Gillian did great caring for my dog and 4 cats over night. They were all very comfortable with her and allowed for me to enjoy my night away from home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I have house sat for at least three different people and took care of their pets! I’ve worked with senior dogs and puppies. I also have a part time job at a pet store so I have a decent amount of knowledge on pets and am more than happy to get things from the store for you! I have also administered medicine to a dog with health issues so I am comfortable administering medicine. I work part-time at a pet store! But I have time in between these things to drop in on pets and walk them, play with them, and even feed them. I’m happy to do whatever needs to be done’ My cat is older so she doesn’t play much anymore, but I’ve played with lots of kitties before. I’ve also played with dogs, big and small. My old home had a fenced in yard that I used to play with the dogs in. I no longer have that, but I love taking my own dog on long walks to burn off some of that energy!

April watched our gaggle of pups when we had to unexpectedly go out of town. She did an amazing job with them, was responsive, and I felt at ease knowing she had a handle on our crew. We have a puppy and an older guy needing medical care and she handled both so well. I would definitely recommend April!

Alexandria was awesome! We used her for overnight stays. She kept in contact with us during her stay. Jack, Tequila & Moo all seemed to love her! Tequila is almost 18 and needed oral medication and she administered it without any issues. The house was very clean and probably in better condition then we left it. We definitely will be using her again!

Gia was an excellent house sitter and pet sitter. I have two older cats, and was a little nervous about leaving them for two weeks. But when I returned, my house was clean, my cats were happy and well fed, and my mail was stacked on the kitchen table. Gia contacted me several times during my vacation, and sent photographs and video of the cats at home. I highly recommend her!

About: I’ve worked at a dog hotel, and I’ve pet sat for both cats and dogs. I’ve never met a dog that didn’t like me, and I’ve never met a cat that didn’t tolerate me. I’m a student pilot, so some days I have about 2 and a half hours where I won’t be available. Otherwise I have a very flexible schedule and can spend all day or any time caring for your pet. I don’t have any pets of my own, but I’m good at making anyone’s pets friendly with me. I’ve done daily check-ins and up to two weeks staying at someone’s house to keep their dog active and happy.

Brenda stayed at our place and took great care of our cat while we were away. She communicated daily and provided updates and photos and I could tell she was sweet with him and he warmed up to her despite his shy nature. I could tell Brenda has a lot of experience with pets, and she was very diligent with our home and thoughtful in her communication.

About: House sitting, dog walks, training and drop in visits for all pets. I have cared for animals my entire life, from dogs and cats to small pets. I am actively training dogs with structured leash and behavior support during walks. I have raised puppies through two litters, so I understand the patience, attention and care they need at every stage. Animals have always been part of my family, loving companions and treated as such. I treat every pet I meet as I would treat my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, or keeping them comfortable in your home, I provide dependable, loving care that keeps tails wagging and the owners at ease. I know dogs thrive on routine, so I'm happy to provide weekly care at consistent times; walks, play or just someone to sit with while you're at work or on vacation. Premium overnight care for pets who deserve a calm, experienced caregiver. Thoughtful communication, respectful home care, and personalized attention while you're away. Daily walks are part of my own health and wellness routine, and caring for pets fits right in. Sadly, my own dogs have passed, and the right one hasn't come into my life yet. Until then, I would love the chance to share my time, energy and affection with other's people pets. Dogs especially bring me joy, and walking them keeps both of us happy, active and cared for. I'd like your dog to know me as their regular walking buddy. I follow each pet parent's instructions closely and respect their home. My focus is on your pet's safety and comfort, and well-being so you can feel confident they are cared for while you're away. I am available for consistent weekly walks, drop-ins, and over night house sitting.

About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was a kid. Growing up I had an adorable pit bull that I would feed, walk, and bathe regularly. My family and friends also had cats that I would occasionally watch and feed as well. Recently I have excelled with sticking to strict dietary restrictions for a senior dog I sat to also helping leash train and walk my siblings 6 month old dog. I'm a full time college student and have a part time job. Luckily between my class schedule and work schedule I have more than enough flexibility to provide the service you and your pet need. I have personal dog walking experience and can provide a comfortable walking environment for your pet. I also have experience with rowdy dogs and can safely handle playtime.

Mackenzie was fantastic! She took care of our dog in our home for eight days. Our dog was so well taken care of we will continue to have her come take him on walks. She continually sent updates and pictures. She made sure he had walks and gave him plenty of outside time. My house was cleaner then I left it, and she brushed him while he was blowing his coat. I did not worry once about my dog or home while I was gone! Thank you Mackenzie, we are very thankful we found you, so is Andy!

About: I’m an adult who is passionate about providing dependable, loving care for animals of all ages while their owners are away. I’m especially comfortable with senior pets who may need extra patience, attention, slower walks, medication routines, or simply more companionship. I respect each pet’s individual personality and routine and want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their animals and home are in caring, responsible hands. My pet-care schedule is flexible and built around my clients’ needs. I intentionally plan my week around bookings, allowing me to accommodate daytime visits, walks, overnight stays, weekends, and extended care. I enjoy making pet care a priority rather than trying to squeeze it into a busy schedule. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable with their familiar surroundings and routine. I carefully follow feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions and give each pet the individual attention they need. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, with communication and updates while you’re away.

We had an amazing experience with Addison! From the moment we left, communication was outstanding. We received regular updates, photos, and messages throughout our trip, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were clearly well cared for and loved. It was obvious that she took the time to get to know their personalities and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and safe. She was incredibly reliable, professional, and kind, and we never had to worry about a thing. We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and communicative pet sitter!

FAQs for House Sitting - Leroy

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of September 2026, there are 401 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Leroy. 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 Leroy 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 Leroy 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 Leroy 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 Leroy. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.
