About: My first career choice as a child was to be a veterinarian. My life took a different path, but I never lost my love and desire to care for dogs. I am an avid dog lover and defender of our four-legged furry friends. We as humans are responsible for the pets that come into our lives, and it is my goal to help assist you with the care of your furry family member when you need it. I have volunteered at a local dog rescue sanctuary and currently work as a volunteer transporter for Save A Lab Rescue. I am a full time, veteran homeschool mom. On-going long-term set schedules work best for me, however, I am willing to consider flexibility based on my client’s needs. I do not board pets in my home. I also do not do overnight pet sitting in my client's homes. Drop ins and walks are my areas of service.
About: Ever since I was Itty bitty I have always adored animals. I was the kid bringing home strays every chance I got to make sure they found a loving home. In high-school I interned at a vet. This gave me knowledge and experience walking, feeding, administering medication, and understanding the behaviors of the animals around me. I am now an Army veteran and will be a full time student come the fall semester. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give your precious babies the highest quality care so you can feel confident and secure that all of their needs are being met while youre away. I have 1 dog and 5 cats of my own all with their own quirks, personalities, and detailed instructions I give to my own sitters when needed. Rest assured that there is not much your pets could need that I am not up for! I am moving from out of state and starting school in the fall, so during the summer I will have complete availability while settling into our new home! Due to having so many cats, I will not be offering boarding/sitting in my own home. However for house sitting, walking, and drop ins I am happy to follow any and all detailed instructions and will send plenty of photos for your peace of mind!
“Thank you for taking care of our cats while we went on vacation. We appreciated it very much and loved getting pictures of out cats daily and texts about how they were doing.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have now centered my life around animal care! I currently am going to school for my RVT and am also working in the clinic at our Parish animal shelter. Because of this, I am well versed in most domesticated animal care, am comfortable with special needs/ill pets, and never mind a challenge! I Young-old, excited-skittish, wet-dry, all need care, and I'm excited to help you! No task is too messy or difficult, no guideline is too silly! My husband is very familiar with pet care as well, and he supplements where i cannot be! I am currently working full time from 8-4:30. I am able to handle early morning and evening obligations. Depending on your location, I am also able to do lunch time drop ins! Most of my weekends are open, though I am unavailable about 1 weekend out of the month for work, these weekends follow my weekday availability. My husband supplements any working weekends, and most times in which i am not home! Every animal is different, every animal has their quirks and personality! I am easily adaptable to your pets needs in home and outside. My goal is to make visits and transitions as seamless as possible for your pets; what works for you is what's best for me! We love to board, WE BOARD MULTIPLE ANIMALS AT A TIME! Sometimes there will be overlap from different households. Please know that we always prioritize safety, are very adaptable with separation and never leave our boarded animals together unattended. Your pets will be housed in our refinished shed a few steps away from our side door. The area is climate controlled, has electric, and is monitored via camera 24/7. If your pets are pet friendly, they are likely to be inside the home with us unless we are not home! You can see a snippet of the view in my photos, please let me know if you have questions!
“Gwendolyn was great with our animals, and we have a variety of different animals. She was very reliable and we felt comfortable leaving our boys in her hands. We will definitely use her again.”

About: I’m a friendly, dependable pet owner who understands just how much pets mean to their people. I am the primary caretaker of my own dog, Freddy, he’s 3 years old with lots of energy, friendly with other dogs and loves people. I regularly care for my sisters dog and 2 cats while she is out of town, maintaining their normal routines and care. I live in a condo in Mandeville which means I have become extremely familiar with the dog parks, walking trails, dog friendly nature areas and state parks. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I treat every animal as if they are my own while providing photo and text updates so you can feel confident while you’re away!😊 Currently I am the office manager for a primary care clinic in Covington, M-F I am available before work, on my lunch break, and after work for drop ins or dog walking. My weekends are always changing and very flexible. I like caring for pets in their own home because that is where they feel most comfortable, following their normal routine and offering attention and companionship. On walks, I focus on your pets safety, energy level, and making sure they are well hydrated.
About: I am well versed in anything that includes animals. My father has owned a dog business for over 15 years and I have helped him throughout my whole life. I am also very well versed in horses and work for a couple people around their barn! I am a college student, but I have a very flexible schedule. I also work a few jobs but that doesn’t interfere with my scheduling. I have a fenced in yard with my own fur baby to keep your company! My roommate also has her own fur baby who will be happy to mingle with yours.
“The service process was easy and Anna provided great communication and attended our pet's needs perfectly. We will be definitely use this service again and request Anna for her services.”
About: I’ve always had animals, and naturally fell into helping others take care of their own. My experience with reactive dogs has also shown me how, despite seeming scary at first, they deserve the same love and care as any other furry friend. I work Monday-Thursday, and can dedicate 3 full days Friday-Sunday to taking care of pets. Im an early riser, and am happy to take a job any time between 5 AM and 7 PM. I realize letting a stranger into your home to care for your pet requires a lot of trust. I like to establish your ground rules and have an open line of communication with pet parents.
About: I believe I’m an excellent pet sitter because animals have been a huge part of my life from the very beginning. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I’ve personally bottle fed kittens, puppies, and baby goats, giving me hands on experience with pets that need extra attention and care. I also attended veterinary classes through LSU’s agricultural program, where I learned valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and proper care. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just a comforting presence, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I currently work in Healthcare at North Oaks Hospital. I take care of my pet daily, as I would yours once we figure out which days i’m need to care for your baby! Creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet is my top priority. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention while following their normal routines as closely as possible. I carefully monitor their behavior, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and ensure all doors, gates, and leashes are secure. By providing a calm, loving atmosphere and paying close attention to each pet’s individual needs, I help them feel safe, happy, and stress free while their owners are away.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I have a lot of experience with friends, family, etc..I also volunteer at my local shelter so i’ve taken care of pets in all shapes and sizes! I am a college-student so I’m busy but also have lots of down time! When I am with your pet, they will have undivided attention and anything that fits their needs! I have a fenced yard, and have had pups/ cats of my own! I will provide anything they need and really focus on getting to know your pets personally!
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life as long as I can remember. I am so grateful to say I've never gone a full year without a fur baby in my life! Having had many pet dogs and cats over the years, I am very experienced with both puppies and full grown dogs and cats. I am currently a full-time student at Southeastern Louisiana University about to start my Master's in counseling. I am available Monday through Thursday to care for pets before and after school, Fridays, and Saturdays! I treat pets with the same respect and care that I do humans. It is so important to me to help bring joy and safety to the animals I care for. Cleanliness, timeliness, and communication are also important to me and I prioritize them on every visit.

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 Folsom 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 with handling special pet needs in Folsom. On Rover:
- 100% 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 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.
