“Marla took amazing care of our fur babies! What we loved the most was how she took time to play with them each visit and sent us the best pics to keep us updated. We will be using her again!”
“Caryn is an amazing cat sitter! She takes great care of Oreo, always keeping her well-fed, entertained, and happy. Caryn’s updates with photos give me peace of mind. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a reliable and caring sitter!”
About: I am a special education teacher who has a lot patience, respect and love for children and dog especially those with special needs. Trust is important. I am currently working full time but will be retiring soon. I want to start pet sitting now to built rapport with families and get to know their pets. I take the safety of pets very serious and would adhere to the requirements of each home security to provide quality and safe care for each family's beloved pet(s).
About: I’ve taken care of puppy’s-senior dog, I had my dog since she was a puppy and she is now a senior dog she lives at my dads house because I moved out about a year ago. I’m good taking dogs on walks, playing, belly rubs!! I am currently a part time babysitter so I have extra time on my hands! I love going to the animal shelter and taking out the dogs to play, so this would be great for me. I would make sure to treat them as my own read instructions and follow them to a tea. Give them lots of belly rubs and snuggles, playtime and lots of times around me.
“I can’t speak highly enough of Vivian!!! We were gone for a week and my cat normally cries for 3days when I get back from out of town. This trip he has remained calm, I can really tell that he was loved while we were gone! Highly recommend with a 10 million star review!!! Thank you Vivian and I look forward to having you come visit Odin again on our next trip!”
“Shadow loved Ellie! She was so excited to go for a walk and is now taking a nap! Very grateful for Ellie helping me out today when I’m stuck in education and can’t go walk my doggo!! Thank you! I’ll defiantly keep you in mind for next time too!”
“Jackson was a wonderful pet sitter for our 3 dogs and 2cats affectionately known as our zoo. He was very professional and was an excellent at communicating. We will definitely have him petsit for us again.”
About: I have several years of experience caring for animals through pet sitting (dogs, puppies not yet potty trained, birds, and cats), as well as fostering puppies and bunnies (not currently available for fostering), dog walking, and volunteer work with humane societies in multiple states. My experience includes feeding, walks, playtime, check-ins, and house sitting. I also have nearly two years of professional and independent home-care experience, including cleaning private homes and Airbnbs and house sitting, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets in someone else’s home and treating their space with respect. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s individual personality and routine. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, house sitting, and weekend care, and can often accommodate different routines and schedules with advance notice. I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and following each owner’s specific routine and instructions. I have experience pet sitting, house sitting, and professionally cleaning private homes and Airbnbs, so I understand the trust involved in being in someone else’s home. I’m attentive to doors, gates, feeding instructions, medications, and each pet’s individual comfort and safety.
“I was super nervous about having to leave the city for a while and having someone else to watch my two cats but Cristina made me feel calm and peaceful. She was very attentive to the instructions I gave her about how to care for my girls and there was always communication and lots of pictures so I always knew what was going on. I definitely recommend Cristina and I will hire her services again when I have to be away from home for a long time. By the way, my two cats got along very well with her even though they are generally very shy.”
“She’s awesome ! She handled both my boys with extreme care. Was very attentive to both of my dog’s needs! I didn’t have that weird feeling of something happening to my dogs. I got updates every time she visited to walk the boys and feed them. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter! Definitely will continue to book with her!”
“Hailey stepped in last minute to help us out of another Rover situation that wasn’t working out. She was reliable and did great with our dog. We were able to relax knowing our dog was in good hands.”
“Hector is awesome with our crazy pups! He sent a steady stream of photos and videos so we knew they were well taken care of. This is our second time booking with him and we will book with him again.”
“I can enjoy myself and not worry about my fur babes when I have Miguel and Marifer come to visit. The care and individual attention they give to each of my fur babes cannot be matched. I would recommend them to anyone who treats their animals like family.”
About: NOTE: Not taking any new boarding requests for November 2026. One of my dachshunds, Olsen, just had emergency back surgery, so I will be focusing on his recovery. ——— I grew up with a wide variety of pets (dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish), have been pet-sitting an even wider variety (parakeets, turtles) since I was a teenager, and also trained service dogs for two different organizations in college. I am currently the go-to pet sitter for most of my friends and family because they know I will treat their pets like my own (i.e. happy and spoiled). ——— I have experience with pets in all stages of life, as well as those with special needs. If your pet takes medications or has a complicated feeding schedule, I can easily handle it (bonus points if you provide detailed notes, though!). I am an office worker with a hybrid schedule, so I’m only in the office Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I am available for boarding and drop-in visits most weekdays, weekends and holidays. I own a small, single-story home with a large, fenced in backyard in a quiet neighborhood with a lot of walking trails and parks nearby. I strive to provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for all. Pets are also welcome on the furniture (I mean, where else will those snuggle sessions occur?). --- I have one cat and two dachshunds, so my house is both cat- and dog-friendly. I provide several cat trees, scratching posts, and litter boxes throughout the house. I also have multiple dog crates, as well as ramps up to the bed and couches.
