Very nice and patient with my nervous puppy! Sent a cute picture while on their walk and told me about how it went. She also brought treats with her to reward him for pottying outside.

Savannah always takes great care of my girl. She’s patient with her and adjusts the walk to what my dog is most comfortable with. Highly recommend!

About: Hi! I am a dog-lover and mom, and will do whatever it takes to spend time with dogs and more dogs! I love going to the dog park to see dogs play and just simply be dogs. I have been a proud mom of an old Great Dane, and currently a 6-year old. I have also watched friends’ and family members’ dogs for a couple of days to up to a few weeks. I love having them around me. I will take wonderful care of your four, three, or even two legged animal, because all dogs deserve the best! I love walking, running, laughing and playing with dogs, so whatever your fur-baby needs, they shall have! I hope we have the opportunity to meet soon! I would love to help out you, and most importantly, your animal! I have a daytime, during the week job, but can fit in your animal’s needs around my schedule. Weekends are always wide open for me I make sure to update you with pictures during your pet’s stay, and have plenty of toys for your baby to play with. I make sure to keep doors closed and open them carefully, so they don’t escape

About: I’ve raised my dog, Tino, since I’ve been 10! I’ve gone through all the stages from a pup to now a senior dog. I am also currently studying to become a DVM so I love all furry friends! :) I have 100+ volunteer hours at animal shelters and I currently work part time at a pet boarding facility. I’m free mostly every weekday and anytime on the weekends. I usually take pets out 3-4 times a day for potty breaks. I love every pup size and I’ll enjoy snuggling with them or running around with them! I have a fenced backyard with a super chill senior dog that would love to meet other animals. We have a very calm home so no loud noises or disruptions. I also have a crate for small to medium dogs if needed.

Anna is great! My old dog walker had to move, and I found Anna on short notice. She is such a blessing and takes great care of my pup. I know that he is well taken care of when I am at work.

About: i’ve grown up around very large dog breeds. I have experience caring for all breeds and sizes. i would definitely enjoy taking your dog for a walk around the neighborhood or maybe even a hike if they would enjoy that! I will also work on manners and training with your pup if that’s something you’d be interested in. I would also provide a bath and brush out if wanted and/or needed.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, including dog sitting for friends and neighbors and owning my own dog for the past six years. As a dog owner, I understand how stressful it can be when your dog is out of sight, so I closely supervise dogs at all times and do not allow off-leash activity or interactions with unfamiliar dogs. Safety and attentive care are always my top priorities. I work remotely during the day and attend school in the evenings, so I am only away from home for a short period, about three hours. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, timely walks, and attentive care throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and one dog in my home. Dogs are always closely supervised, kept on leash outside the yard, and never allowed to interact with unfamiliar dogs. Safety, structure, and consistency are my top priorities.

About: I live alone with no kids or other pets, which means your dog will enjoy a calm, quiet environment with my full attention. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to provide care, companionship, and supervision. I have a fenced-in backyard for safe play and outdoor time. As a lifelong animal lover and former German Shepherd owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of pet care—my favorite part was the bond we built through daily attention and affection. I bring that same love and dedication to every dog I welcome into my home. I have a very flexible routine since I work from home and live in a walkable neighborhood. I love taking walks throughout the day, which makes it easy and natural to include your dog in my daily schedule. Whether it’s morning strolls, midday potty breaks, or evening wind-down walks, your dog will fit seamlessly into my routine and get plenty of attention and exercise. In my home, your dog will be cared for with close attention to their specific routines and needs. I’ll follow your instructions exactly—whether that’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, crate training, or preferred walking times. I understand how important consistency is, especially when your dog is adjusting to a new environment. With a fenced-in backyard, your pup will have a safe space to play and explore freely. Since I work from home, I can easily adapt my day to match your dog’s routine and ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for throughout their stay.

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.

