“Chantilly was the perfect sitter for our fur baby Koa. She kept me updated with photos and made our vacation more enjoyable knowing that Koa was being well taken care of. We will definitely use Chantilly again.”
“Another great overnight weekend stay for my Fudd with Daniel. He sent me videos and pictures everyday of Fudd having a blast with the other dogs that were staying this weekend. I am always so pleased to have used Daniel as a sitter and Fudd will be back to stay again soon!”
“Deisha did such a good job with our two pups! She has a great backyard and made pick up and drop off a breeze. We especially enjoyed meeting her ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit! We will be trusting her with our girls again soon!”
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 stand out as a sitter because I truly care for each dog like they’re part of my own family, whether I’m helping a puppy learn good habits, giving a senior pup extra patience and comfort, or supporting anxious or shy dogs with a calm, gentle approach. I love keeping owners connected with plenty of photo updates, and I always focus on making every visit safe, happy, and tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I have my own animals that i take care of everyday and then that leaves plenty of time to play and enjoy your animals. I am currently in school online to become a Veternarian so I adore and love animals. When I care for pets in my clients’ homes, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow your feeding schedule, walk times, and any special instructions closely, and I make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and reassurance while you’re away. I keep the home tidy, respect your space, and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make your pet feel safe and loved in the place they know best.
“Jami was amazing with our new dog, Lucy! Her dog Buck played well with Lucy and they were best friends by the end of her visit. Jami was incredibly communicative with Lucy’s adjustment to being at the sitters and sent plenty of photos. 10/10 would hire again. Book her! You won’t regret it.”
“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.”
“Bridget treated my pup so well and eased this mama’s heart. My dog had a recently gotten neutered and she cared for him while I was at work. Upon meeting she took the time to address any needs or concerns about my pup’s care. I would book her again any day!”
“Jada was great! She took my dog for daily walks, played with him. And also watched my cat at the same time. She sent plenty of pictures and updates while I was out of town. Don’t hesitate to leave your pets in her care!”
“Dana did an amazing job with my 3 dogs. I was very nervous about leaving them with anyone, but she sent me updates and photos. When I came back home early she let me pick them up right away. I would recommend her to anyone”
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!
“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!”

I respect routines and communicate immediately if anything seems off. I treat every pet and home as if they were my own.
“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.”
“Jessica was so sweet to our Sadie girl. She sent pictures while we were away, which made us feel so confident that our girl was being taken care of. We will definitely use her again.”

Lake Charles dog parents share their Rover experiences
As Tina would say - she is simply the best!!! She booked us in a last minute immediate need. She made us feel so comfortable when we arrived in leaving our yorkie. She even sent us updates so we knew he was okay. This was out first time ever leaving him in the care of someone else. She even gained his trust on his pace and he was sitting in her lap by the end of it. And he was out playing with the other dogs. Which is huge, because he is a solo dog and we are his pack. We have always wanted him to not see every animal as a threat. I can just go.on and on. She is amazing and will forever be the home our little one goes too when we are visiting lake charles. Probably even nearby cities, she is worth the drive. We thank you so much Jenet for all your kindness and care, as I stated earlier your the Best!!!
