“We had a great experience with our dog sitter! They stopped by for a drop-in potty break for our three dogs — Beamer, Jax, and Beau — and took great care of them. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing someone reliable was checking on them while we were away”

About: I have extensive experience with senior dogs and those that need a little extra TLC, as I took care of my baby who needed special care from time to time for her joints, so I am good with prescriptions and anything your fur baby may need. Very experienced sitting for family and friends. I have 1 pup and 1 cat here at my home, that my boyfriend and I love dearly. I would be happy to make sure your pet has the best experience with me (and all of the cuddles, of course!) I work part-time as an insurance agent for Brad Markerson State Farm, and am currently in nursing school. I can swing by your home on my lunch break if in your area, or can make your pet my first priority after hours. I care for my own pets as of right now, but I give them baths regularly, make sure they are brushed, and only feed them the most nutritious options out there. My boyfriend and I will take them on walks at Moncus Park, etc. I have taken care of many friend’s and family’s fur babies, and would love to give your baby extra attention and love.
About: Hi! I'm Maria, and I live in Carencro. I offer a cozy, peaceful home with a fully fenced yard for comfort and safety. I've had dogs my whole life, and in recent years I've been educating myself through courses and reading about canine health, training, and behavior. For over ten years, I've been a trusted caregiver for friends and family, especially for small dogs. Here's what your dog will find here: • A safe, fenced yard for quick potty breaks and sunbathing (under supervision) • A calm, chaos-free indoor environment — perfect for lap dogs, seniors, and puppies • Plenty of couch cuddles, patience, and an established routine • Dogs who need space can rest in a cozy, separate area without any pressure to play • Daily updates with photos and videos I know every dog is different, so I stick to the routine they have at home. I'd love to meet your best friend! I work 4 to 6 hours a day; the rest of the time, I am at home. I always take them out to the yard before I leave, and I make sure they have food and water. When I return, I take them out to the yard again, and we go for a walk, following our established routine. They usually stay indoors, except for morning and evening walks and bathroom breaks in the fenced yard, which last approximately 30 minutes, three times a day. The dogs eat according to a schedule set by the owner, and they have the freedom to move freely around the house and lie down wherever they want. I have a medium-sized mixed-breed dog who usually ignores other dogs and sometimes plays with them if he likes them.
“Tenashia is responsive, reliable, and took great care of my two cats. She even kept their eating spots so nice and clean! I highly recommend Tenashia, and I will definitely be booking wirh her again in the future.”

About: I’m a caring and dependable pet lover who will treat your pets like my own! I’ve had a dog and a cat, so I understand how important it is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I am currently a college student working part time. I typically only work 2-3 shifts a week and I only have classes on Mondays & Wednesdays so I have more then enough time for your furry friend. I live in a dorm, so I offer pet care in your home, including dog walking, feeding dogs and cats, playtime, and check-in visits. I’ll treat your pets like my own!
“Olivia has done multiple drop in visits for me and my dogs while we are in town for hurricane relief work. We currently stay in a hotel about an hour away from work and work from the early morning till evening time. Olivia’s drop in visits has given us peace of mind knowing our dogs get to go potty, get a drink of water, and have a treat when she gets there in the middle of the day. We are so thankful we found a sitter that has been understanding, responsive, and flexible throughout the whole process. We are just sad we will be moving on to a different city soon and will have to find a different sitter. Thank you Olivia for all you have done for us!”

About: I've taken care of family pets since I was 7 years old. Currently, I have a chihuahua-mix who I adopted in 2021 who is my best friend. I mostly have experience caring for dogs and puppies, but I have started fostering cats and kittens through a local animal shelter. This past month, I cared for and administered medications to two 6-week old kittens. I am currently working full-time, but I work mostly remotely, so I have plenty of time for playing with and taking care of animals during my breaks. I live in a pet-friendly apartment, and I have a large living-room area for my dogs and others to roam. There's plenty of space around the complex for dogs to potty.

