“Aivy was the absolute best! She gave us the cutest pictures and left great reports after every trip to see our fur babies! She gave us such a peace of mind knowing our guys were in such great hands! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Kelli has been my goto pet sitter for my cats for the past 2 years. She does an incredible job giving my cat his medication and making sure they have food and entertainment. My cats definitely enjoy having her come visit.”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I've cared for my own pets as well as those of friends, family, and neighbors. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a specific routine, I enjoy making pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to spare and an open schedule to help keep your pet company throughout the day. Safety is my top priority. I carefully follow owner instructions, use secure leashes and harnesses, monitor pets closely during walks and visits, and maintain a safe environment at all times. I also provide regular updates and am quick to communicate any concerns to pet owners.
“Casandra was great with Juno! Juno is very particular on who he likes and immediately at the meet and greet Juno was very receptive to Casandra! Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby”
“We have used Nana & Scott three times now I believe and each time, we have felt so confident that our pups are in wonderful hands. They communicate with us so well, love on our dogs, and give us each the peace of mind we need to enjoy our trips without worry. Booking with Nana & Scott is a no brainer.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and it was great! Lana was so sweet to our senior kitty, providing regular updates and answering my questions. I would absolutely use Rover and Lana again in the future!”
“Sydney had been a blessing to us taking care of our 3 dogs on short notice. Sydney S. Kept up updated daily at all meeting times on how our pups were doing. If any issue arises she rose to the challenge, informed us and took our advice. Booking with Sydney again in the future is definitely on the horizon!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over 20 years and truly treat every dog like family. In addition to raising my own pups, I’ve fostered dogs, volunteered with a rescue organization, and have been providing pet care through Rover since 2019. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of caring for hundreds of dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I’ll provide the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. My goal is to make sure both you and your pup feel comfortable, confident, and stress-free while you’re apart. About me: Typically I work from home 2 days a week but those days are flexible and I’m home on the weekends. I volunteer for DFW Boxer Rescue and have fostered a couple dogs for them. I am a HUGE Boxer lover so if you have a Boxer...🙋🏼♀️ please, pick me!! If you want to know more about me or see photos and videos of my Rover dogs feel free to ask for any photos and/or videos. When I say that I treat pets like my children, it is no exaggeration! We treat all dogs like they are our own and they even sleep in the bed with us. I have crates for when they are needed (or wanted) but I do not require them nor do I want to use them unless necessary (which is mainly for meal time). I prefer for the dogs to roam the house and get comfortable like this is their own home.
“Kathleen is amazing and I want to keep her as an official dog sitter forever!! She is flexible and will always ask questions and communicate as needed! You can tell she really enjoys our animals and they love her!”
“Aubrey was the first person we ever used with Rover - she basically helped us raise our little guy from 3 months to 5 months old doing drop in visits. She was always on time, thorough, and above all — our Golden absolutely adored her!”
“Alpa is amazing!! She treats my Grace like she is her own family! I could immediately tell that she was going to be in great hands with Alpa. She communicates about the visits and makes sure you have lots of great updates about their days together. ❤️”
“Laurinda was so great. I have a cat with asthma, diabetes, and chronic upper respiratory problems. She was able to accommodate a last minute booking for my very special cat that needs inhaler treatment, insulin, and nose drops twice a day. She handled him with so much care and love. Thank you so much for taking care of my very special boy.”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud pet parent to two cats. I also adopted a dog during my school years, which gave me hands-on experience with daily walks, training, feeding routines, and lots of playtime. Having cared for both cats and dogs, I understand their different personalities, needs, and routines. I truly believe pets are family, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I work a 9–5 as a data analyst, but I’m free every evening after 5 and all day on weekends. I love spending time with pets, so during my available hours I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care—just like they’re part of the family. I treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, I maintain a clean, calm environment with cozy spots and plenty of toys or stimulation. When visiting a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and go the extra mile to clean up and make it feel like your pet is being cared for by a family member. My goal is to provide a safe, trusting, and loving experience for every pet.
“Addison was absolutely wonderful! She came and let out my golden doodle Charlie for a last minute trip out of town. She went above and beyond making sure he had a walk/exercise. She came and met Charlie before the visit time, which made us all more comfortable! I will definitely ask her to watch him again :)”
“Appreciate you so much Abby! Teddy was provided the best care possible and it sure made our time away from him that much more enjoyable!! 100% trust that you will always do what is best for Teddy, no matter what needs arise. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts (especially Teddy)!!!!”
“Destani was very responsive to messages and always made sure to respond very quickly. She did a great job watching our cat while we were away and made sure to send pictures and give updates with every visit. I was thankful to have her as a pet sitter, she even made sure to keep up with the scheduled visits despite a tropical storm happening! I will definitely book her in the future when needed.”
“Blake was amazing! She checked in everyday while I was gone and gave me updates. She also got my cat to come out and be comfortable with her which rarely happens. She was very kind and professional, I’d definitely use her again!”

Summer was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond caring for my two cats while I was away. One of my cats is still a young kitten and is terrified of just about everything, but Summer was incredibly patient, gentle, and understanding. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. It was clear that she genuinely cared about their well-being and treated them like they were her own. I came home to two happy, healthy cats and a clean, well-maintained space. I wouldn't hesitate to book Summer again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!
Morgan took such great care of our cat while we were away for more than a week. She came by before our trip to meet us, spend time with our cat, and go over all of the care instructions. While we were gone, she was always on time, kept our home clean, and sent regular updates and pictures so we always knew our kitty was doing well. It was obvious she gave our cat lots of love and attention, and when we got home, our cat was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. The best part was that we never had to worry while we were away. It's not easy to find someone you can truly trust with your home and your pet, and Morgan is absolutely that person. We'll definitely be booking her again, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter. Your pets will be in great hands!
Maria went above and beyond when taking care of my cats! She followed all my feeding and litter box instructions to the letter, and gave extra special care and love to my kitties. I can't recommend Maria enough. She's reliable, communicative, genuinely caring, and treats your pets like her own. Booking her again for every future trip!
I’ve trusted Mahmooda with my cat at my home multiple times when away and look forward to more in the future. She is great at communicating and sending lots of pictures and videos (more than any other sitter!). She’s also great at leaving the space as is. I wouldn’t trust anyone over her!
It was our first time using the app and we have a kitten that we just got that is only about two months old, plus our nine year old dog who takes medication daily, so I was nervous! But Aivy was amazing! She took the BEST pictures of the animals too. Overall great experience.
Melanie is so amazing and sweet! She went above and beyond taking care of our dog and cat. As first time Rover users, we realized very quickly that we had nothing to stress about leaving our babies with her. We will definitely be booking with her again, thank you Melanie!!
Samantha is absolutely WONDERFUL. I can’t tell you how grateful I am to come home from our trips to a clean home and happy pups. Samantha is communicative, responsive, and sincerely makes you feel like taking care of your fur babies is her pleasure. Will definitely continue using her services!
Ella was amazing with my cats! She was communicative and even offered to come meet my cats before watching them which made me feel a lot more comfortable leaving them with her. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and fulfilled my special requests! I will definitely be using her again in the future! Thank you Ella!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in The Colony on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,936 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across The Colony. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in The Colony. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
