“Danielle was attentive, kind and patient with my pups. I have an elderly dog and a rescue who is very skittish. Danielle took the time to make sure they were each comfortable and made sure to keep me updated while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Tenaisha took a really good care of our dogs. She’s sweet and very easy to communicate with. I’ll definitely book her again in the future when we’re out of town.”
“Rana was great with our dogs! She administered their medications and treated them wonderfully. She stayed overnight with our pups and took care of them while we were out of town. Definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Jaedynn did an awesome job watching my two large breed dogs! She was communicative, reliable, and had a natural chemistry with my pups. She left my house tidy, sent plenty of updates, and took them on several walks per our agreement. Would book again!”
“We left Reaghan with our 3 cats and a not-insignificant amount of specifics to contend with and attend to regarding their care. Reaghan was communicative for our entire trip and gave detailed, regular updates. Our cats were excited to see us when we got home (not upset with us for leaving). I would definitely recommend Reaghan as a sitter!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always loved caring for and spending time with animals. I currently have a cat of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can trust with them. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs while they were away, including overnight stays. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, cuddles, meals, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! 🥰 I work Monday–Thursday, so my availability is mainly in the evenings and on Fridays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can plan ahead for drop-ins, walks, or overnight care. I’m especially flexible on Fridays and weekends and will always communicate my availability clearly when booking. I’m very respectful of my clients’ homes and will always treat them as I would my own. I’m comfortable following specific instructions and routines, and I’ll make sure your pet has everything they need while you’re away. Additionally, I will keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands!
“Stephanie was amazing with my baby girl. Stephanie is very patient and truly cares about animals. She even brought my baby girl a new toy to help with any separation anxiety. I will definitely continue to use Stephanie for walks and house sitting.”
“This was my first time leaving my pets with a house sitter, and Amanda was great! Very kind, sent lots of updates, and even tidied my house before I got home. She gave my dog his flea meds with no problem. I was grateful to have some peace of mind that my dog and cat were taken care of.”
“Tylyn is a terrific dog sitter!! Dependable, communicative, trustworthy and kind - she goes above and beyond to meet your needs. You won't find a better person to care for your pup!”
About: 💗 30+ Years Experience | Pet Lover & Rescue Mom 💗 About Me: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on pet care experience. From seniors to puppies, shy cats to sassy small breeds—I’ve cared for them all with patience, love, and genuine joy. I live with a small crew of rescues who remind me every day why I do this. Meet my furry family: 🐾 Sadie – my 17-year-old gentle senior pup who’s full of wisdom and love 🐾 Harley – a 9-year-old tuxedo cat with a flair for the dramatic and a heart of gold (even if he pretends otherwise) 🐾 Nemo – my 7-year-old Pomchi with a signature pout and a heart that melts for cuddles 🐾 Marley – a 5 lb Chi and the definition of a momma’s boy, always by my side Each of them came to me as a rescue, and their individual personalities have taught me how to tune into an animal’s needs—whether it’s a slow introduction, a cozy nap buddy, or just the right way to scratch behind the ears. I specialize in senior care, shy or anxious pets, and multi-pet households. I’m comfortable with all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—because I know how important they are to you. What you can expect when your pet is with me: ✅ Calm, loving environment ✅ Personalized care based on your pet’s needs ✅ Medication administration (oral/injectable if needed) ✅ Regular updates and photos ✅ Deep understanding of pet body language & behavior Whether you’re headed out for a weekend or need a daily drop-in, you can feel confident your pet is in capable and compassionate hands. Let’s talk about how I can help give your pet a safe, loving experience while you’re away! I have a flexible job that allows me to schedule check-in visits throughout the week, so I’m available for midday potty breaks, feedings, or quick play sessions. I’m also free most weekends and happy to help with your pet care needs when you’re away! Safety & Trust Come First—In Your Home or Mine Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, their comfort, routine, and safety are always my top priority. 🏠 In My Home: 🐾 Calm, pet-friendly space with constant supervision 🐾 Safe, secure, and clean environment—no hazards or crowded areas 🐾 Slow, thoughtful introductions to my own friendly rescue pets 🐾 Comfortable areas for seniors, small breeds, and nervous pets 🐾 Personalized care for puppies, kittens, and special needs pets 🐾 Experience with oral meds, eye drops, topical treatments, and some injectables (with instructions) 🚪 In Your Home: 🏡 Respectful, responsible care in your pet’s familiar environment 🔒 I follow your safety protocols: gates, crates, feeding routines, meds 🐕 I never rush—each visit includes time for cuddles, play, and proper care 📸 You’ll receive regular photo updates and check-ins for peace of mind 🩺 Experienced with senior and special needs pets—mobility issues, incontinence care, anxiety, or routine-based behavior needs 🍼 Confident with young puppies and kittens, including feeding schedules, socialization, and extra clean-up care With 30+ years of experience, I’ve learned how to tune into each pet’s unique needs and provide care that’s not just safe—but truly loving. Whether you’re heading out for a few hours or a full vacation, you can trust your pets are in good hands.
About: Hello, Furbaby Parents!!! I love and treat my furbabies like human babies...and, to me, they are. A baby is a baby. They need love, nourishment, direction, and laughter and that is what your baby will get while at our home. 🐈🐕😍 I try to only keep 1 dog at a time, in addition to our 2. I find it helps ease any new pup's anxiety if only 1 new personality is added at a time...to our melting pot of permanent characters. Lol I know that it is difficult to leave your pet with someone new but I can promise you that they will be loved, cared for and treated with the utmost respect. And they will not be kept in a kennel unless specified by you! Our home will be their new vacation spot. I hope they love to play with cats! 🐈 All rates are negotiable depending upon the situation or circumstance. I'm here to help!! I am currently taking time off to stay at home so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available 7 days a week, anytime of day or night. I have a yard and 2 friendly pups to play with your baby. I also have kitties to keep your pup entertained. Nothing but excitement over here!
“Grayson was absolutely fabulous with our kitties! Great communication and very thoughtful care of our adult cat and 2 month old kitten. We look forward to booking again. Thanks, Grayson!! 🐾🐾”
“Ashley is seriously a God sent!!! My puppy is shy and stresses easily however he isn’t this way with Ashley. She is so kind hearted, patient, and caring. I feel confident and comfortable to leave our fur baby in her care.”
“Olivia was a wonderful pet sitter for our three pets, including one old dog with lots of meds to keep track of. We were so thankful to find her and will be using her again in the future.”
“Sarah & Thomas took such good care of my monkey and Tommy! They put my heart at ease while I was gone for vacation. Super sweet couple will use their services again. ❤️”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving plenty of attention, love, and reliable care while they’re away. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care and ensure each pet receives the attention they deserve. I make it a priority to follow their regular routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication schedules if needed, and plenty of affection. I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I always make time to provide reliable care, companionship, and a comfortable environment while their owners are away. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved, no matter how long they’re in my care. I am comfortable caring for pets in either their own home or mine, depending on what works best for the pet and their owner. In a pet’s home, I make sure to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. If caring for them in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving space where they can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention. No matter where they’re staying, I treat every pet like family and make their well-being, comfort, and happiness my top priority.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Broussard on Rover is $24.42 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 110 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Broussard. 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 Broussard 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 Broussard 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 Broussard 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
