“Angelica was great with our pups and our home. Excellent messages/updates/pictures. Walks were good exercise, not just a quick walk for them to pee. We’re looking forward to having her back.”
“Austin is meticulous, detailed and honest. He took care of my pups (Juneau and Denali) during a long international work trip and I was impressed by the care and attention he gave my pups. I will most definitely use Austin again since I know my dogs will be well cared for and I can't ask for anything more.”
“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”
“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 recently had Meagan take care of my home and three dogs for 10 days, for an unexpected, last-minute trip and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was professional, communicative, and clearly loves animals. My dogs, who can be difficult around new people, eventually warmed up to her, and it was clear they were in great hands. Meagan kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind. When I returned, the house was spotless, and my dogs were happy and well-cared-for. I highly recommend Meagan to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy house and pet sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to her for future trips!”
“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.”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Belen\! She stayed with our fur babies while we were away in NYC for a week, and having her there gave us such peace of mind\. We have three very different pets with their own routines and personalities, including an elderly dog who requires a little extra patience and care\. Belen handled everything beautifully\. She followed all of our instructions, kept everyone happy and well cared for, and treated our babies and our home as if they were her own. Being that far away from home, it meant so much to know that we didn’t have to worry about the animals\. I knew they were safe, comfortable, loved, and in great hands\. We came home to happy fur babies and a home that had been very well cared for. Belen is dependable, trustworthy, kind, and clearly has a genuine love for animals\. I would absolutely trust her with our pets again and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone to care for their animals\. Thank you, Belen, for taking such wonderful care of Ace, Max, and Ponchita while we were off having our NYC adventure\! 🐶🐶🐱❤️ You made it possible for us to enjoy our trip knowing our little crew was safe at home.”
“So thankful for Jenna. She took wonderful care of my dog and 2 cats. She was pleasant, punctual, communicative, and patient! My dog has some quirky habits and she was so good with her. She was very respectful of my house and kept it neat and clean. I would highly recommend Jenna.”
“Josue was amazing with our Malamute during a 2 week trip! Malamutes can be a difficult breed but our pup took to Josue immediately. Josue took great care of our dog and house while we were gone, and we will happily work with him again for any future travel!”
“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: I trained my puppy to be a therapy dog for a year during which he got certified and volunteered in schools, and nursing homes. Ive trained all our pets on potty training and other basic training required. I have grown up with pets my entire life, including cats, dogs, lizards, rodents, and birds. I work during the week from 8-4, and have full availability during the weekend.I intend to give the best care with my free time, this includes daily walks, play time, and cuddle time, if the pet enjoys that. On a professional level I have worked previously at an animal shelter as a vet assistant so I am familiar with basic animal care. As for my personal life, I care for the pets in my home or clients home by walking them at least once a day, taking them outside every 2-3 hours depending on their needs. I also clean their environment, whether that be a cage or a living room and of course feed them. I also like to make sure the pet is happy while in my care, therefore I provide any social or physical activities they enjoy. I care for my clients pets the way I would want someone to care for mine.
About: Not only do I have a personal connection with all animals I treat them as if they are my children I study animal science so I know a lot more about animals then most . I recently also had experience being a veterinary assistant so my knowledge is even more broad Except Tuesday I’m free to play and care of your pets ,, dog and cat friendly neighborhood and quiet neighborhood … I will make sure your pet is well fed and loved The place I’m in is pet friendly and there is even a pet park for them to roam around and in your home I will respect your wishes
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.
“Jess did a great job with our babies as we traveled for work. I ak also grateful for her care of our home. It really helps our anxiety leaving the pups. We absolutely recommend Jess. 😀😀😀”
About: I have grown up in a home with cats and dogs. I love animals! I have taken care of my own for very long. I have personally trained my puppies growing up (potty training & tricks). I was in charge of changing litter boxes, cleaning the backyard, feeding the pets, and giving treats. I have also cared for older doggies that need extra love and attention. Anything that you can think of, I've done! I currently have a 3 yr old (Golden Doodle/ Irish Wolf Hound Mix), 2 cats, and a 11 month old (black lab/pit mix) It is in my nature to care for animals and treat any animal I meet as my own :) I am currently working full-time but my nights and weekends have availability depending on what’s needed. I do have flexibility to stay in your home for pet sitting but would need more advance notice on those situations I have a fenced in backyard. Not currently watching pets in my home! All I ask is there is are written instructions discussed prior that would help your pet stay on a routine with me!

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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Capshaw is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $89 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
