About: My wife and I are self employed and looking to make extra money caring for your fur babies! We both have 13+ years experience caring for pets and currently have 3 furry friends of our own. We chose to do this together to be able to help as many families as we can and give you the peace of mind you deserve while away. We are familiar with many different breeds and are comfortable with all sizes and ages. Whether you are in need of a house sitter or just a walker for a day, feel free to message us and we’d be more than happy to help you out! Hope to hear from you soon! We are both self employed so our schedule is flexible. We have the freedom to work around all pet care needs so your pet is priority. We do not offer pet care in our home, as we value the comfort of our elderly Bulldog. We offer care in your home and would follow all instructions you give us and treat your pets as we would our own.
“Hannah has been great. We've had her drop in on our dog several times when our work schedules make for a long day at home for our dog. Hannah is always quick to respond and has been a great help.”

“This was my first time using Rover but Vanessa and Eulalia made it easy. Even though neither of my shy cats showed themselves, they seemed noticeably less anxious when I got home compared to other times I've traveled and had a friend watch them. I will be a repeat customer!”

About: I have experience with a wide range of breeds, small and large dogs, as well as training anxious and reactive puppies. My partner and I have two pups at home, a Heeler/Border Collie mix and a Terrier/Cattle Dog mix. I have walked dogs in my neighborhood for a couple years, and helped friends, family and neighbors with house/dog sitting and cat care drop-in visits. I just moved to the area and in-between work so I have plenty of time to get your pups outdoors and socialized with my dogs, as well as weekend or long-term boarding or overnight stays in your home. We have a fenced yard and a large sectional couch the puppies are always welcome on, plus lots of dog beds and blankets around the house for maximum coziness and personal space. Animals in our home will be welcomed by our two pups and treated as part of the family with any adjustments to commands or comforts as needed. I believe safety for all pets is best achieved through clear, firm direction and positive feedback. Patience is absolutely key when working with any animal and I am fully capable of holding space for those who need a little extra time and care.
About: I had a wonderful Husky growing up, He was always bursting with energy and personality, eager to run, explore, and snuggle up next to me whenever the day ended. Having him around taught me responsibility, patience, and just how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be. After high school, I adopted a Rottweiler of my own. Raising him from a young age helped me understand training, structure, and daily care better. Soon after, my mom needed some help with her cat, so I welcomed him into my home. For a while, I had both a dog and a cat living together—learning to balance their different personalities, needs, and routines. Later, when my husband and I moved into our own place, we added another furry family member—a sweet Corgi who joined us about two years later. Each pet has brought something special into my life and has helped me grow as a caregiver. I’ve gained hands-on experience with both dogs and cats—from energetic working breeds to loyal guardians and independent, affectionate cats. Caring for them isn’t just about feeding and walks—it’s about building trust, comfort, and a little friendship along the way. Pet sitting fits naturally into my routine since I work part-time with very flexible hours. I’m able to plan my schedule around visits, walks, and check-ins, whether they’re early mornings, midday, or evenings. Because I manage my own time, I can give pets consistent attention, unrushed care, and plenty of love throughout the week. I care for pets in my home and yours with the same level of love, patience, and attention I give my own. In my home, I create a calm, safe, and cozy environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I adhere strictly to their regular routines—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and bedtime habits—to ensure their security and comfort. In your home, I respect their space and maintain their familiar routine to minimize stress. I move at their pace, especially with shy or anxious pets, building trust through gentle interactions, consistency, and positive reinforcement. Whether it’s energetic playtime or quiet cuddles, I prioritize making each pet feel safe, understood, and truly cared for.
About: I grew up helping my parents breed German Shepherds and Rottweilers, and spent my childhood surrounded by Huskies, Min Pins, Boxers, and Golden Retrievers. Over the years, I’ve personally raised several puppies—including a Jack Russell Terrier, two Corgis, and a Shetland Sheepdog—which taught me patience, consistency, and how to support dogs through every stage of development. I’ve completed training courses with all of my pets, working on recall and foundational commands like sit, stay, roll over, and fetch. I also have lifelong experience caring for cats. I’ve raised kittens, supported senior cats through their later years, and understand how important it is to move at their pace and respect their boundaries. Along with senior‑pet care, medication administration, grooming, and daily routines, my background gives me a calm, confident approach to animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. A lifetime of hands‑on experience truly sets me apart and helps me provide reliable, compassionate care for every pet I meet. Pet care fits smoothly into my weekly routine because I’m currently a full‑time online student with a very flexible schedule. Since I’m not working outside of school, I’m able to offer care any day of the week with only a few time restrictions that shift depending on class requirements. This flexibility allows me to provide daily walks, drop‑in visits, house sitting, or consistent care for pets who need support while their owners are at work. I enjoy building pet care into my day, and I’m happy to adjust my routine to match each animal’s needs and comfort level. Before caring for any new pet, I always start with a meet‑and‑greet to understand their routine, personality, and any unique needs. I talk with owners about feeding schedules, reactivity, medication requirements, and comfort levels so I can follow their expectations exactly. In a client’s home, I maintain their established routines, keep pets calm and comfortable, and make sure their environment stays clean and safe. My goal is to provide care that feels familiar to each animal while giving owners confidence that their pets are being looked after with attention and respect.
