“I have had Megan persist my cat, Peaches whenever I am out of town since October 2024. She has been a wonderful sitter and I feel very comfortable leaving the care of my precious girl in her hands”
About: I have a dog of my own that I take care of sometimes and have dogsat for several families around me for a couple years. I work a part-time job and am involved in extracurriculars, but I will have time as needed on some weekends and time off from school. I always feed the pets, take them outside on walks and nature time or just let them run around, and play with them for a while.
“Alexandru was very trustworthy and personable! We are so appreciative of all of his help in taking care of our two kitties! He made sure to check everything I showed him each day and kept me up to date on everything!! 10/10 recommend!”
About: I’ve had an obvious and innate love of all types of critters ever since I’ve had both feet on the floor. No matter their personality, furry (or scaley!) friends always brings a smile to my face. My first pets were fish, gerbils, guinea pigs and geckos in my lower/middle/high school years and these days I spend all my free time with my 6 year-old tabby, Sock. I grew up around dogs and I’d be delighted to make the acquaintance of yours. I pride myself on being able to respond quickly to the needs, requests and personalities of both you and your pet! After a busy spring, my availability has widened considerably for the summer allowing me to prioritize one of my favorite interests: caring for animals! While new to the rover platform, I am excited to grow my returning clientele with more scheduling opportunities! My home is the protected territory of my cat, Sock, so I don’t offer playdates in my home. However, I’d be delighted to look after you and your pet’s territory! I’ll make sure they don’t get into anything for-humans-only and ensure that the space you share is just the way you left it.
“Wolf did an INCREDIBLE job taking care of our babies while we were away! They took the initiative to stop by before we left for an introduction and to get to know us, which left me feeling completely confident in them. We got a great little summary every day of how the visit went and several silly pictures each day of the cats. Wolf was such a treat and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a competent and capable pet sitter!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who’s been caring for dogs since I was five years old, starting with my first dog, Skipper. I currently have two rescue mixes—a 14-year-old boxer/husky and a 7-year-old pittie/husky—which has given me a deep respect for senior dogs and the quirks that come with them. I have a particular affinity for dogs with special needs and hands-on experience caring for dogs who are deaf, highly anxious, or require daily medications. I’m patient, observant, and take each dog’s routine seriously—your dog will be safe, understood, and well cared for (even if they pretend not to like me at first). Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m available throughout the day for walks, feedings, medications, check-ins, and supervision—not just quick drop-ins. I adapt my day around a pet’s existing routine, not the other way around, and I’m available on weekends as well. Translation: your fur baby will be thoroughly cared for, closely monitored, and occasionally wondering why I’m still there. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any house-specific instructions. I’m attentive without hovering and respect both the pet’s space and your home. Everything will be left exactly as you left it, and your pet will be safe, settled, and properly cared for by someone who knows what they’re doing, regardless of how unimpressed your dog or cat may seem.
About: Hi! I’m Sydney, and I love working with animals. I’m responsible, caring, and patient, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’ve had hands-on experience sitting, volunteering and shadowing in animal care settings, which helped me learn more about pet behavior, handling, and daily care. I’m comfortable following routines, paying attention to details, and giving each pet the care they need. I do work part-time so I will have some availability throughout the week and on weekends, making it easy to provide check-ins, feeding, playtime, and lots of care for your pets. I treat every pet like my own and always follow the owner’s instructions. Whether in my home or yours, I’ll provide a safe, clean, and calm environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and care.
“Cathy was great with my cats. My shy cat even came around to her. She communicated with me daily while on vacation. I was able to enjoy my vacation so much more knowing my cats were well taken care of.”
“Ginger went above and beyond! I just wanted someone to feed Harvey and give him his insulin but she actually cared and played with him! Made me feel better about being gone. Also the Rover Cards I got were some of the cutest pics of him ever!”
