“Felicia was amazing! We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Thank you for everything. We’ll be in touch for another upcoming trip we’ll need your services for!”
“Jennifer was great with our high energy dog. She walked her beyond expectation and kept her company during the nights. She communicated every day while we were away, sending us pictures and screenshots of my dog’s workout in the Tractive GPS app we shared with Jennifer.”
“Kate was so GREAT!! She accepted a relatively last minute booking for a 12 night sit and was so amazing with Cooper. She sent picture, messages and made things special for Cooper while she was here. She even hung out later than expect when my flight was delayed. Cooper was happy when I arrived home and and everything was in order. I will absolutely use Kate again!!”
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors, friends and families dogs since I can remember. From single old pups to a house of 10 dogs and cats I’m currently off and free every Monday-Thursday after 2-3pm. Sometimes even as early as 10am. I’m open all afternoon and well into the next morning till 6am. I can only offer to take care of pets at your property, they’d rather be home anyways right? I find that animals prefer a new person in their own nest rather than in a strange new environment.
“We had a wonderful experience with Emmanuel! He took exceptional care of our 4-month-old puppy while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. He followed his schedule closely, made sure he got plenty of playtime and exercise, and even continued working on his training and good habits. It was clear from the updates that our puppy was getting lots of attention, affection, and engagement throughout the stay. When we returned home, he was happy, healthy, well-cared for, and settled into his normal routine with no issues. We truly appreciated the level of care, professionalism, and dedication Emmanuel showed. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pet.”
“Angie was great. Lucy loves her. This is the 2nd time of house sitting we had with her and we came to a clean house both times. Will definitely recommend her and will call her up in the future.”
About: I grew up in a home with at least two dogs and a cat, so it’s no surprise I’m the person at a gathering who ends up saying hi to the pets first. I’ve always had an easy connection with animals, and I’m comfortable reading their body language while respecting their routines, boundaries, and comfort levels. Over the past few years, I’ve become the go-to sitter in my friend group (and for friends-of-friends) because I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with pets. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes and ages—from playful puppies and curious kittens to sweet senior pets who need a slower pace. Whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or prefers quiet companionship and cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions (including how long your pet can be alone), and I can provide regular photo updates. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and supporting pets with health-related care needs as directed. I have an extremely flexible schedule and work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day. Because I’m in full control of my routine, I can adjust my availability around you and your pet’s needs—whether that means morning/evening walks, midday drop-ins, frequent potty breaks, or keeping your pet company throughout the day. I’m reliable about sticking to feeding and medication schedules, and I’m happy to tailor my visits to match your pet’s normal routine. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level! I grew up with dogs and cats and have experience with pets of all sizes and ages (from puppies/kittens to seniors), so I’m comfortable adjusting my approach based on energy level, temperament, and any special needs. For every service, safety and consistency come first: I follow your instructions closely, keep feeding and potty schedules on track, and make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, play, and calm companionship. I love long walks and outdoor time for dogs who enjoy exploring, and I’m equally happy providing quieter care for pets who prefer a slower pace. I’m comfortable administering oral medications as directed and supporting pets with health-related routines. If I’m caring for pets in your home (drop-ins, walks, or house sitting), I treat your space with respect, keep things tidy, and aim to keep your pet’s day feeling as normal as possible. When house sitting, pets aren’t left alone for more than 4 hours. In my home (boarding or daycare), pets get a calm, attentive environment with plenty of supervision, affection, and structured breaks, and I only take pets I can safely and comfortably care for. Throughout every booking, I provide regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and in good hands.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, especially cats and dogs, so caring for them feels natural to me. I enjoy spending time with pets, giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and will always follow your pet’s routine and care instructions. I’ll treat your furry family member like they’re one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I work PRN, which allows me to make my own hours. I occasionally work overnight shifts, and on Mondays and Thursdays I help with shipment at a clothing store from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. Outside of those times, I have a flexible schedule and can plan around pet care. I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive care and will make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and love they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I always respect your space and follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll follow any instructions you leave, including medications, feeding schedules, or special care needs. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind.
