“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”
About: What makes me different from other dog sitters is the personalized care and genuine connection I build with every dog I meet. I don’t just follow a routine I take the time to understand each dog’s unique personality, needs, and quirks. Whether it’s an energetic pup who loves long walks or a senior dog who needs a gentler pace and extra attention, I tailor every visit to make them feel safe, loved, and happy. Pet care is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I structure my day around consistent visit times, walks, feeding schedules, and play sessions to ensure each pet gets the attention and care they need. I have a cat tree for cats makes them feel safe and comfortable and also a dog park near me for any dogs whose energetic!
“Casandra did an amazing job and even did a meet & greet ahead of time to give us a peace of mind after having a horrible experience with someone else. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking her again. She also provided lots of updates”
“Elizabeth was a godsend on short notice to tend to our senior dogs with special care. We really appreciate the detailed report on our pets and we can tell she has a warm heart for animals. Thank you very much!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have experience training puppies and handling all kinds of dogs. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter, where I learned about animal behavior and how to properly care for and work with different pets. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule throughout the week and can make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for in a client’s home. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions given by the owner. I also make sure pets feel comfortable by giving them plenty of attention and patience.
“Morgan was absolutely the best! She took great care of my two kitties. I felt like they weren’t as stressed as they usually are when I travel. She sent me tons of pics of my two cats. Will definitely be having her care for my cats in the future.”
“I would highly recommend her! We had her come on our 10 day trip and she was great, she cleaned and was very attentive to our cats, she treated them like they were her own. Any problem that came up she let us know as soon as possible, and was in communication with us throughout the entire process. Our cats absolutely loved playing with her, even our shy cat loved her. She was very thoughtful and thorough with her updates and sent us lots of pictures of our fur babies!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m responsible, dependable, and will care for your pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or lots of attention, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a quick learner, communicate well, and will always keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I am a college student home for the summer with lots of free time, pet care fits into my schedule perfectly! I am an early riser when I need to be and stay up late as-well if needed! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will always follow your care instructions, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they have plenty of love, attention, exercise, and fresh water. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep you updated with photos and messages, and do everything I can to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.
“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!”
“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)!!!!”
About: Hi there! I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid and have an affinity for all pets. I am currently mom to a poodle mix and 2 adorable cats. I’ll treat your dog as if it were my own - with lots of love! I’m up to go anywhere your dog wants to go and take great care of them. I’m always ready to run with your dog or take it slow and chill. Long, slow walks or short, exhilarating walks are all up my alley. I’m willing to meet your dog with you beforehand to see if we’re a fit and make sure I can give y’all the safest and exciting experience. I also can do commissioned drawings of your furry friend! I hope to meet your companion soon and take the good kid on an amazing walk. I took a break from Rover (hence the old reviews) but I am thrilled to be back. I'm currently a graduate student so I try to do this doing my free time Sunday to Tuesday. I am available most mornings and will let you know if I can accommodate. I currently am only able to do drop ins and walks. I treat every client's home with respect and will make sure to leave the home as it was. My number one priority is your pet's safety and happiness!

“Amber was absolutely fantastic! She was very communicative throughout the entire stay and kept me updated with plenty of pictures, which gave me peace of mind knowing Louie was doing well. She followed all of my care instructions exactly as requested and made sure Louie was comfortable and well cared for. She went above & beyond while Louie was in her care. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I would highly recommend Amber to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again!”

We were super grateful Sarah was able to drop in on short notice when our usual sitter couldn’t arrive in time for a potty break before a long weekend. The pups loved her, she followed our weirdly specific instructions to a T, and she provided plenty of photos! Highly recommend.
Christine is the absolute BEST! We feel so extremely fortunate to have found her many years ago. She’s watched both our sweet late Cinnamon girl; and now our two morkies. They absolutely love her! Lots of attention and love and updates with pictures! We prefer home visits and we feel relieved and good knowing someone so reliable and responsible is there with them when we are away. Thank you so much for all the exceptional care and many pictures! Can’t recommend Christine highly enough!

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.
Aubrey is wonderful! She is extremely punctual, a great communicator, very sweet, and so great with my very anxious puppy. She’s very knowledgeable about quality care for pets and always leaves great post visit summaries which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away at work. Definitely book Aubrey!!! ❤️
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.
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.
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!!
This was our first time using Ember on Rover, and we couldn’t have had a better experience! She let our dogs out while we were away and was absolutely awesome. She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease knowing our pups were in good hands. It’s always a little nerve-wracking trying someone new, but she exceeded our expectations. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring help with their dogs! Best experience leaving our dogs!
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!
Claire watched our two dogs during the holiday break and did an amazing job. We have a senior dog that requires special care for behavior and health and an energetic puppy, and they loved being under her care. Claire was reliable and kept strong communication. We would highly recommend Claire and would definitely request her sitting service again in the future :)

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a The Colony stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in The Colony choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in The Colony with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 96% 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.
