“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!”
“Leila is an incredible human and so trustworthy in every way! We had the pleasure of spending time with her and getting to know one another before we went out of the country leaving our home and fur babies in her care! I did not worry about the pups or anything else knowing Leila was here. She kept I’m close touch and sent many photos to us while we were away. Please don’t hesitate to allow Leila in your home or to care for your pets. Thank you ever so much, Leila! You’re just the best!”
“Taylor was great. She showed up on time and gave our boy all the snuggles he needed. She checked in each day with pictures or a video. Would definitely book with 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!”
“A great sitter. Second time we’ve had Monique stay with our 2 dogs. On both occasions, she was on time, sent us fun photos a couple of times each day, and left notes for us on any happenings throughout her stay. Among the best we found on Rover. Definitely would choose her again.”
“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!”
“Jason was super patient with our rescue dog who was pretty freaked out by our being gone. Persistence paid off and they became buddies. We appreciate knowing he was in good hands.”
“Nikki did such a wonderful job watching Reggie! Reggie can be very timid towards humans, but I didn’t have to worry about a thing and in fact Reggie really warmed up to Nikki and seemed so calm and relaxed when I returned. I would definitely recommend!!”
“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”
“Jessica exceeded our expectations as a pet sitter! We loved having her watch our pups. As an experienced dog owner herself, she provided exceptional care for our dogs. Throughout her stay, she kept us well-informed with regular updates on how our dogs were doing each day. We loved that! She took them on neighborhood walks, treated them to snacks, and played with them with their favorite toys. She fulfilled every request we made but consistently went above and beyond our expectations. She earned our highest rating, and we would recommend her services to anyone seeking a reliable pet sitter or dog walker.”
“Polina and John took excellent care of our playful and energetic puppy! Their communication was great, they sent us lots of pictures and loved on her like she was their own. Highly recommend their services!”
“I will absolutely be using Aislyn again to watch my dogs. The dogs loved her and she communicated with texts and photos. I highly recommend her for your dog care needs!”
About: For 19 years I have grown up and cared for many family pets of my own. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, and a few exotic animals. I believe all animals that live in someone’s household is considered family and should be treated like so. With love, care, and compassion. When I take care of another persons family pet, I would treat them like I treat my baby, all animals deserved to be loved and shown affection. When you leave your fur or non fur family with me I can promise you they’ll be in good hands! Not only will you receive videos and photos of your cute bundles of joy but you will receive an outstanding service from myself! Your home AND your fur babies will both be in great hands and that is a promise! I am available weekdays! I do have a baby and am her primary caregiver so if you do not mind me bringing her along for walks, check-ins, etc that would be amazing! I will of course provide full and acceptable services that fit your standards regardless if my daughter is with me or not! I promise to exceed your expectations and provide an amazing services! I do live in a one bedroom apartment with my one dog. She is friendly! We do have balcony space and I do have a single crate if crating is needed. Generally okay with creating space in the living room for the zoomies. We also have a dog park located in my apartment complex area where I’m happy to let them run around in! I am currently searching for a full time job but for now I can be flexible! I will of course give updates to anyone who books with me regarding any changes I care for pets the same way I care for mine. As family, with love and care. An animal just isn’t a pet. They are family and I will treat them as so.
“Kristin did a great job with Bones. Took care of him and our apartment and was very communicative. We came home and bones was happy and everything was clean. Would use her again”
“Ayla and Han did a great job caring for our dog while we were out of town. They sent updates as often as requested and have always been very responsive and professional. They stayed at our house while we were gone and left our house spotless. I would highly recommend!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cottonwood
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!
Ashley was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Lucy! She watched Lucy for 8 days and sent us pictures and an update every day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She played with Lucy a lot and took her on two walks every day. From all the pictures, Lucy looked so happy and well cared for! Ashley was fantastic, and we will definitely use her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
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 🖤
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. :)
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!

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.

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.