About: I am a dog lover and I’m comfortable with all breeds. I had multiple pets including a dog and cat that I took care of growing up. I currently have no pets but have recently taken care of friends’ dogs. This has included overnight and daytime boarding at my house while taking care of all walking, playing, and feeding needs. I’m currently working PRN (part time) as a physical therapist and I have a lot of flexibility and freedom in my schedule. I’m looking to fill some of this free time with something that I’ve always enjoyed, taking care of pets. I am trustworthy, clean, and respectful of others homes when entering to care for their pets. I am happy to walk your dog wherever they normally like to go around your home.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you are looking for someone to trust completely with your fur babies, look no further than Morgan — she is absolutely exceptional! We were away for two full weeks on an international trip to Dubai and Egypt, and the only reason we could truly relax and enjoy every moment of our travels was knowing that Zack and Gia were in Morgan's loving, capable hands. That peace of mind is priceless. Morgan didn't just "watch" our dogs — she genuinely cared for them as if they were her own. Two weeks is a long time to be away from your pets, and she made the whole experience seamless and stress-free. We came home to two happy, healthy, well-loved pups who were clearly comfortable and content the entire time we were gone. Her communication was top-notch — responsive, reassuring, and she kept us updated without us ever having to wonder how Zack and Gia were doing. That level of attentiveness says everything about her dedication and professionalism. Morgan is warm, trustworthy, and truly passionate about the animals in her care. She has earned a client for life, and we cannot recommend her highly enough. If you want your pets treated like royalty while you're away, Morgan is your person — 10 out of 10, without hesitation!”
About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats of all ages since the age of nine. My son is 13 and a very big cat lover! He will not be assisting with pet care, but does reside in the home. We have two cats Everest(8) and Harley(5), and one dog Layla(1). Our home features two large automatic litter boxes, one 5ft scratching post with other small ones throughout the home, enrichment toys, beds, pet blankets, and two filtered water fountains available 24 hours a day. Both cats are on feeding schedules, so your baby will also need to be on a schedule- we can discuss what times work best for your pet! Layla is crate trained and does not free roam without supervision. We also have a spare bedroom for pets that need some time to adjust or need more space away from all the uncertainties of a new home. We will treat your baby like our own and accommodate, so they can feel at ease! *Currently taking the month of September off from my primary job, so will be entirely available for bookings through Rover. I work 4-5 days a week, 5-6 hour days. My schedule can be altered as needed because my pets are just as important as any other family member. My pets are very well cared for and prioritized just as any living being should be. They are treated with kindness and care with regular checkups and special care catered to their individual personalities.
“Talaya took excellent care of Duke, walks and enrichment activities. I think he’s disappointed she wasn’t back again today! Looking forward to the next trip knowing he’ll be in great hands. 🐾💜”
About: My family has tradition of owning pugs and now I own my own pet. I've always been around animals from in my own home to looking after my friends pets. I have taken care of labs, poodles and collies to name a few breeds I have dog sat for. I have the patience, friendliness and responsibility to take care of any breed, age, gender and size. I look forward to making new canine friends and believe it will be mutual.
“So grateful for Alexandria stepping in for us over and over and love on our pups. Even with last minute plans, she has been always so professional and accommodating.”
“5 Stars – Consistently Excellent Dog Sitter! This was the second time Tony has looked after our two Labrador Retrievers, and once again, he was fantastic! It’s such a comfort knowing our dogs are in caring, capable hands while we’re away. Tony clearly has a great rapport with our Labs—they were thrilled to see him again, which says everything. He kept up with their routines, gave them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and sent regular updates and photos that put our minds at ease. We also came home to a spotless house and two happy, relaxed dogs. Tony continues to go above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more grateful. He’s dependable, respectful, and treats our dogs like his own. We highly recommend Tony and will absolutely be booking him again! ⸻”

Jessica was awesome! She clearly has a genuine love of animals and nature. We had a unique situation where we were vacationing in the area. Jessica was flexible to meet our unique needs on short notice and even provided local recommendations for things to do. She was super attentive to our pets and is a lovely person. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,002 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Capeville. 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 Capeville 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 Capeville 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 Capeville 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 Capeville. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
