“She was very communicative and gave Clio lots of attention and care. I received regular updates and photos, which made me feel at ease while I was away. Clio was happy and relaxed when I got back. I would definitely have her watch Clio again.”

About: 🐾 Halloween bookings are still available! 🐾 We’ve been hugging dogs since we were kids, and we’d love to hug yours! Penny, Ciel, and our family enjoy hosting furry friends - we take care of them and our pups play hard with them! Please note: *We cannot currently accept bookings for unneutered/intact male pups *We host a large, rambunctious group of pups throughout the week - small pups and those who prefer quiet, calm environments may not have an enjoyable experience here, and we will happily recommend sitters who may be a better fit for your family Hosting pups is our full-time job - your pups become part of our family while they’re here! We spend our days with our guests, playing and chatting with them, and can attend to everyone’s needs regularly throughout the day. Our 24/7 dedication to giving your pups the best experience while away from your home makes us a great choice for day care and socialization opportunities! We accept bookings between 7am and 7pm; we will consider bookings outside these hours on a case by case basis, potentially for an additional cost. Our availability for picking up and dropping off is limited but we aim to be as flexible as possible. Reach out with your needs and we’ll work out an arrangement that works best for all of us! Our entire yard is fenced in - there’s room to run full speed! We can adjust feeding schedules as needed to accommodate your dog’s diet. In good weather, pups are free to go inside and outside at their leisure. We don’t require pups to use crates while we’re gone or overnight, but if you prefer your pup be crated at any time, we’re happy to do that and have multiple available. Male pups will wear a belly band for the first 24 hours of their stay, at minimum - this soft, absorbent band fits around their belly and attaches with Velcro on their back. Belly bands reduce marking behavior, especially in unneutered males. You may bring your own, but we can supply them, free of charge. Using belly bands keeps our home calmer, cleaner, and fresher by eliminating marking behavior and reduces anxiety for future pups by giving them less reason to want to mark over the scent of previous pups. We have indoor and outdoor security cameras in many locations that can be helpful to review if any safety situations arise. The safety of all of our pups is very important to us! (They’re also great for catching fun footage!)

About: I’ve always grown up around pets whether they were my families, my own, and all the family friends. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Not saying I’m a professional trainer but I have taught my cat a trick or two:) if you have any specific questions about the care I have done I would love to answer EVERYTHING:) I work as a coach and recruiter so in-between office hours and practices I go home and make sure I give my cat all the love’ns and clean up his litter-box and take him on occasional walk on his harness. Make sure their water is fresh, make sure their feeding schedule is up to date, no messes in the house, hang out with cuddles and enrichment time, and make sure they feel loved:)

About: As a dog owner, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and attentive caring for your pet. My own dog can be anxious, so I have experience recognizing canine body language, respecting a dog’s boundaries, and helping nervous dogs feel safe without forcing interaction. As a massage therapist, I am patient, calm, observant, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I treat every dog as an individual and will provide reliable walks, plenty of attention, and updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I am flexible and open to different schedules. Shoot me a message to see what we can arrange for you and your family to accommodate you appropriately. I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and the pet’s usual routine. With the owner’s permission, I am also happy to take dogs to parks or on other outings suited to their personality and activity level. I prioritize safety by keeping doors secure, using leashes as directed, and respecting each animal’s boundaries. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular photos and updates so owners know their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old! Currently I have a 85 lb lab/pit mix, and a 65 lb mut! I love to play with your dogs by playing with their toys with them, talking them on long walks, giving all the cuddles the want, loading them up with love and pets, and staying on their routine like they would if you were there! I’m a stay at home mom so my schedule is flexible! Willing to work with all routines and schedules. Also willing to bring them to the dog park! Your fur babies are in great hands with me! I almost always have open availability, just let me know what you need! Available as early as 8 am and as late as you need for the rest of the day. I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies of my own to keep them company. I also don’t mind animals being in my vehicle so I can take your fur baby to the dog park. I also love exercise so long walks are perfectly fine with me. Since my schedule is open I can keep up with your fur babies routine.

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.

About: I’ve been responsible for pet care in my household for nearly 30 years. Cats, dogs, rabbits, birds—all the fur babies! I’m happy to be a temporary best friend with your furry loved ones while you’re away, from St Bernards to tabbies and everything in between, for an hour or a week—I’ve got it covered :) I work on a contracted schedule and can build my regular day around your pet needs, whether for a few hours or a few weeks. I enjoy daily walks and have tons of time and patience to bring your furry friend with me for some exercise. Your pets are safe in your home with me! I ensure that I know the ins and outs of the space before I join your furry friend alone. I believe in maintaining the routines and boundaries you have in place so that your pet feels as comfortable and relaxed in their own space.

My husband and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Mary Ann! We recently moved to Springfield, and until now, we’ve only ever trusted family to care for our sweet Bunny, so finding someone we felt comfortable leaving him with was incredibly important to us. Mary Ann exceeded every expectation! She made sure Bunny felt safe, comfortable, and loved in his own home while we were away. She sent us pictures during every visit and was always incredibly responsive, never taking more than five minutes to answer whenever we reached out. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine care gave us such peace of mind and made our trip so much more enjoyable knowing Bunny was in such wonderful hands. We are beyond grateful to have found her. I honestly can’t think of leaving Bunny under the care of anyone else but her. She’s officially a part of our family. We highly recommend her!

Jossalyn took such great care of our kitties, and communicated very well with us throughout our trip. She didn’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, and was very sweet and gentle with our cats. She even convinced our one skittish cat who normally never comes out for cat sitters to come out and eat some tube treat from her! She also sent cute pics of them for each visit. :) I would definitely book with her again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Leland Grove

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .

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.
