“Stacy has been my first experience with Rover and I could not be any happier. She has been very reliable and always quick to respond to any questions I may have and/or discussions about the visit in general. She provides the best daily photos and I can tell my dog is happy and more than comfortable with Stacy. I have peace of mind knowing Stacy is the one taking care of my dog and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing her services.”
“Kelsie was so sweet to our babies and loved on them so well!! Our first experience with someone wasn’t so great, so it was such a relief to have Kelsie watching and taking care of them knowing they were getting the attention and care they needed. She gained another repeat client😊”
“She was so kind and took extra time to ensure her potty break and kept me well informed. I really appreciated her attention to details. Her communication was excellent”
“Nathaniel did a great job taking care of our dog while we were away. We had a fairly demanding schedule with four visits a day. He was reliable, responsive, and consistently made sure she was fed, received her medications and was well taken care of. We would recommend him to others looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
“To say Jes went above and beyond is an understatement!! My dogs did not make it easy but she handled their chaos better than I could ask for! I would have Jes again any time!”
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.
“Jordyn was absolutely wonderful! We had not had anyone but family take care of our pup so we were apprehensive but Jordyn made us feel so comfortable! The photos and feedback we got were so appreciated and Bruce had a great time! 10/10 would recommend!”
About: Certified in pet CPR and First Aid. Student at Animal Behavioral College receiving Obedience Dog Training Licenses. Currently employed as a Manager at a dog boarding and daycare facility. I have worked as a kennel technician since 2021. My full time job is scheduled during the morning so I am available in afternoons to give your pup mental and physical stimulation. From play, walks, cuddles and more. I have a Pet First Aid kit with me at all times. I do not mind cameras in the main areas of house to monitor the quality care. I prefer clear communication with the pet owners, with providing updates on your pups well being while under my care.
“Cynthia was absolutely incredible. The love, care, and dedication she showed our girls while we were away went far beyond what we expected. She constantly went the extra mile and treated them as if they were her own. When we got home, our dogs were so calm, happy, and relaxed that I was almost a little jealous, they barely seemed to miss us! That says everything about how safe, loved, and well cared for they felt with Cynthia. If you’re looking for someone to trust with your pets, hire her with complete confidence. She is truly exceptional, and we couldn’t recommend her more highly. Thank you, Cynthia, for taking such amazing care of our girls!”
“Maxene was so great with our senior boy. She was on time, thorough, and thoughtful. She provided photos and a detailed report after every check in. She allowed me to feel comfortable leaving our senior dog for the weekend because I knew he was being taken care of well and getting his medications on time.”
“I asked Terra to come check in on my puppy and feed him. She was punctual, responded to me quickly and I received photo updates. She took good care of my 5 month old pup. I look forward to using her again.”
“Joel is an amazing sitter. We just met him 2 weeks ago and we had multiple visits for meet and greet and then today he watched the dogs on his own for the first time. Murphy who is normally a nervous nelly, he didn't bark at all at him. Marley loves her cuddles. Joel is calm and super nice around the dogs and we would always book him again.”
“Traci was the best caregiver we’ve ever had! She took our lab on walks every day, playtime at the duck pond, playtime at the dog park, and even on errands. Traci also sent photos of our dog each time she checked on her. This gave us a greater sense of security in knowing our dog was taken care of while we vacationed. I would highly recommend Traci and will definitely use her again!”
“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!”
“Catherine was very friendly and I could tell she loves animals a lot. She was very helpful in the stressful moment of dog sitting and made it less stressful missing our babies.”
“Chelsey is amazing. She is kind, professional, and our dog Maggie loved her immediately. Chelsey took the time to get to know our dog, her play and food habits, and she makes sure Maggie is loved for the entire visit. My fiance and I loved meeting Chelsey so we booked weekly recurring visits to help Maggie have more fun when we are at work.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Leander
Yung-Chu was a wonderful pet sitter! My cat is very timid and hesitant around most people, and she was incredibly patient and understanding with him. He actually came out and made real progress with her, which says a lot about how well she handled him. I also really appreciated that she accommodated a meet and greet beforehand. She sent updates with photos after every visit, and I could see how much effort she was putting in with him, so I always felt he was in good hands while I was away. She followed all my directions, was completely reliable, and left everything tidy and in place. I’m so grateful, and I’ll definitely be booking her again!
Suzanna has helped us out in the past with out kitty needs while we were out of town and has always been great, but this time she went above and beyond. Our cats chewed through the camera cord that I use to monitor their automatic feeders and I was convinced something was wrong with 2/3 feeders. Suzanna moved her visit up to the same day I had my concerns. She switched out the camera cord, troubleshoot the feeders on the phone with us, and changed the batteries on the feeder. She gave us peace of mind while we were across country and allowed us to enjoy the rest of our trip knowing our cats were taken care of. Thank you so much!
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!
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!
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Leander is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,387 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Leander. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
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. 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.