About: Beyond being in an animal household all my life, I also have 3 years of working animal boarding experience (PetSuites if any are familiar) where my job was to feed, walk, bathe and hold playtimes with both dogs and cats! Growing up, my family’s house was the local suburban neighborhood zoo. Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, small mammals - you name it, I’ve taken care of it before! All of this experience includes taking care of puppies/kittens as well as elder animals, providing medication under precise circumstances and even making elaborate dog/cat meals for those lucky animals who are happy to be spoiled by their loving parents. I will ensure your animal is cared for to the absolute best of my ability and that every detail left in instructions are followed to the letter. Hopefully, your animal and I will have fun along the way! I currently work as a teacher - so my availability will be limited to between 4 PM and 10 PM on weekdays with FULL availability on the weekends. For the summer I have full availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with limited availability every other day of the week. Typically, I am available for services from 6-8 AM and/or 7-10 PM on those days. I find that the better I get to know an animal, the easier it is to understand what they need - beyond the specified instructions already provided, that is. If an energetic young pup seems to begging for playtime - I’m happy to stick around a bit and play some tug of war. If a dog is rubbing their head against my hands? I know it’s time for some belly rubs. Whatever an animal may need, I will do my best to make em happy.
“Saul took time to come over and meet Myla before his first drop in. He has been extremely helpful in helping us take care of our puppy. Great at communicating when he will be dropping in and even sends us daily updates and pictures!”
“Allison did great with my puppy! I could tell that he was happy to see someone throughout the day while I was gone. She also provided great updates on my puppy and included pictures!”
“Ariel did a great job with Foo Foo. She walked her, too k care of her, gave her meds, and is very caring with her. She sent me pictures while she was with her and made me feel at ease that someone responsible was with my baby. I would definitely recommend Ariel!”
“Corey is the best! He has been regularly dropping in on my two pups for a few weeks now and they absolutely love him. He is reliable, punctual, and just has a kind and calming presence. He knows and understands dogs well, and that experience shows. I would trust him with my pets any day!”
About: I’ve always been around dogs, I’ve grown up with 4 dogs and I love them all. I work at pet supplies plus, so I see many dogs throughout my work shifts and making them happy and comfortable is what I love to do!! I am currently a student at Northern Kentucky University and work part time at Pet Supplies Plus. I have most afternoons/evenings free as I have classes in the morning as well as my work shifts. I am completely free on Saturday afternoons and Sundays! I focus on caring for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and prioritize safety, routine, and attention.
About: I’ve take care of dogs and cats over the years, for mostly friends and family. I also have three cats myself, and love meeting new pets! I will take care of your pets like my own. I work from home so my schedule is super flexible! I can make drop in visits around meetings and come, if you need very particular time needed for a drop in I can accommodate that. I have three cats with all very different personalities, each pet has very different needs as well. I have two cats with special needs as well, one has asthma, and one with irritable bowel disease. Whatever your pet needs, or you need to be comfortable while gone, can definitely do because I get it!
About: I am … obsessed with animals. I have been taking care of pets my entire childhood and after graduating college, started raising my own! I was a nanny and dogsitter all throughout college and I have a genuine love for all animals, big and small. I am currently working a hybrid job, so my schedule is very flexible. I also live with my husband, who has been a veterinary technician since 2016. We can handle all kinds of medications, special needs, etc plus one of us is almost always home! I consider myself to be very patient and kind when dealing with others’ pets. I know how important it is to me that my fur baby is taken care of when I’m away, so I promise to treat yours just like my own. I love meeting pets of all ages and kinds, and promise to give each and every one the love they deserve!!! Between my husband and I, someone is almost always home! I wot a flexible hybrid schedule. My husband is currently in school so he’s away for a couple hours for classes a few days per week and then comes right back home. But we’re always willing and able to accommodate things outside of our schedule, just ask! If providing care in my home, I have one older dog named Teddy. We also have a dog park at my apartment complex and lots of places to walk nearby. If providing care at your home, let me know your preferences! I’m happy to walk your baby or just snuggle, whatever you want.
About: I’ve had pets my whole life starting with our family dogs. My first pets of my own were my 2 cats, Cleo and Cloe. Then my Boxer, Daisy. When Daisy passed, I became a foster mom with the Stray Animal Adoption Program. 10 years and over 100 fosters later, I’ve welcomed into my home everything from litters of puppies to adult dogs, seniors, medical fosters, kittens and adult cats and I love them like my own until they find their furever home. I currently have one dog named Marlie and a cat named Gibbs. I work full time and am away from home between 10:00 am and 6:00 pm each day. I do have the flexibility to come home at lunch for a mid-day potty or snack break, if necessary. Since I work during the day, my evenings are most often spent taking my dog for a walk around town. I also love to garden. I have taken my personal dog, Marlie, through general obedience training, nose work (scent detection) training and agility classes for fun.

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 Cold Spring 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 Cold Spring 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 Cold Spring with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
