About: My name is Kennedy, and I have had pets my whole life! I have had several dogs throughout my life, the most recent being a dachshund and a black lab. I have experience with small and large dogs, and love being around both! I currently own a cat, and have become a major cat lover as well. I enjoy looking into enrichment activities for both cats and dogs, and I meet them where they’re at! I work until 3:30 pm M-F, and I am free on the weekends. During the week, I will definitely be able to do drop-ins in the evening/walks. The weekends are usually better for house sitting, but I will take it case by case! When at a clients home, I ensure to properly take care of their pet based on the clients instruction. I make sure that when out, the clients pet is on leash and always being watched.
“Leah provided top notch flexible and affordable care for our three boys. With a changing work schedule and one of us out of town we needed someone who would be willing to look after and spend time with our boys and was ok with changes to the agreeded upon schedule. Leah was caring and responsive throughout the week and made a very turbulent five days run much smoother than expected.”
About: I’ve taken care of family and friends pets for as long as I can remember. From walking and feeding to cleaning up after and keeping company, I’ve always been reliable. I’m currently a student in a Dental hygiene program, it’s a lot. I wanted a job I knew I’d enjoy that works with my busy schedule while also helping others and their fur babies! I walk my dog regularly as well as have a fenced in yard and am in close proximity to multiple dog parks! Your dog will always feel welcomed.
“Anna was amazing with taking care of our cats! This was our first time using Rover so we were nervous, but after meeting Anna we felt very much at ease. She was willing to come over and meet the animals and tour our house before we left (had to show her all the cat hiding spaces, haha). She was so friendly and easy going, and you can tell she is an animal lover herself. The daily updates with pictures were great even when our cats were being shy and didn’t want to come out. Will definitely use Anna again next time we go out of town and highly recommend!”
“Yung-Chu did a great job taking care of my cats while I was out of town. She followed instructions with care and was flexible with adjusting the amount of drop in visits. She even took the time to do a meet and greet before the cat sitting began. I would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies.”
“Sherron was a great sitter for our high-maintenance dogs. She took the time to make sure we were comfortable beforehand, and was punctual and communicative throughout the visits. We would use her again!”
About: Hi! I appreciate you being here. I grew up in the country and have had pets all my life. My current fur baby is Laney, a 9 year old, 60 lb mixed breed I rescued out of Houston. I’ve pet sitted casually for the last couple years but retired in May and am wanting to do it regularly now that I have more time. I’d love to meet you and your fur baby(ies) and see how I can help in your pet sitting needs! I’m retired and my schedule is quite flexible. I will coordinate with you to create a schedule conducive to both you and your pet. I want to ensure that you being away is as stress-free as possible for both your pet(s) and you. I will adhere to your pet’s schedule as closely as possible. Feedings, walks, etc.
“Melissa was our dog sitter for the weekend. She was quick to respond in communication, Sending us pictures of the dogs while we were gone. Making me feel very reassured. I highly recommend Melissa and she will be kept in our list of people to call. Thank you Melissa”
“He’s was amazing and always kept us up to date on our pups by giving a detailed summary and pictures from her visit. So glad we found her! Will definitely be a return customer!”
“Karen is fantastic with my kiddos! They’re super reliable, kind, accommodating and always make sure my dog is happy and well cared for. I love getting updates and seeing how much fun they are having. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and loving to help with your pet, Karen is the best!”
“I didn't want to leave a review because I didn't want y’all to take her from me and Layla! Lol But no... She's truly amazing, polite, respectable, & responsible. She will love your fur babies like they’re her own! If you need her to do drop-in, house-sit, she does it all and is very trustworthy! 🤍 5 stars, 10/10, definitely recommend, will book again!”
About: I have personal experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a dog back home in China, and I am currently living with two cats here in the U.S. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, potty breaks, cleaning litter boxes, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow each owner’s instructions to make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a hybrid work schedule and only go into the office 1–2 days a week. The rest of the week, I work from home, which allows me to spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day. I’m available for feeding, playtime, litter box care, check-ins, and lots of attention and company. On my work-from-home days, your pets will have someone around for most of the day. I have a spacious home with a large, fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of room to feel comfortable, play, and explore safely. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions. I understand that every dog and cat has a different personality, so I’ll give them the attention, affection, or personal space they need. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away and contact you right away if I notice anything unusual.
“Erika was amazing! She is very kind and responds quickly. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful sitter for my dog who you can tell truly cares about animals! 10/10 would recommend and I will be booking with Erika in the future!!”
“Nathan is amazing. He’s thorough and SO communicative. He sent pet pictures and videos the entire time, and even when Diesel was being a little hellion was so patient and even spent some extra time with him to calm him down. Please use him, you won’t regret it. He’s going to be my regular sitter moving forward!!”
“Traci was the best caregiver we’ve ever had! She took our lab on walks every day, playtime at the duck pond, playtime at the dog park, and even on errands. Traci also sent photos of our dog each time she checked on her. This gave us a greater sense of security in knowing our dog was taken care of while we vacationed. I would highly recommend Traci and will definitely use her again!”

Erika was absolutely wonderful with our 2 cats and because we added an extra day, due to our flight being delayed, she stepped up and continued to take care of them. She Even cleaned the litter boxes a few times! The cats looked forward to seeing her & getting lots of attention! Highly recommend Erika for your pet needs!
Jennifer was great with my 2 senior cats. She asked lots of questions up front to be prepared and kept me updated on how they were doing. One of my cats has accidents and vomits a lot and Jennifer cleaned all the spots so I didn’t return home to a mess. Would definitely trust her to take care of my cats again.
Madyson was awesome!! She treated my anxious little kitty with so much patience and kindness and she ended up warming up to Madyson at the end. Madyson gave super detailed visit summaries and It made me feel so safe leaving my cat with her. She took such good care of her and left all her spaces spotless. Thanks Madyson!!
Mandy was amazing and our pets loved her! She was very communicative and takes her job watching our loved ones very seriously! I loved all of the communication while we were gone and didn’t feel like we had to worry while being on vacation! Will rebook with her for sure!!
We had a great experience with Melaney! She took wonderful care of our three cats, whose ages range from 7 to 19 years old. One of the things we appreciated most was her communication. She sent us updates and pictures during each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Seeing our cats happy and relaxed made it much easier to enjoy our trip. We came home knowing they had been well cared for, and we’re very grateful for the time and attention she gave them. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Melaney again and would gladly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and communicative pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Leander on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,743 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Leander. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
