“I was really nervous having someone I didn't know take care of my dog while I was away because he can be temperamental. He took to Briana at our first meeting and while I was gone I got constant pictures of their walks and check-ins. I'll definitely use her again, and recommend her for any pets big or small. Thanks again Brianna! :)”

“They are amazing, they played and cuddled our young golden 70lb and old lady 5lb dog. They quickly became great friends with our golden who is very leery of new people and especially of men. I will definitely be using them again.”

About: I have over 30 years of experience with dogs and cats that were just born babies to fully grown and elderly. Growing up, my family would take in pets whos owners had past away. This included many different breeds, but also most of them were elderly that needed some extra love and care. I also had my own range of pets from fish to frogs to mice to geckos growing up and of course cats and dogs. I have 6 years as a desert tortoise biologist and love all kinds of pets. I recently started a part time job, so I am flexible and mostly at the house. I am able to board pets starting from 5pm to 8pm and can start daycare for most days at 7am. We have a yard with a fenced off runner and a separate grassy area for your pups to play in and do their business. We do have a cat, but we have a gate that can separate the upstairs from the downstairs. We have plenty of room for kennels or crates if your fur baby needs them.
“Jenna is GREAT!! She’s super responsive and communicative. She took excellent care of our kitty and sent pictures and updates everyday. We were able to enjoy our time away because we knew our fur baby was in good hands. We will definitely request Jenna again!”

