“Rebecca is a wonderful sitter! My two pugs and lab looked and acted exactly the same as when I left them. They were with Rebecca in her home for four nights. I returned from my trip to three happy, healthy pups!”
“Sarah was wonderful! Oliver seemed great and unstressed. She kept us updated daily and included pictures. She also deadheaded our roses! Couldn’t have asked for more. A+”
“We are a repeat client of Kayla‘s. She routinely watches our two Great Danes and cat. She is very personable, responsible, kind and communicates well. We felt at ease, leaving our pets with her. Throughout her stay, she kept us updated with details and photos. We are very happy with her services and recommend her.”
“Lauren took looked after out two cats and our house for over two weeks. She provided daily updates and photos of our kitties, which were greatly appreciated. It was obvious they quickly became very comfortable with her. When we returned, our cats were happy and relaxed, which hasn't been the case on other occasions when we're out of town. Lauren took very good care of them, gave them plenty of attention and affection, which enabled us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about their welfare. Our house was also well looked after, she left it spotless. I would definitely recommend her services, and we plan to book her again.”
About: I have had dogs since I was 5. I grew up with my grandma showing dogs up in Minnesota. I’ve taken care of friends dogs while they’ve been out of town. We’ve fostered dogs while their owns were getting them certified as Emotional Support due to breed restrictions. I am a proud mom to Two year old Cowboy Corgis(Corgi x blue heeler). I currently work remotely doing dental billing and operation support. I have been private pet sitting for the last four years and recently had some clients pass on or move away so I have reopened my books. My schedule is super flexible to accommodate your pets needs. We have a fenced yard that locks. We also do have our dog kennel trained; as well as 3 different size crates. He is trained with positive reinforcement, treats and love.
About: I’ve owned 5 dogs, pet sat for a dogs including a senior dog, trained and taken care of my own puppies, and don’t forget also cats! I am fully free to watch any animal at any time, I want this job to benefit me in my career but also as a human being helping you feel comfortable for someone watching your pets. All my dogs are crate trained, knows tons of tricks, and of course spoiled because they deserve it! Although my dogs don’t enjoy little kids very much, it is because they are very protective and unsure, due to my dogs all having a mix of border collie in them. Very protective
About: Animals have been part of my life for more than 40 years, and caring for pets isn't just something I do—it's something I genuinely love. From energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention, I understand that every animal has unique needs and deserves personalized care. As a pet sitter, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing dependable, attentive care and plenty of affection while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand how important peace of mind is when you're entrusting someone with your furry family member. You can count on regular updates, clear communication, and reliable care every step of the way. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet sitting is a natural fit for my lifestyle. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to be mobile and accommodate visits, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. Rather than being tied to an office, I can provide reliable care and attention when pets need it most. As a lifelong animal lover, I enjoy spending time with pets and helping families feel confident that their furry family members are well cared for while they’re away. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes so pets can remain comfortable in the environment they know best. I follow each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and plenty of affection and attention. I understand that consistency helps pets feel secure when their owners are away. I take time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and any special needs before the visit. During my stay, I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for in their own home.
“They took such good care of our 2 girls, sent plenty of pictures and left the house spotless.. We would highly recommend them !!… Plan on using them again for our next trips !”
“"We can't express how grateful we have found Jason as our dog sitter. If you're looking for a dog sitter who is not only competent and trustworthy but also genuinely passionate about dogs, I wholeheartedly recommend Jason. He provided us with peace of mind during our time away and became a true friend to our furry companions. We'll definitely be reaching out to him for all our future dog-sitting needs!"”
About: Hi, my name is Concepcion but friends call me CJ. I have owned and loved dogs and cats since I was child. I have experience raising puppies/kitten to senior age pets. I have experience handling small dogs and large dogs. I have a completely open available schedule. I am free to care for your fur baby any day and any time. I understand our schedules can become hectic and unexpected changes in our life happen. I have experienced it myself and I know how stressful ensuring your pet is cared for can be. I have your back with my completely free schedule. I live in an apartment with a large dog park with two friendly dogs of my own that love play dates. I am also comfortable and reliable taking care of pets in your home as well.
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.
“Courtney was so great with our two dogs! We usually leave them with family but couldn’t this trip. It was our first time hiring a dog sitter in many years and we were so nervous! The dogs were happy, well cared for, and we got lots of communication on how they were doing or any questions Courtney had to make sure the dogs were cared for properly. Thanks and will definitely book Courtney again if needed!”
