“Anthony is a gem. He kept our dogs happy and well exercised and loved on them just like us! He sent me pictures throughout his entire stay and we could tell how happy our dogs were!! Our home was clean as can be when we arrived back home. Definitely recommend him!!”
“Misty was great with my golden retriever, understanding with my touch bases, and left incredibly detailed notes for the night she watched him in my home. She was clean and respectful, and she adored my puppy with lots of love. Would recommend her for anyone considering her services, and I’m looking forward to booking another a trip with her looking over my fur baby.”
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.
“David did an excellent job caring for our two 5 month old pups! They are extremely energetic and he handled with ease. Our home was exactly the same way as we left it. David is very courteous, asked questions to make sure he was clear on the care of our pups. The best part was the pups love him. Would definitely recommend him and will use him again.”
About: I’ve been raised around dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for them in every stage — from playful puppies to seniors who need a little extra patience and attention. Having supported my own dogs through their later years, I understand how important gentle, attentive care is. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 5:30 AM to 2:30 PM, which means I’m available for early morning visits before work and have my full afternoons and evenings open for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. Because I’m off mid-afternoon, your pet won’t be waiting all day for attention. I’m able to give them consistent, reliable care and quality time — whether that’s a calm check-in, an energetic walk, or simply extra cuddles to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I will always care for your pet the way you feel most comfortable, especially in your own home. I carefully follow any instructions you leave — from feeding routines and medications to favorite toys and bedtime habits — because I know how important consistency is for their comfort and your peace of mind. If they stay in my home, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, loving environment alongside my two pets. They’ll have access to a fully fenced backyard where they can safely explore and enjoy fresh air. I’m able to separate from my cat if needed to ensure everyone feels secure and comfortable. While I’m not able to separate from my dog, he is well-socialized and used to being around other animals. My goal is always to create a safe, warm space where your pet feels cared for, understood, and at home.
“Teri did a meet and greet with us prior to the booking. On the day of the appointment she came early so we were very comfortable when we left. Keira remembered her and was excited to see her. Teri brought her a toy and Keira loves it! We will use this sitter again.”
About: My many years of owning pets and working at a veterinarian facility has given me many different experiences with pets. My love for pets would be shown in the love and care I would provide for each any every pet I take care of. I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 guinea pig, and 1 bearded dragon, with each one getting equal love and care. I would provide your pet with the same love and care that I give my own pets. If you choose me as your sitter or walker, know that I have the years of experience and understanding of different pets and know that each pet has its own personality. I look forward to getting to know each of your pets. I am currently doing online classes right now to better my self. I have more time then I use to, to help others that may not have as much time as they would like to help with their pets. I am unable to watch any pets at my personal home because of one of my dogs doesn’t like other pets. But I would take care of someone else’s home like it was my own with my own animals. If a fence is available we would play outside. If not we would walk around the neighborhood.
“Angela has been caring for our cocker spaniel for about a month now, and she has just been wonderful to work with. We recently moved to FL, and before that, our dog only had one caretaker for his entire life (he's 12), so we really wanted to take the time with someone new for both drop in visits and overnights/housesitting, and she has really gained his trust - and ours!! He seems very happy in the photos she sends. So happy we found her!”
“Leslie is an amazing pet sitter! She watched our fur babies in our house and took great care of everything! She did not hesitate to ask any questions and made me feel at ease about watching our babies. 100% will book with her again!”
“Jennifer was an instant hit with Ralph, GunnyRose, Bev and I when she came for the meet and greet! She was calm, friendly and professional and we became comfortable with Jennifer very quickly. She was with our furry kids for 8 nights and did an amazing job with them and our house! We so much appreciate how much above and beyond she went for them and for us! VERY highly recommended and we are so happy we found her!”
About: Hi, my name is Nahiara and i’m a student here for a part-time job to cover my collage expenses. I’ve worked with friends and family pets (including chickens and ferrets) I have two dogs Max and Charlee they are both trained and vaccinated. I’m a reliable caretaker!💖 I currently study so I’m available mostly weekends Friday through Sunday anytime. But we can always work around the schedule if needed during weekdays . I’m lucky enough to have a big neighborhood and backyard to provide just enough space to walk around your pups and provide play with treats and toy of your choice!
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.
“Lia was great- Super friendly, great communication, and punctual. I think she took good care of Apollo and was engaging and playful. Will definitely contact again for future needs!”
About: I'm an attentive and experienced sitter with specialized skills in training puppies and caring for seniors. My dedication to personalized care sets me apart thanks Pet care is integrated into my daily routine with regular walks, playtime, feeding, and grooming sessions. Weekly, I prioritize vet visits, training, and socialization for pets. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets, including regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and attention. In clients' homes, I follow their specific care instructions diligently.
“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!”

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.

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.
