“Taylor is very dedicated to making sure your pets are taken care of and doing well. She was watching our cat when a hurricane came through and still stopped by the day of the storm for her normal visit to make sure our cat was ok and had all the food/water he could need. We really appreciate her!”
“On time and very thorough, plus my animals loved Katie from the very moment they met her!! If I ever need animal care again I’ll definitely re-book if she’s available 😊”
“Katriana came through last minute for me and I couldn’t have been more appreciative. I know who I can always depend on no matter what and my dog thoroughly enjoys her company.”
“Awesome as ever. Kacey watched out two cats while we were gone for 10 days. She’s super reliable, respectful of the house, gives great communication and is great with the cats. Will keep rebooking!”
“Jordan did a great job taking care of my 4 kitties and feeding them twice a day + litter scooping. She followed all my instructions perfectly and sent informative notes and photos after every visit. She's a very busy lady, so a somewhat flexible time-schedule from the pet owner would probably be the best fit, i.e. "morning" instead of 8am on the dot. I really appreciated her help!”
“Yulitza was great with our 2 big dogs! This was my first time using Rover and I felt confident in leaving Yulitza to care for my dogs. She was very communicative and sent pictures every visit. Will definitely book again!”
“Kim was fantastic with our girls. She was timely, great communication, kept us engaged and happy with awesome photos of Happy Puppies. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to watch Ladybug & Ollie. ❤️. We will definitely be rebooking”
About: I worked as a shift lead at a doggy daycare called Dogtopia for almost 4 years. I have received training on how to deal with different breeds of dogs. I have worked with a variety of breeds, ages, and sizes and have a lot of experience in training behavior. I have also dealt with up to 30 dogs in one day care room during solo shifts. I have owned a dog for 12 years back at my house in Virginia, and currently do not live with him. I am also very organized and reliable. I will always be on time or early to appointments! I currently work full-time from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. I am available to host overnight dogs and can provide walks or drop-in visits before and after my work hours. I also have greater availability on evenings and weekends, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. I am also available most weekends. I am very friendly with new animals and am able to learn their behaviors quickly. I am not harsh when trying to correct their behavior, but will make sure they don’t try to misbehave.
About: I have owned dogs my whole life! Nothing gives me more joy than loving on our furry friends! They truly are man’s best friend and especially mine! My husband works from home and I am fully devoted to caring for our pups and yours! We are true dog lovers and will spend our days loving on your fur babies as if they were (and along with) our own! We have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. However, we can crate your pups or ours if needed as well. Our dogs love to play but if yours don’t, we can accommodate to keep them safe.
About: I have taken care of small and large animals since I was very young. I currently work as a vet tech for my full time job, but love to look after people’s fuzzy family members in my free time! I am most free on the weekends or evenings for walks/drop ins/etc, but if you need a service outside of this time, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own home, so I enjoy being able to do visits vs care in my home. I think this goes beyond their comfort while resting in their home but also allowing them to go on walk routes they are familiar with.
“Keonna took great care of my boys and even left music on for them though I think I forgot to ask her to that. She was also very patient with my boys and they were in great shape when I returned.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up with multiple dogs in my home and loved every second of it. I don’t mind watching dogs of all ages. I’m also used to walking dogs of all sizes big and small. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to watch or walk your animals! I am definitely available to work weekdays and most weekends. My home does not have a yard so I prefer to watch your animals at your house. I don’t mind crating your animals while I’m gone if you need me to. They will definitely get a lot of attention from me because I love giving them pets (if they want it of course).
“Johanna was great! Reliable, kind and calming. She sent several pics a day and it appears our pup was well cared for while we were gone, which was such a weight off our shoulders! Would love to have her as a sitter again in the future.”
