Kaylee was such a delight! Shady looked so happy in all the photos she sent me, and she made sure he took all of his allergy meds the whole stay. She kept me informed and updated about him all weekend and I had peace of mind my whole vacation knowing my baby was well taken care of. I will definitely be calling her next time I go out of town!

About: I’ve been actively involved in animal rescue since 2012, volunteering, fostering, and transporting animal with CAA/EBR shelter. Currently i’m on the board and volunteer with Barking Wishes, a senior dog sanctuary in Central, where I spend time caring for and advocating for older dogs. I’m the proud pet parent of two rescue pets - one dog (a 9 year old Beagle mix and a 10 year old Tortie cat. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, giving me extensive experience with pets of all ages, temperaments, and care needs. Now that I’m retired, I have a flexible, open schedule seven days a week, including most holidays. I’m happy to work closely with each client to meet their pet’s unique needs. I carefully follow all care instructions and provide regular updates, including at least one photo per day (or more if requested), so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I’m recently retired so my schedule is open 7 days a week and most holidays. I’m willing to work with clients in order to care for their pet. I follow all instructions given by the owner. Depending on the client, I send at least 1 picture a day and give updates as requested.

Tenay was absolutely amazing! She is knowledgeable and a TRUE lover of animals! It was love at first sight for my baby. He completely forgot that I was in the room...and I loved it! She communicated well, was prompt and went above and beyond. I will definitely use her consistently and would recommend her to anyone.

I am a consistent repeat client of David’s and he does a wonderful job every time! He always takes my dog on long walks, is respectful in my home, and even gives Charlie meds. Could not ask for anyone else to give me more peace of mind when I am out of town! Thank you 🙏

Sarah proved to be a conscientious and caring sitter - someone who clearly is familiar with and loves animals. While I was away from home she sent me text updates on their care each day and also included a couple of photos of them enjoying her company. She arrived at my home exactly as promised and properly secured my home when she left. I would not hesitate to ask specifically for her help again - an excellent and reassuring experience.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple ages and sizes. I follow schedules to a tee, feeding amounts, treat allowance, etc. I even have a friend on call who works in a veterinary office if ever needed. I currently work full-time Monday-Friday from 9:00am-4:00pm. I don’t work weekends unless necessary, but not often. I would let you know ahead of time or not accept on those weekends. I usually spend my free time doing school. I will follow your schedule to exactly how you wish it be done. Including the usual wake-up and bedtimes that they’re adjusted to, so that they’re not getting off of their usual schedule with you.

Katelyn was great with our Babybel! We were worried about traveling without her, due to her old age and anxiety, so allowing her to stay at home while we were away gave me such peace of mind. Katelyn spent the weekend at our house with Babybel, and took very good care of her. She also sent multiple pictures letting us know she was a-ok. She kept the house clean, and we definitely recommend her if you’re looking for a good house/dog sitter! We will use her again!

About: I’m an LSU graduate living in Baton Rouge. I volunteered at an animal shelter in New Jersey for 6 years, and for 5 months at CAA in Baton Rouge. I have the animal’s and your best interest involved. I have patience with dogs that need it, but can reinforce behaviors that you’ve already implemented. Because of my full time job, my schedule may vary week to week. Walks, playing, and some grooming are all apart of the service. Large dogs don’t intimidate me since I have a Great Dane Pit mix back home. At the end of the day, my goal is to make the owner and the pet happy with the services provided to and for them every week. I currently travel for work, but am based out of Baron Rouge. I’m available sporadically, but I’m usually available for 1-2 weeks at a time. I currently have 2 cats, no dogs, but grew up with them. I would prefer to know if pets are to be crated, favorite spots in the house, etc. Your home is your pet’s safe space, so I want to make sure I’m not intruding

My first time to use Rover and the animals and I were very pleased. Their 24-hr care for our two cats and two dogs was special. Their care of our home was excellent.

David is a very reliable and caring sitter! He jumped in last minute to take care of Charlie over Christmas when we had another sitter cancel. He is very reliable and communicative and we could not appreciate him more! He does so well with our dog and we highly recommend you work with David! He administers Charlie’s pill daily, takes him on long walks, and spends tons of time with him so he is not lonely. We cannot recommend David enough!
