About: Iâve always had a love for animals including my two current doodles and one sweet kitty! I have cared for numerous animals throughout my life, and now I hope to meet your precious fur babies! I am currently out of school for the summer and only working for my parentsâ company, so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! I will make sure your pets get lots of attention and receive their meals on time. I will adapt any schedule to your specific requirements, ensuring them safe and happy care while their parent(s) are away:)
About: Iâve had the privilege of making animal care my life for the past 30+ years. Iâve worked at 2 zoos, a wildlife preserve and now I pet sit full time. I love meeting new pets and their parents. My main priority is ensuring your animal is comfortable and safe while youâre away. I strive to give peace of mind to any worried pet parents. đ My favorite activities with your Furkid include enrichment with toys, fetching, dispensing treats and rubbing backs and bellies. I can medicate, give insulin and prepare special diets. Iâm also trained in animal first aid and I excel at following directions. Animal care is all I do. I can do daily walks/visits up to 3 times a day. Iâm also available for house sitting and overnights. I have a number of clients in the Baton Rouge area with different pet care needs and I make my own schedule. I stick to their usual daily routine or follow whatever instructions are left. I like to keep a consistent visit/feeding/potty time. I have a lot of patience and will encourage your pet to socialize with me. We can do whatever they like, play with toys, take walks, eat treats, rub backs or just sit together. I also water plants, check mail/paper and keep a general an eye on things.
About: As a veterinary student, I have experience handling and caring for animals through veterinary school, clinical experiences, and shelter volunteering. My training has taught me to pay close attention to an animalâs behavior, comfort, appetite, and overall well-being. Iâm comfortable following detailed feeding and medication instructions and caring for pets that may need a little extra patience or attention. While pet sitting is not a substitute for veterinary care, my veterinary background helps me recognize when something seems unusual and communicate concerns quickly with an owner. Hi! Iâm an LSU veterinary student with hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and needs. As both a veterinary student and pet owner, I understand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pet while youâre away. My veterinary training has given me experience with animal handling, recognizing changes in behavior and comfort, and administering medications. I provide attentive, individualized care and make sure owners receive regular updates and photos so they can feel confident their pets are happy and well cared for. As a veterinary student, my schedule varies throughout the week, but Iâm very intentional about only accepting bookings that I can fully accommodate. I plan pet care around my class and school schedule to make sure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Iâm generally available for evening care on weekdays, with additional flexibility throughout the day depending on my class schedule. My weekends tend to be more flexible. Iâm happy to coordinate with each owner to maintain their petâs usual feeding, walking, playtime, and medication routine as closely as possible. Your petâs safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary student, Iâm attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, and overall well-being, and Iâll communicate with you promptly if I notice anything unusual. I carefully follow each petâs established routine and your specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and household safety. I also understand that every pet has different boundaries, so I take the time to build trust and allow them to interact at their own pace. When caring for pets in your home, Iâll treat both your pet and your space with respect. You can expect regular updates and plenty of pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while youâre away. đž

About: I've been taking care of animals since 12! from cats to goats! I've taken care of many different animals and love every animal as my own! I believe our animals are our children and deserve the utmost care! I am available Mon-Fri from sunrise till sunset! I am a college student, but am completely online, so I am very flexible with any schedules! I allow them space to get used to a new person and environment and provide a calm space where they can explore at their own pace. I will give them all the attention and care they need!

About: Growing up we had 3 cats and we also fostered many young pets and I would take care of our neighbors pets. The apartment I currently live in doesn't allow pets, so I would love to care for others pets! I am currently a student at LSU, but I have time in between classes and i'm more free in the evening. I'm pretty flexible especially on weekends. I will follow all instructions necessary for your home! I don't currently offer my home as an option, so I will come to your home to pet sit.
âAllison was great with my girl Avery! Plenty of walks and frequent updates. Happy with the care that was provided. I plan on booking her services again in the future.â

