“Abbagayle did great pet sitting for our super senior dog Remy who is almost 18. She was kind, gentle, and trustworthy. She has a gentle presentation that’s comforting for pets and Remy seemed to really like her. We have highly recommend her as a sitter for any pet.”
“We were so grateful to have Cambria house sit for us and watch our two dogs while we were on vacation. She was communicative throughout our trip, sending daily updates and photos of the dogs. We were able to fully enjoy our trip, knowing that our dogs were happy and well-cared for by Cambria. She took care of everything we needed while we were gone, watered our plants and went above and beyond, cleaning the floors before we arrived back home! We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again!”
“Lynn took care of our dog for 2 weeks and we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. He was in very good hands. Lots of updates and pics of our baby, giving us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation.”

I currently work per diem as a Registered Nurse, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care.

“Parker watched our pups and house sat for us again while we were traveling. Couldn’t ask for a better person to watch our 3 fur babies. Always communicative with updates throughout the stay and we completely trust him with caring for our pups while we are away! He’s fantastic with 3 huskies! Highly recommend Parker to anyone needing regular dog walks or watching them while away! Thanks again!”
About: I've dog sat for friends for several years and had a variety of pets growing up. I'm good at following directions for a specific pet's care. I work part time remote, so I'm flexible for house sitting or drop-by services. If you happen to have a bird, I can take care of them, too! I have a parakeet who lives in a large cage inside -- he doesn't know how good he has it, LOL! I also cared for a variety of pets growing up.
“Thank you so much for staying with my two frenchies! This is the first time I used Rover and Monet did not disappoint. This was the first time leaving my fur babies and they just turned one, so I was really worried. Monet sent me updates and assured me my babies were doing good. She made sure my house was clean just like I left it as well! Lexi and Lola are happy mom and dad are home but went into my guest room looking for Monet! They obviously liked her and so will your pup book with her!”
“She was amazing! My dog was fine and approached Maureen during our meet and greet and but then my dog gave her a hard time the first few nights. Maureen was patient and sweet with my girls and by the last day of our weekend, my girls loved her. I will 100% be using her services again!”
“She’s very caring and considerate of Riesling’s feelings. He is a rescue and has anxiety, is often sad when we are not home and she tried to make him feel comfortable. Her updates are not just pictures but how he’s”
About: Hi there, my names Natalie & I’ve been an animal lover my whole life. Horses, dolphins and dogs are my top fav. I have grown up with dogs since I was 5, I was always in charge of feeding, play time, bathroom and bath time. Having dog or cat sitted for friends or family throughout my life I am very comfortable around any animal big or small. Previous work at a vet clinic and animal shelters along with kennel jobs have provided me with the adequate animal care and skills needed to care for your fur baby! I’m a full time mom so I prefer to work hours while my child is in school. Night or weekends can be planned as well. I can take your pet out for walks, hikes, or dog park trips if allowed. Crate is available as well if dog or cat prefers.
“Denae did awesome! She sent me pictures and updates throughout her stay. House was cleaner than I left it too! Thank you very much for watching my pups. I will rebook with you again for my next trip!”
“Harrison provided daily updates/photos, carefully followed all of our feeding/pet care instructions, and was up-front about his working hours/schedule. We wouldn't hesitate to have us care for our animals again!”
“Sofia is a real gem! She sent pictures and videos every day and I could see my dogs were content and happy. When I got home my house was spotless. She had the sheets in the washer, blankets in the dryer, and clean dishes in the dishwasher. I know she loved on my dogs because they didn't want her to leave when I got home. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Yvonne is a knowledgeable, caring, responsive and compassionate dog lover. We felt comfortable with her in our home and assured that our 2 pets were in great hands--relieving the stress of being away from them for a couple of days/nights. I returned to two happy dogs--a super energetic puppy and our 15 year old 'diva.' I have no hesitation referring Yvonne for house sitting and doggie care!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - El Casco
We had such a great experience with Sarah! She stayed at our home for four nights with our senior pup, Kuma, and I truly couldn’t have asked for better care. Kuma requires medication and specific feeding instructions, and she handled everything thoughtfully and responsibly. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing our older girl was in capable hands. She sent regular updates, communicated clearly throughout the stay, and took wonderful care of both Kuma and our home. You can tell she’s attentive and genuinely cares about the animals she watches. I would absolutely have her back in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate sitter.

FAQs for House Sitting - El Casco
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,144 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across El Casco. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 El Casco 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 El Casco 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.
Tip: 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 El Casco 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 Rover Guarantee , 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.
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 .
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 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.

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.
