“Damien did an amazing job at caring for my dogs. They warmed up to him very quickly loved being around him. He was also very respectful of the house and very clean. I will be booking him again. I highly recommend Damien to anyone needing a good sitter.”
“Rachel was absolutely amazing with our three dogs! She stayed in our home while we were away, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was professional, communicative, and clearly experienced. All three of our dogs adored her — even the one who is usually very hesitant around strangers warmed up to her quickly, which says so much. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. She kept us updated, took great care of our home, and treated our dogs like they were her own. We came back to happy, relaxed pups and a spotless house. I highly, highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. She’s a gem! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“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.”
“Michelle was absolutely amazing. I have four dogs who require a lot of attention—three American Bullies and one 17-year-old Staffy who needs around-the-clock care—so leaving them with someone new was a big deal for me. From the start, Michelle had excellent communication, kept me updated regularly, and made me feel completely at ease during her first time dog sitting for us. Because of her, I was able to focus on where I was instead of worrying about my pups back home. I would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, caring, and attentive.”
“Eva was an amazing help! My pups (one of whom is very anxious) absolutely loved her and were very comfortable. I’m pretty sure one of the cats adopted her. Eva did a great job managing everyone’s shenanigans while we were away. My daughter loved the pictures and knowing her pups were safe and happy while we were gone.”
“Georgia was fantastic! She was available on short notice and took amazing care of our dog, Milo. Our dog is an anxious rescue, but she is a dog whisperer and immediately put our boy at ease and he was even wanting to sleep with her night one and showing his belly which he doesn’t do unless he’s 100% comfortable. I apologized for running low on his supplies and for him being a little stinky since his bath was delayed and she didn’t even hesitate to offer to go grab what he needed and even offered to bathe him. On top of taking great care of him, she took care of us anxious dog parents and communicated every step of the way and gave lots of updates and pictures. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Ashley was amazing, took great care of our dogs and our house. We appreciated her last minute availability over the holiday weekend and responding so quickly, she even offered a meet and greet prior to booking. Ashley sent daily pictures of our dogs and a little update each day which we greatly appreciated.”
“Rylee was great! She sent pictures, communicated well and took good care of my house! Jeanne had more walks than I generally do !I will definitely engage her again!”
“Meg is wonderful. We absolutely love her. We have a dog that requires two shots a day (insulin) and we never worry. We recommend her, but don't want anyone taking her from us!”
“Lindsey was amazing! She helped us out with a last minute trip and was very communicative. She sent lots of pictures of my babies and they seemed to love the attention. Would absolutely recommend her!”
“Laurie did great with our three dogs. She also cleaned our house after a very rainy week while we were gone. I would recommend her to others for both house and pet sitting.”
“Dora went above and beyond caring for the pups and left me feeling super comfortable with the dogs! They loved her staying over! Would 100% recommend Dora for your dog sitting / walking needs!! She’s the best!!”
“Sophia is a great sitter she took great care of dogs and cat. She was very professional and provided us the peace of mind we needed for our vacation. I would highly recommend and will use her again myself again for any future travel plans. Thank you Sophia”
“Leah is the first person to watch our pets (out of many) with whom I felt completely comfortable and didn’t worry about my pets constantly. She was communicative and made it clear that she takes care of our pets like she would her own!”
“We had an absolute wonderful time will chole. We had her for a couple of over night days. She play and walked our dog and took the time to truly care for our picky cats. We could not have asked for a better person to take care of our animals. She was completely through and would give us lovely pictures and updates on our babies. She was even able to snuggle or very skiddish kitty and that never happens. If you are looking for a pet sitter and are anxious about it look no further Chole is the best!”
“Grey was great! Respectful to our home but most importantly respectful to our pup! Sent regular updates and went above and beyond. We travel often so we will be using Grey again in the future! Highly recommend! We came home to a happy and healthy pup!”
“Roxanne is the best sitter!! Our pets Blue and Chloe have the best time and she treats them like her own. She is responsible, kind, courteous, and great at communicating and giving updates! We plan on booking with her again!!!”
“Taylor did a great job taking care of our dogs and home while we were gone for a week-long family trip. The dogs were well cared for and the house was clean and in great shape when we returned home.”

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!
Lexy is so awesome!!! We used her before and will only use her. Shes absolutely fantastic. She took care of my dogs so great!!! Then she cleaned my house not leaving a dirty dish!!! It’s spotless!!! If you want to make sure that your animal is well taken care of use Lexy!!! We love her!!
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 $42.18 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 1,632 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
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 99% 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.
