“I was very happy with Mikyla, she was available short notice to help me while my husband was out of town and I worked 12 hour days an hour away. She came to my house the day before to meet my dog and get a key. She let my dog out to go potty and gave her some love. I have two cats as well that she loved on though it was not expected of her. Anything I asked of her she was willing to do. Will keep her on my call list if I need a sitter again.”

About: Hi! My name is Hannah. I’ve been around animals my entire life. You know those funny people who go to a party and find the pet as soon as they can? Yup! That’s me! Currently I have the sweetest standard poodle named Ranger and the most loving Pittie/Rottie mix named Ozo. I have two cats as well. One is my old lady named Midnight (Midi) and the other is a terror of a cuddle bug named Squeak. I’d love to be able to help and assist with your own animals. I’m able to walk, check-in, give pills, and a list of other things to make your and your fur-babies life a little easier. I am lucky enough to have a very flexible job so I can pop in and out as needed to be there for your fur-baby. Currently I would have to check in and take care of your fur-babies from your home. Hopefully in the future I hope to be able to have them stay with me.
About: I am a huge lover of all animals! I have had a lot of experience with different types of dogs, cats and multiple types of small animals. I grew up with three small Schnauzers, and as an adult I have been the loving owner of a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois/Labrador mix, and a miniature Australian Shepherd. I also had the pleasure of taking care of an abundance of small animals such as bunnies, exotic birds, ferrets, etc. at a Rescue Ranch for small animals as a teenager. After moving to Fort Polk to be with my husband, I decided to work on a Diploma to become a Certified Medical Assistant, therefore I am home more often than not studying. Recently, I have discovered how much I love going on walks and playing with different kinds of animals. And even though I can’t have every pet in the world, I’m sure I can take great care of your pet. I can’t wait to meet/take care of your fur baby!🩷 I’m currently a full-time student from home, so I have a lot of spare time to manage and care for your pets needs I have a fenced in backyard as well as a large neighborhood to take your pet on a long walk if needed. Plus I love playing fetch and different kinds of enrichment activities with dogs
About: I have a military background so I understand the need for reliability and routine. I also work in healthcare which makes me highly attentive to detail. I've gained 6 years of experience from dog-sitting for friends, coworkers, and more. Additionally, I have a Dog First Aid certification from the American Red Cross. I'm currently active-duty military, but I have the flexibility to do drop-in visits early in the mornings and later in the evenings (during lunch hours can be discussed if needed). I am open to extend the drop-in hours/time on Saturday's. I can also provide dog walking and house sitting services (preferably after a consultation). I will simply abide by whatever rules and instructions you lay out for me and follow them accordingly. If I have any questions/concerns, I'll be sure to reach out to you immediately!
“Kate was wonderful! I had to leave town to visit family during the Christmas holidays and she was kind enough to make drop-in visits to take care of my cat, Sage. Kate was attentive to her needs and care preferences and it was very easy to stay in touch with her via text message. I would book with her again in the future!”
“Highly recommend!! Alexis is the animal whisperer! She is super awesome! She loves all animals and all animals love her. She has watched my two small dogs on many occasions and also has cared for our two large Maine Coon cats. All the neighbors’ animals warm right up to her. Even those that typically are skidish of new people. It is amazing to watch her interact with “difficult” animals. She connects with them like she is their bestie. Weird, but true! She is personable, caring and follows our requests. I highly recommend Alexis!”
About: I’m not just a sitter—I’m a consistent, calm presence who communicates openly with pet parents, shares daily updates and photos, and creates a stress-free environment for both you and your dog. Whether your pup needs high-energy playtime, slow walks, or extra cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to fit their lifestyle. I have two dogs myself, so pet care truly does come naturally! I’ve had to administrate meds, crate train, potty train, and deal with puppies teething, so I’m more than capable of helping others have care for their pets when they’re away! In my home, my dogs are indoors 95% of the time since they’re both big furry dogs and the Louisiana heat is no joke! They have scheduled feedings and are crate and potty trained, but I have experience with puppies who need a little extra attention. I also have helped senior pets with medications and a slower paced walk and environment overall. I truly love taking care of animals and am very flexible with schedules and adaptability to ensure whatever schedule they are used to, I will also implement. I know how important consistency is!

About: I have raised dogs all my life. Currently my family has a large home on 5 acres. We have two, large dogs, a cat, and chickens. I am available for drop ins and boarding. I am available for feeding and/or caring for farm animals as well! I also have experience with rabbits, ferrets, and bearded dragons. If needed I can give shots and oral medication as I do have experience with this as well. I hope to see you and your pet soon! My husband and I both currently work full-time, both of us are home by 5 pm each day. My day schedule is flexible and allows me time to do drop ins when needed. When home we spend a lot of time outside. We do not have a fenced in yard, but have no problem with walking on a leash if needed. We live on 5 acres of land that allows plenty of room to run and play. If needed I can crate your pet as needed.
About: I have always grown up around animals. I’m full of energy and so excited to met your sweet fluffy angels! No animal is to big or small. I have a completely open schedule and ready for any animal needs. I have a completely open schedule and will respond asap! Im super active and just want a fur friend to hang out with! I’m currently saving up money for a laptop for college and need all the work I can get. I have a fenced in yard that I will supervise every dog in when they’re out.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in DeRidder on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 70 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across DeRidder. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a DeRidder stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
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.
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.
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.
