House Sitting in Cold Spring

“Samantha was absolutely fantastic with our three pups. Our little dog has anxiety and liking new people is a bit of a challenge, but she took to Samantha quickly and even gave her some kisses. 10/10 recommend”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, whether that be my own, my neighbors, or my grandparents. I’ve worked in a doggy daycare for 3 years, walking, feeding and giving potty breaks to the dogs and of course playing with them! Through daycare I have gained experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes and ages. From young and full of energy to older and gentle. I’ve had experience handling high energy dogs as well as reactive dogs. Working in a professional setting has taught me how to read dog body language and manage playgroup safely. I know how tough it is to be away from your pet, I miss mine everyday when I’m away at school, so I will be sure to take lots of photos of your cute furry family member and follow whatever routines you have for feeding, training, medication, exercise, etc. I’m currently working part-time, mostly nights and some afternoons so I’ll have plenty of time for your furry family members! My work schedule is set in stone for the summer, meaning I know exactly what my availability is weeks in advance. This makes it easy for me to plan my shifts around my pet-sitting commitments and ensures I can offer your pup consistent, reliable care without any surprise conflicts. I am dedicated to caring for your pets in whatever setting and way makes you and your furry family member most comfortable! If you prefer care at my place, please note that I live in an upper-level apartment with roommates and do not have a fenced-in yard. However, because of my professional experience, I am extremely vigilant with leash safety, frequent potty breaks, and outdoor supervision. That being said, I completely understand that many pets thrive best in their own familiar environment. If your home is where they feel safest, then that is exactly where I will be to keep them happy, loved, and on their normal routine!

About: Since I was in middle school, I’ve been caring for pets in other people’s homes in my neighborhood. I’ve been responsible for caring for all kinds of dogs, cats, bearded dragons, fish, ferrets, snakes, chameleons, and more. From dog walking, to drop and go visits multiple times a day, to overnight stays of house/dog sitting for up to 14 days, I’ve been familiar with multiple aspects of pet sitting. I am additionally familiar with wound care, some medical conditions, and medication administration for both cats and dogs. I’ve always had a passion for animal care since I was younger and would watch my dad work as a veterinarian, and am glad I can extend my passion into the community. I’m currently a student, and can work in between my classes depending on the needs of the animals. I have my own reliable transportation, and can work with whatever schedule works best for the pets in question. I am more available on weekends as I don’t have classes, although many of them are online as well. I am always accommodating to the needs of the animals being cared for. I understand that all pets have varying needs and levels of care they require, and will always be willing to work towards that. In the home of the pet, I will always ensure I am keeping as close as possible to the animal’s original routines to avoid unnecessary stress, and can ensure proper time management when pet sitting, both with my arrival time to the home and how much time I spend with the animals. Ultimately, it is the owner’s decision how I care for pets in the home.

“Anna is very reliable and it seems that my somewhat, not so sociable kitty, does at times warm up to her. I love getting pictures while I am away. Thanks Anna”

“Our second booking with Abigail and we are glad we booked again. She’s trustworthy and really takes care of our dog Howard like family. She sends pics and updates us every night. Will be using her again soon!”

“Kailyn was wonderful with our puppy! Kailyn had a soft gentle approach with Marley from the beginning. She handled Marley’s jumping puppy energy with a kind and skillful approach. Kailyn kept us updated with texts and photos, which we appreciated so much. Kailyn followed our instructions to a tee. We would not hesitate to call on Kailyn again to care for our precious pup!”

About: I grew up around all kinds of animals, from horses to bearded dragons! The past 12 years I’ve been working in the animal health care world as a vet tech. Not only will I love and take care of your critter while away, but I know what to look out for as well if they ever show signs of needing medical attention. I have lots of experience medicating animals or giving special attention to those older ones. So please think of me when needing someone you trust to take care of your pets while away, or if they just need some company or a walk throughout the day. I also love farm animals, and grew up on a ranch, so let me know if you need someone to watch your horses, chickens, goats, etc. I’m responsible and dependable, and would love to get to know you and your pet(s)! If you need me to stay at your house, know that I have a dog I would need to bring with me. I am very neat and clean, and would leave your house cleaner then when you left it! I will also advise you of any issues or concerns I’ve encountered while caring for your pet. Full disclosure is important to me, so I won’t hide anything from you I work full time but have the option to work from home if needed. I have a fully fenced in backyard and dog door. When staying with me, your pet will be able to choose from 2 dog beds, the living room furniture or my bed when they want to relax after a fun day.

“Outstanding communication and treated the dogs like if they were her own. The house was clean and orderly we would definitely love to have her back again.”

Brenda S.

“Leora stayed at our house for a week to watch our dog while we were out of town and she was amazing! She provided regular updates and took great care of our dog - even including taking her to the vet and taking great care of her when she was sick. Our house was very tidy when we got home and our dog was happy! Thanks, Leora!”

