Chantilly is the best. My first time with her I was very nervous about leaving my Maltese who lives as an only “child” and not used to being around other dogs. But Chantilly’s love of all animals creates a gentle spirit in her home and I now feel completely at ease. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

Kelly is absolutely amazing! This was my first time to ever try leaving my furbaby with someone other than family and I was very nervous. She allowed me to come meet her before even committing. Her own dog is super gentle and laid back, so my little 5lb dog was completely at ease. Kelly texted me multiple times a day to let me know my pup was ok and told me stories of what he was up to. I couldn't have asked for better experience or better care. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. I travel a lot and having someone you are comfortable with and trust is so critical. Thank you Kelly!

Debbie watched over our pup for the weekend and we can tell she had a great time! She was well taken care of, loved, and played with. Debbie's dogs got along well with our puppy and she sent many pictures, letting us know that things are going well. 10/10 recommend.

This was our first time leaving our pup and everything was so smooth. We received videos throughout the stay and it was clear that our pup was being well taken care of. Our pup had an amazing time and came home tired after her overnight stay. Highly recommend Mary!

Luka dog had fun with Daniel and his dog Axle. He played ball when it wasn't raining and we could tell he liked the big back yard. Daniel has a great set up for dog sitting. Will recommend and hope to be able to use him again. We felt very confident about Luke being there after we received multiple pictures throughout his stay, we knew he was safe and happy.

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.

So grateful for Jami! She agreed to help me with my big senior a little last minute. I immediately felt comfortable with her which gave me peace of mind knowing that my boy was in comforting hands. During his stay, and my trip which was abroad and ahead by 7 hours, Jami was attentive and sent me updates thru whats app. I asked her to use the app to communicate as I did not have cell service in the country I was visiting and she didn’t hesitate to accommodate. She sent pictures and updates when I asked which kept me from worrying about him. She even celebrated his birthday which fell while I was gone ☺️ Thanks a ton Jami!

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: 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!

Callie was amazing with my little dog Emma. I was so worried about leaving her with anyone. She sent me pictures and always responded when I checked in to see how Emma was doing. Emma was happy to see me but not out of control happy like she usually is which tells me she didn’t miss me too much and was in good hands lol ?
