“Melanie was fantastic with our Australian shepherd. She provided many updates throughout her stay, making us feel reassured he was in good hands. She followed our instructions and gave him lots of love. Will definitely have her sit him again!”
“Ana is one of the best sitters we’ve ever had! (And we’ve used Rover for years) She communicated consistently, followed directions, and loved on our girl like she was her own! We will 100% be using her again! Thanks so much Ana!”
About: My experience includes dog walking, overnight pet sitting, feeding schedules, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I also have experience for bearded dragons and other reptiles, including feeding, habitat care, and handling routines. As a pet owner myself with both a dog and a lizard, I understand how important it is to give pets patience, attention, and proper care. I’m reliable, responsible, and able to carefully follow any instructions to make sure every pet gets the best care possible. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I had just graduated and will have a very open and flexible availability. Since I’ll have extra free time, I’m able to be dependable, responsive, and give pets lots of attention and care throughout the day. I regularly walk and care for my own dog, and spending so much time with him has definitely made me his favorite person in the house.
About: Fun loving dog mama experienced with puppy to senior dogs. Current fur babies include American Bulldog/boxer senior dog and Siberian Husky 3 year old pup. Looking forward to spoiling your fur babies!! I am available anytime day or night for walks or cuddles or to pet sit while you are away in the comfort of your own home. I’m available to pet sit in your home and will walk and feed your pup daily and follow the same routine they are used to.
“A very caring and reliable pet sitter. Laura has become a second mom to our Chloe. She consistently stayed in contact through our time away with updated pictures and info on their daily activities. It helps knowing that your “babies” are happy, healthy and with a genuine loving person while you are away. Thank you Laura!!!”
“This was the first time we ha Elizabeth watch our pup. Although it was only an overnight stay, our pup seems happy, all directions were followed, and she left the house with everything neat and clean. I would definitely give her a 👍thumbs up!”
About: I’m a caring, responsible, and patient pet sitter who truly loves animals. I have experience taking care of pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care at the pet owner’s home. I am available on weekdays and weekends for walks, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I provide care in the pet owner’s home and follow their instructions carefully. I make sure pets are safe, comfortable, supervised, and treated with love and respect at all times.
About: I’m reliable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages, giving you peace of mind throughout your trip. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they get the attention they deserve. I’m also patient with puppies who are still learning routines and gentle with senior dogs who may need extra care, slower walks, or medication reminders. My goal is for both you and your dog to have a stress-free, positive experience from start to finish. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with dogs. I plan my schedule to ensure every pet gets plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, feeding, and bathroom breaks on time. I don’t believe in just stopping by—I make sure each dog feels comfortable, cared for, and gets quality interaction. I closely supervise pets during walks and playtime, make sure they always have fresh water, and keep doors, gates, and leashes secure to prevent accidents or escapes. I’ll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel loved and cared for, while making the experience as worry-free as possible for you.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs, cats, reptiles you name it. I am an animal lover through and through! I am very experienced in behavioral therapy so training puppies or just training in general is a breeze! I am very comfortable with reactive dogs and sensitive kitties as well. Working through triggers and building positive associations through reinforcement is my passion. My schedule is very flexible, I have plenty of time to ensure pets are properly taken care of and most of all happy! I work at an exotic animal vet and assist with caring for a multitude of animals in various health stages. I am happy to follow any instructions given and my biggest concern is that the pets under my care are not only safe, but happy and well cared for in all aspects.
About: I've loved animal friends from a very young age. I can't remember a time that I didn't have one at home. I've had dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, lizards and sugar gliders. I love meeting new fur friends. I have experience sitting for friends and family and I also have two happy, friendly pups. I want to dedicate my time to your pet and your satisfaction. I can easily adjust my schedule when necessary and can accommodate even for very late or very early times. I can pet sit, go on walks and provide plenty of care, attention and play time for your pet. I can easily accommodate multiple pets, very large dogs, puppies and pets with minimum or no training.
