“Thank you Lynn, although Kali was elusive we were pleased there was someone checking on her. We hope she will become more people friendly in time. We recommend you for anyone needing their pet cared for.”
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!
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and grew up with pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I have experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes, from small dogs to larger breeds, and I currently have a Golden Retriever and a cat of my own. One thing that sets me apart is that I work from home most of the time, which gives me a lot of flexibility and allows me to be very present with the pets in my care. Whether I’m doing drop-ins or boarding, I’m able to provide plenty of attention, affection, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than leaving pets alone for long stretches. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for. My goal is for your pet to feel as comfortable and loved with me as they do at home. When I’m available for pet sitting, boarding, or drop-in visits, I make sure I’m not working so I can give the pets in my care plenty of time and attention. For boarding stays, I’m available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and companionship. I love being able to spend the day with them rather than leaving them alone for long periods of time, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I take pet safety and comfort very seriously and always do my best to make sure each pet feels secure, relaxed, and at home. I have a Golden Retriever and a cat of my own, so I’m very familiar with caring for different personalities and making sure everyone has the space and attention they need. For pets staying in my home, I supervise interactions, follow their normal feeding and walking routines, and make sure they get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m also happy to accommodate any specific instructions, routines, medications, or preferences you have for your pet. For drop-ins or care in your home, I’m respectful of your space and make sure your pet’s routine stays as consistent as possible. I’ll keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“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!!”
“Fabtastic choice! Sophia was very communicative, timely, and attentive to our pup + cats needs! She went above and beyond to make sure our senior boy was well taken care of while we were away. Would recommend big time!”
“Ashley is amazing and so flexible! When my return from a work trip was delayed, she was so helpful watching my kitties for an extra week! She takes great photos and very responsive to questions. She’s fantastic!”
“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. ❤️”
“We have 3 playful pups who can be a handful, and we are so happy to have found Hilary! The dogs all seem to adore her and she is so good with them. She is reliable, quick to respond, always sends lots of pictures. Greatful and will definitely continue to reach out to Hilary in the future when we need someone to check on the dogs!”
About: Over the years, I’ve regularly helped care for my sister’s Rat Terrier and Chihuahuas, from feeding and walking them to giving them plenty of attention and companionship. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know their personalities and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can make time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or their own home, I make sure they’re fed, exercised, comfortable, and given plenty of attention while keeping their space clean and following their owner’s instructions.
“I would definitely recommend Meni and will book with her again in the future! She took great care of our fur baby and was even able to refund part of the cost when I had to return from the trip early due to an illness. Thank you so much!”
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.
“Tracy was great with Bailey and quick on her toes when she was presented with an unexpected challenge. I felt safe leaving our home in her hands, she made sure the door was closed each time she left and did exactly what I asked of her. Will use her in the future for sure. Thank you, Mark”
“Joel had us cracking up at the notes that he sent after each visit. Clearly Addie had the best time while Joel looked after her. Joel made sure to give Addie all the love and attention while we were away, and helped us to relax and enjoy our vacation. Addie has made a friend for life. Thanks for taking great care of Addie, Joel!!”
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.
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.
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.
About: I have care with cats and dogs of varying age and size. 2 years or older dogs. Administering medicine in food or directly to them. I'm a homeschool mom making money for fun stuff. My kids love dogs as we have 2 large ones ourselves. Overnights usually open and a few days a week. I have a fenced backyard and a yard stake out front. I dedicated dog couch and kids to give them love and attention. Dogs age 2 and older welcome and between 30-70lbs

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Leander
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!
Our fur babies absolutely LOVE Kelsie! 🥹🩷 It’s gotten to the point where they’re way more excited to see her than they are to see us, which honestly makes me so happy! 😂 Thank you again for loving and taking such good care of our fur babies! We truly appreciate you! 🩷🐾
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!!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , 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 Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
