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.

“Guybrielle was soo kind and nice with Omen . This was a first to have him in someone’s home instead of just boarding inside of a facility. Our first experience was amazing ! We will definitely use her for future .”

About: I believe what makes me a great pet sitter is my lifelong experience with all types of animals. I have a genuine love for pets and strive to make things easier for pet owners in every way I can! I am a College Student @LSU(!), looking to care for your furry friends; I have an odd schedule however I am great at communicating and staying dedicated to arrangements! I am open to recurring care & one day care needs! I accept same day bookings and cancellations as well. I'm looking to make your time away from your animals as stress free as possible! I respect all rules in any household regarding pets and personal items. I do not wish to overstep in any way; I am here solely to assist with your pet's needs. And to be completely honest I’m too worried about loving your furry friends to be doing all that!

About: I always have had dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and farm animals growing up. I’ve never had a time in my life where i didn’t have one or more pet. They are family! ❤️ I am also a server at a restaurant! My shifts are short making it very easy to care for dogs and their needs. I am able to let them outside every 4-6 hours on days I do work. I treat any & every animal with compassion, empathy, and like they are my own baby! I am more than happy to accommodate your pets needs (high energy, low energy, etc), I’m very understanding. I can also medicate if your pet needs medicine.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, managing daily routines, specific dietary needs, and overall wellness. As a dedicated dog parent myself, I treat every pet with patience, affection, and top priority toward their safety and happiness! I love spending quality time with dogs! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as a dedicated dog owner. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give full attention, timely walks, feeding, and plenty of playtime to your furry companions throughout the week. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I strictly follow all instructions regarding feeding, crate routines, and leash safety during walks. I ensure doors and gates are secure at all times, creating a calm, loving, and reliable environment for your pet.

I boarded my two dogs with Carol. I received many updates and pictures during their stay. They were quite content and obviously well tended to while I was gone. I will absolutely book with Carol again. I feel very safe with my dogs in care.

We were so nervous leaving Willow with someone for the first time. Carol is wonderful! She is so patient and kind. She sent messages and pictures every day. She gave us piece of mind to be able to enjoy our vacation. We would definitely recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much!

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Central

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Central is $29 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $29 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.

There are 216 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Central. About 95% of Central sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
