“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.”
“Cassandra was full of energy, attention to detail, and care. We were thrilled to have her dog sit--and our dog, Sky, certainly was as well. We definitely enjoyed working with Cassandra!”
“I would give Terika and Dylan 10 stars if it were an option. They were outstanding! I have two large dogs that are not always friendly. They both loved Terika and Dylan right away. Several hours after I left for my trip, my house had to be evacuated due to a large, fast moving wildfire. Terika and Dylan took my dogs to their house, but it was evacuated a few hours later. They moved with the dogs a second time and were out of the houses for a few days. They were excellent at keeping me updated as to how everyone was doing during this stressful time. When I returned home, everyone was safe and happy. I would highly recommend Terika and Dylan to anyone looking for house sitters. They will take loving care of your fur babies.”
“Cindy spent time walking & giving lots of affection to our furkids. Cindy also changed our girl's foot bandage as needed & even made sure her PT exercises & red light therapy were done each day. Cindy is dependable & responsible. I would absolutely recommend her to take care of your furkids.”
“Laney was wonderful. She took great care of our pups, sent pictures every day and left the house spotless. We look forward to a long puppy care relationship with her. :). Thank you Laney!”
About: I have experience with animals my whole life and even more after doing rover for 2 years now. I treat all animals as if they are my own! I work full time away from home but my bf Riley works from home. I would be the primary caretaker Wednesdays- Saturdays but other days it would be my bf watching the dogs at home until I get home. We are an active family and would love to take your fur babies on adventures with us if that's something you'd like! NOTE: Any daycare request that is over 9 hours will be an extra $5 Pick ups or drop offs after 9PM will be an extra $5 *House sitting price will vary depending on the situation/distance *We only watch pups together that we know will get along and usually no more than a couple at a time. We have a fully fenced yard and a dog door so you're pup could have access to outside all day. We have space for crates if you need your dog to sleep in a crate at night, otherwise they are free to sleep wherever they are comfortable! My cat is an indoor/outdoor cat so she has free roam therefore all dogs must be respectful of cats. She does like to play but not roughly chased. I will take lots of photos of your pup during their stay as well!
“I just wanted to express my gratitude to Ruby for doing such a fantastic job looking after my baby. We were away for three nights, and Ruby stayed in constant communication throughout. As someone who travels frequently, I am relieved to have found someone trustworthy to take care of my dog while I'm away. I highly recommend Ruby's services and will definitely be using them again in the future.”
“Aanakin was wonderful with Topi! I could tell Topi was really well cared for and felt completely comfortable with her while I was away, which gave me so much peace of mind. Aanakin was kind, reliable, and took great care of my girl. It means a lot to be able to leave Topi with someone I trust and know she’s in good hands. I would absolutely recommend Aanakin and would happily have her watch Topi again! ❤️”
About: I’m a professional behaviorist and trainer with hands-on experience in boarding, daycare, house sitting, walking, and working with dogs facing behavioral challenges such as fear or aggression. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life—I’ve owned a pack of three since I was nine—so I’m very comfortable in busy, energetic households and with dogs of all temperaments. I recently moved to the area and am currently focused on building my clientele, getting to know the community, and offering support wherever it’s needed as I continue to grow my presence here. Many of my friends and clients rely on me for trustworthy care when they’re out of town, or when they need guidance and support with their dogs. I also recently launched my own training business, Simple K-9, where I offer private in-home sessions, outdoor excursions, and more. I’m currently building my client base for my training business, so while I may have private sessions or excursion days scheduled, my availability is fairly flexible and I’m happy to adjust as needed! Unfortunately, I’m unable to host client dogs in my home due to HOA restrictions. However, I have extensive experience handling dogs in a variety of environments, including outdoor settings and in the comfort of their own homes. I drive a Jeep that comfortably accommodates at least two large dogs and one small dog, and safety is always my top priority. I’m committed to ensuring your pet is cared for with attention, patience, and a focus on their well-being. I would never put a dog in a situation that could lead to fear or failure. If we were to encounter any unexpected challenges, I’m fully confident in my ability to manage the situation calmly and professionally, ensuring a positive and safe outcome.
