About: I have been a passionate pet owner for the last 20 years, as well as a veterinary assistant, foster/rescue advocate, and trainer. I am a licensed human nurse currently working as a stay at home mom, but absolutely love working with animals of all kinds, and wish to continue to help pets and their families in any way that I can. Because of my unique experiences, our home is a wonderful place for me to continue to be involved in pet care and training, and for pet parents to seek skilled quality care. I have been trained in various animal medical skills such as pill administration, injections, subcutaneous fluid administration, topical skin medication/eye medication administration and basic first aid, so caring for animals with ongoing medical needs, mobility restrictions, or medical conditions related to advanced age are not outside of my skill level. My husband Jonathan and I have 3 sweet, well supervised, and well behaved children, and can provide a wonderful boarding or daycare environment for pets that have anxiety with child exposure. There is always someone home when there is a guest pet present, and they are given access to the same amenities that we enjoy- comfy furniture, plenty of safe places to play with close supervision, toys for enrichment, and a clean place to do their "business". Our own dogs have been very well socialized and enjoy the opportunity to interact and play with new friends of all sizes and species. They are excellent with dogs of all sizes as well as cats and exotic pets. I know that routine is very important for some pets, and that disruption of typical routine can cause anxiety. Because they're is always someone home, we can follow care instructions closely to try to emulate the routine that your pet is familiar with. Our home is just shy of 2,000 square feet on 3 acres and has a large fenced back yard for potty and play. Pets will NOT be left outside unsupervised at any time. We do have a covered patio in the back yard as well for shade, and will provide cool, fresh, clean water outdoors during supervised playtime if outdoor play is desired. Indoors, guest pets will have access to our kitchen, dining, and living space. All flooring is hard for easy mess cleanup, and for easy puppy potty training. Off limits sections of the house (ie: storage room, bedrooms when unoccupied) will remain closed or gated. Pets will sleep in our room with us when directly supervised. Our indoor environment is air conditioned and remainds approximately 70-74 degrees year round. Our home is in a wonderful edge of town peice of property that is easy to access from the main highway and far enough from neighbors to be very peaceful. There is a subdivision with nice sidewalks with light traffic residential streets for plenty of leashed walking less than half a mile down the road. There is also a large park nearby. Plenty of exercise can be provided for pets that need it, and I love being outdoors myself. I am currently a stay at home dog and kid mom so I have plenty scheduling flexibility to accommodate things such as medications and potty training I have a fenced yard for free running and play and all of my dogs are crate trained for their safety in case it is needed either with client dogs or for another reason
“Logan is wonderful! She took such great care of my 3 dogs! While away Logan sent me pictures and communicated with us the entire time. I will definitely be booking Logan to stay with my girls again?. Thank you Logan!!”
“Callie did amazing work it’s our three pups. She communicated quickly and clearly, followed all of my very lengthy instructions, and best of all, our oldest loves her which says a lot! Will absolutely be using her again for our next trip!”
“Alexus was so great with our Iris! We were gone for 2 weeks, and came home to a happy, well cared for dog, and house! She also sent pics while we were gone, which was much appreciated. Iris clearly loves her and considers her a new buddy! Alexus is soooo sweet! We just love her and will absolutely use her for all of our future trips if she's available. I highly recommend her if you need a pet sitter!”
About: I am a woman in my late 50's, (a mom and a grandma) who has been taking care of "critters" of all types for over 20 years, between Texas, and my home state of Minnesota. I am basically available all the time since I am retired from my career field, in Nutrition, and do this full-time now. I have done pet sitting, on the side, even while working in my career field, as animals have always been my passion. My place is in the country and very pet friendly. I have a small Chihuahua mix, a standard Dachshund, and a shepherd mix, who are all quite friendly. Your pet can be immersed with mine, or kept in a separate, fenced area; whichever works best for your pet. All can be confined as to provide your fur baby plenty of tlc and attention.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. Me and my girlfriend (also a rover sitter) currently own a pit bull, a senior lab, and a 2 year old Cane Corso. Good with all dogs including large breeds. I work full time as a land surveyor Monday through Friday. But I would be good for things such as evenings out and weekend getaways. I genuinely understand how important your pets are to your life and will treat them with the same respect and love I treat my animals.
About: I grew up on a horse ranch in Montana. I’ve taken care of all types of animals from warm and fuzzy to cool and scaly! I love them all ! I am available after 3:00 most days and am able to come play with or go for walks with your pups! I am also available for extended stays! I can look after horses, chickens, reptiles and more ! My dogs are played with and let out multiple times a day. They get fed twice a day once in the morning once at night. I can also administer medications safely as I worked in vet clinics and humane societies in the past!
“Kylee is awesome!! She is super caring and communicative! My animals loved her! Unfortunately she got sick during the stay so we had to finish the stay with someone else. I’ll definitely be booking with Kylee again in the future! She provided excellent care!”
“Dominique did a fantastic job sitting my 2 pups! She was on time, engaged with the pups, asked questions about their needs and care, and gave me updates to let me know how they are doing. One is a senior dog with health issues and she managed that very well. I highly recommend and will be using her again!”
About: I got my first dog 5 years ago and have cared for and enjoyed him ever since. My family has also raised doodle puppies out of our home for a few years now. I've been woken up in the middle of the night, cleaned up messes, searched for dogs that ran away and been on countless dog walks. I love dogs but we've also had cats, bunnies and turtles. I promise you, your pets will love hanging out with me while you are on a trip or at work! I am currently living in Texas with my family until August when I return to school. My schedule is very open, I'm not working currently and I'll do my best to help you out! I can walk your dog as often as you need or run them until all their puppy energy is used up! I'll do what it takes to make sure your buddy is safe and happy!
“Enya was absolutely AMAZING with our dogs while we were away for a full week! From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. She stayed in our home and treated it — and our pups — with such care and respect. Every single day she sent thoughtful updates along with the sweetest photos. Seeing their happy faces and wagging tails meant the world to us and made being away so much easier. It was clear they were not just being “watched,” but genuinely loved and cared for. We came home to relaxed, happy dogs and a home that was just as we left it. That speaks volumes! Enya goes above and beyond, and we would trust her again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for someone reliable, communicative, and truly compassionate with animals, Enya is the one. We couldn’t recommend her more highly! 🐾💕”
“Wonderful human who works with my crazy work schedule and actually took care of my dog!! Showed up when she said she would, went above and beyond for my dog in the little things and extra walks. Showed real care and support for my senior mama doggo! Best sitter so far!”
“Lauren took wonderful care of our dog while we were away! It was so nice to see pictures and know that she was getting lots of cuddles. It was easy to communicate with Lauren and our dog loved her.”
“Kelley was great! Our house looked beautiful when we got home and our doggy was happy! She also sent me pictures every day of their adventures which was such a comfort! So good to see him acting normally while we were gone!”
“Anna is a great pet sitter. She's very responsive and attentive, does timely walks and meals, and is great at following instructions for specific pet care. I will definitely hire her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Slidell
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,143 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Slidell. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
