About: I grew up on a farm, had lots of dogs, cats, and all sorts of other animals to care for. As an adult, I’ve had quite a few cats, and I’m the current owner of three small dogs. I am currently working from home. Travel once a month. So I have plenty of time to check on the babies, play with them outside, and give them occasional treats. I have a fenced in yard that is designed for small dogs, a large dog would likely jump over. But it works great for the small dogs, plenty of shade, plenty of grass. And in the house, I have an abundance of pet beds, and blankies.
“Bobbi was such a great sitter for my 2 dogs while I was out of town. She was considerate, respectful, and reliable. She will be my regular sitter from now on and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet.”

I have my CPR certification for people as well as knowledge of CPR for animals. I have volunteered at the Northshore Humane Society and have always loved helping my friends and family with their animals. With Rover, my goal is to take care of as many animals as I can via pet sitting and dog walking! My love for animals extends to another level due my family members’ allergies as I grew up, causing me to not be able to have a pet growing up. I would love to show your animals all of my love and care! I work as a nurse at St Tammany Parish Hospital 3-4 days a week, so I am available on a variety of days of the week! I make sure to keep the homes clean and how i left them & make sure the animals are clean when coming inside after having outside time.
“Thanks Alberto! You provided the exact care that Shelby needed and we really appreciate your prompt arrival time and sending us a pic of Shelby during your stay with him!! See you next time!!”
About: I am a very loving dog owner. I grew up in two households with five different dogs amongst them. Now, I have a handsome Irish Doodle who’s very friendly and playful. I’m not allergic to any type pf animal so shedding doesn't bother me. My house already has a bunch of dog toys available to any dog staying here. I live in a dog friendly, gated community where we can go on long walks and make new friends. They will be in good, loving hands. I work from home, so I can move my schedule around virtually however I want. This leaves lots of opportunity to pay attention to pets and take them out or love on them when they need it. I have a large crate if needed, but I will completely avoid using it if I have to. When I step out I just put everything that my Timmy could get in to out of reach. Otherwise, I’m pretty accommodating to whatever your fur baby will need.
About: I have always had a pet since I was a child. We currently own dogs, cats and fish. I love helping care for other's animals. I am currently able to help whenever needed. I have a pretty open schedule to help care for your pet or pets. I am a pet lover! I prefer caring for pet in clients home. I believe safety is key and want pets and self to be safe. Once meeting a client I will assess environment and any safety concerns or questions.
About: I’ve fostered dogs from when I was about 8 until I was about 17, I then adopted my own dog. I’ve pet sat for family, friends and neighbors over the years, and used to work part time at a bording kennel. I have some experience with post surgery care, along with administrating oral medicine. I have experience with lots of different breeds (especially larger breeds) and personality’s. I also have some experience with cats, and have a bird of my own. I also have a little experience with reptiles, and i’m am open to learning anything new. I currently have a part time job, so I have lots of free time. I’m available most hours of most days, just need about a days notice. At this point and time I can’t normally pet sit in my home, as I am currently living with my parents. Sometimes we can take a male dog, my dog gets along with all male dogs, and only females with slow and proper introduction. You can always reach out and I can talk to my parents. Dog must also be kid friendly, as we have my one year old son in the home as well 😊
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same attention I’d give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to provide dependable care and peace of mind for every family I work with. I work a full-time job 7am to 5pm 4 days a week. I am available three days out of the week and also Anytime from 5:30 PM till 5 AM 6 days a week and all day Sunday. I have a fenced in yard and also have my fur baby at home who is well taken care of he’s more like a human than anything. I can also board your fur babies and also stay in your house overnight as needed.
About: As a professional dog trainer, I’m especially comfortable caring for dogs with fear, anxiety, reactivity, separation-related challenges, or other behavioral needs. I understand that these dogs often need more than basic care—they need their environment and routines managed thoughtfully so they can feel safe and successful. I’m also experienced with puppies, senior pets, and animals who need extra patience or individualized care. My goal is to provide dependable care while respecting each pet’s unique personality, needs, and comfort level. Pet care is an important part of my work, so I’m able to build my schedule around the pets in my care rather than fitting visits in around a full-time job. I offer flexible scheduling for house sitting and drop-in visits, and I’m able to accommodate pets who need a little extra time, patience, or consistency. I limit my bookings so that each pet receives the attention and care they deserve. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. In your home, I maintain your pet’s normal routines as much as possible and follow your instructions closely, while also paying attention to body language and stress signals so I can adjust as needed. My experience as a professional dog trainer means I’m comfortable recognizing when a dog is uncomfortable, overwhelmed, or needs more space, and I take a proactive approach to preventing problems rather than waiting for them to happen. I’m also happy to accommodate special routines, medications, management plans, and other individual needs whenever I can.
About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Covington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
