“Emily took care of my dog, 2 cats, box turtle, and a tank of fish for 5 days and did an amazing job! She followed my care instructions for each animal perfectly, and dealt with all their quirks easily. I loved the daily communication and pictures of my pets, will book with her again in the future !”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who believes pets are family and deserve to be treated with kindness, patience, and respect. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your furry family members are safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m naturally attentive, dependable, and detail-oriented. I believe in following each pet’s individual routine, respecting their personality, and making sure they receive plenty of affection, enrichment, and attention. Whether your pet loves playing, exploring, cuddling, or simply relaxing in a familiar environment, my goal is to provide a positive, stress-free experience. I also believe in keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so they can enjoy peace of mind while they’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone your family can trust! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for drop-in visits, dog walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week, depending on my family’s schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and love the opportunity to help pet parents feel confident that their furry family members are receiving attention and care while they’re away. I’m happy to discuss scheduling needs and work together to find a routine that works for everyone! I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes because I believe animals are often most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s beloved pet and respecting their home very seriously. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications when appropriate, playtime, and household routines. I always prioritize safety, including securing doors and gates, using appropriate leashes, and being mindful of each animal’s individual needs and temperament. I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big decision. I strive to provide dependable, compassionate care while maintaining clear communication. I’m happy to send photos and updates during visits so you can relax knowing your pet is being cared for. My goal is to make every visit a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for your pet!
“Very wonderful and took very good care of my 2 fur babies! Lots of pics sent to us and updates through out the days! If I ever need a sitter again I will get her again! We had her come to our home so they would be more comfortable.”
“Ashlyn was absolutely wonderful with our pups! She took great care of them and gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. She was dependable, caring, and made the whole experience so easy. We really appreciate her taking such good care of our fur babies and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter. We would happily book with her again!”
About: I’ve loved animals since before I could remember! I grew up in Scott on land with dogs, cats, horses, goats, birds, and fish! Now I have a border collie husky mix, he’s 4 years old. :) My work schedule differs every week so message me to see my availability. I consistently work from 7-4 Monday through Friday and the rest of the time will change! I have a very large unfenced yard where there is plenty of space for dogs to be themselves. I have plenty of toys that I could bring with me or have at my house for boarding. I could crate your dog if needed (not required at all).

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 54 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Leola. 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 Leola 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 Leola 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 Leola 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.
