About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. I’m 29 years old, born and raised in Louisiana, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, not just a job or side hustle. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets because they’re family. I know the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of different personalities, ages, and energy levels — from playful puppies and kittens to older pets that need extra patience and gentle care. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them attention, affection, playtime, and a calm environment so they feel secure and happy. I want pet owners to have peace of mind knowing their babies are in caring, reliable hands. I’m currently working part time so I would have plenty of time for your loved ones. I’m available Monday-Sunday Mornings at 8am to 12pm . Evenings 6:30 to 8pm. I’m able to provide pets with a comfortable indoor space in my spare bedroom, giving them a calm and safe environment while in my care. I also have a spacious backyard where pets can enjoy fresh air and outdoor time safely on adjustable leashes, allowing them room to move around comfortably and stretch their legs based on their needs and activity level.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for my family for the past three years. I walk them, feed them, let them out to potty and I play with them. I also have a dog of my own. Her name is Isabella who is like a child to my husband and I. I have been around dogs my whole life. I am available on weekends and also some days during the week after 5 p.m.. I would walk, feed, play and give your pup my undivided attention. When I go to your home to walk your dog I would make sure your dog has his or her collar and leash on, and I will also feed and give water to your pup based on your feeding instructions. If your dog is kenneled I would make sure he or she is secured in the kennel.

About: I have about 3 years of experience working at 2 different vet clinics - one in Baton Rouge and one in MS. Mainly caring for cats and dogs. I am a registered nurse working only 3-4 days a week. My personal life varies each week since I have my own family, but I'd love to care for your babies on my off time. I take caring for other people animals very seriously because I know how it feels when my dogs are in the care of others. I will treat them as my own.

About: I’ve had pets majority of my life. I grew up with dogs and became a cat owner as an adult. I typically have multiple pets at a time. Including cats and dogs at the same time. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have several years experience caring for my own pets as well for several family members. I prefer a positive, gentle touch as opposed to a hard handed approach. But can be firm if needed. I am dedicated to making sure all of your pet’s needs are met. I promise to give your pet the attention they deserve and to make them feel safe and loved in your absence. At home we have a 12 year old 110 lb. mixed shelter dog named Libby. We recently lost our beloved Poppy, a 14 year old 65 lb. mixed shelter dog, to cancer. I am currently a homemaker. I have a 23 year old daughter who works as a paralegal and twin 21 year old boys who are Sophomores at LSU. I am a caregiver at heart when it comes to my children, family and pets. I have the time so I would love to use it to properly care for the pets of families in need of this service. I am flexible and available weekdays and most weekends. I can care for your dogs and/or cats in your home. I offer drop-ins and walks. Can stay with your pet in your home during the week any time between 9:00 AM and 3:30 PM & after 6:00 PM. And most weekends. I can also stay overnight if needed.

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs for friends, neighbors, and family, often stepping in for walks, feeding, and daily care when they're out of town. I'm dependable, detail oriented, and I make sure each dog's routine is followed so they stay comfortable and stress free while their owners are away. At home I have a mini schnauzer and a sheepadoodle, so I'm very familiar with both smaller, high energy personalities and larger, playful dogs. Managing both has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read different temperaments quickly. I'm comfortable adjusting to each dog's needs and making sure they get the right mix of exercise, attention, and care. I work in dental sales, which gives me a flexible schedule that I can easily work around pet care needs. I’m able to stop by for walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day and adjust my schedule as needed. This flexibility also allows me to take on regular or last-minute bookings and be reliable for pets and their owners. I follow each pet’s routine and instructions closely to keep things consistent and stress free. I handle feeding, walks, and basic care in the client’s home, and make sure pets get the attention and exercise they need based on their normal habits, personality, and daily routine.

About: I have 12+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I currently share my home with my two rescues: Princess, a calm and loving 10-year-old lab mix, and Ross, a playful almost 3-year-old dachshund mix. My late German Shepherd, Thor, was with me for 7 wonderful years and passed in October of 2024 at 10 years old. Since 2021, I’ve been active in dog rescue and fostering, caring for countless pups including senior dogs, puppies, and even Amish puppy mill rescues who needed patience, rehab, and lots of love. Watching them blossom into happy, adoptable dogs has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. My dogs are truly my world, and I’ll treat yours like family too. I have a fenced-in yard for safe playtime and a cozy home where they’ll be loved. You can always count on me to keep you updated with photos and messages, so you know your furry friend is happy and cared for. Right now, I’m available throughout the week since I don’t begin my full-time job until the end of October. Once I start, I’ll still be available for boarding and drop-in visits—your pet will just need to be comfortable with me being away during normal work hours. In my home, your dog will have a safe and loving environment with plenty of playtime in my fenced-in yard. I can crate your pup if that’s what you prefer, or keep them free to relax with my own two dogs—whatever makes them most comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and preferences closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or snuggles. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they do with you.

About: I’ve owned all types animals ranging from dogs and cats to birds and reptiles. They have all lived long and spoiled lives. I love animals and treat them very well regardless of whether they belong to me or not. I’m a friendly and cheerful personality. I’m very patient with even the most stubborn of fur babies. I set walk or restroom schedules based on the needs of the pets and adhere to all rules given by the owners. I’m a very detailed-oriented person. I’ve been dog sitting and dog walking for friends and ex-coworkers for the last three years. I really enjoy spending time with animals and helping people out. It can be stressful trying to work or go on vacation and constantly worrying about your four-legged family members. You can rest assured that your pet(s) will be in good hands. I work full-time Mon-Fri from 8 am until 4 pm. I’m available for lunchtime potty and play breaks if needed. My nights and weekends are free to give your fur family the attention and care they deserve. I do not offer boarding services as I have a kitten that prefers to be the only four legged creature inside of the house at all times. Just let me know what activities your pets enjoy and I will make sure to keep them engaged during the stay.

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to hamsters, guinea pigs, and even reptiles like turtles and lizards, I offer compassionate and reliable pet-sitting services. As a pet parent to my own two cats and two dogs, alongside my caring boyfriend, I understand the importance of providing a loving and safe environment for your beloved companions. Having provided pet-sitting for my family for many years, I am eager to extend my care to your furry, scaly, or feathered friends! As a part-time restaurant manager and nursing student, I offer flexible pet care services to fit your needs. Working for my mother provides me with unique scheduling flexibility, allowing me to accommodate your pet's care with sufficient notice. I reside in a spacious two-bedroom apartment in Baton Rouge with my boyfriend, providing ample space for pet care. While I'm unable to host other pets in my home due to my dog's reactivity, I do have experience with aggressive dogs. My young German Shepherd is incredibly friendly and would enjoy playdates with similar-sized pups! My pets follow a strict daily schedule, maintained with my boyfriend's help. As an owner of larger breeds (Pitbull and German Shepherd), I'm comfortable handling bigger dogs, even in apartment settings, thanks to daily walks down three flights of stairs. I'm also experienced in administering medications and catering to pets with special needs, ensuring your pet receives the personalized care they require.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Gonzales

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gonzales is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $28 per visit. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 557 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gonzales. 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 .

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 , 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 Gonzales. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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.

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