“Tina took such great care of Louie over Christmas! I never had to worry about him while I was away. She sent tons of great photos and took him on lots of walks. She left the apartment clean and tidy and even took out the trash! I am so thankful she was available!”
“Makaelah is a fantastic pet sitter! She stayed in our home with our senior dog for five days while we were away getting married. We came home to a happy, healthy pup and the house was just as we left it, We will definitely ask her to pet sit for us again. Highly recommend ❤️🐾❤️🐾”
“Trevor was the perfect sitter! He went the extra mile with lots of photo/video updates and gave lots of attention to Colby making sure he had a great balance of play and cuddles. He also took great care of our house (which felt even cleaner when we got home than when we left. 😆) Will absolutely be booking Trevor again. Easy to relax on a trip when we knew things were so well taken care of at home.”
“Sarah did a wonderful job with our two dogs while we were away. She kept us well informed with texts and pictures, and we just really appreciated her attention to detail and how much she cared. We felt completely at ease while we were gone, knowing that she was taking great care of things.”
“Rachal is so patient and a calming presence for our very anxious fearful doggie. Communication and coordination with Rachal was seamless and we received several updates and photos of the doggos completely relaxed and happy.”
“Got it! Here’s a more natural version with your note about being repeat customers: ⸻ We’ve used Kimmie previously, and there’s a reason we keep coming back—she’s amazing. She takes such good care of our dogs, always making sure they get their medicine, playing with them, and giving them tons of love and attention. It’s clear she really cares about them, and they’re always happy and relaxed when we get home. We feel so lucky to have found her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Leander
We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Tessa! From our very first meeting, we knew our girls, Millie and Boo, would be in great hands, but she somehow managed to exceed every expectation we had. Throughout our trip, Tessa was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates and detailed accounts of how the girls were doing. She was attentive to their individual personalities, routines, and needs, including administering medication and keeping an eye on a few minor health and behavioral concerns. It was such a relief knowing they were being cared for by someone so genuinely compassionate and thoughtful. What impressed us most, however, was how far above and beyond she went. Boo can be anxious and reactive around other dogs, and without us even asking, Tessa took the initiative to work with her on confidence-building, desensitization, and positive reinforcement training. She also spent time teaching both girls new skills and reinforcing good behaviors. She even provided us with an incredibly thorough breakdown of everything she’d worked on, what she’d learned, and how we could continue making progress. We were genuinely blown away by the time, patience, and care she put into this. Beyond taking exceptional care of our girls, Tessa was equally attentive to our home, helping with plants, packages, and other little things throughout our stay. She even left us a thoughtful gift! It’s abundantly clear that Tessa doesn’t view pet sitting as simply a job. She genuinely loves animals and puts her whole heart into caring for them. We returned home to two happy, well-loved girls, and we couldn’t be more grateful. We feel incredibly lucky to have found Tessa and would absolutely trust her with Millie and Boo again. We recommend Tessa wholeheartedly!
Kylie was absolutely incredible. From the moment we left, we felt completely confident knowing Moira and our home were in her hands. She was attentive, dependable, communicative, and clearly cared for Moira like she was her own. Just as importantly, Kylie was the ultimate house guest. She took wonderful care of our home and left everything incredibly clean and well cared for. Coming home to a happy dog and a home that had been treated with such respect made the entire experience even better. It’s hard to put a price on the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone you trust is taking care of both your dog and your home. Kylie gave us exactly that. We would book her again without hesitation and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone responsible, thoughtful, and genuinely caring.
We had a great experience having Kelsie watch Melon and Bailey. She arrived right on schedule, followed all of our routines and instructions seamlessly, and was incredibly proactive with updates and questions while we were away. Knowing our dogs were in such attentive, reliable hands made our trip stress-free.
We are so thankful to have found Shannan to watch our Bella. For the first time leaving home , missed but did not worry about her . Her communication is outstanding. Our dog loved her immediately at meet up so we knew she was the one We have a ring doorbell camera and every time she left out the door , we heard her tell our baby that she would be back and I absolutely adore that . We do the same . She treated Bella as if she was her own . Highly recommended Shannah .
Kayla was very flexible with our last minute travel delays, she dealt with terrible weather and still got the dogs outside, ensured they had play time, and kept our house clean and taken care of! She is as communicative as we like, and prompt to respond. Will definitely re-hire
Treka took great care of our girl Poco while we were away on a work trip. She checked in often with updates and photos. She was respectful and also looked after our home, taking out the trash bins and bringing in packages for us. We will definitely book her again!

The average cost of House Sitting in Leander is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $128 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Leander walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Leander maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
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.
