“Lauren did a great job staying with our dog! She arrived on time, sent updates, and used patience to befriend our shy dog. When we returned home the house looked great and our dog was happy. Would definitely hire Lauren again.”
“Tenaisha took a really good care of our dogs. She’s sweet and very easy to communicate with. I’ll definitely book her again in the future when we’re out of town.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my entire life and have always loved caring for and spending time with animals. I currently have a cat of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us and how important it is to find someone you can trust with them. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs while they were away, including overnight stays. Whether your pet needs playtime, walks, cuddles, meals, or simply some company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! 🥰 I work Monday–Thursday, so my availability is mainly in the evenings and on Fridays and weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can plan ahead for drop-ins, walks, or overnight care. I’m especially flexible on Fridays and weekends and will always communicate my availability clearly when booking. I’m very respectful of my clients’ homes and will always treat them as I would my own. I’m comfortable following specific instructions and routines, and I’ll make sure your pet has everything they need while you’re away. Additionally, I will keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands!
“Tylyn made a stressful, emotionally-draining family medical trip 100% worry-free when it came to our fur babies. Coming home to happy dogs and an even cleaner house proves that she’s great at what she does and truly loves animals! We’re very grateful for her and will happily book her in the future.”
“This was my first time leaving my pets with a house sitter, and Amanda was great! Very kind, sent lots of updates, and even tidied my house before I got home. She gave my dog his flea meds with no problem. I was grateful to have some peace of mind that my dog and cat were taken care of.”
“Danielle was attentive, kind and patient with my pups. I have an elderly dog and a rescue who is very skittish. Danielle took the time to make sure they were each comfortable and made sure to keep me updated while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Stephanie was amazing with my baby girl. Stephanie is very patient and truly cares about animals. She even brought my baby girl a new toy to help with any separation anxiety. I will definitely continue to use Stephanie for walks and house sitting.”
“Savanna was amazing. My dog doesn't like most people, but she took up with Savanna right away. Savanna was prompt, thorough, and so nice. She sent pics to make me feel close, and left my house tidy and organized. She is the best!”
About: I’ve done foster care for kittens in the shelter, I’ve taken care of cats,dogs,pigs,guinea pigs,bunnies ECT. I have taken care of special needs animals, administering medication as needed. I change litter, give fresh water everyday and feed as directed. Will take dogs out for walks as directed and follow instructions provided I work two and a half hours on Thursday morning . I’m able to do day care in your home , drop in visits and I can stay In your home for extended periods of time if needed. I have a bunny named Howie who is very spoiled and litter box trained, I have a cat named Maggie Lynn who is a beautiful diva, and I board my daughters dog and cats while she’s at work so I can’t bring any animals to my home because my daughters dog is territorial.
“Olivia was a wonderful pet sitter for our three pets, including one old dog with lots of meds to keep track of. We were so thankful to find her and will be using her again in the future.”
About: I am experienced and caring pet sitter. I work as a canine caretaker at Acadiana Animal Aid and adoption support. Everyday i am working with different dogs with completely different personalities and medical issues. I am 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.
“Jaedynn did an amazing job caring for my potty training 5-month-old puppy. She’s the first to care for him apart from me and my husband, and cared for him as her own. I appreciated that she was patient with him and even took him on adventures! She was also very timely with updates and pictures of cuteness! We definitely plan to be repeat clients.”

I live in an apartment with a dog park so I can bring your pet if needed but I typically like to keep them in their own environment.
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I could imagine all my friends and family would call me and ask me to watch their animals while they were away. I’ve just graduated so I’ll will have plenty of time to walk and play and care for your animals i’m available every week and weekend. I will make sure your animal has food and water every day and goes to the bathroom and I will play with them between the scratches and the toys. They will have the best time of their life.
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.
About: I’ve always been someone to care for pets of my loved ones. I have both a pitbull and a tabby cat. I have experience mainly with larger dogs but am open to learn! I’m currently working minimal hours so would be open for multiple trips of feeding/walking. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, or playing. I can do basic hours excluding Sunday. I am very comfortable working with others to make appointments in their home. My goal is comfort and respect not only for your pet but for you as well.
About: I have a 10 year old Boxer back home where I am from, in Lecompte, LA, who needs special care from time to time for her joints, so I am good with prescriptions and anything your dog may need. I have 2 pups here at my home, that my boyfriend and I love dearly. I would be happy to make sure your dog has the best experience with me (and all of the cuddles, of course!) I work full-time at State Farm, for Blake Johnson in Carencro. I can swing by your home on my lunch break if in that 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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Ossun
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 116 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Ossun. 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 Ossun 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 Ossun 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Ossun 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 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.
