“Taylor was so sweet and wonderful! Went and spent time with my sweet kitty and sent plenty of pictures! Would suggest her to anyone. She was very informative beforehand too.”
“Karsyn kept in good contact in the days leading up to the scheduled meet and greet. She asked great questions and caught on very quickly to the commands we use and routines we follow. She showed confidence and kindness in her interactions with our Stella in her first solo drop in visit. We have and will book again with Karsyn.”
“This was the first time to use in-home visits to care for and feed our diabetic cat - Binx. It was a great experience and we’ll definitely use Amanda again! The notifications, photos and comments assured us that Binx was being taken care of. Binx gives her 5 stars, too! Thanks, Amanda!”
“Ross made drop-in visits for our kitties (2) while we were on vacation. Ross was very responsive to all communication from the beginning of this process, through our return. He sent photos of our kitties each day when he visited. We will likely hire Ross again to care for our cats when we leave town.”
“debra was such a miracle. i needed a last minute sitter for my kitty and she made herself available. great communication. definitely would recommend her to anyone!”
About: Senior care, puppy care. I can do both! Bonus, if your dog likes to run, so do I! Medications no problem, clipping nails, no problem. I work full time, so I’m available evenings, nights, and weekends. I can house sit certain nights, can do drop ins any day of the week. I have worked with a variety of species. I have no issues with reptiles, rodents, amphibians, cats, and dogs etc. I am passionate about animal care.
“Michelle did an amazing job with our cat and made sure he had everything he needed for the weekend. We appreciated that she took a bunch of photos and kept us informed on how he was doing.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. Whenever family members or friends needed anyone to watch their dog I was the first person they’d call. I treat animals like people because they have feelings too. I’m currently looking for a new job so I'm free to do walks in the morning. I’m usually free in the evenings if ever needed to watch your pets at night. Whenever watching other people’s pet I usually ask how they want me to take care of them. Usually I try to keep my dog and the clients separated in the beginning.I’ll spend time with them equally then slowly work up to see how they do together. I usually walk Atticus around the neighborhood at the end of the day. I’ll walk him in the mornings and afternoon with him in the backyard.
“Courtney has been a huge help to us! We were especially worried as we have a blue heeler with reactivity and a catahoula with anxiety, but she has been the perfect playmate for our dogs! Highly recommend Courtney as she has been super clear in her communication with us and we feel safe having her in our home :)”
About: I treat every dog like my own with lots of love, patience, and attention to detail. Whether it's playtime, slow strolls, or sticking to a strict routine, I’m here to keep your pup happy, safe, and stress-free while you’re away. Experienced with all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Available for house sitting, walks, and drop-ins! I work full-time as a lab manager at LSU, typically Monday–Friday from 9am to 4pm, but my schedule is flexible and allows me to accommodate most pet care needs during the week. I’m also available most weekends! I currently only offer care in my clients’ homes, which allows pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow their usual routine as closely as possible. Whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, or cuddle time! I always make sure pets feel safe, calm, and cared for, and I keep owners updated with messages and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing.
About: I have had and been around dogs my whole life. Friends and family have relied on me many times to watch and care for the dogs. I will give your pet constant love and support throughout our time together. Dogs are my absolute favorite! I currently work multiple part time jobs that I set my own schedules for so I am usually available at anytime of the day with a little advance notice. Evenings and nights are almost always free. Safety and trust is so important to me and that is my top priority when caring for your pet/home. After that, my goal is to be the best friend your pet has! I will give them plenty of attention and play with them as much or little as they like. Happy dogs make me happy!
“Emily is so reliable and go above to make sure all our animals are taken care of and loved while we are a way! Great communication and always send daily pictures. Very highly recommended!”
“Shannon went above and beyond to care for our three cats while we were out of town for 2 long weeks. She made sure their litter boxes were clean and tidy, made sure they had food and water and loved on them. We were able to enjoy or trip knowing she was taking care of our kitties while we were away. Would 💯 recommend and hope to book with her again in the future.”
About: Hello, my name is Ashley. I'm from Ohio and have been in Baton Rouge for the past 9 years. I've had dogs and other pets ever since I was born and have yet to meet a dog that I don't like. Recently, we bought our own home with a large yard. Its completely fenced in and in a nice neighborhood. My mini labradoodle, Peppa, loves its and goes out nearly every hour even if it's just to play. I am a stay at home mom of 5 children. They all love animals and have been taught how to behave around them. I require that any fur baby that I take in, have been around and did ok with a "human baby". Your pet will not be alone with my children, as a precaution, but its still important. I guarantee that I will treat any fur baby in my care as if it were my own. My job is to keep them as safe, comfortable, and happy as I possibly can. I am a fetch and belly rub professional. Looking forward to caring for your furry family member!
“We are so happy to have found Carmelite for our family! We were hesitant at first due to specific needs for our family but everything was taken care to a T. Carmelite was more then happy to answer any and all questions, concerns throughout the day. Definitely a positive experience at the end of the day, we look forward to any future openings with Carmelite again as our sitter.”

Simone A.
“I had to go out of town unexpectedly and needed someone to care for my geriatric pug. I was extremely nervous. I ended up hiring Simone to take care of my baby. When I met her, I knew I had made the right choice. She was kind, caring and obviously good with animals. She took care of all of my pugs medications, prescription diet, and other special needs. She was punctual and went above and beyond to make me feel secure that she was following our schedule and that my girl was ok while I was gone. I would recommend her to anyone looking for top notch care of their pets. Take it from an overly anxious pug mom, there isn't anyone else I would recommend as highly as Simone!”

Old Jefferson cat parents share their Rover experiences
Michelle was amazing! I did not worry about our pets for one second while we were away because I knew they were in good hands. She was very professional, provided updates, and cute pics of our pets. She was also very understanding of a last minute change and an user error on my end. Very happy and would def recommend her!!!
