“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.”

“Emma was awesome! She was extremely thoughtful and did everything we requested with our puppy. You can tell she really cares, and frequently sent us updates with pictures and videos! Our dog had a great time!”

“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.”

About: I have grown up raising pets of all kinds. I have many years of experience with animals, owning multiple cats and dogs. Not only that, but I am familiar with many different breeds of dogs, ranging from labs and german shepherds to bassets and pugs. I know how to take care of and have fun with any pet. I am currently in school so I'll have plenty of time to watch your babies after school and on weekends. I am currently available from 2:30 to 10 on weekends and 5 to 10 on weekdays. I have a fenced yard with grass and plenty of space for your pups to play. They would be allowed in any part of my house, so you don't have to worry about them being cooped up in the winter.

“Awesome Great communication and pictures to keep informed. First time for my elder schnauzer and young doodle to stay. They did well. Lots of love, care to make them feel comfortable!”


“Glad we chose Marquita to watch Roux. They were amazing together. She’s very caring and loved him as much as we do. Definitely found his new sitter. Thanks again for taking such good care of him. He’ll be back for future sleep overs soon.”
“Jason took great care of Frisco for 10 days. Frisco isn't a typical dog and Jason adapted to all his quirks. Daily updates and pictures kept up informed of his status and was much appreciated. Highly recommend.”

“Tracy was absolutely amazing with Rocky. She was so sweet and caring from the very beginning. She kept me updated the entire time, sending pictures and letting me know how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rocky came back home calm, happy, and not nervous at all, that says everything. I’m truly grateful for how well she took care of him. Highly recommend her and would definitely trust her again with Rocky”

“My pup stayed with Wren for about a week. She went out of her way to make my baby feel comfortable and kept me informed throughout the week with updates and photos. She took my pup on some wonderful hikes and overall, I think my baby had a great time. I would highly recommend Wren!”

“Emily was amazing with Zane. Another dog sitter from Rover cancelled 4 hours before I was to bring Zane to her home. So I looked through Rover again and found Emily. She was very accommodating as Zane is sometimes needy due to me spoiling him ?”

“So glad Snoopy could play with other dogs and Emery was able to squeeze us in for our weekend of football festivities! Snoop’s hooman big bro won too so an awesome weekend all around!!”

About: I’m a cat mom to three and dog aunt to MANY! I’ve never not had a pet in the house and love all animals. I have experience from helping to train puppies to caring for senior pets. I’m a fully remote worker and can be home with your pets all day! I’m very flexible with dates and can work to accommodate any days of the week. I can easily fulfill any needs for your pets in your home through house sitting. I can also care for small dogs in my home, if they are comfortable with cats. :)

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently have a 10 year old Weimaraner that is very friendly with a lot of energy. I have a huge backyard that is fenced in with plenty of space to run. I have been a dog owner since I was a kid. I work full time, but home in the evenings and weekends. My office is 15 minutes away from home. I work 40 hours a week, but home in the evenings and on the weekends. I can leave your pet in the backyard if the weather is nice. My backyard is fenced in. I have a 90 pound Weimaraner that is great with other dogs. My backyard is very big with plenty of space to play and run.
“Very pleased to meet Debra! When you meet her, you know she truly cares and she made us feel very comfortable while taking care of our dog. I can’t say enough, she also kept us updated with pictures. We enjoyed working with her and will be booking with her again.”
About: Hi, I'm Zoe! Im a junior at LSU and am majoring in biochemistry and I just got accepted into veterinary school (a future dogtor!!) I have grown up with animal constantly in the house and I have worked in veterinary clinics for 4 years as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician. I am well versed in caring for a variety of medical needs required by canines and felines. In addition, I have experience working at doggy daycare/boarding facilities. I love all different animals no matter the size and I am flexible with my schedule! I would love to care for your furbaby! I am a full time student here at LSU and I have a job, so my schedule works around the times that I am attending class and working! To be specific: Sat-Sun: completely free Mon/Wed: 7:00 am - 2:30 pm Tues/Thur: 10:00 am - 4:30 pm Fri: 7:00 am - 4:30 pm I treat pets as if they are my own! Whatever is requested by the owner, I will do everything in my power to make sure those requests are met.
About: I have childhood pets but now I live on my own with 1 cat (Drogo)! I’ve been around animals since the day I’ve arrived on this earth, I love my babies to death. Currently I have an Australian Shepherd, pit bull/ corso mix, as well as my Shih Tzu. I spend my time with animals through volunteer work or through my organization at school called the ACC ( animal care for a cause) where I spend my time giving back to these lovely animals. Pet care fits into my daily life because it is my daily life, I raised my dogs/ cats since my mom first adopted and owned them as I help give them walks/ feed whenever needed. And of course quality time all the time! My home is my dogs home, so everything about who you and what you do reflects on your animals. I treat them like they are human lol as I’m talking to them like they talk to me, overall just love is the best you can do.
“Daylen was wonderful with my dog, Molly. She accommodated her every need. Molly is on medication, has special food and a little anxious. Daylen was patient and caring. She played with her and walked her everyday. She welcomed Molly into her home like she was her own dog. Daylen exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend her.”

“Lauren treated Foxy like a queen. Wasn’t sure if she was going to want to come home!!!! We will be using her again! Received lots and lots of pics, videos and messages.”

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!

Nicest young couple; immediately made Turkey feel welcome in their home. Showed me around their backyard and home; helped me set up Turkey’s crate, and let me know Turkey was free to sleep in the crate or anywhere he wanted to. Very accommodating and sent me the cutest photos of Turkey and their 1 1/2 year old son playing/hugging each other. Will be my 1st choice sitter in the future.

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
