“Took Great care of my dog while providing constant updates. She also made him homemade treats from scratch. Definitely will leave my dog with her family again he enjoyed his stay and made friends.”

“MaryKathryn was such a great petsitter for Cora. She was very responsive and super friendly. She really cared for Cora the way that Cora needed. Cora can be anxious in new spaces and with new people but she was very comfortable and content staying in their home. I highly recommend and will be using them in the future! Thank you!”

About: Hi there! I'm Leila, and I've been passionate about caring for dogs since childhood. Growing up in a home filled with at least two dogs at any given time (sometimes as many as four!), I've developed a deep understanding of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it's a playful puppy or a gentle senior, I've got the experience to cater to their unique needs. What truly sets me apart as a pet sitter is my ability to offer continuous companionship, thanks to my remote work setup. Your furry companion will never experience loneliness or neglect while you're away. I'm fully committed to ensuring your pet feels loved, secure, and content in your absence. My services go beyond basic care. I also provide specialized assistance such as puppy training and senior dog care. I recognize the significance of positive reinforcement and patience with young dogs, and I'm well-versed in the extra care and gentleness required for our senior canine friends. My goal is to provide you with complete peace of mind, knowing that your beloved family member is in the best hands possible. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend soon! As a remote worker, I can seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. This means I can prioritize your pet's needs as required, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve. Whether it's daily walks, feeding times, or simply providing companionship, I adapt my schedule to accommodate your pet's unique requirements. I'm committed to providing personalized care tailored to your pet's needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and content in their environment. I prioritize maintaining their familiar routine and following any specific instructions you've provided. By keeping your pet in their own space, I aim to minimize stress and ensure they receive the highest level of care. Please note that, at this time, I exclusively offer pet-sitting services in your home, ensuring your pet's comfort and security while you're away.
“Our pups were so well taken care of. We really felt that they were happy there. We loved seeing the pictures she sent as well. We would definitely recommend her!”

“I was very satisfied with my dog Lily staying with Rhonda while we were out of town for the weekend. It has been several years since we have used Rover, so we were not sure what to expect. Lily had a blast playing with the other dogs and getting cuddles from Rhonda. We were provided several photos throughout the day to keep our minds at ease while we were gone.”

“Kristynah is the best sitter we have ever had! She always sends the cutest updates and I never have to worry when she is watching our pup. She has been kind enough to be flexible when things have come up and she communicates extremely well. Our dog loves going here!!!”
“Nicole is amazing! She gave my puppy plenty of treats/play, helped rest her because of her joint issues, and even gave her a bath the day I got home. I received a healthy and happy pupper; we will definitely be booking with Nicole again!”

“Karen was absolutely fantastic in taking care of our pup! She provided great updates and pictures of our pup throughout her stay, had a spacious and lovely backyard for playing and sunbathing, and gave us some flexibility on day of pick-up. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter”

“Reiniza was so sweet with Gus and gave tons of updates. He absolutely loved his time with her and her family while we were on a trip and was utterly spoiled. It was so nice knowing he was in good hands”

“Dane and Amber are incredible hosts! Our dogs had an amazing time with them — it’s clear they were well cared for and had lots of fun. They’re professional, reliable, and truly passionate about what they do. You can absolutely trust them with your pets. We’re so grateful to have found such a great Rover family!”

“Wendy was awesome taking care of our pup on short notice! She was very accommodating to our schedule and made logistics easy. It was clear Ollie felt right at home. Highly recommend!”

“Katherine was awesome! She took my dog on walks and sent lots of photos! She looked so happy and cozy in all the photos and was very well taken care of. Her pups are really sweet as well! Would definitely recommend!”

“Cherry was wonderful with our Roscoe! She was available last minute and spoiled us (and him!) with walks and snuggles and we got tons of photos during his stay! Will absolutely book again when the need arises!”

