Macy did an EXCEPTIONAL job from the very start! She has a wonderful, kind personally and is very easy to talk to. I could tell right away that she was going to be attentive to our pet's needs by her interactions with him and the questions she asked. She was punctual to the appointments and communicated to us via text on anything she felt may be good for us to know. I loved receiving the ext messages she went and the pictures of our pup while we were gone and knew he was in good hands. The day prior to the pet sit, she visited for a "meet and greet". That was so helpful, and important, because we were able to cover all the details in his profile, ensuring everything she needed to know was documented and that she could refer to it if needed. And in doing this, I realized I had left out some information that would of been good for her to have. So I was able to get his profile updated with this info before the actual first sit took place. There is no doubt in my mind we WILL be having Macy come again soon and she is now our #1 pet sitter! We are totally confident in her ability to watch over him and we know that she will care for him with the love and respect as if he were her own.

This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad I chose Bobbi. First and foremost, she was great with my dog Lula and Lula did very well under her care. Bobbi kindly agreed to meet us ahead of time and and was ver forthcoming and helpful which made for an easy decision. While she stayed here giving plenty of love and attention to Lula, she was very respectful of my home and even watered my plants. Not only did she leave my house neat and clean, she went over and above by stripping bedding and emptying the dishwasher. Not only would I use Bobbi again, but I would also highly recommend her. She was great!!

After having a couple of bad experiences with pet sitters we took a chance and booked Alyssa for a 3 day trip out of town. She was great! Stayed in contact with us with check in’s and lots of pictures. Our 3 dogs are a high maintenance group that can wear you out and she was wonderful to them. We are so happy we have found someone we trust with our crazy little group.

About: I’m a friendly, dependable pet owner who understands just how much pets mean to their people. I am the primary caretaker of my own dog, Freddy, he’s 3 years old with lots of energy, friendly with other dogs and loves people. I regularly care for my sisters dog and 2 cats while she is out of town, maintaining their normal routines and care. I live in a condo in Mandeville which means I have become extremely familiar with the dog parks, walking trails, dog friendly nature areas and state parks. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I treat every animal as if they are my own while providing photo and text updates so you can feel confident while you’re away!😊 Currently I am the office manager for a primary care clinic in Covington, M-F I am available before work, on my lunch break, and after work for drop ins or dog walking. My weekends are always changing and very flexible. I like caring for pets in their own home because that is where they feel most comfortable, following their normal routine and offering attention and companionship. On walks, I focus on your pets safety, energy level, and making sure they are well hydrated.

About: Animals have always been a huge passion of mine, and caring for them brings me an enormous amount of joy. I’ve had animals of all kinds since the day I was born and have experience caring for everything from dogs and cats to livestock and exotic animals. I attended Louisiana Tech University in Ruston from 2022–2026, where I majored in Animal Science with a concentration in Pre-Veterinary Medicine. While at Louisiana Tech, I served as President of the Pre-Vet Club and worked as the club’s publicist. I also worked as a barn hand while in college and grew up working at a horse barn. Before moving to Ruston, I spent a year working as a veterinary assistant at a veterinary clinic. Pet sitting has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, family, and clients in Ruston. I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I recently moved back to my hometown of Mandeville, LA, and now have plenty of time and flexibility for pet sitting. I’m excited to meet new clients and, most importantly, make some new (furry, scaly, feathery, or hoofed) friends along the way! Since moving back home to Mandeville, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am currently taking a break from school, so I am able to work pet sitting and walks into my daily routine without having to rush between other commitments. I’m able to give each pet plenty of attention and can adjust my schedule around their individual routines, including feeding times, walks, medications, and other special care needs. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away! I’m happy to help with almost all of your pet-sitting needs, whether that means a walk around the neighborhood, a quick check-in, or spending more time with your pet while you’re away. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. With my background in Animal Science, experience working as a veterinary assistant, and years of caring for animals, I am prepared to recognize and respond appropriately to many common situations that may arise. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when someone else is caring for your pets. I will always be easy to reach while caring for your pet and am happy to answer questions, provide updates, or address any concerns you may have. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Savannah was our first sitter after my best friend got ill. We were extremely careful in choosing a person to stay in our home. Savannah loved our babies and we have no complaints. We will definitely use Savannah again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Abita Springs

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Abita Springs on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 740 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Abita Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Abita Springs 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 Abita Springs 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 Abita Springs 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Abita Springs. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