“Kate was amazing! Her introduction a week prior to our needing her was key. She is chill, honest, reliable and so loving! I’m pretty sure our Forty loves her more now! I should also mention she watched our house as well and left it spotless! Mad respect! We will be using Kate again! Thank you so much Kate!”
About: I've owned animals my whole life, both cats and dogs. I love them like my own children. I have some experience with giving medication to dogs I'm typically available all day. I do not work from home due to carpeting and my pets but taking care of them in your space for hours or a few days is absolutely fine, I am flexible and can work with any schedule. I will not be doing home stays at my house due to my pets and respecting my roommates space. I always keep the space I am sitting in clean and free of non pet friendly items. Safety and comfort for furry friends is the most important.
About: I grew up with a cat and a more than a few dogs in my family since I was really young, but in the past 5 years of my life I've taken a liking to really understanding dogs and the care and love they need! I rescued Keto in August 2022 and ever since then I have been motivated to give him and any pets in my life all the love they deserve, I hope you can rely on me for any kind of care needed for your fur baby, small or large! I'm here to accommodate for whatever you need. I am always seeking anyone who would like to give me some more experience with their animals so I can have the best knowledge with any type of care. I'm currently working full time with fluctuating hours whether its morning mid-day or night, however, I am more than willing to help out with pets around my schedule! my daily routine with Keto is easy and laid back and definitely allows me to fit more pet care in around my schedule! I live on the second floor of my apartment, but have easy access to grass and lots of land for dogs to be let outside with my supervision. I also take my dog to a nearby park if that's something you are comfortable with me doing with your pups! I can also offer lots of play time and snuggles too!
“Sarah was the best dog/house sitter ever! She took such great care of our babies and sent us photos and videos all the time. She had great communication, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the process! It was my first time using rover so I was a little nervous but the second I met Sarah and we did a meet and greet I was no longer nervous. Our two dogs loved her so much! If you are looking for someone on rover I highly recommend Sarah. When I need a dog sitter moving forward I will be contacting Sarah again!”
“Tonya did such a great job taking care of our pup! She gave him lots of love and sent plenty of cute pictures and videos to help us feel connected while we were abroad. She also followed our two pages worth of tips to help him maintain his schedule. We already booked her again!”
“Kali was wonderful with Ares! She arrived on time, took him on several walks and to the dog park, and made sure he ate and stayed active with a couple naps in between. She sent multiple updates throughout the day, keeping me informed the whole time. Overall, a great experience and we truly appreciate her care! 🩵”
About: Friends and family members have always trusted me with their pets from spending the day with them to just going to feed them a couple times a day. I worked at a doggy daycare for some time helping with outside time, making sure everyone was being fed on time, entertaining the dogs, and providing extra cuddles! I am currently working morning weekends at another job and starting sonography school in November. Therefore I am pretty available during the week for your furbaby's needs! I make sure I follow instructions very carefully so that your furbaby is always happy. I prefer to be provided with a detailed summary of what you expect of me and how I can make sure your pet is comfortable and well taken care of.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Saint Leo
Asja was absolutely incredible taking care of our two cats, Diesel and Nyx, and our English bulldog, Harley, while we were away in Europe. During her stay, Harley developed anxiety that caused her to get sick, but Asja’s attentiveness saved the day. She noticed right away that Harley was not feeling well, kept us fully informed with clear communication despite the distance, and handled taking her to the vet seamlessly. She stuck directly to the vet treatment plan and managed giving Harley her new medications without any issue. On top of managing Harley’s health, Asja went completely above and beyond when Harley had a few carpet accidents. She brought her own carpet cleaner and cleaned everything up so thoroughly that when we walked through the door, the house was spotless. It literally looked like no one had even been there. Being all the way in Europe could have been stressful, but we had zero stress about our animals because of how wonderful Asja was. If you need a sitter who is observant, reliable, communicative, and will care for your pets like her own, book Asja. We could not have asked for better care and will definitely be booking her again!
Eden was a great sitter for our long weekend away! Even on a slightly short notice, we felt comfortable leaving our girl in her hands & knew she would be well taken care of. Sad that she was only here for her college break, but would happily use her again if it ever aligned again in the future!

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