“Amelia stayed in our home and looked after our geriatric small dog recently. (This was our first experience with Rover). On a previous trip when she’d been boarded, our dog hadn’t eaten and had lost several lbs, so we needed help. Amelia was perfect! My dog was able to stay home with no change to her routine. I received pics, texts and had an stress-less trip thanks to Amelia!”
“Erin was amazing! We were out of state for a wedding the weekend of July 4th and Erin took great care of our two dogs, dealing with 2 nights of fireworks and very scared pups. She kept us updated on how they were doing and sent us pics. We appreciate her ensuring the safety and well being of our dogs and managing their anxiety during all the noise. Thank you Erin!”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life, they just have the sweetest souls. I believe the best way to love them is to meet their needs. Whether that’s through affection, play, walks, fetch, training, or enrichment, I’d love to help you meet their needs in whatever season you’re in. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, and everything in between! Whether they’re super friendly, anxious, timid, stubborn, a bit wild, or just goofy, I pride myself on my ability to be patient and am more than happy to meet your pup where they’re at. I’m currently available for walks and drop in visits between 8am to 5pm Weekdays and on some Saturdays. If you need long term walking or just sporadic, I can do both! I am currently unable to provide in-home services due to restrictions from my landlord, but I’m available for drop in visits and dog-sitting your pup in their domain!
“Ruth, Thank you so much for always taking great care of our pups, and our birds and flowers! It makes it so easy to enjoy our time away and we really appreciate you! Have a blessed week! Carol”
“Abby is excellent! She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs, 2 cats and home durning an overnight stay. Our high energy, anxious and often particular doodle took to her immediately as did the rest of our menagerie. Abby communicated throughout her stay and sent many pictures and videos. We returned to a spotless home and very happy animals. Could not recommend Abby more and hope to have her house sit for us again in the future!”
“Katie was attentive and handled everything Keto had to throw at her, we had her watch keto at our wedding and roam about during cocktail hour with Keto in a little suit, I heard he was adorable, would definitely book her again for events or just to watch our little guy, thanks for coming🙂”
“Emily was great! My cat immediately loved her, which is super rare. She has always been quick to communicate and flexible. She will definitely be my go to, and I know my pets can’t wait to have her back again soon!”
“She took great care of our pups, house was clean, and we got plenty of update pictures. She even noticed some of the flowers were blooming and sent updates pictures on those! Definitely plan to use her again.”
About: I have been around family pets from the age of 5 years old. At 17, I raised my own dog from a puppy as well as participated in obedience training up to the advanced level. I have worked with dogs of various breeds and sizes through house sitting and volunteering, and I have experience with dogs of all ages from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I have also had pet cats and enjoy caring for them and their needs. PLEASE NOTE: New clients must book a minimum of 5 nights for the first stay. My job allows me to work fully remote, meaning that my place of work allows me to be flexible for extended stays as well as have pauses throughout each day for the ideal at-home pet care schedule. I strive to maintain a routine as close to each pet's home life as possible. I set clear and simple boundaries for clients' pets that reflect those of their owner and allow them to feel at home with me as their sitter.
About: I have been in the industry for 6 years, on and off. I have experience working in professional doggy daycares and limited experience working in the medical veterinary field. I am currently enrolled in college courses to eventually receive my certification to be a Registered Vet Technician! I have references to provide for previous housesitting/petsitting experiences. I currently have in person classes Monday-Thursday. Wednesdays I am on campus from 9am-3pm. Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays I have ONE 75 minute class. I do not have animals stay at my residence but I enjoy staying with animals at their home. I keep the homes clean and never have violated any privacy concerns. I am vigilant and anal about home care and pet safety.
