“Bella is by far the best sitter we’ve had in Denver! We left her with our dog and cat for a few days in our home and she took extra great care of them, including taking our dog to a dog park and a treat shop. She was super responsive in coordinating their care and sent me daily pictures and updates which made me feel so at ease. She even washed our sheets for us! She is very sweet and friendly and clearly just adores all animals. Do yourself a favor and book with Bella!”
“Bryce was amazing with our babies!! She kept me very well updated and our house was spotless when we got home. Our babies were well loved and we will definitely use her services again”
“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!”
“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!”
“Loren is so caring with our dog and cat and always sends great pictures to show they’re having a good time. Very communicative and prompt. Can’t recommend her enough!”
“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.”
“Keonia is absolutely wonderful. Our older dog had some separation anxiety and Keonia was so understanding and patient with her. We received multiple updates about the dogs each day with pictures, which really put my mind at ease. I have a tough time leaving them, but Keonia made it easy because I knew that they were being so well taken care of. She took them for multiple walks, played fetch, and gave them tons of cuddles and love. When we got home, not only were the dogs happy, but our house was spotless. 5 stars isn’t enough to adequately express how amazing Keonia is. We will most definitely be asking her to watch our girls again!”
“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!”
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“Anna did an excellent job housesitting & watching my two dogs. She sent me lots of updates and pictures while we were away. She also took great care of the house. We will absolutely continue to book her!”
“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.”
“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.”
“This was our first time using Rover, & we’re so glad we did! Having Elisabeth stay at our house & watch our dogs gave us the peace of mind we needed to enjoy our trip. Our girls are shy & slow to warm up, & she was so patient with them. She sent regular updates & asked questions when she had them. I had no doubt they were in great hands & well taken care of. She also left the house in great condition! We will absolutely book Elisabeth again for future trips.”

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!

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!
We cannot say enough about the outstanding service we got from Rebecca! She took care of our 15 year old corgi and our daughter’s two chihuahua mixes and sometimes they can all three be a handful. Since our corgi is an older dog and slowing down we worried about her routine changing along with the other pups. Past sitter experience (not Rover) was a bit of a disaster for our old girl so we were concerned. But Rebecca with her vast experience and love of animals had no problems. We had peace of mind during our vacation and for that we are eternally grateful! We highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again! She sent many pictures and videos and our old girl even did some zombies for her. We knew they were having a good time. Thank you Rebecca, our daughter was a beautiful bride and the wedding was wonderful here on the island! We feel that Rebecca’s care for our babies allowed us not to worry and just have a great time! Best sitter 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.

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.
