“Always love having Caroline watch our Sophie. Her communication is amazing, and she always sends the sweetest pictures. We feel completely at ease knowing Sophie is in her care.”
“Wow! Lynn and Mark did a great job and the pictures were awesome. I could tell that my cat was happy and interacting with them. Reliable too! Will book them again.”
“Cat was absolutely amazing and exceeded all of my expectations! She sent detailed updates and photos after every visit, and it was clear from the very beginning that she truly understands cats and their needs. We were away on a long trip, and I was extremely nervous about leaving our cat behind. But within just a couple of days, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. I couldn't have asked for a better sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care!”
“Liz was great!!! She was really good with Otis and understands how to handle geriatric dogs and their needs. It made going on our trip easier to know that he was in good hands. We will definiantly book with her again and highly recommend her. Thanks for taking good care of our furbaby!”
About: Along with having three dogs currently (ranging ages) of my own and volunteering/fostering at various animal shelters in my life, I have a love for getting to know each individual personality of every animal. I have a very calm and loving disposition that really helps ease animals while also keeping a standard of discipline and training. I have a fairly open availability before I’m back at TXST for the new semester. I am very physically active so I appreciate animals that require walk or play! I love to keep up with them… or at least try. I have a large backyard with plenty of open space. I recognize other pets might not always get along with my own so I utilize all the senses slowly to acclimate all animals to eachother. At other people’s home I greatly appreciate extensive rules and notes on the pet and home to ensure I care for everything accordingly.
“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”
“Errin was the perfect choice for the care of my dog Timmy. She provided great care for him, lots of petting/cuddles & outside time. I’m so happy that I found her after my usual sitter quit the business. I plan to use Errin again in the future. Thank you Errin.”
About: My family has had animals my whole life. Besides being the sibling most responsible for the animals (both dogs and cats), I also would walk and sit for my neighbors dogs as well. Now that I’m an adult, I still have and care for my own animals and would love to help you with yours when you need an extra hand. I work days during the week and have weekends free to help with your animals when you’re out of town. I can also do some evenings if you’re planning a date night or out of town for work. I have two dogs and two cats. Rather than shock your pet at my home, I’d prefer to come to you and care for them as you see fit. I can walk, play, and feed them.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years and truly love being around animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, including puppies and older dogs who need a little extra care. I’m happy to follow any specific routines or instructions to keep your pet happy and stress-free. I have a pretty flexible schedule right now, so I’m able to give pets a lot of attention. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and can easily work around your pet’s normal routine to keep things consistent and stress-free. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions closely and make sure your pet feels secure, calm, and cared for at all times. I’m attentive to behavior, routines, and any special needs, and I provide updates so you have peace of mind while you’re away. I also treat your home with respect and keep everything clean and secure.
About: I've been an animal owner, caregiver, and caretaker since I was very young and would love the opportunity to give your pet an A+ experience while you're away! I am currently getting my masters degree online, so I have ample time to take care of your pets during the morning, daytime, and evening. I always confer with the owner about their preferences and daily routine, and try to match that as best I can. I am very gentle with animals especially when getting to know them.
“Chelsey was awesome checking in on Murph while I was out of town. She sent pics and descriptions of each visit which was very reassuring to me because it was my first time not boarding him. Murphy loves her and I felt very comfortable having him in her care. I will definitely be using her again!!”
“Kinzi is refreshingly professional and dependable. She was thorough during our initial meeting which provided peace of mind while we were gone. Looking forward to hiring her again in the near 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!!”
“Catherine is so wonderful and understanding. At the last minute when our sitter cancelled on us, and we needed someone to watch Ace. Catherine was able to help us out, not once but twice and I will forever be thankful for her. She’s God sent and Ace has a sitter for life!!”
“Joel is an amazing sitter. We just met him 2 weeks ago and we had multiple visits for meet and greet and then today he watched the dogs on his own for the first time. Murphy who is normally a nervous nelly, he didn't bark at all at him. Marley loves her cuddles. Joel is calm and super nice around the dogs and we would always book him again.”
About: Dogs have been in my life since I was born. I am well versed in canine needs. As well as having a dog most of my life, I have volunteered at shelters and taken care of friends pets (dogs and cats) while they're away. I have experience giving medications as needed, simple training, and caring for senior pets and pets with physical limitations as well. I work from home and have flexibility with my schedule so I can be available for short-term and long-term pet care. I may also be available for shorter notice care. With pets new to me and vice-versa, I will allow them to approach me first if there is nervous energy. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Those animals that enjoy cuddles, I will cuddle; those that enjoy play, I will play; those that prefer space, I will give them their space so long as safety and needs are met.
“Morgan was absolutely AMAZING!! This is our second time leaving our Benji with her and we trust her 100%! Our Benji loves her and her kids! He had a few accidents and she was so sweet to clean it up for us and let us know where they were. She also sent us videos of him and always gave us the best updates! She also started our roomba before we came home which was so thoughtful! Don’t think I’m ever getting another sitter!!”
“Definitely five stars for Meni. She’s a great communicator, prompt, and treated my dog and two kitties with the upmost care. We’ll definitely be using her services again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and other pets since I was 12. Friends and family have relied on me for taking care of their pets! I’m currently working remotely so I’ll have plenty of time to play and care. Available for boarding and home sitting weekdays and weekends. I have one small breed dog. I don’t have a fence or yard but I live in front of a big field and park where I take my small breed to play with and without leash.
“We love Jada and would not hesitate to hire her to puppy sit our fur babies. Our dogs love Jada and she takes her time and cares for our pets as if they were her own. We feel like Jada is a part of our family she is very good with animals. She will be our go to sitter every time we need a sitter.”

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.
This is our forth time having Jordyn watch our pets, and once again she was absolutely wonderful. We always feel at ease knowing they’re in her care. She follows all of our instructions carefully (which isn’t easy with multiple pets on different diets!), keeps us updated, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about them. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a tidy house, which we really appreciate. It’s such a relief to have someone we can fully trust while we’re away. We’ll definitely continue booking with Jordyn and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
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!!
Leah did an amazing job taking care of our dogs! She was incredibly kind, attentive, and caring throughout the entire visit. She even took the initiative to put our trash out and bring the trash bin back into the garage something that was completely beyond what we expected. We truly have no words to express how grateful we are for her thoughtfulness and willingness to go the extra mile. Thank you so much, Leah! We would absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.
5 ⭐️ I needed to leave on short notice, and Nigel and Ziggy needed adhere to a strict schedule for food and potty as they always have. Demona went above and beyond for my sweet boys (I think they prefer her more than me now!) She was very communicative and followed instructions very well. I know for sure she treated them as if they were her own canine companions. Can not recommend her enough! Thanks, Demona!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Leander stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 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 dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Leander with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
