“Lisa took excellent care of our senior Frenchie. Our dog takes doily medication and becomes very anxious when we travel. When we returned from our trip, our dog acted as if we had never been away, and our house was in the same clean condition as when we left.”
“We love having Breana stay with or pups when we go out of town. She does a wonderful job making sure they get enough exercise outside & spends time with each dog. They are always happy and healthy when we get back :)”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets in one household, handling high energy dogs, and administering oral medications when needed. I am very aware that every pet has their own unique personality and routine, and I always take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while giving pet parents complete peace of mind through reliable communication💕🐾 Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and fits perfectly into my everyday life. I am currently unemployed so I love spending my time with my own animals, so i will love spending time with your fur baby! whether that means going on walks, playing, keeping them company, or making sure they feel comfortable while you are away. I’m able to build pet care into my routine by setting aside dedicated time for each pet’s needs and schedule. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I want them to feel happy, safe, and loved in my care. I care for every pet and home with the same respect and attention that I would want for my own. In your home, I would follow your rules / instructions closely, keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment, and maintain their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and daily care. I will always prioritize safety by making sure doors, gates, and surroundings are secure while providing plenty of love and attention.
“Jana was vert friendly and it was super easy to work with her. She was great with all of my animals even my skittish cat came out for some love from Jana! I will definitely book with her again!”
“John was amazing! Came through on short notice when my first sitter had to cancel and took great care of my dog and cat. Sent pics every day and was a great communicator! I felt my animals were safe and well cared for. I will definitely hire John again in the future!”
“Morgan was amazing! I needed a sitter with minimal notice. She was flexible, prompt, and so loving to my dog. She helped my dog adapt to a new home easily and treated him like her own. Will definitely work with Morgan again.”
About: Hello! 👋 Thank you for visiting my profile! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life—from horses and dogs to cats, ferrets, and just about everything in between. Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine, and over the years I’ve been trusted by family, friends, and neighbors to care for their beloved pets. I’d love the opportunity to care for yours! I have a flexible, home-based schedule that allows me to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and personalized care throughout your pet’s stay. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel overwhelming, which is why I always recommend scheduling a meet-and-greet beforehand to ensure we’re a great fit. We primarily live in Florida but spend part of the summer at our home in Massachusetts. My calendar is always kept up to date, so you can book with confidence. Your dog will be welcomed into our home as part of the family. We have a fully fenced 6-foot privacy yard for safe outdoor play, and our two friendly resident dogs enjoy making new canine friends. For everyone’s safety, I kindly ask that all pets are spayed or neutered, current on vaccinations, and on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
“I cannot say enough great things about Dian! From the moment we booked, she was communicative, professional, and incredibly thoughtful. She kept me updated throughout the entire stay, sending photos and reassuring messages that put my mind at ease—especially important since one of my pups is a newly rescued dog who can be a bit of a handful. Dian was patient, calm, and so kind. To my surprise (and delight!), my rescue warmed up to her so much faster than I expected. Her calm presence and genuine care made all the difference. As someone who’s super picky (okay, neurotic) when it comes to my dogs and their care, I can confidently say Dian is a 10 out of 10. If you’re considering booking her—stop thinking and just do it. Your pets will be in the absolute best hands!”
About: I have lived with dogs my entire life, and currently own four. I love animals, and I'm currently training for a vet-tech certification. I work at a doggy-daycare and boarding facility full-time. Trained in dog behavior and pet first-aid (including CPR). I work all day (7am-7pm) Thurs, Fri, and Sun. This is my consistent schedule, but I can move things around to adjust for your pet! All other days, I am free all day. I will follow any instructions you give to a T! Very adaptable and ready to accommodate your dogs' needs. I can walk dogs, administer medications, and keep spaces clean, along with anything else you may need.
