“I highly recommend Deisha! She took amazing care of my pups and my home while I was away for five days. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dogs were happy and well cared for. When I returned home, my house was clean and my pups were relaxed and clearly loved while I was gone. Deisha is reliable, communicative, and truly cares about the pets she looks after. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”
“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 ❤️”

“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.”
“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!”
“Arionna did a great job sitting while we were out of state! We knew the dogs were being well taken care of and didn't worry at all and loved all the updates. Thank you for taking great care of them!”
“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 have over two years of hands-on pet care experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with walking, feeding, bathing, and providing lots of attention and playtime to keep pets happy and safe. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to tend to your dog and mine of my own, I’ve loved dogs since I was very little and when I was 17 I adopted my own dog, I have a very big yard and space for your pup or dog to play I can crate your dog if needed, also I have a friendly dog that welcoming to all dogs and a family that loves them I also can train your dog in many ways I’ve done it with my own
About: I have had animals since I was 6, including horses, rabbits, dogs, and cats. For about 6 years, I've been dog sitting, barn sitting, and cat sitting for family friends. I've been around multiple different animals and breeds. I am currently a full time college student on break, so I have ample time to care for pets! I always enjoy meeting new people and their pets and taking some stress out of situations of having to leave behind our pets. I won't be able to care for pets in my home, but I can help with taking care of pets in my clients' homes. I ensure food and supplements are given at proper times, and I also learn my client's preferences for the pets. I'm a firm believer in getting to know the animal and their habits so nothing goes unnoticed.
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! Mike J.

“I would recommend Sonia 100 times again! We were hesitant about having someone we didnt know in our home looking after our babies. Sonia was incredible. She came a week prior to our trip to meet us and the pups. She was professional, always punctual, she was loving to our pups and she was extremely communicative. Sending photos and updates all week long. Sonia really took her time loving on our pups and taking care of our home. If you're looking for a house/pet sitter. She is absolutely your girl!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake Charles
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!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Charles
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Charles on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 56 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Charles. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Tip: 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 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.
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.
