“Sydney was very flexible with our last minute need for a house sitter. She left the house better than when she arrived, was always available for communication, and treated our home and pets as if they were her own. We will absolutely use her again for future needs!”
About: Ive worked at a pet resort for past two years providing doggy daycare and kennel care to boarders. I did dog walking and enrichment at the humane society. Spent most of my time there caring for elder dogs and ones without company. Ive also fostered elder dogs and puppies. At home in Florida I also own two dogs a 2 year old golden doodle and a 16 year old boxer. I am free every morning and evening throughout the week. I have class Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12-3 and Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:30-1:30. I have practices for an two at night usually 5:30-7:30. I am free any other time though. Im usually a very active person so I will make sure your dog is getting lots of care and activity. This will depend on the service. If you are boarding your pet will stay in my home and be nicely taken care of and fed at appropriate feeding schedules. I am very loving on all dogs and great at building their trust. Daycare the dog would stay during the day and experience a lot of energy relief allowed to bring siblings with. Dog walking again giving great exercise and gets nice stops with lot of loving.
“Rocio has been so amazing! Rocio was absolutely incredible with my dogs! She kept me updated with photos and messages throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I would definitely book with Rocio again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!”
“Christina did a great job taking care of our sweet Molly!! We enjoyed hearing update on her. I would Definitely give her five stars, and will definitely use her services again!! Thank you Christina!!! Julie”
“We truly could not ask for a better sitter. She takes such incredible care of our dogs and treats them like they are her own. She takes them on car rides, spends quality time with them, and genuinely loves on them the entire stay. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing they are not just being “watched,” but truly cared for. She sends frequent pictures and updates, which we absolutely love, and she is always very communicative and responsive. We never have to wonder how things are going. We are so grateful we found her and feel so lucky to have someone we trust completely with our girls. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾”
“Lauren is awesome! I had no worries about the care of Benny and Sox. She's a very capable and calming factor to my 2 high energy kids. She is my go to sitter going forward.”
“Meghan provided great care for our 2 year-old pup while we were away! We knew our dog was in loving hands and really appreciated Meghan's great communication and photos to give us updates throughout the weekend. We came back to a clean home and a happy Poppy. Would recommend Meghan for sure!”
“Abbey was wonderful and did a great job caring for our 3 dogs! She updated us with lots of pictures and kept us informed while we were gone. We would definitely use Abbey again in the future!”
About: Ever since I was a child I have always managed to keep a pet in the house wether my parents liked it or not! I have taken care of many dogs in my life time, wether it be bathing, walking or simply feeding them. My love for animals is very prominent to me and others and will never die! I am a 3rd year college student at UNCG! During the week I am pretty busy , with maybe some room to squeeze in on Tuesday and Thursdays. But on the weekend I am all yours! Friday-Sunday. I have a nice sized backyard that my 4 year old miniature schnauzer loves. He gets along with other dogs well, he mostly likes to keep to himself unless your fur baby is up and ready for some fun!
About: This isn’t just a job for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I find joy in every walk, cuddle, and tail wag, and that passion shows in the way I care for each dog. I’m currently a college student who enjoys pet care is part of my everyday routine. I make time for walks, feeding, and play to keep pets happy and comfortable. - Caring for pets in clients home, I will follow the pet’s normal routine with feeding, walks, play, and potty breaks to keep them comfortable in their own space. - Caring for pets in my home, I will provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and attention. - Caring for pets during drop in visit, I will make sure they feel safe and trusted by me :) but I’ll also make sure to provide fresh food and water, clean up when needed, and spend quality time playing or giving them attention so they don’t feel alone.
About: I grew up raising all different types of animals (birds, rabbits, dogs, lizards) and consider my pets my family. I have about 5 years of paid experience caring for pets and I have a cat of my own. :) I'm currently working from home and I have much free time during the day to make drop in visits or stay for a few hours/overnight as needed. You can ensure that your pets will be treated with the utmost care and looked after for as I would look after my own pets. :)

I will always take your pets safety seriously, I am trustworthy, responsible and can provide the best care around! I will treat your pets as if their my own
About: I started off pet sitting small I had two regular customers. I would watch two cats for one and a dog for another. I have always owned a dog or cat. And would watch close friends and families pets. Then took the leap of faith and start with Rover. I do take same day bookings as long as I'm not full. I do stay busy have a few repeat clients already. I will work with you 100% and communicate 100%. Being reliable is key and communication is key. Daily routine for dogs or cats that are being boarded. Cats will always be in a safe designated area away from dogs if they are boarded. They get fed in the morning and evening normally 8am and 5pm or whatever the client wants. They go potty really early and throughout the day and their last potty break is normally around 10-11pm. They pretty much do whatever and just have a great time playing with other pets and making them feel at home. They are allowed on beds and furniture. You will always get updates daily and pictures. They will go on walks also. Now in home visits is whatever you as the client wants. I leave it up to you. Normally they get spoiled and loved on and go outside fed whatever you need. They also get very spoiled and pampered while being boarded. Safety and cleanliness is my top priority. I slowly and monitor every dogs behavior that is staying just to make sure they all get along. I always feed each dog separately as some are food aggressive. Your dogs bowls get clean after each meal and sent home clean. Floors get sanitized each day and vacuumed. Their dog toys, blankets and dog beds get washed before they leave so they are nice and clean. Dog poop gets picked up out of the yard daily. I do have indoor and outdoor cameras to monitor the dogs if gone.
“Alicia was amazing with both of our dogs. They can be a bit intimidating when you first meet them but she did very well introducing herself to them. They had a great time with her. She sent lots of pictures and videos of the dogs. I would highly recommend Alicia to anyone that needs a sitter.”
“Davelle is a great sitter! He made sure my dog was properly taken care of and kept me updated daily on her schedule and sent pictures as well. What made me pick him was just how quickly and easily my dog was able to relax around him. I would definitely want to use his services again and would recommend him to others as well!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 760 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cotton Grove. 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 Grove 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 Grove 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 Grove 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.
