“Sarah took great care of our kitty and our home. Our cat can be skittish and anxious around new people, but she they immediately vibed so well! We could tell in our daily updates that she was having so much fun and bonding with Sarah.”
“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.”
“Our shy and anxious puppy just adored Alyssa! He usually takes a long time to warm up to people, but became fast friends with her! We felt comfortable with her dog sitting in our house for 4 days, and will definitely book her again for our next trip.”
“Larissa was outstanding! Very detail oriented, friendly, and a great new friend for our pups! I would highly recommend her and ask her to sit for us again! Thanks Larissa!”
About: I’ve have taken care of dogs ever since I was a teenager. I love taking care of dogs they bring me such a joy. I know that each dog has their own personality and I love seeing them shine in there own ways. I have taken care of dogs as young as 6 months old to dogs that are 9 years old. I know that senior dogs definitely need more attention when it comes to potty breaks. I also have changed dog diapers. I also grown up with large dog breeds such as Pitbulls, Rottweilers and Huskies. I have also taken care of small dogs such as toy poodles, schnauzer and pekingese. I currently work as a property manager for an Airbnb that runs within my home. Which gives me the flexibility to watch pets. I understand that each pet has their own needs and I want to do what’s best for them. I’m very fortunate to have a fully fence, home, and a separate backyard for my pets and yours. My dogs have their own space and your pet will be staying with me so I can watch them.
About: From larger dogs to lizards, guinea pigs, and cats, every animal best friend deserves to be treated like family. I have spent many years volunteering at shelters and animal rescues, dog walking, and pet sitting for family and friends. I understand firsthand what it takes to care for animals with specialized diets and daily medication needs. My own cats require a bit more as they enter their senior years, so i understand how much patience it can take. That said, I know how important it is to maintain a routine, especially when your animal best friend misses you. I work a full-time remote job for a wildlife conservation nonprofit, which gives me the flexibility to stay with your best friend all day if you're interested. I'm happy to go above and beyond for your best friend, whether you're taking on family responsibilities, taking that much-needed vacation, or just need someone to stop by while you're away for a long day. I can't wait to connect with you and meet your pet best friend. I work a full-time remote job with a wildlife conservation non-profit. That said, my daily schedule is fairly flexible and can even include staying with your pet during the workday to keep them company. Weekends are also fairly flexible, although I try to make the most of my time with family and friends. So, I likely won't be able to spend the entire day with your pet as I would be during the weekdays, but I will still spend quality time with them when requested, especially if requested far enough in advance that I can schedule it into my weekends and around family. I make environmental safety a priority. I follow all precautions and safety guidelines you requested and avoid anything that could create a hazard or unsafe situation for your pet. I am familiar with cat CPR and the steps to take if you find a cat choking. These precautions also include saving your vet's contact information and finding the nearest emergency vet to remain prepared for any situation. If you request outside time, I will do so only in a secure location to minimize the risk of your furry friend getting lost or injured. My youngest cat (7 years old), has a few hours of supervised time in our fenced yard every morning. She also wears an AirTag collar whenever we aren't home or if she's in our yard, in addition to supervision. I have extra AirTags I can attach to your best friend's collar (or I can bring an extra collar) for additional monitoring while you're away, if you are interested.
“I recently booked Averie for in house dog sitting for 3 nights, she was amazing with my fur baby Dude! She also was extremely respectful to our home, when we came home we couldn’t even tell she had been here! It was my first time using a dog sitter and I was really anxious, but Averie stayed in constant contact and sent TONS of updates! I never wondered if Dude was okay, I knew he was from all the photo and video updates she sent. She was very detailed asking about his routines and needs, and followed all instructions we left perfectly! I will 100% book again and am so happy we found Averie. Dude had an amazing weekend with his new friend! I would highly recommend Averie to anyone looking for house sitting.”
“Air was so great!! Bubba can be aggressive, depending on how you approach him, and he immediately ran up to her and gave her a kiss 🥹 He won’t do a lot of things while I’m gone, but she got him to go outside, potty, fetch, and eat cheese - things he wouldn’t even do for my family off the bat. I appreciated the updates throughout the day, as well as the pictures. This was my first time using Rover, and I’m so glad that I chose Air to watch Bubba while I was visiting for a wedding 🩷 I would ABSOLUTELY rebook if I lived there!!”
