“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.
About: I’ve had animals in my house for a majority of my life growing up, as well as exposure to all sorts of animals, domestic and non-domestic. I have house sitting experience as well, with several families entrusting me to stay at their house for a week at a time. My desire is to be reliable, communicative, and fun so that you feel at ease leaving your pet in my hands! My favorite experience in pet sitting was caring for 4 sheep that were preparing to be sold at auction. I even had to carry one back into the pin! It was incredible. I have a flexible job (I am a graduate student at Louisiana Tech) so my hours are flexible, specifically with lunch times and weekends this summer. I prefer staying over night with the pet because it allows me to care even better for the pet and house. I like to leave things better than I find it, and that applies to dog sitting just as much!
“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 had animals in my home since I was a little kid. I have been known to be a frequent dog watcher for many years. I go into others homes and have house/dog sat for many years and enjoy every bit! I have done old, new and all inbetween type dogs! Big or small I enjoy serving families and helping with their dog care! My job is flexible so I can come in and out as much as you need. I also can stay the night. I would prefer this actually to make sure dog has all it needs and house is kept in order I am very passionate about doing what is asked of me in pet care. I want the dog to be able to be around me and still maintain all training and methods that the owner has instilled. I work hard to do everything by the instructions of the specific owner
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: Hi my name is Olivia G and I am the dog parent to an adorable chihuahua named Lilo! Animals have always been a part of my family and hold a special place in my heart. A wise person once told me find a job that speaks to your heart and you will never work a day your life. I have found that at Tulane University where I work directly with the women’s basketball team as the Director of player development and video. I believe Rover can also be a job that speaks to my heart. If you are looking for someone that will love and care for your pet as their own. I am the person you are looking for. It would be my honor to take care of your dog.
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!
“George was a lifesaver! He was available so last minute. I highly recommend booking with him! He checked in on my English bull dog on time, played with him, fed him, and sent pictures to let me know that he was good! He even put a delivery package in my house so that it wouldn’t be sitting outside while I was away. Will DEFINITELY book with George again!”
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs of various ages and sizes for three years now! I would love to care for your pet as my own whether they’re boarding over night in my home or I’m just stopping in to visit them! I work full time with a Monday to Friday job! I have a two hour lunch to check in your furry family member as well as a half day on Thursdays! Weekends I have full availability! I have a friendly dog that is great with other dogs and cats since I also have a cat as well! I have a fenced in backyard as well for your best friend to play in!
About: I am currently a senior at Louisiana Tech University majoring in Animal Science. Prior to enrolling in college, I volunteered my time at my local animal shelter to aid in socializing dogs for the future possibility of adoption. Also, I've had many pets of my own, including a miniature poodle, a guinea pig, hamster, rat terrier, a domestic shorthair cat, and many others. These pets are no longer with me due to their inevitable old age. I also have farm animal experience that includes administering deworming medication to goats, as well as experience with cattle. I absolutely love animals of all kinds, especially dogs! I take great pride in caring for pets and companion animals. I have a flexible schedule, and will be available for dog walking services everyday after 12:15 pm. I can be contacted through the Rover app at any time regarding my availability. Your pet will be well taken care of and will only be given food/treats upon request. I will walk your dog and provide plenty of water.
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: Out of my family when growing up, even when little, I have been the primary one to care for our dogs. I would bathe them, let them out, train them, walk them, etc. I'd even go out of my way to help those of friends as well. I have a huge care for pets and making sure they're as loved as you make them feel. I'm currently in college at LA Tech, but only have three classes this quarter! My latest classes are from 2-5, everyday, but anytime after 5 PM works! I also only have one class on Tuesdays and Thursday, so any check ins early-on on those days works as well. Besides that, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I have the 2-5 class, but also a class at 9:30 AM, so only afternoons work those days. All weekends should work for me! While I can not take care of your pet in my own home, I find being able to bring them comfort and care in their own environment where they are used to being to help them feel truly cared for. I know how lonesome our pets can be when we are gone, whether they have another person caring for them or not, so I like to go above and beyond to give them their normal care and love so things won't feel too differently for them for the time being.
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.

Jemiah was amazing with our energetic Rottweiler! She handled everything perfectly — from walks to feeding to bathroom breaks — and always with a calm, confident, and caring attitude. Our pup can be a handful, but Jemiah clearly has the experience and energy to keep up. Roxie came back happy and tired (the best kind of tired!), and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in great hands. We’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!
