“Corey was a helpful and communicative pet sitter who spent time with my dog, and was flexible. Checked in multiple times to make sure we had his services as long as they were needed. I would book with Corey again.”
“Michelle was great to work with and followed all our need for our pets. I was comfortable leaving them with her. She was great with pictures and updates. Will use her again .”
“Paige is amazing! She really went above and beyond taking care of our babies! We got multiple updates daily with pictures. She took them on walks, snuggled with them and loved them like they were her own. On our meet and greet, she paid such good attention to instructions and followed them to a T. Her staying overnight in our house with our 2 dogs (one who is deaf) gave us such peace of mind while we were away! We will definitely use her again and highly recommend her for anyone’s pet/s!”
“Heather was wonderful! I felt so good about leaving my baby with her. She was very communicative and kept me on updated on Snowflake's care. She gave her the type of attention you would give your own dog. Will definitely rebook with Heather!!”
“On top of being conscientious and responsive, Mark is just a straight up dog person — he understands them and enjoys being around them. He took great care of my pups during a several day stay while I was out of town. My dogs can be a handful on leash, and he had no problem figuring them out. I definitely recommend him.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have house sat my brother's dog on numerous occasions throughout the time I've been in the Champaign area. I have also house sat cats for a friend back in Indiana. I have also house sat my parents' dog on numerous occasions. Walking dogs of various sizes is no trouble for me, and I honestly just love animals in general. I love to play with them, talk to them, and love on them as if they're my own if people let me! As of right now, I have plenty of time to play with your pets! Unless I have prior commitments, I am unlikely to refuse a request. I grew up with dogs, and I've house sat cats before, as I've mentioned. They always had food, water, playtime, and plenty of love and attention as they saw fit. I treat others' pets as if they're my own
“Rebecca stayed with our pug Cookie for a couple of days while we were out of town. She was very communicative and kept us informed of things while we were away. She does an excellent job with her care and I will happily have her back for future stays. Thank you Rebecca!”
About: Hi! I’m Bailey — I’ve worked in the vet field my entire career and am studying to become a veterinarian. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters and love all animals! With my experience and care, your pets will be in great hands for pet sitting. I am currently only working part time and have tons of time on my hands my main focus will be caring for pets and college! I have three cats and a snake myself, I have grown up with dogs, cats, reptiles, you name it. Caring for pets will always be my priority!
About: I grew up in Singapore and had the good fortune of being surrounded by family pets, be it either my grandparents' 5 German Shepherds or my other grandparents' English Pointer and German Shepherd. In 2005, I was blessed with Charlie, our Golden Labrador, who we got as a 3-month old puppy from New Zealand and he is my brother from another mother. After High School, I was enlisted in the Singapore Armed Forces as a Platoon Commander under Special Operations Task Force from 2011 to 2013 and got the opportunity to train and work with canine units as well. Following that, I moved to the US to do my Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering (2017) and Master's in Bioengineering and Biomedical Engineering (2022), here at UIUC. Since 2019, I have been the Head of Mechanical and Product Development associated with the Cancer Center at Illinois, located at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology. I normally work 9:30 AM-6 PM M-F and come home from 1-2 pm to take dogs out for a walk and playtime, but am able to easily accommodate your loved ones anytime during the week. I live in an apartment complex that has a huge middle courtyard. I am more than happy to take the puppers out for walks/runs as well.
About: I have been taking care of my own and others dogs since I was around 8 years old. I really enjoy spending time with and caring for pets. I have also shortly volunteered at a few animal shelters in the past. I am a full time student at UIUC and pet care fits into my weekly schedule as my job and passion whenever I can be of service. In my own home I have a safe environment and a large fenced yard. I prioritize safety and happiness for the pet and satisfaction for the owner.
“Breonna was fantastic! She is polite and understanding of pets/owner needs. I really appreciated her level of communication throughout her stay. Will definitely request next time.”
“Carli took amazing care of our dogs and cat. She was very flexible with us given the somewhat short notice of our request, very good at staying in touch, and sent plenty of pictures of the kids! They loved having her over to keep them company. We would happily recommend her services and will definitely be coming to her first in the future!”
About: I'm new to the pet sitting world but I make up my lack of experience with enthusiasm! I have had fish and dogs before and too cats to count. I have experience researching and taking care of these animals for my self and am happy to offer that help to whoever needs it :). I am a college student so I would be looking for part time/one time jobs during the school year but full time during the summer. I hope I can meet your furry friend soon! I let the pet sniff me and warm up to me while also giving them space. Having a stranger in your home can be disorienting so I understand the sudden anxiety.
“Heather was willing to house sit for us during the crazy weather and was flexible when we lost power for awhile. We were so appreciative to have her watching our pups while we were out of town. They were well cared for and happy when we got home!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 190 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Leverett. 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 Leverett 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 Leverett 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 Leverett 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.
