“Breanna was AMAZING! She took such great care of Drako and made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. She sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. On top of that, she left my home spotless—honestly cleaner and more put-together than when she arrived! My pup loved her, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in great hands. I highly recommend Breanna to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter/walker. Will definitely be booking her again! 🐾💛”
“Having Meagan sit for my dog Willow was our 1st experience using Rover.com & it was wonderful. Meagan showed up on time, immediately connected with my dog & I felt she exuded kindness, warmth & a love for animals. I felt comfortable leaving town for an evening with Willow in her care. She communicated with me throughout & even stayed a little later than planned when I asked. My home was just as I left it & my girl was her normal happy self. I would definitely recommend Meagan & I have rebooked with her for an entire weekend in November.”
“Kimber was so sweet to our girl, Knoxx! She was always quick to respond to any messages we sent and wanted to make sure that our dog was well taken care of! She sent several pictures and even treated her to a nice long walk at the park! We cannot thank her enough!”
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.
“Taylor did a fantastic job! We had never left our boy before and were so worried. Taylor took great care of him, sent photos, and spoiled him while she was here. This helped us to relax while we were gone, knowing he was well cared for and spoiled.”
About: I have had pets my whole life and have spent years house and pet sitting for friends and family. I am in the Army National Guard and have childcare experience, which has helped me become patient, reliable, and attentive. I am very loving and kind, and I naturally connect well with animals of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets. I work weekdays from 2 to 8, which allows me to be available for morning, midday, and overnight pet care. I have National Guard training one weekend each month, but I am available every other weekend to care for your pets. When caring for clients’ pets, I learn their routine and follow instructions closely to keep them comfortable and stress free. I provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and exercise based on their needs. I am happy to walk or jog with dogs and always create a safe, calm, and loving environment while you are away.
“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.”
“Fabricia did an awesome job watching my cat and dog on very short notice over the Christmas holidays. They both warmed up to her fast and she put my mind at ease with consistent updates, pictures and videos.”
“Megan is such a sweet soul. We will most definitely use her again! She kept the dogs on their schedule and even took them to the dog park. She kept us informed while we were out of town and gave me a peace of mind that my babies were safe.”
“Ashley did an outstanding job taking care of Orvill between 2:00 and 7:30 p.m. She kept me updated throughout, sent beautiful and fun pictures, and made me feel completely at ease. Her attentiveness and care were truly appreciated!”

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
About: I’ve owned both dogs and cats my entire life and have always loved caring for animals.

About: I’m an independent pet care provider, and I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly to reflect my current availability. I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities - from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ve got it covered. With having the opportunity to stay home, I have endless amounts of time to enjoy and care for your babies!! My schedule is very flexible for drop-ins.

“Cindy was amazing. She stayed at our home for several days caring for our 15 year old poodle Scarlett. She gave her attention, sent us updates and we never had to worry about Scarlett. The mail was inside, the plants were watered and the dog was happy. Thank you Cindy. You’re the best!!❣️”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities — from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime, to senior pets who deserve extra patience and gentle care. I make it a priority to get to know each animal’s unique routine and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart I treat every pet as if they were my own family. Beyond basic walks and feeding, I focus on keeping pets happy, stimulated, and calm — whether that’s through long walks, games of fetch, or simply giving them the quiet affection they crave. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and always communicative, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for like a priority. I currently work part time so I will have plenty of time to give attention to the animals!! I can do feedings and walks morning and night no issues there. I have a fenced in yard, very accessible for letting animals out to go potty and my household only consists of me and my partner so there won’t be many people coming in and out of the home so there’s more consistency for the animals.

Kimber is the kindest, nicest, professional, friendly. and I can go on and on. We were in crisis our 14 1/2 years old baby had a seizure. All this in the midst of our daughter getting married away from home. We found Kimber! She not only took care of Lili, but also Ashy and Honey (our other two babies) We were able to enjoy the wedding because Kimber was there. Honestly, we all said that we wished she lived near us. This is your trusting person if you need care for your furries!

Five stars doesn’t feel like enough! Our dog sitter went above and beyond caring for our puppies during a hurricane while we were away. Before evacuating with them, she even took the time to close up our house for us. Knowing our babies were safe with someone so caring and dependable meant everything during such a stressful time. She treated them like her own, and we will never forget the kindness and care she showed our family. We are so grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough! ❤️🐾
Shyla stayed at our home from Thursday through Monday morning to care for our two dogs, Panda and Teddi, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her. The care, attention, patience, and love she gave our girls was absolutely exceptional. From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her hands. She treated Panda and Teddi as if they were her own, and that means more to us than I can put into words. Panda requires a little extra patience and care, and Shyla went above and beyond to make sure she was comfortable, loved, and well taken care of. She was equally wonderful with Teddi and handled everything beautifully throughout her stay. Not only did Shyla provide outstanding care for our dogs, but she also gave us something incredibly valuable while we were away, peace of mind. We never had to worry about whether they were safe, comfortable, or receiving the attention they needed. Shyla is dependable, trustworthy, compassionate, attentive, and genuinely wonderful with animals. It is very obvious that she truly cares about the pets entrusted to her. She was absolutely outstanding, and we are incredibly grateful for everything she did. Five stars simply doesn't feel like enough!
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.

The average cost of House Sitting in Pretty Bayou is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $51 per night.

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 , 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 .
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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
