About: Hi! My name is Sumer and I am first and foremost, an animal lover! My professional pet care experience began as a kennel tech for a major boarding facility 8 years ago. Here, I assisted in caring for boarding clients, managing day care clients, and assisting in grooming and training of all animals in our care. I love that with Rover, I am able to provide individualized care for your pets! Since I only take a few clients at a time, I’m able to focus all of my energy on helping your dog feel safe, loved, and successful while you are away. When I care for your pet, I want to maintain their routine with you as much as possible. Through my professional experience, I have gained skills working with a wide range of behaviors, so I am confident that I am able to safely manage even the toughest of behaviors in your dog. I personally own two dogs that really struggle in boarding, so at home care with trusted pet sitters is essential for me! When I care for your pet, I care for them like my own. I’m happy to give them what they need to be happy, successful, and loved until you return! If boarding in my own home - dogs must be comfortable in a kennel! I have an intact male dog, a senior dog, and a cat. To keep the peace with new guests, we rotate dogs in and out of the crate to give everyone adequate one on one time. This ensures that everyone has their own needs met and ensures that I can keep my own dogs comfortable as well. When scheduling, I build my day to day around your pets schedule to meet their needs and keep their routine similar as much as possible. Both of my personal dogs have drastically different needs and personalities, just like yours will. I base the care provided off of what your pet needs. If your pet is used to long walks and hours of play time, that’s what we’ll be doing. If they need a quick potty break and couch snuggling time while they miss their owners, I’m happy to step in.

About: I am a veterinary student at LSU with a lifelong love of animals and over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for all kinds of species. I offer reliable pet sitting. I’m also comfortable administering medications and supplements as directed. I know how important it is to leave your animals with someone you trust, and I’ll care for each of them as if they were my own! As an LSU veterinary student, my schedule varies slightly throughout the week, but I’m generally available in the early mornings, between classes, in the evenings, and throughout the weekend. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits, dog walks, house sitting, boarding, or daycare whenever my schedule allows. I communicate my availability clearly before booking and make sure I have plenty of time to give each animal the attention, exercise, and care they need. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or theirs, I follow each owner’s instructions closely and maintain the animal’s normal routine as much as possible. I prioritize safety by keeping doors, gates, leashes, and enclosures secure, supervising pets carefully, and keeping their environment clean and comfortable. Because I live in an apartment, boarded dogs are taken outside for supervised leash walks and potty breaks rather than being allowed into an off-leash yard. I’m also comfortable administering medications and supplements as directed, and I provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe, happy, and receiving plenty of individual attention.

About: My name's Trae, and I'm a Software Engineer based in the Baton Rouge area. I work remotely, and during the day I tend to have downtime, so now I'm helping out with pet care. I bring 18 years of hands-on experience caring for everything from Malteses to Great Pyrenees, ranging from basic walks and restroom visits to training on leash and commands. Whether your dog is a tiny pup needing gentle guidance or a large breed requiring confident handling, I ensure they remain well-exercised, mentally stimulated, and perfectly safe under my watch. I'm currently working less hours on a weekly basis compared to before, so I have free time to visit your pets whenever you need during the day. "In my home: Your dog will enjoy a safe, supervised, and welcoming environment alongside my friendly 3-year-old Goldendoodle, who is a great playmate for visiting pups. Because I live in an apartment, I am highly proactive about outdoor time. Your dog won't just be let out into a yard; they will get structured leash walks and supervised playtime at my complex's secure, fenced-in dog park to burn off energy. Inside, my apartment is thoroughly pet-proofed, keeping hazardous items out of reach so your dog can safely relax and feel at home. In your home: I treat my clients' homes with the utmost respect and leave things exactly as I found them. My priority is following your pet's routine as strictly as possible to reduce stress while you are away. I follow your instructions for feeding, medications, and potty schedules, and send frequent photo updates so you can trust your best friend is in great hands."

About: I have three huskies at home. Taking care of them requires a lot of attention, energy, and patience. (Heavy on the patience LOL) My boyfriend also has a boxer, so I have plenty of experience walking, feeding, and playing with large energetic dogs. I am always looking to walk, house sit, or just have a playdate with your fur baby! I am always willing to anything to provide a great life for our babies. Whether that is a walk, playing, or giving them their favorite treats! I keep safety and care for our babies by simply following the rules! If specific rules or instructions are placed ( ex: certain ways to feed your dog or cat) the. I follow them to a tee. Before letting dogs out I always look to see if there are any wild animals before letting them out. (One of my huskies brought me an opossum. Was not fun🙈) Small actions like these provide safety and protection for our fur babies.

