“Savannah and Kadyn took awesome care of our dog, Rosie. They sent us multiple pictures and videos to keep us updated on how Rosie was doing and you could just see how much love and attention she was getting during her stay with them. Not only that, but they were so incredibly accommodating to us when the snow storm hit and our travel plans were disrupted. They even offered to have our dog stay the night before when we thought we may have had to leave earlier than expected. For pickup, they accommodated us once again, so we could pick up our dog late and then they were available when our time changed. They communicated with us so well the whole time and we are happy to have found a great dog sitter in Lafayette! We will definitely be using them again!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals from a very young age, growing up on a farm where tending to a wide variety of animals was part of my everyday life. That experience gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and the importance of consistent, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve become comfortable working with dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies who require patience and structure, to senior dogs who benefit from a gentler, more attentive approach. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs and am confident in following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. I’m especially mindful with anxious or shy dogs, taking the time to build trust and create a calm, reassuring environment so they feel safe and secure. I am currently working full-time less than 5 minutes from home. I feed my dogs and let them out around 7:00 am before work. My husband is home with our dogs until 2:00 pm before he leaves for work. I arrive home around 5:00 pm and I spend most of my evening in the backyard if possible. I have a fenced in yard and a basket full of toys. I have 2 dogs of my own that enjoy playing with others, so your pet is sure to be in good company.
“I took way to long to leave this review, Mark was super helpful and accommodating watching my pups last minute. He texted me and kept me updated so we could work out a pickup time, and was very kind!”
“Hannah was great and our pup had so much fun! She was very responsive and kept us updated on how he was doing. I loved that she sent us pictures and videos too. We will definitely be using her again!!”
About: I have had and taken care of pets of all kinds (but especially dogs) since I was very young! I’ve had experience with puppies, young dogs, and older dogs, male and female. Even now I help take care of relative’s dogs and I love it. I feed, watch, walk, and make sure they’re happy! I stay in good shape and walk / workout every day, so I am able to handle larger breeds if needed! I live near LSU lakes which is a great place for walking, I usually go around the lakes when I go for walks, so I am familiar with the area well. It’s a great experience for people and pets! I’m pretty flexible and usually available for any activities! I am going to be taking 2 online classes this summer which requires me to be home, it works out well to watch some sweet pups! I do not have any dogs or cats within my home currently. Any pet works just fine to be inside or outside! The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all fairly large open spaces and connected together.
“Thanks again for watching Ricky! He always has such a good time and it’s great to know there are folks I can have watch him who will look out for him. Y’all are the best!”
“Lauren and Cody took excellent care of Cookie ,and I intend to use them again and again. She loves them and she had a wonderful time. Whenever we decide to take another trip, they will definitely be our sitter of choice.”
“Absolutely love Janelle! She stepped in and helped us out even tho Theo wasn’t feeling too good and she helped make sure her got his medications on time and was eating well! Theo loves her and knows her home from the moment we pull in!:)”
“She was amazing! She sent me pictures of her and my fur baby and my Diamond started getting attached to her! She kept me updated the entire 4 days and I will definitely be returning if I need care again. I was nervous because it was my JRT's 1st time boarding but she made it super fun and relaxing for her! Thank you so much”
“This was Gumbo’s second stay with Nicholas and it won’t be the last! Thankful to have Nicholas keep Gumbo when we are out of town. We don’t have to worry about Gumbo at all because we know he’s being cared for!”
“Keith was friendly, very communicative and our dogs loved staying with him! He is also an experienced dog trainer and made sure our dog took his medicine during their stay. We will be boarding with him again next time we go out of town and recommending him to friends. Thank you for taking such good care of Scully and Fisher!”
“This was my first time leaving Toto at home with anyone outside of family, and Lauren immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease knowing he was in good hands. She took great care of him, and Toto took to her right away, even laying on her and relaxing. It was clear he felt safe and happy. He spent the evening playing, cuddling, and getting plenty of rubs. I’m so grateful for the care she showed him and would absolutely trust her with Toto again.”
About: I have always lived animals and grew up with dogs and cats. Working with dogs is a dream for me! I am more than okay with any breed, age, or size of dog. I currently have a sweet golden retriever and a kitten! I am very experienced with dogs, as i’ve owned many! I also help my grandma take care of her two puppies! One is a lab, and one is a pomeranian. So I have handled many different sizes! I hope you consider me in walking or taking care of your fur babies! I can ensure you they will be in great care. I am very excited to start my journey on rover! Thank you for taking time to check my profile out !
“By far the best pet sitter I have ever had! Would recommend to any and everyone. Beetlejuice didn’t want to leave. Wonderful family and pups got along with him so well!”
“I felt so secure leaving Oso with JC! She communicated perfectly, always responded in a timely manner, sent photos and updates on how he was getting along with others. I will 100% be bringing Oso back to her whenever I travel. Usually Oso can’t get away quick enough from people that watch him, but he hung around and wanted her to pet him when she came to drop him off. She has such good energy, very knowledgeable about all dogs, and I could tell Oso felt like he went on vacation with her!”
“Elise was very professional yet warm and kind. I think our lab may have not wanted to come back home. I will definitely recommend Elise to anyone looking to get their best friend back in better condition than they were left. Will use here again in the future if she is available.”
“Kenya took care of our Milo for 9 days while we were out of the country. And she was so awesome with him. She often sent us updates and pictures in regards to Milo while we were so far away. I really appreciated that so much! We will certainly book Kenya again! I wish I could give her more than 5-stars.”

This is the second time we leave Summer with Kayla. She was great. She took very good care of Summer. She sent updates and pictures frequently and was willing to take Summer to the vet after she developed a skin condition. Will definitely book her again in the future.
JC was great with Doc, and he got a chance to play with other dogs and we could tell that he had a great time at her house! She has so much knowledge about dogs and we honestly didn’t have to worry about him the entire time we were gone. We will leave doc with JC again now that summer is coming up!
This was my first time leaving Toto at home with anyone outside of family, and Lauren immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease knowing he was in good hands. She took great care of him, and Toto took to her right away, even laying on her and relaxing. It was clear he felt safe and happy. He spent the evening playing, cuddling, and getting plenty of rubs. I’m so grateful for the care she showed him and would absolutely trust her with Toto again.
Kairo and I moved from California and I was really hesitant to leave him with just anyone. My mind was changed after meeting Emma! Emma has been sweet and has maintained open communication from the date of booking up until the end of your booking! She has a comfy place and a pretty spacious yard! Kairo had a nail issue and she provided his medication and ointment and followed instructions carefully. Kairo felt right at home and I know he made himself comfy right away. I am so grateful to have met such a great sitter in the area! Will be booking again :)
Great sitter! Provides exceptional one on one care, giving them the closest experience to being in their home! My dogs even had their entire bedroom for when they weren’t relaxing on the couch with her. N worries about additional dogs arriving for doggy daycare, which is overwhelming for my dogs since they are small. I have used her twice and always had a great experience knowing my babies were comfortable and well cared for. Highly recommend
