“Laurinda was AMAZING!!! When I booked her, Laurinda offered to come over to my apartment the weekend before I was leaving, so she could meet Binx and go over everything. She had such a sunny vibe and she and Binx clicked! While I was gone, she would send me pictures/updates after every single visit! Laurinda also brought my cat some toys she thought he’d enjoy...and she was right! Binx LOVES the toy mice!! She even sent me the information so I can order more in the future. I plan to use Laurinda in the future and highly recommend her! She’s sweet, attentive and totally trustworthy!! Laurinda if you’re reading this...YOU ROCK!!”
“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!”
“Michelle was great! She had excellent communication. Sent daily pics and was attentive to my pups needs. She didn’t hesitate to send a message if she thought something was off. She even went the extra mile to feed my fish! Would recommend 100/10!”
“Morgan was great with our two cats!! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and was attentive to detail. We will definitely book her pet sitting services again?”
“Nana and Scott are a wonderful couple who clearly love animals. They met my cats, Pepper and Petunia, and they were both comfortable greeting them and going through the spoiled cats routine with me. 😂 I look forward to rebooking with them.”
“Kelli did a great job looking after my cat and home while I was on frequent trips. She was an excellent communicator and showered my cat with love and attention. She was respectful and caring about my home as well often taking in packages that I forgot were being delivered.”
“Sydney was fantastic. She was communicative, left through notes on the Rover card, and sent adorable pictures of our cats. I'll definitely be using her for future trips!”
“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.”
“Leonard was great! Kept my 3 cats alive and well! Gave me great peace of mind knowing they were well cared for when I went back to the mainland to deal with my mom's care.”
“Melanie was so great! Highly recommend - she took great care of my cat and sent lots of pictures and updates. My cat loved her!! She also brought in my mail, which was an added bonus. Will definitely book again!!”
“Olivia was an amazing cat sitter! She stayed for the full 30 minutes each visit and was very professional and communicative the whole time. She also helped us a ton by being able to catsit through the holidays, including on Christmas Day. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“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.”
“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!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - The Colony
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.
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.
