“He was so happy to receive & care for Samson and Sadie! I’ve boarded them before but it’s so impersonal and without love. I will definitely call William again when I need a sitter for them.”
“Sangwian was absolutely wonderful with our pups. She made them feel so loved and at home, and it was clear they were in such caring hands throughout their stay. She was also great about keeping us updated and sending photos, which we really appreciated. We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you so much for giving our pups a home away from home 🐶🏡❤️”
“Amanda was fantastic and I’m so glad I found her to watch our pups while we were away. She was extremely quick to respond to any messages and provided me tons of pictures and updates of our dogs. I could tell our pups got lots of love and will definitely be using Amanda in the future!”
“Dolores was amazing with our puppy! She clearly knows how to care for puppies and treated our little guy like part of her family. We loved receiving daily pictures and updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Dolores and will definitely use her again!”

“We used her for our Gunnar that’s 8 months old and she did a great job. She sent us pics and videos and took him on trips to her family ranch to run around. She’s was also very easy to deal with and has a great attitude. Shatara should be your first choice on Rover! Thanks again”
“Yvette is a very attentive sitter. We had a meet-n-greet before the day of service. The objective was to see how my dog responded to her and the environment. When I walked into her home, there were no offensive dog smells and her home was clean with kennels and a backyard large enough to give my dog space to run around. The day of service, Yvette, would have provided food but I elected to bring my dog’s food. She obviously knows how to work with finicky dogs because mine would not eat without something added to his food. Yvette, knew how to handle that situation and I appreciate her initiative. I will use her services again when the need arises.”
“Gloria was great caring for Ike & even allowed early drop-off. Her dog Peanut & Ike became quick friends. Gloria sent several update messages/photos over the period letting me know how things progressed. Ike was well cared for & had plenty of companionship between Peanut, Gloria & her daughter during the stay.”
“She was amazing while taking care of our little fur.she send us daily pictures because she understands how important he is for us and how much we will miss him while away. She is very communicative and responsive when message her for any of our concerns. I will schedule her in any future requests.”
“Mayra was an absolute life saver watching our precious pup while we were out of town! She is clearly a "dog person" and takes time to understand what each dog needs and makes them comfortable while with her. She sent us lots of adorable pics and gave our guy a nice bath too! Excellent, will definitely use her again!”
“First, let me say how much I truly appreciate Ms. Kyerah. She is a real dog whisperer. My Rocky is usually very anxious and nervous, but he warmed up to her instantly. I was so worried he would be stressed or scared while we were apart, but it was the complete opposite. She sent constant updates, videos, and pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. Rocky had an absolute blast. Ms. Kyerah was patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. I’m so thankful for the way she treated my baby. Highly recommend!”

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Cottonwood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cottonwood home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Cottonwood.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cottonwood. On Rover:

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.
You and your Cottonwood sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
