“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 :)”
“Kimberly was awesome at taking care of my boy, Rusty. He’s a special dog and needed someone very attentive to keep him content while I was away. She did a great job and will be using her again in the future!”
“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.”
About: I have had taken care of/lived with various dog breeds, and have walked and raised dogs since I can remember. I recently began volunteering at Alaqua walking and playing with dogs, and I have experience dog sitting and walking my neighbors dogs. I have worked with puppies, middle aged dogs, older dogs, both big and small! I love dogs unconditionally and I will do everything in my power to ensure they stay spoiled and happy :). I work part-time closing shifts at my job, so I am available for early mornings and late nights. I work whenever I am scheduled, but I am always off on Wednesdays! My normal shift is normally 4pm-10pm, so I am available to dog sit, check-in, or walk before and after my shift! I cannot care for pets at my own home, but I will ensure that when I come to your home, I will keep it looking good as new. I am a chronic dish washer if any dishes or slight cleaning needs to be made. I am also no stranger to accidents that dogs are prone to, as one of my past dogs had a sensitive stomach, especially when it came to my carpeted floors. I will do whatever your dog wants to do, but my favorite aspect of it all is to ensure that the dog is happy and to make a connection with them. I love being active and playing, but I can also just simply snuggle up with them.
“This is the 2nd time John has watched my dogs, and I really like him. We live in an apartment, so he walks them 4 times a day plus feeds and chills with them. I also like that he sends me picture updates while I’m gone.”
“Jessica was such a refreshing change! Porter loved her and she also left the house cleaner than when I left. My pup is a very spoiled/particular child and she listened to his needs and met them all. Thank you Jessica and welcome to the family. We will rebook with you again very soon!”
“Kat what’s amazing with our big boys. We have never had anybody other than family to watch our children. We are so happy to add Kat to our family. She was great with the boys even got them to pose for a picture. I think they were disappointed to see us come home.”
“We all loved Jana! My husband and I felt a sense of peace knowing our boy was in great hands the whole time we were away. We would highly recommend her and will be booking again.”
“Can’t express enough how much we appreciate Taylor and the great job she did with out Mak. Additionally she kept our house tidy and looked after. Completely deserving of the highest 5 star rating”
About: I have years of experience with dogs and cats. I have experience with reactive dogs as well as large breeds such as German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois. Big or small, I love em all. I can train basic commands as well as encourage your pet’s current skills. I have experience caring for all ages, puppy to elders, I have their back. I love cats and dogs equally- so if you have a cat I would love to care for them as well. Rest assured your pet will receive the most love and care while in my supervision! I currently work PRN at the hospital. My scheduling is flexible. On days I work, I can still care for your pet in the afternoon! During summer I do not have nursing classes, so I have more availability for your pets! I have a fenced back yard with space to stretch legs of all sizes! My black lab, Luna, loves to play. I can crate your dog if needed.
“Abigail was great! She provided updates throughout the day along with pictures and even video! She took care of our pup and home like it was her own. Thank you for a great visit!”
“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!”
“Heather was fantastic with my pups and my home. She took care of my fur pups especially my senior pup with patience and understanding. I was able to relax knowing they were safe and cared for. I will use Heather again in the future and highly recommend her for sitting.”
“Hailey took Wonderful care of my fur child. I will be using her services everytime I go out of town. Thank you Hailey for dealing with the crazy schedule changes and the amazing care of Finn.”

About: With over 30 years of pet care experience, I have dedicated my life to providing compassionate, reliable care for dogs, cats, and other animals.

I specialize in taking care of puppies, working with anxious pets, and building trust with animals of all temperaments. Known for my ability to connect with even the most timid or challenging pets, I strive to ensure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own. I offer flexible, reliable care tailored to your pet's individual needs. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, administering medications, or simply spending quality time keeping them company, I'm happy to stop by as often as needed. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Your pets will be treated like family in my care. I will ensure they are fed, watered, exercised, and given plenty of love and attention. My priority is to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable, while providing you with peace of mind knowing they are receiving the same level of care I would give my own pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pretty Bayou
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 $33.26 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 182 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
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
