“I exclusively use Teresa to watch my Wallace. She is perfect in every way. The house is always clean and in great condition. She brings Wallace toys and treats. Just overall perfect. THANK YOU as always!!”

“Kristen was so kind and took great care of my cats Jax and Boba. She did overnight stays with them that gave me such peace of mind and left my place just as I had left it - a fantastic house guest 🙂 I've already booked her again for a longer trip I have later in the year and has just been great about providing updates and prompt responses!”

About: Hi everyone! I’ve been pet-sitting since I was 15, and walking dogs since I was 10 years old. I have pet-sat a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and guinea pigs. I also have experience with any age or health status- senior dogs, kittens, medicated pets, etc. In general, I’ve experienced many different circumstances, so I can adjust easily. Animals have been a lifelong interest for me. I was the girl begging my parents for a dog, and I take care of my current roommate’s cat frequently while she’s away. I promise to nourish, entertain, and take care of your pet like they’re my own. I'm currently a college senior, though I only have on-campus classes twice a week. This means I can be present quite often for your pet. 4-6 hours or more between feeding/potty breaks is ideal for me. Besides that, I'm quite flexible. In my college house, we already have a cat, and my family back home has a dog; needless to say, I'm used to caring for pets in my free time. I can only pet-sit at the client's house. Due to my roommates and the cat we have, I'm unable to board a pet. I always keep a close eye on the pet's behavior and ensure they're fed on time every day. If they get into something, I'll clean them up no problem. I also have a list of emergency vets I'm prepared to go to if the client doesn't have a preferred vet of their own. However, my specific care of the pet(s) depends on the client's instructions and preferences.
“Our pugs loved hanging out with Leigh for the day. Leigh sent photos and updates throughout the day and was super flexible with time. Thanks Leigh! Looking forward to booking again.”

“Thomas was absolutely phenomenal! From the very beginning, he went above and beyond by making a couple of visits before our trip to learn our dogs' routines, medications, and schedules. That gave us tremendous peace of mind before we even left. While we were away, he took wonderful care of Todd and Louis and kept us updated with plenty of texts and photos. Seeing how happy and well cared for they were made it so much easier to relax and enjoy our trip. He also took excellent care of our home, even remembering to take the trash to the curb after I completely forgot. It was speaks to the level of care and attention he gives. Because Louis is elderly and Todd has had some recent health issues, we're especially careful about who cares for them. Thomas exceeded every expectation. Thomas exceeded every expectation and earned our complete trust. I wouldn't hesitate to have him stay with Todd and Louis again, and I recommend him without reservation.”

“Taryn was an absolute jewel. She treated my 3 girls as if they were her own & I appreciate so much all the extra love that she gave them. My house was clean on return from vaca & my fur babies were happy, so that's more then I can ask for. Thanks Taryn!”

“Gracen did an excellent job pet sitting at our home. Our senior pup and 3 senior kitties adore her. Gracen communicates often and provides great feedback complete with photos. Thank you Gracen. Knowing our pet family is so well cared for allows us to take time away without worry. Appreciate you!”


About: I have had cats, reptiles, dogs and fish my entire life! I have had big dogs, small dogs, kittens and geriatric animals. I currently have three dogs at home and two of them are seniors one is a little dog and one is a Rottweiler they they are on medication so I am extremely familiar with senior dog care. I currently care for one cat at home who is 2 and have three more back in Chicago two are kittens and one is 16 so also lots of experience with cats old and young. I was my neighborhoods pet sitter and have had experience with all animals! I have a cat that I care for everyday and I am very timely and consistent with care and feeding. He is extremely independent so that allows me a lot of time to take care of other animals which I am very familiar with when I go back to Chicago and seeing all my dogs and cats! I am super flexible and adaptable like I said I have dealt with all types of ages and breeds so I can handle a lot. I understand and respect boundaries with animals and will follow the owners instructions. I love playing with animals and going outside or to the park/beach so I am more than willing to do whatever is needed to provide the best and safest care.
About: Hi, I’m Julie and I am a Fear Free certified caregiver! I love being outside, so I'll be happy to take your best friend wherever they want to go on walks! I'm pretty flexible, so if your dog has any special needs, or if there's anywhere in particular you'd like your dog to visit, just let me know. Each confirmed booking comes with free photos of your fur baby while they are on their adventure!! I have three dogs of my own: Diesel, Callie and Benny. I have owned/been around animals my whole life, and have an extreme passion for animal care. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions! Thank you for trusting me with your fur-baby… I promise they are in good hands :) Currently available 24/7: Monday - Friday. 8:30am-6pm. Open to weekends! Holidays as well. Flexible schedule as of now: reach out! Open to all schedules & needs! I have a partially fenced in yard, as well as two dogs to keep your fur baby company! I also have two XL crates if needs for your baby!
“Amber was absolutely amazing. I truly can’t say enough good things about her! From the start, she was warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive. It was clear right away that she genuinely cared about making sure Reese was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. While we were away, Amber went above and beyond by sending daily updates, photos, and videos. Seeing Reese so relaxed and clearly living her best life gave us complete peace of mind. On top of that, Amber added thoughtful touches that really stood out. She even offered to water our plants, and we came home to a clean house and fresh flowers. That level of care and attention is rare and so appreciated. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book with Amber again. She exceeded every expectation, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”

