“Lindsay is GREAT! Friendly, kind, punctual, communicative, and lets our very large, spunky dog give her alllll the face kisses! Most importantly, our dog loves her and took to her instantly upon meeting her – rare, as she can be a bit selective with new people. We are so, so happy to have found Lindsay and can’t wait to book her for more walks and likely house sittings in the future! 10/10 recommend :)”
“Amanda had walked our dog Greta a few times. She is very professional and I love her updates. Greta is always nice and worn out when I get home so know she enjoys them!”
About: I have always lived with dogs since I was a small child. The last 8 years I have been house/dog sitting for a retired couple with multiple dogs. This past May I lost my 16 year old rat terrier- broke my heart. Shortly after a relative asked me to keep his chocolate lab for a week and I loved it. I miss having a dog at the house! I work full time currently from home until COVID pandemic is over. My office is 10 minutes away from home- lunch visits to the house would be made on days needed. I own my own home with a fenced in yard next door to a empty lot. I have no children do it would be just me at the house.
“Michelle has always been prompt and thorough. She is knowledgeable and will go above and beyond to accommodate your and your pet’s needs. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Danielle was GREAT with Lola and the peace of mind knowing she was out and about and returned home safely --all confirmed with photos and messages--was awesome. We will be calling Danielle in the very near future!”
“Deana was wonderful with Oggi. Had her for a week to help out while I worked & he loved her. Professional, on time, followed all instructions & attentive noticing when he got tired or the heat was a bit much for him. If you want someone who will care for your fur baby I recommend her”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a kid, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with senior and younger pets. I cared for my own dog in her later years when she developed back leg problems. I helped her move around the house, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her lots of love and patience every day. I additionally took care of my other dog in her early months waking up multiple times nightly to calm her down. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m confident in handling all kinds of needs. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, so I’m able to care for pets whenever needed. Pet care easily fits my routine, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pets specific needs and schedule.your pets comfort and routine will always come first. I believe pets are most comfortable and relaxed in their own home, which is why I only offer care in the clients space. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect in return. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: Lifelong pet owner 🐾 and longtime pet care provider!! 3 years of professional Animal Shelter experience 🏠 and 10 years of volunteer Animal Shelter experience. ⭐️ Experience administering specialized care: bottle-feeding, injury, sick, and senior animals 💊 Also working with high-intelligence and high-energy breeds (border collies, cattle dogs… malinois 🐊). I respect owners structures for their animals, and am ready to learn and implement training regimens as needed 🫡 BUT I’m also happy to chill and study with your couch potato/snugglebug 🤗 💕 📝 I am a full time student with hybrid online and in-person classes inside the city 💻 I am mobile between classes 🚙 and can also take some classes from other locations with wifi. Beyond exercise, potty breaks, and meal time, I engage pets one-on-one with play and enrichment tailored to them - like treat puzzles for the independent thinker 🤔 and rough and tumble sports for the athletic socialite 🏈⚽️🏟️ I don’t attend dog parks or group play sessions unless that is requested. I DO NOT TAKE DOGS OFF-LEASH unless we are in a safe, enclosed space with no unfamiliar animals or people.
About: Hi! I’m Tay, equal parts responsible adult and dog hype person. I’m the type to send you update pictures like your dog just graduated college. Whether your pup is energetic, anxious, clingy, goofy, or convinced they own the house, I adjust to their vibe quickly. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love animals, but I also understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big deal. Your pet will get plenty of attention, care, walks, playtime, and probably a few compliments they don’t deserve. I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, from couch potato cuddle experts to dogs training for the Dog Olympics. I’ll follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests carefully. Bonus: your dog can vent to me about you while you’re gone, and I legally cannot tell you what they said. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! 🐾 I work from home, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, supervision, and company throughout the day. I’m available for daytime care, walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, medication schedules, and all the “throw the toy again immediately” requests your dog may have. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves nonstop attention or prefers a calm nap buddy nearby, I can accommodate their needs throughout the day. I live in a very nice open spaced 2 bedroom house with a fenced yard and hardwood floors. I have a yard with lots of room for animals to play and enjoy themselves.
