“Danny took such good care of my dog. It was our first time booking with Danny which is scary as a dog mom. I was quickly realized that Danny’s calm presence was perfect for both my pup and my nerves. He walked her twice daily, fed her, and most importantly loved on her. We love Danny”

“Katie was amazing from start to finish! Professional, super clean, and our dogs were relaxed and at ease when we got back from our trip. We got oodles of pictures and even more peace of mind with Katie, she’s the best!”

“Tenay was fantastic! She was available last minute and saved me from having to cancel my trip. The dogs were comfortable with her and she left my house in great shape. Thank you!”

“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!”

“Sierra did a great job. She did leave the cat poop in a grocery bag for a few days so when we came in the house didnt smell great. Otherwise she kept me in the loop every day, took pictures & sent & kept the house clean. I will most definitely use her again.”

“Nick watched our 2 dogs and gecko for a few days and we had a great experience! He was so professional and very responsive while we were gone. The house and all the animals were very well taken care of and we would highly recommend Nick to anyone!”

About: Senior care, puppy care. I can do both! Bonus, if your dog likes to run, so do I! Medications no problem, clipping nails, no problem. I work full time, so I’m available evenings, nights, and weekends. I can house sit certain nights, can do drop ins any day of the week. I have worked with a variety of species. I have no issues with reptiles, rodents, amphibians, cats, and dogs etc. I am passionate about animal care.
About: I have over a year of experience in animal daycare and/or kennel settings, and can quickly assess a pet's body language and accomodate for discomfort or unique needs. I have a part time job Monday through Wednesday, but I can make myself available with enough planning ahead, and usually have afternoons and evenings free. I need at least two day's notice for weekends. I follow client's intructions to the letter when caring for pets at their home. When needed (e.g. for brachycephalic dogs) I will ask for a safe harness or collar option to avoid restricted breathing.
“Mikayla stayed with our 2 dogs and 2 cats for a long weekend. She came over twice before the wkend to learn about the house and pets. Communication was easy and fast before and during the stay. The most challenging job at our house is bringing the cats in at night which she conquered. She asked good questions and did a good job. We will definitely hire Mikayla again!”

“We could not have been happier with our experience with Samantha! Since we were going away for a long trip out of the country we were a little nervous, of course, but those nerves disappeared right away because of the communication and updates we received. I’m pretty sure our pets were spoiled rotten! Our dog even missed Samantha, and keeps going to “her room” to nap. Thank you so much.”

“Lauren was so awesome and friendly, and my dog loved her visits! She gave us lots of updates while she and Rouge played and walked. She was also super flexible about what I needed and times. I will 100% use and recommend her again!”

About: I’ve had a dog in the house since I was 5 years old. I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years as a boarder before I permanently moved to Baton Rouge. I go to LSU and major in animal science. I have medicated and taken care of anxious/aggressive dogs. I am patient, gentle, and I take account that each pet is a family member to each owner. I am currently enrolled at LSU majoring in Animal science. I have wanted to foster or get a pet of my own since moving here but I have not been able to, so I decided to make my side hustle helping others with the things I love to do. I am available on weekdays and most weekends. Just message me ahead of time for weekends! I am easygoing and easy to communicate with. I have a fenced little yard and I enjoy walking around my gated neighborhood, so I will do so with your pet. I follow instructions well, I am aware each pet is different and have their own personality. I’m slow and a quick learner, since I have handled hundreds different dogs for a handful of years. If I am ever confused on an instruction my first instinct is to contact you to make sure and not just “assume”.
“Great sitter! Fast communication and replies! Took amazing care of my fur babies, sending me photos every day and updating me on their status. 100% will (and already have) book her again!”

About: I’ve taken care of small and large animals my whole life. I enjoy helping animals get their exercise and going on walks. I’m able to care for both small and large dogs as well as cats. I have a very flexible schedule around my summer and school schedule as I am available during the day and nights to check on and care for your animals. I have all the accommodations for a your animals, a large backyard and big enough car to travel in as well. And access to dog parks as well.
“Molly is fantastic! She took amazing care of my dog, Jameson, while I was away. During the stay, I received regular updates and photos. I returned home to a clean house and a happy pup. I can’t recommend Molly highly enough!”

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to hamsters, guinea pigs, and even reptiles like turtles and lizards, I offer compassionate and reliable pet-sitting services. As a pet parent to my own two cats and two dogs, alongside my caring boyfriend, I understand the importance of providing a loving and safe environment for your beloved companions. Having provided pet-sitting for my family for many years, I am eager to extend my care to your furry, scaly, or feathered friends! As a part-time restaurant manager and nursing student, I offer flexible pet care services to fit your needs. Working for my mother provides me with unique scheduling flexibility, allowing me to accommodate your pet's care with sufficient notice. I reside in a spacious two-bedroom apartment in Baton Rouge with my boyfriend, providing ample space for pet care. While I'm unable to host other pets in my home due to my dog's reactivity, I do have experience with aggressive dogs. My young German Shepherd is incredibly friendly and would enjoy playdates with similar-sized pups! My pets follow a strict daily schedule, maintained with my boyfriend's help. As an owner of larger breeds (Pitbull and German Shepherd), I'm comfortable handling bigger dogs, even in apartment settings, thanks to daily walks down three flights of stairs. I'm also experienced in administering medications and catering to pets with special needs, ensuring your pet receives the personalized care they require.

Gardere pet parents share their Rover experiences
Our boys come with some quirks, and within moments, we were getting photo updates of them cuddling on to her lap, or asleep on a comfy pillow, making the whole experience feel comfortable and safe. She’s got a way with animals, and we highly recommended her.

Sarah was absolutely wonderful! She was so sweet and easy to communicate with, keeping me updated throughout her stay. It was such a comfort, knowing she’s a vet student, especially because Athena has epilepsy. I felt completely at ease, leaving Athena in her care. I highly recommend her and will definitely be booking with her again.

Collin was amazing and gave us such peace of mind when he was house sitting for us and watching our three cats. He went above and beyond our expectations and made sure to provide excellent care for our kitties. Would definitely book him again and recommend him to anyone wanting trustworthy and thorough cat care.
