“Ashley did a great job! Our pets were well cared for and happy to see us when we got home. House was spotless. We’re looking forward to her next visit with our furries!”
About: I work at Campbowwow ( a doggy daycare) I know how to look for signs of stress and how to handle it. I handle up to 25 dogs at a time so 1 or 2 is no problem. I work from 6am to 1pm 5 days a week. I can always come before work and I am available all afternoon or even late at night. I have had many dogs through out my life. I walked a Grate Dane to a schnauzer. I have also walked two dogs at once.
“Dweezil was very excited to see Caydence when she arrived. She took great care of him and treated our home with respect! We will definitely be using her services again in the near future.”
About: Kind, nice and attentive, Your Dogs Safe Space away from Home. A special getaway for your pup who will never want to leave. Come Experience what you will never forget! I’m home throughout the day and can provide attentive, reliable care for your dog. I will walk, feed, and care for your pet according to your instructions in a safe, pet-friendly environment. I also have a dog house available if needed, and indoor dogs are welcome as well. I currently accept small and medium-sized dogs only. “I have fur babies that can play with your dogs! If your dog is not neutered, please let me know. Female dogs will go out separately from males for potty breaks, playtime, and feeding times. I will feed them as requested, provide water breaks, and make sure they are in a safe, caring environment.”
About: I've been caring for cats and dogs since I was 10 years old - over 24 years of hands-on experience. From my own childhood pets to helping neighbors, friends, and family, I've walked, fed, bathed, and loved dogs of all sizes and temperaments.I have trained old dogs to do new tricks. I treat every pet like my own, because to me, they are family. I currently have a flexible schedule, which means your pet gets real time and attention - not just check-ins between a packed day. I'm available for house sitting, and I'm happy to send photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I would love to get out of the house for a couple hours each day, but also understand if you want me present 24/7. I provide calm, attentive care in your pet's own home. I'm experienced with crate routines, feeding schedules, medication reminders, and keeping anxious pets comfortable. Your pet's safety and peace of mind (and yours!) are my top priority.
About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Porsha! 🐾 I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—dogs 🐶, cats 🐱, birds 🐦, and even hamsters 🐹. I’ve owned German Shepherds, Poodles, Poms, and a few lovable mixes, so I’m comfortable with pups big and small. I recently rescued a 5-pound senior chihuahua from the streets. 🐾 I’m not sure about his social skills with other dogs, but since he’s elderly, he mostly keeps to himself and prefers to lounge on his cozy beds. 🛏️💤 ✨ Good to Know: 🐕 I require that pups are crate trained and crate provided by owners. 🐾 I understand that some pups prefer to stretch their legs and not spend time in a crate 🐕✨. That’s why I’m happy to offer an overnight trial stay 🌙💤—to make sure they feel relaxed, comfortable, and at ease in a new environment 🏡❤️. 🌙 Overnight trial required before extended stays. Can’t wait to spoil your furry family member! 🐾💕 🎖️🐾 I’m retired from the military, which means I have plenty of free time to love on your fur baby while you’re away. ❤️🐶 I do ask that owners provide a crate 🏡, but don’t worry—pups are rarely in them. Most of their time is spent playing, cuddling, and enjoying lots of attention! 🐾💕 🌳 I have a fenced-in yard where pups can safely play and get plenty of fresh air. 🐕✨ I take them out regularly for potty breaks, exercise, and fun. 🏡 In my home, pets are treated like family—they’re welcome on the furniture 🛋️, and most pups we watch even get to snuggle in bed with us at night. 💤🐶💕
About: Hey everyone. My name is Benjamin. I just graduated from University of Louisiana at Lafayette this past spring with a bachelors degree in Informatics - Interactive Media Technology. I do have a full time job working at Home Furniture Company with an IT Tech team. I am still fairly available after work and on weekends. I have a brand new 2020 Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec, so I am very reliable when it comes to transportation from A->B. I love all animals. I currently have 2 cats, 2 rats, and 1 leopard gecko. My dog is still in NOLA with my parents. His name is Beignet and is 13 years old. He is a Maltese-pomeranian. My favorite dog breeds are German Shepherds, Pitbulls, and border colllies. My favorite fat breeds are siamese and tabbies. I was walking a German Shepherd consistently for over a year and a half until Covid hit. Don't worry, I am vaccinated. Reach out if you think I'd be a good fit! I currently work full time 8am-5pm, but am still fairly free after work. I am usually free on the weekends unless I am out of town visiting family in Nola. I currently have an apartment with my significant other. We try not to have other animals inside since we have 2 cats. But I am always open to going to a client's home to take care of an animal.
