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 love hanging out with dogs and any other furry friends! I will be sure that your pup gets all the play time and care that he/she needs! I’m also down to go for a run if they need a bit more exercise. I don’t mind getting messy, so if your doggy needs a bath just let me know! I have a 6 year old goldendoodle myself and she LOVES to play with new friends. Please let me know if you have any questions and I look forward to getting to know you and your pup! I can work from home and I’ll just bring my laptop with me, so I can do lots of walks and my weekends are free! Let me know what your regular daily routine looks like and we will be sure to stick to it! It’s hot outside in Louisiana and I know how important it is to keep your dogs safe. They will be inside just as much as they would have been when you were home.
About: From a young age I have always loved dogs from any size and any age. I love everything from puppy kisses to cuddles from more elder dogs and all the playtime in between. I also enjoy watching the dog grow up and being with them through many stages in their life! I am currently enrolled in college three days a week and have lots of free time outside of schoolwork to care and love on your fur babies. I will treat your dogs like they are my own. I plan to follow your routine with them to keep them as comfortable as possible while their owners are away.
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: With years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, I provide reliable, loving pet sitting tailored to each pup’s needs. Whether it’s playful puppies or gentle seniors, I’m here to offer companionship, fun walks, and plenty of playtime. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority! I make pet care a priority in my routine. Whether it’s morning walks, play sessions, or check-ins, I make sure each dog gets the attention and care they deserve. In my home, I create a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, walks, and cuddle breaks. In a client’s home, I stick to their pet’s routine as closely as possible, making sure they feel secure and cared for in their familiar space. I always prioritize each pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness.
“Found Abbey and we love her and will forever use her for our dog sitting needs! She adapted well to our nervous boy and had him feeling comfortable and happy after her first visit.”
About: I've taken care of many different types of dogs throughout the years. All different sizes and personalities. I am especially patient and positive, and I'm looking forward to meeting new canine buddies. My schedule is almost always in a flexible state. The only exception is seeing my nephews and niece safely off to or home from school. Consider me available anytime except 6am to 9am then again at 3pm to 4:30pm on weekdays. I have a good portion of back yard fenced in with a gazebo for my dogs when they need to go outside, and they are never far from treats and water.
“Peace of Mind for My Five Cats! Kaitlyn has been an absolute blessing! As the owner of five cats, it gives me tremendous peace of mind knowing they are in such caring and capable hands when I'm away. She always follows instructions carefully, pays attention to the little details, and genuinely cares about my fur babies' well-being. Kaitlyn is friendly, dependable, professional, and always willing to help whenever I need her. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure my cats are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It's not easy finding someone you can completely trust with your pets and your home, but Kaitlyn has earned that trust many times over. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all breeds and sizes since I was 10. With over 4 years of consistent experience, I’ve been the go-to sitter for neighbors, friends, and family—handling everything from daily walks to feeding, bathing, and playtime. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs and have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care is a central part of my daily life. I work at Lucky Dog Lodge, where I care for dogs every day—feeding, walking, monitoring behavior, and ensuring they’re happy and healthy. This hands-on experience has made pet care second nature to me. Whether I’m on the job or helping out friends and neighbors, I’m constantly engaged with animals and love making them feel safe and loved. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their regular routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise, or bedtime routines. I make sure to give each pet plenty of attention, affection, and playtime. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment. I offer plenty of space for them to relax and play, and I make sure they get frequent potty breaks, walks, and cuddle time. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like family. Let me know which services you offer specifically, and I can tailor this even more!
About: Thank you for clicking on my profile! I have grown up with all sorts of animals - from kittens to raccoons. I can promise your animal will always be cared for like they are my own ❤️ I will never believe in animal abuse. I stand up for what is right and will always give the animals a voice! If you have any questions, never be afraid to ask! Does your pet have a weird diet? I can work with that? Has your pet been sick but you have a trip planned for out of town? I can take care of them! No matter what, the love and support will always be there in my household. I look forward to talking to you very soon!
“I booked Blayne last minute after another caregiver fell through! Blayne took excellent care of my cat, Gracie! She followed all instructions and sent cute videos and photos of her while I was away for a wedding!! Highly recommend!”
“Myra is wonderful! She was punctual for drop ins and made sure my fur babies were cared for during my absence. I highly recommend Myra- her service is unmatched….we will definitely book again.”
“Emery is the best! She has been a huge help to me while my dog needed a little more TLC recovering from a procedure. It has given me great peace of mind to know she would be checking on him while I had to be away. He’s happy, and I’m happy! Thank you, Emery!”
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: We have both had dogs our whole life!! We love dogs. Everytime we see a dog out and about we are the people begging to pet the doggo. We’d love to meet you and take care of your baby! We both work opposite shifts during the week and myself (Kat) is home almost all day! We have a nice backyard for your baby to run around and we do have a beautiful golden/Great Pyrenees that LOVES other animals and will make sure your dog is at home and is getting all the play time! 😊 our Great Pyrenees is spayed and is 1 year and 4 months. We have a 5ft fence in the backyard that is the only access outside the yard and everything else is bricked in! We have a gorgeous backyard with tons of room to rove around! We allow dogs on all furniture and prefer they snuggle with us, but will do whatever you’re comfortable with!
“Loralei took good care of my two senior dogs for an extended weekend. She followed the detailed instructions I left and kept me updated after each visit. It was my first-time using a dogsitter who wasn’t a friend or family. So I really appreciated how friendly and patient Loralei was with both me and the dogs. I will definitely reach out to her if I need a dogsitter in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Gonzales is $17 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 548 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 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 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 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.
