“Yazmin took great care of our pets when we had a last minute trip to go on! She was very communicative and professional, and our animals loved her! 10/10 would book with her again”
“Mary is so wonderful!!! Our kitties are well taken care of and loved on while we are out of town. She always includes pictures each day with an update which is great! Would highly recommend Mary!”
“Kylie did a great job of caring for Wally. He loves her! Kylie also is easy to chat with and confirm all information and keep us well informed of Ol Wally :)”
“Can not say enough🫂I was concern leaving fur babies but after meeting and getting daily updates I was over joyed!!! I will definitely re book in the future. Very attentive to my fur babies needs🙂”
“Dean was excellent! Communication went smoothly and I appreciated the daily notes and pictures. My fur baby Milo (cat) does not trust strangers easily. However, he warmed up to Dean in no time. Will definitely hire again!”
“Danielle is always so thorough and attentive to my baby boy. Every time I go on vacation (short or long term), it’s always a worry free experience knowing that Danielle will be conducting in home visits for my dog.”
“Britney was amazing. I appreciate how responsive she was and she took very good care of my cats while we were away. She was even able to get one of my very shy kittens to warm up to her. I would definitely go with her again.”
About: While I've never been paid to pet sit, I've checked in on my neighbor's dogs upon request, feeding them and taking them outside when necessary. It's impossible to estimate just how long I've cared for animals. While I'm on the hunt for a full or part time job over the summer, my availability will be flexible. As of now, I will be available at any time on any day. I've been around all sorts of animals in my life, currently living with my family's two boy dogs, Tucker and Charlie. With them, I've become familiar with using crates, feeding schedules, playtime, and of course, cuddles.
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and we’ve always had at least one dog around. I’ve been relied on for pet care by friends and family from a young age and have also professionally worked with animals in day care, boarding, and kennel settings. And now those who know me regularly come to me for advise on care for their pets, and I’m always very happy to offer whatever help I can or learn more from someone else or another source if it’s a topic I’m not as educated on so that I can provide better help in the future. I have experience with all sizes and temperaments of dogs and cats and am willing to work with difficult pets as well. Whatever your pet needs, I will do my best to provide during their service. Their safety, comfort, and enjoyment is always my priority. If you ever have questions or want advice on anything related to pet care, handling, diet, or behavior issues I’m also always glad to answer to the best of my ability! I don’t know everything by any means, but have helped people with things such as weight loss for obese dogs, leash training difficult-to-walk dogs, or socializing reactive dogs among other things. I currently have two pets of my own. Zora, my goofy Texas-special mutt puppy (one day I’ll get her DNA tested and figure out just what the heck she’s mixed with) I adopted in May 2026; the vet estimates she was born in January 2026. She loves to hang her head out the car window and feel the wind when I’m driving, and she loves making friends with all the people and dogs. I try to get her out to experience things out and about as much as possible, and we’re usually out at the dog park at least once or twice a week! Then there is my kitty Valkyrie, who was born in January 2021 and who I adopted in April 2021. She’s an indoor-only kitty which suits her just fine as she find the wide world and all the noises that go with it to be a bit terrifying. However I have set my patio up as a catio of sorts as well and she does enjoy sitting out there and soaking up the sun and sights and smells in comfort and security. She loves finding the highest points in my home to rest in, and I’ve ended up putting a bed for her up on top of one of my cabinets because she likes to sleep up there so much. The blinds are my windows always have to be pulled up just a bit so that she can look out the windows, otherwise she tends to get a bit huffy. She is quite the talker when she wants something or is demanding attention, or just wants to tell me all her about her day when I get home. I do currently have a main job as a dog groomer, though my hours are fairly flexible and I have nearly total freedom with my schedule. As long as it doesn’t interfere with any of my coworkers schedules or create inconveniences for our clients, my boss essentially lets me move my work schedule around however I want. The only day I typically would be completely unavailable with the exception of possible extremely early in the morning or very late in the evening/at night would be Thursdays, as my boss needs me with her as an assistant on Thursdays. But otherwise, particularly if I’m given plenty of advance notice, I can usually move my work schedule around to accommodate dog walks and sitting requests. Just send me a message and I’m more than happy to talk days and times you need! I like to try to match the pet’s pace during their walks. I’m not much of a runner, but I’ve got some long legs and have a fast walking pace. If they just want to go-go-go that is fine with me, or if they’re more of the chill, sniff around and stroll leisurely along type, we can take it nice and easy. For drop in visits, I will not let dogs out into a yard unless it is securely fenced in, and I will never allow a cat to go outdoors while they are in my care. If you don’t have a secure yard but your pup still needs to get out during the visit, I’m happy to take them on a quick walk as long as there is a leash and collar/harness provided.
About: I've loved animals all of my life and have experience caring for a variety of pets of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, so I am patient, responsible, and attentive to each pet's individual routine. I am comfortable following specific instructions for feeding, exercise, playtime, and providing plenty of affection and attention. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away, and I will treat your furry family member with the same care and respect I would want for my own pets. I am a full-time student, but 5 out of 6 of my classes are online, so my schedule is very flexible and can accommodate client needs. I have a class on Tuesday and Thursdays in the afternoon, but otherwise I am free. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine and creating a safe, comfortable environment. I will carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications if applicable, playtime, and any specific needs or preferences. I understand that every pet is different, so I will take the time to learn their personality and ensure they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I will also treat your home with respect, keep the space clean, and provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Christine is amazing! She is punctual, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She was able to accommodate my last-minute request while I was in town visiting family and unexpectedly needed someone to care for my dog. I’m always nervous about leaving my dogs with someone new, but Christine immediately put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog and treated him like one of her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Brad is great! I set out to make a more comfortable experience for my dogs while I was away and Brad provided that. The pictures speak volumes! He's on time, tentative, and involved. My boys loved him. Thank you for keeping them safe and updating me with your visits!”
“Sophia took wonderful care of our dogs while we were away, treating them like her own. Communication was excellent — I got regular updates, photos, and even a great video that showed how happy and comfortable they were. It gave me total peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. When I came home, my dogs were calm, happy, and clearly well cared for.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Castroville
Mary did an excellent job caring for our cats! Her communication throughout the visits was outstanding, which was especially important since we were traveling internationally. Being across the globe and trusting someone with our babies is no small thing, but Mary far exceeded our expectations. Our cats really warmed up to her over the course of her visits, which says everything about how caring and attentive she was with them. We definitely hope to use her services again in the future!

As of September 2026, there are 1,003 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Castroville. 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Castroville. On Rover:

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.
