“Danielle C was an outstanding pet and house sitter! I could not recommend her more. She communicated with me throughout her stay, sent amazing photos and clearly loved being with my dogs. I can’t wait to have her back :-)”
“Lydia was great! I needed someone very last minute and she was such a relief!! She sent several photos daily and gave me frequent updates which helped me feel at ease while she was house sitting my fur fam. I will definitely hire her again!”
“Ian is an absolute gift and a joy. He went above and beyond taking care of my cat Hero, who absolutely loves him and was comfortable chilling with him right away. I will 100% be working with Ian in the future, and if you do too your pet will be in wonderful, caring hands!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.
“Cheryl K was a wonderful sitter of my dog and my house. I will trust her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone in need. She is professional and attentive. She was respectful of my house, leaving it clean and neat and a dog clearly calm and happy. Thank you Cheryl. See you again”
About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.
“Olivia was amazing with taking care of Bug. She was responsive, punctual, and kept me updated throughout. I really appreciated how patient, attentive, and caring she was. I felt comfortable knowing Bug was in good hands. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Dani did a great job taking care of everything while I was gone. Definitely went above and beyond. I will be contacting her again for our next trip and hope she is available!”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Deana! She was so wonderful with our very, very quirky dachshund who was sick with pneumonia, and equally as wonderful with our very shy cat. She was also so incredibly responsive and reliable. She picked up meds at the vet, and made sure they both got everything they needed. She also had to deal with a water leak in our apartment and was on top of everything, and overall just very respectful of our space. She is the absolute best house sitter we have ever had, and she is truly amazing. Thank you Deana 🙏🙏🙏”
“Alyssa was perfect for Daisy. She brought her chiweenie Oliver with her and Daisy loved it. Alyssa was thorough and communicative the entire time we were gone. She is a natural pet sitter. We will definitely call upon her again for upcoming trips.”
“Alex was such a great help! She was super communicative and always gave me updates without having to ask. She even cleaned and emptied the trash before leaving even though she didn’t need to. I know Rufus was well taken care of and will definitely use her again :)”
“Karen went above and beyond while house sitting for our dog Bella. Bella was given loads of attention, the plants watered, house in order and great communication while we were away. Fantastic, I will definitely request Karen’s care again.❤️”
“Ryan is conscientious, attentive to deal, kind, dog-loving -- he's the whole package!He was a support and trusted advisor to me on our recent trip when our older dog was not doing well. I cannot recommend him any more highly.”
About: I am an avid animal lover who grew up with dogs & learned to love cats. I currently have one dog & 2 cats, and I have been pet sitting for about 4 years. I work part time with Jefferson SPCA and volunteer with Friends of Jefferson SPCA. I volunteered with a rescue group in Baton Rouge called CAAWS as a dog shift worker for 4 years while also volunteering as a photographer for Friends of the Animals and a foster for Cat Haven. I am very comfortable around all animals and have pet sat for dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. I am fine pet sitting extra large dogs but walking them is a little harder since I know they are stronger than me. Volunteering with the shelter has shown me the proper ways to approach dogs and cats and how to handle tense situations. I have no issues with any messes and I love watching puppies. I currently work full time but I love stopping to see pets on my way to or from work. I also have lots of weekend availability for visits. I make sure the pet is comfortable in their environment and do not force them to interact with me. I take the time to let any pet warm up to me. I love taking pups for walks and giving all pets lots of attention.
“Elizabeth stayed at our house to pet sit for our senior kitty. Elizabeth gave picture updates and was communicative the entire time while we were away. When we arrived, our kitty had clearly gotten tons of care and attention! The house was also kept clean and tidy just like when we left. Will definitely be using Elizabeth on future trips!”
“Wow!! I couldn’t be happier with Rover.com and especially with Emily. She went above and beyond with my guys. She met with their doggie friends, made sure they got Plenty of exercise and made it so my fur babies felt at ease. Emily was the perfect dog sitter and I would not hesitate to recommend her to all of my pet parent friends and we look forward to hiring her again for any future travels!!”
“Jared was such a perfect fit for what I needed. My dogs were carefully taken care of, and very well entertained by him. He kept me in the know of anything with the pups and was very attentive to one that needs a little extra for her anxiety. I would highly recommend Jared to anyone, I will for sure be a repeat!”

Hands down the absolute best pet sitter. Cheryl has taken care of my babies for the past 10 years whenever we go on vacation. My babies are always well taken care of and I never have to worry about anything when we are away. I don’t know what we would do without her.
This was the first time Karen babysat my children. She is very trustworthy and responsible. She followed all my lengthy instructions which included giving multiple medications. She let my two boxers sleep on top of her as they’re used to doing. Karen kept me updated with lots of pix. I didn’t have to worry about my house or my children while we were on vacation. We will certainly use her again. Thank you auntie Karen!
We don’t trust just anyone with our dogs or our home, but from the very first time we met Dani, we knew they were in the best hands. She was incredibly communicative right off the bat and took the time to ask about our preferences, even the little things that helped keep the dogs comfortable and on their normal routine. That level of care and attention made such a difference and immediately put us at ease. While we were away, Dani kept in regular contact, sending thoughtful updates and lots of pictures that made it clear our dogs were happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Coming home was such a relief! The house was spotless, everything was exactly as we left it, and our dogs were calm and content (which says everything). Dani is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, and it’s clear she treats pets like her own. We are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter.
Jennifer was the absolute best! She was very thorough when we first met. Jennifer gave me updates daily with pictures. She took such great care of our Ruby, 100% will ask her to stay and see watch Ruby again. If you want someone who is very reliable, thorough, caring and devoted to your pet, book with Jennifer!
Sadie was terrific with our dogs - especially our high-energy Flat-Coated Retriever. She did a great job watching them, including feeding and taking them for a walk - as well as giving them time to play in the back yard. She was very good with our retrievers - making sure that they followed their commands and behaved. She was also very flexible with our start and end times, which was very valuable to us. We highly recommend Sadie.
