About: Recently retired teacher with a flexible schedule available to care for your furry family members while you travel or work. I’ve always been a huge animal lover and treat pets as family members. ( I also have a passion for pet photography.) I believe in regular communication throughout the day so that you can relax knowing your pets are safe and happy (I’ve been there and know how important that is!) ❤️ I’ve taken care of aging pets and know how to administer medication if needed. (As you can see from my photos, I LOVE taking pictures of your pet and sharing them with you! ). Edit: My husband recently retired so he is home and loves our furry visitors as much as I do! I’m retired and home every day so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! My husband is also home in the evenings to help if needed. While I’m new to Rover, I am not new to pet care! I will also provide you with an edited digital photo of your pet as a keepsake!❤️ I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run and play. Your pet will never be left unattended and will be given lots of love and attention. We have a laid back approach in our home and your pup will not be crated unless you request it. 🐾
About: I’m the 38 year mother of a 2 year old Dachshund and a 9 year old boy. We are a family of animal lovers and always love to have friends over! I spend a lot of time outside. The yard is not fenced in, but I’m at the end of a long and quiet road, nestled between the cul-de-sac and the woods. There are some neighborhood dogs and cats who wander around, visiting neighbor homes, and generally living their best life. I am working from home and have an extremely flexible schedule, so any visiting animals will get lots of attention and walks. The house has lots of dog toys strewn about. We are always having fun here. I have an unfenced yard, but we’re at the end of a quiet road on a cul-de-sac with woods surrounding. Small dogs will have access to the doggy door throughout the day. In addition to my dachshund August, there are many neighborhood dogs who wander and like to play together.
About: I work from home during summer months. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including feeding, walking, basic care routines, and ensuring their safety and comfort. I am comfortable with: * Small, medium, and large dogs * Feeding routines and medication reminders * Leash walking and basic behavior management * Maintaining clean and safe environments And providing photo updates throughout your stay! I am fully available throughout the summer and have flexible daytime and evening hours. I am home most of the day, so I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care as needed. I can also adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine. One dog lives in my home and I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine closely and ensure a calm, supervised, and secure environment.
“Lola, Charlie, and Hamilton all did excellent! The house is super cute and clean, they provided an extra kennel, they were flexible with our drop off and pick up time, and were so friendly and so great and caring with our pups. We appreciate it! Next time we come back to Louisiana we will use again!”
About: I have always had animals in my life. I know each one is different and special. I grew up on a farm so I know having a loving and compassionate person to care for your babies is a necessity when you have animals. I am a stay at home mom so while the kids are at school I have plenty of time to come by and play with your babies. I have a fenced in courtyard area in my home. We also have two dogs that love other dogs. One is a rescue Maltese and is 12 years old. The other is a 2 year old poodle, he is my husband's service dog so usually he is at work with my husband all day.

“Nolvia did an amazing job taking care of my two doggies. She made sure they were fed, cared for, and given lots of attention and love.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals. I’ve cared for my families dogs as a child, and my own dogs when I got older with the addition of my daughters dog. I’ve always had a mutual connection with them and cared for them like my own children. I’m all about enriching the lives of pets and their families by providing excellent pet care, peace of mind, trust and security. Nurturing the inseparable bond between a person and their 'furbaby' by enriching their relationship with love. I have a pretty open availability schedule and will try to accommodate your requests to the best of my ability depending on timing and distance. I currently do not have any dogs at my house, so they can enjoy all my attention and playtime. I also have a nice backyard that they can play and run around in. When doing a dog service at the pets home I like to get familiar with them so they can feel comfortable and be their usual sweet selves!
About: I have a standard size golden doodle and he is so affectionate so i know how it feels to leave your dog somewhere but here my goal is to provide the best at home care for your doodle/poodle. I have had a lot of trouble finding a suitable place for him because he doesn't love to be in the crate, he needs love all the time and want to be involved in everything as a family so if your dog is similar, i am the perfect match. i work from home and i dont believe in ever leaving my dog alone at home so basically i am always home to take care of your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and a standard size happy golden doodle to give company to your doodle/poodle. We have a free roaming environment at home with lots of backyard fetch and other games but can-do crate if you need. i dont like the idea of leaving my dog in the boarding day cares available because my dog doesnt feel comfortable and i dont either so i give a free home like environment with the air conditioned always running and me always availble at home. Hypoallergenic and friendly dogs only.
About: I’ve always believed pets have a lot to say—you just have to know how to listen! 🐾 I’m great with puppies and can help with potty training, routines, and all those adorable (and sometimes mischievous!) puppy moments. I’m also really good at reading pet body language and picking up on subtle signs of stress, anxiety, or resource guarding, which helps me keep everyone happy, comfortable, and safe. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets too, including giving oral medications, topical treatments. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a couch-loving senior, or somewhere in between, I’ll give them plenty of love, patience, attention, and belly rubs along the way! ❤️🐶 I’m an early riser and a stay-at-home mom, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. 🐾 I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, and plenty of cuddles. I love starting my mornings with the pups and making sure they get the care, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. My schedule also allows me to be flexible with drop-ins and accommodate your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. ❤️🐶🐱 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! 🐾 I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and cuddles. For in-home visits, I respect your home and your pet’s routine—following feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I’m also attentive to body language and behavior, so I can recognize when a pet is nervous, stressed, or needs a little extra space. My goal is simple: you should feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Ponchatoula commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 149 sitters in Ponchatoula, 92% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
