“Alexis took such great care of our fur babies while we were gone for the weekend! She went above and beyond for our very high energy golden retriever puppy. I would definitely have her come stay again ❤️”
“I enjoyed having Callie watch my fur kids SO MUCH! She was professional & caring❤️ also maintained my home & when I arrived home it was clean! She made sure to give me daily updates and pictures on my long time away which was so nice. I will be booking her again for future trips I have to take out of town!! 10/10 Love her!!”
“Jenna was an excellent caregiver for our two dogs! She went above and beyond to make sure all of their needs were met, and she even got my very shy dog to open up to her. Also, our two dogs are very different! One is 30 pounds and very anxious, while the other is 120 pounds with a very friendly, energetic personality. With that said, I highly recommend her for any pet you have, large or small!”
“I couldn't of been more grateful to find Chelsea to take care of Butter and Waffles like they were her own! She made sure to give consistent updates and follow their quirky needs/schedule that put my mind to ease. I could tell my kitties were really happy with her care! ☺️ She has such a genuine heart and made sure to leave my home better than when we left which was also SO nice to come back to after a long international flight. She really went above and beyond, I would definitely book with her again! ?”
About: I grew up with a chihuahua from my childhood to my adulthood, so dogs have always been part of my everyday life. I also rescued my own dog 5 years ago and he gets the full VIP treatment like his morning walks, night walks, plenty of potty breaks, well timed meals, and lots of playtime and attention throughout the day. I truly enjoy spending quality time with dogs, keeping them active, happy, and feeling loved. I’ve also helped care for my sister’s pets, including her dogs and two cats, making sure they’re fed, comfortable, and cared for while she’s away. Dogs are honestly my happy place and my daily serotonin, they’re family to me. I treat every pet like my own, and my goal is to make sure both pets and their humans feel happy, relaxed, and confident while they’re in my care. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, or extended care. Since I’m home most of the time, I can easily accommodate different routines and time needs, including last minute requests when possible. I’m always happy to work around your dog’s schedule and will do my best to be as reliable and accommodating as possible. I take great pride in caring for my own dog and making sure he’s always clean, comfortable, and well looked after. I keep a clean, cozy home, make sure potty breaks are consistent, and ensure my dog is always warm, safe, and happy indoors. If I ever care for a dog in my home, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own making sure they feel secure, comfortable, and right at home. I truly care for dogs as if they were my family.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to calm seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and flexible to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with administering medications, training basic commands, and handling special diets. My passion is making every pet feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I dedicate specific times each day for walks, play, and feeding to ensure pets get the attention they deserve. I’m flexible with scheduling and can adjust to early mornings, evenings, or weekends to fit your needs. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a longer stay, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care I prioritize safety and comfort above all. In my home or yours, I ensure pets have a clean, secure environment where they can relax and play freely. I keep hazardous items out of reach and closely monitor their behavior to prevent any risks. I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and build trust, so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands
About: I’ve been in pet care for many years taking care of my own pets and other pets in my pre-vet collegiate career. I have background experience in agriculture and large animal care as well. I work from home so my pets are my day long coworkers! They help give me structure and a routine instead of sitting at my desk all day long. Spending time with them is always something to look forward to. I treat any animal the same as I treat my own pets. My dog is the light of my life and I know other pet parents feel the same about their own babies.
About: My experience mainly comes from caring for my own pets and family pets, including providing aftercare for injured pets by giving medications and following their recovery routines. I’m also often the person who can’t resist taking in a stray or two! I genuinely love animals and take their comfort and happiness seriously. I understand how much trust goes into leaving your pet with someone, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for with the same patience, attention, and love I’d want for my own My schedule is currently very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent and attentive care throughout the week. I’m available for daytime, evening, overnight, and weekend bookings, and I can accommodate last-minute requests. This flexibility allows me to give each pet the time, patience, and individualized attention they deserve. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own. I can provide supervised outdoor time, and I’m able to keep pets separated from my dogs if they prefer their own space or need extra comfort. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and any safety instructions you provide, and I’ll always prioritize their comfort and wellbeing while they’re in my care. At your home or mine.
“Brooklyn was absolutely phenomenal with my two adult boxers. She came to my house and house sat for a few days. And I will absolutely be using her again. She was super communicative and sent photos of my pups along the way.”

I have a dog myself, and he is very spoil. He loves to be around me. He loves when I play with him and take him for walks and car rides. I take dogs out every morning and evening.

I make sure that they are fed each day. I take them for car rides, and enjoy the outdoors.
About: Dogs are the most awesome pets to have. I love spending every free moment I have with mine Toby and Lance. They bring me happiness whenever I see them. They put me in check with what is important. I would have 20 of these little guys of my own if that would be possible. So instead I decided to become a pet-sitter and enjoy other people's pets. This also gives my dogs play time and social interaction with others. The greatest and most memorable times are the times spent with dogs. These guys deserve the best care and happiness we can provide them. So now Rover.com has provided me the opportunity to share my love for animals. You will not have any worries or doubts your will be in great hands of a responsible and attention to detail pet sitter.. Thanks for checking out my profile. I hope you book me soon for your pets!

While staying in my home they are kept on leash for any outside time to keep them safe as I don’t have a fenced in yard. Depending on the needs within a clients own home I will meet the current schedule and structure within the home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Charles
Kyra was absolutely wonderful taking care of our sweet Aspen while we were away! 🐱💕 She was incredibly reliable, attentive, communicative, and followed all of our care instructions perfectly. She kept us updated throughout the entire trip, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing Aspen was safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of love and attention. It’s obvious Kyra genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and we felt completely comfortable trusting Aspen and our home to her care. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty! 🥰 We would absolutely book Kyra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Kyra! ❤️🐾
Jenna was an excellent caregiver for our two dogs! She went above and beyond to make sure all of their needs were met, and she even got my very shy dog to open up to her. Also, our two dogs are very different! One is 30 pounds and very anxious, while the other is 120 pounds with a very friendly, energetic personality. With that said, I highly recommend her for any pet you have, large or small!
Alexis is our preferred pet sitter. She is reliable and works well with our pet. She is someone you can count on to provide excellent care for your pet. We highly recommend her and we will continue to book with her for future pet sitting. She took care of our house as well as our furry family. We truly adore her. Her son Mav is so gentle with our cat. We always enjoy having him here to be a companion to our furry family pet. Alexis and Mav are the best!!
As someone who’s only ever left my dog with family or close friends, I was incredibly nervous using a sitter for the first time, but she completely exceeded every expectation. From the start, she put all my nerves at ease with her communication and kindness. Not only did I feel completely confident that my dog was safe and well cared for, but I also trusted her in my home, which says everything. She treated both with so much respect and care. I could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and genuinely enjoyed being with her Highly, highly recommend!
I enjoyed having Callie watch my fur kids SO MUCH! She was professional & caring❤️ also maintained my home & when I arrived home it was clean! She made sure to give me daily updates and pictures on my long time away which was so nice. I will be booking her again for future trips I have to take out of town!! 10/10 Love her!!

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Lake Charles walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Lake Charles maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
