“Ryan and Rebekah were awesome! My dogs loved them. They treated my dogs like their own, with lots of love, attention, and playtime. I loved getting pictures everyday. If you need a sitter I’d definitely recommend them!”
“Mallory did a great job of watching our dog Cooper. She and Emily were very responsive to any messages, very professional with the set up of the services and we were very stress free leaving the dog with them. Will absolutely be booking again in the future.”
“Lacey and her family watched my home and two dogs for a full week while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! They took great care of our house and left it super clean, sent pictures of my fur babies every day, and were very quick and easy to communicate with. 10/10 recommend, will definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“Ann took great care of our dogs while we were away. It was much less stressful for them to be able to stay home and have someone come to them, as opposed to going to someone else's house. The dogs just loved her right away and we knew they'd be in great hands.”
“Wendee did a great job with our 3 dogs & a cat over Christmas. She had to get them through severe weather for 2 days & they were as happy as could be when we returned. She communicated well with me & we hope to use her again.”
About: In my adult life I’ve boarded five dogs and up to three at one time. These dogs range in size from a goldendoodle to a shihtzu. I spend all day at home almost every day. This allows me to give dedicated and attentive care to the animals I care for. If you have a needy, clingy baby I can provide lots of snuggles! One of the dogs I’ve watched before was a senior which called for lots of diaper changes and patience. For the time being I am only providing services at your home. I am home all day almost every day, so I can be 100% dedicated to providing care. I can accommodate my day to your pup’s schedule! I have experience in both boarding and house sitting. I spend a lot of time lounging inside and outside. I enjoy the company of animals so I take them with me wherever I go! I sleep with the animals I watch (where appropriate). I can take your pet on short walks.
“Hailley watched our cat and dog for about 10 days. She communicated frequently with us during our trip and even sent photos. Our dog got a tummy bug and she went out to get chicken and made her rice and chicken. The animals seemed happy upon our return, the house and animals were clearly well taken care of.”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs since I was a child! My husband and I have a rescue German Shepherd, his name is Kiba. He is 3. We have 3 kids. I have a dog and a cat! So taking care of animals is a part of my regular routine. But I'm also a stay-at-home-mom of 3 kids. So I'm home a lot and have the time! I've worked in many people's homes in the past, not with animals, and I'm very respectful of peoples spaces. I'm there to do a job and love your animal while you're busy! The same in my home, they'll be there to be loved when you can't!
About: I have had dogs my entire life. My family dogs were small breed and now I have 2 large breeds and a cat. My dogs are both senior dogs and one gets medications twice daily. Nothing makes me feel better than seeing happy ears and happy tails. I’m here for the ones that just need company or the ones who need a break from being inside. I’m currently not working and I am studying for exams so I have open availability for the time being. I’m open to early mornings or late nights. Pets are their own individual beings and it’s important to care for each as they need and not fall into the collective mindset. I gain clues from being with the animal and always start slow and cautious to gain their trust. I always make sure pets are cared for, clean, and happy as can be.
About: I have been with animals my whole life. Though not certified, I have trained dogs to heard cows. I’ve also helped them with extreme behavioral issues. I love understanding a dog’s body language. To out it simply I know how to act around most dogs. I have also helped my family take care of puppies! I work a job at a day care center Monday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. I am able to let dogs out for a quick potty break around 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM. I may leave for an hour or two during the weekend to meet up with my family, but never more than that if I am house sitting. I do my best to not only respect and love the animals of the home, but also your home itself. I will do my best to keep everything clean and leave it the way I found it. I am more than happy to meet an odd or long requests and instructions if they are written down for me!
About: I have been around animals my entire life. I have had mostly dogs. My kids are also very animal oriented. I have cared for praying mantis, hermit crabs, tortoises, cocktail, hamsters, cats, dogs, bunny. These are most of the pets I have cared for. Walking them, helping groom them feeding them and spending time with them. I have trained both my cat and my dog many commands. They both know sit, speak, the dog knows shake and can switch, the cat is learning. I just enjoy being around animals. If I could I would have many more, but that is why I am here, so I can visit with other animals. I am currently not working and just enjoy spreading time with my older kids and my pets. I have time on my hands and want to be with animals so I am doing this and lining into volunteer opportunities with the local shelters Right now because I have pets at home I would be willing to come to your home and take care of your animals. When my husband is home i would be willing to do overnights if needed

About: I am a huge animal lover!! My family has always had dogs growing up and now that I live on my own I have the cutest cat! I have a ton of experience taking care of both. We have a house with a huge backyard and we are close to the river for walks! I am also happy to come check on your cat in your home while you are out of town to make sure they are getting loves, food and water. I know how precious your babies are to you so I will treat them as if they were my own! I currently work 8am-5pm M-F. I can do boarding on weekends. I can check on your babies before work, after work or on my lunch break as well! I want to make them feel loved and cared for. I can play with them, take them on walks, get them food and water, clean their poop or litter, whatever you need!
“Robin is the BEST EVER! My dogs absolutely loved having her take care of them while we went out of town. She sent so many pictures and videos of them enjoying themselves. I will 1000% use Robin in the future :)”
About: I have 2 dogs. 1 is in her senior age and I have been taking care of pets sense I was 8! (Including puppies!) I can give medication to dogs and help puppies learn how to use stairs, the backyard as a potty place, and help ween them off wet foods. I'm currently finishing up school and I needed a job but it's hard to have a job in a regular restaurant because it doesn't leave time for home work. This job will allow me to make money and still finish school. I treat them as I would my own pets. With respect and makeing sure they get what they need. I make sure they have food and water, havent gone potty on the floor, take them out side, and make sure if they need meds that they get it. I also play with them and make sure there happy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cotton
Rebekah & Ryan were great! Upon meeting them at our meet & greet we felt totally comfortable leaving them with our 2 dogs! They watched our dogs in our house overnight. They sent us photos of our dogs. Our dogs looked like their happy selves! When we returned home, our home looked just as we had left it! Communication was great with Rebekah & Ryan! We're so happy that we've found them & well use them again in the future!
Jessiny was fantastic with my animals! She kept them happy and I have a very needy toy Aussie that gets depressed when we leave and she kept her happy by throwing her ball for her everyday. She also gave my cat his antibiotics and his eye drops morning and night! She kept the house clean and tidy! She sent pics through out each day also. We’re so grateful for her and will definitely be using her for future vacations!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 113 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cotton. 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 Cotton 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 Cotton 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 Cotton 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