“Locke did great with communication and pictures. Very kind and I could tell chop was very happy. I will definitely be using his services again in the future.”
About: I own a car and clean record with driver's license so I can transport dogs to and from parks, or wherever the job takes me. My communication skills are seasoned with both humans and dogs. I do not shy away from reaching out to owners if there is an issue. I believe every dog deserves a pleasant time while their owners are away. This is my commitment to you. I’m opposed to all forms of bigotry and prejudice, and I treat everyone with equal fairness. Thanks for reaching out for a meet and greet; if you choose to do so there will be no pressure to accept the booking. Generally I am up and I am able to start at 6:30am daily. I can generally keep your pet until later into the evening and overnight. Before our first sit, we can do an introduction to establish your pet's comfort zone. Are they high energy? That's good! I like showing pets affection, especially if they're anxious. They can often really use a run, walk, or visit to the dog park, and getting outside is something I enjoy doing with dogs. As a sitter, I see and interpret subtle body language cues that mean "I need space" vs. "I want a quick head scratch". A typical day under my care is predictable, peaceful, and entirely low stress: Feeding, water refreshes, and calm, low-energy relief walks. I speak in a soft voice. I cohabitate quietly. If your pet chooses to sleep under my desk or across the room, I let them be. If they approach for attention, I offer gentle, calm affection. I send one or two brief text updates a day to confirm all is well. While I practice a "light touch" approach, I am highly vigilant. I will reach out if they stop drinking water or eating when they should be, taking issues like this very seriously. Signs of physical distress (pacing, heavy panting, whining, or lethargy). Changes in bathroom habits. Your pet's health is my number one priority. My place will be ready for your loved one: I pet-proof my home room-by-room, anticipating jumping, digging, scratching, chewing, or trash-rummaging, while inspecting my space from a pet's eye level. I maintain eyes on, supervise all toy playtime to prevent swallowing broken pieces. I use a gate to block access to stairs, allowing them to come upstairs when I am going upstairs.
“Keleigh was great! She embraced my challenging blue healer and they ended up really hitting it off. She stayed at my house which was a huge help and even helped coordinate with my cleaners. I will definitely be booking her to help us in the future.”
“Niles is AMAZING! We have a nervous chihuahua that never calms but Niles was able to get him to settle so well! We had a great experience and have already booked for another house sitting! I felt so much better this vacation knowing Niles was with my boys!”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for the past 4 years I have 2 frenchies . I am very organized and can handle high maintenance doggies. I have also been caring for Rover dogs for almost a year, and it has been a very rewarding experience for both me and my two Frenchies. Through doggy daycare and boarding, they’ve made many wonderful dog friends along the way. I work from home Monday to Friday and have weekends off. So I am available for all day dog care. More details in my calendar. I have a fully fenced yard with multiple designated sections, allowing dogs to go outside safely either together or separately when needed. This setup helps ensure a secure and comfortable environment for dogs who may not get along with others. I am Happy to provide picture updates upon request 😊
About: I have owned and trained dogs of all ages. I currently have a 5 yr old purebred yellow lab who is a service dog. I have experience with behavior challenges and dogs with medical needs. I am dedicated and committed to caring for your pet as an extension of you. Our dog is with us almost 20+ hours a day so close to around the clock companionship and oversight will be provided. I have a fenced yard as well as a doggie door. Your fur baby will have everything he/she needs to be happy and loved. Consider it a doggy vacation resort.
“Reese did absolutely amazing with my 2 month old belgian malinois puppy and my 4 month old kitten. She was very attentive with my puppy’s sleep schedule and her specific food needs. She made sure to play with her and give her lots of love, time, and affection. I will be rebooking with her many times in the foreseeable future! Couldn’t recommend enough!”

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 , 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 .
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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
