“I am so grateful for Randy. He took such great care of Willis and sent pictures frequently. Randy was also very accommodating when I asked if William could stay another day as my flight was delayed 3 different times! I would highly recommend Randy for future pet sitting needs.”
“We were visiting from out of town, and I had the pleasure of booking with Nolvia — truly an exceptional experience! She was flexible, patient, and incredibly kind. Her fenced backyard was full of engaging activities for dogs, and she followed my puppy’s schedule perfectly — even administering his medication with care. She kept me updated with timely messages, photos, and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. This was my dog’s first time being around another dog, and he absolutely loved it. Her sweet Marisol was such a gem to my SnowFlake — he followed her lead in every moment. I highly recommend Nolvia, and I will absolutely book with her again whenever we’re in town! Thank you for such a secure, thoughtful, and loving experience.”
“I highly recommend Damaris and Jose. They provided excellent care for our dog, as well as videos to keep us posted. In fact, our pup seemed quite content to stay with them when I arrived to pick her up!”
“Ben was able to work with my drop off/pick up schedule and sent regular pics to keep me in the loop. Dobby was all smiles when I picked him up and slept like a rock when we got home. I will definitely look to use Ben’s services in the future!”
“Mike is practically my dog's Uncle! He's always happy to be there and I don't ever feel bad for leaving him as he always have tons of fun. The communication is amazing with tons of videos and pictures of how happy Napoleon is staying with him!”
“I really liked how we did a meet and greet before she agreed to watch my dog to make sure our doggos got along. My dog had such a good time playing with her dog Pearl that my dog was exhausted by the time she got home. I also appreciated all the photos and videos she sent.”
“Elena took care of my two Chihuahuas Zoe and Gizmo. She gave update photos of how they were doing. My dogs were happy and content with Elena. I would definitely recommend Elena to care for your dogs if you need to use Rover. 😊”
“Michael was excellent. He communicated frequently, sent pictures, and made drop off and pick up easy for me. I would recommend Michael to doggysit for your pet.”
“Madison was fantastic! Our dogs haven’t stayed with a sitter before and she was incredibly accommodating. She sent pictures and updates during their stay, which was so appreciated. You can tell she takes care of animals as if they were her own!”
“Leaving Bentley with Kate and Conor felt like having a friend take care of him! Bentley was immediately comfortable with them. Kate was attentive to all of Bentley’s care needs. Bentley wasn’t even that excited to see me when I picked him up, which always tells me when he feels right at home with his sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”
“This was our first time boarding Hunter. I was nervous at first because we’ve never left him with anyone before, but Jas made me feel comfortable and at peace. We appreciated the pictures. Thank you Jas for caring for our Hunter!”
“All I can say is wow! I’m so thankful for Elizabeth, she was and is amazingly so sweet. Not only to me as a human, a total stranger that she never met. She show a extremely amount of love towards my dog GinO. She was open arms and was welling to learn more about the dog needs and what would make him feel right at home while I’m away from him. GinO(my dog) is my son...or some would say like family and she treated him like her own. Thank you so so much Elizabeth. Highly recommended she’s a real dog lover.”
“I can’t say enough positive things about Jessica! She is extremely professional, polite, dependable, and simply a kind person! Bosco had a fabulous stay with her and her husband during our daughter’s wedding in New Orleans. She picked Bosco up at our downtown hotel and dropped him off all in a very safe travel environment. Bosco enjoyed the daily walks and Jessica’s spacious fenced in backyard! He talks to me 🤣 and told me he loved his stay! As a a native New Orleanian working in Houston, we will absolutely contact Jessica whenever we have overnight needs for Bosco!”

“Pauline did a great job taking care of Tupelo. She is very thoughtful about caring for Tupelo and asked a bunch of questions to understand the pup’s needs and routines. Pauline provided a couple of pictures and updates everyday, and was very accommodating when our flight was delayed and we were a few hours late to pick her up. I would definitely recommend Pauline!”
“Ashley was fantastic with my dog, Neon. She made sure he was well integrated with the other dogs and gave him plenty of individual attention, including lots of games of fetch—one of his favorite things. She also kept a close eye on him to make sure he didn’t get overheated during the New Orleans summer heat. I loved that she had a kiddie pool in the backyard so the dogs could cool off while playing. Ashley was easy to coordinate with, communicative, and made the whole experience stress-free. It was clear Neon had a wonderful vacation while I was on mine. I’d absolutely book with Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who will provide enthusiastic and reliable care for your pup! I grew up caring for my family’s dogs, riding horses, and pet sitting for my neighbors’ dogs and cats. Now that I work from home, I have time to give your dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. My fiancé and I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can enjoy outdoor time, and our terrier mix, Clementine, will be happy to make a new friend! I also have experience with senior dogs and understand that older pups may need a little extra comfort and care. Since I work from home, pet care is a part of my daily routine. Your dog will have plenty of company during the day! I’m able to provide potty trips, backyard time, walks, and pets routinely. My dog is absolutely a part of the family, and your pup will be too when they stay with me. Please be detailed with care notes or any special needs as I want your dog to feel at home when they’re with us.
