“Averie did a great job pet setting for our 18 year old dog Remy. She provided a calm, nurturing presence for him that made him feel comfortable. I would highly recommended Averie for house sitting/pet sitting.”

About: I am a college student and water polo coach. I grew up in a family with 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 guinea pigs, 2 rabbits and a few hamsters here and there. I have spent most of my life around fostering puppies and kittens, rescuing animals, and pet sitting. I have a dog with a weepy eye so am used to wiping and putting eye drops in. I am not squeamish when it comes to cleaning up messes and having to give medication. I am looking forward to meeting more fur babies! I am a full time college student, but with half my classes online which gives me flexibility. I am currently in the off-season for coaching water polo, so I only coach 2-3 times per week for a couple hours which gives me plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! I will make sure meeting your pet prior to watching them is a priority. I want to make sure your pet feels comfortable with me. I want your pet to have as much play time and activity as possible. I will treat them as my own!
“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.”
“Monet was great with our dog Murphy and with watching our house while we were away on a trip. She is responsive and sent daily updates, while also taking great care of our pitbull. We’d highly recommend Monet and will ask her to watch Murphy again in the future.”
“Ross had a hard time adjusting and didn't feel completely comfortable. Despite that, Cambria was very patient with him and did her best to make him feel cared for. I appreciate the time and effort she put into looking after him.”
“Denae kept me updated with details and pictures every day of how our fur babies were doing. She took extra care of our girl with her knee injury and I would highly recommend her to others looking for a conscientious pet sitter!”

I understand that pets are family, and my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels, including active dogs who love walks and playtime, as well as pets who need extra patience or special attention. As a nurse, I’m comfortable with medication administration, monitoring for changes in behavior or health, and staying calm in unexpected situations. I’m also a dog owner myself and understand the importance of routine, enrichment, exercise, and plenty of affection. Whether your pet needs a fun adventure, a relaxing visit, or dependable overnight care, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I currently work per diem as a Registered Nurse, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to accommodate a variety of needs, including drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and enrichment are a natural part of my routine.

“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!”

“Suzie was a great dog sitter! She watched Chipper for 2 nights and I felt very comfortable with the updates and pictures she sent!! Suzie was very nice and took great care of Chipper!! She also kept out place near and tidy. I definitely recommend Suzie and would book her again without question!”
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.
“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.”
About: I’m an experienced, intuitive dog caregiver who blends calm confidence with playful, genuine affection. I’ve worked with pups of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m especially skilled at reading body language, easing anxiety, and building trust with shy or energetic dogs. My hospitality background shows up in the way I communicate clearly, stay organized, and anticipate both the dog’s needs and the owner’s peace of mind. Whether it’s maintaining routines, handling medication, managing multi‑dog households, or keeping high‑energy pups happily engaged, I bring steady reliability and a warm, joyful presence that dogs connect with right away. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work part‑time on weekends and I’m on summer break from school. I have plenty of open time during the week for walks, drop‑ins, and longer visits, and I balance my weekend job with consistent pet‑care hours. This flexibility lets me give each pet focused, reliable attention and maintain steady routines for kittens, senior cats, pregnant cats, and dogs alike. I provide a calm, stress‑free environment for every pet I care for. In my home, I offer a quiet space with no children, a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and a relaxed atmosphere where pets can settle in comfortably. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, keep their space tidy, and make sure they feel secure and comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether I’m hosting or visiting, I focus on safety, consistency, and creating a peaceful experience for each pet.
About: Hello! I have over 7 years of experience working at a kennel, caring for both cats and dogs. I also personally have a German Sheppard mix and 3 cats. I have walked old dogs, puppies, 100+ lb dogs and little 5 lb dogs. Whatever you need, I can handle it. I currently work part-time as a soccer coach, my typical schedule is only 3 hours a day. I can visit in the morning and the evenings, or can stay in afternoons of weekdays I am not coaching. With my years of experience at the kennel, I have worked with some of the hardest, craziest dogs. With that being said, no cat or dog has ever gotten injured or sick under my watch. If an emergency ever arises, I am always cool under pressure and will do whatever it takes to take care of your pets!
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for many different kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to reptiles and farm animals. I’ve worked with animals of all sizes and ages, including small breeds, large breeds, seniors, newborns requiring bottle-feeding, and animals with disabilities or special needs. I also have experience fostering dogs and kittens, as well as providing attentive care to animals requiring medications and critical, around-the-clock care. My farm experience has given me the opportunity to work with a variety of animals and understand their different needs and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic, elderly, nervous, recovering, or needs extra attention, I’m dedicated to providing patient, loving, and dependable care tailored to each animal. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to spend with your animals! I'm available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 3:30 PM. I’ll be happy to give your pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while you're away. I have an apartment with plenty of space where I’m accompanied by two friendly kittens who are fully vaccinated and have no exposure to other animals or the outdoors. I regularly clean and disinfect my home to maintain a safe, sanitary environment. I also have plenty of nearby hiking and walking areas for pets who enjoy outdoor activities. My apartment community offers dog parks separated by size, providing a safe place for dogs to exercise and socialize. For cats and other animals, I’m patient and gentle when building trust. If a pet needs to be separated from my own animals, I can provide a separate, comfortable space and make sure they receive the individual attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m happy to follow their established routines and care instructions. This can include crate training, scheduled bathroom breaks, physical activity, feeding times, medication administration, and other necessary care procedures. My goal is to keep each pet comfortable, safe, and on the routine they are familiar with while their owners are away.
“I am so happy we had Cadence dog sit for us! She is so professional and sent us updates and pictures. I felt completely comfortable and safe leaving her with our dog. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to ask Cadence to sit for us again; she was fantastic. Our dog was clearly a happy gal!”

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.
