“This was our 1st time using Rover and Randy. We are very pleased with the overall experience. Randy was Great from the quick response to our request for service to the communication before the service began and throughout Jazzy’s stay with him. He sent pictures several times where it was clearly seen Jazzy felt very comfortable with him. We will definitely love to use his service again and will be sure to refer friends and family to him .”
“Cheryn was amazing! You could immediately tell she was really caring and passionate about dogs. Huey had a great time and we loved the great communication and pictures. Highly recommend Cheryn!”
“Lynn was great. She watched our two dogs (Greyhound and Cheweenie) over the 4th of July weekend. They tend to get nervous, but she made them feel comfortable. They were two happy campers when we picked them up.”
“We had to go out of country for 3 weeks…this was our first time using Rover. Ben was great with Koko. He sent us pictures and updates throughout the stay. We were very pleased and will be using Ben again.”
“Shannon was awesome. Our babies were so relaxed, and had a great time. Shannon treated them as her own dogs, and showed them love and attention. We received daily updates, and photos which eased our worries. We will definitely contact Shannon again for our doggie care!”
“Mike was so awesome!! I had a last minute booking and he was very accommodating with drop off and pickup times! He sent pictures and videos throughout my pups stay to ensure me he was fine and having fun! Highly recommend!”
“Leaving Bentley with Kate and Conor felt like having a friend take care of him! Bentley was immediately comfortable with them. Kate was attentive to all of Bentley’s care needs. Bentley wasn’t even that excited to see me when I picked him up, which always tells me when he feels right at home with his sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Julia is a fantastic dog sitter. We felt SO comfortable leaving our dog with her. She has two dogs of her own so she very clearly “gets it” and she went above and beyond to make us feel like Duke was in good hands.”
“Pauline did a great job taking care of Tupelo. She is very thoughtful about caring for Tupelo and asked a bunch of questions to understand the pup’s needs and routines. Pauline provided a couple of pictures and updates everyday, and was very accommodating when our flight was delayed and we were a few hours late to pick her up. I would definitely recommend Pauline!”
“Elena and Paco are wonderful! Chico loves them soo much! This is his second time staying with Elena and he loved his stay. I'm very happy I found someone I can trust to care of my dog while I'm out of town! Elena is great and caring! I wouldn't leave my dog with anyone else.”
“Roxanne was great and our boys had a great time. They slept on the ride home which is always a sign of a good stay. We will be using her again.”
“WOW! What a great stay my maizy had! The pictures I got I will save for a lifetime. Filled with so many activates and great communication the entire time. I would highly recommend!!”
“My pup stayed with Ellen for two weeks and had a wonderful time. She sent lots of photos and updates and took him on walks on Magazine street for stimulation. Was very responsive to my dog’s individual needs. We would def recommend Ellen!”
“I'm just so pleased with Dalia after my dogs' first stay with her! They're generally very anxious with new people. Dalia said that has typically not been an issue for her and turns out she was right! They seemed to really love her and warmed up quickly. She sent loads of video and photo updates and let me know how they were adjusting, which was WELL! She played ball with them and gave them time go romp in her large backyard but also walked them daily. She even sent a photo of them cuddling with her daughter on the sofa. Their stay with her was fairly short but I'm so impressed with how quickly they settled with her and how she invited them in as part of her family for the time she had them. I'll absolutely be sending my babies back to Dalia's anytime I leave town!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who will provide enthusiastic and reliable care for your pup! I grew up caring for my family’s dogs, riding horses, and pet sitting for my neighbors’ dogs and cats. Now that I work from home, I have time to give your dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. My fiancé and I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can enjoy outdoor time, and our terrier mix, Clementine, will be happy to make a new friend! I also have experience with senior dogs and understand that older pups may need a little extra comfort and care. Since I work from home, pet care is a part of my daily routine. Your dog will have plenty of company during the day! I’m able to provide potty trips, backyard time, walks, and pets routinely. My dog is absolutely a part of the family, and your pup will be too when they stay with me. Please be detailed with care notes or any special needs as I want your dog to feel at home when they’re with us.
“Alyssa was fantastic with our hyper boy! She was fast to respond with any questions we had and gave us the peace of mind using Rover for the first time and gave our pup the best time in New Orleans. It was so nice for him to have the freedom of her backyard to run and play and poop without fear! Flynn HIGHLY recommends and if we are ever in NOLA again, we will definitely reach out!”
About: My experience has been mostly my family and friends. I have taken their animals on walks, bathed them, fed them, played with them. Took them to parks and even trained them on new skills. Since I just graduated I have very open availability and ready to help. I am very organized and dependable, I value time management, my career/education, and most importantly taking care of people and animals. I am currently waiting for the new school year to roll around and continue my education so my schedule is free. I wake up early to work out but that time can be flexible depending on if I have a pet to watch. I keep the animals on the schedule they are used to. Feed them, fill water, walks, clean behind them, playtime, medicine if they need. Also litter box maintenance for cats. Also making sure we’re safe in the house and my phone near me to contact the owners if needed.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Waggaman is $40

Harlee was great! Very accommodating on such short notice. I didn't plan on using a sitter at all but Bourbon Street was just too overwhelming for my baby boy! I was updated so many times times during 24hr with pictures, as well as videos. Sterling seemed to really enjoy playing with her dog and son. I recommend Harlee for all your pet sitting needs!
Brie was absolutely amazing! 🥰 From the moment I dropped him off, she made me feel completely comfortable. She kept me updated throughout his entire stay with pictures and sweet text updates, and I really appreciated knowing how he was doing. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding with my early schedule and even worked with me when my pickup time changed. That meant a lot and made everything so much easier. He seemed to have such a great time with her and was clearly comfortable and happy during his stay. You can tell Brie genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave him. ❤️❤️❤️ I would definitely recommend Brie to anyone looking for a sitter they can trust. I’d absolutely book with her again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our experience with Lori was great! This was our first time ever leaving Gunner. We were very anxious but Lori and husband love for dogs was obvious from the first meeting. Although it was new being away from us, he was taken such great care of by them. We will be using them again for sure! We appreciate the loving care provided for Gunner. Thanks Lori!
Siraaj treated my pup like she was her own. It’s clear she really cares about providing quality care and attention to the dogs that she sits. She consistently sent video and picture updates throughout my dog’s stay. Definitely will be requesting her next time I need a pet sitter.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Waggaman can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Waggaman home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Waggaman.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Waggaman. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
You and your Waggaman sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in LA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
