“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Another wonderful experience working with Keonia. She brings such a comfort to us when we travel. Our dog loves her and is always in good spirits when we return. Keonia is a thoughtful house guest as well. Thank you!!!”
“I had a great experience with this dog sitter and would absolutely recommend them. They were incredibly attentive and made sure my dog got plenty of exercise with regular walks and lots of time outside. It was clear they genuinely cared about keeping him happy and comfortable while I was away. Communication was also excellent—they were very responsive and kept me updated, which gave me real peace of mind. I never had to wonder how things were going because they consistently checked in and were quick to reply whenever I reached out.”
“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”
“Kelley and Matt were absolutely fabulous! They went above and beyond and did everything requested, as well as left my house cleaner than when I left. My pups were super happy and very well cared for. I highly recommend them and will absolutely rebook next time I need to be out of town.”
“Hannah took care of our 11 week old puppy while we were away for 4-5 hours. She was very punctual and professional. Although our puppy is a handful with a lot of energy, she took good care of him, took him out to play and walk and sent a bunch of photos to keep us updated. Would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Blake was an incredible sitter and friend to our kitty cats. One of our cats is extremely shy around new people, and Blake went out of his way to ensure both cats were comfortable with him. Our cats were happy & safe while we were across the country, and Blake followed all requests/ instructions perfectly. We got multiple pictures every day- and they were excellent pictures too!”
“Ion was very good with our Louie! He was communicative and kept us updated with pictures of their adventures. It’s not uncommon for Louie to stop eating his food. Ion noticed this and made him a doggie pizza to encourage him to eat and it worked! Louie loves to see Ion and is always happy in his company. Louie is an anxious dog but seems happy and content with Ion. He leaves our home clean and just the way we left it. We would recommend his services to anyone!”
“Sam, Brianna's husband, was awesome. He was friendly, warm, and did a great job keeping us informed. Pretzel was sad that we were gone and I appreciate that Sam didn't try to sugarcoat it. He was honest about my dog missing us and not eating or playing. I would definitely use Sam again.”
“Elisabeth is great! She took great care of our dog and cat. She kept our house clean and how we left it. Very communicative before and during her time watching them! Our boys were well taken care of and allowed us to enjoy our weekend away!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Cottonwood is $55

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.
