“Emma was great with my kitty while I was gone for the week, she even helped to bring in my furniture from the patio with the hurricane coming in! She kept me in the loop and sent adorable photos. Would definitely recommend!”

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: 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.
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!
“Chuck was wonderful! It was our first time using a dog walker since we got our puppy. Chuck volunteered to come and meet our dog prior to his first drop-in free of charge which was wonderful for the dog and his parents! :) We will be using him again in the future 100%!”
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.
“Brittnee was absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of our two cats while we were gone. She was responsible, dependable, and very attentive to our animals and their needs. We received frequent updates on their care and she gave us peace of mind leaving our cats in her keeping. We will definitely be booking Brittnee again for any of our future trips! She’s the best!”
“Excellent care! As always! I never have to worry about how well Sarah looks after my animals. She always does a great job & they love seeing her. She provides frequent detailed check-ins, with pictures!”
About: Been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life, i got my female Husky in Feb of 2018 and rescued my male Husky in Oct 2018. There is no pet i don't love and so far have never met a pet that didn't like me too, some take a little longer but you just gotta let me get use to you. I am available at pretty much all times, and i have an SUV so i can lug all the furry friends around when needed. I do not have a fenced in yard but i take my dogs over to my mothers and let them run around and can let any dog i watch go over with us and get all their energy out.
About: I work from home during summer months. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including feeding, walking, basic care routines, and ensuring their safety and comfort. I am comfortable with: * Small, medium, and large dogs * Feeding routines and medication reminders * Leash walking and basic behavior management * Maintaining clean and safe environments And providing photo updates throughout your stay! I am fully available throughout the summer and have flexible daytime and evening hours. I am home most of the day, so I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care as needed. I can also adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine. One dog lives in my home and I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine closely and ensure a calm, supervised, and secure environment.
About: I personally have had two dogs and one cat in my life. I grew up around dogs and cats. My current dog is almost two years old so I have experience with younger pups. I’m currently working part-time, so i’ll have an ample amount of time to have fun with your doggos. My hours are pretty flexible. I work from four to six hour shifts, four to five days a week. I’m versed in crate training, strict feeding schedules and dietary restrictions as my own dog maintains. I have a car so I don’t mind a small field trip. I also am flexible if emergencies happen.
“Michelle is the best! She is reliable and trustworthy and really cares for your animals. I highly recommend booking pet care with her. We will definitely book pet care with her again.”
About: I love dogs! I have 1 very spolied dog, King. He's a4 year old boxer that gives an impression that he'll eat you for lunch, but he's the biggest sweetheart!! I spoil and love on him every chance I can. He'll never want for anything, except more kisses! I want to share that love with other dogs in my spare time. I have a lot of love to go around. Your fur baby will go on walks and updates will be left for you to view upon your return! I am a very honest and reliable individual. I am punctual probably to a fault. Dont want me feed treats to your furry friend? I will never do what I am told not to. You can trust me and you'll be recommending me to your friends!! King usually sleeps all day, but I make sure he goes out and runs around several times a day. I go on long walks, but he had a very expensive surgery and I don't think he can take long walks. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or a client's home, all rules will be followed. My primary reason for being on Rover and caring for dogs is to make sure that nothing is missed while the hoomans are away!

Darcy is amazing! She traveled 30 minutes to do a last minute meet and greet and then drove back up here on Monday. It was a huge relief knowing our babies were being well taken care of on the worst day of my life…. My husbands funeral. She came and fed them dinner, washed their bowls (I expected them to be in the sink - but that extra touch was so special), made sure they all went potty and back inside. It’s always a little scary letting someone you don’t know come in and take care of pets but she is 1000% trustworthy and my crew loved her! It’s a comfort knowing I now have someone that I can call on to help when needed.
We generally don’t need this service often but Chuck showed up and was able to relax and bond with our 100lb GS. Thank you Chuck for helping us out and being an absolute professional. I actually think our boy misses you. We’ll be reaching out to you and this service more often.
She's amazing, very caring and detailed. She makes sure she knows what your dog's needs are and that they are met. She's got a bubbly personality that makes you feel right at home. Id trust her to take care of my diabetic dog anytime. Thanks for making this easy.

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 Hammond 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.

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.
