This was our first time using Rover and I can’t say enough about how pleased we were to come home to see Sim sleeping on the sofa with Tegan! It’s good to know that he was able to relax with Tegan because he has a lot of separation anxiety since losing his brother. I can’t recommend Tegan enough! We will definitely be using her again.

About: I've grown up with many types of pets throughout my entire life. I love animals and have been a volunteer at Northshore Humane Society since 2020, where I have experience walking, playing with, cleaning after, and even assisting in veterinary care with dogs. I especially love teaching new tricks and playing with them. I also have experience with reptiles and cats. I currently have a 9-year-old border collie and take him on walks and play with him for hours every day. He's a very active dog and I enjoy being active with him, as well as grooming him and interacting with him through any and all means. I love all dogs, but my favorite breed is the doberman! I also have a black cat named Breezepelt (named after my favorite book character), and a mexican black kingsnake named Asclepius! How I care for your pet depends on the specific needs and wants of the pet and what you as the owner would like. If I am house sitting, I am willing to play with, take outside, and walk with your pet as much as is desired. I have both leads and retractable leashes if you would like me to use my own. I am comfortable with crating if so desired. I will be keeping a constant eye on your pet and will ensure their safety to the upmost degree.

About: Worked with animals in both actual pet businesses and in home services with clients.daycare,walks,medications,food, professional cleaning with pets,documentation of charts and so on since 16 both cats and dogs. Currently a stay at home mom needing to get back to work.but because I homeschool my little boy and have lots of experience with animals,even ones outside of workplaces such as rescuing squirrels,racoons,etc as well as being a go to person that helps with rehoming pets safely,birds,cats,dogs etc for friends and family I figured rover would be perfect since I have so much time of the day free to dedicate to the animals and a big yard that will be fenced at some point (: I always handle the dog walks,baths if ever needed,and dog daycare as I would at any past employment.so the care would be everything unless stated otherwise not needed example morning feeding not needed if you express you feed before you drop off,but in general offer everything from walk,feeding,meds,cleaning the environment around the animals,lots of playtime,laundry if needed for toys,bedding, or whatever belongings dog brings,documentation of the dogs day of basic things,photo and video updates,or anything you would like to request that's doable (:

About: I have 4 well taken care of cats at home right now. In my youth, I had a Pomeranian named Mufasa that was equally adored. My parents took over raising him when I left home and sent updates regularly. He has since passed away and ascended the rainbow 🌈. I am interested in taking care of other animals while in California. Since Mufasa, I have taken care of my small fleet of cats, all with their own personalities, and even two flocks of chickens over an 8 year period. I am interested in all animals and can adjust to accommodate any of their needs. ❤️ I’m currently working as an event coordinator in El Segundo. The event that I’m working is not starting for another month so I’m looking to spend time doing something that I love which is taking care of animals. I cannot host right now, as I am living in apartments that are too small to accommodate other animals, but I treat others environment as I would my own. With respect.

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: 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 currently work at St. Tammany Parish Hospital 4 days a week from 8-4, but I have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends! 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: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them goes beyond just “watching dogs” for me! I spent nearly a year working at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, as well as energy levels-from playful 4 month old puppies to sweet senior dogs who just need a little extra patience and care. I grew up around dachshunds and dobermans my whole life, and I now have my own Dalmatian that I rescued from illegal breeding. I understand both high-energy breeds and animals with unique personalities. My experience in pet sitting, dog behavior, proper socialization, and enrichment allows me to provide care that is attentive, structured, and tailored to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, mental stimulation, or simply a calm and restful environment, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for and loved while you are away. As a college student out for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Aside from a job commitment one weekend a month, my availability is open for almost anything-walks, drop-ins, and daycare! Your pets comfort and safety are always my #1 priority. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming home where your dog can feel right at home. I make sure they have both companionship and personal space when needed. I have a room in my home with a tall baby gate dedicated for dogs where they can decompress, and nothing will bother them if they want their own space. I also have a very playful and friendly Dalmatian, Siggy, who loves having company around the house. I will always supervise if Siggy would be around your dog, including a safe and proper introduction of the two dogs and continuously watching them when they would be playing.

My dogs: Charley, black lab, Remy,(mix), and Jax (Daschund mix). I am also a volunteer at Northshore Humane Society, Exercise relieves anxiety for your pet while you are on vacation or having a late work day.

I will Be able to visit up to three times a day. Walks are an extra 16.00 charge, but playtime and hugs are always free!

About: Hi, I’m Kenzie! 🐶 I am a huge dog lover and actually have a 2 yr old Golden Retriever named Mango who is my best boy. I spend a lot of time outside—walking, playing fetch with Mango, biking, hanging in the backyard, or chillin at the lakefront—and I love bringing other dogs along for the fun. I’ve helped take care of family and friends’ dogs over the years, and I also used to work at an animal hospital, so I’m comfortable with basics like feeding, walks, baths, and nail trims. If you need someone to stop by, give your dog some company and love, or take them on a walk, I’ll make sure they’re cared for and happy while you’re away! 🫶 I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule so it is easy for me to check on them at pretty much anytime of the day! I mainly do drop-in visits and or walks. During drop-in visits I feed them, let them out for fresh air and to potty, and have lots of playtime.

About: I have had almost a decade of experience with animals that have severe anxiety. I know how to approach any animal. Animals sense energy and I feel that I am able to provide great energy throughout them being in my care. I currently work “full time,” but I do have an off day and time off throughout the day to walk those fur babies or spend time! I can do in home visits if you let me know in advance and I am able to walk any time of night…days vary, but I can work around anything 24/7. I have before.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Abita Springs on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,093 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Abita Springs. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Abita Springs stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% 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.

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.
