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!”

About: I’ve been dog sitting for over 3 years, starting when I was 16, caring for dogs in my neighborhood and for family members. I’ve cared for dogs of different ages and personalities, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I regularly go to my neighbors’ home to care for their 6 dogs, letting them outside to use the bathroom, spending time with them, playing with them, and making sure they have everything they need. I’ve also cared for their puppy since they first brought him home and helped teach him basic commands, including how to sit, lay down, and paw. I’m comfortable with potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, overnight stays, and giving dogs plenty of attention and affection. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and treat every dog I care for like they’re my own. 🐶❤️ Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I study online. I have plenty of time available for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need. I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine and can be flexible with visits, overnight stays, and longer periods of care when needed. I care for pets in my clients’ homes by following their routines and instructions closely. I make sure pets are fed, exercised, supervised, and given plenty of attention while keeping their environment clean and safe. I respect my clients’ homes and privacy, and I communicate with them regularly by providing updates and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands.

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, especially dogs. Caring for them comes natural to me. I’m patient, attentive, and very hands-on, whether that means playtime, walks, or just making sure a pup feels calm and comfortable while their owner is away. I treat every dog like my own, and I’m available most weekends. I live in a safe, spacious neighborhood and stay very active. My dogs and I go on daily walks, and we spend a lot of time outside in our backyard playing and relaxing. Being outdoors and staying engaged is a big part of our routine. I am available Saturday starting at 8am through Sunday at 8pm and can fully dedicate my time to caring for pets, including walks, feeding, playtime. I am a very active person living in a large and safe neighborhood. Every morning, my dogs and I walk a mile together. We also have a spacious backyard where we spend a lot of time playing.
About: I’ve cared for animals since I was little. I’ve cared for dogs and cats when young but now as an adult I can now care for ranch animals. The most enjoyable experience. I’m currently available to care for dogs and cats threw out the week with advance notice. My schedule is pretty flexible as I work from home. I have a fenced yard with plenty of space for dogs/cats to run and play. When needing a place to rest there will be plenty of space in my home to cool down. I currently work from home and my schedule is flexible. I’m self employed which give me the opportunity to make my own schedule and work around the needs of the pets I care for. Here at my home I have a special area for them to walk freely around. Giving the pets that stay the option to sleep out of their crate.

Pet 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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Castroville is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $37 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 2,131 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