About: My golden is my boss, and I love it. I have had dogs my whole life and am finally in a position where I can help other people with their pups. Walking, playing…I can’t wait to meet all your puppers and doggos! I currently work part time so have pretty open availability for walks and playing. I could potentially board but it would have to be a good fit with my pup. I take my dog Simon on 3 walks a day as I live in an apartment. Keeps me active and him happy. I will do whatever the client needs I order to keep their pets as happy as mine.
About: I know how difficult it can be finding help when it's needed to make sure my dog gets enough exercise, attention, and love on the days where I am out of town or working long hours. I hope to offer that relief to you when your pet needs it. I was raised around dogs and started taking care of them independently in highschool, dogsitting throughout college, and now owning my own dog. I have dogsat reactive dogs, elderly dogs, and raised puppies. Above all, getting to understand the specific needs of each individual I help is what makes myself and your pet the most comfortable. I have more availability than listed on my Rover profile, especially on the weeeknds, so reach out! I currently work part-time, and I am available to help consistently on weekends and evenings, being able to help on the weekdays if my work allows it. Respect and communication are my priorities. Respect for your pet, schedule, property, and instructions are at the forefront of my mind to ensure that your pet is as safe as it can be in my care. I will always communicate any concerns, questions, and general updates about the visit - I never want to keep you in the dark about what your pet has been up to while you're away.
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats in my life, and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’m an avid hiker and have been lucky to share many trails with amazing “trail dogs” over the years. I’ve also pet sat for coworkers, doing drop-ins multiple times a day, and I’m currently providing overnight care for a puppy—something I truly enjoy. Over time, I realized this is something I’d love to do more of. When I say “us,” I mean my little household too: I have a mixed-breed dog and a cat. My cat is gentle and friendly and gets along well with dogs. My dog, Ziggy, is my first male and a rescue from the pound. He’s been a challenge at times, but with patience, consistency, and lots of love, he’s made wonderful progress—and continues to do so. Because of that experience, I have a special place in my heart for shelter dogs and pets who may need a little extra patience, care, and understanding. I’d love the opportunity to offer that same compassion and support to your pets, helping them feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I happily offer drop-ins and overnight care on weekends and holidays. If there would be a special need, we most likely could work this out. I care for pets based on their normal routine and your preferences. Whether in your home or during overnights, I focus on feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship, along with any special instructions you provide. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining the routine they’re used to.
About: I've been the go to carer for all kinds of pets (dogs, cats, senior animals.) for my family and friends since I was a teenager. I find that I have a calming presence that puts them at ease. I have some experience with training, mostly with previous pets. I'm currently in school and working part time. I have Friday, Saturdays and Sundays free. And Thursday afternoons free. If things go well here, I hope to have Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons free too. I have a fenced yard with lots of room to play and lots of toys. I no longer have pets of my own, so any animal under my care will get my full attention.
About: With over 25 years of experience in pet care, I specialize in providing personalized care for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra attention. I have experience in basic obedience training, and I'm skilled in administering medication for senior pets. My passion for animals and commitment to their well-being ensures that each pet gets the care and attention they deserve. Whether it's a playful pup or a senior dog with special needs, I am dedicated to offering a safe and loving environment. We offer hourly and over night rates. Please contact for current prices We are a family of 3, all over 18, where someone is home at all times. Therefore, your pet will be cared for and attended to the entire time you are away.

They have access to the couch, pet beds, and can play, sleep or just hang out as the prefer l.
About: I am a mature, reliable, healthy, energetic woman that has owned homes in the US and Canada for 40 years. I have had many dogs and cats, most often large dogs. I want to house/pet sit throughout the US so I will be able to get to know different regions during my retirement. I am fully Covid vaccinated. While I am retired, I continue to volunteer a lot for my church and several local organizations. While pet sitting, I usually do quilting projects in the morning, explore in the afternoons and knit while watching TV in the evenings. I usually care for pets in their own home. I believe this is the least stressful for the pets and my clients say I give them peace of mind while they travel.

“Winnie texted pics to let us know our animals looked just fine with us gone. Even our recluse cat was there to greet us and he never appears for awhile after we’ve been gone! He must have felt comfortable with her there. We are looking forward to Winnie pet sitting for us again.”


“Michael has been an absolute saint. The fur babies love him and trust him. My one, Bean, is a very shy and timid cat. She does not like people but within a couple of weeks of Michael visiting she soon trusted him then gives him snuggles and kisses. As soon as I met Michael I knew he could be trusted with my babies. There is a safe and calm energy with him which is why I believe my cats trusted him so fast. I will forever recommend Michael to anyone in the area.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 782 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rayville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
