“Lisa was awesome with my baby! I immediately felt comfortable after meeting her and her husband. Lillie was so calm which is a plus. Awesome people and they love your pup as their own. 5 star plus!!!”
“Porsha and her husband are fabulous dog sitters. They kept Rosie and Sadie for the second extended time period this month. She kept us well informed on their daily routine and sent many, many pictures. She treated them like royalties and we will definitely use them again anytime we need them if she is available. She delivered service above and beyond we could ever imagine.”
“This family is absolutely amazing! They took such great care of my two dogs and it was a last minute booking! Atlas and Kira had such a good doggy vacation, I highly recommend booking with Kelbie!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love and passion for dogs. Caring for them has never felt like a responsibility to me — it’s something that genuinely brings me happiness and purpose. One of my most meaningful experiences was helping my dog safely give birth to seven beautiful puppies and being there every step of the way to care for them as they grew. From the moment they were born, I made sure each puppy was healthy, well-fed, clean, loved, and properly cared for. I dedicated my time and patience to house training all seven puppies, teaching them potty training, crate training, basic commands like sitting, and understanding boundaries around the home. I even trained them not to leave the yard despite not having a gate, showing them discipline, trust, and consistency through positive reinforcement and daily attention. I believe dogs deserve love, patience, protection, and gentle guidance. I naturally create safe, comforting environments where animals feel secure and cared for. I pay close attention to their behavior, emotions, routines, and needs to ensure they stay happy and healthy at all times. Whether it’s feeding schedules, playtime, exercise, grooming, or simply giving them affection and companionship, I always go above and beyond to make sure every dog feels like family. Being around dogs has taught me responsibility, compassion, patience, and unconditional love. I take pride in treating every dog as if they were my own, and I’m committed to providing dependable, trustworthy, and loving care that owners can feel confident in. As a full-time dog sitter and babysitter, as well as a member of the Navy Reserves, my days are built around responsibility, reliability, and structure. I start each morning with a workout before taking care of errands and preparing for the day ahead. Whenever I have a babysitting or dog-sitting commitment, it becomes my top priority, and I dedicate my time and attention to ensuring that every child or pet in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after. My military background has taught me discipline, accountability, and the importance of following through on my commitments. Whether I'm caring for children or pets, I strive to provide dependable, attentive care that gives families peace of mind while they're away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention that I would give my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, routines, and preferences, so I make it a priority to follow the owner's instructions carefully and consistently. From feeding schedules and exercise to medications and special care requirements, I ensure that each pet receives the exact care their owner expects. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where pets feel secure and well cared for while their families are away.
About: Hi! I’m Haley, a lifelong dog lover who believes every pup deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. I grew up with my sweet Shih Tzu Bella and recently rescued a 5 year old rat terrior, Biscuit. I am very familiar with the joy, energy, and companionship dogs bring into our lives!

I am dependable, gentle, and excited to provide your furry friend with walks, playtime, cuddles, and the care they deserve while you are away. I'm available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I am more than happy to work with your schedule and provide dependable care whenever you need it most! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my TOP priorities. I believe pets deserve to feel loved and secure while their humans are away, so l treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and care I would want for my own. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, lil take the time to understand their routine, personality, and unique needs. I'll provide a calm, safe environment filled with plenty of affection, playtime, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. I know leaving your furry family member with someone new can feel stressful, so my goal is to give you peace of mind through reliable communication, thoughtful updates, and genuine care every step of the way. Requested information about your pet Before caring for your pet, l'a love to know all the little details that make them unique! Their daily routine, personality, favorite activities, comfort items, feeding schedule, medication needs (if applicable), and any quirks or preferences are all important to me. I would also love to know how they interact with new people, other pets, and their environment so I can help them feel safe and comfortable. Every pet has their own personality, and my goal is to provide care that feels familiar, consistent, and tailored specifically to them. I’m available after school hours and on weekends. As a teacher, my schedule is consistent, allowing me to provide reliable care before and after work, on weekends, holidays, and school breaks. I make time to give each pet the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed, and lots of love and attention.

About: I’ve been fostering and volunteering with dogs for years, so I’m comfortable with all kinds. I really enjoy training too, whether it’s playing ball, doing some basic obedience work, or just sitting and creating a relaxed state of mind. I’m good at reading cues and making sure the dogs feel safe while they’re with me. Options include field play time, scent games, recall work, and a slat-mill for burning energy inside during the hottest months. I am certified by Animal Behavior College and have been training at Larry Benoit's facility for about 6 months. I care for all of the dogs just like my own! I have many dogs here and allow friends to play. I can also crate and rotate if you're not sure your dog will get along with others. When we train, we focus one on one!
About: I have 12+ years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I currently share my home with my two rescues: Princess, a calm and loving 10-year-old lab mix, and Ross, a playful almost 3-year-old dachshund mix. My late German Shepherd, Thor, was with me for 7 wonderful years and passed in October of 2024 at 10 years old. Since 2021, I’ve been active in dog rescue and fostering, caring for countless pups including senior dogs, puppies, and even Amish puppy mill rescues who needed patience, rehab, and lots of love. Watching them blossom into happy, adoptable dogs has been one of the most rewarding parts of my life. My dogs are truly my world, and I’ll treat yours like family too. I have a fenced-in yard for safe playtime and a cozy home where they’ll be loved. You can always count on me to keep you updated with photos and messages, so you know your furry friend is happy and cared for. Right now, I’m available throughout the week since I don’t begin my full-time job until the end of October. Once I start, I’ll still be available for boarding and drop-in visits—your pet will just need to be comfortable with me being away during normal work hours. In my home, your dog will have a safe and loving environment with plenty of playtime in my fenced-in yard. I can crate your pup if that’s what you prefer, or keep them free to relax with my own two dogs—whatever makes them most comfortable. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your routines and preferences closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or snuggles. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for just like they do with you.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Baton Rouge
Ms. Min was incredibly attentive and caring toward my kitten. She was very accommodating and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable leaving my cat in her care, even before the booking began. She was always quick to respond and provided plenty of photos and updates, which gave me great peace of mind. Her cat, Louie, is also very social and welcoming, which helped my kitten feel comfortable and adjust to her new environment. I was especially nervous about leaving my kitten just days after she had been spayed, but Ms. Min took extra care to make sure she was safe, comfortable, and well looked after. Ms. Min truly earned my trust, and I’m very grateful for the wonderful care she provided. I would definitely book with her again next time!
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!
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 :)
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!