About: For the past four years, I’ve been managing life with Piper, my anxious Chihuahua mix, and Tux, my blind cat who navigates like he has sonar. They’ve taught me how to keep pets calm, confident, and on a solid routine no matter what challenges they have. I’m a college student and veteran, so my schedule is pretty flexible when I’m not in class. I’m usually available for walks, drop‑ins, or sitting throughout the week, and I plan my study time around pet care. I keep a steady routine with my own pets, and it’s easy for me to fit in extra visits or longer stays when needed. I focus on creating a calm, safe space for every pet. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and pay attention to small behavior changes. In a client’s home, I use gentle handling, clear communication, and maintain a predictable environment so pets feel secure and supported.
About: 🐾 Experienced, Loving Care for Dogs of Every Kind 🧡 For the past 10 years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities—from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra patience and special care. 🐶 I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and am also experienced with beginning training and reinforcing good habits. Most importantly, I take a welcoming, trustworthy, and patient approach so every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Whether your pup needs exercise, playtime, companionship, basic training, or a little extra TLC, I’m here to treat them like family while you’re away. 🧡🐕 🏡 Flexible, Dedicated Care for Your Fur Babies 🐾🧡 I work from home with a very flexible schedule, which allows me the freedom to travel and work from anywhere. That flexibility means I can give your pets the time, attention, and companionship they deserve not just a quick visit, but genuine care throughout the day. 🐶🐱 I’m also available for house sitting and extended pet-sitting stays, making me a great fit for longer trips, vacations, or times when your pets simply do best with someone around. My goal is to make your time away easier and give you peace of mind knowing your fur babies and your home are in caring, trustworthy hands. 🧡🐾 🐾 Active Adventures or Cozy Companionship—Whatever Your Pet Needs 🧡 I’m an active pet sitter who loves getting outside for walks, exploring, and little adventures that keep your pets happy, excited, and engaged. Whether your pup loves a long walk, a game of fetch, or simply discovering new smells along the way, I’m always happy to keep them moving and having fun! 🐶🌿 At the same time, I understand that not every pet is looking for an adventure. Some animals thrive in a calm, quiet environment where they can relax and feel secure. I’m happy to slow things down and give them all the patience, comfort, and one-on-one attention they need. 🐱🏡 Every pet is different, and I love meeting them where they are—whether that means adventure, playtime, cuddles, or simply being a calm and caring presence. 🧡
“We reached out to Phoebe to watch our fur babies and our home while we were out of town. Our biggest priority was keeping the dogs in their normal routine and comfortable in their own environment, and Phoebe absolutely delivered on that. From the initial contact through the end of her stay, she was responsive, communicative, and completely trustworthy. We felt confident our dogs and home were in great hands the entire time.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Leland
Man, i dont know where to begin with how great Christy was. Right off the bat, we unfortunately had some difficulties with her guest code not working to enter our home. We were on a flight and didnt realize she was having trouble, so she patiently waited for over half an hour for us to respond to let her in. Already going above and beyond what some other sitters might do. We also chose to have her stay in our home, which was a first for us. We were a but nervous about allowing someone we had just met into our home, but Christy immediately put us at ease with her check ins and photos of our pup while she stayed. She even brought our garbage can back from the curb, which was again, so above and beyond what we asked of her. She was a pleasure to meet right from the get go, she gave us several morning, play time, and bedtime photos of our pup, she left our home in immaculate shape, and showed immense patience when we had our trouble getting her code to work. I seriously can NOT recommend Christy enough, and will absolutely be hiring her again for our future needs. Thanks so much, Christy!
Katie and Jay were fantastic with my pup. He absolutely loved them! They were very understanding of his anxiety with new people, and were able to win him over immediately. I was anxious too about leaving him for the night, but all my worries went away at the “meet and greet.” He liked hem right away & was sad when they left. Katie sent us numerous updates and pictures to put our minds at ease. When we got home they had taken the garbage out, ran the dishwasher and left some Shepherds Pie for us to enjoy. We will ABSOLUTELY have them sit for our pup again. I highly recommend them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Leland on Rover is $77.7 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 782 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Leland. 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 Leland 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 Leland 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 Leland 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.
