“Finding someone who can handle anxious rescue dogs is tough, but Marissa was an absolute blessing! Our dogs usually take a long time to warm up to new people, but Marissa was so patient, gentle, and calm with them. The photo updates gave us complete peace of mind, and we returned home to happy, relaxed pups. She's also punctual, reliable, and communicative. We couldn't ask for a better sitter!”
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!

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.
“Maria did a great job taking care of Abby. Abby had the best time. Maria sent me pictures and videos everyday. Which made my day. Maria took care of Abby like she would her own dog. I would definitely have her watch Abby again and I would definitely recommend her to watch someone else dog. She is great .”
“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: Hey there! I’ve been loving and caring for dogs for over 10 years—giving meds, doing bath time, brushing fluff, and sneaking in extra belly rubs! Whether your pup needs a calm cuddle buddy or an energetic playmate, I’m here to make tails wag and hearts happy. Every dog gets VIP treatment (Very Important Pup, of course)! 🐾💛 I work from home on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so I’m fully available for walks, drop-ins, or care those days. I’m also off every other Friday and free most weekends, so I can usually accommodate weekend stays, check-ins, or playtime! If you’re not sure, just shoot me a message—I’m flexible and happy to help! I care for pets in my cozy, pet-proofed home that’s safe for all kinds of pups! I have a fenced in yard for fresh air and pup-approved lounging, plus we’re just a short walk from a local dog park for daily exercise and play. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine, including crate time if needed. Whether they love naps, cuddles, or playtime, they’ll feel right at home! 🐾🐶 I’m happy to care for your pup right in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and relaxed! I stick to their usual routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles—just like you would. I’m respectful of your space, keep things clean, and always make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.
“She kept updating us with our animals while we were gone, sent frequent photos, picked up after herself and most of all bonded with our animals. She even bonded with our antisocial and mean cat, which is amazing. We are planning on using her for future trips.”
“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 💕”
“Katherine was fantastic, once again! She has taken wonderful care of our home, a very high maintenance dog, and two cats (one still a hyper kitten!) several times now. I recommend Katherine without reservation. She is responsible, reliable, neat, patient, and kind. Plus, she always takes GREAT photos of our pets ...”
About: I’m a huge animal lover. Currently a cat mom but have been a dog mom for many years. I’m extremely patient and lovable with pets so I’m definitely someone you can count on. Ideally I would like to do this full time. I only care for my cat and home so I currently am very open when it comes to availability. I have an indoor cat. She is spayed and fed a can of wet food every morning. I feed her dry food and check on her water too. Litter box gets cleaned every night and play time at least 15min a day along with cuddles and lots of attention throughout the day. I hope this gives you an idea of how I will care for your pets.
“Thank you Laura!!! Always takes the best care of my sweet boy!! Gunner was still looking for her even after we got home. She is so good he sulks for several days because she is no longer here but he is actually happy we are home. Recommend her highly!!!”

“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!!”
About: Animal Lover here, at my home your pet is a member of the family. Your furry friend will love it here with over 20 years experience. Your furry loved one is in for treat. Currently work from home, great outdoor space for our furry friends, with lots of toys and a large park across the street for even more fun. The back yard is completely fenced. Your furry friend can have daily trips to the park across the street for even more space to run around. I have two permanent furry friends that make perfect companions.
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.
“Caleb and Sara cared for our dogs and were amazing. They cleaned the house and even took out the trash. The dogs were very happy and had a great time with them. They sent pictures and kept us updated the whole time we were gone. Definitely using them again and would recommend them to anyone in need of dog sitting!!”
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.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 5,581 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Terra Cotta. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
