“As always Cheryl does an amazing job with our pups. They are happy and healthy when we return and she offers us constant peace of mind with all her update and photos. She is a perfect sitter!”
About: What sets me apart from everyone else is that I’m calm and patient with every animal, and I’m very for keep my own animals fit and health, I will do the same for your I currently work from home and have more time to do drop ins and boardings. I don’t mind doing work from home from your home as well, just need to know in advance I am currently in the process of getting a fence put in, so I have plenty of space for your pup to run around in. I also have plenty of toys, due to having a German Sheppard mix
“Zach was a hero for us when a sitter canceled last minute. He took the time to understand and love on our big, shy dog and was able to get good morning cuddles from her by the end of his stay. I would highly recommend him, great communicator, wonderful pictures, and I do believe the house was cleaner than when I left! Yay ZACH!”
“We’ve never had any sitter as great as Melissa! She’s very good with our dogs. She’s very knowledgeable with what she’s doing and followed all care instructions for our pups. She kept our house clean and our dogs happy. She updated us with lots of pictures and she let us know if she needs to go somewhere and for how long. Which I really appreciate. She’s polite and very sweet! I would definitely book her services again and will totally recommend her.”
About: I used to work at an dog and cat boarding facility. I am also a student at Fayettville State University. I absolutly adore animals. I have 3 of my own, They are a german shepherd, austrailian Shepherd, and a chihuahua. So I do have and active life style with the 2 larger dogs. But my little dog is a couch potato, so I tend to slow things down for him. So no matter how big, small, entergetic, or couch potato they are I can always live up to their lifestyle. I am available anytime. If I am not available I’ll message you if it does not work for my schedule. But it is rare for me to be busy. I would be more than happy to take your puppy out on a walk or taking out to go potty. I can also feed them and give them fresh water. If they need time to interact with somebody I can sit and play with them. If there is special request, just ask away I would be more than happy to try.
About: I am a work from home mom who loves pet sitting. I started this journey a few years ago, and has had the privilege of hosting several dogs of all ages, personalities and sizes. My children absolutely love animals, especially dogs, so there will be lots of cuddles and love from us. I take dog sitting very seriously, so I am very careful, and I always aim to please my pet parents, so I am always sending pictures, videos, and making sure your baby is happy and well taken care of. I am big on staying fit and healthy, so I take daily walks to get my steps in. I am very accommodating, so nothing is ever too much for me. I’ve had pet parents ask me to scramble eggs for their fur babies and put it on top of their dog food, and I’ve also had pet parents tell me to only feed their fur baby with a spoon, so please don’t hesitate to ask for any special request, because I aim to please! I work from home during the week and I have lots of down-time allowing me to interact and play with your fur baby . I am off during weekends and holidays I have a big house with an unfenced yard, and a loving family that will play and love on your fur baby. We will take daily walks, play outdoors, and have lots of play time and cuddles.
About: I’m currently a veterinarian assistant who has a Great Pyrenees, German Shepherd, Tortishell Kitty, and a cute little bearded dragon. I’m experienced with administering medications and basic grooming. I’m a firm believer that all fur and furless babies deserve love and respect and I treat them all like my very own. I am a full time Veterinarian Assistant during weekdays, but I can still swing by and say hi to the little babies. I can board or home visit anytime during the weekends! I have a fenced in yard and a sweet German Shepherd who LOVES playing with pups and is extremely gentle with kitties. I also have the ability to keep pups or cats that might not be too happy with another dog in a separate area. I enjoy recording most of my interactions with fur babies and sending the videos to you!
“Nick was amazing with our dogs and kept them well exercised and taken care of. He also took great care of our house and upon getting home, we arrived to a very clean house. Will definitely rebook Nick for future dog sitting!”

I have two rescue dogs of my own and i train, bathe, feed, walk, play with, and cuddle them. I also keep freshwater fish and houseplants. I care for my dogs by walking them about 7 times a day, breakfast and dinner on a schedule, and playtime and cuddles are prioritized when i am home from work.

I keep treats on me to encourage and reward good behavior.
“Ally was WONDERFUL! She came by early for a meet and greet which we always appreciate. She was kind enough to check on our cats and fish all while taking wonderful care of our dog. She left our home in excellent shape and went above and beyond to communicate. I could truly tell my pup was happy with her! 10/10 recommend and we will be grateful to have Ally watch our animals again!”
About: Hello, and thank you for viewing my pet sitting profile! My name is Tristanee and I have been caring for pets all my life. A little bit about me is, I love meeting new people and learning from new experiences and all beings especially animals! What I tend to often learn from animals is compassion, they share their affection and kindness to others energies who they may not even be familiar with. Through this I’ve gained an awareness to energy and how it important it is when caring for pets. Although, they may not communicate the same way we do, they still communicate and express themselves through their behaviors and energy. We can really understand the emotions and necessities of our beautiful pets when we allow for their energy to show and act in alignment with them. This what I value the most in pet care, attentiveness and routine. Through my experience of pet care, I have learned the importance of a comfortable routine and the ability to provide comfort and support not by assuming but through what your pet may be telling you. If your pet is best on a routine and attentive based care, it sounds like alignment to me! How I have learned this is from my childhood dogs. I have had the opportunity to watch two German Shepards grow from puppies to beautifully mature adults. As for my current dog, Princess, a tiny Shih-Tzu, Yorkie mix who I have been caring for for 13 years! I loved watching after my dogs, playing with them, walking them, and even observing them. As they got older and as I did too, I became more aware of the importance of attention they deserve from young to even a mature age. It wasn’t until last year when I started my walking and sitting journey with my current client, a Siberian Husky! A beautiful and energetic dog that inspired me to share this love and care with others especially with your pets! Throughout this time, I have learned how to properly provide through routine, affection, and attention! I have also learned how to administer oral medication and groom! I have experience and the tools to bath and groom smaller dogs but I would love to expand my knowledge with more pets! Thank you again for your time and consideration! If you feel aligned with me, I know for certain that I am aligned with you and your pets care and need! I hope to hear from you soon! My availability is open for your pets needs! I am very open to working around your schedule and pet needs as my availability is flexible! If your curious on more details for my sitting availability feel free to let me know what you’re looking for to help you! I value understanding the dynamics of the home and routine of my clients and their pets. Safety and comfort is my priority when it comes to the pets I sit. Expressing how you communicate and portray your care to your pet allows me to understand what best works for your pets to feel comfortable and confident in their own environment! Routine is an essential when I provide any care for pets, all details are entirely important to me so please share all that you can about providing and sitting for your lovely pets!

Thanks for stopping by look forward to taking care of your fur baby Work from home so I have plenty of time for walks and play time.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 356 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Castalia. 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 Castalia 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 Castalia 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 Castalia 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.
