“Jennifer was excellent! Our Stella is deaf and we treat her like our child. Jennifer went above and beyond with update texts, pictures and provided us such peace of mind. We will definitely be using Jennifer in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Before getting a dog of my own, I spent a year working with a pet sitting company, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and care needs. Now, my dog Miller is my whole world, and I understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your pets like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just extra love and attention, I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have another job however your pets are still my priority. I think we can definitely work something out to make sure your pets get the care they need. My dog Miller is a huge part of my life, and I take his care seriously, from regular exercise and attention to making homemade meals to keep him healthy and happy. I also travel often for work, and Miller comes with me whenever possible, so I understand the importance of routine, companionship, and making pets feel included and comfortable no matter the environment. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, loved, and at home.
“Jennifer was great with my furbabies! With this being the first time leaving them ever, I was a nervous Furman, but Jen made it easier. She sent pics and communicated everyday, and I really appreciated the updates. Will use her the next time I have to take a trip.”
“Danielle was great taking care of my Labrador and my mother’s Corgi. She communicated with us and made us feel totally comfortable having her in my home. I would definitely use her again.”
“Lauren was great! My dogs don’t like staying at boarding and having them be able to stay at home where they’re comfortable and know there was someone taking care of them made me much less stressed while I was out of town”
About: We have always had a house full of dogs and at least one cat, but now just me! They will have my undivided attention, promise! I am an empty nester and I can adjust my flexible routine to tailor your animals home life. I want to make the anxiety of you being gone, easy for them. I have a fenced in back yard and I only occasionally have my sons dog Ty who is a gentleman and so sweet so I will be able to play and entertain your fur baby and make them love their time away from you !

I am qualified in giving medications as I am an LPN currently at home between travel assignments. I am active and will play with and walk your baby daily. I am also very exact with following the instructions you leave for your doggo. My customers love that I send pictures at the end of everyday your dog is with me along with an update on how everything went. I have a passion for providing care whether it’s to humans or your pet 🥰. I can keep, bottle feed, and administer shots or any other meds you have. While I love cats too I prefer not to service them specifically. I will care for hamsters, Guinea pigs, fish, ferrets, and rabbits ! I hope to meet your fur babes soon! With love, Kiara I am a Licensed Practical Nurse currently off from a travel assignment. I’m at home all day tending to the pets I keep. My dog of 10 beautiful years passed away recently and I enjoy spending time with animals as I am not ready for another pet of my own just yet. I have no pets of my own so your baby will be the center of attention 😍. More one on one love, they won’t even notice you’re away. My Apartment complex also features a large gated dog park for some outside fun
“This was my first time using Rover and I’m so glad I chose Bobbi. First and foremost, she was great with my dog Lula and Lula did very well under her care. Bobbi kindly agreed to meet us ahead of time and and was ver forthcoming and helpful which made for an easy decision. While she stayed here giving plenty of love and attention to Lula, she was very respectful of my home and even watered my plants. Not only did she leave my house neat and clean, she went over and above by stripping bedding and emptying the dishwasher. Not only would I use Bobbi again, but I would also highly recommend her. She was great!!”
“Oscar took to Elizabeth immediately and appeared to be very comfortable with her. We received regular communication and photos while we were away. We are not from the area, just visiting family. Otherwise, we would hire Elizabeth again .”
About: I have fostered dogs until we found them a forever home. I have dealt with several different kinds of animals. Family and previous babysitting employers have relied on me to take care of their fur babies as well. I own a salon in Mandeville but i don’t have set days so i am available whenever as long as you book a day ahead of time! I do babysit for 3 hours from 2:30-5:30 but i am available after that! I have a fenced yard with two other friendly pups. I can easily crate any dogs if needed. Our yard is big so there is plenty of room to run around.
About: I am a very active person who thrives to make people and animals happy! I am passionate about staying true to my word and being professional. My schedule is perfect for this dog service.

Innocent college student here just trying to make a buck while having a good time. I’d appreciate the opportunity to meet your loved ones! I can’t wait to start making a difference in the dog community and relieving some stress from dog owners while going on vacation or just taking some time to yourself! TREAT YO SELF! Red rover, red rover send your puppies and kitties right over! WOOF WOOF!
“Olivia was an excellent communicator and she did everything I asked and more. I appreciated all the pictures and notes regarding my pets. The most important thing is I felt my pets liked her and that is incredibly important to me, especially my shy cat. I will for sure book her again!”

About: I’m a friendly, dependable pet owner who understands just how much pets mean to their people. I am the primary caretaker of my own dog, Freddy, he’s 3 years old with lots of energy, friendly with other dogs and loves people. I regularly care for my sisters dog and 2 cats while she is out of town, maintaining their normal routines and care. I live in a condo in Mandeville which means I have become extremely familiar with the dog parks, walking trails, dog friendly nature areas and state parks. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I treat every animal as if they are my own while providing photo and text updates so you can feel confident while you’re away!😊 Currently I am the office manager for a primary care clinic in Covington, M-F I am available before work, on my lunch break, and after work for drop ins or dog walking. My weekends are always changing and very flexible. I like caring for pets in their own home because that is where they feel most comfortable, following their normal routine and offering attention and companionship. On walks, I focus on your pets safety, energy level, and making sure they are well hydrated.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.
“The dogs love Grady and we love him. Always takes care of the house and the pups the way we would take care of them. We feel lucky to have him be our pet sitter!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and they’ve always been at the center of my world. My most recent pup, Effy, was with me for 15 years — she was truly the love of my life. While I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own again, I couldn’t imagine my life without them, which is why I’m so excited to be here on Rover! Your pet will be loved and cared for like my own. I can’t wait to meet them I work from home Monday–Friday, so your pet will have my full attention throughout the day — no long stretches alone. I am able to work remotely so care during the day is no issue. I live in an apartment in Meraux above my dad’s office, so while there’s no yard, we have plenty of space to get outside for walks. There are stairs, but I’m happy to carry pets up and down as needed.

FAQs for House Sitting - Slidell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Slidell on Rover is $49.95 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 582 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Slidell. 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 Slidell 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 Slidell 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 Slidell 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.
