“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.”

“Katherine was terrific housesitting for our three pets (Mini-Australian shepherd, older ragdoll cat, and highland lynx kitten) in Newport Beach! The older two pets are very anxious with strangers, but Katherine was very patient and managed to win their trust. She sent us many photos and updates during her stay, and we felt very secure about leaving the "kids" in her care. Katherine also looked after the house and left it exactly as it was; you would never know she had been there. I am happy to recommend Katherine and would gladly hire her again!”

“Ms. Maria was absolutely wonderful. She fully understood our fur baby’s unique situation and accommodated with pleasure. Besides requiring adherence to a specific routine, our little girl also has separation anxiety. Ms. Maria and our fur baby did so well together! On the human front: Mommy and Daddy were very reluctant to leave our little princess. Ms. Maria could sense that. Text communication updates and pictures helped to ease our minds and achieve comfort to relax and enjoy our outing. Based on behaviors displayed, it was evident that our little fur baby felt secure and safe. We are so happy to have found Ms. Maria and are looking forward to our next interaction.”

“Ashley was amazing, she made our two girls really comfortable and put us at ease while we were away. I am very thankful for finding her and that she took such great care of our girls, we will definitely be referring back to her any time we need to go out of town. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to have someone with care, patience and great vibes.”

“Caleb & Sara sat with our dog for 3 days. They were amazing. Followed all our instructions and sent pics and updates which was much appreciated. They are our go-to pet sitters. Highly recommend.”

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.
About: I am caring, sweet whimisical creative who adores dogs. My last dog passed away a few years ago and although I am not yet ready to own another, I miss taking care of dogs. I have 15 years of watching over dogs and raising my own puppies and bulldogs. I have a dog sat for senior dogs who have extensive and special needs including my own senior english bulldog who had cancer and despite that, lived to be 13 years old. So naturally I have developed attention to detail when it comes dog's diet, administering meds and supplements, wiping, bathing, and taking care of skin conditions, etc. I love all dogs and will say I specialize in high maitenance flat nose breeds such as pugs, english, french bulldogs, and am well versed in tending to their stubborness (lol), breathing, health, and skin issues. My favorite experiences with dogs are spoiling them by cuddling, giving unlimited butt rubs, carrying them when they are lazy and treating them like babies (unless the owner specifically gives me specific instructions with how the dog should be disciplined).
“Vicki was thorough in the process of getting to know my fur babies before she stayed with them, which I appreciated. She was patient with my anxious pup, too. She brought in several packages that were delivered during her stay! I would definitely have her stay with my babies again!”

About: I have been a dog owner for over four decades. I have owned and cared for many breeds and it is a passion for me. My dogs are family. I will treat your dog(s) as part of my family. My back yard has a waterfall feature, two artificial turf areas for going potty and plenty of room to explore and play. I own two beagles, Sofia and Fiona. I am retired with a very flexible schedule.

I have a waterfall feature in the back, two artificial turf areas to go potty and two playmates, Sofia and Fiona, my beagles. I have a crate if needed.

About: Vet tech and animal lover offering walks, drop-ins, overnight care, medications, and loving attention. Experienced with puppies, seniors, and special-needs pets. With me your pets are family! Pet care is already a natural part of my routine! As a veterinary technician, I’m used to caring for animals daily and making time for walks, playtime, cuddles, and attentive care.

I know how important it is to feel confident your pets are well cared for while you’re away, because that’s exactly what I’d want for my own.
About: I have about 4 years of pet-sitting experience caring for friends’ pets, and I absolutely love being around animals! As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to make sure your furry family members feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience caring for both playful puppies and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I enjoy spending time with animals, playing with them, giving them lots of affection, and making sure their individual needs are met. I treat every pet as if they were my own and want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their fur babies are in caring and trustworthy hands! I attend school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I’m available after 5 PM on those days. On all other weekdays, weekends, and holidays, I have more flexibility to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for everyone and provide your furry family members with lots of love and attention! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions from their owner. I understand that every pet has different needs, so I adjust my care to fit their personality, age, and energy level. I have experience with both puppies and senior pets and always provide extra patience and attention when needed.

