“Kelli has been a gift to our family! She regularly checks in on our elder dog, Roxy, while we are at work or out of town. Kelli is incredibly thoughtful and sweet... she puts my heart at ease to know our fur baby is in such good hands when we can't be there. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelli to anyone looking for a compassionate dog sitter in the future!”
“Morgan did a great job watching my cat while I was out of town. She visited twice a day and included many pictures with each visit. I would highly recommend her and will book again.”
“Laurinda has quickly become our go-to cat sitter! She is thoughtful and an excellent communicator. She is detail oriented and has an easy kindness for pets. My cat warmed up to her so quickly on her meet and greet. Laurinda is empathetic and helpful as she supported me navigating a small scare when my cat ate a string. She provided vet recommendations and quick tips to look out for. I’m so grateful to have found Laurinda and I highly recommended her!”
“Firstly, I really appreciated the Rover app. It was so easy to choose our provider and Marisa responded immediately. She came to our home the same morning to meet our dogs and discuss our needs. Marisa routinely gave me updates and sent pictures of our dogs throughout the time we used her services. Our home was kept perfectly neat and the dogs were happy when we returned home. We will absolutely use Marisa in the future and have told others about our experience with Rover. Vickie Krolikowski”
“Aivy was the best! She was prompt with her little report cards and took lots of pictures that put this cat mom at ease. 100% will be booking her for future visits. I appreciate all she did!”
“Sydney is so amazing! She is super communicative and she sent me so many photos of my cats while I was gone! My cats are typically pretty shy around new people and never come out. They warmed up to her very quickly!! I will definitely rebook in the future.”
“Sarah is amazing! She is professional, timely and cared for our cats as if they were her own. She got our older cat to take her pill and was through in inspecting our house for damages from the kitten. Sarah is considerate and asks questions during her meet and greet. Hands down one of the best pet sitters we have ever had.”
About: Now living in a house with a BIG backyard! I have had pets my whole life. I have experience with a variety of dog breeds and currently have a sweet 7 year old golden boy! We love walks and going to the park and cuddling. I am able to give medications as needed. I work a few minutes from home and am able to come by at lunch as needed. I am home in the evenings and often take a walk before or after work. I live in a house with a nice big backyard for playtime! Walking trails are nearby for nice walks. I am a loving and comforting caregiver and will provide your pet with all of the love and attention they need!
“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of my two cats. It was comforting to know they were in great hands while I was out of town. She provided updates and pictures and was overall great at communicating which kept me from any worry! I will definitely book Olivia again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Ember was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was top-notch from start to finish — she kept us updated regularly with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond in every way, making sure our dogs were not only cared for, but genuinely loved. It’s clear she takes pride in what she does and treats every animal like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will 100% be booking with Ember again. Highly recommend!”
“Kathleen was a great drop In sitter for my Roxie. She took extra care and kept in contact with me. It was for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day which took her away from family each day. She did stay some extra time with Roxie which I’m sure my baby really enjoyed.”
“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.”
About: I’ve cared for pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years, including senior dogs who needed extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I have experience with feeding, walking, playtime, giving lots of love, and sticking to each pet’s routine. I also have pets of my own that I’ve raised and trained, and they’ve lived long, happy, healthy lives. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. 🐾 I’m currently not working, and I’ll be welcoming a newborn this summer. I’m looking for a flexible opportunity that fits into my new daily routine while allowing me to do something I truly enjoy. Caring for animals has always been something I love, so pet sitting is a perfect fit. I’m dependable, responsible, and excited to provide loving, attentive care for your pets while building a schedule that works well for my family and yours. I’m happy to care for pets either in my home or in my clients’ homes, depending on what works best for you. I do want to be transparent that I’ll have my newborn with me this summer, but that won’t affect the love, attention, and quality care I provide. I’m very flexible and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to work with owners to find an arrangement that works best for everyone.
About: I have had a heart for the four legged friends since I could walk. From a round of tug of war to running around the backyard to cuddling on the couch, it brings me joy to make animals feel loved. I am a teacher so I do have a teacher schedule throughout the week but I am home earlier most days (by 3:30 or 4:00). Your pet is free to lounge freely in the house while we are gone unless you have crate trained them and would like them put in their crates. We have a large house with no carpet and tile/wood throughout in case of any accidents. We do have a small dog (who can lounge with your furry friend and who is also crate trained) as well as a cat-who minds her own business most of the time. Our children LOVE dogs and are great at playing and helping your furry friend get lots of exercise. We have a fully fenced yard. Crates during the day or lounging around the house is completely up to you. We have a cat who minds her own business and doesn’t mind dogs. Our dog Sherlock is the friendliest most playful little terrier who just loves making friends with everyone!
“Daniela is the best. I had an emergency and she was able to accommodate Mr. Bailey Dior. From the time of our initial visit, my son was treated with care as if he was her own. Playdates. He socialized very well. Thank you so much. Will be using her services again.”
“Jaimee did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! He seemed to be very happy and comfortable in her care. She followed all of our instructions well, provided us with plenty of information and photos, and made sure he got all of the love and attention needed. This was all during a bad period of storms and flooding, and she still made the trip over to make sure out pet was taken care of. She even went above and beyond to bring in packages and help with some issues with our house that were caused by the storms and power outages. Would definitely recommend Jaimee!”

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!
Summer was amazing with my cat Tofu! She communicated with me often, sent proof of fresh water, litter cleaning, and even reported when he pooped and peed. She also went above and beyond and helped us vacuum our room and bathroom because of the litter tracked. My cat doesn’t like anyone else besides me, but he warmed up to Summer after two days and came out to greet her and gave her kisses. I am definitely booking again when I go out of town!
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 July 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 July 2026, there are 3,897 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.
