I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Alexander was incredibly attentive and caring. My dog, Arthur, absolutely loved him. He made sure to follow all my instructions and sent me updates throughout the day. I was so relieved to know my furry friend was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be hiring Alexander again in the future.

Jennifer was so kind and professional. Our dog Stax, who can be anxious with new sitters, was immediately comfortable with her due to her calm demeanor. Jennifer kept us up to date during her stay and asked thoughtful questions about care in advance to ensure Stax was cared for as needed during her stay. We will definitely book with Jennifer again.

Kelly was absolutely incredible! She watched our two cats and energetic puppy for a whole week and always kept us up to date on how they were doing through pictures and detailed texts. We can definitely tell she made them feel extremely comfortable while their parents were away and gave them lots of love. If you need someone who is responsive, caring, communicative, and can make your pets feel comfortable while you’re away, Kelly is fantastic. She will go above and beyond for you and your pets, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thanks for everything Kelly, we will absolutely be booking with you again. Migo, Liam, and Maggie already miss you!

So happy with Kamila’s care of Gemma. This was our first time with her. She took the time to get to know Gemma and understand that she does have separation anxiety. Sent me pictures and videos that allowed me to see how Gemma was behaving. Gemma obviously loved her from the start and was sad to see her go. Will definitely book again!

Rosemary was a legit godsend. She was amazing and I'm so happy I found her. My situation was very unique and she took it in stride. But the main thing was she helped my dogs feel comfortable and loved in a brand new house. She sent so many photos which helped ease my mind. Then she left my house super clean. I couldn't even tell she had been there. I will hire her again and recommend her to all my fellow dog people.

Faith was absolutely AMAZING! We feel so lucky to have found her. She was incredibly attentive to our boys. They can be rambunctious and get themselves into some trouble and Faith would immediately let me know what happened (like one of them stealing a pumpkin and destroying it all over the couch 😅). We will definitely be having Faith come back to take care of our boys.

5/5 Stars – The absolute best pet sitter you could ever find! If you are looking for someone who will love and care for your pets like their own, look no further than Ashley. We’ve used plenty of dog sitters over the years, and Ashley is hands down the best we’ve ever had. A few things that made her stand out: Incredible Communication: She kept us updated throughout the day, and waking up every morning to cute photos of our pups gave us complete peace of mind. Treated Our Pups Like Royalty: The dogs were so happy, loved, and well cared for. Honestly, when we came home, I’m pretty sure they were glad to see us but a little disappointed it wasn't Ashley walking back through the door! Treated Our Home Like Her Own: She brought in all our mail and packages, washed her sheets, and did all the dishes. Coming back to a completely spotless house was such an amazing feeling after traveling. We will never look for another dog sitter unless she happens to be unavailable. We cannot recommend Ashley enough!

FAQs for House Sitting - Legato

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Legato on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 9,804 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Legato. 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 Legato 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 Legato 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 Legato 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 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.

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

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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.