About: Hey hey Rover!! My name is Alexandra. I just started back up after 3 years, and I worked for Rover for about 5 years before! I am an actress, singer, and bartender living out of Lafayette, LA right now. :) I have lived in Atlanta (where I started with Rover) and I am from Memphis (where I worked ALOT for Rover)! I absolutely adore animals, and I take great care in providing for their needs, and I love going for walks myself. I am very much an outdoors woman, and once the Dalmatian (Eli) that I used to babysit ran/walked 2 miles with me, I figured out how to use up a lot of that energy! :) In my opinion, dogs (well animals in general) are little personalities, all different and unique, just like you and me. I will care for what is yours as though they were my own. Would love to talk more! I currently am a freelancer/contractor, so I can absolutely make the time for babysitting with your babe! My schedule is planned out pretty far in advance, and it’s flexible. :) I have a sweet, lovely, female 4 year old Ragdoll mix kitty, and she’s the absolute sweetest! Only dogs and male cats she’s ok with! I have a great space with a backyard against a tree line so I’ll make sure your babe is on a leash if we go out! I live on the first floor as well in a very safe quant apartment building. It’s not like the normal big apartment complex.
About: I’ve been loving and caring for animals since my parents got me my bird at 2 years old. My absolute love and dedication to his care kick started my life of loving animals, starting out with volunteering for several years at Acadiana Animal Aid and fostering cats and dogs through them as well. I started dog walking and pet sitting at 11 and I’ve now taken care of more animals than I can list. I am extremely passionate about my love of all animals and I will treat your pets with the love and dedication I believe every animal deserves! I am a full time student at UL but I am open in the mornings, afternoons and nights! During the month of December I am on my winter break so I will be open with full availability during the weekdays and weekends. Whether you need your pets let out during the day while you’re at work or if you’d like them to be brought to the park or a walk around your neighborhood, I’m here for you! I have reliable transportation that is large enough to fit even the biggest of dogs. I also have plenty of experience with medically complex animals, so I’d be able to give medicine or help out in whatever way they would need!
About: I have taken care of animals sporadically throughout the years. I have done everything from walking, playing, giving medicine, cleaning letterboxes, etc. I spend most holidays and weekend home making it the best time to help with pet care. I am a full time teacher, so mornings during the week are difficult. I am available: Wednesday and Friday afternoons Saturdays and Sundays Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays after 7pm. I have three pets of my own, so caring for any pets in my home is not possible, but visiting any client's home is much easier. Overnight stays will depend drastically on my schedule.

About: Your fur babies deserve the royal treatment, which is exactly what they get with me! I have hands-on experience working as a Veterinary Tech, with my roots going all the way back to sudsing up pups as a bather and kennel tech. I even built my own boarding haven, Elsie’s Boarding and Spa, in loving memory of my late partner Justin and my sweet rescue pup, Elsie. When your pets are with me, you can relax knowing they’re safe, spoiled, and loved like family. My daily schedule is dedicated to pet care, giving me plenty of availability outside of my children's school drop-off and pick-up hours. Because of this routine, I can offer consistent check-ins, daytime visits, and flexible drop-off or pick-up windows to easily fit your needs. With years of hands-on experience in veterinary care and animal wellness, pet safety is always my highest priority. I have handled everything from routine bathing and coat care to assisting in surgical procedures. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced, attentive, and loving hands.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and currently share my home with three dogs and three cats of my own. Animals have always been central to my life, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. In addition to lifelong pet ownership, I have extensive experience in dog rescue. At one point I was actively caring for and rehabilitating 14 dogs at once, working with animals from a variety of backgrounds, temperaments, and medical needs. That experience taught me patience, strong observation skills, and how to quickly recognize changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable caring for pets at every life stage — energetic puppies and kittens, adult animals with established routines, and seniors who need extra time and compassion. I also have hands-on experience with special needs pets, including administering medications, maintaining detailed care schedules, and assisting animals with mobility challenges. Most recently, I cared for a senior pit bull with hind-end weakness who required lifting assistance to stand and walk, along with consistent medication management. Providing calm, steady support for pets who need extra help is something I truly enjoy. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine familiar and low-stress while providing dependable care, lots of affection, and clear communication so you always know how things are going at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time as a work-from-home contractor, which allows me a very flexible schedule and makes it easy to adapt my day around pet care needs. Because I’m home much of the time, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular check-ins, and reliable care throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure feeding times, walks, medication schedules, and companionship needs are met without disruption. Whether it’s short visits, overnight stays, or extended care, I’m able to adjust my routine to prioritize your pet’s comfort and consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine and environment as closely as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any specific behavioral or medical guidelines. I approach each home with respect and responsibility, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I understand the importance of trust when someone is caring for both your pets and your space, and I communicate regularly so you always know how things are going. With experience caring for animals of all ages—including rescues, seniors, and pets with special medical needs—I’m comfortable adapting to whatever level of care is required. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive care so your pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for in your absence.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 218 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Duson. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