About: Ive taken care of pets ever since i was 8 with my own pets since they were my responsibility, I was in charge of walking them, bathing them, brushing them, cleaning after them, feeding them and play with them. But I've been around dogs ever since i came out of the womb where my mom taught me to be respectful loving and caring for our little furry friends. I have taken care of neighbors and family dogs ever since I was 12.Im also very good at at taking care of puppies, I’ve personally taken care of two litters of puppies, in different occasions, where I closely pay attention to them make sure they are fed even if they don’t instantly latch to the mom, I know how to safely feed them formula if the mom rejects them to latch, so if you have puppies or are a foster of puppies feel free to book me to help you take care of them. I’m currently a full-time college student at UTSA, and pet care is my only job, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends! I take five classes, two of which are online, giving me several hours of availability between classes for drop-in visits and dog walks. I’m also available in the evenings for later visits, dinner feedings, and any additional care your pets may need. I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule and make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet has fresh water, food as instructed, bathroom breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. During dog walks, I keep your dog safely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, and adjust the walk to their pace and needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely, respect your home, and keep you updated so you can feel confident that your furry friend is in good hands.
About: I’m a life time pet lover. I’ve had dogs, cats, horses & bunnies growing up but have always loved dogs the most. I’m familiar with all sorts of breeds from my own personal experience. Big breeds such as German Shepherds, American Akitas, Pitbulls & small breeds like dachshund, chihuahuas & poodles. My experience in caring for these breeds has been from my own pets, & caring for family and friends pups. Just as much as I loved their pups & my own i’d do the same with your beloved pups! I currently work full time, but I am able to walk/ pet sit your pup after work or on the weekends. They will get the best care possible! I live in an apartment, but on the weekend and when I am home after work they get two walks before bed and several walks throughout the day when I’m home on the weekends.
“Ashley did a great job communicating the visits she had at my home I appreciated her loving care and attention to details. Plus, her humor in accepting the silly dog and chickens I letting her charge. Everything looked great when I returned home.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Leon Valley
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Amazing Experience with Leigh! Highly Recommend! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Leigh! This was our first experience using Rover, and I’ll admit I was initially hesitant about leaving our two fur babies in someone else’s care. However, from the moment we met Leigh, she immediately made us feel comfortable and reassured. After her very first visit, I knew we had made the right decision! Leigh went above and beyond by providing detailed updates, thoughtful communication, and plenty of pictures of our girls. Seeing them happy and well cared for gave us such peace of mind while we were out of town. She followed their feeding schedule, daily routines, and even their special toy regimen, making sure they received the love, attention, and consistency they are accustomed to. It was clear that Leigh genuinely cared about their well-being and treated them as if they were her own. When we returned home, our girls were happy, relaxed, and clearly very well taken care of. That alone speaks volumes! What started as an experience I was nervous about turned into one that exceeded every expectation. Leigh is dependable, attentive, compassionate, and truly exceptional at what she does. Being able to enjoy our trip without constantly worrying about our babies was priceless. We are beyond grateful to have found Leigh and will absolutely be booking with her again! If you’re looking for someone you can genuinely trust with your fur babies, look no further. Leigh is amazing, and we wholeheartedly recommend her! ❤️🐾
Jaclyn was amazing with Adonis and took wonderful care of him! She always made sure he had enough breaks and truly enjoyed his walks. She even accommodated a last-minute booking, which was a huge relief. I definitely recommend her services 100%, she is professional and always provides an update after each visit:)
After years of trusting Allison to watch our now 10 year old pup, we added a 3 year old German Shepherd to the mix. This was our first time leaving them overnight and I was slightly stressed but Allison made sure to keep me updated on how they were doing, expertly handled our daily routine, and gained a lifelong friend in our new pup.
This was our first time booking with Priscilla and she was very professional and so good with our senior dog Chiko. He warmed up to her after the first visit and she was great providing updates throughout our trip. Will definitely book again if needed!
Addison was amazing with my dogs! Words cant express enough how greatful I am to have found her, she was patient, kind, affectionate and my dogs loved her. She is truly am asset to this company and deserves nothing less than 100 stars and a raise! I highly recommend her and hope to have her watch the fur babies again when we are out of town. Thanks a million times over Addison for just being you, Amazing!!!
Sonia went above and beyond in watching our pets. When presented with several unforeseen difficulties, including leaving the wrong key and my cat not eating, Sonia went out of her way to communicate and brainstorm with me to find the best solutions and care for my fur babies. Sonia even made an extra trip out to my apartment to ensure my pets got fed, went potty, felt loved, and had good playtime. Sonia did an amazing job with my girls and I would highly recommend her to others!
We had a wonderful experience with Sophia! She came twice a day to check on our dog, Loki, and was always punctual, attentive, and communicative. Loki is usually very timid around new people, but he warmed up to her almost immediately, which speaks volumes about how caring and trustworthy she is. It gave us great peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend her for daily check-ins, pet sitting, or any pet care needs!
Ryann saved the day! On a 2 day notice that our original sitter wasn’t going to be able to take care of our dogs. I messaged Ryann the same day to do a couple drop in visits over the weekend and she came through despite prior commitments. We owe you so big. Thank you.
Brenda was an absolute professional when taking care of my pets. She was on time, caring and went above and beyond my expectations. We will 100% ask for her help in the future. She was wonderful. Thank you for taking care of our babies! It takes sooooo much pressure off of leaving them knowing someone so kind is caring for them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Leon Valley is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $30 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 2,823 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Leon Valley. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 Leon Valley 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!
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.
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Leon Valley with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leon Valley. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
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.
