“Sonia was so kind to take a last minute booking for a family emergency. She came for a meet and greet and asked great questions to make sure she was prepared. She was communicative and sent pictures throughout the stay, and followed through the schedule we had discussed. She definitely seems like a dog whisperer, when she came to bring the key back, my dog stood at the door watching her! I would absolutely welcome her back to house/dog sit.”

About: Veterinary Technician with 6+ yrs of experience. Comfortable with puppies, seniors, diabetic pets, post-op care, medication administration, SQ injections and special-needs pets of all ages. As a veterinary technician caring for animals already part of my daily routine. I can accommodate most schedules, medication administration and special needs while providing attentive and compassionate care. ❤️ I play close attention to each pet’s health, behavior and daily routine.

About: Hi! I'm Yoana, a dedicated pet sitter originally from the Washington, D.C, Maryland area with over 13 years of hands on pet care experience. I've been caring for dogs and other pets since 2013 and have proudly been part of the Rover community for over 7 years. One of the things I'm most proud of is the trust I've built with my clients. Over the years, I developed a loyal client base with 19 repeat Rover clients who kept me consistently booked on a regular rotation. Because my schedule was filled with returning families, I stopped accepting new clients and focused on providing personalized care to the pets who already relied on me. While this may explain the lack of recent reviews on my profile, I remained actively pet sitting and caring for my long-term Rover families. In April 2026, my family and I relocated to Texas. Now that we're settled into our new home, I'm excited to reopen my schedule and welcome new clients! 🐶 What You Can Expect • Daily photo and video updates ❤️ • Plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention • Potty breaks every 1–2 hours as needed • Experience with puppies, senior dogs, and special-needs pets • Comfortable administering medications • Potty training and crate training support • Reliable communication and personalized care 🐾 Typical Daily Schedule • Morning Walk: 7–8 AM • Midday Walk/Potty Break: 12–1 PM • Afternoon Walk: 4–5 PM • Final Evening Potty Break: 10–11 PM I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, belly rubs, fetch, or simply relaxing on the couch, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🫶🏼🐾

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Leon Valley
Alyssa was amazing! We went on a 10 day vacation, and she took such great care of our 14 year old dog. She communicated consistently, sent updates and pictures of our pup, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. I highly recommend her and would definitely trust her to watch our dog again!
If I can give 10 stars I would! Leah went above and beyond for my 3 babies! She was patient with our two larger dogs. They’re very shy and nervous and she did several meet n greets to ensure everyone was comfortable! We will most definitely be using Leah’s services in the future!!
Wow, what a gift Sonia is. From the start, communication was excellent, and it was clear that my dog was in caring and capable hands. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave me peace of mind while we I was away. It was also very special that she appreciated and noticed the same little things about my dog that I do, a sign that she was being present and loving towards my little one. So happy to have found her. Thank you Sonia!!
Faith has watched Terre several times now and has always been wonderful! She’s reliable, communicative, and takes great care of him. I always feel comfortable leaving Terre with her because I know he’s in good hands. She’s been a huge help, and I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Dorothy was absolutely amazing with both of our boys! We had a meet and greet before she house sat for us and the boys instantly loved her. While we were away, she followed all of our rules, especially with giving Odie his daily medication twice a day. She sent us constant pictures of the boys while we were away, and there was never a moment where she was not playing with them and keeping them entertained. Dorothy was an amazing sitter, and we will be more than happy to have her watch over our boys again. Thank you Dorothy!!
This is the second time we had Samantha watch our pups for us while we were out of town and quite honestly the only person we will use if we go away. I get anxiety leaving my little pups and knowing they are with her I stress far less. I am so appreciative of her and how she loves and cares for my pups!
We enjoyed the services provided by Riley. She attended to the needs of our pets, provided pictures and updates on how they were responding to her and the care she was providing. My wife and I recommend Riley for overnight stays with your pets. She is competent and her communications give you peace of mind while being away on travel.

FAQs for House Sitting - Leon Valley
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Leon Valley on Rover is $42.8 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,639 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Leon Valley. 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 Leon Valley 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 Leon Valley 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 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!
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Leon Valley. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
