“My 2 poodles had a stay for the weekend, I was nervous since this was their first stay but Rachel assured me everything will be fine and it definitely was! One of my dogs got a small injury when dropping off and she was quick to jump into action and take care of it!! She kept me updated with daily pictures throughout their stay. My babies have a new best friend with Raven and can’t wait to go back!! I highly recommend her and her services & will be using her for future stays!!”

“Marisa was great! She was extremely accommodating, always trying to help make things easier for us for drop off and pick up. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and my pup definitely had fun because he has been sleeping all day. A sure sign of a good time for a one year old lab! =) it was awesome to know that he was having fun while we were away.”
“William enjoyed his stay very much. I can tell because he was in no rush to leave. He came very happy with no ill acting effects as he had had with non Rover sitters. Lauren even gave him a bath because William was out playing rough in the yard, having fun, and he got dirty. They sent constant photos and videos of his stay. Thank you Lauren.”

“Second time booking Kristin, and she was just as great this time! I also had a foster dog stay with her. She always kept me updated and sent lots of pictures and video. Plus she bathed them both and trimmed their nails before they came home!”


“Gizzmo enjoy her time with Courtney! This was our first time using Rover, Courtney really reassured me that Gizzmo would be OK and well taken care of. I did appreciate the text message updates and pictures of Gizzmo while our family was on vacation. We will definitely use Courtney again!”

“Kelly was fabulous! This was our first time using Rover and Kelly came highly recommended to us. Our 10-year old dog was well taken care of all around, and we enjoyed our vacation time so much more knowing our dog was safe, happy, and comfortable in Kelly’s home. We got photos everyday and Kelly communicated very well. Her home is clean, and because she is a dog owner, she knew how important and special our dog is to us!”


About: Hi! I’m a loving and dependable dog person with plenty of hands-on experience caring for pups with all kinds of personalities and needs. 🐶❤️ I have experience caring for dogs with allergies and special care needs, giving dog baths, and keeping up with hyperactive, high-energy dogs who need lots of attention, playtime, and patience. I’ve also spent plenty of time around Labradors, so I understand just how energetic, loving, and sometimes mischievous they can be! I’m also a proud dog owner myself and currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and will make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. 🐾 Your pets’ comfort and safety are always my top priority. 💕🐕 I work Monday–Friday from 8 AM–5 PM, but my fiancé is home at times throughout the day and can let the dogs out when needed. We also have two dogs of our own, so we understand how important it is to make sure your pup is comfortable, cared for, and never left without attention for too long. We’ll treat your dog like one of our own and make sure they get the care, love, and potty breaks they need while you’re away! ❤️🐶 We love on the back of family property so there is ample amount of space to run around and play. However we do also have a fenced in yard for the one who like to explore!
“Tyler is phenomenal! This is the second time he has watched my parent's dog, and the first time he watched my dog. He takes dogs on walks, plays with them, and is always giving you updates via text. The dogs came home very happy and you can tell they were taken care of. Highly recommended and will absolutely call him again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ponchatoula home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ponchatoula.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ponchatoula sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in LA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
