About: I’m obsessed with fur babies! Let me watch yours so I can be happy 24/7. Former puppy owner do I know how crazy that it. Very experienced as I’ve always loved with animals. Very open availability because my day job allows me to choose my own schedule. And I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate to your needs. Right now I can only do house/pet sitting at your place because I do have roommates. I’m not entirely confident he have someone else’s pets around them for reliability issues.

About: Your pets or home will be safe with me! I have put in over 100 volunteer hours at my local animal shelter out of the love of my heart. I have been pampering and caring for animals since I was 12 years old. I have my own vehicle so, I am always available to come to your home to care for your pets! In the past I have been a baby sitter, pet sitter, and housekeeper, so I know how to pamper. I also have experience with reptiles and small animals. Any and all animals are welcome! I am available at all times, every day of the week. I am also open to long-term or short-term set schedules. Last minute bookings are always welcome as well! I am very familiar with the Indianapolis and surrounding areas. I currently reside in Kokomo, but am easily able to travel to the surrounding areas. Unfortunately, I do not offer home & boarding, but drops-ins, walks, and housesitting are all very convenient & just as easy!

About: Hi! My name is Hannah Joy, I go by Joy and I grew up on a farm and house sat for Neighbor's and their farms growing up! I have now been house and pet sitting through various apps for 2 years all around the world! I structure my daily routine around the pets I’m caring for. I work remotely on not set schedule and I believe keeping your pets routines the same will help relieve any anxiety or stress while their parents are away. I’m home body so besides an occasional outing I am home throughout the day and prioritize feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and keeping pets company so they feel comfortable and safe. I’m flexible with my schedule, which allows me to adapt to each pet’s specific routine — whether that means early mornings, multiple walks, or extra time for attention and care. I also make sure pets are never left alone for long periods and maintain a calm, consistent environment. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and respectful environment in every person’s home that allow me to have that opportunity. I follow all instructions exactly as given, including feeding routines, medication schedules, and house rules, to ensure pets stay comfortable and stress-free in their familiar space. I always keep a close eye on pets to ensure their safety, whether indoors or on walks, and I avoid any situations that could put them at risk. I also maintain a clean and tidy home while I’m there and treat every space with the same respect I would my own. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos so owners feel reassured while they’re away. I also do not smoke/vape and am pescatarian.

Des was awesome! Copper the Dog and Princess Leia loved her! She was extremely friendly and kept the lines of communication open. During the stay she provided pictures and videos of the dogs. She stayed at my home and left it clean when she left. There were a couple of changes and challenges (not her fault at all) during the stay, but she rolled with the punches and was very flexible. Definitely utilize her professional services. She even left a friendly note after she left. 😃

About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!

I’m free 24/7 except for tuesday’s and thursday’s which i’m free after 2pm! At home I have a fence, a nice vest and leash for my very muscular dog, and I have trained him to where he’s capable of being off leash and at my side while walking!

About: I’ve had 14 years of friends, family and neighbors trusting me for walking, feeding, giving baths, playing, gaining trust, building relationships with their furry family members and anything that comes with taking care of dogs 🥰 I’m currently trying to get a full time schedule on Rover. I’ve always wanted to work a job I absolutely love doing, what’s better than taking care of and playing with dogs all day? Nothing! Due to me not working, I have open availability for whenever your fur babies need to be taken care of! I can take care of your pets in any way that makes you comfortable! There will be a lot of playing and cuddles and love!

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — I grew up around dogs, cats, and pretty much every pet in the neighborhood, so being around them just feels like home. I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was young, and it kind of grew from there through word of mouth, which honestly means the world to me. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy pup or just sitting quietly with a pet who needs some company. Every animal has their own personality, and getting to know that is honestly my favorite part of the job. My schedule is super flexible — honestly, anytime works for me. I'm self-employed, so I have the freedom to be available whenever your pet needs me, whether that's early mornings, evenings, weekends, or last-minute bookings. No 9-to-5 restrictions here! Your pet will never feel like they're being squeezed into a busy schedule — they'll always have my full attention. When I'm in your home, I treat it like my own — with respect, care, and a lot of love for your pet. I follow whatever routine your pet is used to because consistency matters, especially when you're away. I'm not just popping in to check a box — I'm fully present, keeping things comfortable and familiar so your pet barely notices you're gone. Your home and your fur baby are in good hands.

About: My family has had dogs my whole life. Currently I have a niece (goldendoodle) and nephew (labradoodle), but I miss my son (staffordshire) every day. I am active at my local humane society and I'm ready to care for your furry family member as well. I currently have a part-time job, so my availability is very flexible and can be easily adjusted to accommodate pet care. I look forward to adding your dog to my schedule! I live very close to my local park, so it is a frequent stop when I care for dogs. Additionally, I prioritize play and indoor enrichment if weather isn't conducive to a safe walk.

About: Hi, I’m Elizabeth, and I’m a dedicated dog lover with over seven years of experience in pet sitting and dog walking! Growing up with dogs, I’ve always had a deep love and understanding of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for your furry family members while you’re away. I know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. As a dog parent myself, I understand the value of personalized, attentive care—giving your pup the love, exercise, and attention they deserve rather than a kennel stay. I work flexible hours doing marketing/promotional jobs a few days a week, but I am home most of the time, so your pup will have plenty of companionship and care. I am available mornings and evenings daily and around lunch time some days. Letting me know your pets normal routine will help me make sure I am available during those times. I have a friendly older English bulldog who loves playing with new dog friends. He doesn’t always come with me and doesn’t have to if I have any in home stays where the animals don’t like other dogs in the home.

About: I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds since I was younger. Family, and friends have relied on me to help house sit, walk, play dates, and take their animals to day care. I’m currently in school online, but I am available to spend time walking the animals during the week and on the weekend. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I do not have a fenced in yard, living on a huge property that they are allowed to run, but if your dog is an inside animal I am willing to bring him/her to my home. I have two friendly playful dogs of my own, they are a Golden Doodle, and a German Shorthaired Pointer. I am also willing to spend time at your home playing and walking your animals as well.

FAQs for House Sitting - Leisure

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 517 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Leisure. 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 Leisure 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 Leisure 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 Leisure 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 Leisure. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% 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.
