“Bayleigh is fantastic! She is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will absolutely be having her care for Remi again. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that Remi is well cared for. Remi loves everybody, but he really took to Bayleigh, probably because of her calm and kind manner with him.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and I have had two of my own for years now. My oldest being 13. These are country pups who love to get down and have a good time. I care for them tremendously and will do so to yours as my own. I am currently working from home, I have a lot of free time to take care of the pups needs at any part of the way and make sure they get enough exercise in as well. I have a 67 acre private property with enough room for your fur babies to roam safely. I have two other fur babies of my own to keep them company and have friends to play with. I can cater to anything your dogs need with the amount of time and space I have.
About: I have about 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I follow care instructions closely, prioritize safety and routine, and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Hi! I’m Marissa, a responsible and caring animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in following care instructions closely. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My fiancé and I have an almost 2-year-old Aussie, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, playtime, and providing a safe, loving environment for pets in our home. I work part-time and attend school at LSUE a few hours two days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule for morning, afternoon, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in both my home and my client’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets in a clean and secure environment, and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly secured. I respect routines and communicate immediately if anything seems off. I treat every pet and home as if they were my own.
About: I have helped take care of animals for as long as I can remember. We've always had a family dog that I would help feed and walk. Once moving out on my own I got a rescue dog who is also my service dog. Since getting married to my husband we've added two Bassett hounds to our family. When visiting my parents ranch I help feed the horses, chickens, dogs and even cows. I'm an animal lover. 😁 I am a full time stay at home mom. I typically get up and start my day around 8:30/9am. Making it to walk your fur babies on time will not be an issue unless I have other commitments, but I will inform you of them if and when necessary! Watching your 4 legged friend at your house they will be be able to go about their regular day! They will get frequent potty breaks, tug of war and all the snuggles and pets! At this time I cannot take any dogs at my house over night due to renting restrictions, but they are welcome for play dates! I have three other dogs who LOVE to play. I do not have a fenced yard BUT they will be walked frequently, typically about ever 1 1/2 to 2 hours
About: Ever since the age of 10 I’ve had responsibilities for our pets; taking them out to potty, playing/exercising, cleaning up any accidents, making sure they have food and water, and bathing. I would be happy to take care of and love on your babies! I’m currently on summer break from college and dog sitting is my only job so I have plenty of time available to care for your pets. I don’t board any pets at my house, but I do go to the client’s home. I can stay over at the house if that’s what the client would prefer, or do drop-ins.

About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved animals. I think fur babies are the sweetest thing because although they’re only with you for a little of their lives, you’re with them for all of theirs. I currently have a Shih Tzu & tuxedo cat of my own named Marble who are big babies. I currently work remotely Monday-Thursday 8:30 AM-4:30 PM so I’ll be home just about the whole day with your furry ones! Potty breaks, walks, and movie nights here won’t be a problem!

About: Anyone else really wish they could pick up every stray animal? Yeah, me too.🤦♀️🤷♀️ Hi there, I'm Ariel. Lover of All Animals (minus snakes), Lint Roller Carrier, and Treat Giver. I used to do Rover around my job but I recently became a stay at home mom so I’m available most whenever to see the fur babies. Respecting pets starts with respecting owners. How do you prefer your pet cared for? Do they have any special needs? Please let me know so we can make this the best experience for your family.
About: I have raised dogs all my life. Currently my family has a large home on 5 acres. We have two, large dogs, a cat, and chickens. I am available for drop ins and boarding. I am available for feeding and/or caring for farm animals as well! I also have experience with rabbits, ferrets, and bearded dragons. If needed I can give shots and oral medication as I do have experience with this as well. I hope to see you and your pet soon! My husband and I both currently work full-time, both of us are home by 5 pm each day. My day schedule is flexible and allows me time to do drop ins when needed. When home we spend a lot of time outside. We do not have a fenced in yard, but have no problem with walking on a leash if needed. We live on 5 acres of land that allows plenty of room to run and play. If needed I can crate your pet as needed.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and currently share my home with three dogs and three cats of my own. Animals have always been central to my life, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. In addition to lifelong pet ownership, I have extensive experience in dog rescue. At one point I was actively caring for and rehabilitating 14 dogs at once, working with animals from a variety of backgrounds, temperaments, and medical needs. That experience taught me patience, strong observation skills, and how to quickly recognize changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable caring for pets at every life stage — energetic puppies and kittens, adult animals with established routines, and seniors who need extra time and compassion. I also have hands-on experience with special needs pets, including administering medications, maintaining detailed care schedules, and assisting animals with mobility challenges. Most recently, I cared for a senior pit bull with hind-end weakness who required lifting assistance to stand and walk, along with consistent medication management. Providing calm, steady support for pets who need extra help is something I truly enjoy. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine familiar and low-stress while providing dependable care, lots of affection, and clear communication so you always know how things are going at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time as a work-from-home contractor, which allows me a very flexible schedule and makes it easy to adapt my day around pet care needs. Because I’m home much of the time, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular check-ins, and reliable care throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure feeding times, walks, medication schedules, and companionship needs are met without disruption. Whether it’s short visits, overnight stays, or extended care, I’m able to adjust my routine to prioritize your pet’s comfort and consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine and environment as closely as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any specific behavioral or medical guidelines. I approach each home with respect and responsibility, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I understand the importance of trust when someone is caring for both your pets and your space, and I communicate regularly so you always know how things are going. With experience caring for animals of all ages—including rescues, seniors, and pets with special medical needs—I’m comfortable adapting to whatever level of care is required. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive care so your pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for in your absence.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lake Charles choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

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.
