Pet Sitting in Destrehan

“Kate came for drop in visits with our 2 tiny toy poodles. Our girls can be timid but I knew right away after meeting her that she knew how to manage these two. She and her husband took their time getting to know the girls and it was obvious the girls were comfortable! Kate made regular visits and was great about communicating, which put my mind at ease. If I sent a text or called there was always an immediate response. Kate also sent lots of pictures. We just got home from our time away and the girls are happy and healthy. We will most certainly be contacting Kate again. I highly recommend her sitting services!”

“Mimi was great ! She was very attentive and responsive to any concerns we had ! The dogs and cats were well cared for. We definitely felt confident that if she had any concerns or issues, she would have handled and communicated with us immediately! We loved getting pictures at each visit too . This is such a huge part of leaving ur animals home to be cared for by someone else when u go out of town ! Thank you Mimi ! We look forward to future pet care with you!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over two years and have built lasting relationships with clients who trust me to care for their pets again and again. I have a gentle, nurturing approach that helps animals feel calm and comfortable — whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or staying overnight. I have a sweet pit bull named Cooper, so I’m especially confident with big dogs and strong breeds. I also have experience administering medications and following detailed care routines. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like part of my own family. I’m reliable, responsive, and I send regular photo updates so you can feel totally at ease while you’re away. Whether you need a dog walker or someone to care for your pets while you’re traveling, I’ve got you covered! I currently work part-time as a physical therapy aide and I’m in school for radiology technology, but pet care is still a major part of my weekly routine. I make time for drop-ins, dog walks, and overnight stays around my school and work schedule, and I always make sure I can fully commit to each pet I care for. Additionally, I am getting married in December of this year!💍🤍 Between my own dog, Cooper, and my loyal pet sitting clients, animals are a constant part of my life. I genuinely love being around them, and I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being—no matter how busy life gets. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on making them feel as safe and comfortable as possible by sticking closely to their usual routine. I follow all care instructions exactly — whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or just cuddle time on the couch. During drop-ins, I give pets quality attention, playtime, and any necessary clean-up (like water bowls or accidents). For overnight stays, I create a calm, loving environment so pets feel secure while their people are away. I keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so you’ll always know how things are going. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

About: I’ve had dog, cats, reptiles, and fish pretty much all my life. I love meeting, playing, and taking care of animals. I live to see them happy and comfortable. I tend to get along with animals very well! I have multiple animals that I help take care of daily. They are like my siblings and I love them dearly. I am my family’s pet sitter and would like to expand. I much rather keep the animal(s) in their own home to be the most comfortable. I like to build trust with any animal I come to care for like it is my own.

About: My family has had at least one dog in our house since I was born. Everybody in my family has dogs. I have a few family members that rely on me to help them with their dogs when they need it. Everyone in my family treats their pets like they are humans and I do just the same! I am currently in between jobs so I’m available pretty much whenever. I do have my own dog at home so I prefer to not stay somewhere for a long, extended period of time. I am pretty flexible with that though so just ask me and I’ll let you know if it’s doable! I have a fenced in yard. I have a 14 year old rescue that just mainly stays to herself. There is a 1 year old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix now living here as well, under the care of someone else that’s not me, however she is very rambunctious with other dogs. I do not mind walking them around the neighborhood. In my family, we treat our dogs like they are humans and they are like our children!

“This is the 3rd time we have used Claire and we would continuously use her if it weren’t for us moving. She sends pictures every single day. Our cats are terrified of strangers but they’ve grown to love her which has surprised us COMPLETELY. Not because of the person she is but because that’s how scared our cats are of strangers. She takes amazing care of them and nothing less. My cats are always so, so happy when we come home (because they get to see us but more because they got to have a friend to hang out with for a few days to get away from their parents) and they’re well fed. She takes the time to play with them and make sure they’re active. She is always asking questions if things she can do for them to make them happier, or maybe ask about other toys we have to stimulate them. She’s a pet lover and it shows. She’s the only one I trust to pet sit my cats and the only person I trust to leave alone in my home. Sayings she’s amazing is an understatement. You HAVE to hire her for your babies.”

“Can’t say enough about how pleased I am with Laura’s service! I received prompts notifications about when she was going to see Blue and received pictures with every visit! I could tell clearly that Blue had a great time each day when she was visiting! Knowing that Blue was having a good time every day made it so much easier to be away on my work trip. I will absolutely be rebooking her again on my next trip!”

“Racheal did a great job taking care of our pups!”

About: I've taken care of a variety of different animals growing up! From reptiles to small mammals, to cats and dogs to fish, even live stock! I've always loved taking care of animals all my life so a job that involves them would be a dream so I am totally willing to give extra time to care for your loved ones ♡ Ie do have a cat, her name is Nimbus. She's 4 yrs old and she pretty much just keeps to herself. She's quite lazy. She's hasn't been around ither animals much, but when she has she hasn't really cared for them. We, of course, would keep Nimby and your pet separated to prevent any unwanted comfort, depending on how your pet does with cats.

“She was very nice and very good with my dogs. I would definitely use her again. She gave me daily updates when she’d come and check on my dogs and this really made me feel comfortable leaving them.”

