“Melanie was wonderful with Kuma and our home. She was great at communicating and sent adorable pics of him, made sure he had a wonderful time on walks with her and got all of the belly rubs! lol Thanks again, Melanie! ☺️”
“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!”
“As newcomers to the area, we were nervous about leaving our dogs with someone we didn’t know. Ashley put our minds at ease by sending regular updates and photos so we knew they were in great hands. When a few severe thunderstorms stressed one of our dogs, she reached out right away, asked all the right questions about how we normally would handle it and made sure our pup was as comfortable as possible. We appreciated her thoughtful communication and care she gave our dogs!”
“Ashlyn is the BEST!!! She is so compassionate, treats our pets like her own and goes above and beyond to take care of them while we are gone. 10/10 recommend Ashlyn to anyone that considers their pets family. We finally get to go on vacations now that we have the dogsitter of our dreams!”
About: I have 5 years experience in the animal field professionally. I have learned animal behavior and signs, I have learned patience and understanding, how to build a bond, and so much more. I am currently working 4 days a week. I have three days a week I can fit your pet care needs into schedule. I can also possibly schedule times around my job the other 4 days as I work a swing shift. I have two separate fences on my property and a secured dog room that leads to the year fencing area with AC, dog bed, access in and out, fan, access to water at all times inside with an automatic water bowl outside. I have a friendly, Neutered male Golden Retriever to keep them company if preferred, or there is plenty of space to keep them separate. None smoking and no small children. For your home visits, I would respect your space and rules as well as accommodate all your needs and request a n your home.
“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: 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.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 13, helping my family with our own dog. We also sometimes babysit dogs and cats for friends, so I’ve gained experience with pets of different sizes and personalities. I currently have a 1-year-old dog, so I’m used to feeding, walking, playing, and giving lots of attention. I love spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for!! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends, which allows me to spend quality time caring for pets while also balancing school work! I split my time between Rhode Island and Florida — I’m in Florida during the school year for college and back home in Rhode Island for breaks and summers. I always keep my availability up to date, so you’ll know exactly where I am and when. I make sure pets are safe, fed, and happy. I follow any instructions the owner gives, take dogs for walks, provide playtime, and give lots of attention and affection. I also clean up after them, restock water and food, and make sure they feel comfortable whether I’m at their home or caring for them in mine.
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.
“Sarah took care of my dog Leo while I was traveling, and I truly could not have asked for a better experience. She stayed overnight and made sure Leo was comfortable, safe, and well cared for the entire time. It was very clear that she genuinely cared about him and made sure he received plenty of attention and love. Knowing Leo was in such good hands gave me real peace of mind while I was away. Sarah is reliable, trustworthy, and clearly wonderful with animals. I’m incredibly grateful for the care she gave my fur baby and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.”
“We’re so grateful for the care and love Landis shows in all he does to care for our boy Luthor. From fun activities to stimulate his mind to adventures outside we always know Luthor is in the best hands. Landis isn’t just caring and thoughtful, he is professional, dependable, honest and committed. Our house is always in better shape than we left it and Luthor is always happy and content. I am so thankful for all he does.”
About: I've always loved animals. My books growing up consisted of every dog and cat breed you could think of and I watched All Dog's Go to Heaven to the point I could recite it. I've had dogs and cats my whole life and feel at home caring for them. Growing up you would find me befriending and feeding the strays. I understand the importance of building trust, remaining calm, and providing a soothing and loving environment. I work part-time and mostly set my own hours. If given time I'm advance I can easily accommodate to schedules. Furthermore I lead a fairly active lifestyle and enjoy walking outdoors. First thing I ensure is to not disrupt the pets routine whether its feeding, walking, or any other discipline. I like to be on the same page with the owner to minimize stress and keep their loved pet as calm as possible.
“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! 🩵”
“Alicia was amazing. I am definitely going to have her take care of my girls again. Made the girls feel as if they were part of her family. You can really see how loving my girls were towards her and her family.”
About: Hi there! I am currently working from home and figured I could really enjoy some time with some pups in the meantime. Some weekends I travel to see family and will actually use rover to look for help with my pups. My partner and I share our rover account too. Anyways, I am home all day, and am ready to help take care of your pups! Throughout my childhood to teenage years I grew up with dogs and other pets. That being said, I have a great deal of experience with pets from small to extra large. I am ready and eager to get the job done for you! Please feel free to reach out to me. Looking forward to give your loved one the attention they deserve. I currently work for rover full time. I am flexible and can give your best friends the attention they deserve and need. I am willing to go the extra mile to ensure you know that your dog is in good hands! I have extra large dog homes here in my house, but I am also open to allowing your pup to roam in my home if they are potty trained. Of course, I also know the best routes to walk the dogs to ensure they are safe and enjoy their walks regularly.
“Stefanie was incredible! She sent me pictures of everything from the food to ensure she gave the right amounts, to the walks she took the dogs on to them having fun at the house together. It was so comforting to know she was there with my pups exactly as she said she would be! She truly loved spending time with them and i could tell . I have a very shy pup and she was able to get him out of his shell and on a walk with him which many people can’t do! I will 100% be calling Stefanie again! I hope she never leaves! 😍”
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!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Saint Leo is $50

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 November 2026. Most bookings cost between $56 and $56 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
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 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 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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saint Leo. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
