“JuliAnne was wonderful! I would recommend her and hire her again and again. My little Maltese, Remy loved her. She was kind, caring and very communicative. She is also very friendly and easy to work with. Thank you JuliAnne! Remy was extremely cared for.”
“Ion was prompt and attentive to detail. He stayed with our Lou and made sure he received lots of attention and his walks. He is polite and friendly and left our house clean. We were very happy with the care Ion gave Louie and will definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone.”
“Erica took good care of Thor and was respectful of our home. She was very communicative and shared pictures of Thor on a daily basis. We would definitely like Erica to stay with Thor again.”
“We were out of the country for a week. I got daily photos and updates on my pups. They seemed very happy and well taken care of. Our terrier Baxter takes a bit to warm up to strangers but he was cuddled up to Christie by that evening. Our house was left clean and orderly. I will definitely use her again!”
“Loren was great with Moose! She was very communicative and friendly. She sent plenty of check-in messages and pictures for us - reassuring us that Moose was well taken care of and happy. We hadn't had a reliable pet sitter in the past for years and now know that we can trust Loren for our next trip!”
“Sonja is incredible at what she does!…. She dropped in on my 2 x kittens and sent me so many pictures and made fortresses for them!. They were so happy when I got home. Sonja came last minute and she always put my mind at ease. I will use her now permanently and I can’t reccomend her high enough”
“Brianna and Sam were awesome! They provided detailed updates and lots of pictures. They gave Atlas lots of attention, walks, and play time. Atlas seemed healthy and happy when we arrived home, and the house was clean. We will definitely book them again!”
“Morgan was amazing - daily updates and pictures - arrived to a clean home - and most importantly, my dog was happy and well exercised when I got home! I will definitely use Morgan again! She even sent me pictures of my flowers that bloomed while I was away!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Polina! From the initial meet & greet, we felt completely at ease leaving Scoot and Maisie in her care. She took amazing care of our dogs, keeping up with their exercise and routines perfectly, and it was clear the pups felt loved. Her daily photos and updates made our trip relaxing because we knew our fur babies were being well cared for! Not only is she great with dogs, but she’s also a considerate house guest—we came home to a clean house and relaxed pups. She even went above and beyond by staying extra time when we ran late. Five stars isn't enough!”
“Ted loved her and her family right away and was excited to go back for his first stay after their meetup! She was so sweet with him and sent me photos and updates!”
“Brianna was great. We have a new dog - 7 months and the extra time she took to be constituent with him was amazing. It’s nice to travel and not worry about your home or your pets. We’d definitely use her again. We got daily updates and pictures. The house was pretty much as we left it. We hope she’s want to help us again in the e future!”
“Monique was absolutely amazing. We have been using ROVER for 12 years and she is by far the most thorough and caring sitter we have had. The house looked better than when we left it and the dogs are happy and tired after her stay! We are so lucky to have found Monique and will keep using her services as long as we can! I’d give 10 ⭐️ if I could!”
About: Hi! I’m so glad you’re here. If you’re looking for a calm, loving home where your small dog will receive lots of personal attention, you’ve found the right place - Aunt Katie's house! I specialize in home-based daycare for small dogs, with a maximum of only four guests at a time. Keeping my group small allows giving every dog the individual care, supervision, and affection they deserve and clients appreciate. I've cared for dogs for many years and truly enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality. I'll tailor your dog's day to them, whether they are playful, shy, snuggly, or a champion napper. Your pup will spend the day enjoying a secure, spacious fenced yard, supervised indoor and outdoor playtime, comfy beds for afternoon naps, and plenty of toys to keep them happy and engaged. During the warmer months, they can splash around in the doggie splash pad and mini pool for extra fun! WHAT MAKES AUNT KATIE'S DOGGIE DAYCARE DIFFERENT? 🐾 Maximum of only 4 small dogs for a peaceful, low-stress environment (large, multi-dog facilities are not for all paws) 🐾 Safe, secure fenced yard with room to explore and play 🐾 Doggie splash pad & mini pool (weather permitting) 🐾 Indoor and outdoor toys 🐾 Soft beds for relaxing naps 🐾 Personalized attention and supervised play 🐾 Lots of cuddles, praise, and love 🐾 Pet Parent approved treats 🐾 Medication administration and most special requests included at no additional charge 🐾 Free belly rubs In-home doggie daycare is my business. My goal is for every dog to leave happy, relaxed, and excited to come back. I treat every guest like one of my own family members and can’t wait to welcome your best friend into my home. HOURS Monday–Friday 7:00 AM – 7:00 PM Weekends & Holidays Please inquire. 🐾 I have a large, secure fenced yard with a solid 6' high fence and gate lock (so it can't be opened from the outside) 🐾 I have 1 small, friendly dog named Moose who will welcome your pup 🐾 Safety Is My Top Priority - I believe dogs are happiest when they can safely enjoy a structured day at home. For that reason, I do not take daycare dogs on walks away from my property. All playtime and exercise take place inside my home and backyard. This reduces the risk of injuries, lost dogs, and unexpected encounters while still giving everyone plenty of exercise and enrichment.
“Thank you Tom for watching the pup! Tom did a great job of sending reports and pictures. Will book again with Tom. I do recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter! Wholesome guy”
“Susan was great to work with, very friendly and responsive.she took very good care of our car and home while we were traveling. I really appreciated the daily picture updates. She left our house in impeccable order. Would absolutely recommend Susan!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Cottonwood is $55

Erica pet sat our pup Millie. If I could give 10 STARS, I would! I could tell within the first 10 minutes of meeting Erica that she is truly is a pet lover and thoroughly enjoys caring for our furry friends. Millie has severe separation anxiety and was very comfortable with Erica. Will definitely book with Erica again!
Hannah was absolutely wonderful with our dogs and cats! They all loved her, and it was clear from the start that she genuinely loves animals. She kept us updated throughout her stay, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pets were in such caring hands. We would highly recommend Hannah and will definitely book her again!
Ashley was absolutely wonderful with our dog! ❤️ We felt completely comfortable having her stay at our home and care for our dog while we were away. She was so loving, attentive, responsible, and thoughtful. She made sure our dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for, while also keeping us updated so we never had to worry. Knowing our dog could stay in the comfort of her own home with someone as caring as Ashley gave us such peace of mind. Thank you so much, Ashley, for taking such amazing care of our girl. We truly appreciate you and would absolutely trust you with her again. We highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter!
Calli has stayed with our 2 dogs and 1 cat a few a times now. Our girls are always happy when we get home and it’s clear they’ve been well cared for. Calli is communicative and thorough about their care, and she always leaves our home spotless. We’re so grateful to have found her!
Monique is 11/10 - she was so thoughtful and kind to our kitties, and incredibly thorough in her after-sit notes which we absolutely loved reading! Our house was so clean like nobody was here in the first place, it made coming home feel way less stressful. Most importantly our girls loved her, even our shy kitty 🖤 Monique thank you SO much for being amazing, and treating our girls just how we would. You are literally THE BEST 🖤
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. :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Cottonwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cottonwood on Rover is $48.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 7,753 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
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
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.
