“I’m always relieved to leave my Shady with Kaylee because I know he will be in the best hands! She sends so many updates and is great with giving him his meds. We love Kaylee!”

“Melanie took excellent care of our pets and our home while we were away. She was very patient with our animals even with their difficult personalities. We would love to have her sit for us again!”

“Sierra did a great job. She did leave the cat poop in a grocery bag for a few days so when we came in the house didnt smell great. Otherwise she kept me in the loop every day, took pictures & sent & kept the house clean. I will most definitely use her again.”

“Chelsy was very communicative, was able to accommodate a extra night last minute and I had no worries while I was gone. I have 3 dogs, ages 7-14, with varying health issues and meds, Chelsy took care that all my instructions were followed. She had a extra challenge with it being NYE and one of my boys being terrified of loud noises (fireworks, storms, etc). Highly recommend and will use again!!!”
“Lyndsi was great! Punctual and went out of her way to make my pups feel comfortable in my absence. Even lending extra patience and care to help maintain cleanliness after puppy mishaps. Definitely grateful!”

“So this has been an unbelievable experience with Robin. We ran into some issues and wasn’t sure if we could keep our booking but Robin was more than willing to help us, strangers that she’s never met before! Not to mention how uneasy we felt about leaving our 4 month puppy who’s never socialized before with someone new! When we meet her that feeling went away immediately she slowly introduced her pup and cat to us and our puppy so he could warm up to them. We knew immediately we made the right choice and we will book her all the time from now on! Oh and she sends nothing but pup-dates and keeps in contact with you while caring for them! Robin is the sweetest person ever and very trustworthy. You won’t regret it!”

“Harley (Elise) provided exceptional care to our furry family members during the holidays. Her dedication and attention to detail truly stood out. Our senior pup received thoughtful care tailored to his needs, while our energetic boy enjoyed the perfect balance of playtime. Harley (Elise) went above and beyond to ensure their safety and well-being, especially during the challenging fireworks period. Throughout our extended international holiday, Harley (Elise) demonstrated unwavering commitment, ensuring our home remained tidy and our boys were happy. Her proactive communication style, regular updates, and prompt responses showcased a level of professionalism and reliability that provided us with immense peace of mind. Harley (Elise) not only met but exceeded our expectations, making our time away worry-free. I highly recommend Harley (Elise) and look forward to working with her again in the future.”

“Freddie was very sweet and open to all my communications about my dogs' various quirks and personality traits. When my dog injured himself the night before her stay, she took all of his care instructions in stride. When I arrived home, both dogs were just as happy and healthy as ever.”

“Allison took excellent care of our pets. She kept in constant touch with us while we were away. I was able to have fun on vacation and didn’t worry about my senior dog who can’t see or hear well. I will definitely use her again!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is that I turned my lifelong passion for animals into my profession. As an incoming second-year veterinary student at LSU, caring for animals is more than just a job to me, it is truly what I love to do every day. I am passionate about creating a safe, loving, and stress free environment for every pet in my care and treating them with the same compassion and attention I would give my own animals. My veterinary training and hands on experience allow me to confidently care for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring health concerns, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and providing attentive care for senior pets or animals needing extra support. I also understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions when caring for puppies and high energy pets. Above all, I genuinely love building trust and connections with animals. Pet care is something I intentionally prioritize within my daily and weekly routine. While I do work part time in a large animal emergency hospital, caring for animals is my passion and an important part of my life. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure that every pet in my care receives the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I understand how important reliability and communication are when trusting someone with your pets, and I am committed to meeting each animal’s individual needs, whether that includes walks, playtime, medications, feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship and comfort while you are away. Animals are truly a central part of my life, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, attention, and compassion that I give my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment where they feel secure and well cared for. I understand that every animal has different routines, personalities, and needs, so I make it a priority to provide individualized care tailored to each pet. Whether that includes playtime, exercise, medications, feeding schedules, enrichment, or simply companionship and affection. I strive to ensure pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide dependable, attentive, and professional care so that both pets and owners can feel confident and at ease.
Allendale pet parents share their Rover experiences
Chelsey is the most amazing sitter we have ever used for our pups. Chelsey is very attentive to our little guy Cruz and his needs. Cruz is our 4 month old Shih Tsu and absolutely loves Chelsey. Chelsey communicates with us often when stayingmm with Cruz and always sends updates with pictures while he is in her care. To say Chelsey love dogs would be an understatement, she is truly invested in her career and our puppies welfare. If anyone is looking for the best care for their pups, look no farther as Chelsey is the best!! Thanks so much for loving Cruz the way you do Kim & Stan
