“Dominique did an INCREDIBLE job! I had a complicated batch of furbabies and instructions because I recently adopted a new dog and there was a pack and territory element that added to an already complex mix of senior dogs in the pack with young dogs in the pack. He and his partner Julie handled it wonderfully! In this case an extended meet and greet was wnjoyable with them both, but gave them the opportunity to observe and understand the behaviors and personalities of each furbaby. So, by the time the drop ins started he and Julie were well prepared. When I came back, my babies were peaceful and got along well. HIGHLY recommend!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She went above and beyond to make sure our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and thoughtful, and her communication throughout the stay gave us such peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our pets and treated them as if they were her own. We’re so grateful for the wonderful care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter!”
“Mary is the absolute best! Not only does she do an amazing job taking care of my cats but she truly cares about them too. She’s able to medicate my difficult cat and my social cat loves how much she dotes on him. Her updates are incredibly detailed and I always feel confident that they’re going to be safe, loved, and well taken care of with Mary!”
“Kylie was exceptional! She watched my 2 cats while I was in Ireland. Never hired a pet sitter for drop in visits and I am glad I chose Kylie. Communication was great & loved the pics she would send. I will definitely book Kylie again! She’s awesome.”
“It’s easy to tell that Danielle has a wonderful heart for animals. She was incredibly sweet and caring to our dogs. We gave her little notice yet she was able to come by and meet them almost immediately. We greatly appreciated it. Will definitely request her again.”
“We had a great experience with our Haley! She took such good care of our kitties while we were away and was always quick to reach out if anything came up, like when their automatic feeder stopped working. She even brought in a package and took out the litter trash for us, which was so thoughtful. We came home to happy cats and really appreciated all her help. We’d definitely book with her again!”
“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🙂”
“Courtney was terrific -- reliable, kind, and went the extra mile. My pups had never spent the night alone before, and Courtney was on-time and gave them the right amount of attention to make them feel good. She's terrific... Two thumbs up!”
“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”
About: I truly treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m patient, gentle, and make sure each dog feels loved, safe, and understood. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a softer touch. I pay close attention to routines, body language, and comfort so your pet feels at home even while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine! I’m in school Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and I also work part-time bartending with a flexible schedule. My evenings and weekends are open, which gives me plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and spending quality time with your pets when you need an extra hand. When caring for pets in your home, I always prioritize their comfort and safety. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and needs so they feel relaxed and secure while you’re away. I follow your instructions carefully, keep things clean and consistent, and always make sure your pets get the love, attention, and care they’re used to.
“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!”
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and make sure owners stay updated with photos and messages. I have a flexible routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to stay consistent with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets get the care and attention they need while their owners are away. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime, while also keeping their space clean and secure. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
“Amazing, amazing, amazing sitter! She was amazing with my cats and was great with communication. She was even able to do a emergency drop in last minute. Will book again and again!”
“Kayla was an absolute pleasure and went above and beyond for us! She came out for a meet-and-greet before our last-minute trip and was so kind and patient with our anxious dogs. She was also awesome about communication! We can’t thank her enough for all of her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets, I’ve pet volunteered at the SAHS for about 6 months, and I’ve done pet sitting for my friends and family and neighbors for about a year or longer and I am currently working at Barkaritaville pet Resort! I always make sure that your pet(s) is happy and content while providing all the proper care for your pet(s) My availability will vary due to my job, I work 4 days a week most weeks from 7am - 6:30 pm. So on those days I unfortunately don’t have any availability, on my off days I will be happy do walk your dog or stop by for a drop in! I have 3 dogs in my own home, as soon as I wake up I make sure that they are fed and that they have gone outside. For my clients I arrive early, or at a set time they would like me to arrive, make sure that they have gone potty (I stand off to the side and watch if not distracting for the pet) and then I prepare their food and make sure that they eat before I leave. I do sometimes walk them if requested.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Castroville on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,116 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Castroville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Castroville stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
