“Randy took such good care of my Princess while I was away. My flight was delayed coming back and Randy was totally understanding and patient. I will absolutely let Amver stay with again next time I can't take her with me. Thank you to Randy and Winston for a home away from home for my baby girl”



“Cora loved Shelby's home. Shelby sent photos and videos and little messages throughout our trip, which really eased our worries about leaving Cora for the first time. Cora was happy and energetic when I picked her up and Shelby's mother expressed her love our pup. Thank you for caring for our girl!”


“Aja was very loving and attentive to my senior rat terrier, Macey. Macey is a very nervous dog and is pretty timid in her old age. I was looking for someone to care for her where she would feel comfortable and at ease. Macey seemed calm when I went to get her after her one-night stay with Aja, her first Rover experience. Aja kept me well informed of how she was doing during her stay and provided me with pics of her. She seemed to be pretty calm when I picked her up, which made me feel good about her experience. I am grateful to Aja for her welcoming personality and her loving demeanor towards her guests and will be using her again for a longer stay soon!”


“You’re lucky if you can book mike! My dogs were so happy and well cared for after we got back we could tell they were treated like kings! He sent tons of photos, and gave updates daily. Next time we’re out of town we’ll certainly be reaching out to mike!”


“Liz did a fantastic job watching our cat, Maybird. This is our second time with Liz and we were so impressed with how she went out of her way to accommodate our shy pet. Highly recommend! Thank you so much Liz.”


“Mary was a wonderful sitter. She sent pictures and kept me updated on the status of my fur baby. He seemed to be in great spirits upon picking him up. Will definitely recommend Mary as a sitter and utilize her service again in the near future.”


“Ben is an awesome sitter. My labs absolutely loved him. Great communication! He kept us informed about how our fur babies were doing and provided pictures during their stay. We will definitely book with Ben again.”


“We cannot say enough positive things about Kat and Ethan. They sent a picture of Tory to my wife and I shortly after I dropped Tory off. They continued keeping us updated throughout the four days that we were out of town. In all the pictures, Tory looks as happy as when he is with us. In short, Kat & Ethan made Tory feel like he was one of the family. He made friends with their dogs, Brady and Gus and throughout our trip, we just knew Tory was in good hands. We would recommend Kat & Ethan to anyone who wants the Best of the Best in a Dog Sitter.”


“Regina is amazing! My dog is very very skittish and usually needs a lot of time to get used to new people. I wonder how Regina could win my dog's trust so quickly! I cannot think of a better sitter than Regina!”


“I felt so safe leaving my baby with Mrs. D! She is a true animal whisperer. I know that my pup got the same love that she gives her own animals and I found that so comforting. My Santiago got plenty of exercise and I got pictures and videos sent to me while I was working. I will definitely leave my baby with her again in the future. Thank you again 🥰”


“Jon took amazing care for Panfila. She came back home with a wagging tail and was very happy to stay with him. Jon is very attentive and really caters to each dog individually. Look forward to leaving her with him in the future.”


“My dogs were spoiled during my time away! I received daily updates and pictures/videos to prove they had a great time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”


“Lynn was great. She watched our two dogs (Greyhound and Cheweenie) over the 4th of July weekend. They tend to get nervous, but she made them feel comfortable. They were two happy campers when we picked them up.”


“Ivette was great! She was able to take my last-minute booking and seemed genuinely excited to spend time with my dog. I received a lot of updates and pictures. Pup came home happy and calm. Will rebook!”


“Julia is amazing, she had everything ready when we arrived and was an excellent host for our doggie. She kept us up to date on Moo's days and made her feel at home. I highly recommend her. Will be going back to her when we come back.”


“Amy was really great with our dog Gabi during our stay in NOLA! We were there for a quick few days and it was great knowing that our dog was well taken care of. Amy was flexible with scheduling and demonstrated knowledge and expertise when it came to accommodating Gabi’s medical condition. Amy was great to talk to about the area and very kind to our dog, who always seemed enthusiastic to be with her. I would bring my dog to Amy again whenever we come back to New Orleans!”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and temperaments, including those with special needs like severe rain anxiety and seizure disorders. I’m very patient and attentive, providing calm reassurance during stressful moments. My active lifestyle and fully fenced yard mean dogs get plenty of exercise and safe playtime every day. I treat every dog like family, handling feeding, medications, and any special care with love and professionalism. You can trust me to keep your furry friend happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away. I receive my work schedule weekly, so as long as I know at least a week in advance, I can request off and be home full-time with your pet. I’m happy to plan around your booking so I can give your pet my full attention. I love being active and spending time with animals, so I make sure they get plenty of play, love, and care throughout the day. I am available any day of the week including weekends, like I said, as long as I know a week in advance to fix my work schedule. I am also available for overnight boarding. In my home, pets are treated like family. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and I’m always with them during outside time. Inside, I create a calm, cozy environment where they can relax and feel at home. I follow each pet’s routine closely, from feeding schedules to preferred sleep spots to help them feel safe and secure. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities.

About: I’ve had cats for 37 years and currently care for two—both independent, with very different personalities. My dog Walter, a playful and well-mannered Shepherd-Pit mix, is my first dog of my own, but I’ve helped care for dogs through friends, family, and past relationships for years. I’ve always had a natural connection with animals and know how to create a calm, reassuring environment for pets of all kinds. Whether I’m caring for a curious kitten, a senior cat, a high-energy dog, or a more reserved pup, I adjust to their pace and preferences. I’m observant, reliable, and always make your pet’s comfort and routine my top priority. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available most evenings for drop-ins and walks, and I offer full availability on weekends for boarding or extended care. Whether your pet needs a quick evening check-in or a cozy place to stay over the weekend, I’m happy to provide consistent, loving care that fits your schedule. Pet care is a meaningful part of my life outside of work, and I treat every visit with attention and heart. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I have a fully fenced yard and a peaceful home shared with a well-mannered dog, two independent cats, and my 10-year-old son—who absolutely loves animals and is gentle, respectful, and supervised at all times. I can provide crate accommodations if needed and follow your pet’s routine closely. Whether your pet prefers quiet spaces or enjoys friendly company, I offer a secure, low-stress environment with lots of attention, structure, and love. You'll also receive regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you're away.
