“Chauna was absolutely amazing with our little Beignet. She provided an update and photos of our baby every day. When we picked him up he seemed so happy yet disappointed to leave. We'll be using her again and we will recommend her to everyone. 10/10”


“Jessica was the best Rover we’ve had so far. She genuinely cared for Hazel like she was her own dog. She also cared about the house rules we typically have for Hazel and what she is and is not allowed to do. She was extremely knowledgeable on how to accommodate for different circumstances a dog might have. Jessica took Hazel on walks and play dates and provided many photos and videos throughout the stay. Jessica was very kind and we will definitely be booking again with her!”


“Thank you, guys for taking such good care of my spoiled child. it was our first time leaving him in the care of someone other than family. You've made our experience so pleasant. Thank you, Thank you, You were a true God sent!!!!!!”


“Ariana did so amazing with Pongo! He got lots of exercise and attention. She sent plenty of updates including pictures. He was on tummy meds which she kept up with perfectly. Overall if I could give 10 stars I would!!”


“Cannot recommend her enough! We’ve never left our dog with anyone but family and she treated him so well. We got pictures and videos every day of how he was doing. He was such a happy boy when we picked him up :)”


“Lauren and her wife were fantastic! My pet looked so happy in every picture they send me, and when I picked her up, she was not stressed at all! They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and I am very thankful for how they treated my pup! If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and sweet to take care of your fur baby, stop and book Lauren, you won’t regret it!”


About: I just love dogs. I have rescued and fostered for years. I can't wait to meet your pup and take good care of your baby. I'm currently home full time and am available to board or they are welcome for just the day. I am flexible and am confident your pup will be happy in my home. You will get updates as you wish I have a fifteen year old yorkie who is sweet with everyone and all dogs. I don't have a fenced yard but we are very active and will go on many walks on my twelve-acre property.

“First time using rover and first time leaving our girl with anybody and could not have asked for a better experience! Kristin was great, kept us updated, treated our girl like she was her own! To be honest she spoiled her more than we do 🤣”


“Claire did a wonderful job caring for our elderly dog Ellie! She was responsive and understanding when we needed a little bit of extended time on our way home due to bad weather!”


About: Hi, I’m Annika, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! Growing up in a home filled with love and pets—dogs, cats, rabbits and even a few chickens —I developed a deep bond with animals early on. I understand that pets are more than just companions; they’re family. Whether your furry friend needs long walks, cozy cuddles, or playtime that matches their energy, I’ll provide the same care and attention I’d give my own. Let me help make your pet feel loved and happy, even when you can’t be there! I work from home most days, except for Tuesdays, which gives me plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, your furry friend will have my full focus and care throughout the day. I have experience with both dogs and cats. My 10-year-old German Shepherd, gets along well with both, requiring only a short introduction. We go on walks every day, and she is fully updated on all vaccinations, ensuring a healthy environment for all pets in my care. She’s an indoor dog and sleeps in my room in her own bed, so your pet will have a comfortable and safe space too. I’ve also dog-sat for my coworker’s Husky and Lab, and it went wonderfully! I’ve also had the pleasure of watching my best friend’s hilarious pug, who became a great friend to my girl. Raised with cats, she frequently visits my parents’ home, which is full of cats, her two best friends Monty, a mixed terrier, and Bayou, a black lab, and even chickens. Your pet will feel right at home!

“Rhonda was fantastic with my pup. She was very communicative and kept me updated on how she was doing. I received photos, she followed her feeding schedule and accommodated me when I had to pick her up early. She has a lover for animals that is very obvious and helped put my mind at ease. I am so happy to have found someone to love on my pup while I'm away and will be using her again.”

About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience and a lifelong love for animals, I bring genuine passion and reliability to every pet I care for. As a dedicated pet parent to two happy, well-loved dogs, I understand the importance of trust, safety, and personalized attention. I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they deserve. As a self-employed bakery owner, I have the flexibility to make my own schedule—meaning I’m available any time of day to give your pets the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening visits, I can adapt to meet your pet’s needs. I follow your pet’s routine closely, provide loving care, and keep your home tidy—ensuring comfort, safety, happiness, and plenty of tail wags while you’re away.

