About: Hello, I’m Nick, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve raised my own dogs and have experience fostering, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I work from home, which means your dog will get lots of attention throughout the day—regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. They won’t be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. My home is in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with a yard for safe playtime. I’ve set everything up to be dog-friendly so you can feel confident your pet is in a safe and relaxed environment. I treat every dog like they’re my own and want you to feel completely at ease while they’re in my care. I work from home which means your pet will never be alone more than 1-2 hours, will be provided frequent potty breaks, and endless amounts of love. I live in a private neighborhood that is very animal friendly, along with a yard for your pet to run and play in. I have ensured my entire home is pet friendly and safe for your pet.

About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life — from energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with everything from daily walks to overnight stays and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats with different personalities, including shy or high-energy ones. I’ve handled feedings, medications, litter box deep-cleaning, crate training, and even post-surgery care. I also have experience with senior pets and understand how to keep them comfortable and on routine. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — not just a job, but something I genuinely enjoy. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, making sure they get consistent attention, love, and structure throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I’m flexible and committed to keeping your pet happy and on routine. I love being active, so walks, feedings, and check-ins blend easily into my day. And if I’m doing overnight care or drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets my full attention and a calm, comforting environment. I also take time to send updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level — whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home. In My Home: I create a safe, cozy, and pet-friendly space where your pet can feel relaxed and loved. I keep feeding schedules consistent, provide daily walks or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I separate pets if needed for safety and give them space to adjust at their own pace. I treat every pet like family while making sure they stay on a routine that feels familiar. In Clients’ Homes: I respect your home and your pet’s routine. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I stick to your feeding, potty, and playtime schedule. I’ll water plants, bring in mail, and make sure everything is clean and tidy before I leave. I also send frequent photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

“Lauren has a nice house and good sized back yard to accommodate her Rover dogs. This is our first time using Lauren. She and her daughter made Meryl feel comfortable and showered her with attention and affection. Lauren had great communication with us. We had a meeting to introduce Meryl to them day before our dog sitting appointment that went very well. We want to use Lauren again soon for boarding. I highly recommend her for your dog.”

“My experience with Robin was exceptional. I have used another sitter through Rover before and the experience was okay, but I noticed my puppy would come home very riled up and needing to immediately decompress. It often felt like I had to calm him down and get him back to his normal baseline. With Robin, the experience was completely different. When I picked him up, he was calm, relaxed, and acting exactly like he does at home. Even during the ride back, he settled into his crate and rested. That told me he was comfortable and well cared for during his stay. I was also a little nervous about having him around other dogs since he hasn’t spent a lot of time with other puppies. Robin was incredibly patient and reassuring. She allowed me to observe and helped me feel confident that he would be just fine, and he truly was. Another thing that stood out was how much my puppy liked her right away. As soon as he got out of the car, he was excited and curious about going inside, which meant a lot to me. I’m so glad I found Robin and truly look forward to working with her again. It’s clear my puppy felt safe and comfortable in her care.”

About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I have 3 fur babies who are spoiled and well-loved, Mylo the Siberian Husky (2 years old), Lily the sweet mix breed rescue (6 years old), and Baxter the Dachshund Beagle rescue (7 years old) and 1 fur nephew, Rufus the Corgi (3 years old) who frequently stays with his cousins and auntie to play. We love the dog park, long walks (Mylo especially), and couch snuggles/naps. They enjoy chasing each other in the backyard and to birdwatch/neighborhood watch from the living room windows. I have experience with many breeds and all ages. Having two rescues myself I am also comfortable with rescue dogs who may need more time to warm up and trust you. I also love cats and have always had one-I just don’t currently have one. Fur babies aren’t just pets-they are family. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I am available for walks, drop ins, and boarding any day of the week or weekend. I can come to you! I have a fenced yard and 3 fur babies who are dog friendly and love to play! I am happy to use crates if that is preferred. While I don’t mind your dog staying here with us, I am also able to come to your dog in your home if that is more comfortable.

“Jason was great with Bowie! So glad we were able to find him in a pinch. Jason kept in great communication with us, and it was clear Bowie really enjoyed his stay.”

About: I am a mom to two dogs: Foxy, a 2 year old lab mix, and Rosa, a 10 month old golden retriever. I raised both of my babies from when they were puppies prior to getting my girls, I had a dog for 13 1/2 years who died of cancer in April. So I also have experience caring for senior and sick dogs. I just started my own company working from home and decided that it would be a good idea to join Rover for some extra income, to be able to help others out, and to provide friends for my 2 pups. I bring my dogs to the dog park several times a week, and I am a member of the Burbank dog park Facebook group so I can provide lots of references. Taking care of and watched other peoples dogs before in my home and treat them like family. I work from home and create my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups and take care of them. I can bring them to the dog park if you want I will take them for walks if that’s what they’re used to. I am available all day every day that includes weekends and holidays I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs to keep your dog company. I also can crate your dog easily if needed. I own a dog crate so I can provide one if your dog needs to be crated or you can send one with your dog. I also have no problem giving your pup a puppy bath before their sent back home to you.

