“Holly did a great job taking care of Teddy (senior dog) and Piggles (pot bellied pig). I hadn't left Teddy alone in years so I was anxious about it. Holly visited 2x a day for an hour each. Teddy was anxious at first but Holly spent time with him and calmed him down. He ate normally which I was worried he wouldn't. Piggles is less needy. Just give her food on time and she's happy. :) Overall, it was a great experience and I would certainly use Holly in the future.”

“Nicole is great. She had an instant connection with our dogs, and she did an excellent job taking care of the cats while we were away. She was very friendly and willing to help with an unexpected glitch, and to deal with the Rover steps when we needed to be gone an extra day. Will definitely try to book her again.”
About: I have around 10 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats. Family members and neighbors have trusted me with their babies for years, and it’s something that I enjoy as well. I have looked after dogs anywhere from puppies to senior. I know the different needs at each stage of life and am able to provide them! I am currently a full time college student but have time in between classes. I am looking for a part time job with flexible hours and something more rewarding than a retail job. I love spending time with animals and taking care of them, and would love the opportunity to take care of yours! Although, I am not offering to take care of pets in my own home as of right now, I can assist with what clients need help with in their homes. Some examples of services I can provide are walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding animals, and mild training such as walking on a leash without pulling or to sit and lay down.
About: I've had dogs all my life. I've worked at multiple doggy day cares. My customers from the doggie daycares requested for me to get this app I currently work part-time so I'm available for doggie daycare or whatever you may need for the pups after 2:00 p.m. on the weekdays and weekends to whatever time you need. I will give your pet all my attention talk to them like there a little human. By the end of the day I guarantee me and your dog will be best friends.
About: I’m attentive and I have a really good reaction time! I’m also a kind and caring individual, I love animals a lot! I had two dogs in my family and I took care of them. With them, I was able to learn how dogs think and what their needs are! I’m taking a small break from my university right now, so I have plenty of time to take your beloved pups and take care of your cats! I’m free for majority of the time, just let me know! I had a dog named Spanky, he was my childhood dog who unfortunately passed away recently. He was apart of my family so he wasn’t just a pet to me. I had a schedule for him and he would take daily walks around the neighborhood and beach. He would also eat at certain times with good quality food to keep him moving and grooving. He lived a long and happy life!
About: I have a few years experience with dog and cat care. I have heard positive feedback from many families I care for! Some things that have been said by different families that I regularly walk for... "Your favorite person is here!" "I didn't know they got this excited for walks!" "Her vet said shes very nervous, but she seems to like you!" I enjoy seeing and greeting each of the doggies with "pats and hellos" before we begin our time together so I usually show up a couple minutes early for that I am respectful of new animals that I meet and allow them to show me their comfort level. I have school aged kiddos, so im ready for all the shenanigans from the fur babies! While i do like to give a dog exercise, I also allow them to make stops cause every creature should be able to smell the flowers sometimes. I can run short distances if your buddy happens to prefer quicker paces! I can walk 2 or 3 dogs at a time I have available spots for walks on the following days (kept updated) Tuesday-Friday Please contact me to discuss times and dates Thank you for considering me to walk your pets I am available to care for pets in your home.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for over 30 years. I’m the person my friends and family trust with their pets because they know I’ll care for them with the same love, attention, and patience I would give my own. I have experience with senior pets, special-needs pets, oral and injected medications, and pets with different personalities and routines. I understand how important it is to follow your instructions and keep your pet comfortable while you’re away. Communication is important to me, so you can expect plenty of photos, videos, and updates. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is safe, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me. I work full time, but I’m very intentional about the bookings I accept and will only commit when I know I can provide your pet with reliable, attentive care. I’m an early riser and available for morning care, as well as evenings and weekends. I’ll always communicate clearly about my schedule so you know exactly what to expect while your pet is in my care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. I take the time to learn their personality, feeding schedule, medications, walking routine, and any special needs or preferences. I’ll follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet and home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. You can also count on regular photos and updates, so you can feel comfortable and connected while you’re away.

“Just used Esme for the first time. She was great at getting to know my two kitties, one of whom is very shy of new people. She made me very comfortable that they were getting loving care when I was away on a long trip.”

“We needed Colleen to swing through because we were going to be gone for a long stretch of time. Excellent communication! We definitely appreciate getting a great picture of the dogs. We will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Molly has been very responsive and easy to communicate with. And of course most importantly, my cats have gotten comfortable with her quickly. And she could even tell them apart quickly (two all-black cats), which is a rare achievement! She's been great with sending pictures, asking questions, and feeding my cats, both following instructions and noting additional things that were needed. It's a relief to find someone I feel comfortable trusting with my cats.”

About: I've had dogs and a variety of pets since I was a child. Trained a few of my dogs at petsmart. Exhibited a couple of my dogs at AKC dog shows for a few years. All my dogs are well behaved, socialized with humans and other animals in the home. Preventative health care, vet visits when necessary, and my current dog has health insurance. I am a non-medical senior caregiver through an agency. Going to further my education in fall 2027 I'd like prioritize my job hours during the weekends. My schedule is open for now and will be adjusted on the app. I will also increase my range in distance, due to cost in gas. From experience, safety is #1. I consider myself a responsible person and pet owner as well. None the less, i treat others as how I like to be treated.
“Gabriel and his son Lucas were great with our senior dogs. He kept me updated every visit to ensure we knew how the dogs were doing. Definitely convenient that he was near my home and due to the fact that we actually don't like people wandering in our home, my husband felt comfortable with him watching over our house as he definitely went above our expectations. Will definitely use him again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Castroville is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $25 and $39 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 October 2026, there are 1,912 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Castroville. 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 Castroville. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
