“Karsyn does a great job caring for my Stella pig. She communicates well and is flexible with our needs. It brings me peace knowing that I can be away and someone is there that I can trust.”
“Christen did such an amazing job taking care of our dog and cat! I really appreciated the walks and photos. I definitely felt that Mango and Virgo were getting great care with Christen, allowing for me and my girls to have a wonderful vacation.”
“Debra was awesome!!! I have several cats and a dog, and she made sure all were cared for and given love. She sent me several pictures morning and evening and a report on how everyone was doing. She made me feel comfortable leaving my babies with her. I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life, mostly labs but have experience with other dog types as well. All dogs have a special place in my heart. I like to make your pet feel as if my home is their home as well. Any time your dog stays with me they will be treated just as I treat my own dog, with love, care, and compassion. I enjoy going on walks and would happy to take your dog on a neighborhood walk with me. I am happy to accommodate any other special requests you may have for your dogs visit. We have a dog park close by that I enjoy going to as well. Whether you are going out of town for a night or a week, I’d be happy to care for your pet My husband and I work Monday through Friday but have weekends and nights off. So your animal should be able to be alone for 8 hours. But on weekends and nights we enjoy going for walks or out to the dog park to exercise and play I have a fenced yard but dont leave animals outside by themselves. I will treat your dog just as I treat my own. I have a crate if your animal needs one it feels safer being in one.
About: I've owned pets my entire life. I have personal experience caring for a range of dogs from Mastiffs to chihuahuas. I also own 3 cats. I currently have a flex work schedule the allows me to leave work during the day or early if I need to check on animals! I live in a gated community, with a gated dog park across the street. My balcony is blocked off to prevent cats from jumping off.
“Brittany was the perfect caretaker for my dogs. I would highly recommend her and would without a doubt hire her again. She goes above and beyond in taking care of the animals, communicating , and so many other duties I needed her to take care of. She is a super pleasant and professional lady. I immediately had peace of mind I was able to enjoy my vacation with no worries which says a lot about Brittany. Thank you again girl!”

“We are die hard fans of Jessica! She makes the whole process so easy and stress free. No doubt in my mind that our fur baby will be in good hands. 1000/10 would highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Alana was wonderful watching my 3 big babies. I would definitely use her again and recommend her! One of my dogs had some stomach issues and she handled it and communicated well.”
About: Happy to spend time with your fur babies! Having two Great Pyrenees of my own, they are a large breed dog that has to have consistent maintenance! I often already doggy sit or help out my friends with their own pets. I’m currently not working just studying for a test to get into a program for a while. I have lots of flexibility and free time currently. At my own home I have two fluff balls who enjoy free roam inside during the day and have a large fenced backyard. They are spoiled down to getting pets when they want it and plentiful of treats! Lots of play time
“Ashley was great. This was the first time having a sitter for my 3 dogs. She had a total of 5 visits over 3 days. Ashley was on time & quick to respond with pictures of all 3 dogs plus 2 cats. I will book her again.”
“Ms. Jamryiah was very kind and patient with both me and my dog. I was initially nervous about allowing someone into my home and trusting them to care for my dog, but she did an excellent job. She communicated effectively throughout the process, and my dog truly enjoyed his time with her. I highly appreciate her professionalism and care.”
About: Hey, it’s Katie, I’ve been taking care of animals since I was born! I’ve professionally dog and cat sat since 2018. The first dog I ever boarded was an elderly blind dog named Daisy. She sparked my love for taking care of other’s animals, it meant so much to me to see Daisy happy and excited to see me come home, even if her human had to go out of town! I have two dogs, two cats, and two birds currently! I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs, special needs dogs, and giving daily medications. Munchkin, my forty pound American Foxhound, hates the rain, has separation anxiety, and has epilepsy so he’s medicated daily. I am a full time student with mostly online classes. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can work with special requests. I am all about communication and willing to accommodate any needs your pet may have! I have years of experience with different personalities, training, and caring for a variety of animals! I also have a waist leash to be able to walk multiple dogs at the same time, if that is important to your family’s needs!
About: I’ve had the privilege of making animal care my life for the past 30+ years. I’ve worked at 2 zoos, a wildlife preserve and now I pet sit full time. I love meeting new pets and their parents. My main priority is ensuring your animal is comfortable and safe while you’re away. I strive to give peace of mind to any worried pet parents. 😊 My favorite activities with your Furkid include enrichment with toys, fetching, dispensing treats and rubbing backs and bellies. I can medicate, give insulin and prepare special diets. I’m also trained in animal first aid and I excel at following directions. Animal care is all I do. I can do daily walks/visits up to 3 times a day. I’m also available for house sitting and overnights. I have a number of clients in the Baton Rouge area with different pet care needs and I make my own schedule. I stick to their usual daily routine or follow whatever instructions are left. I like to keep a consistent visit/feeding/potty time. I have a lot of patience and will encourage your pet to socialize with me. We can do whatever they like, play with toys, take walks, eat treats, rub backs or just sit together. I also water plants, check mail/paper and keep a general an eye on things.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