About: I treat every pet like family. With years of hands-on experience, I provide personalized care, lots of playtime, and plenty of love. I'm experienced with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs, and I always keep pet parents updated for total peace of mind. I’m free all summer before I leave to college.

I carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or special instructions. I keep a clean, pet-safe environment, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and send regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. Having grown up around animals and cared for pets for family and friends, I’m comfortable handling different personalities, routines, and needs. I understand that every animal is unique, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Whether that means sticking to a specific schedule, providing extra playtime, or simply offering companionship, I always strive to create a positive experience for both pets and their owners. As a recent high school graduate, I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m able to give pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine and make your pet’s well-being a priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean and tidy, follow any specific care instructions, and provide updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: I’ve been apart of a dog training club for 13 years now called LCCOC. Growing up, I’ve helped my guardian with husbandry and care of puppies and different dogs over the years. I’ve had neighbors rely on me to help dog sit, feed, and walk their dogs often as well. Recently, I’ve started working at a pet store to further my knowledge on animals. I do have a part time job but I get a couple days or so off during the week but I work different times during the day when I’m scheduled, it’s never the same times. I do also plan to go back to school in the spring if possible but will still have time for others. I’m not entirely sure how my dogs would do around others that are in their home. I am use to having the keys and being careful with them if given them to enter a home and feed dogs and doing others tasks to care for them.

About: Animals have always been a passion throughout my life, which is why I turned to pet sitting. Ever since I was a little girl my family and I have always had dogs ranging from a tiny teacup yorkie to a large golden retriever to even frogs and rabbits. My experience with pet care really began when I became the primary caregiver to my yorkie. From there, I began pet sitting for many neighbors and friends and have been able to create a fun-loving experience out of it! I take pride in being responsible while still giving your pets a fun time! I have years of experience with a variety of different animals and I know how important it is finding the right person to care for your fur babies!

About: I’ve had many pets growing up including cats, dogs, hamsters, etc. Not only did I learn to take care of my own animals I’ve also been asked on many occasions to pet sit for family and friends while they are on vacation. All of my classes are in the morning so I’m free the rest of the day to spend all the time in the world with your pet(s) I live in a gated community where we are extremely pet friendly! There’s plenty of space to take your pet on walks. I also have a car if the dog park is also your pets favorite place to visit. There’s plenty of space inside the apartment as well if your pet needs to be crated.

About: I have been the go-to professional and friend for pet care and house-sitting for many. My goal is always to give your pet and home the same care and consideration I would my own. I have had pets since I can remember. My first pet was a jet black cat resembling the color of a raven. I learned and practiced numerous pet care tactics which allowed my cat to live a very fruitful life to 20 years old. I also had a delightful Bischon with a spunky personality that was always the life of the party. I am no stranger to large size or senior age pets, but am also well acquainted with service dogs. I have experience with pigs, fishes, snails, but my most favorite of all horses! I truly enjoy engaging with furry loved ones and giving them the tender care they obviously deserves! I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give your fur baby lots of attentive care, playtime, and mental stimulation by providing activity throughout the day. I have a fenced-in yard with ample space and love to go for strolls around the neighborhood and local parks. I love to play games and engage throughout the day.

About: Hi! I'm Allison, a current law school student with a lifelong love for animals and several years of experience pet sitting and dog walking. I grew up as the go-to neighborhood dog walker and pet sitter, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. From a young age, I've been surrounded by all kinds of pets, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, you name it! Today, my home is shared with my two dogs, two chinchillas, bunny, and my two ferrets, so I’m very familiar and comfortable with animals of all types, personalities, and care needs. I also am a volunteer at the greater chicago ferret association, and assist in caring for 70+ ferrets! Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs special attention, I bring patience, knowledge, and genuine affection to every visit. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry (or not-so-furry) family members, and I’d be honored to help care for yours like they’re my own. Let me know how I can help, walks, drop-ins, overnight care, I’ve got you covered! As a full-time law student, I keep a structured schedule that allows me to balance my studies with pet care, something that brings me both joy and a much-needed break from textbooks! I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sittings outside of class hours during the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. My schedule is flexible, especially with advance notice. During the summer and school breaks, I have full availability and can accommodate a wide range of pet care needs, including longer stays, extended walks, or multiple daily visits. Since I already care for multiple pets of my own, tending to animals is a natural and fulfilling part of my daily routine. I love incorporating pet care into my day, it keeps me grounded and active, and I treat every pet like they’re family. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my priority is always to make sure each animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean, secure, and consistent for your pet. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment while you're away. I also keep you updated with regular photos and notes, so you can have peace of mind while you're apart from your furry friend! At my home, pets have a safe and loving environment. I'm used to managing multiple animals with different care needs, so I’m confident handling various temperaments and routines. Whether it’s a cuddle on the couch or a long walk, I strive to make every pet feel like part of the family!

