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.

“Lena was wonderful. Our dogs were very well cared for and we received several pictures each day where they appeared to be very happy. She followed several directions for medications and different foods for each pet. She is highly recommended!”


“Johanna was great with our two dogs. They got to stay in the comfort of their home and made a new friend! Would recommend her to any one and will use her services again!”


About: Hi Pet Parents! I’m Julia, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two big pups of my own. While I’m recently new to Rover, I’m no stranger to caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I have experience with everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I’m also happy to care for cats and kittens, and I know how important it is to keep their routines and comfort top of mind. I'd love to meet your fur baby! I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide care based on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning drop-ins, midday playtime, or overnight stays, I can usually accommodate a variety of routines. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and cared for! I’m a Baton Rouge local and offer in-home pet sitting to help your pet feel safe and relaxed in their own space. While I don’t board in my home due to my own two fur babies, I’m happy to do overnight stays in yours!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my: Compassionate care: I provide loving, attentive care to pets of all ages and breeds. Experience: I've worked with various pets, including dogs, cats, and small animals. Senior care: I have experience caring for senior pets with special needs. Administering medication: I'm comfortable giving medication to pets as needed. (I am a basic Emt) Reliability: I'm trustworthy, punctual, and communicate effectively with pet owners. Flexibility: I'm available for short-term or long-term pet sitting, including overnight stays. I'm dedicated to providing top-notch care for your furry friends! I am a full time firefighter and par-time US army national guards man but other than that I should be available at any time. (I plan to post my schedule if at all possible.) Feed and hydrate: Follow the pet's regular feeding schedule and provide fresh water at all times. Exercise and play: Engage in playtime and exercise activities that meet the pet's physical and mental needs. Monitor health: Keep an eye on the pet's health and behavior, and seek veterinary care if necessary. Administer medication: Give medication to pets as prescribed by their veterinarian. Grooming: Provide basic grooming services, such as brushing or nail trimming. Regular updates: Keep clients informed about their pet's activities, appetite, and overall well-being. Photos and videos: Share photos and videos of the pet to provide peace of mind for clients. By following these steps, I ensure that pets receive the care and attention they need in a safe and loving environment.

About: I’ve had friends and neighbors rely on me to take care of their dogs when gone. I’m good with walking them and taking them out to the park. I love to play with them and make sure they are loved when their owner is out of town. I can’t have my own dog in Baton Rouge and looking to help others when in a crunch. I work Monday-Thursday on the road most weeks but not all weeks. I am free every weekend to take care of your dogs. On weekends I just hang out in my apartment by myself most the time. I live in an apartment but we do have a dog park. And I am willing to travel to take care of your dog also. I can also load the dog up and take him/her to the park. The dog can stay overnight on weekends and I even have a few dog toys and bones at my place for dogs.

About: I am a pet lover with years of personal and professional dog care experience. I worked with dogs daily for 4 years, assisting in grooming, medical needs, and general caretaking. My background with animals starts at birth as my family always had at least one pet. I am very comfortable with dogs of any size and will go the extra mile every time to ensure that the animal’s needs are met or exceeded. I previously worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility where I cared for the needs of up to 50 pets either being dropped off just for the day or boarding during extended visits. I hope to book with you soon and share my love with your pets! I do have a full-time job, but I have control over my schedule which allows for flexibility to provide care for your animals. I am dedicated to providing the best care possible. I have years of experience with dogs and cats. Feeding, crating, walking, playing, and more! I am very attentive and will give my undivided attention to the care of your pet.

“Highly recommend! Alayja took good care of my dog and was very responsive.”


About: I've taken care of my pets all my life- dogs ranging in size from a laid back Shih Tzu to pitbulls, and even a wolf/lab/chow-chow mix! I currently have a cat of my own- an adorable, orange Main Coon mix named Lasagna. I love going on long walks- all the better when I am accompanied by a dog or two! Let me help you by doing what I do best- providing fun, safe and trustworthy care of your fur family while you may be at work or on vacation! I promise they'll have a dog-gone good time ! ! I'm job searching after taking a few months off to travel, which means I'm super flexible and available to take care of your pet family! Due to caring for my own indoor/outdoor cat, I am most comfortable taking care of your pets in their own environment (and I bet they will be more comfortable too!).

“Jordyn provided excellent service, took the dogs for a walk and was extremely communicative!”


About: Hi, I’m Allison! 😊 Our pets are like family, so loved and irreplaceable.❤️❤️ I’ve had around 10 years experience caring for animals. I bring a calm, compassionate, and dependable presence to every home. I adopted a senior dog about 5 years ago and committed to giving her the very best end of her life, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and medication management. I’m great with both cats and dogs and happy to care for other animals as well. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. 🐾 I offer pet sitting and housesitting. Can do overnights. Can play with animals and do short walks. Have a great way of calming animals. :) I am super flexible at the moment! I just finished grad school and in Baton Rouge working part time for the next couple months. I will be moving in August, but hoping for the opportunity to work with some families in the mean time. I maintain your pet’s daily routine, including feeding, short walks, playtime, and administering medication if needed. I’m attentive to signs of stress or illness, clean up accidents promptly, and ensure fresh water and a tidy space at all times. I also send regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

“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.
