“Danny took such good care of my dog. It was our first time booking with Danny which is scary as a dog mom. I was quickly realized that Danny’s calm presence was perfect for both my pup and my nerves. He walked her twice daily, fed her, and most importantly loved on her. We love Danny”
“Katie is our absolute favorite sitter! This is her second time housesitting for us. She took amazing care of our dogs and left our home cleaner than it was before she arrived! She sent daily updates as well, which I definitely appreciated. Highly recommend booking with her!”
“From our initial meet and greet with Mason, her love for animals was immediately apparent, and our boys took a real liking to her. During our time away, she communicated often, and sent pictures of the pups in obvious bliss, allowing us to enjoy our very eventful weekend. Having just moved to the area, we feel lucky to have found her, and we plan on using her again soon!”
About: Senior care, puppy care. I can do both! Bonus, if your dog likes to run, so do I! Medications no problem, clipping nails, no problem. I work full time, so I’m available evenings, nights, and weekends. I can house sit certain nights, can do drop ins any day of the week. I have worked with a variety of species. I have no issues with reptiles, rodents, amphibians, cats, and dogs etc. I am passionate about animal care.
“Kaylee was such a delight! Shady looked so happy in all the photos she sent me, and she made sure he took all of his allergy meds the whole stay. She kept me informed and updated about him all weekend and I had peace of mind my whole vacation knowing my baby was well taken care of. I will definitely be calling her next time I go out of town!”
“Everything we do is last minute, so last minute changes were made to add an earlier departure date at the last minute. Keona was available and flexible to watch our two for 8 days. She did a meet and greet before we left and you can tell she is a dog lover. Will definitely use her services again.”
“Lincoln was amazing! He stepped in for us at the very last minute after another sitter canceled, and he truly saved our trip. He took great care of Cash & Milly, kept us updated, and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy pups and a well cared for house. We’d absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Freddie was very sweet and open to all my communications about my dogs' various quirks and personality traits. When my dog injured himself the night before her stay, she took all of his care instructions in stride. When I arrived home, both dogs were just as happy and healthy as ever.”
“Sierra did a great job. She did leave the cat poop in a grocery bag for a few days so when we came in the house didnt smell great. Otherwise she kept me in the loop every day, took pictures & sent & kept the house clean. I will most definitely use her again.”
“Nick watched our 2 dogs and gecko for a few days and we had a great experience! He was so professional and very responsive while we were gone. The house and all the animals were very well taken care of and we would highly recommend Nick to anyone!”
“Rose is amazing! Our pups were very well cared for and loved on while we were away. She’s great about giving updates and sending pictures! Our house is spotless, she vacuumed and even brushed our pups as an added bonus! Highly recommend her, you won’t have to worry about your pups while you’re gone at all!”
About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I can remember. I grew up with at least 3-4 dogs in my household at all times, volunteered at the local animal shelter to help take care of the overflow of dogs, fostered a litter of puppies, and of course the occasional dog sitting for a neighbor or family friend. I am currently working 2 part time jobs at the moment, but they usually include short days and hours. I am mostly available from mid afternoon to nighttime on any given day, especially weekends! Schedule is subject to change weekly. I have a big kennel in my home if it’s ever needed. I also have plenty of toys, treats, and other equipment like poop bags, leashes, or harnesses.
About: I’ve had a dog in the house since I was 5 years old. I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years as a boarder before I permanently moved to Baton Rouge. I go to LSU and major in animal science. I have medicated and taken care of anxious/aggressive dogs. I am patient, gentle, and I take account that each pet is a family member to each owner. I am currently enrolled at LSU majoring in Animal science. I have wanted to foster or get a pet of my own since moving here but I have not been able to, so I decided to make my side hustle helping others with the things I love to do. I am available on weekdays and most weekends. Just message me ahead of time for weekends! I am easygoing and easy to communicate with. I have a fenced little yard and I enjoy walking around my gated neighborhood, so I will do so with your pet. I follow instructions well, I am aware each pet is different and have their own personality. I’m slow and a quick learner, since I have handled hundreds different dogs for a handful of years. If I am ever confused on an instruction my first instinct is to contact you to make sure and not just “assume”.
“10 out of 10!!! She was absolutely amazing with our dog Kevin:) She stayed at the house and watched him for a week!!! She sent us updates and pictures and was great at communicating!!! Would highly recommend trusting her with your pets and I’m so thankful for Jamyriah!!💕”
“Aisha did an amazing job with our three girls! She was attentive and followed all of our requests. We appreciated the photos sent while we were away which eased our time away from our fur babies.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gardere
Lillian is great with my doodles. She stays overnight with them, walks them, send pics and plays with them. The house is spotless when I come home. I feel relaxed when I leave Ollie and Callie with her because I know they are safe and she is trustworthy! I highly recommend Lillian.
Our boys come with some quirks, and within moments, we were getting photo updates of them cuddling on to her lap, or asleep on a comfy pillow, making the whole experience feel comfortable and safe. She’s got a way with animals, and we highly recommended her.
Sarah was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet and easy to communicate with, keeping me updated throughout her stay. It was such a comfort, knowing she’s a vet student, especially because Athena has epilepsy. I felt completely at ease, leaving Athena in her care. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again.
Collin was amazing and gave us such peace of mind when he was house sitting for us and watching our three cats. He went above and beyond our expectations and made sure to provide excellent care for our kitties. Would definitely book him again and recommend him to anyone wanting trustworthy and thorough cat care.

FAQs for House Sitting - Gardere
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gardere on Rover is $32.1 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 324 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gardere. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Gardere 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 Gardere 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 Gardere 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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gardere. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
