About: I worked as a full time teacher during the week, but I am a full time pet lover at all other times of the day. I am willing to learn and grow with your pet and their likes and dislikes. I have owned pets all my life, from horses to cats to sheep and pigs, but dogs and I really connect with each other. I am a total dog lover. I have 2 dogs of my own who love to meet and play with other pups. Request any info necessary to increase how comfortable with your dog with me. I look forward to meeting you and your dog whenever you book. Thanks in advance for everything!! Full time dog sitter with other part time work such as dog walking. Working on school as well, so I have time to give the dogs full attention. The dogs I sit have the same things I give my dogs such as treats and comfy spots to sit and nap. I have a porch for playing as well.

This was my first time using the Rover app, and Nicole was amazing. She came over a day early to meet my dog, Jake, make sure they got along, and pick up a key. They immediately hit it off, and she went above and beyond while I was out of town. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, took him on car rides, and even let him visit with her pups, with my permission of course. Jake was more sad watching her leave than he was excited to see me, lol. I highly recommend Nicole and will definitely be using her again!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I love every dog like they are my own. All dogs need to know is that they are loved and cared for. I’m currently working from home. It’s a slow time in my work schedule so I have a lot of time on my hands. I have a fenced in yard. I have 1 dog currently but have had several dogs over my lifetime. I love them so very much.

About: Nothing, I'm just a regular guy that dogs&cats know is a great person. I give off good vibes only. This is an opportunity to learn about pets in general and meet new people. Open to negotiation on a price we both can agree on. If you're a fan of anime, I'm your guy. Easily. I've fallen on hard times and am learning new skills currently. Which makes me available all the time. All day every day. Always available essentially. I like to be secure. Always lock the door before leaving the house. I’m a 2nd black belt in Taekwondo, blue belt in BJJ, and have practiced Muay Thai and Judo, and am a decorated wrestler. If it's a big dog I am sitting and anything happens we will become a tag team in perfect sync. The 2nd thing is organization and cleanliness. I despise clutter, hate leaving a mess. My greatest offer is security when I watch your pets and your home.

About: I will love and care for your pets like they were my own, creating less stress for you while you are away from home. I am an older, responsible single woman so I can give your pets the full attention they deserve, giving you peace of mind. I am here to help and make pets happy! I have a completely flexible schedule, available when you need me. Pet sitting for your fur babies is my full time job. As long as I do not have another client booked, I can make your schedule work for me. I have a fenced yard and very friendly 7 year old named Laila. I am happy to walk pets any time they need, give out meds, cuddle inside or play tug of war in the yard. I’m happily adaptable to what they need and want with your prior approval of activities.

About: Hello neighbors and fellow pet parents! My name is Allie and I am a full time night shift RN. What full time means for me: I work three 12 hour night shifts per week and on those days and for half the day after my 3rd shift I don’t offer pet sitting services because your animals deserve all the attention. It also means that I am home 4-5 days out of the week all day. I have two indoor/outdoor cats named Karma and Mo. I also have a sweet 7lb Chiweenie named Murphy. All of my animals are fixed and UTD on vaccinations. I have a large fenced in back yard that has plenty of room for more paws. My cats keep to themselves and are used to Murphy’s zoomies. Murph loves dogs and cats of all sizes as well as children (talk to me about babysitting as well). I am just looking to give Murphy some socialization and playtime with friends on my off days and have more doggos to pet 🥰 I am home during the daytime and I work 3 night shifts per week that is not a set schedule. I will update my specific availability every month. I have a large fenced in backyard and I live close to Lafreniere park for frequent walks if the weather is right. Murphy loves laying in the sun and running around with any animal that will play with him. He even befriended a neighborhood turtle. I also love the outdoors so you can expect me to sit outside and play with the dogs while enjoying the sun myself. We love outside but we are also couch potato’s on my off days! All of my pets sleep in bed with me but Murphy is also crate trained and stays in his crate when I work and is able to be crated if necessary.

About: I grew up with all different kinds of dogs! I have a biggg soft spot for senior pups, as their powdered sugar faces make them the sweetest :) I am a full time student at LSU currently, however I have quite large gaps in my schedule! I am free between 12:00-1:30 for lunchtime potty breaks and am done by 3:30 most days! I give both my and my clients animals all of the love I can! I make sure to address expectations before hand to ensure I know what needs to be taken care of!

About: I’ve been walking and caring for animals since I was a young child, so I bring a lot of hands-on experience and confidence in handling pets of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to keep them safe, happy, and well-exercised. I’m currently working from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to pet care. I’ve developed strong time management and organizational skills that translate well into pet walking and training. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be available during key times of the day for walks, check-ins, and consistent training sessions. Since I’m already accustomed to planning my day around routines, I’m able to reliably incorporate pet care into my schedule while maintaining a high level of attention and consistency. This flexibility also means I can accommodate client needs more easily and provide dependable, attentive care for their pets. I provide a safe and trustworthy environment by prioritizing consistency, attentiveness, and clear communication. Because I work from home, pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to closely monitor their behavior, comfort, and safety at all times. My experience working with animals since childhood has taught me how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort early and respond appropriately. I also maintain a clean, organized space and follow any specific instructions from pet owners regarding routines, feeding, and training. Building trust is very important to me, so I make sure to communicate regularly with updates and ensure each pet is cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine attention.

About: We are a small family with a super friendly lab-hound mix named Charlie. Charlie loves to play with other dogs and is generous with his space and toys. Our six-year-old daughter loves meeting new animals, too. Our home is fenced all around so the dogs have a circle run as well as the backyard and front porch to play and relax. We travel and have used Rover for our dog and we’re happy to be on the other side hosting and caring for your pet. I have volunteer experience with multiple animal shelters and experience caring for both healthy pets and animals with special needs. The other side of our double shotgun is currently unoccupied so we have additional space to separate dogs if need be.

We are so fortunate to have been able to meet Natalie and have her watch our dog while out of town. From the very initial meet and greet, I knew this was going to be a great experience. She has kept in communication through the duration of her visits which is amazing for my peace of mind. She has made this such an easy transaction for North and myself. I will absolutely use her in the near future!
