“Cassandra was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process, I am the type of owner that gets very anxious to leave my pups and she eased my conscience being very communicative and sending lots of photos every day while I was gone for over a week. One of my dogs has severe anxiety and she handled him like a breeze - had him curled up in her lap within minutes! Even changed her schedule around a bit to better accommodate my pups and spend more time with them - absolutely wonderful energy and you will not be disappointed when booking with her!”
“Josh was amazing with my Gypsy. I have always left her with a family member but Josh is now my official pet setter. He is caring and treated my dog as his own. He stayed at my home and took care of it like it was his own. I would highly recommend him as a pet setter. He is five stars all the way.”
“Kalle was great!!! She was very thorough in her questions to make sure she understood my instruction s since this was her first time. She went above an beyond what was expected. My Cali was looking for her the day after I returned home.”
“Dustin was very prompt with communication and sent frequent pictures and videos of our pups on our trip. Our older dog can be stubborn and picky about taking her meds, and he was patient with her and able to get her to take her medications, so that really says a lot to us. We will be using Dustin’s services again for our next trip in October too.”
“Hannah was super sweet, and did a great job taking care of Sierra and the house. She asked lots of good questions during the meet and greet, and came by again to do a little practice walk so she’d feel equipped to work with Sierra’s reactivity issues. She was really good about staying in touch and communicating, and asked questions if she had them. She was great and will definitely be reaching out again!”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats for nearly my entire life. I understand that pets are part of the family, and your animal’s safety, comfort, and routine will always come first. I pride myself on my ability to follow any and all instructions or procedures necessary, and your pet will hardly notice that you aren’t at home! My schedule is very flexible, and I can be around as much or as little as your pets need me. I am available any day of the week! I treat everyone’s home and property as if it were my own. I realize that letting a stranger into your safe space is a huge deal, and I will always do everything in my power to make the experience easy on you. Enjoy your trip and let me handle the pets!
“Evan took great care of our 3 year old pointer while we were away for the weekend. He was very thoughtful about letting her get used to him and feel comfortable and made sure she had regular walks. Evan sent us plenty of updates and photos and he was very respectful of our house and left it spotless. We will definitely be booking Evan again and highly recommend him.”
“Kinan was amazing! I received daily updates with pictures that I so appreciated while I was out of town. He left my house cleaner than I left it! I will be rebooking Kinan again and again!”
About: Even though I currently do not own any pets, i’ve had many family pets since I was born. I’ve taken care of many dogs, including Maltese-Poodle mixes and Dachshunds. I also adore cats. I’m overall very clean when it comes to pet care and friendly with any pet. I carry good intentions when caring for your pet and advocate for animal welfare. I have a full time job Monday-Friday but am available in the early mornings or evenings for pet care such as walks or visits on weekdays. I am available on the weekends anytime, with at least a day notice for any services. I can handle small and medium dogs well, specifically for caging or fencing. I also am physically active for dog walks and restraints if needed.
About: We’re lifelong animal lovers with over 25 years of combined pet care experience. Between pet sitting, house sitting, volunteering with Res-Que animal rescue, caring for medical cases, training puppies, and raising our own two dogs, we’ll treat your pets like they’re part of our family. We both work for the Washoe County School District in a self-contained special education classroom. During the school year, we work Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and are available before and after work for pet care. We’re off every weekend, all major school breaks, holidays, and throughout the summer, allowing us to offer flexible scheduling and dedicate plenty of quality time, attention, exercise, and love to every pet in our care. Every pet is unique, so we tailor our care to their individual routine and needs. Whether in our home or yours, we’ll follow your feeding schedule, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. We strive to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress and help them feel safe and comfortable. We also provide regular photo updates and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have raised dogs from puppies into old age, and also taken care of other people's pets - overnight and for the day. I have a deep love for animals, and enjoy showing them warmth and a playful spirit. I work full-time, remotely - and my schedule can be very flexible. I am always able to make time for outdoor adventures, and can align easily with other routines. I do not currently have any pets in my home. Indoors, I have a large open area, as well as a large yard with grass - and I am near many parks and trails for outdoor time.

I have had 8 puppies in my care at a time as well if you need puppy care. I’m dedicated to providing loving and attentive care for your favorite family member. My schedule is very flexible so I am able to help at most times! I am in B2B sales and work remote. I can also run your dog if needed!

“Mira did a fantastic job of caring for my cat. She also kept me updated with pictures and videos . My house was in perfect order and the cat was well loved .”
About: My childhood was surrounded by dogs. When I was 12, I had to completely take care of 4 pit bulls, a Dotson, a mixed breed medium sized dog, and 3 cats. I have watched a few friends and family's pets over the years. Before I moved here, I actually helped my cousin take care of his senior husky with low energy that needed shots for a medical condition and a 2 year old German shepherd with all the energy in the world. My foster mom also bred pugs for a living, and have had to help the momma pug give birth while my foster parents were gone. I also have a 4 year old female Black Mouth Cur named Ava, that I have had since 6 months old, and a 2 year old male pitbull terrier rescue named Bosco, that I have had for a year and counting. He is full of fear and needs a lot of patience to work through it, but after 5 months of touch and go work, he now knows what play is and has his own toys! He also is scared to eat or seems to not know what his feeding bowl is, but after different ways to show that feeding time is okay, he is slowly gaining the weight he should be at! Treats were his sweet spot for knowing it is a safe place, and my sweet Ava sped the process for getting him comfortable in his new home and now commandeers my clothing to sleep with in his bed. Due to Bosco being a rescue and has become very protective is why I can't offer in home sitting in my home but am open to dog sitting at client's homes. I am currently a new stay at home mom. I take care of my two boys and my two fur babies. I am more than ready to help others with their fur babies. Due to behavior of one of my dogs, I would not be able to comfortably care for your fur babies in my own home, but I will do the utmost care for your fur babies in your home! Give me all the rules you need followed; Outside during certain times, feeding strategies, don't sit in a certain spot or area in the home. Nothing is too much to handle! I have even taken care of dogs with potty issues and needed baths for their health care and hygiene of your home.
“Janet was very attentive and thorough. She kept us updated with photos and messages throughout her stay. Our dog Hollie and birds were well taken care of. Janet walked our dogs more than we asked for so she went above and beyond her scope of work. We will definitely be booking her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 13 and now i’m 21! Spending time with animals is so fun for me:) I am home in Reno for the summer and looking to spend time with your pets! I’m free the whole summer besides a few trips but I would love to spend some time with your pets! I go back to school in late September, so as of right now this is a summer job for me:) I have 2 dogs of my own that will keep your pet company if needed. My house has a fenced in dog run specifically for going to the bathroom and a very calm neighborhood for walks! I have also been dog sitting for other families for a majority of my life.
“Niles took excellent care of our pets while we were away and they were all comfortable with him. Very respectful, courteous and couldn’t ask for more from a pet sitter. Will definitely use again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cold Springs
Maddie was so wonderful and went above and beyond with caring for my two dogs for 11 days. She took my 16 year-old dog who needs fluids every other day to the vet for fluid appointments. She spent a lot of time with the dogs in the home and also took great care of my house and watered the plants and kept the house so clean and picked up the yard from the dogs. She is very responsive and responsible and provided regular updates on the dogs. She did a great job following their routines and doing things just as instructed. Maddie met with me twice before pet sitting so that we could go over all the details and make sure she was prepared as we were going to be gone for a long trip. She is very much a dog person and understands their different personalities. I highly recommend Maddie!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cold Springs
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cold Springs on Rover is $62.06 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 666 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cold Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cold Springs walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cold Springs maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Springs 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.

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.
