About: Hi! I’m Leah, and I’ve been around animals my entire life, with 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals. I have dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. I grew up with parents who are veterinarians, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, behavior, and recognizing when something may not be quite right. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m currently taking real estate classes, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for pet care throughout the day. I’m able to work dog walking and pet sitting into my schedule easily, and I enjoy having a job that keeps me active while allowing me to continue working toward my career goals. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure their pets are comfortable, safe, and getting plenty of attention. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. With my 20 years of experience around animals and growing up with veterinarian parents, I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, ages, and needs.

Leah was fantastic, flexible, and extremely responsible. She was able to quickly accommodate an earlier visit request and provide us details about the visit. Will definitely be contacting her in the future. She bonded with Duke the very first day she met him and then they had a great time while we were away. Highly recommend.
Juliana took great care of my dog for a week. She followed our instructions closely, was very on time for every visit, and even checked our mailbox as requested. She kept my dog good company, made sure he got regular exercise and walks, and he was fed and played with consistently. Would book again!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Marlborough 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!
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.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
