Rachel was thorough and fantastic with my old man cat, Jinx. He requires oral medication twice a day. She was able to pick up on his nuances of happy or unhappy, and always let me know his status of mood upon each checkin, she even offered to turn one of the last visits into an overnight stay as he needed a little extra attention. She worked alarm systems fine and I always was updated on her coming and going. Will hire again!

About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs since I was 12. Five years ago I adopted 2 cats. I know routines are very important. I’m currently a full time teacher at Ruston Junior High but live in Farmerville, La. I can look after pets before, after school, and weekends. I care for pets by following instructions, ensuring safety, providing companionship, feeding, walking, cleaning, giving updates, respecting the home, and maintaining a clean, secure, comfortable environment.

It’s hard for me to trust someone else with my dogs but I’m so glad I choose Rileigh!! My dogs are a bit choosy about who they trust, but they warmed up to her pretty quickly! She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and notes, and I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone I can trust completely with their care. I’ve already booked her again and plan to rely on her whenever I need help. Highly recommend! 😊

About: I have been pet-sitting since I was twelve, and I have three dogs of my own. I am experienced in caring for animals with behavioral issues and medical needs. I am a 1st year Vet student at LSU starting this August, so my summer is open until I start classes in the Fall! I have been on Rover for 4 years now and worked on this app part-time while going through my undergraduate. I cannot house pets in my home since I live in an apartment complex with limitations of the species allowed there. I will happily spend time with your babies at your home!

About: I grew up helping take care of my own pets. Not only have i taken care of my own pets but I have also helped take care of my friends' pets. I feed, walk, play, and care for dogs and cats. I am available early mornings before 6:45 am, afternoons 2pm-3pm, and evenings after 4:00 pm on Monday through Friday to walk your pet and/or provide other care. There are a few evenings (Monday and Wednesday) and times on the weekend where I have other commitments but I would work with your pet schedule the best I can! Unfortunately I am unable to provide care for pets in my place since my apartment does not allow pets. I can however provide overnight care for your pet in the comfort of your home! I will make sure that your pet is cared for as you would care for them. I kindly ask that you write down instructions on how to care for your pet, if you feel the need to do so. I understand that pet care varies from pet to pet. I appreciate you greatly for this!

About: I've had pets of all shapes and sizes for my whole life, participating in their care in considerable ways such as bathing, feeding, and clean-up. I'm familiar with breeds as small as chihuahuas and shiatzus, and as large as great danes and cane corsos. I have two cats now, Oscar and Ophelia, who I take very well care of. They want for nothing, except maybe more treats! I’m a stay at home mom preparing to get my online masters in counseling, so I have lots of flexibility to care for your pets. I'm familiar with keeping my eye on animals, even those excitable flight-risks, and am more than diligent when it comes to locking up and providing security for your home and your pet.

About: Growing up, my family always had animals of many types around. From dogs and cats to horses and chickens I have many years experience with my own animals and pet sitting for others! Very patient and willing to work with animals of all types! A pet sitter is always a better option than boarding or doggy daycare, because it gives your pup a more personalized experience with tons of one on one time, so let me spoil your pup for you while you’re away! I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time for drop ins and long walks, as well as hanging out with your dog in their own home! I strive to care for your pet like they are my own. As a dog owner myself, I know each pet comes with their specific set of needs and I do my best to make your pet feel loved and safe in my care!

About: I have had four or more dogs since I was a baby so I’m an expert at taking care of puppies. I’ve been house/dog sitting since I was in middle school and dog walking since I was a kid. I love taking care of cats, too!!! I have a couple of classes but I’m done by 2 pm everyday. I can easily fit house/dog sitting/walking into my schedule. Just message me to find out times and if that works for you, great! I’ve been house sitting for my neighborhood since I was 16 and can easily live with dogs since I have been doing it since I was a baby. I’m open to any schedule you have your dogs on and any feeding/special routine your dog needs.

Kayla was great with our dogs and listened about walking our very active dog during her stay that he didn't destroy anything in the house.

Chelsea is a very compassionate, caring, professional, dedicated, and loving person. Her love and kindness was clear every step of the way. Her ten years of experience as a Vet Technician made a huge difference in the care she offered to my kitties. The sweet presence of her young son also made a wonderful impact. My kitties love both Chelsea and her son. I was expecting very good outcomes from my first booking with Rover, but I didn't know it would be more than fantastic. Before leaving town and being away from my cats for the first time, I was honestly very nervous about leaving them with someone else other than my husband and I, but Chelsea took care of them as if they were part of her family. Our gratitude and love to Chelsea. And thank you so very much Rover for providing us with such an excellent sitter.

About: I've lived with pets all my life and have had the responsibility of taking care of them since I was 8. At first my responsibilities were to just find them and let them outside after they ate but as I started to grow up, I was expected to walk and bathe them. I have also personally trained three of my dogs for basic commands and loose leash walking. As someone who grew up with lots of pets, I am already in the routine of taking hour walks every day and that is something that stuck with me even when I moved to college. My classes are in the morning to middle of the day so I'm available for morning and night feeding with the availability of house sitting if needed. I've grown up with large dogs (ex. german shepard, doberman, rottweiler) so I'm not afraid of a big bark and know how to redirect a reactive dog.

About: I have taken care of two or more dogs at a time for my whole life, and spent much of my childhood taking care of my grandmothers farm animals too. I’m no stranger to virtually any dog breed, and can handle all types of temperaments. With over a decade of these experiences, I am the best person to care for your precious fur babies! I am graduated and a part time employee, and I am very flexible with plenty of room for time with your pets that meets your needs. I would care for pets and someone else’s home as if they were my own. I greatly value respect, and would maintain this will rules regarding both, while meeting any accommodations of the client.
