About: I have taken care of my own family dogs and cats for my whole childhood and adulthood life. I have been given the experience of watching my neighbors and friends' pets. It has ranged from hamsters to dogs. I also have experience with training and watching after puppies. I work full-time as a teacher so am home by midafternoon. I take a mile walk before I leave for work and when I get back, so your pet will receive adequate exercise and stimulation. I have a dog to keep your furry friend company! He is very calm and loves other animals. I have space if your animal needs separation or to be crated for any reason.
“Elizabeth did a great job caring for my 3 cats. Two are seniors and the other cat had some recent health problems. Elizabeth communicated clearly and took care of feeding and watering all 3 cats plus some flowers on my porch. Elizabeth is punctual and reliable.”
“Catie made herself available for last minute drop in which we really appreciate. Our fourth booking with her for our dog who seems very excited about Catie visits!”

“Stacey P communicated with me about my dog twice daily keeping me informed of how he was doing. She took excellent care of my very elderly dog and even had some helpful suggestions about his care. I would definitely book her again.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I chose Sarah specifically because she has so many repeat customers, and it's easy to see why! My cat normally hides from strangers, but walked right up to Sarah at our meet-and-greet. The biggest thing for me was, there was a huge snowstorm coming while we were gone, and Sarah made sure to come over extra early on the day the storm was due to hit, to make sure our kitty had more than enough food and water to last her a bit longer if needed. And it WAS needed, the storm was so bad there was a travel ban put in place for days, but because of Sarah's pre-planning our kitty did just fine until we could get home to her two days later. Sarah, I can't thank you enough!”


“Andrea was super kind and communicative, and really patient with our relatively high energy/touch sensitive dog. I really appreciated her taking the time to let me explain her care during our M&G. She sent pictures regularly and played Mizzy's favorite games with her! I'd absolutely book with Andrea again :)”

About: I have take care of dogs and cats since I can remember. I’ve always had family pets that I looked after. Recently I started to pet sit professionally and have looked after pets with all manners of personalities and needs. I am currently working full time with a hybrid schedule. Monday through Wednesday in the office and Thursday through Friday remote. I am free every weekend and anytime after 5pm. Because each pet parent is unique and has their own ways to raise and care for their pets I strictly adhere to their rules and guidelines. That includes areas they have their pets walk and house rules for those that request house sitting.
“Carolyn is amazing! She watched our cat while we were away on vacation. She administered medication every day and made sure to send us fun pics of our cat! She is hands down the best cat sitter on here!”
“Ariana took such good care of our lil man, Mr. Teddy. 💞 The pictures were fantastic as we were away. And she handled giving his daily oral medicine extremely well. 10/10!”

About: Full-time medical student, eager to get my (and your pup's) steps in! I've grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have 1 at home, so I have some experience caring for pups, to say the least. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Would love to give your pup all the love and attention it deserves, whether it be for a simple walk or an adventure to the park! I will make sure you're dog feels at ease and safe when with me, because that's how I'd want my own dogs to feel. If they have any dietary or health restrictions I'll be sure to pay extra attention to them while spending time with them. I love photography as well so I'll be sure to send pictures of your little model on our walks. I'm currently a full time medical student so my schedule revolves around what organ block i’m learning about but would be more than happy to find a time that works best for you, your pet, and me. During weekdays I am mostly available after 3:30 pm, but weekends are much more flexible! I would make sure your dog felt safe and was having fun while in my care. When caring for pets, I want to make sure all their needs are met and I am treating them as if they were my own pet. I love to go on walks to grassy and green areas so your dog will definitely be seeing some park action when with me.
“Emma helped us out last minute by watching our dogs. Our dogs are unique and have special restrictions, so I was initially concerned about entrusting a stranger to care for them! However, Emma did a wonderful job and the weekend went off without issue. She was attentive and quick to respond via text as well!”

