“Bella watched my dog for 4 nights while I was out of town last week. She was great, gave me updates and pictures every day and if I had any questions, she would respond right away. I highly recommend her!”
“We are so thankful Loren was available to watch our dog while we were out of town for the weekend! She was great at responding and sending us pictures/videos during her time watching her. Would recommend hiring Loren and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“I know I can always count on Nikki to take extra special care of Reggie. Her updates are thorough with plenty of photos. Reggie loves the walks and the cuddles and is stress free when I get home which means the world to me. Thank you so much!! Patti”
“Jonathan was great! On time, reliable and concerned about my pets. He did a great job administering medications for one dog and extra TLC for my other geriatric dog. I’m a happy first time Rover.com user.”
“Polina did a wonderful job watching our high energy boxer pup while we were out of town. She was very considerate of how we trained him and used the commands he knows. She took care of our house while we were away and we won’t hesitate to call Polina again for future sittings! Thanks Polina!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Brice. My husband and I had to travel to see my father as he’s in hospice and she made us feel so comfortable knowing our two girls were well taken care of. I would recommend Brice over and over, you will find no one better.”
“Stephany did a great job watching our dog, Laila, while we traveled home for the holidays. We just moved here so it was important to us to have someone stay with her while she was still adjusting to the new apartment. Stephany was very responsive, flexible, and communicative when caring for Laila. Stephany followed our care instructions and sent us plenty of updates and photos throughout her sitting. It was just what we needed to so we wouldn’t have to worry and we could enjoy our time with our family!”
“Isabella was amazing. She was so king and sweet to both our dogs. She was timely, respectful, and gave us the most detailed updates. We know she was paying close attention as she included niche things our dogs do that we didn’t mention beforehand. We had a great experience with her.”
“Ashley was so great with my dog. She is very attentive and great with communication! I felt like my dog would be disappointed when we returned from our trip because he got so much more love and attention with Ashley 😆”
“Hannah stayed with our dogs while we went on a trip and took amazing care of our dogs & home. She sent loads of pictures which I super appreciated. Also very impressed she can walk all three of my dogs together.”
“Lindsay stayed at the house with our three dogs while we were out of town. She was a great house/dogsitter and we would happily use her again! The house was spotless when we returned and the dogs were very relaxed.”
“Taylor was an awesome dogsitter - we would hire her again in a heartbeat! We were nervous about leaving our 3-year-old german shepherd because she has a heart arrhythmia and requires medication 4 times a day. Taylor was so on top of her medication schedule and communicated with us each time she gave a pill. We were able to enjoy our vacation without any worry. She took great care of our pup with walks & backyard play and cuddles - we came home to a very happy girl. I would definitely recommend hiring Taylor to care for your furry family members!”
“JuliAnne was great!!! She was communicative and helped us feel comfortable about leaving our “super senior” dog Hank. We hired her to clean our house too on the last day, which was so nice!!! Thank you, Julie. We will definitely be booking you again. :)”
“Isaiah house sat for our 2 older dogs. His communication was great and did well with dogs. Gentle manner and seems to really like dogs. Came for a free meet and greet with them prior to dog sitting. He even sent pictures of the dogs, which helps when we’re away from them. He also gave the medicine to the dogs just fine, which was really important. We plan to use him again.”
“Ion was wonderful with Nora. She got loads of attention. She was very well cared for. Ion sent regular pictures and updates, so we had no worries. We would 100 % recommend him and will definitely use him again. Our home was left spotless. A++.”
“Elisabeth was an awesome sitter for Murphy. He loved all the extra attention he received. Elisabeth was easy to work with and followed all the instructions for the house and Murphy’s care. I highly recommend her and would book with her again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Cottonwood is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cottonwood
Bryce is absolutely remarkable! Our 2 dogs loved her, and she took excellent care of them. She stayed in our house during our absence and left the place absolutely clean. One had to really look to see any evidence of her even using the place. Her medical skills make her an invaluable choice for pet sitting. Too bad there aren't 6 stars I could award her.
Isabella is my go-to kitty-sitter. I completely trust her with my 2 cats. Even my ultra-shy guy has decided she’s alright - she’s wooed him into trusting her. Which is nearly unheard of, for him. She went above and beyond for me this last trip when my apartment maintenance team decided to replace my fridge on her first evening here. She was so helpful and laid-back about it, even though I’m pretty sure she ended up doing most of the work to get the old fridge cleared out, magnets taken off, etc. Highly, highly recommend her. Just don’t take her away from me when I need her next in the fall! Ha. :)
Everything went great! Excellent communication, showed up on time, sent pics and videos of our dogs, was very accommodating and flexible about our schedule. Could not have asked more. Would highly recommend Monique and will definitely use her again if/when we return to Denver.
Rebecca is the most wonderful pet sitter ever. The care, the follow up, the kindness and professionalism are what makes Rebecca so great. We have a testy Chihuahua and a needy Dalmatian that Rebecca won over. We will reserve her for our next trip. We will highly recommend Rebecca to all of our friends and family.
We had a great experience with Tom! He stayed at our house for a week to watch our two dogs and took excellent care of them. He kept us updated with photos, reached out whenever he needed, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. You can tell that he really enjoys being around dogs. We came home to two happy pups and a well-cared-for home. We’d definitely recommend him and would happily have him pet sit for us again.
Becca was amazing! We have three dogs who can be a little crazy and reactive but she had no issues with their issues. She let me know when there was minor issues with their meds due to them being picky and was able to course correct and find solutions. Would 100% book again!
Isaiah house sat for our 2 older dogs. His communication was great and did well with dogs. Gentle manner and seems to really like dogs. Came for a free meet and greet with them prior to dog sitting.

Taylor was amazing with our senior pup! She made sure our girl was cool enough with this summer heat and gave her lots of love! She sent us the cutest videos and pictures while we were away for a long trip and provided peace of mind so we could enjoy our vacation. We are so thankful we found Taylor and will be booking again!
Vacations are expensive, but the feeling of knowing your dogs are being taken care of while you're away? PRICELESS! And that's exactly how I'd describe the care that Brianna and Sam gave our puppers for a week. Not only did we get pup-dates every day, but we also came home to a spotless home, packages we'd gotten while we were gone on our table and they even took our trash can up and refilled the dog food when it got low. I'm a helicopter dog mom, and the thought of leaving them usually fills me with anxiety. Now that I've found Brianna and Sam, I don't have anxiety any more! Thank you for being the best dogsitters ever!
Jackie was fantastic! We had issues with our flight and she was immediately willing to stay longer to make sure our corgi didn’t have to spend too long alone. She sent plenty of super cute pictures and updates, kept our house clean, and our dog still can’t stop talking about how much fun he had with her. Thank you so much Jackie and we will definitely use you again!!
Ciara was an incredibly attentive sitter for our geriatric chihuahua and looney attention-demanding cattle dog mix! This was our longest trip in years and I had anxiety using a new sitter for the first time in about 6 years…but I had no reason to be because she is soooo good! She let us know of a health concern she noted (we worked through that over text and our little bubba is doing great) and had such a sense of humor about our dogs’ quirks. We got texts with pictures times a day, and she even texted with me prior to the visit with very quick responses, and was willing to come do a second meet and greet with a new puppy before her stay. I would absolutely book again with Ciara. She is a great find.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cottonwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cottonwood on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,759 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cottonwood. 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 Cottonwood 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 Cottonwood 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 Cottonwood 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
