“Megann and Ross are great. They are able to drop by for last minute requests when I realize the weather is going to change, or I get stuck at work. They take great care of my fur babies. It's hard to find people I feel comfortable can handle my two bullies. Ross' experience training dogs makes me feel better, knowing he can be top dog when I'm not around.”

About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I can remember. I grew up with at least 3-4 dogs in my household at all times, volunteered at the local animal shelter to help take care of the overflow of dogs, fostered a litter of puppies, and of course the occasional dog sitting for a neighbor or family friend. I am currently working 2 part time jobs at the moment, but they usually include short days and hours. I am mostly available from mid afternoon to nighttime on any given day, especially weekends! Schedule is subject to change weekly. I have a big kennel in my home if it’s ever needed. I also have plenty of toys, treats, and other equipment like poop bags, leashes, or harnesses.

“Eric took great care of our dog while we were away. He was very respectful of our home, as this was our first time using Rover. Our pet is a senior dog who can be grumpy at times, but he and Eric became besties over the course of his drop-in visits. I would definitely choose Eric again if we need this service again. Thanks again, Eric!”

About: Pets are more than just animals. They are part of our families and deserv to be spoiled and loved since they are only with us for a short time. I do transports for rescues as often as possible to help as many as possible to find loving homes. I currently have two dogs and between jobs so my availabilty is pretty open. I can't do overnight/house sit because of my two boys, but can check in and visit anytime. I'm available for walks and house visits, but can't do overnights. I can check or visit at any time though. I treat all animals as good, if not better than my own. I appreciate their various personalites and quirks. One of mine is reactive towards mainly men and other dogs, so I understand some need special attention that others may not. They are all unique individuals.

About: I’ve cared for and helped train over 1,200 dogs, both personally and through professional dog training work here in Baton Rouge. From energetic puppies to gentle seniors, and from tiny lap dogs to large working breeds, I know how to make every dog feel safe, happy, and stress-free while you’re away. I am confident with strong or reactive dogs. Located in the Coursey / Sherwood area. My Services & Experience Include: -Dog Boarding in a comfortable, clean, climate-controlled home. -Dog Training in Basic Obedience - I can train your puppy or problem child. -High Energy Dogs - I am experienced in making sure they are entertained & exercised, with Jogging, Agility or Puzzles. -"Aggressive" Dogs - I am patient, resilient, & confident around "higher risk" dogs. -Dog Walking & Drop-in Visits, keeping your pup exercised and entertained. -Puppy Care & Potty Training Support. -Senior Dog Care - gentle handling, medication reminders, and mobility assistance. -Grooming & Bathing - I can offer baths, nail trimming, or simple haircuts & shaves. -Experienced Handler - I have worked with over 1200 dogs & I'm quick to learn each dog's wants & needs, ensuring they have exceptional care & stimulation. What Your Dog Can Expect: -A large fenced backyard for safe playtime. -Walks around enclosed private neighborhood. -Park trips (BREC parks) if you approve. -Consistent mental stimulation and affection. -A calm, structured environment tailored to your dog’s needs. -Sleeping in bed with caretaker if vacancy is available. Why Book With Me?: -Years of professional training experience. -Getting to Know Each Dog - Dogs are my hobby, & I take great care in getting to know each animal on a personal level so they receive the best attention possible. -Flexible pick-up & drop-off options - I strive for 24/7 service & response. -3 dogs of my own. Your pup will have friendly, well-socialized company (or solo time if preferred). -Plenty of space for dogs who need their own room, or if they like to socialize, a large social area for all pups to play & run around together. -Constant Supervision- dogs will almost always be heard or seen, as I do this work full-time. -Confident I can meet your pet's needs at a competitive price while receiving the best possible care & socialization needed. Let’s Meet! Send me a message anytime to arrange a meet & greet — I’m happy to make sure you and your pets feel comfortable before booking. I wake up around 6:30-8:00 AM most days and get right to work caring for the pets. Everyone is let out in backyard, or leashed up for a walk around the block. Pets are diligently cared for. Usually this consists of at least 3 walks per day, a visit to the park, and plenty of backyard time. I spend all day with the animals, leaving only for a personal errand or visit to the store. Each animal is analyzed carefully & fit into proper schedules according to their personality, levels of energy, and socialization. I provide a secure, fenced-in yard and individual kennels for each pet’s comfort and safety. Dogs start their day around 6:30–8:00 AM with a 10 to 30-minute walk, followed by supervised backyard playtime and snacks. Kennels are used only for rest and feeding—pets spend the majority of their day active, social, and engaged. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, whether that includes frequent park trips, light obedience training, short backyard outings or bathing. My goal is to ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and enriched in a clean, well-maintained environment.

About: Hey everyone. My name is Benjamin. I just graduated from University of Louisiana at Lafayette this past spring with a bachelors degree in Informatics - Interactive Media Technology. I do have a full time job working at Home Furniture Company with an IT Tech team. I am still fairly available after work and on weekends. I have a brand new 2020 Hyundai Veloster Turbo R-Spec, so I am very reliable when it comes to transportation from A->B. I love all animals. I currently have 2 cats, 2 rats, and 1 leopard gecko. My dog is still in NOLA with my parents. His name is Beignet and is 13 years old. He is a Maltese-pomeranian. My favorite dog breeds are German Shepherds, Pitbulls, and border colllies. My favorite fat breeds are siamese and tabbies. I was walking a German Shepherd consistently for over a year and a half until Covid hit. Don't worry, I am vaccinated. Reach out if you think I'd be a good fit! I currently work full time 8am-5pm, but am still fairly free after work. I am usually free on the weekends unless I am out of town visiting family in Nola. I currently have an apartment with my significant other. We try not to have other animals inside since we have 2 cats. But I am always open to going to a client's home to take care of an animal.

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.

About: I’ve had pets majority of my life. I grew up with dogs and became a cat owner as an adult. I typically have multiple pets at a time. Including cats and dogs at the same time. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I have several years experience caring for my own pets as well for several family members. I prefer a positive, gentle touch as opposed to a hard handed approach. But can be firm if needed. I am dedicated to making sure all of your pet’s needs are met. I promise to give your pet the attention they deserve and to make them feel safe and loved in your absence. At home we have a 12 year old 110 lb. mixed shelter dog named Libby. We recently lost our beloved Poppy, a 14 year old 65 lb. mixed shelter dog, to cancer. I am currently a homemaker. I have a 23 year old daughter who works as a paralegal and twin 21 year old boys who are Sophomores at LSU. I am a caregiver at heart when it comes to my children, family and pets. I have the time so I would love to use it to properly care for the pets of families in need of this service. I am flexible and available weekdays and most weekends. I can care for your dogs and/or cats in your home. I offer drop-ins and walks. Can stay with your pet in your home during the week any time between 9:00 AM and 3:30 PM & after 6:00 PM. And most weekends. I can also stay overnight if needed.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I am very good at taking care of dogs and I am very reliable with dogs. I am mostly available all throughout the day, some days I will have athletic activities. In the morning is when I usually have the most free time to take care of your pets. I can easily crate your dog if needed and I have a dog of my own to keep your pet company. I have a decently big yard so that your dog can run around and play.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Shenandoah

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.
