“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!”
“Nicolette was very nice and pleasant to work with. This was my first time using Rover. The most important thing is she understood the assignment, and made my pet feel at home, and made me as the owner feel at ease. My pet made new friends, and he was happy. Thanks again Nicolette, and Foster will be a repeat house guest.”
“Khya was amazing with my older dachshund. I got regular updates and knew she was being well looked after. I needed a pup sitter for 2 weeks and was worried about leaving her with just anyone, but Khya was super sweet and easy to work with. I'm sure we'll end up having her pup sit for us again soon.”
About: I own five different breeds of dogs and I have had my oldest since I was 10 years old. And that has taught me how to value animals in a different way Well with my schedule I have it worked around to where I can spend the majority of my day with my dogs to go around their feeding schedules and play time I have a well fenced yard and two well fitted crates if your dogs need it and all of my pets are really friendly. I have many toys and treats
“Fallyn was great ! Sent detailed updates and pics of my pup daily. My drop off and pick time changed and she was able to accommodate me . Very friendly and professional . 10/10 def recommend.”
“Chelsy is so awesome! She kept me updated on my pup all weekend which made me comfortable leaving him with her and I knew he was well taken care of. I definitely recommend her as a sitter.”
“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.”
“I had such a great experience leaving my pup Todo with her! She kept me updated the entire time with lots of pictures — she captured the best moments, and the photos she sent were literally perfect . Todo got along really well with the other dogs that were there, and I could tell he was comfortable and happy the whole time. As a very protective dog mom, I truly felt at ease leaving my son with her. She made both me and Todo feel so welcomed, and I’m really grateful for how caring and attentive she was. I would 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pet.”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know firsthand that our pets aren’t “just dogs”—they’re family and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your fur baby. I provide patient, loving and attentive care and treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, routines and needs. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I also know how reassuring updates can be, so I’m happy to send photos and messages during your pup’s stay or visit. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your dog is being cared for like family. I’m a SAHM and I run my own business so my day consists of running a few errands, loving up with my 5 furbabies and trying to end world hunger! My yard is not fenced however there’s ample room to run around with a leash, potty breaks and I’m happy to crate as requested. I bring my furbabies to the local fenced in dog park, I’m sure they’d love more company.
“Sox loved his time with Christy. She was great! I never worried about whether Sox was in good hands as Christy sent updates with pictures throughout his stay. Definitely recommend Christy and will be booking again in the future.”
“Jaci became a second family to our girls while we were on our honeymoon! We are so grateful and will definitely be sending our girls back to her when we visit family again. : ) So many updates and even a happy birthday postcard from the girls! 5 stars!!!!!”
“Christie was very responsive. She sent daily pics of my pup. This was my first time leaving my pup and she made me feel comfortable. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
About: Ive dog sat for many people for the last three years. I’ve dog sat/walked for doctors, friends, and many neighbors. I am CPR certified with humans as well as animals. Your baby will be in great hands! I’m currently a student at LSU in Baton Rouge so after my morning classes I have the rest of my day to dog sit/walk as needed I will care for them like they are my own. I will keep an eye on them as they play, I will crate if needed, and always make sure they have the appropriate amount of food and water.
“Ashley was a great sitter for our pups. She was very friendly, had a clean and well maintained home, she communicated well throughout their stay. I wouldnt hesitate to let her watch them again.”
“Julie was FANTASTIC!!! She was extremely communicative before and during the sitting, and was very generous and flexible with respect to dropoff and pickup times. We instantly felt at ease when we met Julie, and we were confident our pup would be in the most excellent and caring hands! It is evident that Julie loves dogs and is a natural with them. Our dog warmed up to her immediately! We especially appreciated the picture and video updates- it helped us so much while we were away missing our dog! We will absolutely use Julie again in the future and will recommend her to others we know!”
“I can’t say enough about Emily! She watched both of my pups while I was away on vacation and they were sooo loved! She sent lots of pictures and updates. Will definitely be boarding with her in the future.”

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!
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 :)
My pup stayed with Wren for about a week. She went out of her way to make my baby feel comfortable and kept me informed throughout the week with updates and photos. She took my pup on some wonderful hikes and overall, I think my baby had a great time. I would highly recommend Wren!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Baton Rouge is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $49 per night. 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 200 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 on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
98% of sitters in Baton Rouge can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Baton Rouge home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
