“We love Danielle, but more importantly, Marigold, Milo, Bella, Enzo, and Gia love her too! They all said she was fun, gave them lots of attention, and took the time to get to know them all. We just got home from a 10-day trip, and they’re all spoiled rotten, and asking for Danielle. She was also great with dripping faucets for an unexpected freeze, watering plants, and other freeze prep tasks. She sent great pictures! OMG! We laughed til we cried, seeing our silly babies trying to con treats from her. We 100% recommend Danielle for your precious animal friends and babies. We felt really safe and comfortable with her in charge.”

“Uriah has been a huge help for me checking in on the dogs while I’m at work! She is reliable and does a great job keeping me updated throughout the day! Would recommend her for your pet needs.”

About: I’ve taken care cats, dogs, and birds since I’ve been about 3 years old. I am currently a vet technician and I have 2 dogs and fours cats. They all get along together. I have a 60lbs husky and a 8lbs chiweenie who get along great and loves cats. I do offer nail trims and baths as well. I am very good at nail trims. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I have worked in professional places that do both animal care and boarding. I know the signs to look out for if needed. I have been medicating dogs and cats for the past three years. If any emergency was to rise then I know exactly where both emergency clinics are. I know that you’ll get the best care for your baby and that you’ll get updates daily from them. I’ll let you know how they are doing everyday, you’ll get a picture of them so you’ll be able to see for yourself that they’re having a blast. I work Monday- Friday 8-5. I get a lunch break from 12-1, and go home to let my dogs out to potty and get a little exercise before heading back to work for 1:30. I get off at 5 and go home and take care of my pets. I feed them all and of course let them out to go potty and get some exercise. I am off on the weekends, and I stay at home so it wouldn’t no problem to have a few fur babies over. I don’t have a new fence quite yet but I do walk the dogs frequently and let them play together inside and outside ,I have two dogs, two husky mixes who loves to play with other doggie. They both do get along with cats as I have 4 and my fourth one and my husky are absolutely the best of friends. I can go to a home if need be. I am vet technician. So I am well equipped to handle any kind of emergency situation. If your baby needs daily medications I know all the ways to give it safely. I am very good with nervous babies. I make sure that any pet that I watch does have their vaccines. If a Pet doesn’t have their vaccines then I will not watch them with other dogs. It would have to be in their home instead. I want to make sure everyone is safe. I do offer baths, and nail trims as well. I also offer a bit of grooming. Nothing professional but I can do simple trims, etc.
About: I would humbly refrain from making the statement that I am better than my counterparts, as that is not for me to judge. I will say that I am an incredibly caring and empathetic individual, and that translates well to how I operate animals as well as people. I grew up with dogs and cats inside of my home, and I was always very attentive to them in terms of playing, petting, feeding, and making them feel cared for. My experience as a sitter only spans about a year altogether, but as a mother of human children, I understand the responsibility that comes with monitoring and caring for any member of someone else’s family. Animals are never excluded in that💙 I have two children, one of which is in daycare and the other in grade school. During the summer months, my availability would be from 7AM to 5PM, as I’d have to pick my youngest up from daycare by 5:30PM. From August to May, my availability would be 7:30AM - 5PM, as this would grant me time to drop my oldest off to school before beginning a day’s work. At the moment, I can only offer care in the home of clients, as my landlord does not allow pets to be present on the premises. Having said this, I am flexible in the number of services I am willing to offer in the home of clients. I want each individual to feel confident in the care their pet is receiving while they are away. I will do what I can to ensure this is the case 💙
About: I've been in love with animals all my life. They were deep childhood friends and I feel a special bond with them. I grew up on a hobby farm and in 4-H. I am now a retired RN, and I'm enjoying being surrounded by animals again. I have taken care of domesticated cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and gerbils, guinea pigs, and birds. Any animal needing help or love grabs my heart. It is my goal to give this love to your cherished companion when you are gone. I also know how hard it can be for you to be separated from your pet, and am very conscientious about sending updates, pictures/videos and communicating anything else that needs to be communicated. I am working part time, and have afternoons, evenings and weekends available. I am hoping to build up a regular client base and have more time available soon. I live in a small home so I prefer to take care of your loved ones in your home. I am able to overnight: house-sitting, cleaning, and pet-sitting. I have plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and play-time on the days I am working, and welcome all-day care in your home on my time off. I am situationally aware and keep an eye on the environment at all times when walking your pup and playing, as well as on any potential escape routes or hazardous items if eaten or drunk. I am very respectful of your pet's space and routine and take my time to sense in to what will make them feel the most loved, the safest, and the most comfortable while you are gone. I am a reliable communicator regarding anything with your home or your pet that would require your attention.
About: I’m very driven and compassionate for animals. I am an event coordinator for the Ragin Rescue cat organization on ULL’s campus. I love all furry friends and hope to befriend lots in my lifetime I’m a full time ULL student, and work a part time job. I’m finished with classes every week day by 2, and work tuesday, & thursday through saturday from 3-8. Sundays i work from 9/11-2PM. I feed and change the litter for my own cats. I often walk my own dogs, and ensure they are not anxious and feel comfortable before myself.
About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember. My family has rescued, adopted, and bought animals of all kinds. We have chickens, ducks, and bunnies. I’ve raised my current dog(goldendoodle) from a seven week puppy, and I’m also currently helping raise a orphaned kitten. I have experience with dogs with disability’s and injuries as well. My shih tzu(family dog) went through a hard journey before us finding him. When we rescued him, he was injured and needed a delicate hand. I nurtured him back to health, and he is doing better than ever now living his best life in the country. I currently only work a part time job that’s under 10 hours a week, so I’ll have plenty of time to spoil and spend time with your furbabies when you are away😊 I can assure you that your furbaby will be as safe as possible whenever he or she is under my care. I have no problem if they need extra attention, extra instructions to care for them, etc. Whatever they need, we will work something out to make sure they are as safe and happy as possible.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up after them, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving plenty of attention, love, and reliable care while they’re away. 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to pet care and ensure each pet receives the attention they deserve. I make it a priority to follow their regular routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication schedules if needed, and plenty of affection. I understand how important consistency is for animals, so I always make time to provide reliable care, companionship, and a comfortable environment while their owners are away. My goal is to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved, no matter how long they’re in my care. I am comfortable caring for pets in either their own home or mine, depending on what works best for the pet and their owner. In a pet’s home, I make sure to maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure in a familiar environment. If caring for them in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and loving space where they can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention. No matter where they’re staying, I treat every pet like family and make their well-being, comfort, and happiness my top priority.
“Olivia has done multiple drop in visits for me and my dogs while we are in town for hurricane relief work. We currently stay in a hotel about an hour away from work and work from the early morning till evening time. Olivia’s drop in visits has given us peace of mind knowing our dogs get to go potty, get a drink of water, and have a treat when she gets there in the middle of the day. We are so thankful we found a sitter that has been understanding, responsive, and flexible throughout the whole process. We are just sad we will be moving on to a different city soon and will have to find a different sitter. Thank you Olivia for all you have done for us!”

