“Marissa house sat and dogs sat for us for 3 nights. We really appreciated her ability to adapt. We have a GP who is a rescue. He has become a very sweet and loving dog with us, but we know he can be very territorial, protective and stubborn. He wasn’t easy for her to deal with, but she persevered. When we returned our house was in great shape and she took good care of our boy. We are so glad that we met Marissa. She is willing to come back and deal with our GP and we appreciate that. We will definitely be contacting her again.”

About: I've had many pets throughout my life, and am well-known amongst my friends for being a dog enthusiast. I have several years of experience with pet-sitting (dogs, cats, and guinea pigs too!) for neighbors and friends. I have administered oral and topical medications for sick and injured pets, and have run around with puppies until they dropped. I have a deep love for animals and would love to look after your furry friend for you! I work from 8am - 11am every weekday except Wednesday (so overnights into Wednesday work!), and from 12:00pm - 4pm Monday through Friday. I can check on and let your pet out for a potty break in between, or I can come by after my afternoon shift for a longer time and get some walking or playtime in. On Fridays I only work in the morning, so I would be available after 11am. *** Note: I will be out of the country from August 31st until September 14th and will be unable to provide services during this time. I have two dogs at home with big personalities so I provide services in client homes only. I am comfortable following your guidelines at home regarding crate usage, walks, mealtime routines, or any other services you may need.
“Skylar is the sweetest most caring sitter! Jasper immediately wanted to snuggle up next to her. She sends frequent updates and adorable pics. Very thoughtful and kind individual who you can trust with your fur babies in your home!”

About: Hello, I Have alot of experience with dogs and would love to watch yours. My experience is with both puppies and dogs alike. I am a big dog lover! I currently own two socialized and well behaved dogs who love to meet others. I have a lot of experience watching dogs and have watched many different breeds with all kinds of personalities. If you would like me to walk them everyday, that is not an issue. Please feel free to send me a request. I am reliable, responsible, dependable, and can guarantee they will receive the love and exercise they need while you are away. I treat every dog who I watch as my own pup. I always make sure I give plenty of updates and send pictures throughout their stay so you know exactly how your dog/ dogs are doing. Your pup will receive constant care and attention. I always treat your dogs just like I would treat my own. Look forward to hearing from you soon! Thank you. Right now Friday-Sunday can do some Monday as long as it is earlier on. Feel free to send a message so we can discuss more. If your dog is outside I am too. There is always supervision no dogs are left alone. I’ll be your pups BFF and treat your pet as my own.
About: Animals have been part of my life since the day I was born. Over the years I’ve cared for 12 dogs, 12 cats, birds, fish, and a bearded dragon through every stage of life, from newborn litters to senior pets. I’ve assisted with caring for pregnant dogs and cats, newborn puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals recovering from illness or injury. I’ve given oral medications when needed, monitored pets closely, and provided patient, around the clock care while following veterinary guidance. One of my beloved companions lived to 22 years old, and another to 15, so I understand the extra patience and gentle attention senior pets deserve. While I’m not a veterinarian or professional trainer, I’m observant, calm, dependable, and committed to keeping your pet’s routine consistent. I know the importance of recognizing when something isn’t right and seeking veterinary care promptly. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. My own pets are part of my daily routine, so feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, cleaning, and making sure everyone is happy and healthy are second nature to me. With a flexible schedule, I’m able to plan my day around the pets in my care and keep their routines as consistent as possible. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to learn what helps each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay as normal and pleasant as possible. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications (when agreed upon), and any special routines that help them feel comfortable. I’ll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a clean, safe environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“I’m so happy we had Maria to take care of our Cane Corso. She stay in communication with me and kept me updated with pictures of “our baby”. She made me feel very comfortable having her in our home. I highly recommend Maria, we will be booking with her again.”

“She is very professional, took great care of our pups and our house. We didn’t have to worry about anything while we were away. She was very punctual with communication, and sent pictures and videos. Highly recommend.”


