“Cleuse always does an amazing job caring for our animals. She doesn’t have a cat so she especially loves taking care of our sweet cat and she always provides excellent care and attention.”
About: I've been sitting for families and friends for about three years, and I'm currently a college student at ACC. I'm happy to dog sit any day of the week. I do attend college classes during the day on Monday - Thursday. However, I will be able to provide walks and potty breaks around my class schedule. I am highly allergic to cats, so unfortunately, I can only sit at homes with dogs. My approach to caring for the doggos of the world includes play time, walks, potty breaks, and I also have limited experience administering some pet medications as needed and am open to discussing and learning how to administer any specialized needs as well. As a house sitter, I will be present to keep an eye on your home including watering plants, checking your mail, and bringing in packages that have been delivered. My presence will give you peace of mind that someone will be on site should any home emergencies like leaks, fire, or other incidents. I look forward to meeting your furry family members and be there to watch over your home so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind all is taken care of.

“April took care of our two senior dogs for two weeks. When we first met April, she clearly exhibited an understanding that caring for senior dogs necessitates dedication, flexibility, and compassion. She made time each day for cuddles, petting, and simply sitting together. These moments of quiet companionship deepened the bond and reassured both our dogs that they were safe and loved. She certainly had challenges, including changes in appetite, managing their medications and dealing with separation anxiety our dogs experienced. We enjoyed peace of mind during our vacation, confident that our pets were in April's care. She maintained consistent communication through both text messages and photos. Through these communications, we observed our dogs respond with tail wagging and gentle nuzzling. We greatly appreciate our acquaintance with April and intend to involve her in all future boarding arrangements for our pets.”
“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!!”
“Erin took fantastic care of our dogs and we will continue to hire him in the future. He is very responsive, thorough, and great to work with. I know the dogs enjoy when he stops by, too!! I feel like they are in great hands with Erin.”
“Kylie was great! She came for 10 days while I was out of town. Showed up everyday and sent me pictures and details each day. My dog ended up having an upset stomach and she handled it no question. Will absolutely be using again.”
“I am beyond grateful to Mrs. Genevieve and her wonderful care for my pup, Rowe! She is super easy to work with, responds quickly, and is just all around a great person! I felt comfortable with her right away; I could sense her kind and warm energy immediately, and I knew I could trust her to treat my home and pup with respect and care. I am so happy to have found someone to look after Rowe when I travel; you will not regret hiring her for your needs too!”
About: I have owned two dogs myself, and my girlfriend owns one aswell, one being a puppy, and another gone sadly. I have experience with all ages of animals. This is currently my side hustle, and would love to care for pets! I am free most of the time but might also pick up a part time job. I am very loving, gentle, and very patient with animals. A lot of people also say their animals get a long with me really easily!
“My dog Max is fairly shy but took to her quickly. She provided daily reports and updates with how well he was doing and took care of all of his needs while we were away. In addition she watched over our cat and made sure he was taken care of as well. This was especially nice as our cat is known to be "feisty." Katherine was great and we will definitely book her again the next time we need!”
About: I have years of experience caring for pets with high or special needs and know how important it is to follow their routines closely. I’m calm, confident, and comfortable handling all kinds of temperaments, always putting your pet’s safety and comfort first. You can count on me to treat your pet with patience, understanding, and genuine care. As a stay-at-home mom, I’ve built a routine that keeps me organized and available. My flexible schedule makes it easy to fit pet care into my day—whether it’s drop-in visits, feeding, or giving a little extra love and attention. I’m reliable, responsive, and always close by when your pet needs me. In my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely—meals, walks, meds, playtime, and all. I take the time to understand what makes your pet feel secure and happy, whether that means extra cuddles, quiet space, or sticking to a strict schedule. My goal is to make them feel at home, no matter where they are.
