“Stephanie sat with my dog and cat for a weekend. She was absolutely AMAZING! She patiently accommodated all my requests and was attentive to all instructions I left regarding my home. And my babies just LOVED her. I will definitely reach out again!”
“This was our first time for Jaden to take care of our four legged crew. She was very accommodating with excellent communication. Our furbabies were of course happy to see us, but also acted as though we were coming home from any other Saturday outing and for me, that is the true test 😊”
“What a blessing it is to know your pet is comfortable and happy when you receive a video of them interacting and playing with the sitter like they were playing with you. Anyu is awesome! She took great care of our high energy dog, handled the late night barking and bonded with her like one of the family. We were comfortable when we first met you and able to relax on our vacation. Thank You again Anyu we will definitely be thrilled to have you house sit/pet sit for us for our future vacations.”
“She is great! Tig loved her!! She sent me pictures through out the day and kept me updated on him!! I couldn't have asked for a better person to stay with my baby!!! I will definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a babysitter for their fur babies!!!”
About: Pet sitting is awesome because I want to spend time with as many wonderful pets as I can. I'll treat them just as well as I would like my pets to be treated since I know how important they are. Prior to Good Dog, I would pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. They deserve the best care even the little rambunctious ones. I have been working and volunteering in pet care for years. Interacting with any animal makes me happy but bunnies will always have a special place in my heart. Regardless of whether they have fur or scales I treat my pets, and other’s pets as family members who need just as much love and emotional care as they do physically. Thank you for this opportunity

“Aaliyah is very sweet and trustworthy she stayed in our home to take care of my two labs. She was very sweet with my high anxiety, high energy, hundred pound baby 🥰 it can be very scary finding a new pet sitter to take care of your babies in your home Aaliyah was amazing sending pictures and giving me updates! I would highly recommend her to anybody!”
“The words can not express how grateful I am to have had her watch my babies! Patient Kind and Loving. She kept my house cleaner than I did before I left on vacation. The update pictures and texts were so helpful for me. And the little note. Thank you so much for my little gift too. You’re a BEAUTIFUL BLESSING TO US. Love Sherman Duchess Jasper Ruby and myself.”
“Jaime was a wonderful pet sitter. We really appreciated her attention to the dogs and the efforts she took to make them comfortable. She was prompt and caring. She went above and beyond what we asked of her. I would definitely use her again.”
About: I love working and meeting new dogs. Being able to provide one-on-one time with your fur baby is important to me and I look forward to forming new bonds. I have time throughout the day and evening for drop ins and walks. Ensuring your pet has attention and is loved is the number one priority for all visits. When caring for a pet in a client’s home I like to ensure the pet has an enjoyable time. I am flexible to do walks and rubs to keep your pooch smiling.
“Sydney was just the BEST! She was so knowledgeable and really took care of our Little Cooper. We loved everything about this sitter. She stayed on top of things to ensure he was safe and well taken care of at all times. Highly recommend this sitter.”

About: Hello! I have always been a huge animal lover and have cared for many in my past and currently have 4 of my own! I have grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life. I currently have three dogs of my own, Stormie, Maisy, and Lola, and one cat, Bean. They’re my absolute world and I could not imagine my life without them! I am available to house sit, check on your babies, walk them, and spend time with them. My schedule is quite flexible after 5:00 pm during the week and I am available most weekends, so just let me know what times and dates are needed and I can more than likely make it work! I cannot wait to meet your sweet babies! I’m currently working full-time from 8 am until 5:00 pm during the week. I can make sure to come check on your babies before I begin work, after work, and however many other times needed into the evening! I am available most weekends and holidays, as well! If you live nearby, I can also come check on your babies during my lunch break! I am highly experienced with taking care of animals of all ages, breeds, and size. I always ensure each animal has everything it needs (and wants 😊) while they’re in my care and of course give them all of the love and pets they want! I’m always observant and aware of an animal’s behavior in order to meet their needs but also know when to respect their space if they’re a bit shy!

About: I have owned a dog pretty much my whole life and each one of them I have treated them with love and respect. I have also taken care of a dog for approximately 3 years, it was a Pitbull/Mastiff mix. She was a beauty, I tend to grow so much love toward pets when I meet them. I like to treat each and every pet as if they were my own. Just as I would like for someone to treat my pets with respect and a lot of love, I would do the same to your pets. I own two dogs and two Sulacatas, and a bearded dragon; they are very much loved by me, my partner, and my children. I hope to be able to spread the love with other pets.

I enjoy being active so I for in activities every chance I get. I have a fenced yard but my pets are indoor pets so they usually just go out for potty breaks and when I walk them around the block.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Shreveport on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 99 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Shreveport. 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 Shreveport 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 Shreveport 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 Shreveport 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 Shreveport. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 91% 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.
