About: I love animals; always have! I used to come home from school and do homework in front of Animal Planet and when it wasn't doing that I was taking care of my neighbor's pets. Cats, dogs and horses and I looked forward to it every time. My responsibilities included walking, playing, feeding and even reading to them (which I have on good authority was very adorable). I'm very excited to take care of your fur babies for you! Fear Free Leader in Animal Wellbeing graduate. *Ask me about Active & Running services* **Ask me about Pet Portraiture Add-ons** I am currently taking online classes and looking forward to being with animals when I can part time. I am looking forward to meeting new pets and taking care of them in between bouts of homework and studying. I am available for most services! Including drop-in check-ins, letting dogs out to do their business or go on walks or play with your pets. I'm also available to pet-sit and keep them company while they relax in their space. After meeting your pets and learning their specific and unique needs, likes or dislikes, I am available to feed, walk, play most days.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter with 8 years of experience providing dependable, loving care for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I’ve cared for everything from playful puppies and curious kittens to senior dogs who need a little extra patience, comfort, and attention. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality, and needs, and I make it a priority to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Whether that means walks and playtime, feeding and medication routines, lots of cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’m happy to give your pets the personalized care they deserve. Your pets are family, and I treat them that way! My goal is to make your time away easier by giving you peace of mind knowing your furry friends are safe, loved, and well cared for. I currently work as a nanny, so I am free anytime during the week except for 11-6 Monday thru Friday. Saturdays & Sundays are fully open & available! When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I follow each pet’s feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and bedtime schedule as closely as possible so they feel safe and at ease in their familiar environment. I give plenty of attention, affection, and playtime while also respecting each pet’s individual personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies and kittens who need extra supervision, as well as senior dogs who may need a slower pace, additional patience, or special care. I also treat your home with the same respect I would my own. I keep things clean and tidy, make sure pets have fresh food and water, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pets are in good hands while you’re away.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs—five in total—ranging from tiny pups to large huskies, so I’m comfortable with pups of all sizes, ages, and energy levels. Over the years, I’ve pet-sat for neighbors, friends, and clients, handling everything from daily walks and playtime to feeding schedules and administering medication. I treat every dog like family and always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time and have a super flexible schedule, which means I’m available for morning, afternoon, or evening walks—whatever works best for you and your pet. Whether it’s a one-time need or a recurring routine, I’m happy to work around your schedule to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve. When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. I respect your space, keep things tidy, and always ensure your pet feels safe and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a short drop-in or an overnight stay, I treat your home and your pet like they’re my own.
About: I've been caring for pets for years through my own fur babies (6 year English Bull Dog named Maya and previously a 10 year old boxer named Sugar), as well as helping my friends and family with their fur babies while they're away or helping with walks. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable you can trust to care for pet, and I treat every fur baby with all the love as if they were my own. I'm comfortable and confident with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications if needed, and giving your fur baby plenty of love, attention, and updates while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, love, happy, and that you have the peace of mind knowing that they're in great hands while you're away. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of times with the pets I'm caring for. While I may occasionally leave for errands or appointments, I have the flexibility to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions you might have to help them feel comfortable while you're away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pets and home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. My goal is to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible and create a calm, safe environment where they can feel secure and happy until your return.

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!

About: Since I was a little kid I’ve always loved pets, I was always the girl whose friends and family say “aw he likes you! He doesn’t really like anybody” about their pets to me. I believe pets feed a lot off of energy and they tend to love me because I have a warm and inviting energy. Because of this friends, roommates and family have entrusted me to feed, clean after, and walk their pets. I’m also a big believer that your pets are like your family and should be treated as such - so I promise to give your furry humans the same care I would give my own pets if I had any myself - I will be like their favorite aunty! I work 40 hours a week during the day and run errands after work before going home to get ready for the next day so it would be best for my schedule to currently do over night sitting when I have the next day off or a few hours on my days off I currently rent a room here in the SCV so I cannot bring pets home..yet. However I am happy to take care of them over night or for a few hours a day in their home. I think that should help with any anxiety some pets may have over being in new places or their family being away for the time being - i believe it will make trust easier with them.
“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!”

“We’ve used Yessi multiple times and we continue to feel so comfortable having her in our home looking after Frankie. I definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a trusted sitter for your precious pup!”


“We will definitely hire Caitlyn again. She handled 4 senior dogs and 1 energetic five year old dog beautifully. The seniors all require medications, one needs insulin injections, so ya, she handled a lot, reported on how they were, walked them. We couldn’t be more pleased.”

About: I am not shy to large dogs or animals in general. I do not judge dogs based on size. All dogs deserve love no matter their looks, age, or size. I’ve had bully breeds all my life and have grown accustomed to being around them. Cats I just adore too, whether they’re cuddly, or shy, I’ll be sure to treat them with respect. One thing I can say for myself is that I hope you’re okay with me giving your pets treats! Please let me know what treats your pets enjoy and I will provide them. :) My schedule is flexible and very open at the moment, all I ask is that you request the day before. If it’s last minute request however I’m open to listening to you if you really need a last minute sitter as I know things happen. What I have always been taught is to leave a space cleaner than you found it. This also may include your pet if you would like them bathed I do not mind at all. If I was to stay overnight as well do not think for one second there would be a crumb left from myself. I do not believe in leaving trash or dishes in a sink, or making myself “too at home.” I have a lot of experience in housekeeping, as my friends and families typically ask me to watch their homes for them.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Trinity! She is such a caring person and so knowledgeable about animals. I was really worried about leaving our dog because she was just getting over vestibular disease. Trinity went about and beyond to take care of Bella even sleeping downstairs with her since she couldn’t make it up the stairs. She made sure we were aware of Bella’s condition the whole weekend and sent updates regularly. This is the second time we’ve used her for an overnight booking and both times went great! We’ve also have loved having her come by for walks now and again too. Highly recommended!”