About: I have professional dog care experience from working at Hounds Town, where I managed dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels in safe group and individual settings. I’m also Dog Management Level 2 certified, with training in dog behavior, handling, and safety. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m used to planning my schedule around dogs’ needs like walks, feeding, playtime, and consistent attention from my experience at Hounds Town. I also have a rescue dog of my own who requires extra patience and understanding, so I’m very comfortable caring for shy, anxious, or nervous dogs who may require more time to become comfortable. Providing calm, attentive, and reliable care is something I truly enjoy and prioritize every day. For drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and quality time with play or affection based on their personality. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. During walks, I prioritize safety with secure leash handling and awareness of our surroundings. I adjust each walk to your dog’s pace and energy level. Whether that’s an active walk or a relaxed stroll with time to sniff. I also send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and in good hands.
About: I grew up with dogs, so I am pretty comfortable around them. My services for dogs is mainly taking out for walks and feeding them when you're unavailable. Not much luck in the job department as of late, so I'd rather do something to keep active and make a little something from it. The reward is getting to meet your pets and knowing that I am helpful in the time of need. I am available on weekdays anytime after 8am. I will do as the future client suggests when it comes to caring and feeding their pet. I will treat their pets as if they were my own.
About: I have raised two dogs (one large bread and one small bread) both from puppy to 16 & 17yrs old. I have had three cats (one still residing with me). Currently I dog sit two fur babies since 2020. In a week I am losing one of my buddies due to his parents relocating. I am already missing him and am hoping to make some new walking and cuddling partners. I work part time on weekends but can sit with advanced notice. Monday til Wednesday I am available for anytime on shorter notice. When I have your furry sweetheart I do not leave them by themselves at all,so I like to schedule when there is nothing to conflict with the time I have them. When in my house they have no restrictions from me, only what the parent wants. I have an outside bathroom area on leash for quick bathroom trips. I like to go for at least one or two long walks per day, weather permitting and your dogs abilities. I live in a walkable neighborhood and close to parks. When at your house I will follow whatever routine your partner is used to.
“Kate was very professional and did a fantastic job with our anxious dog. She showed up right on time for multiple visits and took our dog on a nice walk. She made sure he was appropriately fed and taken care of. We'll be asking her to watch our dog again!”

“My cats can be temperamental and all have little things they need for their care and Lana fit the bill to accomplish those things. She sent us so many photos of our babies and kept us up to date on their daily happenings. She is also the only person outside of my family that has cared for my dog. I was nervous about leaving him behind but she took the utmost care of him and he was doing great when we got back.”

Cold Spring pet parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer went above and beyond when taking care of Arlo, by not only ensuring he was fed but that he had enough play time and attention while I was gone. I would recommend booking her if you need someone reliable and with flexibility. Plus, she'll take a lot of cute photos of your pet!

Nick watched our cats 🐈 🐈 over the holidays. Very grateful to have someone so kind and respectful of our home checking in on them! Would definitely recommend Nick! He was very responsive and was even kind enough to water our plants 🪴 (which was a huge help).

Elisabeth took incredible care of my dog while I was out of the country for two weeks. It’s the first time I’ve seen my dog look happy in my absence! I got plenty of photos and updates and didn’t worry once. Elisabeth even stepped into extend visits when I got stranded for 24 hours. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!

Amanda is truly a godsend! She took wonderful care of my boys on short notice during the holidays, which gave me so much peace of mind. She sent updates at every visit that made me laugh and showed how well she genuinely got to know them. Amanda is amazing, and you can absolutely trust her to provide loving, attentive care. I’m so happy to have found our future sitter!

Marine did a great job taking care of Chidi, who I know can have his behavior quirks and difficulties! She was very responsive and a pleasure to work with- I trusted that Chidi was in good hands when I had to take a last minute trip out of town. I received lots of pictures and Chidi looked like he had a great time. I would definitely have her care for Chidi again and recommend her to anyone looking for A+ cat care!

Ashley was phenomenal!! My circumstances were so last minute and she was so accommodating and flexible to help. She checked in daily with all the updates and great photos to keep me included in their day to day. My dogs had a wonderful time with her and I would absolutely love to use her services in the future and will hands down be recommending her to others. Thank you!

Heather has been cat sitting for us for a couple years now and her attention to detail and level of care for our cats is phenomenal. We always receive amazing daily updates with lots of pictures. We know our cats are in good hands with Heather and can enjoy our time away.
