“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!”
“Brian really went out of his way to make sure our huskies had a fabulous time while he was pet sitting for us. Not only did he offer to do a meet and greet beforehand to make sure they would both be comfortable with him staying with them in our home while we went out of town, but he was also very sensitive to and accommodating towards our dogs’ separation anxiety and took extra time with them to make sure they were feeling lots of love and security with us out of the house. He truly is a top notch pet sitter and he also has quite a gift when it comes to photography! The photos he sent us throughout his time watching our pups were studio quality and you can really tell that he has a passion for what he does. Not only did he take wonderful care of our dogs but he also even fed some of the neighborhood birds that usually come visit our backyard throughout the day. His calming demeanor was perfect for our anxious pups and his attention to detail in following all of our instructions both in terms of medication management for the pups and special considerations for the house as a whole were second to none. You can rest assured that if you are looking for a great pet sitter that you need not look any further than Brian!!! You might even find that he goes the extra mile by feeding your neighborhood crows, putting your trash/recycling cans out when he noticed it was collection day, and bringing in packages from outside your front door. Plus he is very neat and tidy which is a huge bonus when he leaves the space looking better than he found it in every room he walks through. Definitely a 5 star rating if I have ever seen one!!!”
“Morgann did such a great job pet sitting while I was out of town! She provided updates every day and followed super specific instructions about feeding and walking my dogs. The house was clean when we got home and my pets seemed super well taken care of. Would definitely hire her as a pet sitter again next time I go on a trip!”
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: 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.
“Thank you Ashlyn for taking such great care of our almost eleven year old Shi Tzu, Coco. She was so happy and didn’t even show any signs of missing us! The daily updates and pictures helped reassure us when we were away and made our trip more enjoyable. Our house was well cared for too. Thank you and we look forward to your next scheduled visit. Mitch and Karen”
“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!!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, guinea pigs, even domesticated raccoons. I’ve dog sat more times than I can count. My dream as a child was to move to Australia and work with Steve Irwin at the Australia Zoo. Always been a lover of animals and consider your fur babies on the same level as your sons and daughters. I will make sure they are in good hands with me always. I’m currently between jobs and only working 10-15 hours per week. It’s a rotating schedule but when I’m not working I’m free from 9 AM-1 AM but am happy to make an exception if need be. I live in an apartment with a fenced in dog park, a beautiful set of land for walking your pet, and when I am watching your pet I am clocked in and locked in and am as present with them as I would be babysitting a toddler. Minimal distractions, only focus on your baby. (Also very selfishly, want to be their favorite sitter!)
“Larrielle was absolutely wonderful with Reggie and Kona! Our boys have their quirks — Reggie with his independence and his medicine routine, Kona with his big personality in a little body — and she handled everything without skipping a beat. Multiple days of overnight stays - she is definitely 5 STARS!!! We came home to two happy, well-loved dogs and a house just as we left it -- if not cleaner. We felt completely at ease the whole trip knowing they were in such good hands with constant photo updates. We'd have her back in a heartbeat!”
“Katelyn has been great with Ares, especially as she’s still getting to know him. She does a wonderful job keeping me informed on his behavior and is very communicative while navigating the challenges that come with the puppy stage. I truly appreciate her effort, patience, and willingness to work with him. Thank you for everything, Katelyn! 🩵”

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'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.
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She was available on short notice on a holiday weekend to watch my cat and my current foster dog (who only has three legs!) Kaitlyn went out of her way to go over the tripod's care and gave me updates on her improving mobility. She took great care of our pets and our home and I would use her again!”
About: I have taking care of my own pets, friends and family for 5 years. I have experienced with puppies and their high energy levels to seniors who just want to chill and relax. Also, I have experienced with pets with anxiety, dogs and cats who just have surgery and are in need of recovery. I can administer their medications, give them their food,water and treats. I can chill on the couch, play, run, go in walks and give them full attention. I love every dog and cat and I treat them with the love and respect they deserve and as if they are were my own. I also feed my dog raw food so I am very comfortable with measuring and handling raw food. My schedule is flexible since I work part time from home and I have full control of my schedule so I can fit in your furry babies needs I have a fenced in yard so my dogs can freely roam around and use the bathroom. I also have two crates with beds and blankets to keep them nice and comfortable. I have a feeding schedule, I give a treat in the morning, some little healthy snacks in the afternoon and I serve dinner at 6pm. I take my dogs out to potty and we go on a walk in the afternoon or we do some running around in the yard or in the back. I try to keep the dogs calm and happy as much as I can.
“This was my first time using Rover. Maddyn was great with my pets. She was easy to communicate with. She sent pictures and updates. She asked questions when needed. She brushed Bear and Dakota, shook out their beds. She swept and bought the mail in everyday. She let me know I received a package that had to be refrigerated and she put it in the fridge for me before I even had a chance to let her know about it. I will use Maddyn again!”
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.
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!

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.
