About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I can remember. I grew up with at least 3-4 dogs in my household at all times, volunteered at the local animal shelter to help take care of the overflow of dogs, fostered a litter of puppies, and of course the occasional dog sitting for a neighbor or family friend. I am currently working 2 part time jobs at the moment, but they usually include short days and hours. I am mostly available from mid afternoon to nighttime on any given day, especially weekends! Schedule is subject to change weekly. I have a big kennel in my home if it’s ever needed. I also have plenty of toys, treats, and other equipment like poop bags, leashes, or harnesses.

“Kaylee was such a delight! Shady looked so happy in all the photos she sent me, and she made sure he took all of his allergy meds the whole stay. She kept me informed and updated about him all weekend and I had peace of mind my whole vacation knowing my baby was well taken care of. I will definitely be calling her next time I go out of town!”

About: Hi! I’m Haley, a lifelong dog lover who believes every pup deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. I grew up with my sweet Shih Tzu Bella and recently rescued a 5 year old rat terrior, Biscuit. I am very familiar with the joy, energy, and companionship dogs bring into our lives! I have years of experience loving and caring for dogs as part of my everyday life. I am dependable, gentle, and excited to provide your furry friend with walks, playtime, cuddles, and the care they deserve while you are away. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I am more than happy to work with your schedule and provide dependable care whenever you need it most! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my TOP priorities. I believe pets deserve to feel loved and secure while their humans are away, so l treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, lil take the time to understand their routine, personality, and unique needs. I'll provide a calm, safe environment filled with plenty of affection, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. I know leaving your furry family member with someone new can feel stressful, so my goal is to give you peace of mind through reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and genuine care every step of the way. Requested information about your pet Before caring for your pet, l'a love to know all the little details that make them unique! Their daily routine, personality, favorite activities, comfort items, feeding schedule, medication needs (if applicable), and any quirks or preferences are all important to me. I would also love to know how they interact with new people, other pets, and their environment so I can help them feel safe and comfortable. Every pet has their own personality, and my goal is to provide care that feels familiar, consistent, and tailored specifically to them. I’m available after school hours and on weekends. As a teacher, my schedule is consistent, allowing me to provide reliable care before and after work, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I make time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and lots of love and attention. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send regular photo updates.

“Kaitlyn has house sat for us several times, and she never disappoints. She is professional, reliable, and always takes wonderful care of both our dog and our home. Our dog has health issues that require medication and frequent potty breaks because she’s on a diuretic. Kaitlyn followed all of my instructions carefully, took her out proactively to prevent accidents, and gave her medication as needed. I also tend to leave detailed instructions, including text messages and photos, and I really appreciated that Kaitlyn welcomed all of the information and asked questions whenever she needed clarification. She stayed overnight and was home for most of the day as requested, which is important since I work from home and our dog is used to having someone around. We came home to a happy, content dog and a house that was just as we left it. Kaitlyn is always a pleasure to work with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have loved and cared for pets my entire life. After years of looking after the animals of friends and family, I am excited to expand my services and provide that same trusted, dedicated care to your furry family members! I am a small business owner at a salon and also work part-time as a gym receptionist. Since my shifts are only 2 to 3 hours long, I have a lot of flexibility! As a proud owner of three cats, I know exactly what it takes to keep animals happy, healthy, and safe. I treat every pet in my care with the same patience and love I give my own. Whether your pet loves energetic playtime or quiet companionship, I tailor my routine to their specific needs. I am highly attentive to feeding schedules, clean environments, and providing plenty of affection so you can have total peace of mind while you're away!

About: 🐾 Hi, I’m Porsha! 🐾 I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—dogs 🐶, cats 🐱, birds 🐦, and even hamsters 🐹. I’ve owned German Shepherds, Poodles, Poms, and a few lovable mixes, so I’m comfortable with pups big and small. I recently rescued a 5-pound senior chihuahua from the streets. 🐾 I’m not sure about his social skills with other dogs, but since he’s elderly, he mostly keeps to himself and prefers to lounge on his cozy beds. 🛏️💤 ✨ Good to Know: 🐕 I require that pups are crate trained and crate provided by owners. 🐾 I understand that some pups prefer to stretch their legs and not spend time in a crate 🐕✨. That’s why I’m happy to offer an overnight trial stay 🌙💤—to make sure they feel relaxed, comfortable, and at ease in a new environment 🏡❤️. 🌙 Overnight trial required before extended stays. Can’t wait to spoil your furry family member! 🐾💕 🎖️🐾 I’m retired from the military, which means I have plenty of free time to love on your fur baby while you’re away. ❤️🐶 I do ask that owners provide a crate 🏡, but don’t worry—pups are rarely in them. Most of their time is spent playing, cuddling, and enjoying lots of attention! 🐾💕 🌳 I have a fenced-in yard where pups can safely play and get plenty of fresh air. 🐕✨ I take them out regularly for potty breaks, exercise, and fun. 🏡 In my home, pets are treated like family—they’re welcome on the furniture 🛋️, and most pups we watch even get to snuggle in bed with us at night. 💤🐶💕

I'm so grateful to have Mia as a pet sitter. This was the fourth time she has stayed in our home, and we always come home to happy, well taken care of pets. Mia is punctual and always communicates and sends updates. We will continue to ask her back as long as she continues pet sitting!

Outstanding experience. Ashley took wonderful care of our dog and cat as well as leaving our home cleaner than she found it! We got frequent updates and pictures of our furbies. In fact, she left a picture frame with lots of great pictures she had taken over our time away, all on her own volition. If she had a question, she asked. We, and the furbies, look forward to her next visit. Thanks, Ashley!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an absolutely wonderful experience with our dog sitter! From the very beginning, communication was top-tier, thoughtful, consistent, and reassuring without ever being overwhelming. I always knew exactly what was going on, which gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. Daylen went above and beyond to make sure our pups were safe, happy, and well cared for, even keeping me informed about the smallest details (including a funny little mishap that she immediately communicated about — honesty and transparency like that is everything!). It was clear how much she genuinely cared for my dogs, and they clearly adored her right back. She was punctual, responsible, kind, and extremely professional. I felt completely confident trusting her with my home and my fur babies, and that says a lot. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative dog sitter when I do not need her lol. Thank you for treating my pups like your own! 🐩🐩💙

FAQs for House Sitting - Prairieville

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Prairieville on Rover is $26.75 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 344 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Prairieville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Prairieville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Prairieville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Prairieville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Prairieville. On Rover:

  • 73% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 93% 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.
