“Savannah was our first sitter after my best friend got ill. We were extremely careful in choosing a person to stay in our home. Savannah loved our babies and we have no complaints. We will definitely use Savannah again.”
“Macy did an EXCEPTIONAL job from the very start! She has a wonderful, kind personally and is very easy to talk to. I could tell right away that she was going to be attentive to our pet's needs by her interactions with him and the questions she asked. She was punctual to the appointments and communicated to us via text on anything she felt may be good for us to know. I loved receiving the ext messages she went and the pictures of our pup while we were gone and knew he was in good hands. The day prior to the pet sit, she visited for a "meet and greet". That was so helpful, and important, because we were able to cover all the details in his profile, ensuring everything she needed to know was documented and that she could refer to it if needed. And in doing this, I realized I had left out some information that would of been good for her to have. So I was able to get his profile updated with this info before the actual first sit took place. There is no doubt in my mind we WILL be having Macy come again soon and she is now our #1 pet sitter! We are totally confident in her ability to watch over him and we know that she will care for him with the love and respect as if he were her own.”

“5+ stars. Alyssa recently stayed with our very nervous and energetic pitbull mix while we were on a long vacation. She stayed in our home. She was extremely considerate of our things and assisted with getting the mail, etc while taking excellent care of our girl. Her communication was great and she sent frequent pictures and updates.

About: I have a love for all animals, as a child growing up I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian Assistant.

If it’s a client’s home then whatever instructions are given I’ll make sure to go by!
About: Animals have always been a huge passion of mine, and caring for them brings me an enormous amount of joy. I’ve had animals of all kinds since the day I was born and have experience caring for everything from dogs and cats to livestock and exotic animals. I attended Louisiana Tech University in Ruston from 2022–2026, where I majored in Animal Science with a concentration in Pre-Veterinary Medicine. While at Louisiana Tech, I served as President of the Pre-Vet Club and worked as the club’s publicist. I also worked as a barn hand while in college and grew up working at a horse barn. Before moving to Ruston, I spent a year working as a veterinary assistant at a veterinary clinic. Pet sitting has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, family, and clients in Ruston. I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I recently moved back to my hometown of Mandeville, LA, and now have plenty of time and flexibility for pet sitting. I’m excited to meet new clients and, most importantly, make some new (furry, scaly, feathery, or hoofed) friends along the way! Since moving back home to Mandeville, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am currently taking a break from school, so I am able to work pet sitting and walks into my daily routine without having to rush between other commitments. I’m able to give each pet plenty of attention and can adjust my schedule around their individual routines, including feeding times, walks, medications, and other special care needs. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away! I’m happy to help with almost all of your pet-sitting needs, whether that means a walk around the neighborhood, a quick check-in, or spending more time with your pet while you’re away. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. With my background in Animal Science, experience working as a veterinary assistant, and years of caring for animals, I am prepared to recognize and respond appropriately to many common situations that may arise. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when someone else is caring for your pets. I will always be easy to reach while caring for your pet and am happy to answer questions, provide updates, or address any concerns you may have. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
“I feel very fortunate to have found Rebecca. There’s no other way to describe my dog other than special needs, and he was content comfortable and peaceful with her. It was such a blessing.! I booked her up through the holidays👍”
About: I've been a dog and cat mother for most of my life. I've cared for other animals for sometimes weeks at a time with no injuries! You can trust me with your most loved family members and with your home if needed. I can be available as needed by your pet. I am not currently working. I am happy to drive up to 60 miles each way. I would appreciate an additional gas allowance. If I keep your animal in my home, you should know that I have a Rottweiler. She is very friendly and loves other animals, but she's never been exposed to an aggressive animal. I have a cat who does not like other animals, but I will have no problems keeping her separate from your animal. I have a fenced in backyard and I enjoy walking over 10,000 steps a day so your animal has options for exercise with me.
About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.
“Ellen is great! She communicated everything with us, sent pictures, and reassured me that our dogs were in good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a house sitter!”

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 Waldheim 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 Waldheim 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Waldheim 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 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.
