“Anthony was FANTASTIC! First of all, he was available on short notice. Then he had our Yorkie basically eating out of the palm of his hand and she never does that with anyone but us! He sent pictures to me while he was there, which was very reassuring. I can’t say enough good about him! Thank you, Anthony!”

“Misty did a great job watching our two golden retrievers in our home. The boys were calm within seconds of meeting her, showing their immediate trust. We had an enjoyable evening out knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely be using her services again and we highly recommend her.”

“Can’t thank Sandy enough for taking such good care of my pups while I was gone. I get really nervous about new people watching them but after I saw Sandy interact with them I could go on my trip without constantly worrying & that means so much! Definitely booking again :)”

About: Caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had cats in my family since birth and dogs since I was about five, and I was taught early on that loving animals means taking responsibility for their care. Over the past 10 years of living on my own, I’ve cared for my own dogs, a cat, rats, and reptiles. They’ve all had different personalities and needs, and I love getting to know what makes each animal feel comfortable and secure. The handsome pup in my profile photo is my dog, King! I have a particular soft spot for bully breeds and their big personalities, but my love for animals doesn’t stop at any breed or species. I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s routine, respect their quirks, and give them patient, attentive care while you’re away. I plan pet care around my work schedule, accepting bookings when I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. My dog, King, is staying with family in New Jersey while I work toward getting my own place in Florida. Caring for your pets lets me do something I love while working toward bringing my boy home! Animals have always seemed comfortable approaching me—I joke that I have a little Disney princess energy! But I know trust happens on their terms. I pay close attention to body language and adapt to each pet’s personality, energy, and comfort level. With nervous pets, I’m patient, give them space, and never rush affection or interaction. In your home, I’ll follow your care instructions and familiar routines, respect your space, and keep you updated. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, understood, and cared for while you’re away.

“Teri is great! This is the second time we’ve used her and both have been exceptional. She stayed for 8 days this time and just goes above and beyond to ensure we come home happy. Emerson really enjoys her visits, and that is unusual. He doesn’t let many people play with him, but Teri has made a friend. We have no concerns having Teri stay for long sits. We really feeel blessed to have her. Jim and Cindy”

She had to give one of our pups a daily allergy pill and she understood exactly what she had to do right away without any qualms. She sent us pictures of contented pets through out her visit. We will definitely have her back for future vacations!”

About: I’ve been around pets ever since I was a baby. When my mom would take me to visit my grandparents who we now live with, their chihuahua Bandit would climb into my basket while I was asleep & sleep with me. When I was 4 I got my first ever puppy Jacks! Since then I’ve had 6 dogs, 2 guinea pigs, & more! This doesn’t include pets my aunts & dad’s friends have had/have that I’ve given pets & played with during family gatherings. I absolutely adore cats!! Whether they’re an adorable kitten or a sweet elder I love them so much! While I don’t have experience with cats outside of petting some outdoor cats I’ve always wanted a kitten/cat! When I move out I’ll for sure be getting one or two. I’d love the chance to take care of any cats, even if it means cleaning their litter box. With our most recent dog, Oliver, I used to train him & play with him multiple times a day until my grandmother took over ownership of him. I don’t smoke or do anything of the like, I’m not a party girl. I much prefer a night in either studying or playing video games. I’m unemployed without a drivers license so I’m available throughout the week. The exception being my mom is my ride. She gets off of work at 5pm Monday-Friday so preferably a pet sit will start & end on the weekends. Unless you’re good with me arriving or leaving sometime after 5pm. I’ve pet sat multiple times over the years, especially since I moved in with my grandparents at 8 with my mom & they’ve had chihuahua’s since I was a baby! Currently we have 3 chihuahua’s who I’ve looked over plenty of times & even bathed. Recently in February my grandmother was hospitalized for 2 weeks & as my mom & grandfather worked I was in charge of feeding the dogs breakfast & dinner, letting them out every 2-3 hours, playing with them, & cleaning up any accidents.

About: I was raised with dogs & cats my entire life, and even helped train a few. I have experience in raising puppies and younger pets, but wouldn't prefer to take care of any too little. Even though I don't currently own any, I have a lot of experience from previous pets and taking care of other people's dogs through a side-gigs and friends! I would love to meet your animals and take care of them. Their happiness and well-being means the most. I currently attend college part-time and work full-time, but I work with total flexibility, so I have tons of free time. I'm free any weekday minus Monday and Tuesday (varies week by week), and free almost every weekend. I have a ton of time to care for your pets! :) Regardless of where I'll be taking care of your pet(s), I can ensure that nothing will stay messy! Whether the pet needs to take any medication, needs any variations in feeding times, needs to be let out/walked at a certain time, etc, I can certainly guarantee that nothing will be left behind. You can always feel free to leave specific instructions regarding the house or place at any given time!

About: I began watching dogs in my neighborhood about two years ago and have LOVED it since. I do all breeds and sizes! I am capable of watching multiple dogs at once if needed! Despite me working part-time in Mount Dora and in Clermont, neighbors and I have always found a way to work around it, whether I come right before/right after a shift or just simply depending on their dog’s own capabilities. In Mount Dora, I am typically only gone for about a maximum of 5-6 hours, while Clermont may be a little over 8. When watching inside the homes of my clients, I ensure to keep attentive focus on the dog(s) at all times. I ALWAYS use a leash when letting them out unless it is already a fenced in area. On walks, I use caution and stay alert with other possible dogs walking. I try to keep distance if I know a dog is reactive by either moving to the other side of the street or simply turning and walking the other direction.

“She did an amazing job watching our dogs and cat! She was very kind, caring, and thorough, and our animals took to her right away. She met with us beforehand to go over everything, which made me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care. I really appreciated how detailed she was with her updates, especially letting me know when the animals had been fed and keeping me informed of anything that came up. There really weren’t any issues, but on the occasions when something did come up, I appreciated that she communicated it with me rather than leaving me wondering. She was absolutely lovely to work with, and I could tell she genuinely cared about our pets. I would definitely hire her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dependable to care for their animals!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Leesburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Leesburg is $31 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $44 per night. 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 1,184 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Leesburg. 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 Leesburg 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 Leesburg 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 Leesburg 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 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leesburg. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters 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.
