“Katie was awesome as always! We booked her for a drop-in this time and she made sure Toast got all of her energy out by playing in the backyard, fed her, and gave her medication as instructed. Toast loves it when she comes to visit!”
“If I could give more stars I would! This is our first time to leave our dogs with someone, and Kacey C. Made it the best experience we could have asked for! She made us feel very comfortable leaving them. She kept us updated on everything with plenty of photos, and one of our dogs had a seizure during her care and she kept us updated on all that was going on the whole time. We highly recommend her, and will definitely be using her again while in the area.”
“Jordan did a great job taking care of my 4 kitties and feeding them twice a day + litter scooping. She followed all my instructions perfectly and sent informative notes and photos after every visit. She's a very busy lady, so a somewhat flexible time-schedule from the pet owner would probably be the best fit, i.e. "morning" instead of 8am on the dot. I really appreciated her help!”
“Yuli was beyond amazing! Communicative, reliable, and super friendly. She let me know about any concerns going on at home as well as sent pictures and updates abt my baby. Couldn’t recommend more!!! Book her!”
“Johanna was great! Reliable, kind and calming. She sent several pics a day and it appears our pup was well cared for while we were gone, which was such a weight off our shoulders! Would love to have her as a sitter again in the future.”
“Savannah was so thoughtful and kind our family will 100% be using her services again. Our dog max has heart worms and she administered his meds, gave him so much love and attention and notified me of any strange behaviors and offered more help if we needed. Our family is thankful for her kind spirit and dedication to her work. She was great with our hyper puppy and house cat as well! If you’re in the market for a pet sitter, she’s your girl!”
About: I’ve had a dog in the house since I was 5 years old. I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years as a boarder before I permanently moved to Baton Rouge. I go to LSU and major in animal science. I have medicated and taken care of anxious/aggressive dogs. I am patient, gentle, and I take account that each pet is a family member to each owner. I am currently enrolled at LSU majoring in Animal science. I have wanted to foster or get a pet of my own since moving here but I have not been able to, so I decided to make my side hustle helping others with the things I love to do. I am available on weekdays and most weekends. Just message me ahead of time for weekends! I am easygoing and easy to communicate with. I have a fenced little yard and I enjoy walking around my gated neighborhood, so I will do so with your pet. I follow instructions well, I am aware each pet is different and have their own personality. I’m slow and a quick learner, since I have handled hundreds different dogs for a handful of years. If I am ever confused on an instruction my first instinct is to contact you to make sure and not just “assume”.
About: I’m a recent LSU graduate with lots of free time to love on your animals!! I have extensive experience with neonate (baby) cats and dogs. I work full time in Baton Rouge. Most days I work from home so I have plenty of time to take for your pet. Your pet would be my first priority. I’m always willing to go the extra mile for you and your pet! I will send pictures and updates as often as you request. My extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs prepares me well for whatever needs your animal may have.
About: I’ve had the privilege of making animal care my life for the past 30+ years. I’ve 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 you’re away. I strive to give peace of mind to any worried pet parents. 😊 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. I’m 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. I’m 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.
“Mikayla is my go-to drop by sitter for my dog, Latte! Latte loved her instantly, and they’ve been getting along well with his successful pottying & play times with her. I definitely recommend her as a sitter. :)”
About: I am a life long pet lover with years of experience caring for elderly dogs and cats. I currently have a 21 year old cat who I care for. I have experience administering medication, doing intravenous liquids, and overall caring for elderly and special needs animals. I love to walk dogs and love all pets! Also have years of experience with hamsters and lizards! I will be taking care of your children with my partner, Stormy Snyder, who grew up with large dogs and is amazing with them! She has years of experience training dogs, teaching them tricks, walking them, and loving on them! Together we are a power couple that will treat your fur baby like royalty I am currently on summer break as a grad student and am looking for ways to make some extra income and stay busy. I am basically always available and have a car. I am very safety first person and treat my animals as though they were precious babies ( which they are)! I am trained in CPR for cats and dogs and have a local pet ER on speed dial
About: I am currently getting my PhD in Animal Science! Aside from study animals for a living, I have 5+ years of commercial care experience with small and large animals. Raised by a dog trainer and breeder for a mom, I grew up with many types of animals, including exotics like geckos and hamsters. I currently have two cats, Willow and Clover. I can’t wait to meet your pets! It is already a part of my daily routine to care for my own pets so I don’t mind a couple more! I work full time but my schedule is super flexible. I am generally available on weekends as well. I offer services like cat sitting, dog sitting, dog walking, horse chores, and can care for exotic pets as well. My own pets health and safety are my top priority, and I always ensure the same for my clients.
“Ava is an amazing dog-sitter and walker… she cared for my dogs like they were her own. She is punctual and made sure my dogs were given care, attention, exercise and entertainment while I was away.”
About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life. I worked at a dog day care and vet hospital for 2 years and have owned horses since I was 7. I have years of experience with animal care. I love spending time with people’s cats and dogs! I have experience with administering medication and experience with dogs of all ages. I am available most afternoons and some mornings. I work part time during the week so I can be flexible on visit times especially on the weekends. Their needs are my priority and I will make sure they are well cared for at all times. All pets will be be made comfortable either in my home or theirs!
“Myra is wonderful! She was punctual for drop ins and made sure my fur babies were cared for during my absence. I highly recommend Myra- her service is unmatched….we will definitely book again.”
About: What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and natural caregiving personality. As a future nurse currently studying at Southeastern, I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable following specific routines while paying close attention to any changes in behavior. I’m especially gentle with young pets who are still learning and need consistency. I also have a senior dog of my own, so I understand the extra patience, comfort, and attentiveness older pets need. Whether your pet is energetic or needs a slower pace, I will care for them like they’re my own. Pet care fits easily into my routine. I’m currently enrolled part-time at Southeastern University, which gives me a flexible schedule and availability throughout the week. I’m free everyday after 1pm, Wednesday I have class from 6-7pm but I am free before that time. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific care instructions provided. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection while also monitoring their behavior to ensure they’re feeling well. In a client’s home, I respect the space, keep things clean, and provide updates so owners feel at ease. My goal is always to create a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and cared for like they’re my own.
Riverland cat parents share their Rover experiences
Zoe was such a wonderful sitter for my fur babies and the photos were absolutely adorable and funny. I know they enjoyed spending time with her. I will definitely be booking her again. She made sure everything was clean and fresh before she left at let me know if there was any issues that needed to be taken care of.
Amazing sitter. Communicative, attentive, punctual and a real live Snow White. I had one of my cats pass away the day before she was to start her visits and it was breaking my heart to have to go in and remove him from the booking, she took charge and just did it for me. She just intuitively knew and I’m so thankful for that. I will absolutely use her anytime I have to go out of town again. I didn’t worry for a moment while I was gone. I just can’t say enough great things about her.
Katriana was attentive, caring and punctual. She took amazing care of my fur babies and went above and beyond giving them extra love and attention. I loved the pictures giving extra peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were gone. We will definitely use her again! Great job and thank you ❤️
