About: Hi, I’m Madelyn!, Your Friendly Neighborhood Pet Sitter! With a lifelong love for animals and years of hands-on experience, I provide reliable, compassionate care for pets of all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re away for a day or a week, I make sure your furry (or feathered!) family members feel safe, happy, and loved. I have experience with dogs, cats, birds, and furry friends of any kind of size! I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique needs—feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications, or just keeping them company. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. Trustworthy, punctual, and detail-oriented, I aim to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Let’s make your time apart from your pet as stress-free as possible—for both of you! 🐶 🦴 🐱🩵🦜🦴🐓💙🐴 Pet care is a natural and rewarding part of my daily and weekly routine. Every day, I schedule time specifically for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins with the pets I care for. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday visits, or evening check-ins, I structure my day around my clients’ needs to ensure consistency and reliability. I treat each pet like they’re part of my own family, so spending time with them doesn’t feel like a task—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. On a weekly basis, I also stay in touch with pet owners to confirm schedules, provide updates, and adjust care plans if needed. My routine is flexible but always built around providing the highest level of attention, safety, and affection to every animal I care for. In clients’ homes, or my own I follow their pet’s routine—feeding, walks, play, meds, and cleanup—ensuring comfort, safety, and love in a familiar, stress-free environment..🐶👍🏡🐾

About: I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science. I have 6+ years experience in a veterinary hospital setting caring for dogs and cats of all kinds. Animals are a true gift and I believe they all have a unique and special way of communicating with us. Through energy, body language, vocalization and behaviors. If we take the time to slow down and understand each animal for who they are, we can learn so much! I truly look forward to getting to know your fur babies and treating them as my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule! Plenty of time for walks, snuggles and backyard playtime. I am home most weekends and can accommodate extended stays or last minute pet care needs. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room indoors for your pets to relax. I have 1 neutered male dog named Floki that is very well behaved and will love the company of your pets.

“We have 4 dogs, so it has been hard to find a sitter that is able to handle them all at once, but Samara did an awesome job! From the minute she showed up for the Meet & Greet our dogs fell in love with her. She spent one on one time with each of them during her stay & even bought them some treats that have become their favorites! She was very easy to work with and provided daily updates & pictures as we had requested. Knowing Samara was there made it easy for us to relax while we were away. She truly cared for the pups like they were her own & we can't wait to use her again next time we need a sitter!”

She clearly took great care of them, and sent us picture updates the whole time. I will be contacting her again to book her in the future when needed, as I can know I can fully trust her in my house and with my dogs!”

About: I am a former dog & cat owner, and have been taking care of my friend's animals for several years. I'm available to dog or cat sit in your home, take them for walks or provide drop-in visits. I'm a huge animal lover and the best Fur Aunty ever! Your fur baby will be spoiled by me (within reason). I am currently freelancing and make my own hours so I can easily fit walks/feedings/care into my daily routine. I will make sure they are well taken care of! I pay attention to any food allergies, sun sensitivity or directions I am given. Your fur baby's safety and happiness are of utmost importance to me.

This time was a bit different because I accidentally gave the wrong return date/time and needed her to return back to my home for an extra day. She quickly returned and stayed with no problems. We will continue to have her and Gage care for our home and Danes whenever we are away! Thank you guys for allowing us to have peace of mind when we are on vacation! 🫶🏼”

Communication was consistent, clear, and thoughtful from start to finish, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious Luke was genuinely cared for and not just watched. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I would absolutely trust David again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and professional.”

About: I’m patient, reliable, and I give pets a lot of attention and care. I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely and keep you updated so you always know how they’re doing. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m very organized and make time for check-ins, feeding, playtime, and cleaning. I’m flexible with my schedule, so I can adjust to your pet’s needs and keep their routine consistent. I focus on creating a safe and comfortable environment by following each pet’s routine exactly and paying attention to their behavior. In a client’s home, I make sure doors and windows are secure, keep dangerous items out of reach, and give pets a calm, stress-free space. I always handle pets gently, stay aware of their comfort levels, and keep you updated so you can trust they’re safe and well cared for.

About: I have had dogs since I was a young kid. I currently have a mini dachshund. I stay at home so I am the person that always checks in on everyone's plants and animals when they are out of town. I am fortunate enough to stay at home. My daily routine consists of caring for multiple animals within my home. My schedule is pretty much a first come first serve basis. I treat my animals as if they are children because they are my children so your pets would be safe and loved with me. I live in a 1700sq ft townhouse with a fenced in backyard in the medical district in Dallas. I have a longhaired dachshund and a goldendoodle.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cottonwood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of October 2026, there are 586 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 , 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 .

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cottonwood. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 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.
