“I hope Stacy and her family are always available when we need help with our pets, because they put our minds at ease and took care of our fur babies with the greatest of care! We have had many people help us over the years with our pets and she outshined them all! Our pets loved her and I could feel how much she cared for them. Highly recommend!”
“We were really apprehensive since our regular pet sitter is no longer in the business. We had several meet & greets and our highly anxious senior fell in love with Jacqui and that was that. She stayed with him for a week at our house and a week later he is still looking for her (I guess that makes me happy, but I used to be top dog around here ?). She pampered him, played with him, and just generally loved on him. We got photos and he was clearly happy while we were gone. He barely noticed us when we came home. I suppose that's the highest praise of all. Our home was left clean, too. To top it off, Jacqui is just a really nice person. I highly recommend her. She's a true dog lover and very responsible in your home and with your babies.”
“Hailey took such good care of our boys and home. Our Labs can be a handful and she watched them with ease patience and took great care of them. Came home to happy boys. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter for your fur babies!”
“She did great watching our puppy and elderly dog in our home, followed my requests closely and sent me updates regularly. She even did some training with our puppy and cleaned up before she left. Thank you so much for the peace of mind!”
“I can't recommend Jeff enough! We have used him for several walks and used him for our first overnight. My 3 dogs absolutely adore him!! He is very pleasant to be around, clean, trustworthy, and very knowledgeable. We will definitely be using his services as long as we can. We truly can't thank you enough Jeff!!!”
“Sara has great communication and was very flexible when we arrived home later than expected. Our dog Luke appears totally unfazed that we left town and was kept very happy and safe.”
“Lilly was fantastic with our three dogs. Two of them are 15 y/o and needed a lot of personal attention - and she was terrific. The dogs all loved her, she stayed in touch with us and sent pictures. You know when you meet Lilly that you have a super dependable and kind person that will care for your pets like they were hers. The ratings only go up to '5' but she earned a '10'!!”
“Graham was fantastic. Very personable, great with our pup, Midna, and he's an excellent communicator. He showed up early to meet us and Midna immediately loved him. We felt very comfortable trusting him with our dog and our home. We will happily use Graham again, and highly recommend him to anyone who wants someone trustworthy and kind to watch their pup. (Thanks Graham!)”
“Always a pleasure having Cat watch our pups - our 2 dogs love her. We also really appreciate that she leaves the house clean just as we left it. Very kind and considerate - highly recommend!”
“Kaitlin was an amazing sitter! She followed all of our instructions, took great care of our dog and home, and kept us updated while we were away. We came home to a clean house with a detailed note of everything she had done before she left. Kaitlin is very sweet and thoughtful, she also left us some homemade baked goods. Kaitlin truly went above and beyond. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her!”
“I hired Crystal to take care of my 3 dogs so I could finally take my daughter on vacation. It was “trust at first sight” and I knew she would be amazing to my 3 weirdo doggies! She took great care of them and I didn’t have a panic attack once thinking my dogs were not getting the attention they needed. They got all the attention and love they needed. When I came back home, my house was clean and my dogs were happy! They missed me, but they were not stressed at all. If you need someone that you can fully trust to take amazing care of your dogs and home, then Crystal is the person for you! I can’t begin to put into words how much I appreciate her. I absolutely adore her and so do my dogs! She is great at communicating. She is just wonderful human being!”
About: Together, we have over 4 years of experience working with dogs. We share one of our own, focusing on obedience, mental stimulation, and keeping her active. We understand that walks are more than just exercise, they offer engagement and enrichment! We prioritize enjoyable walks that keep dogs physically active while reinforcing good behavior. With patience, consistency, and a deep love for dogs, we ensure every walk is not just a routine, but a rewarding experience for your dog! Our schedules are pretty open as we both completed our degrees from Cal State Long Beach. Either one of us will should be available for your requested time! Caring for your dog and providing a safe environment is number our one priority! With a dog of our own, we ensure that she is mentality stimulated and physically challenged all while making the walk an enjoyable activity. We would give your dog the same attention and treatment as we give our own!
