She went above and beyond to make sure she and Tally got along before committing to house sitting with her, provided regular updates throughout the weekend, and then stayed past her scheduled time until we arrived home after Tally got into something in the backyard and wasn't feeling well. We will definitely be using Jane again in the future and cannot recommend her highly enough!!”

“Sydney took care of my senior cat for over a week and stayed in my home during that time. My cat can be challenging for new people, as she is quite feisty at first. It was especially tough to leave her for such a long trip after almost never leaving her during the pandemic. However, it was evident that Sydney took the extra time and care with Lucy, and I returned to happy kitty. I was texted everyday and got updates on how Lucy was doing. Also, Sydney took great care of my home-- and even washed all of the bedding and towels that I left for her, which I greatly appreciate! Sydney is a really great sitter, that I would strongly recommend to anyone.”

About: I have been a huge animal lover since I can remember. I have been a proud dog momma for most of my life. My beautiful four legged son, Camper, is a great pyrenees/lab mix (very BIG boy). I personally trained Camper in obedience with the use of my knowledge in ABA. I am currently in graduate school working towards a degree in Applied Behavioral Analysis. Thanks to my experience and training, I am able to help train various different animals. I am also skilled in administering medications to both cats and dogs. I have open availability as of now, monday through sunday, any time. So you just let me know! Looking forward to meeting your fur babies :) My daily routine with the pups, looks like getting up, taking them for a nice long walk, playing outside, feeding them breakfast, being lazy on the couch and giving LOTS and LOTS of cuddles. Eventually we head back outside to get some zoomies out and will go on an additional walk if needed, then we head back in for dinner. There are many potty breaks, play time, and treats if necessary in the middle! I plan on giving your pups (and cats) the same kind of love, care, and attention that I give my own.

Barbra took such wonderful and attentive care of my cat (who loves lots of attention and care!), she sent lots of updates and photos and I never once worried about Boo not being in great hands while I was away. My cat was in her lap within a matter of hours into her stay and I am pretty sure seldom left. I loved coming home to the the diary of Boo’s days while Barbra was here — I know Boo would love to have Barbra watch her again and I would definitely recommend her work to anybody!

Alexis is the best dog sitter I’ve ever hired. Here’s an insight into how awesome she is- our last trip, we arrived home at 2am. Alexis texted at 1am to make sure we would be home, otherwise she would surely go back to check on our two dogs. The middle of the night. After her booking was over. I trust her, and my dogs love her.

Dan was a total life saver. I had an important trip planned but my dog with chronic health issues had a flare a couple days before I had to leave and my prior arrangements fell through. Dan accommodated us at the last minute, was fully understanding of the situation, and went above and beyond following near hourly instructions for meds, feeding, and working around my dog’s anxiety. I came back to a happy, healthy dog and my home just as I had left it. I will definitely be using Dan again.

Ryan took great care of my pups while I was away for almost two weeks. He gave daily updates and sent plenty of pup pics. This was their first time staying with him and they quickly warmed up to him. Ryan left the house spotless, which was even better to come back to. I would definitely ask Ryan to pup sit again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lealman

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Lealman is $49 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $80 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 4,013 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lealman. 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 Lealman 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 Lealman 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 Lealman 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lealman. On Rover:

  • 90% 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.
