Kristina was outstanding. We have 3 dogs & 2 cats that she sat for, for over a week. She kept me up to date with pictures and notes every single day. She took out my garbage, brought up the bins, brought in mail,& left a detailed note when we returned about each pet. I think they’re all going to miss her, so I’m definitely hiring her again. It’s a great feeling to know someone is loving on your pet while you’re away, & I had total peace of mind my entire vacation thanks to Kristina.

About: I am 25 years old. I have been cat and dog sitting since I was in middle school. Alongside that I have worked at a dog kennel for 2 1/2 years. And I am currently in school to become a vet tech. I have experience with dogs of all ages and size. I have experience with administering medications such as pills, ear medication, oral medication, eye medication, insulin, etc. I also have experience with small paralyzed dogs and know how to express bladders in smaller dogs/cats. I am currently in school Monday - Thursday but my schedule is quite flexible and on those days I will only be at campus for a couple/few hours. So I will still be able to provide the utmost care for your babies and give them all the attention they need! Animals are my passion and I love spending time with them. I would make sure to curate the time I spend with your fur babies based on their age and temperament. Whether that’s taking a high energy pup on walks or playing outside with them. Or extra snuggle time for the more elderly or chill babies. I also will make sure your baby has plenty of bathroom breaks throughout the day and I also love to send photo and text updates!

Kitty housesat and took care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we went away for a couple of nights. She did a great job, lots of updates and photos. I knew how well it went when I got home and my Border Collie was happy to see me, but she didn't "wig out". (This was the first time EVER that she didn't act like she hadn't seen me in years - she dies it even when I'm gone a few hours to run errands. We couldn't believe it!) Highly recommend and we'll be a repeat customer.

10/10! Bonnie is truly a dog lover and a professional! I completely forgot to take out the trash on trash day as I was in a rush for travel... completely unprompted she noticed it and took it out to the street! She organized my mail, washed the sheets she slept on....all on top of spoiling Thunder with going to the parks, outdoor mall, car rides and treats! I loved all the updates she provided throughout the visit of thunder. Will definitely use Bonnie again!

About: Hi, I’m Katie 👋🏻 Caring for pets isn’t just something I love; it’s what I do every single day! I currently work as a Supervisor at a high-end dog boarding/daycare resort, and previously as a Shift Leader for 2 years at another boarding/daycare kennel for dogs AND cats. I’ve had the privilege of working with pets of all ages, breeds, sizes, temperaments, and personalities. I’m also experienced with medication administration of all kinds and following detailed care routines, so you can feel confident your pet’s needs will be taken seriously while you’re away. You can expect plenty of updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is safe, happy, and being well cared for. Have questions or a specific need for your pet? Feel free to send me a message! I’d love to learn more about your companion and see how I can help. Whenever I’m not at work, I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs. On my days off, I have extra flexibility and can spend more one-on-one time with your companion, whether that means longer walks, extra playtime, or simply giving them ALL of the attention and companionship they deserve. Overnight stays are accepted on a case by case basis depending on my work schedule and the location of your home. During walks and drop-in visits, my focus is on safety, enrichment, quality of care, and making sure your pet gets the attention they need. Before each booking, I’ll get to know their schedule, feeding routine, exercise needs, medications (if applicable), and any behavioral quirks or preferences.

About: I love caring for pets of all ages and breeds, from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs and cats. I’m skilled in giving medications, as I care for my own senior dog. I can maintain special diets, and provide physical activity, as well as mental stimulation to keep pets happy and healthy. What sets me apart is my ability to read each animal’s special needs, as I have many pets of my own. I have much patience and compassion when it comes to pets, whether it’s training a puppy, assisting a senior pet with mobility, or simply offering cuddles and attention. I treat each and every pet as my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around feedings, walks, playtime, and check ins to make sure each pet gets consistent attention and care. I’m flexible and reliable, so I can accommodate different routines, whether that’s early mornings, evenings, or special care needs. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I make it a priority, not something I squeeze in. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, medication, and playtime instructions closely, while giving plenty of attention and affection. I keep the home tidy, clean up after pets (including litter boxes and feeding areas), and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is well cared for.

This was my first time leaving my cats, and I was so relieved to find Mckenzie. So grateful to her for her awesome cat sitting! She was extremely friendly and eager to bond with my cats to make them as comfortable as possible while we were gone. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really enjoyed. She also left the house spotless. Thanks again McKenzie, I’m sure we will be contacting you again!

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’ve always felt at home with animals, especially dogs. I believe every dog has their own unique personality, and I love taking the time to understand what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or calm and cuddly, I’ll meet them where they are with patience, kindness, and genuine care. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know your furry family member is happy and in good hands. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, feeding routines, administering basic medications if needed, and giving plenty of affection and companionship. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where your dog feels secure while you’re away. I know trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love the opportunity to care for your best friend and become someone you can rely on whenever you need a helping hand.

Rachel surpassed expectations during her 4 day stay at our home. Our doggy got sick right away and she was responded as if our dog was her own. She communicated often and working through the problems together, she fixed our pup right up. On top of that, she helped us clean up our home as we were unable to get to everything before going away. The place was spotless and the dog was super happy. Rachel will absolutely watch our dog again.

About: I have worked with many different dogs including dogs who require medication, dogs with anxiety, dogs who are slow to warm up to people and dogs with energetic personalities. I also work very well with cats and have a lot of experience caring for both indoor and outdoor cats. My family has owned pets ever since I was a kid so I have grown up with animals and am very comfortable around them. As an entrepreneur I have a very open schedule. I am available all times of day on weekdays and frequently have availability for weekends. I have some availability for Holliday’s. I closely follow the owners instructions for how they want their house and pets treated while I’m there. If you do not have a yard to let your pets roam free in I am able to take them on walks as often as needed. I follow feeding instructions and I am extra careful to make sure that dogs with special diets get what is needed and don’t receive what they can’t have.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was younger and I am a huge dog person! My family has always had dogs, we have two mastiffs right now, and I plan to have dogs for the rest of my life. I have been a sitter for many neighbors and extended family, and I worked at a dog boarder/daycare for three years. I’m currently working full time and am a full time grad student. I still regularly take care of others pets as needed. I am free during weekends. During the week, I can do morning, evening and night. I make sure they are fed, comfortable, and of course receiving attention. I give them plenty of time outside and pay attention to their needs. I also am able to break up a dog fight and check for any injuries.

About: Hi! I’m a dependable and compassionate pet sitter with hands on experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. During high school, I worked at an animal hospital where I learned about animal behavior, handling techniques, and the importance of providing attentive, individualized care. In addition to my experience, I’ve cared for many dogs and cats through pet sitting and understand how important it is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a senior companion, or anything in between, I’m committed to treating them like family. Because I work from home, I have the flexibility to provide plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, playtime, and regular updates throughout the day. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is receiving loving, reliable care in a safe environment. I work from home full-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Because I’m home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods and will receive plenty of companionship, potty breaks, playtime, meals, and attention. I can also easily accommodate your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care based on their personality and routine. I take the time to get to know each pet so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure their needs are met. I follow all feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, keep litter boxes and living areas clean, and provide regular updates with photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

FAQs for House Sitting - Leonard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Leonard on Rover is $33.3 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 1,703 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Leonard. 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 Leonard 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 Leonard 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 Leonard 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 Leonard. On Rover:

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.
