About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! I have helped friends and families take care of their fur babies for about 9 years now, from feeding, to walking, and even snuggling, I’ve always been there when they needed! I’m currently a stay at home mom to a 9 month old, so my schedule is pretty open! I love a good chance to love on people’s fur babies though! I have a fenced in yard and cozy home for fur babies! I’m home pretty much all day. Willing to accommodate to your fur babies needs and what they are used to!

About: I have been in the anima care field for more than 10 years. I have personal experience in boarding, medical, and training as I have worked in a professional boarding facility that specialized in enrichment programs. I also have worked in vet clinics as an assistant for 7 years. I own a training business that specializes in obedience, puppy manners, and gun-dog training using force free and positive reinforcement methods. I make sure to offer structure and enrichment during your pups stay. I’m currently self employed and work from home. I make sure to follow the schedule of the owners as close as possible and make sure to offer daily structure and enrichment during the pets stay. I personally keep your pet in their own personal space to help them feel safe and comfortable. During potty times if they are comfortable they can interact with my personal dogs individually or altogether depending on their needs. While staying in my home they are kept on leash for any outside time to keep them safe as I don’t have a fenced in yard. Depending on the needs within a clients own home I will meet the current schedule and structure within the home.
“This was our first time to use the Rover app. Katie made the experience of making final plans effortlessly. Our pet made himself at home immediately, upon arrival at her house.. We also received photos while we were out of town. Katie was very accommodating to our change in pickup plans. We will definitely schedule with Katie when future boarding services are needed.”

About: I have about 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I follow care instructions closely, prioritize safety and routine, and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Hi! I’m Marissa, a responsible and caring animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in following care instructions closely. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My fiancé and I have an almost 2-year-old Aussie, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, playtime, and providing a safe, loving environment for pets in our home. I work part-time and attend school at LSUE a few hours two days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule for morning, afternoon, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in both my home and my client’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets in a clean and secure environment, and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly secured. I respect routines and communicate immediately if anything seems off. I treat every pet and home as if they were my own.
About: I am a lifelong animal lover and owner of cats, dogs, gerbils, fish, snakes, & hamsters. Current owner of 1-dog, 1-cat & 1-3rd grader... Bring it on!! Currently, I am sitting/boarding as needed; However, I am seriously considering a full-time scenario, due to the increasing need I've noticed. Much like your beloved pets, I am trustworthy, loyal and dependable. Tell me how I can help! Doggos will be provided a bed on the floor, or they are more than welcome on the furniture! Feel free to bring your own food/water dishes -or they can use the pet water fountain & I can provide a bowl for food. We use Purina Cat Chow- Indoor and Purina One- True Instinct, so bring your own if you have another preference! . I have extra leashes, blankets & toys; However, potty pads, meds & other specific items will need to be provided. My cat runs the house, I just pay the mortgage. Litter boxes are routinely cleaned, using Purina Tidy Cats- Glade. I usually only have one out, but have a second depending on how many fur babies I have that day. The cat [palm] tree is out for leisurely play & there are toys/scratching posts throughout the house. Pets are fed twice a day, with treats in-between of course, and baths are available for the pups upon request. Always open to accommodations!

About: Dogs are the most awesome pets to have. I love spending every free moment I have with mine Toby and Lance. They bring me happiness whenever I see them. They put me in check with what is important. I would have 20 of these little guys of my own if that would be possible. So instead I decided to become a pet-sitter and enjoy other people's pets. This also gives my dogs play time and social interaction with others. The greatest and most memorable times are the times spent with dogs. These guys deserve the best care and happiness we can provide them. So now Rover.com has provided me the opportunity to share my love for animals. You will not have any worries or doubts your will be in great hands of a responsible and attention to detail pet sitter.. Thanks for checking out my profile. I hope you book me soon for your pets! Mike J.