About: I enjoy walks and being outdoors as much as any dog. I also enjoy a slower pace and can provide care and companionship to your fur friend who might not be as active. Full-time student at LSU. My schedule allows flexibility to provide services that can meet your pet's needs. I share my affection evenly between all the fur friends and will love to meet yours! My services will be provided in clients home since mine is only pet-proofed for my little guy. Detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated so I know first hand the do's and don'ts of your home and how best to care for your fur friend!
âIsabel is professional, reliable and cared well for my dogs. Sheâs also a kind person and easy to work with. Sheâs a great communicator and I appreciate everything she did for keeping my dogs safe. Thank you, Isabel!â


About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have cared for breeds of all sizes and personalities, from energetic Toy Poodles to gentle Great Danes. One of my most meaningful experiences was raising and training a Black Labrador from just 8 weeks old until she was 16 months old, when she moved on to professional service dog training. That experience taught me the value of patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and maintaining training routines. I'm comfortable caring for puppies through every stage of development, keeping dogs mentally and physically engaged, and adapting to each dog's unique personality and energy level. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or a relaxing day at home, I'll provide dependable, loving care and treat them like one of my own. I've always been active, so spending time outdoors and going on walks is already a part of my daily routine. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Since moving away for school, I really miss having animals around, so pet sitting and walking is something I genuinely look forward to, not just a job! Whether it's an energetic adventure, a neighborhood stroll, or simply keeping your pet company, I'm committed to making sure they feel loved, exercised, and cared for while you're away. I believe the best care starts with keeping your pet's routine as consistent as possible. Every dog has their own personality, preferences, and schedule, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel comfortable and happy. Whether that means sticking to feeding times, reinforcing training commands, going for long walks, playing their favorite game, or simply offering companionship, I'll care for them the way you would. I also understand how important peace of mind is while you're away, so I'll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages. My goal is for you to come home to a happy, well-cared-for pet who has felt safe, loved, and comfortable the entire time.
âAnika came to my house five days out of the week for a month to walk and train my puppy. He was the most well-behaved dog youâve ever met after working with her. As a first-time dog owner, she always gave advice and helped assuage my anxieties. Timeliness/communication: A+ Thoroughness: A+ Care and concern for your pet: A+â
About: Iâve grown up with pets my whole life, and have had two dogs myself. Iâve spent the last two years living with two wonderful cats. I easily warm up to new pets, and will take my time when learning your petâs needs. I can quickly learn feeding requirements despite how complex it gets, I remain patient always. I have been pet sitting for neighbors and family for 5 years now, and Iâd like to continue giving a helping hand to pets nearby. I work a restaurant job starting at 4, so I am available until 3:30 everyday. I am able to be up early in the morning, and can stay to pet sit until I need to leave for work. I help with my roomates cats daily by feeding/playing. I do not offer in home service, but I am mobile and able to house sit and make drop in visits as needed! I walked my own dog semi-weekly for 2 years and I currently help care for my two roomates cats.
About: I am a Least intrusive minimally aversive dog trainer, and AKC evaluator. I foster with multiple rescues. I have experience working with all types of dogs. I am very knowledgeable on dog body language, behavior, and genetics. You can also visit us on instagram for pictures of past and current boarding pups, and donât forget to send us a message on Instagram with the word âRoverâ to unlock an exclusive discount Avalon.k9s I have a flexible schedule as I work for myself, I spend my free time training dogs, and when Iâm busy Iâm also training dogs. I have a whole room in my house dedicated to dogs, but theyâre welcome anywhere in the house, I have a fenced in yard and Iâm located close to some lakes. I have tons of unique enrichment opportunities for your pups, including things like snuffle mats, puzzles, kongs, and more. My house is puppy proofed, because I often foster and train dogs! Being a multiple dog household I cannot board any dog with same sex aggression, human aggression, or idiopathic aggression, and reactive dogs will be a case by case basis, However, being a trainer I am more than open to help families work through these issues. Please let me know of any medical conditions or allergies! I like to use treats when working with dogs, so I recommend bringing some yummy high value treats so their tummy doesnât get upset! If you are interested in dog training and would like to do a Board & Train contact me for more details! I also offer training packages during boarding, so if you want your pup to work on some basic obedience feel free to ask for more info!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesnât offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
