About: I love all animals and have a puppy of my own that I love to take on runs with me. My dog is my whole world and I would love to help others with their pets. I do work full time but am available for stop ins/walks during lunch time and plenty of play time after 5:30. I generally take my dogs on their walk around 6pm. I am able to board most weekends as well. I can easily crate pets if needed. I do not have a fenced in yard but have tie offs with long leashes. I have also near a school that has a fenced in yard that I and other neighborhood dogs use. For dogs, we will start with a walk to burn off some energy. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water and then we will enjoy more playtime. Throughout the day I’ll make sure they’re comfortable, well-fed and engaged. For cats, I’ll start by providing fresh food and water and spend time with interactive toys or quiet cuddles.
About: I’m a loving, dependable, and attentive pet sitter who treats every pet like they’re my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, energetic young pets, and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m also happy to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, potty routines, walks, and any special care your pet may need. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you peace of mind while they’re in my care. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry friend is doing! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for. I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including regular potty breaks, feeding, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I also love sending regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pet is doing well. I have a very clean house no smoking in the house I have a big yard in the front to play all day in. And my house is good enough space

About: I love animals and creating a safe environment for them. I have cared for animals as small as hamsters and as big as dogs, as well as special needs dogs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 219 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Castalia. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Castalia stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

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.
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.
