9. Maya T.
“Maya is a dog person! She's caring, and uses her experience as both a professional in the field of animals, and as a dog owner for most of her life, to care for your dogs, too! I think she actually 'speaks' dog! ;) I would absolutely trust her - I'd stand in line and WAIT for her - to be the caretaker of my family's pets while we're away! Maya's amazing!”
10. Kenzie S.
“Kenzie was absolutely wonderful. She has a huge heart for animals and it is very apparent in her abilities to care for other pets. Our pets were treated just like one of her own. I have a 6 month old Golden Retriever and a 14 year old Maltese mix, they each have very different needs and Kenzie was able to attend to each one and care for them just like I would. They both had a great time and I'm not even sure they wanted to come home! I would trust Kenzie with my animals anytime. She is number one for us and will not use anyone else.”

About: I am active and love to be active with a canine. I moved back to Louisiana from Hawaii in 2021. I have been an active Rover sitter in Honolulu since 2018. I love dogs and enjoy when they visit my home. My sweet Bear passed away last year so opening my home to care for other fur babies is extra special. I would really like to share the love I have to give with your dog/s. Also, I know dogs miss their owners and get lonely when their loved ones are away. I enjoy being able to keep your dog/s company and make sure they have all of their needs met; love, attention, treats, activities, etc. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals (wild and domestic). I have owned dogs, cats, cows, horses, rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, pigs, guinea pigs, hamsters, skunk, fish, turtles, sugar gliders, and prairie dogs. I have a college degree in biology and I worked as a veterinary tech while attending college. I work and babysit part-time so my schedule is flexible. I am home to cuddle and spend time in the yard as needed. We love to play outside. I will be outside when the dogs are out. I love to spend time outdoors in my yard unless it is extremely hot or raining. I also love to take fur babies on outings to parks and wildlife areas.
12. Lindsey F.
“Lindsey has babysat my dog multiple times. She’s probably treated better with her than at my own home! I definitely trust her with my pup above anyone else.”
13. Celeste R.
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little. I personally own a horse and a dog. And love them both dearly while always wanting to be around animals! I am a full time nursing student at McNeese State University with much flexibility in my schedule to help your pet and make things easy on you! My pet’s personally get my undivided attention whether it’s checking on them three times a day to 5 times a day. Making sure they are happy and well cared for! And that goes for anyone’s pet!
14. Briana G.
“It was obvious Briana cared about our dogs and was very attentive to their behavior with us out of town. The dogs were excited to see her and play with her so I know they had fun!”
15. Christopher L.
“Chris is excellent with pets. I planned a last min vacation and and needed someone in short notice. Chris to the rescue. He made his self available quickly. I have 2 dogs a Schnauzer and a chihuahua. The Chihuahua not so friendly lol. She was actually the first one to greet him at the door and seemed very comfortable with him which made me feel relieved because I was worried about her being a problem. Both dogs took to him quickly. I peeked in on him through the security cameras a couple times you could tell he was actually enjoying the dogs. He's a natural and I highly recommend him my dogs do as well you can always trust the dogs . 👍”
16. Ray C.
“Ray is the only person we trust with our 4 dogs and cat. He arrived on time each trip and made sure our animals were happy and taken care of. He even came over ahead of our trip to meet them so they would be used to him and not think he is stranger. One of dogs had an accident, he even cleaned that up. Would def be using again and highly recommend.”
17. Breayah E.
About: I take care of my dogs very well, they exercise very regularly, get plenty of love and attention, and I know when something is wrong and how to handle it. I got my Yorkie when I was 10 and he’s still here, perfectly healthy. I know how to train puppies, take care of adult dogs, and accommodate and care for senior dogs. I have worked at an animal hospital, and I am training to be a dog trainer. I work part time and am in college, so being able to take care of dogs is perfect for me! My youngest dog loves to play and would love to meet anyone knew, and since I am a trainer in training, I could teach some new tricks if wanted. I have a neutered male dog that loves to play! He comes with me every where I go, he is very spoiled! Whenever we are home, we play and spend plenty of time together. My youngest dog loves to play even more, she actually annoys my big boy all the time.
18. Annabelle G.
“Annabelle has been my neighbor for 19 years! Her family has always had dogs. Presently they have 4. This young lady LOVES dogs. And oh my goodness....she is so good with them. They are so well behaved for her it is almost like magic. She has taken great care of my 2 dogs whenever we are out of town. And most importantly, Annabelle is completely reliable. No worries when Annabelle is in care of your dog.”