“Kimberly is very sweet and was amazing with my Yorkie rescue!! She is very caring and compassionate and I truly love that! She actually spoiled him and catered to his needs❤️ I highly recommend her. THANK YOU AGAIN KIMBERLY🫶🏼 Thumper also says thank you! 🐶”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, including German Shepherds, Boxers, and Mastiffs, so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. My family always had two or three dogs, which gave me years of hands-on experience with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’ve also provided dog walking, pet sitting, and overnight care for friends, and through TrustedHousesitters. I’ve completed extended pet sits lasting up to a month. I treat every pet like family and strive to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently work part time and remotely, this means that my schedule is pretty flexible. I have a few work meetings and a workout routine that I will stick to. This make it super easy to have time to care for your pets. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’ll make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of walks, playtime, and companionship, and receive any medications or special care they need. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that’s playing, cuddling, practicing basic training, or simply keeping them company. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
“I was really worried about my two girls Rajah and Zoe (boxers). Rajah and Zoe are very attached to mommy and daddy. We don’t leave them that often simply because of age and medical conditions. Rajah and Zoe toke to Brittney when we did a first meet and once again a few days before we left town for the weekend and they were completely comfortable with her and even my cat toke her, and he normally doesn’t take to strangers right away. Brittney responded to my text with in a reasonable amount of time when I messaged her. So, yes we would use Brittney again.”
“Stephanie was an absolute rock star to work with! It was our first time having a house sitter take care of both our dog and our cat. Not only did they love her, she was punctual, safety conscious, and sent amazing updates to keep our minds at ease. I would confidently recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own animals since I was 10 years old. My neighbors always relied on me to walk their animals and take care of personal stuff as needed:) I am currently in nursing school and my classes go through majority of morning but in afternoon I’m free to take care of your animal I have a small apartment but it is perfect for my animals and me. I’m more so looking to go help at other peoples houses since the small environment may not be best for all of our children lol
“Once again...a perfect experience leaving my home and my pet in the hands of Sheliya. I booked a second stay with her because the first time was exactly everything I needed and all went well. If you are nervous to leave your home and pet, then I encourage anyone out there to try Sheliya first! She's the absolute best!”

Breana stayed at our house for 4 days/3 nights to watch our two dogs and cat while we were out of town. She was incredible! I received multiple pictures and updates throughout the day and didn’t have to worry while we were gone. She is very professional and thorough with the job she does, cleaned up after the pets and is super sweet! Highly recommend! We will book her again for our fur babies for any future trips.
Francesca did a wonderful job caring for our pets and home while we were away. She followed all of the care instructions we discussed, kept us updated, and clearly cared about making sure the animals were comfortable and well taken care of. She also cleaned up after herself and the dogs before leaving, which was very appreciated to come home to. We’re grateful for her help and would gladly recommend her to others looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Stephanie was an absolute rock star to work with! It was our first time having a house sitter take care of both our dog and our cat. Not only did they love her, she was punctual, safety conscious, and sent amazing updates to keep our minds at ease. I would confidently recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!
Alessandra is responsible and loving and vey attentive to our dogs. We had interviewed other sitters before meeting Alessandra and knew at once that she was the one for our pups. She is cautious and thoughtful, asking questions to learn exactly what kind of care is required. She goes above and beyond to make sure our babes have lots of love and attention while under her watch. Highly recommend!
I cannot say enough about Susan. She was phenomenal. I am always apprehensive about leaving me further babies, even if it’s with family. But when my regular dog sitter of many years got ill, I had to find another sitter. After reading endless profiles on River, I came across Susan. Susan was awesome at communicating with me prior to and during her stay. My pups seemed to have enjoyed her company too! I would highly recommend her! Wish I could add some stars to my rating!

FAQs for House Sitting - Pretty Bayou
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Pretty Bayou on Rover is $34.41 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 184 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Pretty Bayou. 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 Pretty Bayou 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 Pretty Bayou 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 Pretty Bayou 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 Pretty Bayou. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