About: My pack of dogs range from about 30 pounds to over 150, and several of them are high-energy breeds who need serious daily exercise. Whether your dog is a couch potato, a big gentle giant, or a ball of nonstop energy, I know how to keep them happy, tired, and well cared for. Living with dogs of every size and energy level has taught me how to read body language, manage different personalities, and meet each dog's individual needs. I'm comfortable handling large and giant breeds, and I know that a dog who doesn't get enough exercise can turn into a very create (and destructive) dog. Active pups get the long walks (or runs), play sessions, and mental stimulation they need, and I plan outings around Louisiana's heat, with early mornings and evenings in the summer, so everyone stays safe and comfortable. What your pup can expect: Daily walks and vigorous playtime, tailed to your dog's energy level. Feeding and medication on your schedule. Photo and video updates so you can see the fun. A calm, dog savvy home or drop-ins. Patience, consistency, and a lot of love. I am able to tend to your pets before I go to work, during my break, and after I get off of work. I also have full availability on weekends. I care for pets in my home based on the differing needs of each pet. I previously had a dog that had diabetes and required insulin twice a day, as well as another dog I found that had severe heart worms and required daily medication, so I am comfortable giving your pets their needed medication.
About: I’ve been caring for the cats and dogs of others since I was 15. Whether this be dog walking or drop in visits, I’ve got it covered. I also have experience with reptiles and rodents! I have one cat of my own who is asthmatic, and I grew up with a cat and 3 dogs! I can properly handle rowdy dogs, leash pullers, and much more. I know how to work on basic commands such as sit and down if you are in the training process! I have a flexible class and work schedule. I’m in a prime area for fellow LSU students in need of pet care. As an early bird, I am more than open to waking up early for drop ins or dog walks, and I can always make time in the evening as well. If mid day stops are needed, I can definitely try to work it into my day! I can promise a clean and safe environment your pet will thrive in. I am extremely vigilant when it comes to the safety of both the animal and the home, and I am skilled (from experience) at ensuring the best experience for the pets and belongings as a whole. I have worked with harness trained cats and know the limitations they require! I’ve walked dogs of all leash types and am more than comfortable having fun in backyards and parks!
About: I’ve worked as a veterinary technician for over 2 years in Baton Rouge and am starting veterinary school at LSU in August. I am not only trained in caring for pets and watching over them, but am able to medicate and fulfill any extra needs they may have. I am currently in veterinary school at Louisiana State University School of Veterinary Medicine! My class schedule varies day to day, but I am always available to come 6:00-7:00am and in the evenings 5:00-10:00 pm (possibly earlier then 5 if necessary). Depending on the location, I can most likely fit in a walk or potty break during mid day 12:00-1:00pm. I am not only professionally trained on proper animal welfare and care, but how to medicate pets (including injections) and notice any early signs of illness. I am responsible with the animals I help provide care for everyday at work, and that will not fall short of providing that same care to your fur babies! I will be gentle, caring, and loving to each and every animal that is in my care! I will make sure your pets are fed and walked, and give them extra play time in the yard or activity. I can keep up with training, if you have a puppy, or provide gentle care for an older dog. I am comfortable caring for all ages of dogs and conform to their exact needs. I am also comfortable doing nail trims and giving baths if they needed.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverland
Marien is fantastic! She kept my Border Collie for a few days when I went out of town. She played with him, walked him and made sure he had everything he needed an more! Marien kept me updated and sent me pictures. Knowing she was there gave me so much peace of mind! She’s also a very sweet person!!! She’s the best. And Luke loves her!
Taylor is such an amazing and reliable dog sitter. She is very attentive and gave me regular check ups on my girl. She takes such good care of her and it truly shows! Taylor is very organized and sends great pictures and details of my dogs day. I recommend using her services!
Fantastic as always. Kim is always amazing with her communication and care of our girls. Updates & Photos show the pups love having her drop in on them and they give her lots of kisses. Can’t thank Kim enough for her loving care of our girls while we are out of town. Definitely will be re-booking for the next adventure if she is available. ❤️
Kaila was fantastic with our dogs! She kept them entertained, made sure they ate all of their food, and carefully followed all of the notes and instructions we left for her. She even sent us pictures during her visit, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs took to her immediately, and it was clear she genuinely cared about them and enjoyed spending time with them. Kaila also treated our home with the utmost respect and made sure everything was put back exactly where it belonged. We couldn't be happier with the care she provided and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Kaila to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter! 🐾
Amazing sitter. Communicative, attentive, punctual and a real live Snow White. I had one of my cats pass away the day before she was to start her visits and it was breaking my heart to have to go in and remove him from the booking, she took charge and just did it for me. She just intuitively knew and I’m so thankful for that. I will absolutely use her anytime I have to go out of town again. I didn’t worry for a moment while I was gone. I just can’t say enough great things about her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