About: Whenever family members or friends are away, they always ask me to pet sit. They have also recommended my services to neighbors and other people they know. I have experience taking care of cats, dogs, and fish. I work from 2:45 - 5:30 Monday through Thursday, and 2:45 - 4:00 on Fridays. I am available for morning to early afternoon care or any time after 5:30. I can take care of your pet's needs with my compassionate, patient, and attentive demeanor. I can provide structured walks and playtime based on your pet's routine and personality. I am a very adaptable person to new situations and can learn quickly.
“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.”

About: I’ve raised multiple dogs from puppies into adulthood, including both small breeds like corgis all the way up to large, high-energy dogs such as Belgian Malinois and Dutch Shepherds. Because of that, I have real hands-on experience with different temperaments—including dogs that can be reactive, sensitive, or need extra structure. What sets me apart is my ability to read behavior and stay calm in situations where other sitters might feel overwhelmed. I understand triggers, boundaries, and how to safely manage dogs that need more attention or careful handling. I’ve also cared for dogs in multi-dog households, so I’m used to balancing different personalities and preventing conflict. I’m comfortable with: • High-energy dogs that need consistent exercise • Puppies learning routines and boundaries • Reactive or easily overstimulated dogs • Crate training and structured environments • Feeding routines (including picky eaters) I focus on creating a safe, calm, and positive environment for every dog. Whether your dog needs playtime, structure, or just someone patient and attentive, I’ll make sure they feel secure and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I prioritize building my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need rather than rushing through visits. I also keep my availability updated and communicate clearly, so you always know when I’ll be there. Whether your dog needs consistent daily care or occasional help, I’m happy to work around your routine to make things as smooth as possible. I am also open to last-minute requests when available. I provide attentive, structured care with a strong focus on safety, consistency, and your pet’s overall well-being. Before any booking, I take the time to understand your dog’s routine, preferences, and any behavioral or medical considerations to ensure a seamless and stress-free experience. In your home, I maintain a respectful, professional presence and follow all care instructions with precision—feeding schedules, walk routines, crate use, and household expectations. I’m highly mindful of safety at all times, including secure leash handling, awareness of surroundings, and ensuring doors and gates are properly managed. I’m experienced with a wide range of temperaments, including high-energy and reactive dogs, and I approach each situation with calm, controlled handling. I prioritize avoiding overstimulation and maintaining an environment where your dog feels secure and at ease. If care is provided in my home, I offer a clean, calm, and well-managed space with close supervision. Dogs are introduced thoughtfully and can always be separated if needed to maintain a safe and comfortable environment. Communication is consistent and transparent—you’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in capable, attentive hands.

About: I have taken care of dogs of all sizes and all ages! I have some experience taking care of puppies/younger dogs. I’ll be your pets good friend :) I’m on summer break from university right now, but once I get started in classes again my availability is limited to the weekends. For now, I can work any day except Tuesdays and Thursdays. I can watch and take care of a pet in any circumstance. I am able to crate dogs too. I like to play with and bond with pets so they don’t get too bored.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, from small, medium, to big, so I’m comfortable with every size and personality. I have hands-on experience caring for seniors, including administering daily medications. Beyond senior needs, I'm also confident handling all daily duties like walks, backyard breaks, feeding, and playtime. Whatever you need, I will take care of! I’ve also sat for puppies, cats, and kittens, including two neighbor puppies and many family pets. Beyond that, I’ve grown up with almost every type of pet… fish, reptiles, amphibians, rodents, and more, I truly am a huge animal-lover at heart! Right now, I care for my senior dog, Roxy, and my cat, Sunny. I know how much your pets mean because mine are family too, and my main goal is to make their time with me fun, safe, and stress-free. I currently have a part-time job, however I can be pretty flexible and available, whether it be during the day time or for overnight stays. I care for pets right in your home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I’m open to most anything, like letting them outside, feeding on schedule, taking them on walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I’m happy to follow routines closely, send updates, and stick to any special instructions, including giving medication if needed. If your pet would feel better with more company, I can also stay overnight or spend the whole day with them there!!
About: I was born and raised from a dog lover household. I can’t remember a singular day we didn’t own a dog in our family. I currently have two dog sons, Oakley and Dez both pitbull mixed but I’ve owned from Rottweilers, yorkies, corgis and labradors! I can walk, feed, cuddle and play however you prefer. I know how important it is to keep them occupied while their owner is away and I’ll do absolute best to provide the same care! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. Whether you need a mid day stop by or a morning and night walk I can provide you with whatever you and your companion need. I can watch your pooches in the comfortable of their own environment. Or stop by whenever you need. Open to providing whatever you feel most comfortable with.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Castaic Junction is $70 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $78 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.
As of November 2026, there are 7,802 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Castaic Junction. 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 Junction 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 Junction 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 Junction 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 Castaic Junction. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