About: I have always grown up around animals, living on property at one with carouse types of animal, and currently have two fish and two dogs! Bringing peace of mind to owners has been my mission since I started pet sitting/walking in my own neighborhood. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends! On weekends I am fully available! On weekdays I am available after 4 pm and for spending the night but not staying for the full duration of the day, but can check on them before and after my school hours. I can do early morning and late night visits!! My care of personal pets is very dependent on the learning personalities that they have. My dog scooter is very vocal when he wants to potty or eat, my dog Libby is not. I keep these things in mind and potty her even when she doesn’t ask or indicate because I know her personality. With pets I always go by the “better safe than sorry” method. Even when accidents happen, I try to never be harsh because at the end of the day they can’t use words and it’s my job to help them out.
About: I spend lots of time with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I also take pride being a dog trainer apprentice in the making. I currently work full-time time at a dog ranch and would love to spend my days off with your pups! More tail-waggin fun for pups! I follow client instructions and care for their pups. From feeding, medication if needed, walking, playing, grooming, baths if needed, and spending quality time too.
About: I love dogs. I live an active lifestyle and love going for runs in the Hollywood hills up away from cars, however when it comes to my clients pups, I always follow instructions for what they prefer. I have experience with all sorts of pups and would love to have your pup in the pack. While we are at my place, I go outside every hour / two for pee breaks. Usually in the morning I will go to the hills or the park before it gets too hot, or in the evening. I have experience watching all sorts of dogs with a variety of personalities. I love having fun and making sure that the pups have a good time too. I know how lame it is to be stuck in one place all the time so we try to move as much as possible.
About: Ive been dog sitting here anther for the last 2 years but I am a 3 year experienced veterinary technician. I know I can give the best care to your fur baby such as potty breaks play times making sure they are set with food and water as well as walks if needed per the owner. I’m currently working full time 3 days a week at a Veterinary Specialty ER hospital and available to care for your baby through out the week including weekends. I have a fenced yard and a lovely neighborhood to go for walks. I have a couple dogs myself to keep company and play around or I can also keep separated if owner prefers that way.
About: Hi, I’m Kaylee, and dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I have four of my own—Chase, my sweet and loyal Golden/Labrador; Max, my German Shepherd who has come so far from being reactive to confident through training; and even my cat, Sleepy, who thinks he’s one of the dogs! And Pantera my crazy Husky/Shepherd who is the sweetest loving girl. Because of them, I’ve learned how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and training needs. I’m also actively working with a mentor to become a professional dog trainer, so I have experience handling dogs with all kinds of behaviors. I regularly take my dogs on hikes, adventures, and public outings, giving them exposure to new environments and experiences. I’ve also been a trusted dog sitter for others, and one of my past clients even became like family after seeing the care and dedication I put into watching their dog. I also have experience as a kennel technician. Which basically means I have experience with all different breeds, ages and conditions. Including administering medications. Whether your baby needs a structured walk, a fun outing, or just a patient and caring companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I currently am spending time focusing on training and have an open schedule to focus solely on training, dog watching and walking. I am open to part time/Full time availability I have about 3 1/2 acres so my dogs have a lot of room to run around. To keep them safe when not being watched I have a large outside crate but most of the time they’re just inside. They have their own room in our laundry room but most of the time they’re just hanging out on their beds in the living room. At my clients house usually I unlock the door go and greet him and let him out the back door to use the bathroom. Usually will do some light training and then take him on a walk depending on how long I am needed. And make sure to lock up properly and check to make sure all the doors were locked up for the cat that is there as well.

The average cost of House Sitting in Terra Cotta is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 Terra Cotta. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
