“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.”
“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!”
“Bailey was great with my dog Louie. It was the first time I had someone come do drop in visits and she made me very comfortable. She sent lots of photos and Louie seemed to do really well!”
“Ashley is simply the best. This was our first time using Rover and it’s safe to say we lucked out. Our cat requires daily meds and we were looking for someone to drop in twice a day. Ashley took care of our sweet cat. She made sure to give meds, food, water, litter, and snuggles. Ashley went above and beyond and made sure our report cards had photos of our cat and touched base when she may have not eaten her meds. We truly felt at ease with Ashley caring for our cat. Highly recommend her!”
“Julie is fabulous! She’s great at communicating and shows that she truly cares. She’s punctual and detailed in her report cards with many pictures. I would definitely recommend Julie to a friend or family member .”
“Lindsay did a great job with my dog and 2 cats! They all loved her and she did a wonderful job giving them love and plenty of pets and play during her stop in visits.”
About: I have experience caring for pets for neighbors, family, and friends, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I know every animal has their own unique personality, routines, and little quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each pet special! I want you to feel confident knowing your pets are in caring, dependable hands while you’re away. I’m currently working full time but hoping to find a consistent schedule caring for your pets. I am open to drops in and walks before and after work. I will respect your house and your pets as they are my own. I love my dogs and hope to love your pets just as much.
“Richard was an incredible dog sitter—always punctual, responsive, and genuinely caring for our dogs. When we returned, they were happy and well-looked after, which made all the difference. I highly recommend him and will definitely be using his services again in the future!”
“Sydney was amazing and relieved all of our worries while being gone for the week! She provided the best care for our kitties and we would ask for her help again and again. Sydney provided great updates and asked questions if needed! Thank you!”
“Shari is wonderful! She takes great care of my kitty KK who can be a handful. She always sends great notes and pictures after each visit! I highly recommend her to care for your furry buddy!”

About: I’m a DC/Metro Area native who grew up with many animal family members. I’m now living the dream in the Denver area selling vintage and antique items around the world! I have cared for dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, hedgehogs, and other manner of tiny creatures. If you’re going out and want someone to hang out with your pets, I’d love to help! In addition to one time/recurring/extended visits, walks, and drop ins, my services include: -food/water refresh, brushing -park visits and bird watching -play time and snuggles -tv/lounge time -medication administration and monitoring Please note: Due to a past traumatic experience, I’m not the right person for you if your pet has a history of aggression (toward people or other dogs). Thanks for reading, and please let me know if you have any questions! I own my own business, so I am able to create my own schedule around your pet’s needs. This includes weekdays and weekends, morning to evening. I always make sure that the environment is safe for myself and your pets. When in doubt, I’ll ask. I make sure to follow all instructions precisely to keep your pet happy and safe. I also like to save your vet’s number so that I have immediate access in case of emergencies.
“Sarah & Darren did an excellent job of making sure our boys were taken care of. Sending photos of them playing and proof they hadn’t turned the house upside down was a plus. I definitely recommend and will keep them in mind for future needs.”
“My cat, Alma, adores Shannah and always looks forward to her visits! She is so attentive and spoils my kitty rotten! Plus I always get the best pictures whenever Shannah is in charge! She will always have my highest recommendation for any pet sitting needs 💕💕💕”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Castlewood
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 ❤️
Hailey was fantastic! She took great care of my kitty while we were gone. My kitty often seems really anxious when we come home from trips, but after Hailey watched her, she seems totally normal and happy when we got home. I will definitely be using Hailey again!
Ashley is very professional and great with the dogs! We could tell that she was going to be a good sitter when we first met her and the dogs immediately took a liking to her. She’s is very communicative and takes the job serious. This was our first time to use rover and she was the most helpful out of everyone we talked to. We will be repeat customers!
We needed help on very short notice and Polina was there to save the day! Bailey is an old lady and sometimes can be stubborn or even timid around new people. Polina did everything she could to keep Bailey comfy and happy until our neighbor who Bailey already knows was back in town. It’s not easy meeting a pupper on a Sunday then taking care of them a couple days later. Polina is a true pro. She loves the pets she cares for and it shows. Thanks so much!
Blake and Madison are fantastic, they really cared to make sure Aspen was comfortable and taken care of! They were prompt when I was looking for someone to take care of her short notice and came the day before leaving to greet her and from there I felt she was in great hands. They kept me up to date on all of her outings and meals. I will 100% be using them again in the future and would highly recommend them

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Castlewood is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 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 12,424 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Castlewood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Castlewood. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
