1. Jana S.

“Jana was great, very responsive and sent the cutest pics of my Teddy. He usually doesnt want to eat for strangers but he was so comfortable with Jana he ate at every meal. 10/10 looking forward to having Jana stay again.”


2. Laquan J.

“Will absolutely be booking with Laquan again! He watched our dog in our home on short notice and followed our instructions very thoroughly and was very professional. He was communicative with check-ins about how our dog was doing and made sure to send us photos, too. He was also extremely respectful of our home and we returned back to a clean house and a happy pup! Our dog requires someone to be with her at our house, and it can be stressful to find someone trustworthy that we can feel comfortable leaving her with - we’re grateful that we found Laquan and look forward to booking with him in the future!”


3. Allie P.

“Allie was great! I booked her last minute as she was recommended to me by a friend of mine. She was quick to respond, very thorough in her meet and greet & took great care of Cleo. My sweet girl had the best time and I had nothing to worry about because Allie kept me up to date the entire stay with descriptions of my pet’s behavior and activities as well as pictures. We came home to a clean house & a happy pup. I will definitely book her again next time I need a petsitter!”


4. Christine H.


“Christine was wonderful! She responded very quickly to my request at the last minute for a sitter after a death in the family. Ziva was well care for and I will definitely call in her again! Thank you so much Christine!”


5. Breana L.


“Breana is amazing!! She took care of my home and pups like they were hers and I will definitely rebook with her. Her interview of me was great, she covered all the bases and made sure all the details were covered. She sent lots of updates and pictures, which I appreciated being able to see my pups happy. And I came home to zero issues, everyone gated and happy. Breana is professional and kind and I'm so thankful for her.”


6. Cranesha T.

“Cranesha was fantastic! I almost don’t want to recommend her because selfishly I want her all to myself for all of my sitting needs for the future but she deserves this stellar review so I have to tell everyone how fantastic she is! Communication is spot on! I had a helicopter mom moment and want to check on Dozer and within seconds she sent me a photo to show me that he was doing just fine! I can tell when dozer leaves a sitting experience stressed or happily exhausted and my boy had the best time! She communicated any and everything with him that I would have wanted communicated and really went above and beyond! Thanks Cranesha! You will be hearing from us again VERY soon!”


7. Aerial P.

“We recently took a trip that our fur babies couldn’t go with us. Aerial dog/house sat for us. When we got home, the dogs were tired and the hose was clean. It was evident that she kept our babies on their schedule. She sent us pictures while we were gone and glad to see them playing ball, which is a must! Aerial is responsible and would recommend her when looking for a dog/house sitter.”


8. Craig N.

“Craig was awesome! He’s a kind and gentle person with my dogs. He paid attention to details of their care, asked questions and took good care of my home. Recommend Craig to watch your animals for sure!”


9. Jennifer N.
“Jennifer is great with all animals! She has a huge backyard for all sizes. She spoils them with treats, and lots of attention. She is the only one I trust with our Lola. I would recommend her with your fur baby’s.”


10. Makaira F.
“Makaira is a wonderful pet caregiver. She has cared for our pet numerous times and she always treats them like her own. She is very attentive to the owners wishes. You will not go wrong hiring her to help take care of your fur babies.”


11. Sheliya V.

“So we had an unexpected trip to Louisiana come up for my father in laws funeral. I was at a loss and searched Rover for a suitable sitter that could handle our kennel load, which would include being at the house most of the time due to Fergus having severe separation anxiety from me. It wasn’t long before I found Sheliya!! I was thrilled that she would stay over and do her work from our house. And believe me she came through like a charm…she handled our guys (who are big….big) no problem. And they loved her. I was thrilled to get updates and pics of walks and quiet time. Sheliya is a sweetheart and her love for animals is amazing….she even took on our outdoor garage cats that showed up and the squirrels that knock on the windows for nuts. These guys were spoiled with extra walks and playtime in the back yard…cuddles and doggie massages!! We will definitely have Sheliya back to watch over our babies. Thank you she she!!! We all love you!! Fiona, Pia & Fergus!!!”


12. Alicia M.

“Alicia was the best sitter I could have asked for. She took the best care of my dog one could ask for. My dog was drawn to her instantly and didn't leave her side when she was watching him. I couldn't be happier with her service.”




13. Megan H.


“Megan is such a sweet soul. We will most definitely use her again! She kept the dogs on their schedule and even took them to the dog park. She kept us informed while we were out of town and gave me a peace of mind that my babies were safe.”


14. ShaRonda D.

“Roni was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend her. I have 2 large dobermans and she disciplined, cared and loved on them with ease. She is brilliant! She was constantly in contact with me sending images etc and she is a wonderful person.”


15. Leanne F.

“Leanne gave our dog so much love. Her communication was great and she sent several pictures throughout the day which gave us peace of mind. We would definitely recommend Leanne and will be utilizing her house sitting/dogsitting services in the near future.”


16. Alix P.

“Alix was great when she watched my dog and cat. She treated them like her own and gave me tons of updates. She even went above and beyond and offered to drip my faucets overnight when temperatures fell below freezing!”


17. Paola P.

“Paola is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our furry babies! She is very warm, friendly and reliable. When we came home from our trip, our little furry troop was relaxed and happy, and our home was spotless. Paola, thank you for taking such awesome care of Finnlea and Rooster. We look forward to working with you again!!”


18. Lydia M.


“Lydia worked with us and was able to accommodate us. She took great care of our 3 dogs and answered our questions and stayed in contact with us before and during her stay. We would highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: I love animals and going to college to become a veterinarian. I have been around animals my whole life because of friends and family and i am always the happiest when i am around animals specially dogs. I am really good with dogs and i can even train them. I am going to Louisiana State university to become a veterinarian and i think it would be nice to be able to spend time with dogs and interact with them in the mean time. My whole life dogs always love and enjoy being around me and im just really good with them and i have always been good with them. No matter how big or small they are i think they can just tell when you show them love

About: Your pups will receive the best care and attention while you're away. I work from home full-time and while boarding dogs in my home, I do not spend more than a couple of hours at a time out of our home. I have two rescue dogs, Jarvis & Jumbo. They're both poodle mixes and get along very well with other dogs. We have a large, 6-8 ft privacy fenced in back yard with grass and plenty of safe romping room. I know how important it is to have peace of mind for your pets while you have to be away from them. If you are interested in booking a stay in our home, please make sure to provide the last date of vaccinations for your pet. Thank you for considering hiring me to take great care of your pets. I look forward to meeting you. I work-from-home full-time, so your pup/s will receive the best care, around the clock, with as many outings as they need for exercise and relief. I have a large, completely privacy fenced back yard for exercise and play. They have access to all space inside our home as they would yours. If you'd like to have them crated, please bring the crate.
