“Susan's house is Teddy's "home away from home." Susan takes such wonderful care of him. He's 18 1/2 years old and needs medication. Susan is so loving and keeps me updated. I don't know what I'd do without her!”

“Jairo boarded our dog in his home while we were traveling over the weekend. He and his wife were very attentive to my dog’s needs, and treated her like their own. We received cute photo updates of her cuddled on the couch, sunning on the patio, playing with their dog, and enjoying evening walks. Jairo is very experienced and patient with dogs and is a natural at reading dog behavior and providing safety and comfort in his home. We even had a couple of meet and greets to discuss my dog’s personality ahead of the trip and to ensure my dog got along with his animals. He appropriately introduced his animals to mine, and it gave us reassurance that our dog would be in good hands. Everyone became fast friends! She was so spoiled and loved! Highly recommend Jairo and will definitely be booking again! 🐶”

“She was great. We have 4 cats, youngest being about 3 months, oldest being 18. Their personalities range as far as their age. Even our big scaredy cat came around to her. 100% recommend, and would book again if needed.”

About: I've been blessed to foster more than 20 dogs over the past couple of years. I know training basics, have a big backyard, and currently have two of my own dogs who love to play. I am currently not working so I am free the majority of the time. This allows there to be little to no crating required during the day. I have a large fenced in backyard for free play and zoomies. Inside I have dog beds and toys and a lap for cuddling. My two dogs are friendly and have had plenty of exposure to other dogs through my fostering.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my entire life, and my love for animals is at the heart of everything I do. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every dog and cat in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I have experience caring for puppies, adult pets, senior pets, and elderly or disabled dogs that require extra patience, compassion, and specialized care. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking companion, medication reminders, gentle assistance, or simply lots of affection and reassurance, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs, Sweetnezz and Sugar, and my cat, Meow. Caring for them every day has taught me the importance of consistency, trust, and creating a calm, happy environment. When you entrust your furry family member to me, you can have peace of mind knowing they’ll receive dependable, loving care and plenty of attention. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable, confident, and cared for every step of the way. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a walk, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, medication, or just some extra love and companionship, I have the time to give them the attention they deserve. Caring for animals has always been a part of my daily life. As a proud pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m passionate about helping both pets and their owners by providing loving, reliable care and treating every dog and cat as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pet is receiving the same compassion, patience, and attention I’d want for my own Sweetnezz, Sugar, and Meow. I provide loving, dependable care in the comfort of your pet’s own home, where they feel the safest and most relaxed. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help reduce stress and keep them happy while you’re away. My services include feeding, fresh water, treats (with your approval), walks, potty breaks, playtime, companionship, administering medications if needed, and plenty of love and attention. I’ll also make sure your pet gets the exercise, affection, and care they deserve while keeping you updated with messages and photos for extra peace of mind. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and provide personalized care. My goal is to make sure your furry family member feels safe, comfortable, and loved until you return home.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for a very long time you can even say my whole life. I’ve raised cats, dogs, birds, chinchillas, even a chameleon from babies to adults. I’ve potty trained many puppies, taught them tricks, and even cared for pregnant mommas with puppies. Cats are more of my specialty though i’ve litter box trained them, taught them to walk on a leash, tamed feral cats/kittens. I also volunteer from time to time at the Acadiana Animal Aid shelter helping care for cats/dogs in need of homes. I’m currently working full-time. I work an 8 hour day normally from 8 am - 5 pm, my hours are flexible though. I also have a 1 hour lunch I can take. I’m completely free most weekends. I have a mostly fenced yard where my dog Huck loves to play, it is a little small but we make do with the space we have. My dog and cats gets fed twice a day morning/evening. If I’m caring for an animal in a clients home I can visit in the mornings/lunch/evenings depending on the care needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lawtell home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lawtell.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Lawtell sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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 .

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in LA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
