“Manrong went above and beyond in caring for and feeding Moonbeam our cat while we were out of town for a few days. She was very thorough in cleaning out dishes, refilling fresh water, mealtimes, playtime, and did her utmost to open/close shades and maintain a great home environment every time she stopped by to take care of MB. She also gained MB’s trust each day. She was punctual, communicative, and asked questions/ shared updates frequently. She gave us so much of peace of mind! I would recommend her as one of the best petsitter’s we have come across!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life; I come from a dog family. I love animals of all kinds and they seem to like me too. I love taking my dogs for walks and playing in the backyard/around the house with them. I can walk, play, and bathe dogs. I worked at a dog daycare for two years. I’m reliable and hardworking and caring. I will treat your dog(s) as if they are my own. I’d do anything for my dogs, as I’d do for yours and anyone else’s. I work a full time 9-5 job. I can come by around 8am before work, and after 5:30pm for after work during the week days. I am available most weekends, but do sometimes work. Please message me with your inquiry and we can confirm dates! I am comfortable with whatever you’re comfortable with! I will respect your home and privacy, as the dog is my main priority. I am okay entering with a key if you’re not home, as long as you are okay with it. I always take pics of your pup for you!

“Gabby is one of the best cat sitters I've ever had. She was so sweet and loving to both my cats. My shy girl warmed right up to her and even let Gabby pet her belly. My cat has never done that with a sitter before! I was able to relax on my trip knowing Gabby would take great care of my babies! I will definitely be hiring her again again!! Thank you so much, Gabby!!”

About: I have a dog of my own and have fostered puppies and kittens throughout college. I enjoy going on walks and would love to take your dog out on a walk as well◡̈ I’m back in the area after graduating college at VT, so I’m looking to walk dogs anytime throughout the day. There really isn’t a restriction on the time or day because I am pretty free throughout the summer. My dog and I go on walks, but she mainly prefers to stay inside and roam around the backyard. She’s a toy poodle who enjoys treats and naps◡̈.

About: I have worked with puppies for three years in my free time, love to take them for a walk, I love animals and they love me. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available in the mornings and afternoons, my schedule is pretty flexible. I shared 16 years with my dog, and those years taught me everything about patience and care. I’m now ready to offer that same lifelong commitment to your pets.

About: I have one year of experience caring for dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and always send photo updates so owners feel at ease. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding schedules, and giving extra attention to shy or anxious pets. I am home all day! Your pet will never be left alone for long. I’m happy to handle morning and midday walks, regular feeding times, play sessions, and last-minute requests. Because I’m home all day, I can watch your pet closely and give plenty of attention. I keep a calm, clean, pet-safe space, follow your feeding and medication instructions, and send regular photo updates.

About: As a lifelong dog owner, I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I currently care for my own dog and know how important it is to have someone you can trust when you’re away. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll treat them with the same patience and care I’d want for my own family. I’m dependable, communicative, and happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. Whether your pet needs a walk while you’re at work, drop-in visits, overnight care, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to keeping their routine consistent. I pride myself on being responsive, punctual, and providing regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications (when needed), and any special instructions. My home has a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, and my friendly doodle, Kuzco, enjoys meeting other dogs when introductions are appropriate. If your pet is more comfortable on their own, I’m happy to accommodate that as well. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re part of my own family.

I look forward to meeting you and giving your pets the attentive, loving care they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities.

I strive to create a calm, positive environment where your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. During visits or house sitting, I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on your pet, and provide regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind. My goal is to treat your home with respect and care for your pets as if they were my own.

This was my kitten’s first time having Cynthia care for her and we are so glad we found her. She was so so sweet and very patient with our Violet, who always needs a bit of time to warm up to new people. Cynthia captured some lovely photos of Violet (and some funny ones, apologies for the hissing!) and sent the best updates. We will absolutely be having her back to watch our kitty. Thank you again, Cynthia!

Excellent Rover. My family needed a Rover VERY last minute to take care of our cat. Mallory was responsive, kind, courteous and easy to work with. We tend to like to do a meet and greet before hiring a Rover but didn’t have time this go round. Mallory put us at ease with how easy she was to work with!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Legato

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Legato is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $36 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 15,651 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Legato. 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 Legato. On Rover:

  • 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
