“Rosie is amazing! She took such good care of my girl and worked much harder than she had to to gain her trust. She sent tons of pictures, had excellent communication and kept me updated the whole week. My dog is not an easy one but she handled her like a pro!”
About: I’ve spent the past year and a half immersed in the world of dog training, where I gained hands-on experience and a deep appreciation for the power of positive reinforcement. I’m also certified in K9 CPR, ensuring I’m prepared for any emergency. Today, I’m proud to be a dedicated team member at Woof’s Play and Stay, where my passion for dogs is more than a job—it’s truly my way of life. While my schedule at Woof’s keeps me busy, I always make time to provide dedicated care for your pets. Their well-being is my top priority. I have years of experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and abilities—including those who are deaf, blind, or even tripod. Providing them with compassionate, individualized care is always my top priority.
“Leaving our home and our dogs with someone we didn’t know was honestly terrifying—but Lauren quickly put every fear to rest. As a first responder family, trust and reliability mean everything to us, and Lauren exceeded every expectation. Our pups, Boujee and Challa, have a combined weight of over 170 lbs, and Lauren handled them with total confidence and care. While we were in New Orleans, they were clearly happy, relaxed, and genuinely loved, which allowed us to truly enjoy our time away. Lauren is no longer a stranger to us—she’s someone we fully trust with our home and our pups, and we absolutely plan to use her again for future getaways. We couldn’t recommend her more highly. 🐾❤️”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I often watch my friends’ pets when they travel, and I really enjoy walks, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I already have a pretty consistent routine with work and daily life, so I plan pet care around that. I’m flexible with mornings, evenings, and weekends, and I make sure I always have enough time to properly care for each pet. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I handle feeding, fresh water, walks or litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special care needs, while also keeping the home tidy and secure
About: I have done drop in visits, farm sitting, dog grooming, equine care, and taken care of many animals. I have at least 10 references. Love all the animals and will treat them with love and respect. I own a mobile dog grooming business so can make my own schedule. I have my farm animals but I have help from family to care for mine when I’m needed elsewhere. I prefer to let the animals be in their own home as they seem less stressed knowing they will be where there family will be coming back to. They have their comfortable spots and smells and doesn’t disrupt their routine but if necessary I could care for them at my home. Would walk smaller dogs on leash outside or have outdoor pens for larger dogs to get to run.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Pauline is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pauline
It was amazing to have Jenna to help with our Baby Girl while we were out of town. Super kind and loving! Our dog got very depressed without us home and Jenna helped her warm up with so much love. It was also so nice to get daily pictures of Baby. I will definitely be using Jenna again if we need to be away from home. THANK YOU!!
This was the first time we had someone dog sit in our home. It was the best decision we made for our little guys. Brent gained the trust of all 3 of our guys quickly. He kept us informed which allowed us to enjoy our vacation because we knew our guys were being well taken care of. We will definitely reach out to Brent again.

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 Pauline 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 Pauline 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 Pauline 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.
