“Danny took such good care of my dog. It was our first time booking with Danny which is scary as a dog mom. I was quickly realized that Danny’s calm presence was perfect for both my pup and my nerves. He walked her twice daily, fed her, and most importantly loved on her. We love Danny”

About: I love engaging with pups and dogs with love and attention. I'm a firm believer that dogs need exercise and mental stimulation as well as affection. I have a 70 lb samoyed upstate with my family and he requires extensive exercise and playtime or else he will get bored, so I know how important it is to keep the fluffies entertained. My family has also had two cats for the past 10 years and I spent my entire childhood with at least one cat around. I’ve had plenty of experience keeping little fluffs happy and healthy. I am a current student at UCSD and an actress in the San Diego and LA area. Walking and caring for your beautiful fluff babies helps me support my education and career. I love talking about acting so if you ever have any questions, feel free to ask! Without a doubt, I can relieve you of the worry when it comes to balancing your life with that of your beloved pets. While you're busy, I will walk your dogs and watch after them for you. I love to help out in any way I can. Please Note: I am available 24/7 for the summer unless otherwise noted on my calendar. My schedule will change in September when I go back to school. I have a full time job with a schedule that fluctuates through any day of the 7 day week, however, hours are from 10AM-7PM (8PM on Fri/Sat), so my availability for care aligns with most pet’s expectations for meals and exercise. I will take notes during our initial meeting so I can follow your pet’s routine. Most animals are already stressed with their primary caretaker leaving for a trip, so I want to minimize extra stress through meticulous attention to detail in following your schedules and practices.
“Great sitter! Fast communication and replies! Took amazing care of my fur babies, sending me photos every day and updating me on their status. 100% will (and already have) book her again!”
“10 out of 10!!! She was absolutely amazing with our dog Kevin:) She stayed at the house and watched him for a week!!! She sent us updates and pictures and was great at communicating!!! Would highly recommend trusting her with your pets and I’m so thankful for Jamyriah!!💕”
About: I’ve had pets all throughout my life, everything from puppies to parrots to pot belly pigs! I’m comfortable taking care of virtually any pet, and I have experience with a variety of pet needs and safety. I work full-time, but my schedule is flexible. I’m almost always available to take care of your fur-baby, either regularly, once, or just on occasion! I live in a mid-sized apartment, and I have two cats in my home who are sweet, but shy so they probably won't hang out with your pets. I do gravity feeding for them, so your pets will be kept in the main living spaces away from their food/drinks/toys, likely with either a puppy pad and twice daily walks, depending on the service you're after. The same goes for home visitations -- I'll abide by whatever rules or requests you have to make sure your pets are happy before AND after leaving my care.
“Morgan did a great job. Our Ronin seemed calm and happy when we came home. No transition like we have experienced when he has been boarded. Thank you Morgan for taking care of our baby!”
“Trinity did an amazing job taking care of our fur babies while we were out of town! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and treated our pets and home like their own. We really appreciated the daily photo updates and peace of mind while I was away. She definitely went above and beyond. Highly recommended and will absolutely book again”

“Ethan did an awesome job taking care of my dogs and my house while I was away! He kept me updated, sent pictures of the dogs, and made being away so much easier knowing they were in good hands. I came home to happy dogs and everything in great shape. Would definitely recommend Ethan and will absolutely use him again!”
About: I have had dogs in both of my families’ homes for my entire life. I have had experience with big, medium, and small dogs. I have fostered numerous times as well! I currently work weekdays, usually early in the mornings, so I will have the rest of the days to play with your dogs! I love to go on long walks and tire the pooches out:) I currently live with three other roommates, so I can only come to your house to pet sit. But, I am very responsible and respectful towards other people’s homes, and have house sit many times!
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to hamsters, guinea pigs, and even reptiles like turtles and lizards, I offer compassionate and reliable pet-sitting services. As a pet parent to my own two cats and two dogs, alongside my caring boyfriend, I understand the importance of providing a loving and safe environment for your beloved companions. Having provided pet-sitting for my family for many years, I am eager to extend my care to your furry, scaly, or feathered friends! I’m currently only working part time as a bartender and a server at 2 different jobs. So managing my time is pretty easy considering I can request off easily in advance or get a shift covered by someone else if necessary. I reside in a spacious 3 bedroom house in Baton Rouge with my boyfriend, providing ample space for pet care. While I'm unable to host other pets in my home due to my pit bulls reactivity, I do have experience with aggressive dogs. My pets follow a strict daily schedule, maintained with my boyfriend's help. As an owner of larger breeds (Pitbull and German Shepherd), I'm comfortable handling bigger dogs, even in apartment settings, thanks to daily walks down three flights of stairs at our old place. I'm also experienced in administering medications and catering to pets with special needs, ensuring your pet receives the personalized care they require.
“I can't express enough gratitude for the exceptional care provided to our Goldendoodle by Maddie. Leaving our beloved furry family member in someone else's care can be daunting, but Maddie put our minds at ease from the very start. First and foremost, communication was seamless. Maddie was not only responsive but also proactive in keeping us updated on our dog's well-being throughout the entire stay. Regular updates and photos reassured us that our Goldendoodle was happy and thriving under her care. Reliability is key, and Maddie excelled in every aspect. Our dog was walked promptly and fed on schedule, adhering to the routine we provided. It's clear that Maddie takes her responsibilities seriously, ensuring that our dog's needs are met with utmost attention and care. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Maddie for anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated caregiver for their pets. Her genuine love for animals, combined with her professionalism and reliability, makes her a standout choice. We are incredibly grateful to have found such a wonderful person to look after our furry family member.”

About: I have cared for and owned dogs almost my entire life. I have worked in best stores and worked in conjunction with vets.

“Anika is the BEST! She made all my babies feel comfortable and took excellent care of them. She sent me a lot of pictures too! That really put my mind at ease - seeing how happy they were and knowing that Anika was there for them when I couldn't be. I 100% recommend Anika to anyone who is afraid to go out of town and leave their babies.... she is the best and your babies will love her!”
“David stayed with our pets (cat and dog) for 3 weeks while we were overseas. Now, we’ve used David before (and had NO complaints), but let’s face it, 3 weeks is a long time and Australia is a long way away. David was fantastic. We received daily photos/updates and had zero concerns while away. We left lots of detailed info and ‘what if’ plans, and David’s only feedback was ‘I love lists’. He is always open to requests and specifics without complaint. We had a wonderful trip without the stress of wondering how our babies were faring. Highly recommend David for short and long-term sits. Thank you, David!”

Eric did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and my home while I was out of town on business for a few days. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. He kept me updated throughout my trip and sent pictures of my pups, which I really appreciated. I couldn’t have asked for better care and would highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for someone dependable, trustworthy, and caring!
Tessie was one of the best sitters we’ve had from Rover. She was super accommodating to our schedule and needs. She payed close attention to Zoe’s needs and adjusted as needed. She communicated updates and how Zoe was doing and was very responsive to my requests and communications. We will definitely use her again.
Sadie was terrific with our dogs - especially our high-energy Flat-Coated Retriever. She did a great job watching them, including feeding and taking them for a walk - as well as giving them time to play in the back yard. She was very good with our retrievers - making sure that they followed their commands and behaved. She was also very flexible with our start and end times, which was very valuable to us. We highly recommend Sadie.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Old Jefferson is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $81 per night. 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.

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 Old Jefferson 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 Old Jefferson 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 Old Jefferson 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 with handling special pet needs in Old Jefferson. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
