About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience working at a veterinary office, where I’ve gained valuable knowledge about pet health and behavior. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing special care for senior pets or those with medical needs. I also have experience training puppies, helping them learn basic commands and positive habits with patience and kindness. Above all, I’m passionate about animals and committed to giving each pet personalized attention, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is an important and enjoyable part of my daily and weekly routine. Whether it’s walking dogs, feeding cats, or spending quality time playing and comforting animals, I make sure to prioritize their needs consistently. Working at a vet office has taught me the importance of regular schedules, so I’m very organized with feeding times, medication administration, and exercise to keep pets happy and healthy. I genuinely love making pet care a regular, rewarding part of my life. When pets stay in my home, I create a warm and safe environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I stick to their regular feeding and exercise schedules to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I provide plenty of playtime and affection to help them feel happy and secure. I’m attentive to their individual needs, including any medication or special care, and I always monitor their health closely. My home becomes a cozy, caring space where pets can relax and enjoy their time while their owners are away.
“Mary is amazing! First time working together snd meeting pups. It was like a 3 ring circus here with the dogs on special diets and the lust of medications they were currently taking. She could have easily run in opposite direction but took us and the girls on last week with a calming presence, grace and humor. She went above and beyond taking great care of the dogs and even meeting chimney service because we had a squirrel squatter. We couldn’t have gotten thru last werk without Mary. After a very long day and travel delays we got home to the most thoughtful letter and surprise. We are so happy and blessed to have met Mary. She treated everyone and everything with care, love and respect. Book now…Mary is awesome! Forever grateful!”
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.
“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%!”
“The sweetest sitter! She came at the last minute for a drop in visit for my two large dogs, and tended to them very nicely! I really appreciate her responsiveness and attentiveness. Thanks again!”
“Alyssa took amazing care of our pups while we were away! She kept us updated with photos and a details of her drop-ins. She was in constant communication before and during! Super sweet, respectful and loving! We will absolutely ask Alyssa to watch our girls again and we highly recommend!!”
“Kristin was so quick to answer me when I needed help with my dog. I appreciate her help so much as I just left for work and was in a bind. I would highly recommend her and will definitely book her again.”
“Isabel was wonderful with our pets! She sent lots of updates and photos, and you could tell from the pictures how much my babies loved her. I will definitely be booking Isabel again during my next trip.”
“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.”
“Was able to come by at the last minute to help let my dog out when I had to attend a series of all-day events in town. Immediately responsive and so sweet to my little River!”
“Ellie did such an amazing job caring for our babies while we were away including outstanding communication with messages and pictures each time she visited —it meant so much!! This was our first time having someone care for them at home and she made us feel very comfortable and it was just an overall great experience. We will definitely be calling on Ellie again in the future.”
About: I've had the pleasure of owning two dogs and one cat throughout my life, and I've grown up around a wide variety of dog and cat breeds. Because of that, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. One thing that sets me apart is that my current dog is a show dog. Caring for a show dog has taught me the importance of maintaining a consistent routine, paying close attention to grooming and overall health, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet day of cuddles, I'll provide patient, attentive care and treat them as if they were my own. I'm currently in between careers, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your dogs and/or cats. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings whenever possible. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a relaxing walk, or just some extra love and attention, I'll make sure they receive the care they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I make it a priority to stick to it. I'm experienced with crate training, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and accommodating dietary restrictions, as my own dog follows a structured routine. Whether your pet requires medications, extra patience, or specific instructions, I'm happy to follow your care plan exactly as requested. I also have reliable transportation, so I'm happy to take your dog on a field trip to a local park, trail, or other pet-friendly location if you'd like. In both my home and yours, I strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I'm also flexible and understand that emergencies happen, so I'll do my best to accommodate last-minute changes or unexpected situations whenever possible.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hammond
Brenley did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Razor. He truly went above and beyond during every visit. He carefully followed Razor’s feeding routine, washed and refilled his food and water bowls, cleaned and refreshed the litter box, and even vacuumed around the apartment when Razor made a mess. The way he kept everything clean and comfortable for Razor was remarkable. Razor is shy around strangers, but Brenley was very patient with him. He spent time sitting nearby, talking to him, offering toys, and giving him space to become comfortable at his own pace. He also sent detailed updates and plenty of photos after each visit, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciate the care and attention Brenley gave Razor. I will definitely try to book him again in the future whenever I need to leave my cat at home while traveling. Highly recommended!
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!
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.

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.

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.

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.
