About: I recently moved to Lafayette and do not live with any animals currently, but I grew up with cats/dogs my entire life and would love help out while I finish my degree. All my school is online so I am very flexible with my schedule and will also work nights/weekends. I’m currently full time online in school so I am very open and flexible to take care of any pets at anytime, including nights/weekends. I make sure to carefully read the instructions from the client and ensure I am doing everything that is asked. If we need to meet before hand, I am more than willing to do that as well, but I have been around animals my entire life and have never had any issues.
“Eleana was such a life saver. She was so flexible and accepted my last minute booking quickly. I received pics and updates everyday, which was wonderful. Athena was recently diagnosed with Epilepsy and we were hesitant to leave her. She received her medicine twice a day and didn’t have any issues while we were gone. I highly recommend booking with Eleana. She gave our girl lots of love.”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and other animals. While I was stationed at Fort Polk, many of my fellow Soldiers would go on leave, travel home for the holidays, or be away for training. Since I stayed in Louisiana and did not travel because I purchased my home here, I was often happy to help by caring for their pets. I would feed them, take them on walks, play with them, exercise them, make sure they had fresh water, and give them plenty of attention until their owners returned. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, breeds, and energy levels, and I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine. I am CPR certified, physically fit, dependable, and treat every animal like family. I have a spacious home where pets have room to relax and feel comfortable, and I will always make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment so you can have peace of mind while you are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. As a 1099 contractor, my hours vary, which gives me the ability to work around your pet’s needs. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, midday check-in, evening care, or overnight attention, I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. I understand how important consistency is, and I am committed to making sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment where every pet is treated like family. I am CPR certified and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. My wife and I have rescued stray cats and cared for numerous animals over the years, so we understand the patience and attention every pet deserves. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special requests you have. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving excellent care.
“Reaghan did great on her first weekend with our pack! We got lots of pictures during her stay of smiling puppies, and they and the house were in great shape when we returned. We will absolutely be booking her for future stays, our pack really took to her.”

About: I’m a caring and dependable pet lover who will treat your pets like my own! I’ve had a dog and a cat, so I understand how important it is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I am currently a college student working part time. I typically only work 2-3 shifts a week and I only have classes on Mondays & Wednesdays so I have more then enough time for your furry friend. I live in a dorm, so I offer pet care in your home, including dog walking, feeding dogs and cats, playtime, and check-in visits. I’ll treat your pets like my own!
About: I have extensive experience with senior dogs and those that need a little extra TLC, as I took care of my baby who needed special care from time to time for her joints, so I am good with prescriptions and anything your fur baby may need. Very experienced sitting for family and friends. I have 1 pup and 1 cat here at my home, that my boyfriend and I love dearly. I would be happy to make sure your pet has the best experience with me (and all of the cuddles, of course!) I work part-time as an insurance agent for Brad Markerson State Farm, and am currently in nursing school. I can swing by your home on my lunch break if in your area, or can make your pet my first priority after hours. I care for my own pets as of right now, but I give them baths regularly, make sure they are brushed, and only feed them the most nutritious options out there. My boyfriend and I will take them on walks at Moncus Park, etc. I have taken care of many friend’s and family’s fur babies, and would love to give your baby extra attention and love.
About: Hi! I'm Maria, and I live in Carencro. I offer a cozy, peaceful home with a fully fenced yard for comfort and safety. I've had dogs my whole life, and in recent years I've been educating myself through courses and reading about canine health, training, and behavior. For over ten years, I've been a trusted caregiver for friends and family, especially for small dogs. Here's what your dog will find here: • A safe, fenced yard for quick potty breaks and sunbathing (under supervision) • A calm, chaos-free indoor environment — perfect for lap dogs, seniors, and puppies • Plenty of couch cuddles, patience, and an established routine • Dogs who need space can rest in a cozy, separate area without any pressure to play • Daily updates with photos and videos I know every dog is different, so I stick to the routine they have at home. I'd love to meet your best friend! I work 4 to 6 hours a day; the rest of the time, I am at home. I always take them out to the yard before I leave, and I make sure they have food and water. When I return, I take them out to the yard again, and we go for a walk, following our established routine. They usually stay indoors, except for morning and evening walks and bathroom breaks in the fenced yard, which last approximately 30 minutes, three times a day. The dogs eat according to a schedule set by the owner, and they have the freedom to move freely around the house and lie down wherever they want. I have a medium-sized mixed-breed dog who usually ignores other dogs and sometimes plays with them if he likes them.

