“We had Angelica house sit our 2 labs and 2 cats and she was wonderful! The animals were loved and well cared for and our house was just as we left it. Highly recommend. We already have her booked for another stay:)”
“Isabella was wonderful with Onyx and Duke during their 9-day stay at home! She was caring, reliable, and kept us updated while we were away. She was especially patient with Onyx, who can be shy and hide from new people. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and really appreciated how comfortable she made us feel while we were away. We would absolutely book with Isabella again!”
“Vivien did an excellent job caring for my aging feline on the 4th of July when I had to be away from her. Throughout the evening of fireworks explosions, Vivien kept my Kitty calm and soothed her so that she felt safe. She stayed with her overnight and left when all was well the next morning. The peace of mind this gave me was tremendous. Her communication with me was excellent and she left my home in the same great condition that she found it. I definitely recommend Vivien for you Feline or Canine pet sitting needs and for overnight stays if necessary. I will definitely be calling on Vivian again for her pet care services.”
“Aunya watched my dog for me while I was out of town. My dog is an anxious rescue, and Aunya did so well with her! I’m glad I could have someone trustworthy and reliable to care for my fur baby.”
“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.”
“Emma was great staying at our house and watching our dogs and cat. She was very communicative and respectful of our home. Our babies were very comfortable and felt very loved with her.”
“Megan was incredible in every aspect of taking care of our 1-year old mini schnauzer, Tater Tot. She was so communicative and responsible in every way. She sent so many pictures and videos — it put us at ease! Her dog Murphy was the perfect companion for Tater, so well behaved and played super well with him. They ended up being such great buddies! Could not recommend Megan enough!”
About: Hi! I’m a homeschool mama to two kids, a small business owner, and a lifelong animal lover. My kids love animals and enjoy having furry friends around, too! Our home is a warm, family-centered place where pets are welcomed with plenty of love, attention, cuddles, and playtime. I provide a safe, loving, clean, and non-smoking home where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. ❤️ I have years of experience with pet sitting and house sitting through Rover, along with a lifetime of caring for my own pets since I was a little girl. Over the years, I’ve also had the opportunity to care for many friends’ and family members’ pets and can provide references upon request. I’ve also cared for several special-needs dogs and am comfortable administering medications and following individual care routines. We understand how much your pets mean to you because they’re family to us, too. We’ll follow their routines, give them lots of affection, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can enjoy some peace of mind while your pets are in our care. 🐶🐱💕 Come as a guest, leave as family. 🐾 I’m a homeschool mama, so I’m home most of the day and have plenty of flexibility to give pets the attention and companionship they need. I’m able to work walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, cuddles, and medication into our daily schedule without pets being left alone for long periods. Our family genuinely enjoys having animals around, so caring for pets feels like a natural part of our everyday life. 🐾❤️ Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine. In my home, pets are welcomed as part of the family and receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, meals, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their usual routine and instructions closely, while also keeping their home clean and secure. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know your pets are happy and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾❤️

Recently retired, giving me a lot of availability to meet your schedules.

“Shelby was incredibly responsive and sent us so many pictures and videos while she was with Rocky! She gave him lots of love, and attention. She went above and beyond to care for our baby and even volunteered to take him on walks even though he can be a bit reactive sometimes. Best dog sitter we’ve ever had for our anxious dog. We highly recommend!!”
About: Hi I’m Sarah! I’ve have experience caring for dogs of all personalities. My family has had dogs growing up and I’ve been dog sitting for 6 years now. I’m a huge animal lover, and always try to make sure your pup follows a similar routine to what they’re used to. 💗 I work full time during the week, am home on Fridays, and available on weekends for boarding, providing a calm and attentive environment for your dog. I have a fenced yard and a golden retriever mix who loves to play and socialize! I can easily crate your dog if that’s a part of their routine.
“Great, straightforward, to the point! Karmen quickly said yes to my booking, was easy to plan a meet and greet with, and fulfilled my request of checking in on Scout 3x/day! Would recommend!”
“Danielle loves our critters while we are away. We came home to a happy house. Dogs and cats were friendly and glad to see us. We are grateful for Danielle. We plan our trips when she is available.”
About: I'm the pet sitter I would like to have. While you are away or at work, they are my responsibility and I care for them like my own. My job is to keep people from feeling anxious or guilty and I do that by caring for their pets while keeping them involved and informed. * Serving Redstone Arsenal * Discount for pets in the County Line area. Rover fits with my lifestyle and I do it full-time. I have regular clients who need pet care while they work and I care for other pets whose people are out of town. Lately, I've been specializing in shy/fearful animals. I wear pheromones (the smell mamas make to tell puppies and kittens everything is okay) like a teenage boy wears Axe body spray. I bring special treats and music developed for pets using neuroscience. And we will take things at the pet's pace. I've done some creative things trying to get pets to eat or come back inside. Unless there is a medical or safety need, everything I do is reward-based and force-free.
About: I have 15+ years of experience caring for cats and dogs of all breeds and personalities. As a former AKC conformation and lure coursing competitor, I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to shy or reactive pets. I share my home with four cats, including rescues, so I understand animals with unique needs. I offer calm, patient, and reliable care—no breed or size restrictions, just a focus on safety, trust, and comfort. Most pets, if asked, would prefer to stay home rather than go to a boarding kennel while you are gone. They are in their own home, eating their familiar food from their regular bowl, playing in their own yard, sleeping on their favorite bed or couch. My goal as a pet sitter is to keep your pet healthy, happy, and safe so you can enjoy your time away from home. I visit your home at least twice a day, feeding, checking water bowls, petting and loving, supervising exercise and play time, and handing out treats. I am especially good with senior dogs and have experience getting even difficult dogs to take medications. I also do things like collect mail or newspapers and turn lights on and off so that it looks like someone is around. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work part-time and attend classes two nights a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daytime visits, walks, and overnight care. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, making sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and affection. Caring for animals is one of the best parts of my week—it’s grounding, rewarding, and something I truly enjoy. I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed by maintaining their normal routines. In your home, I follow your feeding, walking, and playtime schedules closely and keep things calm for shy or anxious pets. In my home, animals have a quiet, supervised space, enrichment toys, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s medication, training, or extra snuggles, I tailor care to each pet’s personality and needs.
About: I have been around dogs since forever! From working at a doggy daycare, to petsitting, to grooming! I will give the best care for your furbabies :) I am fully committed to petsitting so no jobs get in the way and my schedule is fully open. My dog can come with me when I pet sit, and she loves playing with other dogs, if you're not comfortable with that, that's ok too! I make sure every pet gets plenty of love, attention, and care. I will care for your pets by watching them, loving them, feeding them and taking them outside to potty and play however so often needed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Capshaw
Madison was absolutely wonderful. She is by far the best sitter we have had for our baby. She took very good care of our little princess and provided updates and photos to make us feel comfortable. She also took care of the home while we were away which was a wonderful bonus. We will definitely be booking Madison again. Highly recommend!
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 of House Sitting in Capshaw is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $91 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 Capshaw. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