About: I have been responsible for caring for family and friends' pets for quite a few years. Some of the few things I do are let them out, feed them, and replenish their water. I also take them for walks . I am a college student so my schedule is very open. I have a few hours between classes, Which will make it easy to go take care of pets! I don't have my place due to living on campus however I will be careful and safe around your environment to make sure your fur babies are comfortable.

About: I have 15+ years of professional pet care experience through shelter, boarding, dog daycare and rescue experience. I previously managed a large scale, highly awarded facility in Madison. I can offer a vast amount of knowledge to make sure your pet not only has a great time while you are away but also is safe and well card for. I offer walks and drop in visits any day of the week. Walks can be in your own neighborhood, at a nearby trail location of your choosing or off leash at my rural home in our 1.75 acre fenced in yard. (Additional travel fees may apply for locations other than your home.) Your pup will come home tired from not only physical exercise but also from mental stimulation as I will encourage them to use their sniffer and their brain with basic obedience. I also offer a limited amount of In-Home Pet Sitting services in customer homes only. I am not able to sleepover in customer homes due to having pets/children of my own but can offer house sitting on a drop in basis and make multiple, extended visits to your home daily at your preferred times. I look forward to meeting your and your pet! I work a part time job that is only in person on Mondays. Every other day of the week my schedule is very flexible for walks, drop ins or pet sitting services. At our meet and greet we will discuss safety protocols for getting your pet inside and outside safety as well as ensure they have a collar/harness setup that is secure for walks.

About: I’ve always had a dog within my household. I had a childhood dog when I was two and she lived for 14 years. She taught me a lot about being a dog owner and was the best dog. After losing her my family got two more dogs since it was hard not having a dog, we’ve now had them for 4.5 years. I worked at a petting farm for 3.5 years and had a lot of experience with different animals and also puppies since we had raised puppies there. At the petting farm I also worked with cats and got some experience with them. I currently work at a dog kennel and we also have cats there too. I’ve learned how to fully take care of cats, cleaning litter and the boarding rooms, feeding them, giving them medicine, and grooming them by brushing them or wiping their faces. Overall I know how to work with dogs of all ages and cats, and I love being around either of the two! :) Im currently working a part time job, I will have a lot of availability until around mid May. After May I should be flexible with any day and hours! I also plan on leaving my job in August since the kennel will be shutting down so I can fully commit to the dogs on Rover then! :) I take my dogs on walks as much as I can. My parents mainly take care of them since I am a full time student at UWW and I’m only home on the weekends. I also make sure they have food and water 24/7, I let them out as much as possible since they love being outside too even if it’s not going potty, and I give them a lot of attention anytime I see them. I do spoil my dogs a lot too and I would do the same with any dogs I meet! :)

About: I’ve had experience with animals my whole life I’ve always had either a cat or dog in the home but currently only have one dog. I have experience house sitting with both cats and dogs as well as both a cat and dog being in the home. I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting for the last three years but I am new to Rover and would love to meet your pets and make your first experience with Rover incredible:) I’m currently a students with a part time job that’s about 12 hours a week so I have lots of availability during the week and I’m free weekends I build a bond with the animal by greeting them and letting them get to know me. I love playing with them and whatever toys they have or spending time outside

About: Agnes Mable, my dachshund of 12 years taught me patience better than anyone. I love spending time cuddling, giving belly rubs, sniffling frito feet, & running around the yard chasing them like a screaming banshee. I stay at friends & neighbors houses frequently when they're away to watch their dogs, cats, & fish. I also have friends & neighbors dogs over for weeks at a time. I've been doing this the since moving back to Wisconsin in April 2024. I love taking care of pets like their my own. Once I have a fenced in yard, I will welcome another dachshund into my life, but until then I fill my cup with caring for other's doggos & kitty cats. I'm excited to meet you! Extra treats for pugs & extra belly rubs for the heavy weights that can fetch & return! I work from home & the days I'm traveling for work will be unavailable to book. We'll spend all day together! I've got a spacious yard, large back deck that gets direct sun light for the one's that like to bake, & if they get along with other dogs, sometimes I walk over to my sisters with them to meet my favorite pug, Potato! I live in a duplex on the bottom floor so it's easy in & out, no stairs. My yard is massive with lots of plants & trees to sniff around. I'll always take my fur friends outside on a leash. I do have a small crate available for dogs under 15 pounds, toys, treats, & extra leashes just in case you forget something. Most importantly, I have a big lamby & a small lamby.

“Haydn did a great job with my pup. She spent a ton of time with her playing and taking her on walks. I got updates and pictures throughout the time period. The house was in great shape when I got home and and very clean. I would definately recomment Haydn and use her again!”
