About: My name is Hoslan and I’ve been dog sitting/walking for almost 2 years. I have 4 of my own dogs and love them like they my own kids, when it comes to meet dogs they just love me, they’ll bark at first because they don’t know me but after showing them I’m friendly and give them love I’ll be your best dog sitter and everytime they see me theyll be excited! I work from home, and I just be on my computer in the mornings, but after I’m done I have so much time to walk dogs, play with them, take them out to potty or anything! I have a fenced in yard, I live close by a park, and I have 4 friendly pups that will play with your pup, here in my household we all love dogs so they’ll get treated like they one of ours

About: I’ve had dogs for years and honestly really miss having one around, so Rover feels like a great way to get some dog time without officially becoming a dog owner again just yet! I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, including senior dogs, and have dog-sitting experience. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, letting dogs out, giving them attention and companionship, and sticking to their normal routines. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions or quirks your dog may have. Do you have fish? I can feed them for you too! My availability is flexible and can vary from week to week, but I’ll always communicate clearly about what I’m able to take on. I work full time, but I primarily work remotely, which gives me some flexibility during the day for pet care. I’m also generally available on weekends. My availability can vary from week to week, so I’m happy to communicate ahead of time and make sure the timing works for both you and your pet. I’m unable to host pets in my home, so I provide care in the client’s home. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they’re comfortable, fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention while you’re away. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you leave for their care.

About: I’ve cared for animals since I was a kid. Dogs, cats, lizards, hamsters, chickens— you name it! I love animals and would love to meet yours. I am happy to help out whenever I can— I do seasonal work so I am in between jobs right now and my schedule is flexible. Just like with humans, I believe in the importance of animals getting enough mental stimulation and physical exercise to create happiness, healthiness, and reduce anxiety!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m a lifelong dog owner and an experienced equestrian, so I’m very comfortable being responsible for animals of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and needs, and I’m happy to follow whatever makes them feel most comfortable while you’re away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, feeding, keeping up with a specific schedule, or simply giving them plenty of attention and company, I treat every animal like they’re my own. My experience working professionally with horses has also made me extremely attentive to animal behavior and the little changes that can indicate when something isn’t quite right. I’m dependable, patient, active, and comfortable with everything from energetic pets who need plenty of exercise to animals who just want someone calm to hang out with. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable while they’re with me — and I’m always happy to send plenty of photos and updates along the way! I’m currently home with my mom in Leesburg while taking a break from competitive professional horse showing, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. After years of having my daily routine revolve around horses and animals, pet care fits very naturally into my life. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening walks and drop-ins, as well as longer visits, weekends, and overnight care when needed. I’m also happy to work around your pet’s established routine to keep things as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away. Safety, trust, and making each pet feel comfortable are always my top priorities. With years of professional experience caring for horses and animals, I’m very accustomed to following detailed routines, reading animal behavior, and noticing when something seems out of the ordinary. For dogs boarding with me, I want my home to feel like a comfortable home away from home. I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, exercise, and sleeping routines as closely as possible while giving them plenty of attention, affection, and activity. I’m also available to stay in a client’s home when that’s where their pet is most comfortable. I’m very respectful of someone else’s space and will keep your pet’s routine and home environment as consistent as possible while you’re away. For walks and drop-in visits, I follow all instructions closely and am careful with doors, gates, leashes, feeding, and any other specific needs. Whether your pet is staying with me or I’m coming to them, I’m happy to provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel confident that they’re safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I started doing walking and overnights when I was 7 with the help of my parents and my love for dogs has only grew since then! I now have been in the Veterinary medicine field for 5 years with many years of farm work before then. I’m very good with all types and temperaments of dogs due to my gentle and loving attitude towards animals. I am available 7 days a week 24 hours a day. I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!!! I am currently home full time so I have the availability to do walks, drop ins and sitting at any time. This schedule also allows me extra time to specialize the care and needs of your pet. With my years experience in veterinary medicine I am able to tailor environmental needs to each pet I have the joy of working with. Just let me know their quirks, care needs or special requests and I can make it happen!

Very obvious he loves dogs and takes this work seriously, which makes me less nervous to welcome someone new into our fold for the care of my big man 🐶. Booked for a walk and really appreciated the notes and special care of my dog and home during intimate weather. 10/10 ⭐️”

About: Hi, I’m Kiana! 🐶💛 I’m a dedicated pet lover who genuinely enjoys caring for dogs and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I’m happy to follow their individual routines, dietary needs, and any special quirks that make them unique. I’m a personal trainer and Pilates instructor with a flexible schedule, which allows me to check in on dogs throughout the day during breaks and spend quality time with them between my sessions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pup gets plenty of attention and care. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your furry family member with someone you trust. I’ll follow your instructions closely and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 My goal is to make your dog feel happy, safe, and right at home while you’re gone. I’d love to connect and learn more about your pup! 💛 I’m usually up early for the gym, so I’m comfortable with early-morning walks and care. I’m also available on weekends, when I enjoy taking long nature walks and would be happy to bring your dog along if they enjoy outdoor adventures. I live in a very spacious apartment with a balcony. I do not have any kids, so my environment is dog friendly! I am typically always home, so extra care and safety will be provided for your furry baby. I am now accepting only one dog at a time so that I may provide the best experience for your Furry Babby 🐾🐾🐾

Our emotionally needy GSP and barky Aussie became good friends with Anum. Even our very shy dog came out of her shell !”

About: I have spent majority of my life caring for a wide range of animals from dogs and cats to ducks, rodents, and reptiles. I have one beagle who loves playing with others and we would love some company for our walks and adventures. I am acclimated to cats and dogs of all ages, I am used to giving medications (including allergy injections) and pets with food sensitivities. If you have a fur baby that needs some exercise or company, my beagle and I would love to meet them for either a casual stroll through a neighborhood, a trail walk through the woods, or even for short visits to dog parks followed by soapy baths. Let me know what your pet needs are and I am happy to accommodate. On weekdays, I am available 3-7:30 most afternoons. If I am going to your home and your home happens to be near my work place, I may also occasionally be able to pop in for a short visit 9:45-10:30. At my home: Your dog has options. I have a puppy proofed kitchen that has access to a dog door with a fenced in yard. This space is separated from the rest of my home via a doggy gate and is a wonderful space where I leave my pup to play during the day while I am at work. This space has continual access to water, dog beds, toys, and the fenced in yard. Additionally, if there is a fur friend that is in need of a more private secluded space, I also have 2 medium dog crates with soft blankets and chewies. The crates will limit your pups interactions and protect them while I am away from the household for work. When I am home, the dogs will be with me throughout my entire house, they will be brought on walks, fun outdoor adventures, played with, fed, pet, they can sleep in the bed or on the floors, and they can be bathed if necessary. We can even take car rides to go out on fun hikes if you are interested in your dog having access to opportunities like that (they are our favorite.) They will continually have a beagle playmate happy to have companionship. Cats will have a secluded room to stay in, as they are often more sensitive to new spaces, and they will get plenty of snuggles and affection each day in their own private room. At your home: I will arrive in the afternoons with my beagle to play with your pups and to go on walking adventures. I can follow whatever particular protocols you have in place for your dogs, their food/med routines, etc. We will play together and spend time outside on adventures. I can take your pup with me in my car to go on hikes or we can keep the visit completely local. For cats, my dog will not come with me and I will enter the home to address whatever needs your cat may have, whether it be cleaning litter boxes or giving cans of wet food.

Most bookings cost between $14 and $32 per visit. 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 of October 2026, there are 10,422 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Leesburg. 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 .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
