“Alayja truly exceeded my expectations. Despite the short notice, she provided exceptional care for my dog, treating him as if he were her own. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals put me at ease. I am incredibly grateful for her outstanding service and will definitely be booking with her again in the future.”
“Savannah took in my dog on short notice, was very thoughtful to make sure to accommodate for special needs. Cricket looked very relaxed when I picked her up. Thank you Savannah!”
“Keith was awesome! Only second time leaving our 3 YO Jack Russell “Barney” with anyone, first time with a stranger. He has always slept with us ( I know I Know) and I wasn’t sure how that would work out. Turns out Barney enjoyed sleeping with Keith’s pack and made it through the night. We will definitely board with Keith again.”
“This was my first time leaving Toto at home with anyone outside of family, and Lauren immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease knowing he was in good hands. She took great care of him, and Toto took to her right away, even laying on her and relaxing. It was clear he felt safe and happy. He spent the evening playing, cuddling, and getting plenty of rubs. I’m so grateful for the care she showed him and would absolutely trust her with Toto again.”
“Nicolette was awesome. This was my first time using rover and she made me feel really at ease about leaving Marleigh! She sent pictures throughout her stay. I would definitely use her again!”
“Literally amazing! So kind and amazing to my doggo! She sent me daily updates from pictures to videos which I just loved! This was my first time leaving my baby with someone & Im so thankful/blessed to have met her! I cannot wait to go on another trip & book her! ?❤️”
“Lauren is always so nice and makes Roscoe feel right at home! We love the pics and updates she always takes the time to send and that Roscoe looks totally at home in all of them.”
“Aynavia kept me informed on Sheldon every day. She sent photos and updated me on his activity level. I felt very comfortable with her watching Sheldon while I was away on a work trip and I recommend her to anyone looking for a communicative and conscietious sitter.”
“Elise was very professional yet warm and kind. I think our lab may have not wanted to come back home. I will definitely recommend Elise to anyone looking to get their best friend back in better condition than they were left. Will use here again in the future if she is available.”
“First time using Rover and I found the app easy to search for finding a sitter. I loved Angela C for taking such good care of my fur baby! She stayed in touch and sent pictures to me every few days! She was very consciencous about making sure he got all his meds. What a relief to know he was taken such good care of and joined her own dogs. THANKS ANGELA”
“I took way to long to leave this review, Mark was super helpful and accommodating watching my pups last minute. He texted me and kept me updated so we could work out a pickup time, and was very kind!”
About: As a pet owner myself, I have experience with how to keep feeding routines, administer meds, walks, playtime, potty breaks, grooming and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m currently working remotely and part time. This leaves me plenty of time to care for pets on weekdays and weekends, throughout the day. Early mornings and late evenings are no problem. We have a private fenced in yard for those that need ample activity. Pets are cared for in the home but also have their own room for when they need a quiet corner.
“Shante was amazing!! I had to book her last minute due to flight issues with my trip and she was willing to not only accommodate to my 4:30 AM drop off time, but also sent me pictures and videos the same day to give me some peace of mind during my trip. She fully adhered to the feeding schedule I gave and was very communicative about everything! My pup came back to me with no issues and a happy girl! Thanks so much Shante!! Book with her”
“I had an excellent experience with Nicholas and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter. I boarded my cat with him for about six weeks during my summer vacation. I especially appreciated that he only boards one pet at a time, which gave my cat a quiet, low-stress environment and plenty of individual attention. When I picked him up, he was happy, healthy, in great spirits, and hadn't lost any weight, a clear sign that he had been very well cared for.”
“Sarai was amazing and professional. She was very welcoming and listened to everything you had to say. She sent me pictures all the time of Roscoe. Roscoe definitely loves being with her and her dog. I would definitely be booking Sarai again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Baton Rouge is $35

JC was great with Doc, and he got a chance to play with other dogs and we could tell that he had a great time at her house! She has so much knowledge about dogs and we honestly didn’t have to worry about him the entire time we were gone. We will leave doc with JC again now that summer is coming up!
This was my first time leaving Toto at home with anyone outside of family, and Lauren immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease knowing he was in good hands. She took great care of him, and Toto took to her right away, even laying on her and relaxing. It was clear he felt safe and happy. He spent the evening playing, cuddling, and getting plenty of rubs. I’m so grateful for the care she showed him and would absolutely trust her with Toto again.
Kairo and I moved from California and I was really hesitant to leave him with just anyone. My mind was changed after meeting Emma! Emma has been sweet and has maintained open communication from the date of booking up until the end of your booking! She has a comfy place and a pretty spacious yard! Kairo had a nail issue and she provided his medication and ointment and followed instructions carefully. Kairo felt right at home and I know he made himself comfy right away. I am so grateful to have met such a great sitter in the area! Will be booking again :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Baton Rouge on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 193 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Baton Rouge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
Sitters may also include daily walks in the neighborhood during your dog's boarding stay. You can also request photo and message updates throughout so you can see which local landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Baton Rouge home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Baton Rouge.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Baton Rouge sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in LA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
