About: I have cared for animals from hedgehogs to cats, dogs to fish, even chickens. I have helped raise puppies and kittens to at least 17yrs in age. Through this, I’ve cared for pets in all stages of life, including elderly and aging animals requiring daily administering of meds, and helping one of my pets relearn life as she has recently lost her sight. I understand the patience and care needed throughout the different stages of life, and truly strive to care for your pets as my own. Currently, my schedule is very flexible. I work part time as a private chef and can easily move things around. I am able to accept bookings in the morning, afternoons, or evenings. I do not care for clients pets in my own home, as I have too many of my own pets, including older ones with varying needs. In my clients home, I make sure to follow instructions and create a safe environment for their pets and care for them as if they were my own.
“Incredible cat care! I could not have asked for a better sitter. I was nervous to leave my cats home while I went away, but Nikki sent many photos and really showed that she was interacting/playing with my cats, which was super important to me. My cats warmed up to her in no time, even the shy one! I would book again in a heartbeat”
About: Hi! I’m Esme, a huge animal lover and proud pet parent. I have a Mini American Shepherd named Kita, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. While I adore dogs, I’m also a big cat lover! Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, chasing toys, or simply having someone keep them company while you’re away, I’m happy to provide the care and attention they deserve. I know every pet has their own unique personality, and I love taking the time to get to know them. From energetic pups to shy kitties, my goal is always to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and become their new bestie! 🐾💕 Animals are already a huge part of my life! As a dog mom to my Mini American Shepherd, Kita, pet care is built into my daily routine. My days are filled with walks, playtime, training, and lots of cuddles. I genuinely love spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels less like work and more like something I enjoy. Whether it’s a dog who loves adventure or a cat who just wants a quiet companion, I love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to the routines they’re familiar with, so I always try to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, meals, and, of course, lots of love. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and needs. Some pets love long walks and play sessions, while others prefer cuddles on the couch or a quiet companion nearby. I’m happy to adapt to what makes your pet feel most comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect both your pet’s routine and your home, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your furry family member is doing. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
“100/10 Morgan is amazing! If you're looking for a new sitter, LOOK NO FURHTER. Morgan was punctual, super helpful, and extremely sweet with the fur babies. The girls immediately fell in love with Morgan, and I knew they were gonna be happy any time she's around. Morgan is literally the best. Thank you so so so much for your help. ❤️”
“Ashley did an amazing job looking after my cat and feeding my beta fish, she leaves lots of pictures and gives Hollie lots of pets. I will definitely use Ashley again in the future.”
“Ashley was an amazing sitter to our 3 cats. She was super communicative throughout the entire visit and sent us tons of pictures and updates. She also cleaned up after our kitties who can be messy sometimes. We trust her fully and would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a reliable pet sitter!”
“This was our first time using Rover and boy do we feel lucky to have matched with Stephanie! The house, plants, and kitty were all well taken care of. It’s one of the first times we were actually able to fully relax on vacation. We will definitely be re-booking with Stephanie again soon!”
“Sandra took great care of my two cats and followed all instructions for medications and special attention. I would recommend her and book her again for care!”
“Heather was awesome with our very needy cat!! We had issues before with sitters and were nervous but our cat was well looked after with Heather and didn't have the same signs of stress that he would get after other times we had to travel.”
“Claudia checked in on our kitty while we were away. She was fantastic about giving us updates and pictures and was very flexible about key pick up and drop off. Thanks for all your help Claudia!”
“Sydney was amazing! My boys loved her, she was very communicative and even reminded me to leave my key before I went out of town- which I greatly appreciated! 10/10 will keep booking :)”
“Coral was fantastic! I left in a rush the morning she was scheduled to walk Ruby and completely forgot to leave my apartment key. She was incredibly flexible and even downloaded an app so she could access the building. She was patient, understanding, and so easy to work with. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jonathon is such a great person and I am so grateful to him for such caring and conscientious visits with my cats. He was communicative and always goes the extra mile to make sure everything for each cat was taken care of. It was an incredible solace that he was with my fur babies while I had to be away because of my Dad’s passing…I didn’t have to worry about anything and am so grateful to him. I will definitely have Jonathon care for the cats again anytime I need help with my animals! Even my shy cats warmed up to him for pets and purrs - that says a lot!! Thanks Jonathon!!”

Thank you Erika!! Great communication and treated my pets with love and care! Followed all my instructions to a T, including giving my pets their medication, and gave them lots of snuggles! They were happy as could be when I got back from my trip. Erika is a top notch sitter, and I will definitely be hiring again! Thanks again!

Ryan is an excellent sitter! He took great care of my cats, spent quality time with them, and sent adorable photos and updates during the visit. Communication was easy, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my cats were in good hands. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Castlewood on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 6,154 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Castlewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