“We could not have been more pleased to say the lease about leaving our puppy with Kourtney. We obviously were nervous because of louis only being 5 months old and not knowing Kourtney. However Louis keeps asking when are we going on vacation again so he can go back to the babysitter?? lol The environment was clean and Kourtney and Brian were great. We got pics and updates on a regular basis. When we picked up louis she gave us pointers on potty training and even a gift basket with treats and medicated whips for the wrinkles under the eyes of French bulldogs. I would highly recommend Kourtney for doggy sleepovers and peace of mind while on vacation. Louis will definitely be going back.”

“Marisa did a great job with my dogs. My big boy is scared of thunder and she made sure he was well taken care of care of during some storms that passed through. Will book again.”

“Mary is fantastic! She is so patient and loving especially with skittish, surly cats! My cat Kaleb never takes to anyone and when he came back from all of the other places he was skinny, had lost a lot of his fur and took a long time to get back to his old self. With Mary he warmed up to her in about 2 days and even rubbed her leg. When I came to pick him up he was down for the night and very comfortable, understandably he did not want to come with me and that has never happened before. He loves it there and so do I! Mary and Dana are the absolute best out there! I most definitely will book with her again and again and again..”


About: I have had a wide variety of different types of pets throughout my life such as (snakes, hedgehogs, raccoons, pigs, chickens, etc.). Having learned to care for each and every one of them. Has provided me with substantial knowledge in how to deal with pets whether puppies or full grown large dog breeds. In 2024, I rescued my German shepherd. When we got him he was only 4 months old and in critical condition, suffering from starvation and diseases. Throughout my care I have been able to provide my dog a happy and healthy ongoing life. I’m a full-time college student however, I am currently on summer break and am available at your service 24/7 to provide the best pet care possible. I have several acres of land for your pet to play on as well as a pond for your baby to swim in! Along with 1 very friendly dog for your pup to play with. My yard is unfenced, so pups will be supervised when playing outside. I can crate your pup throughout the night if needed.

“Kirsten W. thank you so much for the care and attention you provided to William. William is part of my family and I appreciate that you made him feel welcomed into your family. He enjoyed playing with you and your son. We look forward to his next visit! Thank you and your whole family!”


“When I came back from TDY, my dogs had a fresh bath, they appeared happy and healthy. I enjoyed the daily update on how much they ate, toileting, walks, and pictures. I highly recommend her services.”


About: I've had experience caring for both dogs and cats since I was little, and they've always been a big part of my life. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I know how to read their body language, keep them safe, and make sure they feel loved while you're away. I treat every animal like my own and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Pet care is something I truly enjoy, and I make time for it in my daily routine. Whether it’s going for walks, feeding, playing, or just giving attention and affection, I’m happy to adjust my schedule to meet a pet’s needs. I’m reliable and flexible, and I treat caring for pets as a priority, not just a side task. Making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for is always part of my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow any routines or instructions closely; feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. In my home, I provide a calm and pet-friendly space where they can relax and feel at ease. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and aim to keep their pet’s routine as normal as possible. I give lots of attention, playtime, and care so pets feel happy and well looked after wherever they are.

About: I have enjoyed watching fur babies for friends and family when they needed a little alone time! I once watched a hedgehog and my sister came home to 7 of them (she didn’t know she was pregnant) lol. I’m currently a stay at home Grammy, and I homeschool 2 of my grandkids. I have a golden doodle and shorkie inside my home! I recently moved to Ponchatoula, so I also have a lab and lab/Great Pyrenees mix that stay outside only because they use to be farm dogs and never really wanted to come inside. I plan to watch your dog inside my home and I have a doggie door that leads outside into a fenced in area to get some sun or shade!

While I was away, he kept me updated with messages and pictures, and it was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. I came home to happy, relaxed pets and everything just as I left it. You can tell he really cares! I’d trust him with my pets anytime.”


Stacie R.
“My pups are anxious and don’t do well in boarding facilities. Travel used to be a challenge before we found Stacie. They love to go to “Aunt” Stacie’s house. She does everything she can to make them feel at home and ease their stress of being away. I never have to worry about them not eating, and they love playing in her huge yard. She is an excellent caregiver and we are so happy to have her.”
