“Amazing yet again. Would highly recommend and rely on Dominique time and time again as my pup seems to be obsessed with him! Also took great care of my house and stayed up to date with everything and pics!”
“Sophia was amazing! She watched my dog Cashew and my “spicy” cat Mango for five days and managed to win them both over — no small feat! I especially loved that we were able to do a meet & great in advance & gratefully so because the power went out right before I left and the house wasn’t quite how I wanted it, but she handled everything calmly and made do without missing a beat. Cashew adored her right away, and even Mango eventually decided she was acceptable company — high praise from a cat with attitude! She kept me updated with pictures and made sure everyone was happy and cared for. I came home to a clean house, a happy dog, and a cat who didn’t seem to hold a grudge (a miracle). Sophia is super reliable, i could not have asked for a better sitter, i highly recommend Sophia !! (hopefully not when we need her though)”
“Danni did such a great job taking care of our animals in our house while we were on a 10 day trip. Our two dogs are cat, a rabbit and our fish all looked happy and loved when we came home. Thank you so much for doing such a great job!”
“Hannah was beyond our expectations. We have three large dogs and Hannah was able to handle all of them perfectly, unlike other dog sitters. She sent lots of photos, updates and videos regularly which was very comforting. Going away is never a concern to us when we have Hannah who house sits and cares for our three boys exceptionally. Not only is she great with our dogs, she is very trustworthy, honest, and loyal. Hannah doesn't only take care of our dogs, she also takes care of our home and the daily routines, mail, garbage, cleaning etc. I come home and my house just as clean as I left it! I have used many other dog sitters in the past 7 years and Hannah out performs them all. We highly recommend Hannah and are grateful to have found her through Rover.”
“Sophia is a great sitter she took great care of dogs and cat. She was very professional and provided us the peace of mind we needed for our vacation. I would highly recommend and will use her again myself again for any future travel plans. Thank you Sophia”
About: I have taken care of multiple pets throughout my life. I am familiar with caring for puppies, middle aged cats/dogs, and senior cats/dogs. Animals hold a very special place in my heart & they deserve nothing but love. I can fit your pets care and needs into my schedule without a problem. Let me know the timeframe you need your fur baby taken care of, & they will be first on my list of priorities! I have a fenced yard that is very spacious for your fur baby to roam and play. There are many shady areas for your pet to rest from playing. Fresh food, water, and of course head pats will be available at all times. 🐾 If the weather is too much, we will hangout inside and do whatever your pet is in the mood for, whether it be playing, eating, or resting. They will be cared for and loved.
About: I've had dogs and cats since I was born and familiar with all types of breeds. My wife and I volunteer at a dog rescue and the Humane Society and understand how important animals are to their owners. We also try and get shy or quirky pets as they need special loving but we want to be able to help all animals I'm retired so my schedule is very flexible. I can work any day at any time and have no issue with doing things during "off" hours I have a fenced yard with 3 dogs (2 big mutts and 1 small chihuahua mix) who are very friendly with other dogs. I walk all 3 dogs once a day already and can provide that service at either house
About: I've taking care of my family's pets for the past 3 years. What sets me apart is that I build great connections with the pets and enjoy playing with them. I'm currently working part time remotely so I will have a lot of free time to dedicate to your pet. My job also allows me a great deal of flexibility so I can take your pets on walks or play with them. I only take care of pets at clients homes. I'm able to follow instructions as far as keeping the pet safe and in the allowed areas of the home. I'm also able to walk the fur baby outside in the neighborhood as needed.
About: I have worked with dogs and cats for over 8 years! I love getting to know new pets, and taking it at their pace until they're comfortable with me. I have extensive experience in canine enrichment, and helping with basic manners (sitting at doorway, leash control, "focus".) I also am Pet First Aid certified! I can't wait to meet your fur-end! I'm currently working full time at a dog daycare/lodging facility. I can normally be free after 7pm any day of the week, and sporadic days off normally during the week. I am very passionate, gentle, and patient! I'm more than glad to accommodate your pet in any way necessary to ensure their happiness and comfort.
“Victoria is really sweet and we will definitely keep her in mind for the next time we need a dog sitter! She had mentioned that we were her 1st customer on rover. What we asked of her (house sit + dog sit for 2 weeks) was a lot to ask of someone for the 1st time being on rover but she took it like a champ! She came over to do a meet and greet and we found out that she’s a preschool teacher too so she is a double weapon for those who has kids! We told her while we are gone our house is yours especially with groceries that were not used since we had been gone for so long. She not only updated up with pictures of the pups and how things were going and when she has guests over (we had told her if it made her feel comfortable she can have a friend, siblings, or significant other over) but she even bought us a value pack of soda since she had some of ours we left behind but she bought our kids spooky nuggets (just because!). She even left a welcome home not on the kids chalkboard that I did not see until later. You are the best Victoria, don’t change!”
“Evelyn was amazing!! This was our first time leaving our babies with someone and we were nervous! Evelyn kept in contact with us our entire time away, sending us pictures. We left our babies in good hands and will be using Evelyn moving forward!!”
“I have never had such an amazing sitter. This was the best experience ever. I am truly appreciative of everything you’ve done, thank you from the bottom of my heart! I will 100% be booking you again! 💛”
“Charisma was very attentive to our sweet girls and took such great care of them while we were away. She provided updates throughout the stay and we knew our girls were in great hands which helped us truly relax during our vacation.”

About: I am an experienced and dedicated pet caregiver with over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. As a dog owner of three myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me for years to board, feed, bathe, and provide attentive daily care for their dogs. My home features a secure, fenced-in yard where pups can safely play and enjoy their stay. I treat every dog in my care with the same attention, structure, and affection I give my own — ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, so I am here Monday-Friday and on the weekends as well. I spend a lot of taking care of the dogs and making sure they are well taken care of at all times. This is a very safe place, my dogs are very friendly and sociable, they will definitely enjoy having a visitor or visitors to play with while their parents are away for the day or for an extended period of time.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Castroville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Castroville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Castroville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
