About: I have over 2 years of pet care experience. I love animals and not afraid of things get dirty, mess, scary, or all three with your animal. I’ll make SURE everything is ok 👍🐾🍇🌞 My schedule is completely open, so I can work at whatever hours are good for you. I provide all services except for taking care of pets in my house. I care for pets by making a connection with them, keeping them within there barriers and keeping an eye on them at all time. Ok
“Shariana took amazing care of our cats while we were away. She was very communicative and checked in regularly. She was super conscientious about our cats’ habits and needs. We felt confident that our cats would be happy and kept good company. She also left our apartment tidy and clean while she stayed at our place. Highly recommend trusting Shariana with your cats/pets.”
“Clay is amazing! I recently adopted a second cat, and their introduction is not going as smoothly as I expected. Since my 2 cats are not on good terms, I was worried about leaving, but Clay made everything easier. He sent me pictures every day, gave me updates about my kitties, and handled everything with kindness and patience. I would definitely recommend him!”
“Courtney was fantastic with our dog and our cat, too. She is very kind and definitely built a great bond with our dog while we were away. We hope to book with her again in the future.”
About: Hi! I'm a college student working toward vet school, so caring for animals isn't just a job for me, it’s what I genuinely love doing. I've had my own cat for 5 years, so I know what it's like to be a pet parent. I've also spent plenty of time watching other people’s dogs and cats, from very high energy puppies to older dogs who just want a quiet environment. I'm comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. If something’s wrong I will reach out immediately. Since I'm on summer break, I have a pretty open schedule, but I do like to be upfront about my specific availability. I'm available Monday through Friday all day. On Saturdays, I'm available after 4:00 PM. I can also do evening visits, but I wrap things up by 10:00 PM. My schedule is pretty open until I start class the 28th of August. I will have class on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 11am to 1:45pm and Fridays from 10am to 1:45pm. I know routines are really important to pets, so I'll work around whatever schedule your pet is used to, like midday walks, afternoon play sessions, or evening check-ins before bed. Consistency is very important! I only provide care in your home because I believe that pets are more comfortable in their own environment, with their own things and smells. I'm really careful with doors or any gates and will always make sure to double check every exit to make sure your pet stays safely inside. I will treat your home the way I'd want mine treated, I will clean up after myself, wash any bowls I use, and leave things tidy. I'll also send any updates/photos at every visit so you can see how things are going. I will also save your vet's contact info, just in case of any emergency. I always like to be prepared for anything.
“Elliyah rose to every challenge my dog presented her and was super communicative along the way. You can tell she loves all animals and is a wonderful, trustworthy person. Thank you Elliyah, so much!”
About: Hi, I’m Zoe! I’m from California and I like reading, swimming, and animals. I’ve had pets of every shape and size as long as I can remember. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, horses, fish, snakes, lizards, frogs, river otters, and rodents. I’m very responsible, calm, and communicative. I work full time so evenings and weekend are best for me. Let me know what you need and I’ll see what I can do! I’m sensitive and receptive to each animal’s unique needs. My home is very clean and safe and I am also a very neat and detail-oriented person.
“I can’t say enough good things about Candiance! She was so communicative throughout her stay with our dog and provided us with amazing photos and videos. She sent daily updates and our dog was so happy he barely even noticed we were gone. If I could give 10 stars I would!”
“Kayla May took the best care of my pup while I was on vacation! She stuck to her daily routines, was super attentive, and consistently checked in with photos/videos and updates making my time away easier on both of us. Lucia loves Kayla May and I can tell feels really loved and cared for when she stays with her.”
“Vivian saved the day. She was totally flexible, came in last-second, and asked all the right questions. I instantly had full confidence. Attentive and thorough with Sunny, and kept me updated the whole time. Would absolutely have her back.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Leonia is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Leonia
We had a great experience and felt completely comfortable leaving our two pups in his care! He was very attentive to their routine and made sure he understood everything they needed beforehand. He also kept us updated while we were away, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Our dogs are still young and definitely have some puppy behaviors that we’re working on, and he was very patient and understanding with them. It was clear that they were well cared for and in good hands the entire time. We came home to two happy pups and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. We’d happily book with him again!
We had a great experience with Sierra. We could tell that she took great care of Yoda while we were gone and also accommodated his fear of rain over a very rainy weekend. She respected our space and left our home very clean. We have already booked her for our upcoming travels and will continue to do so.
Jenny was absolutely wonderful with Amelia! She is so caring, attentive, and genuinely loving with her, and it gives us so much peace of mind knowing Amelia is in such good hands. She kept us updated, sent us adorable pictures, made sure Amelia was comfortable and settled for the night, and treated her like she was her own. Most importantly, Amelia absolutely loves her, which says everything. You can tell they have already built such a sweet bond. We feel incredibly lucky to have found someone we can trust so much with her. We would recommend Jenny without hesitation and will definitely continue using her. Thank you for taking such great care of our little girl! ❤️
Vanessa was amazing! My wife and I wanted to go out of town on short notice, and looking on Rover for someone we found Vanessa. She made us feel confident from the moment we met her that our dogs would be in good hands. She followed every instruction we had to the letter, and made sure to send us lots of pictures and updates on our dogs. She was even able to walk all three of them at one time, which is an impressive feat considering they are all over 70 pounds. We will definitely be using Vanessa again, and if you're looking for someone to watch your dogs we couldn't recommend Vanessa more!
Alexandra was amazing with our dog, Otis. She provided constant care for him, and gave us many updates while we were away. She was also very responsive, answering me immediately whenever I reached out. She was able to bond with Otis very quickly. She worked with him, gave him patience, and easily adapted to changes in his routine/diet. We came home to a happy and exceptionally cared for dog. :) We would work with Alexandra again in a heartbeat!
Dahili is fantastic with my dog--who now loves her and is completely comfortable with her--and it takes my rescue dog quite a while to trust someone. Dahili takes excellent care of her and our apartment while I am away. She is communicative, extremely professional and responsible and when she is staying with my dog, everyone is happy!!!
Monique was excellent! She was able to adhere to specific instructions we needed for a reactive dog plus another dog that is relatively well behaved and our cat in our apartment. Monique was very friendly with them and able to accommodate coming over to meet them on two separate occasions before the trip began to make sure that we had all the instructions clearly understood. She was very nice during our trip while we were away and sent us photos and videos to document the time they spent together and she made sure that we felt comfortable the entire time that we were away.
Marine did a wonderful job house sitting for us and taking care of Nuni for 4 days! Nuni usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but Marine made that connection with him in record time. She had exactly the right demeanor to make him comfortable enough to go on walks with her, which isn't always easy with him. I know Nuni gets pretty anxious when we're away, but I felt completely confident that Marine would keep him as comfortable and cared for as possible — and she did. She was also super communicative throughout the stay and took great care of our apartment as a respectful house sitter. We'd trust her again in a heartbeat with both our pup and our home. Highly recommend Marine to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!

The average cost of House Sitting in Leonia is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $101 per night.

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 Leonia 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 Leonia 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Leonia 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