“Anna was a wonderful pet and housesitter! She took excellent care of our dog and cat. Our dog is a rescue with some special needs and she bonded with her and cared for her perfectly. Her experience with animals shows. Our family highly recommends this caring, trustworthy, responsible petsitter!”
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals. With years of pet ownership, I’ve honed my skills in training and caring for my own dogs. Though I lack formal professional experience, my journey truly began in 2019 when I welcomed my German Shepherd. I was committed to his training and enrolled him in boot camp, followed by ongoing socialization efforts. Additionally, I've cared for my own pets and stray cats, ensuring their well-being. My experience makes me a reliable and nurturing pet sitter, dedicated to the happiness and safety of your pets. I'm currently a student, with my semester concluding for the spring and resuming in the fall. Until then, I am available with flexible hours and can easily accommodate your scheduling needs. During May through summer, my availability will increase, allowing for even more flexibility. I'm here to ensure your pets receive the care they deserve at times that work best for you! I believe that every pet deserves personalized care and attention. My approach includes understanding the unique needs of each animal, whether it's a specific diet, exercise routine, or special medical considerations. I prioritize creating a safe and loving environment, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. My experience with my own pets and local strays has taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and playtime in building trust. I aim to provide not just basic care, but a nurturing experience that keeps them happy and healthy.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was born. I’ve been raised with them and i’ve always seen how they can positively affect the mental state of those around. Therefore, i’d love to get any chance I get, to take care and love other animals just as much as I love my own! I am available majority of the days in the evening past 3:30. Weekends and Friday for the most part are basically fully opened. I just work my schedule around school and sports. At the moment I take care of my 2 dogs and cat inside of a town house. Therefore I do not have access to a yard so I walk them all together. I walk them every 2-3 hours and feed them in the morning and night with a mid day snack. For stimulation for the pets i’ve taught them how to use speaking buttons and I give them treat puzzles when giving their midday snack.
“Adam was able to accept a last minute overnight job which was a vacation-saver. He is the best dog sitter! He took Arnie on very long walks, followed all my instructions to a tee and was communicative with texts and pictures. He will be my go-to Rover sitter from now on!”
About: I am a long-time dog lover. I have worked on horse ranches with dogs and was raised with many dogs. My friends and family call me the "pet whisperer" as I am always in tune to pets and intuitively know what they need. I have a love and passion for ALL animals. I can walk, play, soothe, even bathe your pet. Ensuring you peace of mind that they are in good hands, well cared for and provided with love and compassion. I can also work with your pet on basic commands, and any other training goals you may have in mind! I also have experience with senior dogs and their special needs. (Medication, diet, etc.) Caring for animals is a full-time occupation, so nothing will be getting in the way of my attention to your furry friend. If you entrust me to your pet, I promise to put him/her first, and will focus my days and nights on their care. Your pet's routine, will become my routine. The in-home care I provide is always above and beyond my client's expectations. I will administer any medications and special care, exactly to your specifications, and will care for your home as it were mine. Always leaving it exactly the way I found it (if not better). I will provide my undivided attention to your pet, making sure they are happy and having a fun time, while at the same time, getting their necessary rest and nourishment.
“This was our first time having someone do a house sitting, and we couldn’t be happier! Sofia was so great with the dogs, gave updates and left the house spotless. She went above and beyond offering to wash the bedding in the room she used. Thoroughly impressed, and would highly recommend!!”
About: I've always had friends with dogs and have done house and dog sitting for many years without any issues. I also have a saint Bernard, Banks! I'm currently looking for a new job after I was laid off from my former job. I have a lot of time on my hands currently so I have open availability. I take my doggo out on walks every day! We're also lazy from time to time but we're usually more active. I'm very engaged with my dog as he can be very energetic so I can definitely handle bigger dogs with a lot of energy.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - El Casco
Esther gave us the valuable gift of peace of mind during our Labor Day weekend getaway. She was very respectful of our home and she was attentive to our furry boy Jeff. She sent pictures of their walks and also pictures of him finally coming around to having a new face in his space. Jeff was happy to see us when we got home, but I also suspect he misses Esther. We will definately be searching for Esther on Rover for our next getaway.

FAQs for House Sitting - El Casco
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 2,132 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 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.