About: I love to form a connection with any animal i come in contact with. Our dogs and cats are not just pets, they’re family. I treat every fur baby I meet as one of my own! I currently work full time at Ochsner but am able to set aside time in the morning and in the afternoon to help care for your pets! I like to make sure my clients animal is taken care of as they would be if they were my own. Whichever rules are placed, they will be followed!

“David is a very reliable and caring sitter! He jumped in last minute to take care of Charlie over Christmas when we had another sitter cancel. He is very reliable and communicative and we could not appreciate him more! He does so well with our dog and we highly recommend you work with David! He administers Charlie’s pill daily, takes him on long walks, and spends tons of time with him so he is not lonely. We cannot recommend David enough!”
About: I would take amazing care of your pet in my home. I will be able to provide them with the same care they get at home. I work from home, so I have the flexibility in my day to provide walks & playtime when needed. I've had many years of experience caring for dogs (fish and a hamster). When walk time is not needed, they will have full access to my fully fenced in yard. I have also provided care for friends and family when they had to leave town both in their home and in my home. Both of my pets have unfortunately transitioned over the doggie rainbow but my love for fur babies continues. Our first fur baby, Niles, was adopted at 3 months old. He lived a very loving and active life and transitioned in 2020 after 16 1/2 years. We took our second fur baby Nyla in at the age of 6 after her owners no longer wanted her due to having a baby and she was being placed in a shelter. Finding us was the biggest blessing and she was what our family needed. She also lived a very active life, as we used to walk 7 miles a day. She was a German Shepherd/Husky mix and needed to stay mobile. She transitioned in 2025 after 11 1/2 years. With both of our fur pets, we would visit doggie parks which allowed them to play freely. Both of our pets were loved and cared for during the best and not so great days. Your pet will feel as loved as my own were when it comes to eating, playing, walking around the block, or just good ole fashioned cuddle time. I don't mind giving medicine if needed and any other special requests can also be taken care of. I am an entrepreneur working from home, so I'm able to provide care for your pet throughout the day. Our normal routine would include a morning, mid-day (if the temps aren't too hot), and evening walk. They will be able to go in the backyard for play throughout the day in the middle of those walks. I have a fully fenced in yard and your fur baby will be safe. I can also easily crate your fur baby if that is what you prefer. Just know they will be well cared for, and I only take one pet at a time to ensure they're safe. I only take two pets if they are in the same family.
“Nolvia was great with my babies. It’s always so hard finding someone you feel comfortable with. Nolvia made it an easy choice with how responsive, willing and accommodating she was for our babies. She went way beyond what we expected. Would 100% recommend Nolvia and will definitely use her again.”
About: My family and I have always had multiple dogs raised from puppies to full grown dogs that I helped to care for. This includes walking, bathing, feeding, playing fetch, trimming nails and taking them to the vet. I have also taken care of our farm animals daily needs. I work part time and my day to day schedule is very flexible. I am open to same day sitting jobs if needed. I am available to take dog to the vet as well. I have one friendly dog that loves furry company. I can accommodate needs of sitting location, depending on client’s preference. I have toys, crates, treats and dog beds to ensure comfort and needs are met.
About: I’ve cared for many of my family members’ dogs and cats over the years, and I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. This experience has helped me become comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routines, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding, and attention. My yard is not fenced, but I live near a park and several safe walking areas. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention to help pets stay happy, comfortable, and active during their stay.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Duplessis
Awesome. Was a little weary of someone staying at our home but Robin came over the day we left and felt very comfortable. She sent pictures of the cats every night and they actually loved and usually never come out with visitors. She treated my home with respect and we loved her. We will definitely use her when we leave town again. That time she won’t have as many cats that care for. Highly recommend
I'm so grateful to have Mia as a pet sitter. This was the fourth time she has stayed in our home, and we always come home to happy, well taken care of pets. Mia is punctual and always communicates and sends updates. We will continue to ask her back as long as she continues pet sitting!
Outstanding experience. Ashley took wonderful care of our dog and cat as well as leaving our home cleaner than she found it! We got frequent updates and pictures of our furbies. In fact, she left a picture frame with lots of great pictures she had taken over our time away, all on her own volition. If she had a question, she asked. We, and the furbies, look forward to her next visit. Thanks, Ashley!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Duplessis is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $69 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.

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 Duplessis 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 Duplessis 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 Duplessis 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 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Duplessis. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