“omg! Julie was AMAZING!!!! I cannot thank her enough for taking such good care of my pup, Koda. This was my first time using rover, and I was really nervous because I have only ever left Koda with close family or friends. She assured me that Koda would be in good hands and he seemed comfortable with her from the start. He can be anxious when in a new place, but he settled in very quickly. She was accommodating, flexible, and best of all she provided lots of updates and pictures, and was very attentive to our messages replying within minutes. Koda loved to follow her and her sweet grandkids around the house and snuggle up on the couch (that’s a dachshund for you!) 😂 If you are feeling anxious about Rover, definitely consider using Julie!! I will be rebooking Julie for future dog sitting needs. THANK YOU!”


“Melanie is amazing! Not only does she provide photos throughout the day, but she is genuinely interested in your pet’s health and happiness. She made a great recommendation to help get our pup back to eating, after struggling for months to eat regularly. I highly recommend!”

North Central dog parents share their Rover experiences
Ben watched our dogs, Watson and Maggie, for two weeks and did an excellent job. One of our dogs needed medication during the stay, and Ben handled it without any issues. He kept us updated regularly with photos and was always easy to communicate with, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated how willing he was to do whatever our dogs needed to feel comfortable and cared for. A funny bonus from their stay is that our dogs are now completely comfortable using stairs. Watson used to be very hesitant to go upstairs, and now both dogs go up and down on their own all the time — something they never did before. Clearly they felt right at home with Ben. We’d definitely trust him to watch Watson and Maggie again and highly recommend him to others.

Highly recommend!! Katherine took amazing care of our pups, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They had so much fun during their stay and loved playing with Stella - it was clear they were comfortable and happy the whole time! Katherine kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos. You can tell she genuinely cares and treats your dogs like her own. We will definitely be booking again!

Mrs. Rhonda was amazing with our dog bella. We went on vacation for 7 days and she always made sure to send me pics of bella and keep me updated. This was our first time using rover and leaving bella with anyone that long and im so glad we picked Mrs. Rhonda to watch bella for us, I would def recommend her!!🤗

Jason is our best sitter we've ever had for our pups. This last time he took care of our little Annie. She has a history of seizures and he gave her her medication and no seizures noted. He took her for walks, and she is always happy to see him when she comes. You can feel confident by having Jason take care of your pups while you're away.

Brenda is HANDS DOWN the BEST ROVER! Like award worthy... lol. I cannot express this enough. I've had to use a lot of different rovers because I move around a lot and travel sporadically for work. Since she has a pup and cat, she took the time to meet up a few days before to test the waters - while we chatted, Millie got to roam and sniff around, and I was able watch those initial jitters go away and see that she felt comfortable... and comfy enough to romp around with her pup Sebastian. Seeing Millie act like herself in Brenda's home, Brenda's home and backyard 😄 and Brenda's caring nature is why I booked with her. Obviously everyone likes photos of their pups, but Brenda would send multiple at a time without me ever having to ask... AND some were of her, Millie, and Sebastian snuggling together. The photos she sent were basically replicates of the thousands I've taken of Millie before so I knew she was having a good time throughout the week. Brenda was incredibly reliable and responsive, and spent the same time and energy with Millie that I do myself.

Heidi goes above and beyond caring for our senior dog Max! She gives him extra care to make him comfortable and at home. We appreciate the updates and pictures seeing how much Max enjoys his time in her home and loves his walks! We know Max is in capable loving hands each time we’re away!

Jose and his family were amazing!!! They gave updates throughout my sweet boys stay and ensured he was a happy camper. They took him on walks, played, and made sure he was a snuggly comfy boy! Usually Bentley is very sad when I pick him up from sitters and this time he was really happy. I can tell he was well cared for and I will not be looking for any new sitters for him! Thank you Jose SO MUCH for loving on my baby

Luis was amazing. I had a death in the family and had to travel home for a funeral last minute. Luis was quick to respond and his prices were exceptionally reasonable. He handled my 125lb Daniff puppy and his anxiety ridden terrorist of a brother with no problems! 10/10 will reuse him in the future!