“Viviana and her mom took great care of Sunday, and I felt completely at ease while she was with them. They kept me updated, and it made me so happy to know she had other dogs to play with, while also getting plenty of rest. They even made sure she ate, since she was having so much fun with her new friends that she would sometimes forget. Thank you both for taking such good care of my girl. We’d be happy to leave Sunday with you again!”
“Kimberly did a great job. She had to manage two large dogs over three days. The house and the pups were well cared for. I asked Kimberly to abide by some fairly strict rules with the dogs in order to manage their high-energy and potential anxiety and she did an excellent job. Kimberly have our pups multiple daily walks, administered pet medication, and maintained the security of the house. I strongly recommend Kimberly for your pet/house sitting needs.”
“Alyssa took great care of our two goldens, she provided lots of updates and pictures. She did great with handling their medicine routines and both dogs were very comfortable with her. Thanks Alyssa!!”
“One of the best sitters in the area! I’m so glad we chose Shane to care for our two dogs when we were on vacation in Europe. He sent us daily updates, left the house clean, and was paying a lot of attention to the details since my dogs require some extra care. Highly recommend!”
About: I am a very patient pet lover with 10+ years experience working with dogs! I have been pet sitting for around 5 years now through word of mouth and am excited to build a bigger community on Rover. I am comfortable and experienced being around all dogs ranging from 5lbs to over 100lbs, I am willing and able to adapt to any of your pets needs. This includes (but is not limited to) simple tasks such as feeding, lots of playing, walking, exercising, following specific schedules etc. but also includes administering medicine, simple training and any kind of clean up! (I’ve seen it all!) At the end of the day I really look forward to bringing you and your pet as much comfort as possible while you’re apart:) I have 2 dogs of my own and worked with dogs that deal with anxiety and some reactive behaviors so I feel well prepared to be there for all babies. I also understand how meeting a new care giver can be scary for both the parent and our furry friends so any adjustment aid such as meeting before hand or going over their daily schedule I’m more than happy to do!:) Can’t wait to connect and care💕 I am a recent college grad and have most of this summer free!! I am happy to take on any work and look forward to being your reliable pet sitter:) My schedule is currently open! I care for pets through love, play and structure. Our fur babies won’t get away with anything but also need to be given understanding, lots of love and care. When it comes to caring for other peoples pets I make sure to give extra care as I’m sure they’re missing their family. I prefer to meet all families and pets beforehand to insure safety and a good fit!!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Castaic
Trinity came to our home to stay with our Luna girl while we were away for the holiday weekend. She was so compassionate and helpful when our dog became very frantic during several bouts of fireworks. During her stay, she was always very quick to respond to any texts, she kept our home super tidy, and she provided our dog with outstanding care. I would absolutely book with her again!
Danielle was the perfect match for my fur babies. She was calm, quiet, and unfazed, even when my one pup wouldn't stop barking at her. She has lots of experience with giving medications, and had no qualms caring for my dog who has seizures...administering medication 12 hours apart, and being comfortable assisting him if he had one (thankfully he didn't). Danielle had my critters feeling so comfortable that the barker even warmed up to her, and let her love on him, after just one overnight visit (that's saying a lot, since he doesn't warm up to many people). She took photos and shared them with me, and kept me up to date on how the animals were fairing. Not only did Danielle make sure my pets were well cared for, but she took time to care for my home, as well, by fixing a toilet that kept running...now that's great service! If you are looking for someone to house or pet sit, or both, you could not pick anyone better. She will be my go-to house/pet sitter from now on.

FAQs for House Sitting - Castaic
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Castaic on Rover is $69.93 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 4,664 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Castaic. 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 Castaic 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 Castaic 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 Castaic 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.
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.