About: I have been having pets pretty much my whole life. I grew up with two cats and two dogs. I now have 3 dogs and 2 cats now. I love my babies they are my world. I do work full time. I feed my cats twice a day. Once in the morning and then once in the evening. They also get snacks throughout the evening and during the day when I’m not at work. I have a fenced in yard. My cats are inside cats but of course my dogs go in the back yard. I do have bulldogs so they don’t stay out long, it’s too hot for them in the summer. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats myself and they all get along.
About: I’ve always believed that one of life’s greatest privileges is being loved by an animal. There’s something so special about the trust they place in us, the little personalities they develop, and the way they become such an irreplaceable part of our lives. I was fortunate enough to spend 16 beautiful years with my dog, Harrie, from 2009 until his passing in 2025. He grew up alongside me, and loving him through so many seasons of life taught me more about patience, compassion, and the responsibility of caring for another living being than I could ever put into words. He wasn’t just a pet to me. He was family. I’ve also cared for two cats and have experience pet sitting for friends and family. One of my favorite things about animals is that no two are quite alike. Some are affectionate little shadows who want to follow you everywhere, while others are independent souls who need a little time and space before letting you into their world. I find both equally endearing. I believe good pet care is about more than making sure an animal is fed, walked, or entertained. It’s about paying attention to the little things, respecting their boundaries, learning what makes them feel safe, and offering the kind of gentleness and consistency they deserve. I understand that trusting someone else with an animal you love isn’t always easy. My hope is to give you the peace of mind of knowing that, even in your absence, your companion is being treated with genuine affection, patience, and respect. After all, they may only be one part of our world, but to them, we are so much of theirs 💖🐾 I’m currently on break from college until January, which means I have full-time availability and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets! Rather than trying to squeeze pet sitting into an already busy schedule, I’m fortunate enough to have the flexibility to make their comfort, companionship, and daily routines a priority. Whether your pet enjoys leisurely mornings, frequent potty breaks, long walks, interactive playtime, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I especially love the idea of giving animals a little vacation of their own while their humans are away! Once my college semester resumes in January, I’ll adjust my availability accordingly and always communicate my schedule in advance. For now, I’m excited to spend my break doing something I genuinely enjoy: caring for animals and getting to know their wonderful little personalities. My home is a peaceful, pet-free apartment shared by just my boyfriend and me. My boyfriend works, and with me currently on break from college, I’m able to be home throughout the day to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision. There are no resident animals to compete for attention or potentially make your pet uncomfortable, which I think is especially nice for pets who prefer a quieter environment. Although I don’t have a private yard, I’m tucked away in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood in the Bywater, with lovely surroundings for leisurely walks and a levee area just behind my neighborhood. I enjoy the idea of giving dogs the opportunity to explore, sniff around, stretch their legs, and take in the world at their own pace. Whether your companion prefers a relaxed stroll or needs a little more activity to get their wiggles out, I’m happy to tailor our walks to their energy level, comfort, and usual routine. All outdoor adventures will be supervised and on-leash, with safety always coming first. I also prefer keeping the number of animals I host small so that every guest receives the attention they deserve. I want your pet to feel like a welcomed member of the household rather than just another animal being boarded. Before welcoming a new guest, I love learning about their personality, routines, favorite activities, dietary needs, and anything that might make them nervous or uncomfortable. I also happily welcome meet-and-greets before booking! I think it’s important for both you and your pet to feel comfortable with me, and there’s no better way to start building that trust than by getting acquainted beforehand. It also gives us a chance to discuss their needs, answer any questions, and make sure my home is a good fit for them. I’m mindful of maintaining a clean, comfortable environment, keeping potentially harmful items out of reach, and respecting each animal’s boundaries. I understand that being somewhere unfamiliar can take some adjusting, so I never believe in rushing an animal to feel comfortable before they’re ready. I also know how reassuring it can be to see your pet happy and settled while you’re away, so I’m more than happy to provide photo updates, FaceTimes, and little check-ins throughout their stay. You’ll never have to wonder whether your companion is being cared for or how they’re adjusting. My goal is simple: to create an experience where your pet feels safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for, and where you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in attentive, loving hands.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
96% of sitters in Bayou Gauche 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 Bayou Gauche 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 Bayou Gauche.
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 Bayou Gauche 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
