She went above and beyond everything I needed from her. Took amazing care of my cat, who is typically very shy but warmed up to her almost instantly. Highly recommend her and will be using her again if needed :)!

About: I am a calm caregiver who is great with anxious dogs and rescue pups! I have 6 years of experience with senior dogs (large and small), medication administration, and special diets. I am currently self employed, making my our schedule. I am able to build my schedule around your pets’ needs, whether that is during the week day or weekend. When petting sitting at clients homes, I make sure to leave the house just as clean as when the client left. I believe it is important to treat others homes and animals with the respect and care of my personal home and pets.

About: I've had the pleasure of owning two dogs and one cat throughout my life, and I've grown up around a wide variety of dog and cat breeds. Because of that, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. One thing that sets me apart is that my current dog is a show dog. Caring for a show dog has taught me the importance of maintaining a consistent routine, paying close attention to grooming and overall health, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet day of cuddles, I'll provide patient, attentive care and treat them as if they were my own. I'm currently in between careers, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your dogs and/or cats. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings whenever possible. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a relaxing walk, or just some extra love and attention, I'll make sure they receive the care they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I make it a priority to stick to it. I'm experienced with crate training, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and accommodating dietary restrictions, as my own dog follows a structured routine. Whether your pet requires medications, extra patience, or specific instructions, I'm happy to follow your care plan exactly as requested. I also have reliable transportation, so I'm happy to take your dog on a field trip to a local park, trail, or other pet-friendly location if you'd like. In both my home and yours, I strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I'm also flexible and understand that emergencies happen, so I'll do my best to accommodate last-minute changes or unexpected situations whenever possible.

Brittnee was absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of our two cats while we were gone. She was responsible, dependable, and very attentive to our animals and their needs. We received frequent updates on their care and she gave us peace of mind leaving our cats in her keeping. We will definitely be booking Brittnee again for any of our future trips! She’s the best!

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. My father has owned and operated a dog related business for over 15 years, and I grew up helping him with the daily care and responsibilities that come with working with dogs. I currently work part time as a kennel technician at Hickory Small Animal Hospital in Ponchatoula, where I help care for pets staying in the boarding facility. This experience has made me comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and individual needs. I also have extensive experience with horses and regularly help care for horses and assist with barn responsibilities for several owners. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I strive to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while making sure every animal feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority. I also work part time, but I am able to plan my schedule around bookings and make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of outside time. I also have a friendly dog of my own who can provide some company and playtime! I am always happy to follow each owner’s preferences and routines to make sure their pet feels as comfortable and at home as possible.

Chuck was wonderful! It was our first time using a dog walker since we got our puppy. Chuck volunteered to come and meet our dog prior to his first drop-in free of charge which was wonderful for the dog and his parents! :) We will be using him again in the future 100%!

About: Animals have always been the center of my world, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to care for just about every kind of pet, from bouncy puppies and cuddly kittens to gentle seniors who just need a little extra patience and love. I also have experience with training and even dog showing, which taught me the importance of consistency, communication, and building trust with every animal. More than anything, I believe every pet deserves kindness, attention, and to feel like part of the family, so when they’re with me, that’s exactly what they’ll get. I am currently working part time and have some extra time to offer my services that i haven’t been able to recently. I only work a few hours mid day so i can take on just about any animals! My pets are already a huge part of my daily life from feeding, training, walking, enrichment etc. I can offer personalized care for each pets specific enrichment needs! I have a fenced in yard with safety latches for as much safety as possible. I live in a safe calm neighborhood with amazing neighbors.My whole house is designed around animals. We have a specific dog room and a cat room with safety gates etc to keep pets separate if needed and we have multiple wire kennels. We also have car kennels for safe traveling to any activities your pets would like!

About: I’ve owned animals all of my life, and currently have 2 dogs of my own, one which I adopted as an older rescue. I spent several years working as a vet assistant, which included walking and taking care of boarded animals. I also have no problem administering medications as needed. I am also a former marine animal caretaker, at the New Orleans aquarium (10 years). I use this app to have my dogs walked if needed, and I’d be happy to do the same for anyone in my area. I work from home 3 days a week, so I could also pet sit in my home for the day! I would love to walk your dogs, take care of your cat, or even dog sit for the day in my home most days of the week (S,M,W,F,S). I’m also available for dog walking and drop-in visits on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I have a large fenced yard where your baby can run, a kennel inside only if needed, otherwise they will be cool and comfy with me and my fur babies inside. My dogs welcome other dogs, and they would have a great time under my supervision. I would be home the entire time your dog(s) are visiting.

You will not find a more loving or caring sitter for your pets!! Sarah is perfect! She goes above and beyond to make sure that not only are your instructions are followed, but she also makes sure that each and every pet feels loved. I've no doubt that she treats the animals under her care just as she does her own!

We generally don’t need this service often but Chuck showed up and was able to relax and bond with our 100lb GS. Thank you Chuck for helping us out and being an absolute professional. I actually think our boy misses you. We’ll be reaching out to you and this service more often.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ponchatoula on Rover is $33.3 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 499 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ponchatoula. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ponchatoula stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Ponchatoula. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
