“Angelica is the one you need. She was wonderful with my four fur babies! She has a peaceful and calm energy that everyone appreciates. She communicates very well, is prompt, thorough, and above all genuinely cares. I felt completely comfortable leaving my house and babies in her care. I will be booking with her in the future! I can't recommend her enough 🫡🙂😇”
“Madison is AMAZING. She is just a great person who took care of my babies and my home just as I would. We have never left our cats alone overnight but circumstances caused the need to be gone for 8 days - to say I was nervous about how the babies were going to be is an understatement. Madison made sure they were taken care of and sent so many pictures and videos and updated us numerous times to let us know how everyone was doing. This is my first experience using Rover and I'm so happy I did. I love my friends, but no way they would have taken care of cats like Madison did. I feel like I can actually travel now as long as Madison is free to take care of everything for me ❤️”
“My second time using Austin as a petsitter and he did a fantastic job! My pups were happy and healthy when I returned home and he kept in touch while I was gone and provided regular updates. I will definitely be using Austin again!”
“Meghan was great! We loved getting the pictures and updates on our doggos throughout the week. She was super communicative and we could tell that our dogs both loved her. Would have her back anytime!”
“Jennifer did a good job taking care of our pets and was very communicative. She did a few things that were above-and-beyond which was really appreciated for such a short trip.”
“Connor has taken care of Jax numerous times. Each time, Connor loves on him, takes pictures of him, and takes him on walks just like I would. My pup is my baby, and while I hate leaving him, I know he is always spoiled and loved when I leave him with Connor. I couldn't ask for a sweeter person to care for Jax. You can also count on Connor to take great care of your home. He knocks out small items effortlessly. However, this past trip, I was in the middle of selling my house. Connor helped me with the entire process while he stayed! He prepped the house each day for showings and it remained immaculate.”
“Maria took excellent care of my babies and house. She provided daily updates with pictures. My house was left in perfect condition. I would definitely recommend her and will be using her for future visits.”
“Stephen is awesome! He was able to accommodate us even though it was very short notice. We have 2 dogs, a small Maltese and a big Weimaraner. The big one can be imposing when you walk through the door and she barks at you with her hair standing on its ends, but Stephen immediately sat in the floor and let her get it all out of her system without a flinch. He knows how to put the pups at ease! My wife works from home and the dogs are used to someone always being there, Stephen is the first sitter we’ve had (and we’ve tried out several) that showed up with a suitcase! We knew immediately that this guy was what we have been searching for, someone that would basically live in our home while we were away with the sole purpose of watching over our furbabies. And he did his job impeccably! He sent lots of pics and video without us having to ask and was always prompt with a response if we ever needed him. When we returned home the house was still tidy and in order and I’m pretty sure the dogs looked past us trying to figure out where Stephen was, LOL. If you need a drop in visit or someone to come by and walk your dogs this guy can do it all and I promise your pets will look forward to him returning, and if you need someone that will basically live in your home with your furry loved ones while on vacation then look no further you have found the pinnacle of dog sitting! We will definitely use Stephen for any dog sitting needs we have in the future.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was young. I don't currently have any pets as my and cats have crossed the rainbow bridge in the last 2 years.I love meeting new dogs and cats and love to respectfully greet pets who are out and about. I currently work full time during the day but am off on Saturdays and Sundays. I am available afternoons and weekends to accommodate weekend and evening visits. I understand that not all pets are social towards strangers both human and furry. I will take very good care to respectfully visit with your pet and care for them like my own.
About: I have been trusted to take care of my family and friends’ pets since I have had my own car. Now that I’m old enough I want to start looking after other people’s pets more because they say do what you love. I can’t have any dogs in my own household so I want to take care of other people’s babies the best that I can. I’ve taken off work this summer so aside from picking up some shifts here and there I’m free to love on some pets! I have a couple vacations planned, but I’ll just sit around those. I follow specific instructions and say with the pets as long as my schedule allows. I love to send pictures of the pets for their owners because I know how much I would miss my baby. I make sure I have eyes on the pets before I leave so I don’t close them in a room and notify parents of any weird behavior.
“Ren was very accommodating and took great care of our fur babies. Very thorough and she asked a lot of questions before booking. Highly recommend and we can’t wait to book her again!”
“Does a great job! Very professional and communicates to my comfort level that I never have to guess if everything is alright. I have used her services many times and will continue to book because she treats my Kingston so great! I think he loves her more than me at times because she spoils him so much. It’s great to have someone look after him and treat him so well that his care is never a stressor for me when I travel. I know he’s going to have a wonderful time with her.”
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in both group and individual settings. I regularly cared for up to 7 dogs at one home, managing feeding schedules, outdoor time, and making sure each dog got attention and proper care. I also have experience with overnight pet sitting, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away, as well as taking dogs on walks and keeping them active. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, routines, and personality, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being I currently work and babysit, but I maintain a flexible schedule and can adjust my availability as needed. I’m able to plan ahead and make time for pet care, including walks, drop-ins, and over nights as needed! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to understand each pet’s routine, behavior, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and cared for. I create a calm, clean, and safe environment, and I’m attentive during walks and visits to prevent any sticky situations. I follow all owner instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), and preferred routines. I also provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect—just like they’re my own.
“Colleen filled in at practically the last minute and we are so grateful. Clover, Loki, and Harley had a wonderful peaceful time with her while we were gone for the day. I highly recommend her and we'll be booking her again in the near future!”
“I was very nervous about having a stranger stay in my home, so usually boarded Sage in the home of strangers. It was very stressful for both of us. I’m extremely pleased that I put my trust in Abby to stay with Sage. She took such good care of Sage and my home. Sage has shown no signs of stress since I got home, and that makes my heart feel warm and full. I now know next time I travel, Sage will be in good hands with Abby, and I can rest easy while I’m away. I will definitely use Abby again in the future.”
“Christina was so wonderful! She stayed in our home for a full week and took great care of our dog. She reached out with pictures and updates and left our house exactly how she found it if not cleaner! We really appreciate it”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Capshaw
Madison did a fantastic job caring for my two pets for overnight boarding in my home. She sent pictures of them and provided comments about how they were doing. House was tidy when I came home and she even took out my garbage. I already booked with Madison for two other upcoming trips!
This was our first time having someone house-sit and care for our dogs, and Carson did an excellent job. He went above and beyond to take care of them, provide us with updates, and keep the house clean. We really appreciated the peace of mind while we were on our family trip. Highly recommend Carson!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Capshaw on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 376 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Capshaw. 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 Capshaw 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 Capshaw 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 Capshaw 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.

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.
