About: Hi, I’m Ashlynn - I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities, including senior pets and those who require oral medications. Every pet deserves individualized care, so I take the time to learn their routine, favorite activities, and unique needs, I’m happy to provide the care that’s best for them. I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to accommodate a variety of routines and visit times. While you’re away, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Pet comfort is my top priority, always. As a Cat Mama, caring for animals is second nature to me. First thing in the morning, I am providing unconditional pets and scritches before ensuring food is given and litter boxes are tidied up. For dogs, potty-time immediately and food prepared simultaneously. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting exclusively in your home, where your pet can stay in a familiar, low-stress environment and maintain their normal routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s unique needs, carefully follow your care instructions, and treat your home with the same respect I would my own. You can count on reliable communication, regular photo updates, and compassionate care while you’re away.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a Trauma ICU nurse, I’m naturally attentive, dependable, and calm under pressure. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own. I love being active and especially enjoy taking dogs on walks, exploring parks, and getting them outside for plenty of exercise and playtime. I’m also happy to help with feeding, medications, and maintaining their usual routine. I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates along the way so you never have to wonder how they’re doing! As a nurse, I work three 12-hour shifts per week, which gives me several full days off and plenty of flexibility for pet care! On my days off, I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, and longer stays. My work schedule varies week to week, but I know my schedule in advance and keep my availability updated so you’ll always know when I’m available. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. I’ll carefully follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, medications, walks, potty breaks, and any special needs or preferences. In your home, I’ll be respectful of your space and make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other safety measures are always secure. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health and will keep you updated with plenty of pictures and messages while your pet is in my care
“Courtney was awesome with my shiba inu, despite her being a difficult dog. Her patience and kindness allowed her to build trust with my dog. She was prompt and provided a very detailed summary. Definitely recommend to anyone and will definitely book again!!”


About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.
About: I worked at a boarding pet care store for over 2 years in high school. Where I took care of dogs of all ages and sizes as well as working up front where I gained tons of knowledge about animals. I currently have not much to do since I’m on winter break for college and have no other major responsibilities or vacations. I also can always stay the night if needed. I make sure that any pet feels safe and comfortable with me as well as ensure that they get the proper care and love they need while I’m with them.

About: My family has had dogs since before I was born! I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and know how to take care of fur babies of all ages :) Almost four years ago I adopted my first cat. Fast forward to today, I am now a mother of two orange special needs kitties. They are my world 🌎 ❤️🐾 I currently work part time and go to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On school days, class starts at 9 and I will have an hour and a half between classes to let a pet out to go to the bathroom, feed them, or give them medication. Then I have another class from 1-3. After that, I will be totally free to assist any pets. I also work part time 3-4 days when I do not have school. These are usually 6-8 hour shifts, but I can adjust feedings/walking/medication administration around these times. And when in doubt, I have several well regarded Rover friends that are willing to help out on my longer shifts, with client approval. :-) I have space to keep a crate for overnight visits and live in an apartment complex with some green space to walk and explore. I am also only a few minutes away from five different parks, so lots of options to check out. I have two cats that are dog friendly, but can be separated if the dog is not cat friendly !

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Cold Spring. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Cold Spring after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Every walker 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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