About: Hi! My name is Lily, and I am an incoming college student with a very flexible schedule during the summer. I have previously owned two dogs and have always enjoyed being around animals. While I don’t currently own any pets, I am the oldest of five children and have years of experience caring for children ages 1–12, which has given me responsibility and attention to detail. I am active, dependable, and happy to follow detailed instructions to ensure your pet’s safety. I enjoy being outdoors and would love to spend time walking and caring for your pets. I am currently free for the summer and have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets. I am available most weekdays and can often accommodate weekends as well.

I understand the importance of keeping pets secure, providing fresh food and water, ensuring they get exercise and attention, and keeping owners updated while they are away. I am respectful of clients’ homes and committed to creating a safe environment for your pets.
About: I have been around animals all my life, and I have had pets for as long as I can remember. Whenever a family member fosters either a dog or cat I am the first one to help out. I have helped out with kittens and puppies as young as 3 days old! I am a college student that is majoring in biology. When I am home I have lots of free time and would love to help out with any pet needs. I go to Millsaps College in Jackson, MS and I am a little busier, but im still happy to help whenever I can! I am a biology major with a focus in animal studies. Because of that I am around all sorts of animals all the time for class. When I am home I am still around animals all the time, and I love helping take care of them. When I'm home from school I love helping my mom walk the dogs!
“I can’t recommend Cody enough. She is a pet charmer. My 2 dogs and cat warmed to her quickly, she is an excellent communicator, and has a gentle presence. My one dog was nervous and hid before the first walk. Cody spent 30 min gently coaxing her out. After the first walk, all 3 of my animals were comfortable and happy. She sat with them after every walk for extra minutes and shared great pics with me. I will always check her availability first in the future”
About: I have had two rowdy dogs for ten years now. My family adopted them as puppies and have adapted our house to give them an indoor-outdoor living area. One of my dogs is very anxious and afraid of men, she finds comfort in me most, and with time I have helped her combat this anxiety with gentle and repetitive exposure to her fears. We rescued a kitten five years ago and integrated him into our house with the dogs. I walk my dogs every day and use good leash manners. I also take care of my friends' dog and cats when they're away on vacation, giving me experience with pets of varying personalities. I am currently at home for summer break. I have free time most days to take care of people's pets besides 2.5 weeks of a summer camp job and a short vacation. I respond and communicate my availability quickly and clearly to ensure that pet owners get the help that they need. I will follow the instructions provided to me that I agree to. On top of this, I will ensure that I stick to the pets' training and will do my best to prevent accidents caused by the pet.
Jefferson dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jennifer dodges rainstorms, braves the humidity and adapts to life’s surprises without blinking an eye. The level of service provided along with a joyous demeanor is compelling. She is a staple in our routine that we hope continues for the foreseeable future. Thank you!
Mallory was great and most importantly, my dog thought so too! We were visiting New Orleans from out of town and a bit leary about leaving our boxer in a strange place with strange people. Mallory responded quickly to my somewhat last minute request for a 3 day dog walking booking during jazz fest. She even came for a pre-visit meet and greet. She sent us photos and updates of her visits, and offered flexibility on her times. This is my first time using Rover and Mallory made it an amazing experience. I would absolutely call her again and again and again! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 5/5 PAW Rating!
I had a great experience Sara. She was punctual and communicated really well, so I always knew what was going on. Also, she took amazing photos like seriously, the pictures were so good I couldn’t believe it. My dog absolutely loved her and now she’s basically my dog’s new best friend. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, friendly, and genuinely good with dogs.
Margarida is so wonderful! She is always willing to go the extra step to help us with caring for Bennie. As a busy mom with three kids and changing schedules, I am so grateful for Margarida’s flexibility and grace when we need to change plans. Bennie loves her and she is a huge help for our family!
Julia was wonderful when caring for our dog Freya! Our girl is very shy and nervous around strangers and Julia helped her to feel more comfortable and less anxious. I appreciated the updates of how Freya was doing as well as the adorable pictures she sent! I will definitely recommend Julia to our friends and family and anyone in need of a reliable and professional pet sitter.
