“Julia was great. My dogs were instantly comfortable with her, which was a great sign to me and made me feel much more relaxed on vacation. She sent pictures daily to show their mood and they were doing well. She was reliable and communicated really well. I would book her again and recommend to friends.”
About: I’ve had dogs as long as I can remember. They are a great joy to my life, but I understand the responsibility that comes with them. I’ve owned all different kinds of dogs, big and small, young and old. So, I also understand the special attention and care that some dogs need. With me your dogs will receive the proper care they need from walks and playtime to comfort to safety. You can rest assured that your dog will be happy and safe with me! I’m currently a full time college student, but other than during class time (Monday-Thursday) I am free to pet-sit. I only have a couple classes each day, so the longest your pet will be alone is a few hours at a time. I will provide a great environment for your pet by make sure he/she gets proper nutrition, playtime, walks, and cuddles! I can make sure your pet receives proper care with specific feeding instructions and exercise/playtime regimens.
About: I have taken care of dogs around my neighborhood and my own dogs from a very young age in all kinds of breeds and ages. I am currently an online college student working to get side income. I am able to work around lots of times to fit your needs! I will make sure to be attentive to any age dog in your home and provide wonderful enrichment and play time to get the energy out!
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! From the moment we left, we knew our pets were in great hands. They were loved, well-cared-for, and clearly spoiled with attention while we were away. We got updates, peace of mind, and came home to happy, relaxed pets — which says everything! Reliable, kind, and truly wonderful with animals. We would absolutely trust them again and highly recommend to anyone looking for someone to treat their pets like family. Thank you for taking such great care of our furry crew!”
“Bree is so much more than a dog sitter. Had big storms come through that knocked tree limbs all over the place, including my roof. Bree took a ton of pics and shared with me so I could accurately speak with my insurance. Aside from that, my pups were very well taken care of. Bree kept me updated on when she was leaving, how the dogs were doing, play time, and sent a TON of pictures throughout the week that were sent to me. My dogs seemed very happy and were worn out when I got home. I will definitely be booking with Bree again as travel needs arise for work. If youre reading reviews on Rover and not sure how to start this process (like i was), start with Bree. She came to my house for a couple hours prior to the requested dates, met the pups and asked a ton of questions about their personalities. I honestly probably overdid it with the details, but it honestly feels like she remembered the details. Stop scrolling through the reviews and reach out to Bree. 10/10 will book again.”
About: I am experienced in pet sitting and care- including giving medication, taking walks, playing fetch, feeding, and giving the best cuddles to all furry friends!! I have a pretty flexible schedule! I work around 5 hours a day, so it allows me to be able to help out more ! I will follow the instructions given to me to take care of your pets! I love spending quality time with animals and giving lots of love!
About: Besides being a pet owner myself, I’ve worked for a puppy breeder, at well loved dog and cat grooming salons, and been a veterinary assistant where I gained experience in medications. How to orally and transdermally administer, as well as some injections and fluids. I’ve previously been a full time pet sitter/walker before as well! I’ve had lots of experience getting to know the needs and behaviors of dogs and cats. I’m a huge exotic animal lover too so if you have any rodents, lizards, snakes I’d be comfortable taking care of those! I’m currently doing pet sitting and walking full time so I have lots of free time to accommodate your pet needs whether that be multiple visit through the day, or 1 hour + long visits. I am more than comfortable to take care of dogs in yours and their personal home setting as well as welcoming them to my home. I live in a safe community with no pets or children of my own at home currently. I have a yard that is fenced and also have plenty of space to walk them around my neighborhood.
“Sam was wonderful! She cleaned up after herself, communicated with us really well, and most importantly, loved and cared for our pup like we do. She was incredibly thoughtful and intuitive about his care, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands with her. We would absolutely have her back!”
About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! From being little to an adult, I have taken care of/owned all types of animals. Currently I have a Tibetan mastiff, a keeshond and a Pomeranian! I also have a 125 gallon fish tank. Animals have always been my hobby and I cannot wait to help give you a piece of mind that your loved baby is taken care of while you are away! Scheduling will be dependent on what time is needed. Care on weekends would be open to any time needed. Week days would have to be scheduled. I treat and love all pets like they are my own. I would ensure their safety, and make them feel loved while the family is away!
About: I treat ALL pets like family! 💗 Hi! I’m Ashli, & I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members as if they were my own. I’ve had experience caring for animals for many years. Growing up, I regularly watched my uncle’s three dogs whenever he traveled, which taught me the importance of providing loving, reliable care while pet parents are away. I also pet sit for my other uncle’s dog from time to time, as well as friends’ pets whenever they need a helping hand. I’m a proud pet mom to two cats, Ginger & Honey, & two turtles, Bonzai & Lily. They truly are my babies, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. Whether your pet loves playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply having someone keep them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, & well cared for. I know every pet has their own unique personality, & I’m happy to adapt to their routine & needs. I can’t wait to meet you & your fur babies! I am very flexible! I would be more than happy to help where needed & I can always make anything work as long as I have a little bit of notice. I am willing to sit during the weekends as well! I will care for your pets in anyway you need me to, I go above & beyond to meet their needs & keep them happy. I also would love to be a new best friend to your fur baby 💗 I’m also open to meet & greets!
About: I've grown up with animals throughout my life and currently am going to school for psychology while working as a Vet Tech. I have been dog-sitting, cat-sitting, house sitting, play times, and dog-walking for the past 12 years for neighbors and family, as well as people from my mom's work and their neighbors. I have trained my dogs I currently have and have been through the puppy stages multiple times. For the time being I am available all day everyday for whatever you may need whether that be mid day walks or just a playtime visit I don't provide services in my own home due to my apartment’s dog policy but I will gladly go to your home so your animals are still having someone play with them and give them love.
About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! I also have an in house camera system for constant monitoring. Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy. I use flea prevention spray and traps between each client.
“Sierra watched out two dogs for the first time and we could not be happier! We received updates and pictures of our pups and felt very comfortable having her watch them! We will be using Sierra again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Leo is $43 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $53 per night.

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 Leo 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 Leo 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 Leo 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leo. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
