“Sheri was absolutely awesome to work with. She kept me updated all the time with how my dog was doing and was always quick to answer if I had any questions. She was very accommodating and made sure to learn my dogs schedule before her visits. Her constant pictures let me know that my dog was well taken care of and happy while I was gone.”
“Reggie was very grateful to have Carissa come and visit. He warmed up to her quickly and loved having someone to give him pets. Carissa was communicative and managed to take some great pictures even while Reggie was demanding attention. She also brought in some packages that weren't expected to arrive while I was gone. Although it is not very often that we need a sitter, when we do, I will definitely try to rebook with Carissa.”
About: With 11 years of personal pet care experience, I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. I’ve cared for dogs of different ages, including senior dogs who need extra patience, gentle handling, and attention. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. Whether it’s a relaxing walk, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I strive to make every visit comfortable, safe, and enjoyable. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, respectful of established routines, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in caring hands. I treat every pet with the same kindness and consideration I give my own. Pet care is already an important part of my everyday life, and I enjoy making time to care for animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding routines, and quality time with pets throughout the week. I understand that every pet has its own schedule, so I do my best to work around their established routines. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, an afternoon visit, or some extra companionship, I’m happy to discuss arrangements that work for both of us. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. As a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family member in someone else’s care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications when applicable, and daily routines. I make sure doors and gates are secured, pets are supervised appropriately, and their environment remains clean and comfortable. I also pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and individual needs. I believe communication is essential, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos throughout each visit. My goal is to give every pet a safe, positive experience while giving their owner peace of mind.
“As always Alyssa is great with my pets! This was the first time just watching one after my other pet passed. Watson was loved and cared for and I didn't ever worry about him while I was gone!”
About: I have had animals since I was a child. There’s not been a time in my adult life that I haven’t had pets. My husband was a dog trainer in the military for 11 years and has been evicted for the last 10 years. We currently have three dogs and two cats and they are well loved and well cared for. I am currently in the military and I have been for 18 years. Therefore, I understand the struggles of having a pet and having to leave at her moments notice and not having family around to help you. So I would love to hope any families care for their animal babies. I have a fenced yard. I have dog kennels andI have cat kennels to keep the dogs and cats safe. Additionally, all my animals are microchip.
“Miss Genevieve was great. She arrived every day that we booked, sent me photos and communicated with me to update how the kitties were doing. It was extremely comforting having her drop in while we were away. She also retrieved an Amazon package that contained Feliway plug-in for the cats and set that up for them. Truly thankful for her services.”
“Absolutely love Hope all my animals are well taking care of with lots of love and play time! And daily updates with picture I definitely recommend her and I will be using my her in the future!”
“Maggie was very responsive, communicated regularly and respectful of our home and time away. Our kitties weren’t cooperative, but Maggie made the best of it😊. We will book with her again when we go out of town.”
“She was super responsive and gave so many updates about my fur baby! Even helped with other things at the house when i asked. Really helped us since we were gone so long that she was there every day with pics!”
“Lisa did a fantastic job sitting my cat, Zaria. They were very diligent with daily updates. Sending photos and details of how Zaria was doing. They were also very responsive to all of my questions.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lackey is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $30 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 1,448 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lackey. 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 Lackey. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