About: I have raised kittens and puppies all my life. I have two fur babies of my own who are very good with other cats and dogs. I love dogs and cats and treat them just how you would! My house is comfortable with a nice grassy yard in a quiet neighborhood great for going on walks and near a dog park. As I am a teacher, I am currently on summer break so I am available all the time to care for and play with your pets! I have a fenced in yard with a friendly Bassett Hound and a snuggly cat to keep your pet company. I also can crate your pet easily if needed. I have a litter box as well and plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable.

About: Hi! I can’t wait to be introduced to your furry friends. After many years of looking after my family and friends’ pets, I’m well prepared for various types of pet personalities. I began pet sitting on Rover in 2021, but took a break after moving and life events. I’m thrilled to get started again! I have two pets of my own: a cat named Kitty and a mini dachshund named Benji. I take pride in my love for animals and I’m excited to begin working with you to provide your furry friends a safe and loving human to look after them😊 I’m currently working remotely as an Actuarial Analyst. I can provide thorough care throughout the day at my home, or visit/drop-in to your home before work, after work, or on my lunch break. I also would be able to work from your home if that works best for you! :) I’m able to adapt to any routine requested. At my home, I have a fenced in yard that my dog, Benji, loves to sunbathe in throughout the day! I do have a friendly cat, but he’s very shy and will stay in one of his numerous hiding spots or his gated, out-of-reach area when strangers come over. At your home, I will be very respectful of your area and remain focused on your furry friends’ needs.

“JC was great! Very organized and communicative. We loved getting all the updates throughout the day and had no doubt that our pet was being well cared for. Will definitely book again if we come to Baton Rouge again!”

About: We live in a 2nd-floor apartment that has 12 stairs leading up to it. I have had dogs in the home since the age of 2 and been a primary caregiver for my last 3 family dogs. My partner and I both love all dogs, especially larger breeds. We are experienced in basic leash and command training, basic medication administration, and house training. We firmly believe you can never have too many dogs around and would love to host your furry family member while you are away! We have a cat named Mitties who keeps to herself and tolerates her brother Lincoln as well as his friends who visit. Lincoln has never met another pup he didn't like. He loves to play and wrestle but also knows when it's time to give his friends space. He has regular interaction with dogs of all sizes and adjusts his play style accordingly. We are available for most weekends, and most weekdays from a week-to-week basis. Isaac works from home and is almost always around during the day to supervise! Dogs can be crated if needed over night or while we are away. Our dog Lincoln does not use a crate, however, so it is not necessary if your dog doesn’t usually use one either.

About: I pride myself in doing everything to the best of my abilities and taking care of your babies will be no different! I have over a decade of experience, you can be at ease knowing your animals will be safe and loved while you’re away. I worked at Armstrong Veterinary Clinic for 4 years, interacting with animals and clients daily. I know how to administer medicine if needed. I am 100% free during the week, your babies would get lots of snuggles and play time. I am very friendly, flexible and reliable. I think we’d be the purrrfect match 😆🐱 I am currently focusing on providing pet care full time, my schedule is open Monday-Sunday. I live, breathe, and dream about the perfect pet sitting experience for my clients. I take care of my fur babies the same way a person would their normal babies. Every morning we go for a walk and eat some breakfast before I head in. A weekly dog trip is always in the works for my two energetic fur balls

“I want to thank u so much jackpot has def learned good manners at your house he listens he is calmer just all around better behaved dog ! You're a blessing in so many ways ! 🐾💕”

About: I've had dog(s) my entire life and have two perfect angels of my own now. I love playing, snuggling and spoiling all doggos. My sister is an experienced Vet Tech, and she's on call at all times in case anything were to go wrong. She also lives around the corner if a visit is needed. My yard is fenced in with a doggie door for true puppy freedom, and I'm within walking distance to the dog park. Growing up around tons of pets and veterinarians, I'm experienced in tendencies and temperaments of dogs and good about picking up on how they're feeling/reacting. From toys to treats to tummy rubs, I'll make your dog feel right at home! I can be as strict or as lenient on diet/exercise as you need. Your pup won't miss a beat!

About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old, and I also have a dog of my own (Millie:)) and my Shih Tzu baby Rico I’ve helped cared for back home. I give the same care , love , patience and attentiveness to every dog ! As I know it is important for your dog to feel safe and secure away from your home 💕 Since I do have a dog of my own , the necessities are apart of my everyday routine! I am in college full time however I am free everyday after 1pm . (Tuesdays , Thursdays and the weekend I am free all day:)) I am also very flexible so please don’t hesitate to ask questions ! Please note that I can not host more than one dog at a time due to me being a smaller space. Your fur baby will feel very comfy here ! My girl Millie has adapted to our relaxed routine which involves her feeding and bathroom schedule along play time and cuddles . We take trips to the public dog park as well as my apartment one. We also have plenty of play time inside . The same goes for your baby!

“Pearl had a great day with Regan! Will book again!”
