About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. Four years ago I gained the privilege of having a friend of my own named Draco! He’s a long haired tabby cat and he’s a sassy little guy who loves chin scratches and window watching. I’ve taken care of friends and families pets for years and I’m ready to extend that care thorough this service. Furry friends here I come! 🐾 I’m currently working full time as a barista and I am available any time past 12pm. All days of the week are open for me. House sitting will be discussed one on one basis and we will discuss the best options for your furry family members. I keep my kitty indoors and he is fully up to date on all shots and medications! He plays well with other animals and is pretty desensitized since I am often watching animals for friends or family. The neighborhood I live in is very safe and is a great place for walking dogs and getting some outside time.

About: I’ve had pets most of the time myself. At one point I was the proud owner of two dogs and two cats. Three pets traveled internationally with us when we moved ( can’t leave fam behind). I could check on pets before going to work; during lunch hour, or after work and throughout the evenings. During the weekends as well! I love walking the doggies! I have a fenced in yard. I have reliable transportation to and from your home as well. I have a dog at home who loves to play.

Michelle was extremely friendly and truly a professional. She met with us ahead of time to discuss specific instructions for our pet. We greatly appreciate her following all of those instructions to meet our pet's individualized needs. She sent us frequent updates regarding our pet's well-being, which we greatly appreciated. She did a great job keeping our pet active and making him feel loved while we were away. Strongly recommend her and would definitely book her again.

Where do I start? The 4Ds (Dottie, Donnie, Dollie, Dorrie – Miniature Schnauzers) are already asking, “When is Aunt Melanie coming back?” From the first moment of meeting Melanie, I knew it couldn’t be a better fit. Two of my “kids” are rescues and need extra care, (attention in a different way) while the other two, demand lots of attention. She handled them perfectly. Add my cat Nicky to the mix, (also a bit of an enigma) and it’s a full house. Feeding time is a production, but she didn’t miss a beat and cleaned up everything. I highly recommend Melanie and know we will be using her again. She was my first pet sitter ever, and the experience was 100% positive…we had freedom, and the 4Ds and Nicky were treated to a day with Melanie.

We loooooove Caroline! We had to leave our doggo behind for a family vacation and he is still relatively new to us. We love him and wanted only the best. Caroline was attentive, kept us updated, sent pictures, and cuddled with Whiskey during the 4th of July. We are very grateful to have her! Definitely recommend her!

Tiffani was super great when she housesitted/dogsitted for my two handful pitbulls. I'd trust her with housesitting again. Tiffani even made sure my other pets she wasn't responsible for were given fresh water, food, etc.

Clair has been an amazing sitter for our three kiddos. She is always on time, communicative, and incredibly reliable. We have booked her multiple times now, both for quick drop-in visits and for a full weekend stay. Each time, I felt completely at ease knowing our kiddos were in such good hands. It made it so much easier to relax and enjoy my trip. Clair didn’t just take great care of the kiddos, she was also respectful of our home and even left it in better condition than she found it. That kind of thoughtfulness and attention to detail really stood out. I highly recommend Clair. She is trustworthy, caring, respectful, and dependable. We feel lucky to have found her and will continue to book with her whenever we can.

FAQs for House Sitting - Leland Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Leland Grove is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $76 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 89 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Leland Grove. 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 Grove 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 Grove 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 Grove 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 , 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 .

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 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.

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

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.
