“We had a wonderful experience with our Alexis. She was always on time, extremely dependable, and very easy to work with. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dog was in such caring hands. She absolutely loved her, and it was obvious she treated them like her own. Communication was great, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. The quality of care and reliability made it completely worth it. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring for their pets!”
About: I grew up in a multi-dog household. I’ve been pet sitting for neighbors and family friends since I was 11! Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I volunteered with an organization for 4 years raising and training service dogs in training. I have experience with puppies as young as 2 weeks (volunteer health checks) all the way to seniors at 15 years old! I also have grown up with cats and have pet sat for cats, so I have experience with cats of all ages as well! I’m currently in school and have classes Mondays from 9:30-1:50 and Tuesdays from 9-10:50. Wednesdays I have class along with a weekly commitment, so I’m unfortunately unavailable. Thursdays-Sundays I’m usually available all day! My experience with training dogs (and dogs in general) has taught me all about reading body language, picking up on their cues, handling them on walks and in the home, along with training basic commands. I am very attentive and will treat your fur baby as my own!
“Beth is great with our girls. Her communication is always timely. She’s so sweet and loves our girls like they are her own. Lilly our rescue warmed up to her quickly which is always a great sign!”
“Allie was so sweet and wonderful to my cats! I came back today and they were both happy and didn’t seem stressed at all about me being gone! :) I will definitely rebook in the future!”
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!
“Susan was wonderful! Great communication and care for our cat Audie, it was such a relief knowing she was in good hands while we were out of town. Will definitely be using her service again!”
About: I am a dog-loving household excited to welcome your dog into our home. Your furry friend will be treated like family, enjoying plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship with our friendly dogs in a safe, caring, and comfortable environment. I work from home, so your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Our three responsible teenagers love dogs and enjoy playing, cuddling, and helping provide loving care to every furry guest who stays with us. Our pet-friendly home provides a safe, welcoming environment with a fully fenced yard for supervised play, a pool, and a quiet, walkable neighborhood perfect for daily exercise, potty breaks, and relaxing strolls to keep your dog happy and comfortable.
About: I've been lucky to be raised in a dog household and have always been surrounded by dogs- both big and small! I truly treat every dog as my own and give them the love and care they deserve. I have experience with large breeds (I had a great Dane growing up!), puppies and senior dogs. I work fully remote so I'll be at home most of the day to care for and play with throughout the day. I'm available most weekends when I'm not traveling a few times throughout the year. I have an elderly dog, Titus, who has lived with other dogs most of his life and gets along well with all animals (except those pesky squirrels!). I have a fenced in yard where, weather-depending, I leave the door open to allow them to go in & out as they please. I like to take my dog on walks around the neighborhood almost daily and we'd love to have a friend join us!
“Lauren was fantastic with our cats! She medicated our anxious tabby and sent pictures each day! Lauren remained cool and collected when we ran into house alarm snafus. I would highly recommend her services!”
“OK where to start...Tara did a quick meet and greet before the weekend. We have never left our furr-babies with people we didn't know, but right away I felt like she already knew us. She came recommended to us at a last minute. What a wonderful choice! She was punctual stay the whole time slot, took pics. I could tell be the pics my furr-babies were in good hands. Highly recommend her to take care of your furr-babies while away. Thanks so much...definitely on the top of our list.”
“Thank you for taking such great care of our old girl! The updates and pictures were so nice and gave us peace of mind. Tiffany is an amazing dog sitter! This is the second time she’s watched her and I know we will use her again in the future! 🫶🏻🐶”
About: I've had dogs since I was a kid and have always been their primary caregiver, so I know the day-to-day rhythm of caring for a dog inside and out. I have hands-on experience giving medication, since my own dog is a senior, and I've also cared for cats over the years. I've watched neighbors' dogs during their vacations simply because I love it. I'm patient, genuinely enjoy being around animals, and treat every dog like the family member they are. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and lots of time to devote to your pet. I'm happy to walk dogs anywhere from once to three times a week, and can do daily walks if you're nearby. I'm also available to sit with pets who just need companionship a few times a week. Since I work remotely, I do need Wi-Fi access when caring for pets in your home, which lets me stay close by and attentive throughout the day. I offer in-home care at your place rather than my own, so your dog stays comfortable in their familiar environment. For walks, I'll take your dog out for up to an hour, adjusting the time and pace based on their stamina and individual needs. I also offer companionship sitting for a few hours a day, which helps keep your dog's stress levels down while you're away, giving them comfort and attention until you return.
“Andrea has done an incredible job at letting our shy pup go at his own pace. We also appreciate her excellent communication with us about how each visit has been going and in arranging schedules. Darwin is more and more excited each time she visits!!”
“Angel was extremely responsive when setting up the meet and greet and took amazing care of Mr Cat! She sent daily photos and updates and he looked happy and cared for!”
“Ben has an energy where animals of all kinds gravitate to him. Both of my pets were instantly taken with him and they felt at ease with him looking after them – the photos he sent me during the check ins made that very obvious. In the past, I would have looked to take my cat and dog to a Pet Resort – but I prefer having Ben come in to check on them because that takes away the anxiety, seclusion, and chaos of a resort. I've already booked Ben to look after these two again and I will be doing so in the months to come! Very highly recommended...”

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,230 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cold Spring. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
