“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 was a great sitter and house guest. He was consistent with sending us updates and photos and made sure our dog was comfortable while we were out of town. He was respectful of our home and left it nice and clean. Will be booking again!”
“Meghan was amazing. She took on sitting Smoke very last minute and did not disappoint. Smoke is special needs pit bull and needs special person to care for him in my absence. I did not have to worry about his care while I was out of state! She sent a lot of pics and videos. Meghan exceeded expectations and I will use her again if she is available.”
“I would recommend Madison to anyone! She is amazing - super communicative, great care for our two dogs, also nice to have in our home. She went above and beyond for our dog that was on medicine and had to wear a cone during her stay.”
“Eva took great care of our two large dogs during our weekend trip! One of our dogs is more skeptical of new people and barks a lot, Eva befriended her anyway! We received a lot of pictures and communication about the pups. If you’d like to come home to a clean house and happy dogs, Eva is your girl!”
“Nyah was absolutely wonderful with our baby. She stayed in our home and left everything in impeccable condition. She was communicative and very accommodating when our travel back home was delayed by the airline. She spent extra time with Zuri so that we didn't have to worry about her as we were trying to figure out how to get home sooner. I would recommend her to anyone in need of someone kind, considerate and great with animals. Will definitely book with Nyah again.”
“Ashley is such a warm & caring individual! She looked after our home & furbabies while we were away. Ashley was very communicative, as well as responsive, during our lengthy absence. She is extremely trustworthy & attentive. Our dogs love her! ❤️”
“Zeughanna was wonderful! Very responsive and respectful. She sent pictures of my dog each day, and answered any questions. She left our house incredibly clean too which is always a nice touch. ☺️”
“Connor was a fantastic dog sitter. The meet and greet went very well and he asked a lot of good questions about my fur baby. Throughout my time out of town, I consistently received pictures and updates to put me at ease. I will definitely be seeking him out again specifically for in house dog sitting. I highly recommend Connor”
“Colleen was amazing. Onyx loved her and seemed almost upset when I came home since he enjoyed his time with her. He did great with her and keeping him at home while I went away did him good because he was able to keep his normal routine. 10/10 would recommend her and will for sure use her again!”
“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!”
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.
“This is the first time I've ever needed to hire a pet sitter for my senior cat, so I was very nervous about having a stranger in my home and how my fur baby would react. However, Jennifer eased my mind about the whole process. She was understanding and communicative, which was greatly appreciated. This was just an an overnight trip, but she will be taking care of him again soon when I'll be gone longer. It's such a relief to know I can get some R&R knowing that my pet and my home are in good hands. ?”
“Abby did a great job watching my dog! We had a chance to meet beforehand & she and my dog got along immediately. It is clear she’s a caring person and it’s important to her to take good care of the animals she’s agreed to walk & watch. I came home to a dog and a house that were both just as I’d left them, it all went wonderfully! Thanks Abby!”
“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”
“Aunya was fantastic. She made sure all four dogs were well taken care and even cleaned up as she left the house. She was very responsive and provided check-ins. I would definitely let her take care of my wild pack any time!”

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Capshaw
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.
