“Mary is the best! She really loves the animals she takes care of. Mine, nine rescue cats, have pretty much accepted her as one of the family. I would be lost without her and not able to enjoy my vacations.”
About: I have owned dogs all my life! I have breed and shown dogs. Most of my friends are dog friends I met through our common interest in dogs! I am retired and have free time to spend with your dogs! I am flexible with what Incan schedule. I do go to fit swim sometimes. I will shower your pet with affection and attention and respect your pets space! I look forward to meeting you and your pet. I love all dogs big or small.
“Brianah was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, her communication was clear, professional, and reassuring. She made sure all instructions were understood and followed everything with great attention to detail. While I was away, she provided regular updates that gave me complete peace of mind. What really stood out was the genuine care and patience she showed—she went above and beyond to make sure everything was comfortable and stress-free. It’s clear she truly loves what she does, and that makes all the difference. I highly recommend Brianah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
“This was my first time using Rover. I just moved to the area and needed a short notice emergency caregiver for my dog. I chose Danielle because of her experience with senior dogs and administering oral medication. She responded within minutes of my request and was very thorough to make sure all of Simba’s needs would be met. Simba was well taken care of and she gave me daily updates of how my old man was doing. This was the most stress free I’ve ever seen my dog after returning from a trip. Thank you SO much Danielle!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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🙂”
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.
“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!”
About: I’ve owned/sitted many dogs from all ages, sizes, species, and backgrounds for over 10 years. After many years i have never met a dog I couldn’t handle. I currently work part-time and only work 4-5 hours 3-4 times a week, so i have plenty of time to walk, play, or for sitting. In my current job I am trusted with gate codes and have never had an issue with clients. I also currently own 3 large dogs and have no issues being able to put dogs in there kennels if needed.
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.
“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”
“Kylie went above and beyond! I appreciated that she wanted to do a meet and greet prior to the days we needed her services, she ensured that our pets would get along with her. I also appreciated her patience with us and when I forgot to leave directions on where to locate our home key she stayed until we were able to respond. I would definitely rebook Kylie again for any of our trips that require watching over our pets.”
“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!”
“I was a bit nervous about trying Rover for the first time, but Kayla was amazing! She stepped in last minute and was incredibly flexible. She sent plenty of updates and even took some funny photos of my dog, which was so reassuring. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! Highly recommend!”

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!

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.
