Nolvia was great with my babies. It’s always so hard finding someone you feel comfortable with. Nolvia made it an easy choice with how responsive, willing and accommodating she was for our babies. She went way beyond what we expected. Would 100% recommend Nolvia and will definitely use her again.

Gabrielle did a great job watching my 130lb 2 y/o ridgeback. She communicated well and carefully integrated him into the group of 4 well behaved dogs that she owns. I recommend using her as a Rover sitter.

About: I focus on quality over quantity. I care for a limited number of dogs so each one gets individualized attention. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, administering basic oral medications, and caring for senior dogs who may need extra patience and routine. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and a calm atmosphere where dogs can relax and feel at home. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work a full-time office schedule, with remote work on Mondays and Tuesdays, which allows me to provide more supervision and interaction on those days. On in-office days, I maintain a consistent routine with morning, evening, and bedtime care, ensuring pets are never left without attention. I’m fully available on weekends, which allows for extra quality time, longer walks, and focused care. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet’s needs are met reliably and safely. I provide a calm and safe environment with a small fenced patio for supervised outdoor time. My condominium complex has multiple green areas that are ideal for regular walks, and there is a nearby park that allows for longer, enriching walks when appropriate. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest. Pets are always supervised during outdoor time.

Rebooked Claire for a week with our girl who can be difficult due to her fear of new people. She was cuddling with Claire and begging her for pets just a few days in because of Claire’s patience and dedication to her care. We’re so glad to have found her!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.

About: I love animals and have cared for friends’ pets whenever they’ve needed a trusted dog sitter. I’ve also fostered dogs for Take Paws Rescue, from young puppies to senior dogs, which has given me experience with pets of all ages and personalities. I treat every animal with patience, love, and attention, the same way I would want someone to care for my own pets. I recently stepped away from my full time job and currently have a very flexible schedule with open availability. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and consistency throughout the day. I currently have three rescue dogs of my own, a Doberman puppy, a two year old Doberman, and a small mixed breed. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Because of my own pets, I prefer caring for animals in their own home where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I always treat every pet with patience, love, and care as if they were my own.

About: I have always had a passion for animals goes beyond care. I have 2 cats, a leopard gecko, and an African Dwarf frog as my own pets. I have volunteered at animal shelters and worked in a veterinary clinic for a summer as a vet tech. I am also able to help with other types of pets as well, such as reptiles or mammals! I had a pet rabbit for 10 years and plenty experience with reptiles! I currently work part time right by lakeside mall, so I am available before I go in, during my lunch break (1 hour), and after I get off (latest will be 5:30) I am able to play with your pets/walk your dogs in the mornings before I go to work, during my hour long lunch break, and/or when I get off of work! My pets mean the absolute world to me. There’s nothing like gaining an animals trust and building that bond. I love every animal as my own and I can’t wait to meet your pets!

Laura was great. She came to our rescue on short notice. Stayed at our house over the weekend so we could take our kids and grandchildren away. She was great with our dogs. Sent pictures and even washed the sheets and towels swept the floor and threw out some expired milk. Thank you Laura we would love to have you in our home when we go to Australia later this year.

We are so lucky to have met Ayanna. She took such incredible care of our two dogs. We received constant updates while we were away and our dogs looked so happy to be with her. It was such a relief knowing Ayanna was looking after them. I would recommend Ayanna to anyone and look forward to having her look after our little ones again.

About: I’ve been walking and caring for animals since I was a young child, so I bring a lot of hands-on experience and confidence in handling pets of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to keep them safe, happy, and well-exercised. I’m currently working from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to pet care. I’ve developed strong time management and organizational skills that translate well into pet walking and training. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be available during key times of the day for walks, check-ins, and consistent training sessions. Since I’m already accustomed to planning my day around routines, I’m able to reliably incorporate pet care into my schedule while maintaining a high level of attention and consistency. This flexibility also means I can accommodate client needs more easily and provide dependable, attentive care for their pets. I provide a safe and trustworthy environment by prioritizing consistency, attentiveness, and clear communication. Because I work from home, pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to closely monitor their behavior, comfort, and safety at all times. My experience working with animals since childhood has taught me how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort early and respond appropriately. I also maintain a clean, organized space and follow any specific instructions from pet owners regarding routines, feeding, and training. Building trust is very important to me, so I make sure to communicate regularly with updates and ensure each pet is cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine attention.

About: Hi! My name is Eden, and I’m a passionate animal lover currently enrolled in a Veterinary Technician program. I have hands-on experience caring for 8 animals of my own, including managing daily feeding, exercise, medication, grooming, and providing lots of love and attention. Being in vet tech school has given me knowledge about animal behavior, health, safety, and recognizing when pets may need extra care. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, drop-in visits, playtime, cuddles, or extra patience, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I strive to provide dependable, compassionate care every time. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have 8 animals and I take care of them everyday. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies!!! Eden vet tech student I have a fenced yard and all of my animals love dogs.

About: I previously dog sat over the weekend with my sister using Rover. I loved the experience and am eagerly awaiting to meet new pets! I have pet sat both dogs and cats for friends over the years. Feeding them, taking them on walks, and generally socializing with them while their owner is away for work or vacation. I have free roam rabbit and have taken care of various small animals since I was young. I am always patient and gentle with animals, and love giving pets and cuddles when accepted by the animal. I recently moved back to New Orleans and currently do not have a regular job. I have completely open availability to meet pets in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I allow pets time and space to get to know me. This includes sitting the room together, speaking softly, and holding out my hand for sniffing. I am attentive to the pets boundaries and needs to provide the best care possible.

Robin did a great job and helped us to have a wonderful relaxed vacation! She is so sweet and you can see how she genuinely loves animals. She sent us cute photos of our cats so we could see their faces and knew at all times that they were doing well. She left the house clean and even washed and dried the sheets from the bed. We will absolutely book with her again and recommend you do as well!
