“Sebastian did an amazing job watching Lucy while I was out of town. This was the first time I had ever left her, so I was pretty anxious, but he completely put my mind at ease. He communicated consistently, always letting me know when he was on his way to check on her, and he sent pictures during every drop-in which really reassured me that she was happy and well cared for. It was clear he genuinely cared about her and took the responsibility seriously. I would absolutely recommend Sebastian to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and caring to watch their pet.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Jessica. She provided perfect care for our cats, kept everything tidy, sent helpful updates, and treated them like her own. We felt totally confident leaving them in her hands. We highly, highly recommend Jessica!”
“Lana went above and beyond for my furr baby! She sends so many pictures. She’s extremely communicative and makes you feel so good about leaving your pet for a bit! Trust me they’re in great hands with Lana! I won’t use anyone else!”
About: “Hey! I’m Loki, a 35-year-old pet sitter with previous experience working for a professional company (‘Wags in the City’ in Charlotte, NC) and lots of happy repeat clients. I recently moved here with my two dogs and I’m used to caring for everything from goofy puppies to senior pets who need a gentler pace. I offer in-home care, walks, drop-ins, and backyard play for dogs and cats, whether you’re on vacation or working long hours. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions your pet needs. Message me with any questions—can’t wait to meet your furry buddy.” Part time walker and sitter availability within 30 miles of The Colony area. Pet care is important to me and I have a lot of experience I want to make your pets comfortable while your at work or on vacation and safety is very important to me. I will care for your furry friend like it was my own cat or dog!
About: I’ve always grew up with dogs and cats I own two dogs myself I’m very attentive and honest will work with you to make sure your dog is taken care of I typically can do walks after work or weekends I’m available all day I work Mon thru Friday but the best times is weekends for me I will make sure the dogs are safe and bring water and poop bags I’ll make sure the dogs are always safe and away from other dogs and traffic
About: Have an energetic dog who needs more walking? Let them come take a walk with me! I'm an avid daily walker and often go hiking and backpacking. I used to love walking with my own dog and look forward to walking with yours! I work fully remote and have a flexible schedule and can accommodate your scheduling needs. I specialize in weekday morning walks and in-home visits with additional evening and weekend availability. Dogs and cats appreciate routine and schedules as much as we do! My goal is to provide your furbaby with a routine as close to their regular schedule as possible, whether that's walks, playtime, food or medication.
“VERY last minute booking and had fast response and availability to fit my needs. Was able to give my pupper a small walk and potty break while I was out of town. Received multiple pictures during the experience and while my dog seems a little skiddish around strangers, I saw her very happy in the photos in a very short time. A big thank you! Made my life and schedule alot easier today with your services.”
About: My schedule is very flexible! I work remotely during the week, which allows me to adjust my day around your cat’s needs. I’m available for drop-ins throughout the day and can often accommodate longer visits if needed. If your kitty benefits from extra company, I’m happy to bring my laptop and work from your home while keeping them company. Weekends are typically wide open for me, so I have plenty of availability then as well. I’m always happy to coordinate with your schedule and your cat’s routine to make sure they receive consistent, attentive care while you’re away. I take a very gentle, respectful approach with cats, especially those who may be shy or cautious. My own cat is quite timid, so I understand how important patience and a calm presence are when earning a cat’s trust. I always move at your cat’s pace and make sure they feel safe and comfortable during each visit. I carefully follow any instructions you provide and aim to keep your cat’s routine as consistent as possible. During visits, I’ll refresh food and water, keep litter boxes clean, and spend quality time with your cat—whether that means playtime, enrichment, or simply keeping them company. I also pay close attention to your cat’s wellbeing and will monitor for any changes in behavior, appetite, or energy levels. If I notice anything unusual, I’ll communicate with you right away. After every visit, I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident that your cat is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“She came through in a pinch and did great with our two dogs. Ava was always on time, the pups loved her company, and is a great communicator. We will definitely look to her any time we travel or need an extra hand!”
About: Ever since I was born, I have always had a dog in my home! Once I got to middle school, I started dog sitting for neighbors and made an instant connection with their gentle giant, a great pyrenees named Butters! I also frequently have helped my sister with babysitting her kitty while she was out of town. I love being active and really getting to know each animal, each new personality is so fun to get to know!! One of my favorite passions is baking, so I am always looking to whip up some dog treats for my own fur baby, Livi! I am currently working part time, giving me plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. I primarily open at my current job, making me arrive at 4:45am and leaving at 10:45. Except for the early mornings, my schedule is usually completely flexible! Unfortunately, I will not be boarding any pups at my home. I have a four year old Cavapoo who does not mesh too well with other dogs.
About: I've taken care of dogs for over 20 years. I've cared for dogs requiring administration meds, diabetes, skin and eye conditions. I am gentle, caring and firm when necessary. I love taking walks with them and engaging with them for playtime. A happy dog is a healthy dog. I am currently working remotely and have time during the day to monitor and care for your pet in their own home environment and surroundings. I would prefer caring for your pet in your home, a place that is familiar to them that would avoid the anxiety of being in an unfamiliar place. I would discuss their routine with the client to ensure the same continuity of care they would be given if the client was at home.
“She followed all of my instructions well and was very easy to communicate with. She also sent plenty of photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I felt very comfortable leaving my pet in her care and would definitely book with her again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - The Colony
Nana and Scott always take such great care of my two cats. Pepper and Petunia can be a handful sometimes, and Nana has really taken the time to get to know them and their quirks and helps keep them as close to routine as possible when I’m away. They have been a lifesaver.
Julia has been a terrific cat sitter! She always followed my instructions, even when it wasn't easy (like giving my senior cat her meds). She gave me updates and photos of every visit which gave me great comfort while I was away. I am sad that this will be the last time I use her service as we are moving out of state. I know Brigitte will miss Julia very much!
Morgan was wonderful! She visited our cat every day, spent time playing with her, kept her area clean and tidy, and kept us updated throughout our trip. Our cat was very happy, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands so we could enjoy our time away. Morgan is a lovely person, dependable, and clearly cares about the pets she looks after. We’re so happy to have found her and will absolutely use her again!
I will always recommend Sydney. This was my second time booking her to watch my baby. Sydney is always communicative and patient. Even when Elaina (my cat) was being particular this trip (mad at me for leaving again), she still came out of her safe space. That speaks volumes on the kind of person Sydney is.
Laurinda was amazing! This was a bit of a last minute decision and she was super easy to communicate with and very familiar with the fickle ways of cats. I felt very at ease with my little ones in her care. Her updates were wonderful and made me smile with the notes about each of them and the photos. I will absolutely reach back out next time we need someone to check in our cats.
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!!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in The Colony is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in The Colony. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