About: Hi! We’re T.J. and Allie — lifelong dog lovers based in Seymour who truly treat our dogs like family. We currently share this Rover account, though most dog walking and drop-in visits will be handled by me, T.J. I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely consider them my favorite thing in the world. My wife and I don’t have kids, so our dogs are our kids — spoiled, loved, and cared for like family. We’re proud parents to three of the best boys ever: Ted, a 9-year-old Shih Tzu & Bichon Frise mix with the sweetest personality Banjo, a 12-year-old Sheltie mix who’s calm, loyal, and wise Otis, our newest addition — a 24-week-old Beagle & Jack Russell Terrier mix who is currently stealing our hearts (and socks) Because Otis is still very young, we are not offering boarding at this time while we focus on house training, routines, and helping him grow into a well-mannered pup. Once he’s fully trained and settled, we’ll happily open our home to boarding other dogs in the future. In the meantime, we’re excited to focus on dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting — which honestly lets us give dogs our full attention in the environment they’re most comfortable in: their own home. I absolutely love going on walks and genuinely look forward to taking dogs out, exploring their neighborhoods, and making sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. I’m very comfortable working with dogs on basic commands, leash manners, and obedience reinforcement, and I always follow the owner’s routines and preferences closely. You can expect plenty of updates, photos, and videos during every visit. I know how important peace of mind is when someone else is caring for your pride and joy, and I want you to see just how much fun your dog is having while you’re away. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, attentive, communicative, and genuinely excited to spend time with your dog — we’d love to help. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for walks and drop-in visits. Pet care is intentionally built into my schedule, and I plan my day around visits to ensure each dog gets focused, unrushed attention. On weekdays I'm typically available for afternoon (after 4pm) and evening visits depending on the day. I do not overbook, so your pet will receive consistent, reliable care — not a rushed check-in. On most weekends I am available and excited to help with your doggos however I can. Because I’m in and out throughout the day, I’m able to accommodate regular potty breaks, structured walks, playtime, and reinforcement of basic commands when requested. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely — including feeding schedules, crate preferences, medication needs, and exercise routines. I aim to keep their environment consistent so they feel safe and comfortable. Safety is always my priority. I double-check leashes, doors, and gates before and after every visit, and I remain attentive during walks to avoid unsafe situations. I use positive reinforcement, calm energy, and structured handling to ensure dogs feel secure and well-managed. Clear communication is important to me, and you’ll receive photo and video updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Olivia was great! She took excellent care of our pets and was very communicative throughout our trip. She was accommodating of their individual needs, and we came home to happy pets and a clean house. We'd definitely book with her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a huge animal lover, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve owned English Bulldogs for most of my life, so I’m very familiar with the breed and all of their funny little personalities.🤣 I also have experience with smaller animals like guinea pigs and absolutely love caring for pets beyond just cats and dogs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will always do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. 🐾❤️ Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a mom of two, a huge animal lover, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I work from home and run my own business, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and am usually available throughout the day and into the evening for drop-ins, walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention! I don’t currently offer overnight stays, but if you’re looking for someone who can stop by your home frequently throughout the day and evening while you’re away, I’d love to help! My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for- and that you can enjoy your time away without worrying about them. I care for your pets in their home where they feel most safe and comfortable, rather than in an unfamiliar area as I feel it makes it easier on them.
About: I love hanging out with animals, playing with them and loving on them! I dog sit and cat sit regularly throughout the week for friends, family and neighbors. I have multiple references if ever needed. I’ve done multiple overnight and week stays in clients houses. I’ve also done multiple drop ins for first time meet with the pet. I can give out medications and do shots if needed. I have Lupus, so hanging out with animals is very therapeutic to me. I have open availability, I can do overnights or weekends. Whatever you need me to do I’m available anytime to help out with your fur babies! I will first come in and get the animal warmed up to me, then take them outside. We will then go play or eat. I make sure your animals will be treated with love and respect. I also will make sure to clean up any mess that has been made.
About: Hi, I’m Cas – I'm here to keep your pets happy, healthy, and stress-free at home! I’ve worked in animal shelters and as a veterinary assistant, so I’ve had hands-on experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m familiar with canine & feline CPR and first aid, and I have extensive experience stabilizing critically ill and crashing animals. Whether your pet is perfectly healthy, managing a chronic condition, or just needs a little extra support, I’m confident and comfortable providing high-quality care. Some of the conditions I’ve worked with include diabetes (including insulin administration - and I'm a T1D myself, so you can trust that I truly understand the complicated ins & outs of diabetic care, hypo/hyperglycemia, and monitoring), kidney disease (including administration of subQ fluids), allergies (both skin-related and dietary), and senior pet care. I’m experienced with both oral and injectable medications, and I always prioritize a gentle, stress-free approach. I am a Fear-Free Certified professional, I prioritize minimizing stress for pets during interactions. I will work to make every experience as calm and comfortable as possible for your animal. When you entrust me with your animal companion's care, you can expect a reliable, gentle, and knowledgeable approach. I offer pet sitting in your home because I truly believe pets are happiest in the space they know best. I do my best to maintain their routines and provide comfort, enrichment, and calm companionship while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pet and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care naturally fits into my flexible schedule, which means I can fully adapt to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday playtime, or scheduled medications, I’m able to provide care that matches your animal companion's routine without conflicts or time constraints. The most comforting place for an animal is their own home, surrounded by familiar scents, sounds, and routines. That’s why I offer in-home pet sitting—so your animal companion can stay relaxed and happy in the space they know best. Whether it’s curling up in their favorite sunny spot or sticking to their usual feeding schedule, I make sure everything feels just right while you’re away. My goal is to provide gentle, attentive care that keeps your animal comfortable and your mind at ease.
About: I’m a caring and dependable pet lover who understands how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and love giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I work during the week 8-4:30p and am pretty open on the weekends! I am able to accept clients during the week if early morning and late evening work! I prefer pet sitting at the clients home due to I have 2 cats and live in an apartment. The space would be too small.
“Lucy has taken care of my fur babies a couple times now. She always takes really good care of them. She checks in with me to let me know how they are doing while I am gone and is very responsive to messages. Gracee and Cooper enjoy her when she is sitting with them!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 641 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 , 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.
