About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Before getting a dog of my own, I spent a year working with a pet sitting company, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. Now, my dog Miller is my whole world, and I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra love and attention, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have another job however your pets are still my priority. I think we can definitely work something out to make sure your pets get the care they need. My dog Miller is a huge part of my life, and I take his care seriously, from regular exercise and attention to making homemade meals to keep him healthy and happy. I also travel often for work, and Miller comes with me whenever possible, so I understand the importance of routine, companionship, and making pets feel included and comfortable no matter the environment. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home.
“Jennifer was great with my furbabies! With this being the first time leaving them ever, I was a nervous Furman, but Jen made it easier. She sent pics and communicated everyday, and I really appreciated the updates. Will use her the next time I have to take a trip.”
“Danielle was amazing with our fur babies and treated them like her own! Paisley is a pretty vocal dog and whines a lot and when she couldn’t quite figure it out, she reached out which I appreciated since that means she was actually listening to her. Would not hesitate to book with her again if she’s available.”
“Jennifer was excellent! Our Stella is deaf and we treat her like our child. Jennifer went above and beyond with update texts, pictures and provided us such peace of mind. We will definitely be using Jennifer in the future!”
“Lauren was great! My dogs don’t like staying at boarding and having them be able to stay at home where they’re comfortable and know there was someone taking care of them made me much less stressed while I was out of town”
About: We have always had a house full of dogs and at least one cat, but now just me! They will have my undivided attention, promise! I am an empty nester and I can adjust my flexible routine to tailor your animals home life. I want to make the anxiety of you being gone, easy for them. I have a fenced in back yard and I only occasionally have my sons dog Ty who is a gentleman and so sweet so I will be able to play and entertain your fur baby and make them love their time away from you !
“Bobbi was the perfect companion to Mavis and June. Her experience with older dogs was important especially with Mavis who suffers from degenerative myopathy. She is kind, considerate and let us know how they were doing through her stay. it was a great experience for us and allowed us to relax while on vacation!”
About: I am a very active person who thrives to make people and animals happy! I am passionate about staying true to my word and being professional. My schedule is perfect for this dog service. Growing up I always either had a pet cat, dog, or rabbit. I am in a great location close to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I have a whole box of treats. Innocent college student here just trying to make a buck while having a good time. I’d appreciate the opportunity to meet your loved ones! I can’t wait to start making a difference in the dog community and relieving some stress from dog owners while going on vacation or just taking some time to yourself! TREAT YO SELF! Red rover, red rover send your puppies and kitties right over! WOOF WOOF!
About: I have fostered dogs until we found them a forever home. I have dealt with several different kinds of animals. Family and previous babysitting employers have relied on me to take care of their fur babies as well. I own a salon in Mandeville but i don’t have set days so i am available whenever as long as you book a day ahead of time! I do babysit for 3 hours from 2:30-5:30 but i am available after that! I have a fenced yard with two other friendly pups. I can easily crate any dogs if needed. Our yard is big so there is plenty of room to run around.
About: I have had all sorts of animals throughout life. Currently I have a 7 year old German Shepard and a 2 year old miniature poodle. I also have a duck, goose, and about 40 chickens. I am new to this site. Be my first client 💜🐶 I am currently able to sit at your home which is less stressful for your fur babies. I work full time as an elementary teacher and otherwise will be available. A typical day is arriving to work at 7am and home by 4. Mid day visits can be possible with some prior notice depending on location Our pets are part of our family and are treated as such. Animals bring such a sense of purpose to our life. I will treat your pets the same as I treat my own.
“Olivia was fantastic! So grateful she was available last minute when I had car troubles coming home from a trip. She was communicative and followed all instructions. Would definitely have her back!”
About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets and really enjoy connecting with each one’s unique personality. I’m especially drawn to small- to medium-sized dogs who enjoy both adventures—like hikes or trips to the park—and cozy cuddle time at home. I also love social cats who enjoy attention and interaction. In addition, I have some experience caring for fish and ensuring their environments are clean and healthy. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family alongside my “job” for about 13 years and now my schedule is much more flexible so I’m eager to make this my primary focus. My work schedule fully flexible so I’m able to work around the schedule of the pets. I do like to take dogs on little adventures if they’re allowed so if there’s a hike they love, we’ll be sure to prioritize that in our schedule!
About: I was a kennel worker for 2 years, providing daily care for dogs of various temperaments. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning and sanitizing kennels, supervising playtime, administering medications as directed, and monitoring health and behavior. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy. I make time each day for walks, feedings, and plenty of attention to ensure every pet feels safe and happy. I care for pets as if they are my own. I follow their usual routine closely and send regular updates to stay connected with owners while they are away.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.
“Kasha was absolutely amazing! My boys loved her so very much. I ended up coming home earlier than expected and Kasha was taking the boys on a walk when I got there. I expected them to freak out seeing me… nope they were happy and content being with her. She sent me pictures of the boys, kept me updated, even cleaned my camper for me! I highly recommend Kasha and will definitely be having her help me with my boys again in the future!!”
About: Hi! My name is Brion. (Bree-ahn) I’m a 32 year old female. I’ve always had some sort of pet in my life. I currently have a 1 y/o male golden doodle who is not spayed. I also have a 6 y/o daughter who absolutely adores animals. On weekends my daughter and I would love nothing more than a play buddy. We like taking walks outside and getting fresh air when needed. We live in a fenced home with a backyard, front yard, & a park. So there’s plenty of space for activities and energy. I also have a large cage of my own if needed.
“The dogs love Grady and we love him. Always takes care of the house and the pups the way we would take care of them. We feel lucky to have him be our pet sitter!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Avery Estates
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 459 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Avery Estates. 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 Avery Estates 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 Avery Estates 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 Avery Estates 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.

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.
