About: I’ve had multiple animals since I was a kid and now I am 25 years old! I have dog sat and walked dogs for years. I love them and I’m happy to make your doggies happy. I work full-time Monday-Thursday but I get off around 4:00 and I am free afterwards. Friday I work til noon and Saturday-Sunday I am free all day! I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every dog in my care. I have a big yard and plenty of room for dogs to run around, play, and feel at home. I love going on walks, playing with pups, and making sure they get the attention and exercise they need. I’ll always prioritize their safety, follow their usual routines, and provide plenty of love, patience, and care. I’m happy to accommodate special needs and make sure every pup feels safe and cared for!

About: I have extensive experience with senior dogs and those that need a little extra TLC, as I took care of my baby who needed special care from time to time for her joints, so I am good with prescriptions and anything your fur baby may need. Very experienced sitting for family and friends. I have 1 pup and 1 cat here at my home, that my boyfriend and I love dearly. I would be happy to make sure your pet has the best experience with me (and all of the cuddles, of course!) I work part-time as an insurance agent for Brad Markerson State Farm, and am currently in nursing school. I can swing by your home on my lunch break if in your 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.

“Ariana was great with our three cats. Kai warmed up to her quickly. I was surprised at the other two. They usually stay away from visitors. She did every we asked and then some. She actually sat and interacted with our kitties every visit. We will definitely book her for our next trip. Thank you Ariana.”

I also appreciated that she was so generous with her time over the busy holiday season. Would definitely book again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I could remember. I’ve had numerous dogs throughout my life and i’ve taken care of all of them including cats. I go to college so I am available Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays from 12pm-7pm and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available from 1:30pm-7pm. I am also available early mornings on Saturdays! I prioritize creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet in my care! Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and playtime. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special needs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to make sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I also respect my clients’ homes and keep everything clean and organized. My goal is to treat every pet like my own and give owners peace of mind while they’re away! 🐾💕

I’ve had a dog and a cat, so I understand how important it is to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I am currently a college student working part time. I typically only work 2-3 shifts a week and I only have classes on Mondays & Wednesdays so I have more then enough time for your furry friend.

I always schedule a meet & greet so your pup can get comfortable and so we can review routines, personality quirks, and any special needs. For in-home care, I follow your instructions closely and keep doors, gates, and leashes secure at all times. I double-check locks when leaving and never allow unsupervised outdoor time. For pick-ups and drop-offs, I use safe hand-off practices so your pet is never at risk of slipping out. All pet exchanges are done outside for safety. If you would like to do a walk through of my home before booking you must schedule it in advance so I can schedule it around my bookings and family. In case of emergencies, I’m trained to handle medications, transport safely to your vet, and keep you updated immediately. I also keep backup contacts on file to make sure your pup is never without care. My goal is to create an stress-free, trusted environment where your dog feels safe and you feel confident leaving them in my care. 🏡 House-Sitting Bonus When I’m staying in your home to care for your pets, light household tasks are automatically included — such as: • Tidying up pet areas • Washing pet bowls • Taking out trash or bringing in mail • Watering plants Need more help? You can request Extended Housework Service (laundry, full cleaning, organizing, etc.) for an additional charge, which can be discussed and added at booking time.

About: Hey hey Rover!! My name is Alexandra. I just started back up after 3 years, and I worked for Rover for about 5 years before! I am an actress, singer, and bartender living out of Lafayette, LA right now. :) I have lived in Atlanta (where I started with Rover) and I am from Memphis (where I worked ALOT for Rover)! I absolutely adore animals, and I take great care in providing for their needs, and I love going for walks myself. I am very much an outdoors woman, and once the Dalmatian (Eli) that I used to babysit ran/walked 2 miles with me, I figured out how to use up a lot of that energy! :) In my opinion, dogs (well animals in general) are little personalities, all different and unique, just like you and me. I will care for what is yours as though they were my own. Would love to talk more! I currently am a freelancer/contractor, so I can absolutely make the time for babysitting with your babe! My schedule is planned out pretty far in advance, and it’s flexible. :) I have a sweet, lovely, female 4 year old Ragdoll mix kitty, and she’s the absolute sweetest! Only dogs and male cats she’s ok with! I have a great space with a backyard against a tree line so I’ll make sure your babe is on a leash if we go out! I live on the first floor as well in a very safe quant apartment building. It’s not like the normal big apartment complex.

About: ​Your fur babies deserve the royal treatment, which is exactly what they get with me! I have hands-on experience working as a Veterinary Tech, with my roots going all the way back to sudsing up pups as a bather and kennel tech. I even built my own boarding haven, Elsie’s Boarding and Spa, in loving memory of my late partner Justin and my sweet rescue pup, Elsie. When your pets are with me, you can relax knowing they’re safe, spoiled, and loved like family. My daily schedule is dedicated to pet care, giving me plenty of availability outside of my children's school drop-off and pick-up hours. Because of this routine, I can offer consistent check-ins, daytime visits, and flexible drop-off or pick-up windows to easily fit your needs. With years of hands-on experience in veterinary care and animal wellness, pet safety is always my highest priority. I have handled everything from routine bathing and coat care to assisting in surgical procedures. You can have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is in experienced, attentive, and loving hands.

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.

“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!”

Anna was absolutely amazing she goes above and beyond! She watched my two dogs from July 3–6, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was incredibly sweet, easy to work with, and made the entire process stress-free. Her communication was excellent—she kept me updated with photos consistently and responded quickly whenever I reached out, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she watches, and I came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs. I would absolutely book with Anna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and trustworthy pet sitter!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Pilette

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Pilette is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $22 per visit. 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.

As of November 2026, there are 217 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pilette. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Pilette. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.

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.
