“Kayla on short notice agreed to look after my 2 large girls after a short meet & greet. She wanted to genuinely make sure her care was good fit. Prior to watching the dogs she asked a lot of good questions which pointed to her experience and thoughtfulness. Both of my girls enjoyed time with her and Kayla delivered as promised. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a "dog lover" looking after their babies!”
About: I have watched many pets in my lifetime, big and small alike. Cats, dogs, hedgehogs, you name it. No matter the kind, I see the beauty in them all. I love making new fur friends and seeing them happy. I have a cat and dog of my own that I enjoy spending time with. I like to go on walks with my dog around my neighborhood but especially at the Lakefront . I also enjoy hanging out on the couch with her curled up on my lap. I offer plenty of tummy rubs and kisses in addition to fun activities. I will love your pet as if it were my own. And that is a guarantee. I hope to meet you and your lovely pup or kitty soon!
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. I have had small to large dogs with various energy levels and love getting to know what each pet needs to be happy. I am very energetic and enjoy going on walks and runs with dogs. Some people love babies but I love pets! I am comfortable giving any oral medication pets need while under my supervison. My job is to ensure your pet is comfortable and happy when you are not there! I have a car so I am able to accomodate any transportation needs. I live in a spacious two bedroom apartment with my boyfriend and if your pet is comfortable sleeping in the bed that is not a problem at all! I look forward to meeting both you and your pet!
“Gabrielle was always timely and had great communication. She’s very professional and took great care of our cat, and even watered our plants while we were away. We’re very appreciative of how well cared for our cat was while we were away!”
About: I’ve had 2-3 dogs in the house for the entirety of my life. I have dog/house sat for many people in my neighborhood and have always been a reliable helping hand. I’ve taken care of dogs that have strict diet and medication regimines, as well. I have experience with both big and little dogs. I’m a lover of all animals! I’m finishing up my last year of grad school and have recently moved back home to Mandeville! I will be in my clinical rotation until December 11th and will not be available between working hours of 8-4 on weekdays. Please do not request a booking if your needs fall inside of those hours! I can make sure to conform to any house rules you may have in place for me and for your pups. I can easily crate your pet, if needed. I am very attentive and full of energy to play with or take your pups for walks.
About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.
About: I have been raising and caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. From birthing puppies to senior dog care. Who doesn’t love a furry friend! I am a teacher who is off for summer break and would love to fill my summer free time helping your special furry family members! I am currently living in an apartment living so I understand the need for dog walks. I will visit and provide lots of love and attention.
About: I’ve fostered dogs from when I was about 8 until I was about 17, I then adopted my own dog. I’ve pet sat for family, friends and neighbors over the years, and used to work part time at a bording kennel. I have some experience with post surgery care, along with administrating oral medicine. I have experience with lots of different breeds (especially larger breeds) and personality’s. I also have some experience with cats, and have a bird of my own. I also have a little experience with reptiles, and i’m am open to learning anything new. I currently have a part time job, so I have lots of free time. I’m available most hours of most days, just need about a days notice. At this point and time I can’t normally pet sit in my home, as I am currently living with my parents. Sometimes we can take a male dog, my dog gets along with all male dogs, and only females with slow and proper introduction. You can always reach out and I can talk to my parents. Dog must also be kid friendly, as we have my one year old son in the home as well 😊
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same attention I’d give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to provide dependable care and peace of mind for every family I work with.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Abita Springs is $16 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $34 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,109 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Abita Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