About: I’ve had cats for 37 years and currently care for two—both independent, with very different personalities. My dog Walter, a playful and well-mannered Shepherd-Pit mix, is my first dog of my own, but I’ve helped care for dogs through friends, family, and past relationships for years. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and know how to create a calm, reassuring environment for pets of all kinds. Whether I’m caring for a curious kitten, a senior cat, a high-energy dog, or a more reserved pup, I adjust to their pace and preferences. I’m observant, reliable, and always make your pet’s comfort and routine my top priority. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available most evenings for drop-ins and walks, and I offer full availability on weekends for boarding or extended care. Whether your pet needs a quick evening check-in or a cozy place to stay over the weekend, I’m happy to provide consistent, loving care that fits your schedule. Pet care is a meaningful part of my life outside of work, and I treat every visit with attention and heart. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I have a fully fenced yard and a peaceful home shared with a well-mannered dog, two independent cats, and my 10-year-old son—who absolutely loves animals and is gentle, respectful, and supervised at all times. I can provide crate accommodations if needed and follow your pet’s routine closely. Whether your pet prefers quiet spaces or enjoys friendly company, I offer a secure, low-stress environment with lots of attention, structure, and love. You'll also receive regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away.

About: I’ve grown up with whole life with dogs, so I know the importance of taking care of your 4-legged family member(s) that are important in your life. I want to provide my services so that your fur baby is safe and comfortable in their own home, while you are alway from home. I’ve had small dogs such as jack Russell’s and as big as pit bulls in my family. No fur baby is too big or too small to love and care for. I am currently not working since I am finishing my degree in Nursing. The only work I have been doing is part-time babysitting and dog sitting on the side & weekends. I am mostly available weekdays from 8am-8pm. Weekends can be tricky for me due to other side jobs such as babysitting, so it just depends. Just ask if you have questions about any specific weekend. I currently have a recused pitbull-husky mix living in my home with me, that loves to play all day. She is currently going through heart worm treatment, so unfortunately she is not able to play or visit any dog friends until her vet clears her. Due to her circumstances, I have been able to learn more about pets medication and aiding in helping her through this process. Unfortunately, I can not have any pets in my home until she is heart worm free. However, I am available to help with other pets medications and care for your fur pup in your home.

“Terri was wonderful with our dogs. Two large dogs are sometimes challenging and she reported no problems. She sent photos each visit with updates. The dogs were happy in the photos and were actually calm when we came home. It was clear they felt comfortable in her care and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Terri again in the future!”

About: I’ve been a big pet lover my entire life! My family owns The Dog Stop in Baton Rouge so pets are literally our business!!! I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and start supporting their needs! I work from home so I am available anytime there is a need. I can come for early morning feedings or walks, midday, or evening. All details can be worked out when we make arrangements. I’ll spend as much time as you want with your pet while you are away. Feeding time, snuggles, outdoor walks, and clean-up are all included! Also, regular updates are sent home daily.

“She was great with taking care of my cats while I was away. she cleaned the litter boxes even though I said I didn't think it would be necessary. She pulled in my mail and a package. And she took great pictures for the Rover cards! Thank you!”

About: I’ve been involved in boarding and veterinary medicine for approximately 3 years now, although my love for pets has been as long as I’ve been alive. I value each animal as if they were my own and give nothing less than the upmost patience and respect. I feel confident in reading animal behavior, handling, medicating, walking, and so much more. I have a relatively open schedule although my availability is much higher in the afternoons. I currently am a stay at home mother, but with family support am able to still apply myself to pet care and stay involved in a world I love. I currently do not offer in home care at this time. As for patient care in a client’s home I am willing to do anything to keep the standard of which the pet is used to as much as possible. I will respect and honor any routine to keep the experience as low stress as possible.

“Candice did a drop-in visit with my dog Summer and was very kind and everything went great! She was great with communication as well! Highly recommend”

About: I have had a wide variety of animals through out my life. I currently have dogs, horses, chickens, and even a goat. I currently have a Great dane so large dogs do not scare me. I currently work part time and go to school. I go to in person school twice a week. On the days that I go to in person school I am there half a day. I am also available after I get off of work. I hand walk my personal dogs since I do not currently have a fenced in yard and my dog have free range of the house while I’m home. In the event that a client would like me to pet sit in there home over night, I would provide the pet with the same routine that the owners provide the pet with.

About: We’ve watched family/friends pets while away. We have a furry family of our own that we love and cherish, just like we will cherish yours! We currently only do volunteer work, so our schedule is very open. We will be able to dedicate a lot of time to make sure your baby gets the right amount of love and care! We always tend to the animals needs regardless of any situation. We have a dog that gets all the walks and cuddles, and two cats that are happy and healthy! We will care for your pet just like one of our own, and will listen to any requests that you have!

About: Hey there! I’m Sarah. I'm so excited to be here on Rover! I have been surrounded by animals my entire life. My mom was a rescue manager, so naturally, her love for furbabies poured over to me, as well.  I grew up helping my mom with our furfamily, fosters, and I even went with her when she was pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors. I wanted to be as much help as I could to my mom and them. Tho my mom doesn’t pet sit anymore, she is still my go to and may come with me from time to time to help. In mentioning my mom, she drinks coffee out of a mug that reads, "I WILL SAVE THEM ALL." I love that mug! We have a furfamily of 5 dogs and 2 cats. I love them all so much and am grateful for each of them. They make me smile from ear to ear on a daily basis. I also work full-time 3 to 1130 Thursday-Monsay. I could work on my off days, which is Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but that has to be midday visits/walks Available Thursday-Monday 7 AM to 3 PM. Of note, I will always do my very best to give plenty of notice for days I will not be available (ie. Holidays and personal time off, etc.). I offer drop-in services only. I am excited to have this opportunity to be there for you. I understand how important it is to be able to trust who takes care of your furbabies. I will indeed take care of your furbabies as if they were a part of my family.
