“Leah was absolutely amazing!! She did WAY more than she needed to and everything she did put me so at ease that my dogs were being well taken care of. Will be using her again 10/10 :)”
About: I have always had at least one dog in the family since I was a baby. Medium and small dogs mainly, though some large. I do have experience with puppies. Currently not working and am fully available to care for pets, I will be resuming college courses in Spring 2027. I may pick up a part time position during Fall 2026, so availability may change. I am capable of walking dogs, feeding them, and giving them water. Cleaning up any accidents made in my absence, and playing are also in my skill set.
About: I have personal experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a dog back home in China, and I am currently living with two cats here in the U.S. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, potty breaks, cleaning litter boxes, and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow each owner’s instructions to make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a hybrid work schedule and only go into the office 1–2 days a week. The rest of the week, I work from home, which allows me to spend plenty of time with your pets throughout the day. I’m available for feeding, playtime, litter box care, check-ins, and lots of attention and company. On my work-from-home days, your pets will have someone around for most of the day. I have a spacious home with a large, fully fenced yard, giving pets plenty of room to feel comfortable, play, and explore safely. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions. I understand that every dog and cat has a different personality, so I’ll give them the attention, affection, or personal space they need. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away and contact you right away if I notice anything unusual.
“Rebecca was very professional and kept my dog comfortable the whole time we were gone on vacation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for the best sitter for their dog.”
“Yung-Chu C was absolutely wonderful to work with and took excellent care of our tiny tortie cat, iO. She followed all the instructions and was communicative and friendly. The daily pictures of iO were super adorable and appreciated. Yung-Chu C. is awesome and the whole experience set us at ease to see how comfortable iO was with her while we were away. We will definitely hire her again when we need to travel!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals throughout my life. I currently have cats who are extremely friendly! They love to play! I am trusted by neighbors, friends and Acquaintances with their fur babies. I would love to watch your pets and make them feel at home! I work remotely and have a flexible schedule to care for pets. We really enjoy caring for animals and making sure that family members are safely cared for while their owners are away! I will follow the instructions left by the owners on how to best care for their best. Each pet has their own comforts and personality.
“Sherron did an amazing job taking care of our senior dog while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We really appreciate the care and attention she gave him and would definitely recommend her services!”
About: Hi! I'm a former elementary school teacher, mom, and lifelong animal lover. I absolutely adore meeting and spending time with animals. As the proud owner of 3 dogs: a German Shepard, Lucy who I call my "Velcro dog" and 2 sweet mixed-breed rescues, Cooper and Knox. I know how important it is to know your babies are being taken care of when you're away. I'd love to meet with you and your dog(s) to help bring you peace of mind when you can't be with them. I have a flexible schedule, so I am available throughout the day to check in on and walk your dog(s). I'm happy to work with you to find a schedule that best suits your needs as well as your dog's. I am happy to follow any routines and procedures you have in place for your dog for feeding, sleeping, etc. Whether it's crating them, feeding them at a particular time, playing with them outside or inside, and of course, giving them plenty of belly rubs (and treats if they're allowed). Over the years, I've had dogs who required daily medication, so I am familiar with administering meds if needed as well. My goal is to ensure that your dog is safe, healthy, and happy and I can send updates to you as well for peace of mind.
“First time to use rover and very impressed! Thanks to Adeleine for making it so easy for us to trust someone who can really take care of our fur babies! Communication from the very beginning has been wonderful - she responds quickly! The photos she sent showed how much our fur babies enjoyed her company! Will be using rover again and will be working again with Adeleine! Thank you again Adeleine and Rover!!!”
“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.

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!
Erika was absolutely wonderful with our 2 cats and because we added an extra day, due to our flight being delayed, she stepped up and continued to take care of them. She Even cleaned the litter boxes a few times! The cats looked forward to seeing her & getting lots of attention! Highly recommend Erika for your pet needs!
Jennifer was great with my 2 senior cats. She asked lots of questions up front to be prepared and kept me updated on how they were doing. One of my cats has accidents and vomits a lot and Jennifer cleaned all the spots so I didn’t return home to a mess. Would definitely trust her to take care of my cats again.
Madyson was awesome!! She treated my anxious little kitty with so much patience and kindness and she ended up warming up to Madyson at the end. Madyson gave super detailed visit summaries and It made me feel so safe leaving my cat with her. She took such good care of her and left all her spaces spotless. Thanks Madyson!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Leander on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,501 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Leander. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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
- 96% 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 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.