About: 💗 30+ Years Experience | Pet Lover & Rescue Mom 💗 About Me: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on pet care experience. From seniors to puppies, shy cats to sassy small breeds—I’ve cared for them all with patience, love, and genuine joy. I live with a small crew of rescues who remind me every day why I do this. Meet my furry family: 🐾 Sadie – my 17-year-old gentle senior pup who’s full of wisdom and love 🐾 Harley – a 9-year-old tuxedo cat with a flair for the dramatic and a heart of gold (even if he pretends otherwise) 🐾 Nemo – my 7-year-old Pomchi with a signature pout and a heart that melts for cuddles 🐾 Marley – a 5 lb Chi and the definition of a momma’s boy, always by my side Each of them came to me as a rescue, and their individual personalities have taught me how to tune into an animal’s needs—whether it’s a slow introduction, a cozy nap buddy, or just the right way to scratch behind the ears. I specialize in senior care, shy or anxious pets, and multi-pet households. I’m comfortable with all sizes and temperaments, and I treat every pet as if they were my own—because I know how important they are to you. What you can expect when your pet is with me: ✅ Calm, loving environment ✅ Personalized care based on your pet’s needs ✅ Medication administration (oral/injectable if needed) ✅ Regular updates and photos ✅ Deep understanding of pet body language & behavior Whether you’re headed out for a weekend or need a daily drop-in, you can feel confident your pet is in capable and compassionate hands.

I have a flexible job that allows me to schedule check-in visits throughout the week, so I’m available for midday potty breaks, feedings, or quick play sessions. I’m also free most weekends and happy to help with your pet care needs when you’re away! Safety & Trust Come First—In Your Home or Mine Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, their comfort, routine, and safety are always my top priority. 🏠 In My Home: 🐾 Calm, pet-friendly space with constant supervision 🐾 Safe, secure, and clean environment—no hazards or crowded areas 🐾 Slow, thoughtful introductions to my own friendly rescue pets 🐾 Comfortable areas for seniors, small breeds, and nervous pets 🐾 Personalized care for puppies, kittens, and special needs pets 🐾 Experience with oral meds, eye drops, topical treatments, and some injectables (with instructions) 🚪 In Your Home: 🏡 Respectful, responsible care in your pet’s familiar environment 🔒 I follow your safety protocols: gates, crates, feeding routines, meds 🐕 I never rush—each visit includes time for cuddles, play, and proper care 📸 You’ll receive regular photo updates and check-ins for peace of mind 🩺 Experienced with senior and special needs pets—mobility issues, incontinence care, anxiety, or routine-based behavior needs 🍼 Confident with young puppies and kittens, including feeding schedules, socialization, and extra clean-up care With 30+ years of experience, I’ve learned how to tune into each pet’s unique needs and provide care that’s not just safe—but truly loving. Whether you’re heading out for a few hours or a full vacation, you can trust your pets are in good hands.
“Ione was absolutely fantastic with my 12-year-old Yorkie, Lily Marie. I was traveling from California for my graduation at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I needed someone to stay with Lily in our hotel suite while I attended the ceremony at the Cajundome. From start to finish, I felt completely comfortable leaving Lily in Ione's care. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Ione was responsive, transparent, and flexible, coordinating everything in advance, including scheduling a meet-and-greet upon my arrival in Lafayette. She met us at Girard Park, took the time to get to know Lily, and made us feel comfortable right away. On the day of the booking, Ione arrived at the hotel on time and stayed with Lily for the whole scheduled period. During the stay, Ione sent frequent updates and photos that clearly showed her attentiveness and care. Lily settled in very quickly, hardly cried at all, and became comfortable almost immediately. Several of the updates showed Lily lying comfortably in her dog bed, resting on Ione's jacket, and rolling over for belly rubs. By the end of the visit, Lily was fully settled and relaxed, which was especially reassuring given that she was in a new environment. Knowing that Lily was calm, safe, and receiving personal attention allowed me to focus on my graduation without stress. I truly appreciated Ione's reliability, patience, and genuine care for Lily. I would absolutely book with Ione again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive sitter, especially for house-sitting or hotel stays. Thank you so much, Ione. Emmanuel R.”

“What can I say, Jada was amazing! She house-sit and took care of Margo and Maye Maye 'which is a handful' She kept us updated with pictures and videos daily. On our next trip, Jada will be our first call”

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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Maurice is $52 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $59 per night.

As of October 2026, there are 114 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Maurice. 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 Maurice 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 Maurice 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 Maurice 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 , 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 .
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 .
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.