“We've been working with Sierra for 5 months now, and she is fantastic. She checks on our dogs during the day when we're at work. She's been so good with all the animals; she plays with our high-energy, 80lb GSD puppy and takes out our little old man, who's 9lb and 15.5 years old, so she covers quite the range with our dogs. Sierra is great to communicate with, has been really responsive and collaborative on booking times. She even goes above and beyond and grabs packages when she sees them, which is not something we expect, but I think speaks to her character. I highly recommend Sierra if you're looking for someone to watch your pets.”
About: I’ve been around dogs ever since I was born and have had several over the years. I currently have two Goldendoodles who are my pride and joy, but have taken care of dogs as small as teacups and as large as mastiffs! I love walking, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, and just hanging out with dogs so this is a dream. I work full-time in corporate America, but I love staying active and getting outside whenever I can. My typical day includes balancing my professional responsibilities with dog walks that give me a chance to recharge, move, and spend quality time with pups. I’m reliable, organized, and great at sticking to schedules. Able to follow a list and instructions for each dog and will always reach out if I have questions. I’d treat your home as my own and keep it clean since that’s how I was raised.
“Lauren is great! We’ve used her multiple times for our high energy dogs. She’s reliable, communicates well, and our dogs love her! Will absolutely be booking with her in the future.”
About: Ive head pets my whole life and I am also a mom so I have a lot of patience dealing with teaching and watching over others. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can watch pets at any time. With time and organization I can watch your pets when needed. I prefer for the pets to be in the owners home and I can take care of them. If needed can also provide a safe space in my own home
“Our two dogs are always so happy to see Kimberly! She is responsive and timely in her communications and takes impeccable care of our doggos! So happy to have your help when we need to be out of town!”
“Cayden was professional and sweet to my dogs. Great communication and I appreciated her updates before, during, and after her visit. Thanks for making my long work day a little more tolerable for the pups!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Leander
Kelsie was so sweet to our babies and loved on them so well!! Our first experience with someone wasn’t so great, so it was such a relief to have Kelsie watching and taking care of them knowing they were getting the attention and care they needed. She gained another repeat client😊
Yung-Chu is such a wonderful pet sitter! This is our second time booking with her. She checked in with ranger while we were out of town and was very responsive and always on time. She took lots of pictures and she even left us a custom magnet of Ranger when we came home from our trip. 😭 so sweet and thoughtful! We will continue to keep booking with her. Thank you for taking such good care of Ranger when we were gone! 🤎
Fiona (Ziyu) was wonderful with our three dogs! She visited prior to our booked service to meet them and engage with them, and showed up exactly as scheduled. She communicated readily and sent multiple photos. One of our dogs is very reserved and barks at new people, but she warmed up to Fiona immediately. She also went above and beyond in ensuring that our house was secured when the door code would not engage the lock properly. She called and we walked through the issue on Facetime, and she took a back up key and even made an additional trip to return the key. We highly recommend Fiona, and look forward to booking her again!
I had an incredible experience with Stacy! Leaving our newly adopted pup, Lobo, for the weekend was tough—especially since this trip was so important to our family—but Stacy put our minds completely at ease. She didn't just handle all our requests; she went above and beyond by managing unexpected weather, handling technical difficulties, and even bringing in packages that arrived early. Her care made the whole process effortless. It’s easy to see why she has so many loyal clients—she’s officially won our family over. Thank you so much, Stacy!
Nia is amazing!! I’m a VERY anxious dog mom and she has followed my list of notes every time. My girl Dream is obsessed with her and I’ve never seen her warm up so fast with someone before to the point that she hardly even noticed that I left. 😅 So thankful to have found her. ❤️
I had a great experience with Jada! The process was easy and convenient, and I felt confident knowing my pets were in good hands. Communication was great, and I really appreciated the care and attention my pets received. I would definitely use Jada again and recommend it to other pet owners!
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!
Suzanna took excellent care of our 2 dogs while we were on a hard to predict labor delivery timeline. She was super flexible with a last minute move and sent great pictures and notes on every visit that made us feel like the dogs were in really great hands and we didn’t have to worry about anything.
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!!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Leander is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 per visit. 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 7,227 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Leander. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Leander 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!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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 , 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.