About: Hi! My name is Shayna Malonson, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals—especially dogs. I grew up with dogs my entire life, and now as an adult with my own home, I’m lucky to have two of my own: Ally (4 years old) and King (2 years old). They are a huge part of my daily life and have taught me so much about responsible, loving care. I personally bathe my dogs, brush their teeth, and handle their basic grooming after learning how to properly care for them myself. Through experience—especially managing my older dog’s dry skin—I’ve learned a lot about different dog food brands, skin-care products, and overall dog wellness. This has helped me become very attentive to each dog’s individual needs. In my free time, I enjoy playing fetch, going on simple walks, and giving my dogs plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home often and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to plan feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest periods without rushing. I build my day around the dogs in my care, making sure they receive regular supervision, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning and evening routines, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m flexible and dependable. I enjoy keeping pets on a steady schedule so they feel comfortable and secure I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated like family and are always supervised. I make sure the space is clean, pet-safe, and free from hazards, with plenty of room for rest, play, and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with basic grooming care such as bathing and brushing, and I pay close attention to skin sensitivity, diet needs, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended outside. Trust and communication are very important to me. I provide updates, photos, and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: All the Doggies sleep with me in my bed! They are allowed on furniture & anywhere they’d like to be comfortable. I worked for Companion Animal alliance in Baton Rouge working with dogs & cats as a caretaker. I mobile groom for people around the Livingston parish area & I’m well known on the nextdoor app. I have a bunch of references! I am very passionate about your fur babies & one day will open up my own business building for grooming/boarding & as new clients you would be adding to my fund for that. It has been my life long dream to accomplish this one day & I am going to keep working towards that. I want to expand this business into something much bigger & for people to feel at ease with leaving your babies in the care of someone who will love them unconditionally. All you have to bring for your baby is their dog food/cat food. I have dog/cat bowls, leashes, toys, puppy pads, litter boxes, litter, cat toys, cat/dog beds, ( I supply dog treats ) I do not put the babies in kennels unless instructed to do so by you if you bring your own. At bed time I put on relaxing music for the dogs to calm down & sleep, heating pads for cold nights, lots of blankets & beds. Any of their comfort items I would suggest bring with them. I do live in a new trailer, lots of room for your babies to roam & play! non smoker. I have experience with large dogs to small dogs, senior dogs & ones with bad anxiety or kennel aggressive ect. I also have experience with birds, especially parrots. I know how to handle in any situation when it comes to different behaviors from animals. I am also pit bull friendly 💕 The babies I board/doggy daycare have FREE ROAM. Which means they can go as they please anywhere in my home, they can sleep with me or they can sleep on the couches or their beds, but If you prefer your baby in a kennel at night, I will respect your wishes. I only have one kennel designated just for that.. You will receive lots of pictures/videos & updates to the point where it may be a little annoying but you’ll never have to text me first checking on them. I give them lots of love! I stay home everyday with the babies, so they will get all of the attention they need. The night before pick up/drop offs, I do give them a bath, each one no matter what. I can pick your dog up or drop them off, I have never had an issues with any dogs fighting, running off or accidents. I am VERY experienced in RUNNERS, the ones who wait for you to open the door to escape. Never had a runner succeed in getting away. I can clip your babies nails & give them a little trim if need be free of charge. If your dog needs medication I can administer it to them at the times needed. Prozac, prednisone, insulin, antibiotics ect, I’m familiar with all. Thank you for taking the time to read this & hopefully you have found the right sitter for your baby/babies. 🐶 I bring the babies to the dog park twice a week along with water treats & toys. I can manage 5 at a time ( leashed ) I do have a fenced in yard with a doggy pool, it’s covered & has pet turf. Lots of room for your baby to play!! This is what I do for a living! I eat breathe & sleep doggies. I stay home full time & when I say full time it’s me & the pups home everyday. I LOVE & taking care of your 4 legged sweetie pies, when you book with me it will allow me to continue to care for the fur babies & accomplish my life long dream to open up a bigger place to care for more. 💕 I truly appreciate repeat customers, but with inflation the way that it is, the cost of gas being so high, I had to make the difficult decision to raise my prices up to $2 more since last year. I understand if you choose to look elsewhere for services, but I hope that you choose to continue to use me. & for new clients ❤️ I have a small male dachshund that gets along with animals & kids very well! I am 100% committed to your pets to make them & you comfortable with my services. I treat my clients babies just like I would my baby!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Port Allen is $20 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $22 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Port Allen. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Port Allen after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
