About: My mission is to give you peace of mind by making sure your animals feel safe and are loved and well cared for. I’ve always had a love for animals and a passion for caring for them. I have been a pet parent for the past 10 years and have been a part-time pet sitter for friends and family during that time. I have changed careers and am now a full-time pet sitter. I also volunteered at two animal shelters for 5 years. I offer personalized care for your pets based on their needs and routines—whether they’re energetic pups who love to play fetch, or more chill kitties who just need a lap to nap on, I’m happy to accommodate. What makes me stand out? I’m patient, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll send you regular updates, so you never have to worry, and I’m happy to follow any special instructions to ensure your pet feels right at home. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy for your pet and I take that responsibility seriously. I am a full-time pet sitter, so I have lots of time to devote to your fur babies. I am available for drop-ins, overnight visits and boarding all throughout the week. I have a fenced in yard with pet turf for your fur babies to run and play. I treat your dogs as if they were my own, providing lots of love and attention. The dogs have free roam of the house including my bed for lots of cuddling.

Connor did a great job in getting Bella comfortable with him for his first sit. He sent photos daily, promptly answered my messages and left the house in excellent condition. I will use his service again.

About: I have over 10 years of experience providing reliable, loving care for both dogs and cats. My pet sitting journey began over a decade ago, while I was in high school, caring for my neighbors' pets and homes, and over the years, my business has grown through word-of-mouth recommendations through those same neighbors and several coworkers across various jobs, as well as caring for family members' pets. Whether keeping up with energetic dogs, maintaining strict feeding routines, or providing gentle companionship for cats, I pride myself on giving pet parents complete peace of mind while they are away through consistent communication and transparency. Pet care is a top priority in my daily routine. Because I work part-time with flexible hours, I am easily able to adjust my schedule around your pet’s specific needs and feeding routines. Whether your pet needs early morning visits, mid-day attention, evening check-ins, or all day cuddles and companionship, I build my day around ensuring your pet gets timely, uninterrupted care. When caring for pets in your home, I make it my mission to ensure the safety of your pets and your home's security are always met. I treat your home with total respect by ensuring doors, gates, and windows remain securely shut and entry codes/keys are strictly safeguarded. Whether walking dogs on-leash or spending time inside with cats, I am always vigilant about their surroundings and body language. I closely follow all feeding, exercise, and medication instructions, conduct double-checks on doors and fences before leaving, and send detailed updates with photos so you have total peace of mind.

Amy was fantastic! She sent pictures of the cats and updated me regularly on them. Absolutely would recommend her for pet sitting and will book her again on my next trip. Nothing is better than having peace of mind that my pets are cared for when I'm out of town.

Sarah was exceptional. I honestly couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provided for our dogs. We have a Dutch Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix and a Chihuahua mix, and she did an amazing job with both of them. She was incredibly thorough, communicative, and responsive throughout the entire stay. She sent some absolutely incredible pictures that gave us peace of mind and showed just how comfortable and happy our dogs were in her care. Unfortunately, our dogs decided to be a little naughty while we were away and made quite a mess. Sarah cleaned up everything without complaint and went above and beyond what I would ever expect from a dog sitter. That level of dedication and care says a lot about the kind of person she is. I can’t say enough good things about her. She treated our dogs like they were her own, and it was obvious she genuinely cared about them. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring to watch your pets, I highly recommend Sarah. We will absolutely be booking with her again

About: I have always had dogs growing up of all shapes and sizes. I currently live on a few acres with my husband, our dog, cat, and rabbit. I have had experience with pregnant dogs, litters of puppies, as well as overnight care. I love dogs, and have a very friendly dog myself who loves to play fetch. I am a full time teacher, however on weekends I am normally free to stay at home. I am not able to board during the week, however I am free to do house visits in the afternoon/evening. I have a fenced in yard. Dogs are not allowed on the furniture, but I do normally sit on the floor with my dog. I have multiple rooms to keep the rabbit, and cat seperated if need be,

Keri was a wonderful sitter for our 4 girls. She followed all instructions and even had to deal with our 3 big storm fear girls in the middle of the night when a thunderstorm moved in. Everyone had their calming treats and got settled in. We communicated frequently since this was her first time to stay at the house and I am a nervous momma. I got pictures and updates and it was wonderful. We will definitely be using her again.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and have experience with dogs, cats, sick and elderly pets, and kittens. I’ve cared for an elderly dog who needed constant supervision, helped at a cat shelter, and helped nurse sick kittens back to health. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading animal body language and respecting each pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I love playing and spending time with animals, and I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets with different needs. Most importantly, I’m great at following instructions and will make sure your pets receive the care and attention you want for them. My schedule is generally very flexible, so I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and needs. I don’t have many set weekly commitments, aside from being unavailable Saturday evenings from about 8:00–9:30 PM. I’m happy to care for pets in whatever way best fits their normal routine, whether that means walks, playtime in the yard or house, crating, or simply keeping them company. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure I understand your pet’s routines, boundaries, and needs before caring for them. I’m comfortable adjusting my approach to each individual pet.

About: I've been taking care of pups for over 15 yrs now. At first my own pups, but then I would help out friends and family with their pups while they went on vacations and/or traveled for work. My family says I have a kinship with dogs as most dogs naturally get a long with me. Sometimes I can calm the most excitable pup and have them relax in my lap. I work pretty early in the morning. I'm usually home by 10-11 am. I have a pretty good schedule regarding feeding and potty breaks. I tend to take the pups out for walking and play I have a fenced back yard and a dog park near by. I can take your fur babies to the park or on walks regularly. I currently have 2 pups myself, they are well trained and have a pretty steady routine (food and potty breaks). They get along well with other dogs, no biting or aggression. They do set boundaries though. NO humping.

About: I have dogsat for around 3 years now both small dogs like mine and big australian shepards. I care for children as well. 💗 💗 I attend class 10-2 pm. So that gives me plenty of time for morning restroom breaks & check-ins, and im free afterwards (unless im babysitting) I would make sure to not disturb their peace but also make them feel love and give them all the necessary attention they may need.

Another great sitting experience with Britney! She loves Bella like she's her own, and it shows in everything she does. Bella actually pouts when Britney leaves because she adores her so much! Bella has special needs due to allergies, including medication and grooming requirements that need close attention. Britney is always on top of every detail and sends photos with updates, which gives me complete peace of mind. Beyond that, she spends quality time playing, snuggling, and showering Bella with affection. It's clear that caring for dogs isn't just a job for her, it's something she genuinely loves. I'm so grateful to have found her and highly recommend her services.

FAQs for House Sitting - Leonard

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 580 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:

  • 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 89% 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.
