About: I (Tori) am a third year veterinary student at LIU post with a passion for providing high quality, reliable care to all animals! I have extensive experience working in veterinary clinics as well as pet sitting since I was in high school, so I am comfortable providing medical care to your pets. I understand how important it is finding appropriate pet sitter that accommodates all your needs, as I have two cats at home myself and it takes a lot of time finding the perfect person! I am also currently working in a veterinary clinic on top of being a veterinary student, so I’m constantly improving my education and experience with pet health. My boyfriend (Steven) is also a pet sitter and has a dog (Cho) currently, and has extensive experience caring for dogs. He may join me for some pet sitting gigs unless you prefer just me or him, the pricing does not change. Whether it’s us together or one of us caring for your pets, we strive to be responsible, loving, and provide the best care for your pets. We have 3 pets at home- so it is our priority to treat every animal as if it’s our own! Every pet is unique, and I am more than happy to go above and beyond to provide the care your pets deserve! There is no such thing as asking for “too much”, I will provide as many updates as you need throughout the day, respond to your messages right away, and facetime/video chat if you’d like live updates. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me for any requests, I want to make your experience top notch using me as your rover sitter! Our schedules are open and flexible to care for your pets! Steven and I have differing schedules so we can alternate who can help as well. We have 3 pets in the house so it's very important to us that we provide quality care for ALL animals in our lives, including the ones we petsit for! We are dedicated to providing quality and reliable care and will communicate with you on how we can be the best caregivers. Before we provide any care, we will come to your home and plan an initial meet and greet with you, any family members, and your pet(s) of course so we can make sure everyone is comfortable!

About: Hello, my name is Anna, and I’m a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver with a lifelong passion for animals. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for three wonderful dogs—a Bichon Frise, a Lab mix, and a Pitbull—each of whom taught me something unique about loyalty, love, and responsibility. My Experience I have hands-on experience managing all aspects of dog ownership, including training, daily walks, vet appointments, and all related care expenses. I'm comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes and am confident handling multiple dogs at once. Whether it’s a high-energy pup or a gentle senior, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs. I work full-time, but pet care is a meaningful part of my life and something I make time for. I’m available for evening walks, weekend dog sitting, and flexible drop-ins. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I always ensure they get the attention and love they deserve, no matter how busy life gets. In my home, pets stay in a safe, clean, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I follow their usual routine to help them feel at ease. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick to your pet’s schedule—feeding, walking, and giving them the love and attention they’re used to. Wherever your pet is, I care for them like they’re my own.

About: I’ve had animals all my life so I’m comfortable being around cats and dogs of all kinds. As an adult I’ve raised two dogs from puppyhood. My dogs lived well into their late teens and were the most spoiled pups you’d ever meet. I’m comfortable with puppies and dogs of all ages. I can adapt to the needs of every animal at the owners request. I have a very consistent schedule that allows me to dedicate time to tend to our best friends. I work close to home and have all of my evenings and weekends completely open. I enjoy going to the local parks for long walks and enjoy the company of a furry friend. I’m a incredibly trustworthy person , who treats others homes and their pets like they are my own. I had pet sitters for my own pets and know how much of a responsibility it is to entrust someone with your pet. With pets being sat in my home they are treated like royalty. They have free access to the house. I have a fenced in backyard with a lot of room to run and exercise. I work from home three days a week and the other two i come home for lunch everyday .I am home every night and weekends are completely open and available I have a fenced in yard and live on a quiet street. I have an adult cat who sleeps and minds his business. I do have a crate if your baby needs crating.

About: As a trained ecologist and experienced animal caretaker, I bring professional-level attention and compassion to every pet I work with. My background includes hands-on care for mammals, reptiles, and marine animals, giving me a strong understanding of animal behavior and health. I spend much of my free time hiking and exploring the outdoors, so I’m especially attentive to active dogs who thrive on long walks and enrichment. I’m also a dedicated reptile owner, comfortable with specialized husbandry needs and detailed care routines. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, scaled, or furry, I provide patient, reliable care tailored to their individual personality. My field of work is seasonal. I am currently available full-time. During my work season, I typically work full-time and limit my services better accommodate my schedule. I will carefully follow any instructions left by their owner. As an owner of a pit bull with separation anxiety, I understand the stress some pets feel when their owners are away for extended periods of time, so I will do my best to follow any instructions left by owners to ensure their pets adhere to their daily schedule. I also STRONGLY believe in keeping dogs leashed at all times while on a walk.

About: ave been passionately caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments for over 20 years. My experience ranges from training high-energy puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs who need extra patience and medication. I treat every single guest like a member of my own family, ensuring they get plenty of structure, playtime, and affection. You can enjoy your time away with absolute peace of mind knowing your pup is safe and loved. Because my routine is flexible, pet care is my top priority. I am fully available for weekend boardings and dedicated playtime, and my weekday afternoons are completely open after 2:00 PM. This schedule allows me to provide consistent potty breaks, regular exercise, and plenty of companionship so your pet never feels lonely or anxious while you are away. When caring for your dog in your home, safety and respect for your space are my top priorities. I strictly follow your specific instructions, maintaining your pup's established feeding, walking, and crate routines to keep their anxiety low. I am incredibly mindful of home security—making sure doors and gates are always locked—and I will keep you updated with plenty of photos so you know both your dog and your home are in excellent hands.

About: I grew up with dogs all my life, from puppies to seniors I always made sure they always had the best dog life to live. It is important to always be flexible for your fur babies because they are just as unpredictable as humans are. I always make sure to always be attentive to their needs and never neglect them when they need you the most. Dogs as they get older develop their own routines themselves and will make sure their humans are aware of it too which is important to always pay attention. I care for the pets in my home and others by always respecting their boundaries and always making sure they are comfortable and safe first.

Christina was an exceptional stand in as a best friend to our large nine year old dog! She was attentive, communicative, thoughtful and engaged for the multiple days we were away. She shared photos and videos regularly and adhered perfectly to the “older dog” instructional needs. Extremely caring and a true dog person. We were in good hands and would absolutely use Christina in the future. Whole heartedly recommend!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Cold Spring Harbor

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of July 2026, there are 23,770 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Cold Spring Harbor. 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 Harbor 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 Harbor 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 Harbor with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cold Spring Harbor. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% 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.

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.
