“Loralei took good care of my two senior dogs for an extended weekend. She followed the detailed instructions I left and kept me updated after each visit. It was my first-time using a dogsitter who wasn’t a friend or family. So I really appreciated how friendly and patient Loralei was with both me and the dogs. I will definitely reach out to her if I need a dogsitter in the future.”
“I booked Blayne last minute after another caregiver fell through! Blayne took excellent care of my cat, Gracie! She followed all instructions and sent cute videos and photos of her while I was away for a wedding!! Highly recommend!”
About: My pet-sitting rule? Your dog rules the house. Everyone's like "you shouldn't let the dog on the couch"... your dog could literally take out a loan in my name if he wanted to, I'm not telling him no! Beyond being their biggest fan, I’m super experienced with all kinds of dog care needs. Whether it's managing puppy chaos with consistent training routines or giving senior dogs the extra patience, gentle care, and meds they need, I've got it handled. You'll get constant photo updates and complete peace of mind while you're away! Being a college student basically gives me the ultimate flexible schedule! I’m not stuck in an office all day, so your pet becomes my official study buddy. Between classes, my calendar is totally wide open. That makes it super easy to stick strictly to your pet's routine—whether that's midday potty breaks, morning and evening walks, or sticking to strict meal/medication times. Basically, my routine revolves around studying and hanging out with pets, so yours gets all the love, walks, and focus they deserve! When caring for pets in your home, I focus entirely on safety, routine, and respect for your space. I make sure your pet stays comfortable in their familiar environment while strictly following your guidelines for feeding, meds, and playtime. I take home security seriously, double-checking locks, gates, and windows, and I keep your living space tidy by cleaning up any pet messes or tracking right away. You can count on a spotless home, a happy pet, and plenty of photo updates while you're away!
About: I have taken care of small and large animals since I was very young. I currently work as a vet tech for my full time job, but love to look after people’s fuzzy family members in my free time! I am most free on the weekends or evenings for walks/drop ins/etc, but if you need a service outside of this time, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own home, so I enjoy being able to do visits vs care in my home. I think this goes beyond their comfort while resting in their home but also allowing them to go on walk routes they are familiar with.
“Myra is wonderful! She was punctual for drop ins and made sure my fur babies were cared for during my absence. I highly recommend Myra- her service is unmatched….we will definitely book again.”
About: Hey everyone. My name is Benjamin. I just graduated from University of Louisiana at Lafayette this past spring with a bachelors degree in Informatics - Interactive Media Technology. I do have a full time job working at Home Furniture Company with an IT Tech team. I am still fairly available after work and on weekends. I have a brand new 2020 Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec, so I am very reliable when it comes to transportation from A->B. I love all animals. I currently have 2 cats, 2 rats, and 1 leopard gecko. My dog is still in NOLA with my parents. His name is Beignet and is 13 years old. He is a Maltese-pomeranian. My favorite dog breeds are German Shepherds, Pitbulls, and border colllies. My favorite fat breeds are siamese and tabbies. I was walking a German Shepherd consistently for over a year and a half until Covid hit. Don't worry, I am vaccinated. Reach out if you think I'd be a good fit! I currently work full time 8am-5pm, but am still fairly free after work. I am usually free on the weekends unless I am out of town visiting family in Nola. I currently have an apartment with my significant other. We try not to have other animals inside since we have 2 cats. But I am always open to going to a client's home to take care of an animal.
About: I am a design student at LSU. Beyond my 7 years of experience in pet care, I grew up with and took care of 4 dogs, 2 cats, fish, and a lizard (his name is peanut). I love keeping owners involved, so you can expect photos, updates, and little moments from your pet's day while you're away. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they're part of my own family. I am currently a full time student at LSU. However, I have a flexible schedule so I will be able to work around that commitment. After years of caring for pets, l've learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs and I take the time to make sure each pet feels understood. You can expect clear communication, timely updates, and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away.
About: Thank you for clicking on my profile! I have grown up with all sorts of animals - from kittens to raccoons. I can promise your animal will always be cared for like they are my own ❤️ I will never believe in animal abuse. I stand up for what is right and will always give the animals a voice! If you have any questions, never be afraid to ask! Does your pet have a weird diet? I can work with that? Has your pet been sick but you have a trip planned for out of town? I can take care of them! No matter what, the love and support will always be there in my household. I look forward to talking to you very soon!
“Emery is the best! She has been a huge help to me while my dog needed a little more TLC recovering from a procedure. It has given me great peace of mind to know she would be checking on him while I had to be away. He’s happy, and I’m happy! Thank you, Emery!”

Whether it’s a dog walk, potty break, feeding, playtime, or cuddles, I’ll give your furry friends the attention they deserve and follow their usual routines. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and giving them the same love and care I’d want for my own! 🐶🐱 I work full-time Monday through Friday from 5:00 AM to 1:30 PM, so I’m generally available for afternoon and evening walks and drop-in visits during the week. I also have availability on weekends, depending on my schedule. I’m committed to making time for the pets I care for and will work with you to find visit times that fit your pet’s routine. I prioritize being dependable, communicating clearly, and making sure your pets receive the attention and care they deserve while you’re away! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar surroundings and routine. I carefully follow your feeding instructions, walking preferences, and any special care requests. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on your pets, and treat your home with respect. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Every pet deserves patience, attention, and loving care!
“David was amazing! He went above and beyond to make sure Nya wasn’t only comfortable but also that she enjoyed his visit. Nya is a very energetic and happy puppy and with David’s patience and extensive knowledge around canines, I was completely ok with knowing that she was in great hands! I will definitely be booking David in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m Maddie, a lifelong animal lover and proud Golden Retriever mom. I’ve raised my Golden giving me hands-on experience with daily care, training, exercise, and lots of love. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like my own by providing reliable, attentive care, plenty of affection, and updates while you’re away.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Plaquemine
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 520 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Plaquemine. 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
