“Amy was amazing! We appreciated her sending the visit updates and pictures. That made us feel at ease being away for a few days. We also have an older cat that needs lots of special attention. We felt comfortable knowing our sweet babies were being taken care of.”
“Savannah was so thoughtful and kind our family will 100% be using her services again. Our dog max has heart worms and she administered his meds, gave him so much love and attention and notified me of any strange behaviors and offered more help if we needed. Our family is thankful for her kind spirit and dedication to her work. She was great with our hyper puppy and house cat as well! If you’re in the market for a pet sitter, she’s your girl!”

About: I enjoy walks and being outdoors as much as any dog. I also enjoy a slower pace and can provide care and companionship to your fur friend who might not be as active. Full-time student at LSU. My schedule allows flexibility to provide services that can meet your pet's needs. I share my affection evenly between all the fur friends and will love to meet yours! My services will be provided in clients home since mine is only pet-proofed for my little guy. Detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated so I know first hand the do's and don'ts of your home and how best to care for your fur friend!
About: I’ve been a dog dad for 6+ years and have taken care of pets for neighbors, teachers, and friends for years, from walking and feeding to live-in care. I’m a college instructor on break between semesters so my schedule is flexible with lots of availability for all your pet care needs, whether one time walking or in home stays. I have a friendly corgi named Rufus who loves other dogs and we live in a house near the Garden District with an unfenced yard where I walk him around the neighborhood twice daily.
“Alicia was great! She took wonderful care of my two cats and sent me plenty of pictures. She also took the time to meet beforehand so that we both felt comfortable, which I really appreciated. Alicia was kind and professional and I highly recommend her!”

Ozzie loved her and I know he would love for her to drop in again if I need it. Hannah was so kind and communicated well! 10/10 recommend will definitely book again in the future!”
About: I am a Least intrusive minimally aversive dog trainer, and AKC evaluator. I foster with multiple rescues. I have experience working with all types of dogs. I am very knowledgeable on dog body language, behavior, and genetics. You can also visit us on instagram for pictures of past and current boarding pups, and don’t forget to send us a message on Instagram with the word “Rover” to unlock an exclusive discount Avalon.k9s I have a flexible schedule as I work for myself, I spend my free time training dogs, and when I’m busy I’m also training dogs. I have a whole room in my house dedicated to dogs, but they’re welcome anywhere in the house, I have a fenced in yard and I’m located close to some lakes. I have tons of unique enrichment opportunities for your pups, including things like snuffle mats, puzzles, kongs, and more. My house is puppy proofed, because I often foster and train dogs! Being a multiple dog household I cannot board any dog with same sex aggression, human aggression, or idiopathic aggression, and reactive dogs will be a case by case basis, However, being a trainer I am more than open to help families work through these issues. Please let me know of any medical conditions or allergies! I like to use treats when working with dogs, so I recommend bringing some yummy high value treats so their tummy doesn’t get upset! If you are interested in dog training and would like to do a Board & Train contact me for more details! I also offer training packages during boarding, so if you want your pup to work on some basic obedience feel free to ask for more info!
“Kaylee is the best! She came over to let out my shady with just a one hour notice and she leaves such detailed overviews, and sends so many photos! Shady loves her and is always happy when she comes for a visit.”
About: I have over a year of experience in animal daycare and/or kennel settings, and can quickly assess a pet's body language and accomodate for discomfort or unique needs. I have a part time job Monday through Wednesday, but I can make myself available with enough planning ahead, and usually have afternoons and evenings free. I need at least two day's notice for weekends. I follow client's intructions to the letter when caring for pets at their home. When needed (e.g. for brachycephalic dogs) I will ask for a safe harness or collar option to avoid restricted breathing.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, ferrets, snakes, you name it. Proven ability to provide the proper care for the pets as stated by family, friends, and neighbors! I have a flexible schedule as I work and am in school only part time. I love spending my free time with pets, it is my passion! It depends on the service you are signing up for but I have an acre of land with a fenced in yard that the pets can roam on. I also have a two story roomy house they will have access to!
About: I’ve had and loved dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs (and a cat). My girl is a perfect playmate to all, and my guy is a senior who’s living his best life laying on the couch. I (and my fiancè) have taken in dogs/cats off the street, fostered, and rescued/adopted, so I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and demeanors. I’m a teacher who will be off all summer, so I can be with your pet as much as needed! I’d love to provide some stand-in TLC to your pet while they eagerly await your return :) I have a large backyard, plenty of toys, and a lot of love to give to your pet! I’m a middle school teacher who’s currently off for spring break and will be off for the whole summer, so I’m freely available to meet you and your pet’s needs. I can accommodate early mornings, mid-day check-ins, late nights; whatever you need! I have a spacious house with a large fenced yard. I have two dogs, one of which will lay around 24/7, while the other is sweet, playful, energetic and always looking for friends to play with! If needed, I can kennel your pet or give them the spare room if they need a quiet place to relax alone. If caring for your pet in your house, you can be assured that I will be thorough in providing them with some TLC while you’re away! I love learning about the little quirks that pets can have and will be attentive and detailed in my care for them to make sure they always feel at ease.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Baton Rouge on Rover is $11.1 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 249 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Baton Rouge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Baton Rouge. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% 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.
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.