“Danielle is amazing! She’s reliable, and her schedule works perfectly with ours. My boys love her weekly drop-ins, and she always follows instructions while giving them plenty of attention and care. We’re so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs, and over the years, I've gained hands-on experience caring for animals of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. My experience goes beyond everyday pet care. I've attended obedience training classes with several of my own dogs and worked closely with a professional dog trainer to better understand canine behavior, body language, and the individual needs of each animal. This has helped me develop a patient, attentive approach to caring for dogs with different personalities, including those who may need extra time, reassurance, or structure to feel comfortable. I've cared for puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special medical needs. My experience includes administering oral medications, assisting with post-surgery recovery, caring for rescue puppies, and helping dogs work through separation anxiety. I also have experience providing overnight care for cats, including feeding, playtime, litter box maintenance, and helping a rescued kitten adjust to a new home. At home, I'm a proud pet parent to Nala, my 11-year-old Greyhound/Shepherd mix, and Koda, my 5-month-old Chiweenie! We also share our home with my roommates' two senior dogs, giving me daily experience caring for dogs of different ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. Living in a multi-dog household has taught me the importance of recognizing each dog's individual needs, understanding their body language, and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment where every dog feels loved and secure. I'm a firm believer that every pet deserves more than just the basics. Whether it's reinforcing their favorite tricks, enjoying a walk, engaging in playtime, or providing extra affection, I make an effort to connect with each animal and understand what makes them happy. I also know how important routine and consistency are to a pet's well-being. When caring for someone else's furry family member, one of my first priorities is learning their established schedule, habits, and preferences so I can provide a familiar, comfortable experience while their owner is away. I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! I'm an early bird, usually starting my day around 5 a.m., and I currently work part-time three days a week with a fairly flexible schedule. This allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week and accommodate a variety of schedules. Caring for my own dogs is already an important part of my daily routine, so incorporating walks and drop-in visits for your furry family members is something I genuinely look forward to! I understand that pets thrive on consistency, and I'll do my best to accommodate their established feeding, walking, and bathroom schedules. Whether your pet needs an early morning potty break, a midday walk, or some extra attention and companionship while you're away, I'm happy to discuss a schedule that works for you and your pet's needs. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that feels familiar and reassuring. Before caring for your pet, I'll make sure I understand their feeding and bathroom schedules, medical needs, behavioral tendencies, and any household rules or special instructions. I believe maintaining consistency is especially important when their favorite humans are away, and I'll do my best to keep their daily routine as normal as possible. For pets who may be shy or anxious, I take a calm, patient, and confident approach. I never want an animal to feel pressured into interacting with me. Instead, I give them the space to observe, explore, and approach me when they're comfortable, allowing trust to develop naturally. I'm also comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. During walks and drop-in visits, I'll remain attentive to your pet's behavior, comfort, and surroundings to help ensure they have a safe and positive experience. And one of my favorite parts of pet sitting? Sending photo updates! I love capturing those little moments that let you see what your furry family member is up to while you're away. You can expect regular updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in caring hands.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and love spending time with them! I did a puppy training course with one of my dogs a couple years back that I still try and integrate in my care! Have watched families and friends dogs over the years, something I enjoy doing! I am currently looking for a part-time job, so I have plenty of time to care for pups and stay with them for long periods of time! I have a big fenced yard with 2 other dogs to keep company! I can crate them if necessary and follow any special instructions that are needed for your dog!
About: What makes me stand out among other pet sitters is my deep affection towards animals, patience, and reliability. I have some experience working with my own pets, so I realize the importance of ensuring pets feel secure, comfortable, and loved while being left without the company of their owner. I am reliable, responsive to the needs of each individual pet and ready to walk dogs, play with them and keep them company. I realize that all pets have their unique character and routine, and I will try my best to ensure that your pets get the treatment they deserve. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I attend college three days a week for a few hours at a time, so I am available on the other days and can work around my class schedule. I can plan visits, dog walks, and playtime to fit your pet’s needs and routine. I am committed to being reliable, communicating with pet owners, and making sure every pet receives the care and attention they deserve. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes because I am unable to host animals in my own home. I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being by following the owner’s instructions, maintaining their normal routine, and making sure they have everything they need. I respect my clients’ homes, keep doors and gates secure, and pay close attention to pets during visits and walks. I also communicate with owners and provide updates so they can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while they are away.
About: Growing up my neighbors and family friends knew I adored animals and I was responsible and reliable so I always took care of their animals on summer breaks for them! I am currently a stay at home mom and I care for my 16 year old poodle mix and my 6 month old chihuahua. I have a gated court yard and backyard. I have a gated courtyard with turf grass dog friendly and two other dogs to keep your dogs company. We also have a dog park in my community that my dogs frequent and I have a crate in case this is needed for your dog for training purposes.
About: I make sure that whatever animal is under my care, they feel safe. Exercise before treats and affection. I have raised pups since their birth. At the moment my schedule is open only during the weekdays. I’m unavailable during the weekends. Walks are good any time of day. I do prefer morning routines. I have a fenced area both in front of the house and in the back, and 2 friendly dogs to keep a visiting dog company.
“Jenny did a great job with our Luna. She treated our girl like she would her own animals. We had her come let her out for a potty break and some playtime in the backyard. Our girl was tired so it was nice that Jenny didn’t force Luna to do anything. We look forward to booking Jenny to help us out on our long days away from home when Luna can’t be with us”

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.

About: So i’ve dealt with dogs since I was kid. I pop in to take care of my parents dogs from time to time which is a tiny mutt and a husky. Currently I own a inu, but I do have experience with dealing with dogs of all sizes. I genuinely have a love for them. I am extremely patient and caring as well as careful. So i’m usually available most of the week to take care of dogs. I try to walk my own dog daily, and i make sure there is food and water. Generally daily walks and just basic care works for my dog, but I have taken care of other’s people’s dogs that did require more care or more attention. I’m generally a fast learner and very attentive to my dog’s needs and others.
“We were very lucky to have Sandra taking care of our Pix for several days . Pix is a 16 years old yorkie with special needs, and Sandra took care of everything, including IV fluids. My Pix is always very relaxed around Sandra, and that says a lot! Thank you, Sandra, we hope you are available next time we need you!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Terra Cotta is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $0 and $40 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 8,479 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Terra Cotta. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% 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.
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.
