“Alexis is phenomenal with my 3 pups. I’ve been working longer hours at work and she has been an absolute blessing in helping me care for them. She is kind and proven to be very trust worthy. Thank you Alexis for caring for mine as if they were yours!”
“Bridget did great with our cats while we were out of town. She cleaned up their messes and gave our older cat her meds every day. Her communication was great, and I got pics every day! Will definitely use her again!”
“Denisha is a great sitter. She took care of our babies over the weekend and sent pics every time she went to let them out and feed them. Our babies were very content and happy with her. Great personality.”
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.
About: Pet lover! I have always had a pet in my life and have over 12 years of experience with them. I have open availability on weekends and can make time during the week with notice! I will always show them affection and care to their needs. I’ll treat them like my own! I will bring them treats and toys. We will take many bathroom breaks and make sure they are comfortable while their best friend is away. My time spent with your pet will be one hundred percent revolved around them and I will always strive to keep them safe and happy. You will be at peace while you are away from your fur friend! Open to any requests you have. I currently work at a hospital during the week, but with notice my schedule can be flexible and I can fit certain services in. Please do not hesitate to reach out! I like to meet your fur babies prior to our time together and make sure everyone is comfortable. I’ll go over what your pet enjoys and expects on a daily basis so that I can make sure they are as happy as can be while you’re away.
“Lauren is amazing!!! She was so great with all of the dogs, and they all loved her! She kept me informed with each visit and sent lots of pics. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Will definitely be using her from now on with my pups! ?”
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: 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: 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.

Caleb is a real find. She is punctual, considerate and personable. She adores her cats and that carries through to the care she gives to mine. Caleb made it possible for me to enjoy my trip knowing that my two boys were in good hands. I am definitely panning to ask her to care for them in the future.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Lake Charles is $18 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $27 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 October 2026, there are 89 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Lake Charles. 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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 99% 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
