About: Hello & thank you for your interest in my pet-sitting services. Some info for you about me: I have over 20 years of experience in animal care and veterinary assistance with multiple species. Plenty of hands-on experience with furry four-legged family members Going on vacation? Need an extra hand with things on a short-term basis? Broke an ankle and your dog really misses the daily walks? I'm here to provide assistance as an organized, trustworthy, and experienced resource. Reach out with any questions or to book an introductory meeting. Looking forward to hearing from you! I currently work from home as a freelancer with extended project time frames so I can set my own schedule outside of infrequent travel requirements. I do prefer to set up an introductory meeting for first-time clients. Let me meet the pets I will potentially be caring for in as relaxed and familiar an atmosphere as possible, take me through their routines, and then we can both ask questions as they come up during that process. I would also take notes during that time and could provide a write-up of that so that full expectations are laid out between us. I do not post pets/homes/certainly not people to any social media channels. I am happy to provide photos/proof of visits to clients via text/email if requested. I do not post my own face on social media (with very rare exceptions).
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I’ve grown up with always having a dog and a cat. I’m very flexible and always available! I’m a online student who has many pets! I have a lot of free time. I love animals and always looking for something to do! I live in a large field but I have a fence. If your pet is okay being around animals then it’s very safe for them! if not, i also have a house in baton rouge where i do school that has no pets and is also fenced in!
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was about 10 years old. I grew up with different breeds of dogs, small and large. We had a few litters of puppies that I played a big part in taking care of and helping with basic training, like potty training, sitting, and making sure they wouldn’t develop food aggression. I believe I am very trustworthy to handle many different kinds of pets but especially dogs. I have a lot of free time. The only obligation I currently have is school and I only go to school physically on Thursdays for the most part. I’m mostly home unless I have errands to run. I have an electric fence for my bigger dogs and they typically spend their days outside and sleep inside at night. I also have a small white dog that stays inside and loves meeting new friends even though she is 12 years old. My dogs also get fed once a day around 5:30pm and have access to water at all times outside and inside. For other pets, I will walk them outside on a leash in a grassy area that my dogs cannot reach if that is the owner’s preference.
“Mary was great! I received an update each day of our vacation on Addison and Rafter. Mary has a true heart for animals so I had no worries my babies were taken care of. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. My dream has always been to open a rescue of my own one day! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, from Yorkies to Dobermans. I’ve owned my GSP who stays at my moms house, since she was a puppy and house-trained her myself, so I’m experienced with the patience, consistency, and care that puppies require. I also help care for my mom’s 12-year-old dog, which has given me experience caring for older dogs as well. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I truly treat every pet like family. I am currently in college and not working so i have plenty of time to care for your pups! I am available Mondays and Wednesdays after 10:45 and Tuesdays and Thursdays after 2:15! My weekends are clear! I am very responsible and will make sure that your fur baby is loved, fed, has water, and has plenty of exercise and play time! I love all animals and take very good care of my pets and others!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Covington
Aurelia took such great care of our kitty, who is verrrrry shy. She coaxed her out and spent a lot of time petting, brushing and playing with her, in addition to taking care of food, water, litter box and plenty of treats. Aurelia is extremely dependable and reliable and communicated regularly with words and photos. Highly recommend.
Madeline took great care of my cat while I was away over the holidays. She was friendly, she kept me informed and updated throughout the trip, and she always followed instructions! Plus, she took very nice pictures whenever she dropped in to visit. I had no worries about my cat's care while I was away thanks to her!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
