When there was an issue with my door lock not working properly, she contacted me right away and waited until I said it was okay to leave—something I really appreciated. It gave me a chance to get the issue fixed, and it meant a lot that she took my dogs’ safety seriously.

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.

“Lauren was incredible! I’m a crazy cat lady and kind of extra when it comes to my cats. Lauren followed all my instructions and sent me lots of pictures and videos. She will definitely be my go-to cat sitter from here on at. I’d definitely recommend her!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life but just recently lost my dog to cancer. I would love to give some of my love and time to other peoples pets with the extra time I have now without him around to walk and cuddle. I have had experience taking care of new born pups as well as senior dogs, small and large! I was also raised with cats and had a cat of my own. I have experience taking care of parrots, snakes, chickens, and turtles!! I currently have 4 chickens. I’ve cared for friends and family’s pets staying at their home and doing daily walks/check-ins. I am professional and reliable and love all animals! ❤️ I work part time and I am a student at LSU. I have a flexible schedule and I am around the home a lot. I have a fenced in back yard and a great neighborhood to walk in! On the weekends I am home mostly doing homework or yard work so I am usually available and can give a lot of attention to your pet!! Also, I don’t go to LSU games so I am available to care for your pets while you enjoy the game! 🐯 I am very caring and conscientious. I am always thinking about how they are feeling and I feel happy when I know my pet or someone else’s pet is happy and safe. I am very safety oriented and will always make sure the pets have the best care they could have. I have a great big dog bed and a fenced in back yard. I am very clean and tidy and I am used to a dog that would eat anything that is out and about so I keep everything organized and away.
“Ally was great! She was very attentive to my dog who is older with mobility issues and needs medication. She was great at communicating and took him on short walks. Always on time and spent a lot of time with him went above and beyond. Highly recommend!”
About: I grew up caring for two energetic black Labs, which taught me the importance of daily exercise and attentive care for high-energy breeds. I’ve also raised a Yorkie and French Bulldogs, so I’m familiar with the needs of smaller and brachycephalic breeds, including keeping walks safe and low-stress in warmer weather. Over the years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, providing feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. Whether your pet is active and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’ll ensure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I have flexible availability to fit your schedule! On weekdays, I have OPEN AVAILABILITY. I am happy to drop in to visit with your pet while you’re at work. I also have open availability on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I treat pets like one of my own! I make sure they have a comfortable space to relax, regular potty breaks, daily walks, and plenty of playtime and affection. I stick closely to their normal feeding and medication schedules and keep their routines as familiar as possible to reduce stress. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely. I keep pets comfortable in their own environment, maintaining their usual routines for feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime. I always make safety my top priority—whether it’s securing doors and gates, keeping walks safe, or sending regular updates and pictures so owners have peace of mind while away. I am also happy to FaceTime so your sweet baby can see you and hear your voice while you’re gone!

“Emma did such a good job caring for our two cats while we were away. She sent detailed updates and photos after every visit so we always knew our babies were well cared for. One of our cats is very shy and usually hides from strangers, but she warmed up quickly to Emma. Emma kept the litter box area incredibly clean and also helped us out by watering our flowers and bringing in our mail. She was great! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a dependable, friendly cat sitter!”
About: I've had pets my entire life, and have experience working with a professional trainer to train my own dog. I'm comfortable controlling larger dogs and I know how to ensure they stay safe and happy. I'm an online student and don't have many outside obligations, so my schedule and availability is extremely flexible. I love having an excuse to get outside and stay active! My current living situation doesn't allow for large pets, so my black lab, Levi, lives with my parents. I visit back and forth quite frequently to spend time with him. I take him on walks regularly, bathe him, and make sure he's happy and healthy.
“Sarah took great care of my cat Sylvia while I was out of town! I enjoyed the pictures and updates she sent and was able to better enjoy my vacation knowing that Sylvia was getting some play time and attention while I was away. Sylvia was very happy when I returned.”

rachel r.
“I have a young German shepherd that is pretty dog reactive and has struggled with walking on leash in the past. Rachel does well with her and is mindful of her personality and her quirks. Not only is she patient but she is familiar with my dog’s breed traits and is super flexible on time. The flexibility was great because I had a trip out the country for 14 days and Rachel was available pretty last minute. She house sat, took care of my pup from my instructions, and gave responses and updates regularly and often. I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone with a dog that needs a little extra attention!”

Alexandra T.
“Good day, Rover.com, My name is Trey Coon and I'm writing a testimonial on behalf of Alexandra Turner. I've known Alexandra all her life and I've seen her grow, learn, mature, and become the person she is today. My family and I rescued a dog five years ago (Kirby). As we took her under our care, we quickly learned she was abused (presumably by a male, from what we could deduce) and had a long adjustment period with us, especially with, since I'm a male. Now, thankfully, Kirby is very comfortable with us but is often very skittish when meeting new people. However, when she first met Alexandra, Kirby immediately warmed up to her and welcomed her to the pack. Alexandra visits us during the holidays and pretty much enjoys taking her of Kirby by feeding her, giving her unscheduled treats, and taking her for walks in the neighborhood or local trails. Kirby obeys commands given to her from Alexandra and my family and I are completely at ease when they go out on their own. I trust Alexandra with our dog and have no reservations recommending her to care for other families' dogs as well. Thank you.”
