“Esmeralda stepped in at last minute’s notice to take care of my cats. Not only was her willingness to take my last minute job deeply appreciated, she went above and beyond in her service. She cleaned up any messes the cats made, watered the plants in the apartment, and sent great photos of the cats every day. They clearly loved visiting with her, which was evident in all of her photos! I would recommend Esmeralda to anybody.”

“Bailey did a great job taking care of my cats, snakes, lizards, and frogs! I was very impressed with her ability to handle some unexpected situations like fixing malfunctioning automatic feeders and cleaning up a cat mess. She communicated clearly and promptly about any issues. She followed all of my detailed instructions for a wide variety of animal species. I would highly recommend Bailey for your in home pet care needs.”

“This was our fourth time having Shari care for our cat, Chico — and once again, she exceeded our expectations! We absolutely adore her, and Chico clearly does too. On our most recent trip, we added a new member to the family — a fish — and Shari was incredibly helpful in taking care of both pets with the same attention and care. She is reliable, thoughtful, and communicates clearly during every visit, always keeping us updated with detailed messages and adorable photos. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. We truly feel like we’ve found our person. Thank you, Shari!”

“This was my first time using Rover and I was so nervous leaving my special needs cat with someone I didn’t know. Butters requires a few oral meds and doesn’t do well with strangers. When I met Laurie, I immediately knew it would be a great fit. She was patient with Butters throughout her check ins, and he warmed up to her almost immediately. The photo updates were amazing to have, and it was such a relief to know she was taking care of Butters. I will absolutely be reaching out to her for pet sitting again in the future, and highly recommend her to anyone!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for dogs and my understanding of the patience and attention they need at every stage of life. I grew up with two Border Collies who both lived to be 13 years old, so I’m very comfortable with energetic dogs as well as the needs that come with caring for a senior dog. One of my dogs developed arthritis as he got older, so I understand the importance of being patient with dogs experiencing pain or mobility issues and paying close attention to changes in their behavior and comfort. I’ve also cared for dogs belonging to friends and family, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines, and needs. I’ll treat your dog like family, follow their routine closely, and make sure they receive plenty of patience, attention, exercise, and affection while they’re in my care. I have a flexible schedule because I work as a freelance gardener, which allows me to plan my day around pet care. I’m able to dedicate time to visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship rather than having to fit pet care into a rigid schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and can be flexible with visit times and routines. I’ll make sure each pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need while their family is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’ll follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, and medication schedule, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and affection while their family is away. I understand that being in their own home can help pets feel more comfortable, so I’ll give them the care and companionship they need while respecting their space and routines. I’ll also keep the home clean and tidy, provide regular updates and photos, and be attentive to any changes in their behavior, appetite, or overall well-being.

“We have used Lucia and her husband several times now for our cat nova and they have been absolutely heartwarming and are very kind. Our cat nova loves to go over there and hang out and cozy up with everybody. She has her own little spot. She likes to go to when we do bring her over and they take very good care of her to the point where she doesn’t want to go home ha ha :-) we love using them when we’re able to and need to have her boarded for a night or longer and we appreciate them so much.”

About: While you’re away, your furry friend will get plenty of love, cuddles, and maybe a few extra treats! I’ll keep you updated with pictures and messages so you never miss the fun. I’ve been caring for animals since I was 8 years old and I have always had a love for all creatures big or small. My experience goes far beyond traditional pet sitting as I was raised on a small farm. I just absolutely love animals. I’m comfortable with animals of all ages and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. On the weekends I can take him/her for a hike if you would like! If you have a high energy pup that needs longer distances we can take them on a bike ride. Our Aussies have loved that in the past. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved, and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. I am pretty flexible and very open availability. I enjoy spending time with pets, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply relaxing together. I’m happy to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the week and weekends. I am available for those early morning walks an evening check in. I do have reliable transportation as well so if you need me to pick up your little guy, or big guy we can arrange that. I want your pet to feel right at home while you’re away! 🐾 If your dog or cat has a set schedule or routine, just let me know and I’ll do my best to keep it. I’ll also follow any house rules you have, including whether they’re allowed on the furniture! I’m happy to provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, and cuddles while keeping you updated with pictures and messages along the way. 🐶🐱 We have a 5 year old Bernese Mountain Dog named Waffles and a 4 month old Kitten named Gump. They both have done very well with other dogs and cats.

