About: I've loved animals my whole life. I've raised puppies and cared for senior dogs and everything in-between. I enjoy volunteering as a pet transporter for animal rescues. I own my own cleaning business. So pet sitting fits into my schedule perfectly. Some homes I clean and pet sit for as well. I love what I do. I have 5 senior cats so I prefer to care for pets in their own homes. I'm always working in different towns so this works best for me. I am trustworthy and have references.

About: I am experienced and caring pet sitter with a background in animal shelter volunteering at Acadiana Animal Aid and adoption support. Comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I take pride in keeping pets calm, cared for, and comfortable. I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent attention, timely feedings, potty breaks, and quality time with every pet. For the comfort of my cats, I’m unable to offer boarding in my home. I’m always happy to come to you instead and provide reliable, flexible care so your dog can stay relaxed in their own environment.

Allison was so kind, patient, and loving with my dog. Her care for my dog eased my nerves when asking someone else for help with my precious furry friend. Thank you, Allison!

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: Growing up on a farm, I have always had a passion for animals. My passion for dogs started with Cody when I was just 5 years old. He was a great mix breed dog who loved playing with frogs just as much as me. Throughout my life, I have cared for dogs of all sizes and various breeds. I have never not shared my home with a dog or 2 or 3. Currently, 2 Great Pyrenees and a dirt road dog fill my bed. I am also a stay at home mom to 4 beautiful children. This allows my schedule to be very flexible. I love working with dogs and would like to get back into this field. During high school, I volunteered and fostered for a local animal shelter. During college and 2 years after, I worked as a vet tech and dog groomer. My kids are 7 years old and younger therefore a flexible job that I can set my own hours is best to accommodate my family.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and compassionate pet caregiver who treats every animal like family. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I focus on creating a safe, loving, and calm environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, seniors, and those who need a little extra patience. I pay close attention to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs—whether that’s playtime, walks, or just extra cuddles. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and in good hands. My goal is simple: to give your pet the same love and care they get from you. I’m currently working a part time job but when I’m not working I love to play with animals and giving them affection. And I love helping out. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, playtime, and rest. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, while also respecting their individual personalities and needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, litter box or potty care, and any special needs like medication. I treat your home with respect and keep everything clean and organized. In both settings, I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing, and I’m always attentive to any changes in behavior or health.

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 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 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.

About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life, and nothing makes me happier than making sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained! Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, or a cozy nap, I always cater to each pet’s unique needs. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior pups who need extra TLC. I understand that every pet is family, and I treat them like my own. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or just someone to spoil them while you’re away, I’m here to help! I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide reliable and attentive care for pets throughout the day. Whether your pet needs a morning walk, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I can easily adjust to their routine.

I make sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for, whether in my home or theirs. In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep their pet happy and at ease. This includes regular feeding, exercise, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. If your pet stays with me, they’ll have two friendly dogs to keep them company, as well as a safe and welcoming environment. I also have a crate available if needed. My goal is to provide an stress-free, loving experience for every pet.

About: Hello, Furbaby Parents!!! I love and treat my furbabies like human babies...and, to me, they are. A baby is a baby. They need love, nourishment, direction, and laughter and that is what your baby will get while at our home. 🐈🐕😍 I try to only keep 1 dog at a time, in addition to our 2. I find it helps ease any new pup's anxiety if only 1 new personality is added at a time...to our melting pot of permanent characters. Lol I know that it is difficult to leave your pet with someone new but I can promise you that they will be loved, cared for and treated with the utmost respect. And they will not be kept in a kennel unless specified by you! Our home will be their new vacation spot. I hope they love to play with cats! 🐈 All rates are negotiable depending upon the situation or circumstance. I'm here to help!! I am currently taking time off to stay at home so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available 7 days a week, anytime of day or night. I have a yard and 2 friendly pups to play with your baby. I also have kitties to keep your pup entertained. Nothing but excitement over here!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Opelousas

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of June 2026, there are 186 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Opelousas. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Opelousas. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Opelousas.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