About: I volunteered for approximately one year at Animal Friends of the Valley Animal Shelter, where I cleaned and maintained dog kennels, washed dishes and food bowls, and collaborated with other volunteers and staff. I am fully available on weekends, and can also accommodate weekdays depending on the specific day and times required. Please DM me with a preferred time, and I will confirm whether I am able to accommodate it. I will ensure the pets are well-fed and receive plenty of outdoor time. If crating is required, I am happy to accommodate that, while always doing my best to keep them comfortable and at ease.
“Laura was very professional and was completly comfortable with my pets right away. She kept me updated and asked/answered questions as needed. She even took the time to clean up after my dog with incontinence issues. And, lastly she added a sweet touch by putting out a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a note of appreciation. It was hard to leave my vacation, but coming home was great. I would recommend her.”

About: I’ve had animals/pets my whole life, i’ve always out them first no matter what. I’m very gentle and patient when it comes to animals, i really adore them. i’m available at anytime; mornings, afternoons or night. Any day Monday through Sunday. Except holidays I would not be available for anytime or day. Whatever works with you works with me unless there’s any type of emergency. My own pets are always leashed up when they go on walks or out to do their business, always gated in if not on a leash. Always watched even when they eat in case of any emergencies. I always put my pets first even if it puts me in danger.
About: My wife and I have had a dogs our entire life :) We love pets, and just like anyone else who is a dog lover, we can handle any pup! We love to go on walks and exercise, so if you have an active pup, we are the ones for the job! We both work remote so we can make sure your dog is never alone! Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine because we both work from home full-time, giving us the flexibility to provide constant attention and care. Our days are structured around giving dogs plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddles, ensuring they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. We live in a safe, quiet neighborhood with a private home that provides a secure and peaceful environment for your dog. We take pride in being a responsible and reliable caregiver, ensuring your pup is well cared for and protected at all times.
About: I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, birds, geckos, frogs, hamsters, and guinea pigs. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, administer basic care, and give their pets plenty of love. I’m comfortable supporting puppies, senior pets, and animals with special needs, always treating each one as if they were my own to ensure they’re safe, happy, and well-cared for. I’m currently attending nursing school, so while my classes are challenging, I still have extra time to devote to pet care. I’m available most days except Monday nights, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I love fitting pet visits, walks, and playtime into my week and can adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. My home isn’t available for boarding, but I’m happy to travel to your home so your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment. I’ll follow your care instructions carefully, provide updates with photos, and ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and secure. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or companionship, I treat each animal as if they’re my own.

“Air was so great!! Bubba can be aggressive, depending on how you approach him, and he immediately ran up to her and gave her a kiss 🥹 He won’t do a lot of things while I’m gone, but she got him to go outside, potty, fetch, and eat cheese - things he wouldn’t even do for my family off the bat. I appreciated the updates throughout the day, as well as the pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad that I chose Air to watch Bubba while I was visiting for a wedding 🩷 I would ABSOLUTELY rebook if I lived there!!”

“Vivian was absolutely perfect! My kitties love her and she was so considerate and attentive to them. I can tell she genuinely loves animals and I was at ease knowing my cats were in the best hands. I will certainly be booking her again and again! Thanks Vivian 💕”

“Val was communicative, sent pics of our cats daily and was responsive when I reached out. It was so nice to have peace of mind that our cats were taken care of while we were gone!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and other pets ever since I was 12. I’ve also had experience with puppies and elderly dogs. Family and friends always rely on me to take care of their dogs while on vacation and I’d say I do a pretty good job! I am currently home for college and would love to pet sit for anyone in need of a sitter. Anytime works for me. I’d be happy to help! I usually like to give dogs a walk if they’re up for it. I give them food and make sure they’re well fed. I also give them baths on occasion!

FAQs for House Sitting - Terra Cotta
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Terra Cotta on Rover is $47.73 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 5,592 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Terra Cotta. 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 Terra Cotta 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 Terra Cotta 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 Terra Cotta 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.

- 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.