About: Hi! Nice to meet you :) my name is Debbie and I recently moved back home to South Denver after spending a couple of years living abroad in Spain. I moved back home to focus on working and building a future for myself, so right now my only priorities are caring for your pet and my day job (9-5) in Cherry Creek. I work in the jewelry industry in Denver so I have great attention to detail, an incredible amount of patience and always keep calm in any situation. I am more than happy to stay at your house or offer drop-ins and give your pets full-time attention while you are away. I will care for your pets as they are my own. I value, communication, care and honesty. I love taking care of the home as well so when you come back from vacation, you have nothing to worry about. You can let me know your needs and I am more than happy to help, watering plants, taking out the trash, litter box duties, etc. I have a lot of experience with pets; I used to have a family dog and have I lived with cats my entire life. I prefer smaller dogs and I haven’t met a cat that I don’t like. I am more than happy to have a meet and greet before we book something and answer any questions that you may have. Have a lovely day! I work during the day, but my schedule outside of my 9-5 is extremely flexible. I am more than happy to stay at your home, or offer drop-in visits whenever you please. I am ideally looking for long-term relationships with pet-owners and their pets, and hope to become your go-to person whenever you need care! I am very calm, patient and reliable. I always get to know your pet and pay very close attention to their temperament, likes and dislikes. Ideally I am looking for long-term clients, so if it works and we get along, I would be more than happy to come back whenever you need me. I will stay in Denver for the foreseeable future and have a car.

About: 6 years ago I starting to live in cozy community there a lot of people has dogs. But after pandemic, they haven’t got enough time for them. So I started to help neighbours by taking dogs for a walk on the evening. After that I understood that dreaming about my own dog. My dog is 5 years old, it’s Japanese Akita. I arrived in USA recently, my husband won a green card. But our dog is still in our country with parents because of complex procedure of importation dogs to USA. In spring we will bring her too, and now I’m really missing and want to have some time with dogs, because I really love them. I have experience with small and big dogs and with different breed. My dog was puppie, so I understand how act with young and adult dogs. I’m currently have a remote work (a half of day) with flexible schedule. So I have enough time during the day. Time can be discussed Now I’m living without my pets, they waiting for me in my country. So I have good environment in my apartments without any danger or stress.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life, and I grew up caring for them from a young age. I currently own an Akita Inu, a breed known for being independent, strong willed, and requiring consistent training and handling. That experience has taught me patience, confidence, and how to read dog behavior in different situations. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels, including larger or more reactive dogs. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, overnight care, or simply someone to keep them company, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and treated like family. I understand every dog has their own routine, and I always take the time to follow your instructions carefully so your pet feels at home while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs daily walks, drop-in visits, daycare, boarding, or overnight care, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I always do my best to accommodate each pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every booking. I currently have an Akita Inu, so I’m experienced handling strong, independent breeds and understand canine body language and behavior. If your dog is staying in my home, I always introduce dogs carefully and can keep pets separated if needed to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I’ll also provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: I have always had animals in my house, I was born into an animal loving family that for as long as I've know has had dogs around. I was given the responsibility to care for them around the age of 9 and since then have always had companions to care for. On top of dogs I have learned to care for almost any pet you could have. As an avid reptile lover I know an abundance of information about most species of amphibians and reptiles. I have done the research on rodents and have experience caring for bunnies. I work with horses throughout the summer and have cared for many types of fowl. I own a bird and strive to keep learning and growing to give her the best care imaginable. If you have a pet, odds are I can help! I work full time as a receptionist at a dog grooming salon, so I am limited during the weekdays, but I would still be able to look after your pet early in the morning or after I get off work. During weekends my schedule can vary but stays relatively open. I am willing to adapt to however your companion is used to being cared for, just because you're out of town does not mean their care should change! Leave me as detailed instructions as you please and I will do my best to meet them to the "t". I always show every animal i meet the utmost affection.

Wonderful cat sitter! I couldn't have asked for a better person to care for my cats while I was away than Regina. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly genuinely appreciated my cats. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind, and I came home to happy and relaxed cats. Communication was easy from start to finish, and my cats were obviously comfortable with her. I'd recommend Regina without hesitation and will definitely book her again!

Jerica was absolutely amazing! I was away in another country and had no worries about my cat. She went about and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and even read his energy to communicate with me that we were on the same page. I would 100% recommend Jerica as a trustworthy friend for your pups/kitties ❤️

Katherine was the absolute best pet sitter! Being new to Colorado, my family had no one to watch our furbabies while we were away for a two-week vacation. We had never used a sitting service before and I can safely say we will be booking Katherine again for future vacations! She was responsive, caring, and thorough. Our kitties warmed right up to her and we got the cutest pictures while away. Katherine also made sure our cameras stayed positioned properly so we could check on them between visits (because you know they became a toy). I didn’t have to stress while we were away and meeting her beforehand to ensure she was a good fit solidified the confidence.

Carissa was available for a last minute booking. She watched my dog, Bodhi, and my cat while I went on a short trip to California. My dog is quite self sufficient and can sleep at home as long as he is let out to pee. I am happy to announce that there were no accidents! Carissa came by the house 3 times and spent so much time with my babies. They were not mad at me when I returned - if that says anything about Carissa’s personality! 10/10 would hire again!

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Castlewood

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Castlewood is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 per visit. 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 1,767 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Castlewood. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% 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.

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.
