“Loren is the absolute sweetest!! She took great care of all 5 of our furbabies and home. We got so many photo updates and everyone seemed so happy and content which was such a treat since our big boy is normally very stressy when we are gone. She will be our go to from now on!”
“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”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we feel lucky to have found Stephany! She sent us thorough daily updates and photos of our boy living his best dog life. This gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our trip. Stephany was also respectful of our home and left it as she found it. We highly recommend Stephany and will definitely book with her again!”
“Nikki was so caring and attentive to our pets! We have quite the busy household with two dogs - one senior who recently went blind - and two cats. I was already nervous to leave my senior dog prior to him being blind and this was the first time I left him in someone else's care since losing his vision. Nikki was AMAZING with him. She gave him lots of love and kept him safe and content! All four of our pets clearly had their needs met and we returned to a calm and happy household.”
“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!”
“Izzy is awesome! She takes such great care of our dog when we go away and makes us feel at ease. She is reliable, responsible, and takes great care of our home as well.”
“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.”
“Graham was great! She communicated with us and we didn’t feel like we had to worry about our dogs when we were on our trip. They seemed happy and well taken care of when we got home :) Thank you so much Graham!”
“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.”
“Keke was amazing. She went above and beyond to and sure our dog was well taken care of the entire week we were gone. Our flight home got cancelled and we didn’t get back into town until 12 hours after we were originally planning. Keke was able to go back and check in on our boy to make sure he wasn’t left at home for too long by himself. Would book again!”
“Taylor has all the qualities of a 5 star Rover sitter. First and foremost she gives your animal the love and attention it needs. She sends daily pics and videos letting you know how their day is going. She stayed in my house for a week and when I came home it was just as clean as when I left. But the best part of all was that it was apparent my dog was happy having her here and showed no sign of stress. I highly recommend Taylor and have already booked her for a second visit.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Brianna was great. She left the house in perfect shape, and sent updates during her stay. Our dog was relaxed and happy and it was clear that she had taken very good care of him. I would definitely call on her again!”
“Lindsay was great! She sent daily updates and photos of our dogs and took great care of them while we were away. Our dogs seemed to love her! She also left our house nice and clean. We would definitely use Lindsay again next time we need someone to watch our dogs. Thank you Lindsay!”
“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!”
“Blake was communicative, kind, and very considerate. I received regular photos and updates and Blake went above and beyond with special walks and extra time with my 13 yr old chihuahua that needs more frequent attention and potty breaks. Blake did a home stay for us for 6 days and I could not tell he’d been here - he took excellent care of my home and my fur baby. Will 100% rebook and would 100% recommend.”
“Gessika is a sweetheart and we’d happily hire her again. She watched our dog and two cats for 10 days and gave them lots of love. It was such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were being well taken care of while we were out of town.”

Erica was amazing with our older dog who has mobility issues and requires a lot of medication and extra TLC. Lucy looked better than when we even left. The house was clean and she even watered my flowers which I really appreciate in this heat. I would highly recommend Erica as a puppy sitter
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 🖤
We have senior dogs and a cat that have some very particular needs. Calli did an amazing job with them. She was super attentive, thorough, respectful, and professional. Her communication was great, and she sent pictures every day so we had nothing to worry about. We are very appreciative of everything she did for us!
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. :)
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. 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.
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!
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 August 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 August 2026, there are 7,777 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 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.
