“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marina has been an amazing pet sitter for Benny! She is incredibly flexible with scheduling, communicates consistently, and always keeps us updated while we’re away. Most importantly, she takes wonderful care of Benny and treats him like he’s her own. It gives us such peace of mind knowing he’s in such loving and capable hands. We highly recommend Marina to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“SARA is an amazing dog walker. She dealt with our dog not wanting to walk and got him out of the house having a blast. Could not recommend her more for any pet sitting or dog walking needs. She’s a great bright amazing person with wonderful energy and an ability to communicate with animals unlike anybody else on this app, she’s the best.”
“Rebecca seemed perfectly at ease with my pups and was a very relaxed presence for me as well. I am confident she’ll be able to deal with any situation that might come up while I’m away. It feels good knowing my pups will be in competent caring hands.”
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.
“Stacy was great, she really made me feel comfortable having her take care of GiGi. Gigi was happy to have a new friend. Gigi scape her playpen again 🤣 don’t know how she does it . 😝”
About: I’ve done pet-sitting many many times over the years. I love ALL animals and breeds ( yes, including big “aggressive” dogs!) My whole life I’ve grown up with at-least one dog in the house, usually a boxer breed, so I am very familiar with bigger breeds, however I have many friends & family with smaller breeds that I also love. I have a pit-bull and cat of my own whom I love very much, so I understand how difficult it is to trust a stranger with taking care of a pet. I promise to give all the fur babies all the love!!!! I do work, but my schedule just depends. Usually I close, which means I have the day available to take care of all the fur babies! I live in and apartment with 1 dog and 1 cat, both are about 1 year old. My cat is very chill, and gets along with other animals great. My dog is very energetic and always wants to play, and is usually very friendly to other animals. Even though he is still a puppy, he’s relatively big. I’m always willing to come and assist your fur baby at your own home though incase you are not comfortable with your pet around other animals!
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.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I’ve always had three or more dogs in my home. My mom had a pet sitting business while I was in middle school and I’d help her. I’ve taken care of newborn puppies, dogs with medical conditions, and senior pups. I am very free for pet care. If I am doing overnight stays at your house I promise to only be gone for about 4 hours of the day. I will let you know if something comes up and that has to change but I try to stay very consistent and at your home with your pet. I am most experienced in dog and cat sitting but I can also take care of other pets as well. If you have a dog I will usually stay with it where it wants in your home. If not I’ll make sure to check on them every hour if not more frequently. I make sure they go to the restroom on a timely basis depending on their needs. I am very good about checking a water bowl to make sure it’s full and keeping feeding times scheduled. I will watch over your house and protect your pets at all cost if it comes to it while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a gentle heart and a dependable nature. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities — from playful puppies to senior snugglers. I believe every pet deserves love, patience, and consistency. Whether your furry friend needs long walks, belly rubs, or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I provide a clean, peaceful environment complete with a relaxing garden area that gives a retreat like feel. Why You’ll Love Working With Me: ✅ Reliable and communicative ✅ Comfortable with all breeds and temperaments ✅ Focused on safety, affection, and fun I spend most of my time at home, currently working a remote job that allows flexibility and lots of cuddle time with pets. In my free time, I care for my patio garden with the help of my two sweet Pomeranian pups. We have been working on making a patio garden that gives a relaxing retreat-like feel to play in. Safety is top priority for me ! I keep a clean environment and watch closely to eliminate anything that could be a safety issue while your pet is here. My dogs are fully vaccinated and friendly and know when to back off and give other dogs space. They typically sleep most of the day next to me while I work.
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.

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 have worked and shadowed in veterinary clinics/rehabs and pet boarding/daycare facilities, I volunteer sometimes at my local animal shelter, I am currently in college studying kinesiology to do canine rehabilitation, and I also sit and walk my family friends dogs and cats occasionally. I am currently working part-time at a pet boarding/daycare facility called Paws Landing, so I will have plenty of time to dog/cat sit or walk! My shifts for my current job are 5:30am-1:30pm and 1:30pm-9:30pm so it just depends when I work to know when I am available. I chose my own hours at my job so I can totally work around my schedule to fit you in! In client’s homes, I take the time to understand your pet’s needs, behavior cues, and comfort zones. I will make sure to follow every feeding and medication instructions precisely, and make sure there is no changes in behavior or health with your baby. As I said before, I work at a pet boarding facility so I know how to see changes in behavior and health, and I am used to feeding and administering medication to dogs and cats. I will also keep your home nice and clean, just the way I found it.
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.
“Elizabeth was great! Sent me cute photos of my pup and cleaned up after one of my pups got excited and had a small accident. She is very responsive. And my girls were happy when I got home! I’ll definitely use her again!”

Julie is great!!! Our schedule for our dogs walks are flexible but Julie is always communicative before she plans to come & after walks! Our dog has been noticeably more happy when we get home from work on the days that Julie comes to take him on a walk!! Highly recommend her
Dree was amazing while taking care of my dog this past week. She was always very attentive and kept me updated with lots of photos and videos, which made me feel really at ease knowing everything was going well. My dog clearly had a great time with her, and it showed in how happy and comfortable he looked. She is an excellent pet caregiver—very professional, reliable, and genuinely caring. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets.
Kelsie is amazing. My 3 dogs 🐕 are super excited for her visit. They love her walks and company. She has developed a great rapport with my 4 legged kids. Thank you Kelsie for everything, I see a difference in my busy kids. We will continue to use Kelsie for future walks.
My dog absolutely loved Jordan. She was a great communicator, always reliable, and incredibly kind about accommodating my schedule. My dog was genuinely excited to see her every time, which says everything. Jordan did a fantastic job overall, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker.

The average cost for Dog Walking in Leander on Rover is $18.87 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Leander. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Leander.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leander. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