About: I am a Least intrusive minimally aversive dog trainer, and AKC evaluator. I foster with multiple rescues. I have experience working with all types of dogs. I am very knowledgeable on dog body language, behavior, and genetics. You can also visit us on instagram for pictures of past and current boarding pups, and don’t forget to send us a message on Instagram with the word “Rover” to unlock an exclusive discount Avalon.k9s I have a flexible schedule as I work for myself, I spend my free time training dogs, and when I’m busy I’m also training dogs. I have a whole room in my house dedicated to dogs, but they’re welcome anywhere in the house, I have a fenced in yard and I’m located close to some lakes. I have tons of unique enrichment opportunities for your pups, including things like snuffle mats, puzzles, kongs, and more. My house is puppy proofed, because I often foster and train dogs! Being a multiple dog household I cannot board any dog with same sex aggression, human aggression, or idiopathic aggression, and reactive dogs will be a case by case basis, However, being a trainer I am more than open to help families work through these issues. Please let me know of any medical conditions or allergies! I like to use treats when working with dogs, so I recommend bringing some yummy high value treats so their tummy doesn’t get upset! If you are interested in dog training and would like to do a Board & Train contact me for more details! I also offer training packages during boarding, so if you want your pup to work on some basic obedience feel free to ask for more info!

About: I have had numerous pets since I was little, from ducks to dogs I can do it all! I have been pet sitting friends and family’s animals since I was 14 and even stayed the night/nights if requested. Also, I have 9+ years of customer service experience so I am very well rounded with people and strive to meet their needs! I can’t wait to meet and play with your fur babies! I have a full time job M-F but pet sit in my spare time! I love going for walks and like to run for exercise so your fur babies can get some sun with me! I am available to house sit during weekdays and weekends. I do work 9:30a-6pm M-F. I work from home! Some of my clients are okay with me working from their homes while I am pet sitting. I will make sure I ask that when I am getting to know you! (: ***Attention*** The rates I have posted on my Rover account differ from client to client. If you live more than a 4 mile radius from my home, I do have to increase the price for gas purposes. I always try my very best to accommodate families who are living on a budget. If you have any questions/concerns about this, please feel free to ask them. Also, as for safety, I do like to bring my mom along with me on the initial meet and greets and I’ll make sure I ask before doing so! I can come to your location or stay at your home whether it be 1 day or several! I always like to meet with clients before I stay at their home and meet your pets so that you can see how much I care about you and your pets and so you both can get to know me and be comfortable with the care you receive! Please inform me of all medications and what times they need to be administrated to your pet. Also, if they have any allergies or conditions I should be aware of (: I unfortunately can not offer my own home as a form of pet stay/care.

Shania was so communicative when my dog was being challenging. She even went the extra mile and was willing to come over and meet my dog later that day when I was home so Bonnie could warm up to her

About: I've taken care multiple different breeds and ages of dogs, ranging from 1yr - 12yrs. And if there is more than 1, no worries! I have had experience with pet sitting 4dogs at a time. I am taking the summer to adjust to new graduate life outside of school and am looking for a unique experience to fill in some of the gaps in my schedule, especially during the weekdays, while I am preparing to work full-time in the fall. While I cannot house a dog in my own home, I am able to crate your dog, play with them, stay with them, and enforce rules all the while using my best judgement in doing so.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and have always had one by my side. Over the years, my family has owned a variety of breeds, including a Yorkie, Beagle mix, Chocolate Lab, Golden Retriever, and Miniature Doodle, which has given me experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. During my junior year of high school, I adopted my own Yorkie puppy, who is now 3 years old and truly my best friend. Having cared for dogs my whole life, I understand how important it is for every dog to feel safe, loved, and cared for. I take pride in making sure each pet gets the attention, patience, and care they deserve. Dogs may not be able to talk, but I will always make sure their needs are understood and met. As a full-time student at LSU, I have a very flexible schedule and currently do not have another job, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. I am available Monday through Saturday for whatever times are needed, whether that includes walking, feeding, watering, playing, or simply keeping your dog company. For the summer, my schedule is completely open from the times 7am-5pm, so I am available whenever you may need reliable and loving pet care. I’m committed to making sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I will send lots of pictures of your furry friend because I believe it gives a piece of mind to doggy parents and will play with them intill they run through all their energy!
