“Kelsie was great with our big pup! She gave regular updates including photos throughout the weekend. She was really easy to communicate with leading up to and throughout the time she stayed at our home. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Sarah was beyond incredible! It was our first time using Rover and she made the process a breeze. She is so kind and such an animal lover like us which make us feel so comfortable leaving our pup in her care. Plus she sends lots of photos and is an excellent communicator. Not only did our dog love her but we came home to a clean and pristine house! We weren’t expecting her to do that and it was so nice of her to do so after our long day of travel. We will 10000% use Sarah again. Finally someone we trust with our dog and our home!”
“We were so grateful to have Rebecca care for our pets…. Her communication was prompt and informative, and she did all that we asked. We will definitely arrange for her as a pet sitter again!”
“Nathan was absolutely wonderful as our house and dog sitter while we were away for Spring Break! From the start, he was communicative, reliable, and made us feel completely at ease leaving both our home and our dog in his care. He stayed in our home and treated it with great respect, everything was clean and just as we left it when we returned. Most importantly, our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly got plenty of attention and exercise while we were gone. Nathan kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. We truly appreciated how attentive and responsible he was, and it made a big difference knowing everything at home was in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Nathan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter, and we would love to have him back again in the future!”
“Joel was awesome. His communication and updates were great. Dionysus loved the time with him and Joel took great care of D and the house. I cannot thank him enough for coming through for me given the short notice stay.”
“Came home to two very happy pups! Kayla was great to work with… even helped out last minute; kept me updated every day! As a bonus, my house is cleaner than when I left it!”
“Marina was fantastic with our crew of five cats! She was incredibly communicative throughout the sit, sending regular updates with photos that put our minds at ease every day. She gave all the kitties their regular outside cube time and even kept our fish thriving. What really stood out was how she won over our most particular cat, which is not an easy feat and speaks to her patience and genuine care. We’d trust Marina with our cats (and fish!) again in a heartbeat. Highly recommend!”
“Tessa is so sweet and kind and truly has a heart for dogs! She went above and beyond in caring for my little Maggie and our home. We have definitely found our forever dog sitter 🐶”
“Kristina is the sweetest person to care for your precious babies when you are going out of town. Awesome communication and the most adorable pictures of our baby. Our girl loves attention and spending time with people. She also likes her alone time but the need for pets usually wins. Kristina was wonderful enough to provide all the pets our little girl wanted. We will definitely rebook with Kristina in future events if she is available.”
“Brandon was great with my dog Louie! He was very professional and provided us with updates as needed! We came back from our vacation to a happy and well cared for pup! I would absolutely book him again!”
“So grateful to have found Kat & Rachel! Great communication and updates allowed me to feel at ease knowing my dobie and senior kitty were in good hands. I will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Sarah was so kind and she always kept us In the loop with the boys. Even just simply messaging saying that they’re all good. The little extras she did made our family feel great about our choice and would book her again no questions asked”
“Kylie was absolutely amazing with my dogs, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the very beginning, her communication was clear, timely, and reassuring, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She surely made sure my dogs were happy and well cared for. It’s obvious that Kylie genuinely loves what she does. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to my dogs’ needs, and they warmed up to her right away. My dogs were relaxed, happy, and clearly comfortable in her care - which says everything. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and truly great with dogs, Kylie is the one. I would absolutely trust her again without hesitation!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Leander
Kelsie was absolutely outstanding! I can’t even begin to express how amazing she is. I was so nervous about leaving our fur babies with anyone because they can be particular about people, but they absolutely loved Kelsie from the moment they met her. She gave them so much love, cuddles, and attention, and completely spoiled them while we were away. She also kept us updated with messages and photos, which made being away from them so much easier and gave us so much peace of mind. When we got home from our trip, our fur babies were calm, happy, and completely at ease. That says everything about the care they received. I truly couldn’t be happier with our experience. If you’re thinking about booking with Kelsie but are feeling a little nervous, don’t be! She will treat your fur babies like they’re her own and make them feel so loved that it’s almost as if you never left home. 🩷
Kayla is always a wonderful, clean house guest and most importantly dog sitter. I'm so thankful our senior pups can have a familiar face watch them in the comfort of our own home to minimize any undue stress. She makes it possible for us to go on vacation! Thanks again Kayla!
Mirra is a dedicated and communicative sitter. Our dogs CLEARLY adore her and whenever we come home they are all happy and relaxed. We have always got regular pics and updates and it makes us feel comfortable leaving our pups in her care. She also takes great care of our home.

Mandy watched our two dogs while we were on vacation. She communicated so well and provided picture and video updates daily. We are very careful who we leave our pups with and feel totally comfortable leaving them with Mandy. We highly recommend her if anyone is looking for Rover help.
Tessa was wonderful during her stay of four nights with our little morkie Coco they bonded she took her for walks everyday and played with her. She also has dog training experience and worked on some training with her as well. We felt that she communicated with us throughout our trip and sent us pictures and videos to relax our minds that Coco was in good hands! We would recommend Tessa to anyone and will definitely be calling on her for future trips!
Treka was a superb pet-sitter and house-sitter! She took great care of my dog, Bindi (who loves her!) as well as my house. Great communication throughout the entire booking. It was peace of mind knowing that Bindi was so well looked after while I was away - which is an absolute luxury. 5-Stars!!! I will definitely be booking with Treka again!
Alexis was wonderful with Archie! She took great care of him and kept me updated with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. The house was clean and picked up when I got home, and everything was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend her and would gladly have her help again.
Brianna was great. She was very professional and reassured me that Dunkin would be well cared for. She was respectful of our home and she sent me many photos and detailed notes that kept me feeling at ease. I will definitely be booking her again for future services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Leander on Rover is $46.39 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,554 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Leander. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leander. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