“Layken has been great with my pup, Olive! Olive can be a stubborn dog but Layken handled it wonderfully. She was always great with communication and flexible when I needed her to come earlier than usual on short notice. Would definitely recommend her!”

“I highly recommend Tenashia to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter. Their dedication and love for dogs are truly unmatched, and I will definitely be booking their services again in the future. Thank you, Tenashia, for taking such wonderful care of Ruger and Willow!”

About: I live a very active lifestyle (running and hiking are my primary hobbies) and most of my time spent with your dog will reflect that. Lots of play time! I have a 3 year old border collie who loves making new friends. Great for energetic dogs whose owners’ schedules aren’t flexible enough to take them out and burn their excess energy! Also able to accommodate dogs who are shy/nervous and need a quieter environment or one without other animals. even available for the holidays! Happy to care for dogs big and small, young and old. I can’t wait to meet my new furry friends! Available for boarding any time- I am available for walks and drop-ins after 5pm on weekdays. Likely available for all holidays as well if you’re out of town! I have a fenced in yard and an active dog to keep yours company! I can also keep them separated if you prefer as well.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for most of my life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around animals and pet sitting for friends and family from a young age gave me a strong foundation in providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, including feeding, walking, administering medications, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take pride in following instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure. As the owner of a reactive and anxious Labradoodle and a strong-willed Golden Retriever mix, I have firsthand experience working with dogs that require extra patience, awareness, and positive reinforcement. I’m familiar with clicker training techniques, leash reactivity management, and creating calm, positive experiences during walks and visits. Whether your pet needs exercise, attention, medication, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I give my own pets. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have time for early morning or evening drop-ins during the week and open availability on weekends. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand the importance of following routines, administering medications correctly, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. As the owner of an anxious, reactive dog, I’m experienced in handling pets who need extra patience and attention. I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own, and I’ll keep you updated throughout every visit for added peace of mind.
“Destiny was an amazing dog sitter for my children’s pups! Her check-ins were consistent and effective for daily interactions with the pups. She communicated very well throughout the scheduled drop in visits. I would highly recommend Destiny for any future dog sitting opportunities!”

About: Hi! My name is Shayna Malonson, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals—especially dogs. I grew up with dogs my entire life, and now as an adult with my own home, I’m lucky to have two of my own: Ally (4 years old) and King (2 years old). They are a huge part of my daily life and have taught me so much about responsible, loving care. I personally bathe my dogs, brush their teeth, and handle their basic grooming after learning how to properly care for them myself. Through experience—especially managing my older dog’s dry skin—I’ve learned a lot about different dog food brands, skin-care products, and overall dog wellness. This has helped me become very attentive to each dog’s individual needs. In my free time, I enjoy playing fetch, going on simple walks, and giving my dogs plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home often and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to plan feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest periods without rushing. I build my day around the dogs in my care, making sure they receive regular supervision, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning and evening routines, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m flexible and dependable. I enjoy keeping pets on a steady schedule so they feel comfortable and secure I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated like family and are always supervised. I make sure the space is clean, pet-safe, and free from hazards, with plenty of room for rest, play, and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with basic grooming care such as bathing and brushing, and I pay close attention to skin sensitivity, diet needs, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended outside. Trust and communication are very important to me. I provide updates, photos, and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Opelousas on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
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.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
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.
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.
