“Tressa was absolutely amazing and super sweet! We will definitely use her for anytime we need a dog sitter! She gave lots of updates and pictures and even gave our dog Jasper a bath!!”
“Charlene and her family made sure Ember felt right at home! She loved it and she was well entertained including playtime and walks. I would definitely book with them again!”
“tammy is an absolute angel! our senior dog has never been boarded before ever and we were so worried about leaving her for a week with someone who she doesn’t know. she had a hard time getting adjusted as she is very high anxiety but tammy was so understanding and flexible for us. we wouldn’t have been able to travel if it wasn’t for her. she sent us SO many pictures & updates that washed all our worries away. we will 100% be coming back to her when we travel again. you can definitely trust her with your pups! thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️”
“So great! First time boarding my dog so I was nervous, but Jaxx was in great hands. She sent me photos and updates while I was gone. My dog got along great with her pup and they got to play in a fenced in yard and everything! Would take him back there if I went on another trip for sure.”
“This was the first time I left my 2 boys with Ashtin and I would come back to her for taking care of my puppies every time. My boys were so well taken care of. Ashtin is very responsive and accommodating. She sends tons of pictures and updates throughout the day. We came back to very happy and content puppies. They were loved throughout their stay at Ashtin’s house and I can tell that they found a second home there.”
“Renee was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog, Lilo, while I was out of the country getting married. From the moment we met, she was welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Lilo in her care. Throughout the stay, Renee was incredibly accommodating and kept me updated with pictures and messages almost every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from every update that Lilo was happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of attention and care. This was easily the best sitter experience I have ever had through Rover. I would highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“This was our first time to use Rover and our first time to leave our “baby” for any length of time. We couldn’t have chosen a better sitter. Bonnie was so flexible and easy to work with and obliged us by sending us pictures often. He always looked happy and well loved! Thank you Bonnie! We won’t hesitate to use her again!”
“Larry was great! Our dog Buck is on a raw food diet which was no issue for Larry. He sent us regular updates with pictures, and communicated very well throughout our 10 day vacation. He made us feel very comfortable from the time of dropping Buck off to the time of pickup. Will be asking Larry to watch our dogs in the future. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t thank Asia enough for the amazing care she gave my dog. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Rambo can be a bit much at first, but Asia went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and at home. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, showing Rambo relaxing, playing, and getting lots of love. It was clear he wasn’t just being watched—he was being cared for like family. She even noticed his food was getting low and made sure he was still fed, and took the extra time to keep up with his routine. When I picked Rambo up, he was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. It honestly felt like he had been on a mini vacation of his own. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again with her family—they are reliable, and very kind. Highly recommend 10/10!”
“I was so happy to meet Joe and his girl Ace. Ginger seem at home. What was an even bigger relief was that Newt wasn't in hiding. We received a picture of Newt and Ace very casually in each other presence. Thank you Joe for taking care of our babies.”
“Stephanie and family treated our babies as their own. Every time we got a picture, they looked very comfortable and loved. Would definitely take them back.”
“Rachael and Scott were great about keeping me updated on my pups during their stay! They had no issue taking care of two large dogs. They made me feel very comfortable leaving my dogs with them after taking a tour of their boarding space and chatting with them”
“Marci is great! I’m a travel nurse and I got stuck at work a snowstorm. Marci was super accommodating and my pups were well cared for while I was away. Thanks!”
“Salma was great with my Doberman girl. She will be Birdies new best friend and I hope to use her whenever i need a sitter for a day or week. Thank you Salma for loving my girl and making her 5 days of fun and adventures. DR”
“Scout was great! Very interactive with sending photos while we were away on our trip and our pup Layla got some much needed adventure while on the farm with Scout and her family too!”
“We are so thankful to have found this great family to dogsit our dog! They have kids and pets of their own and made sure that everyone was safe and friendly with each other. They sent us pictures often and kept us updated on how our dog was doing. Great experience with Wes and his family!”
“Gail was excellent! The love she has for animals is so vibrant and she took great care of my Baxter. She kept me updated as needed and made him feel right at home. I would most definitely recommend if you want someone that will treat them like their own!”
“Amber was very easy to work with. And she took great care of our dog, Alistair. She sent pictures throughout the weekend showing us how he was doing. We would definitely use her again.”

About: I have had all size dogs since I was 12. I love that they love you unconditionally. I enjoy walking my dogs, and I can't help but laugh when they get the zoomies. I always try to be patient when they are unsure or need to take medicine. I work full time, but I am available in the evenings and weekends. I am available to come to your house to take of your animals needs. Your animal can also come my house for the weekend if needed. Please schedule in advance. I prefer to do a meet and greet, since I also have two rambunctious kids. I have two small sociable dogs that are both fixed. They stay in the kennel when I am at work, but when my husband has a break he will let them out. I have a large backyard that that is fenced in, and my neighborhood has sidewalks to walk dogs. My household is also high energy, but also love snuggle time and belly rubs.
“Ashleigh took amazing care of my cat, Roxy! She always made sure I was updated and took the cutest pics of Roxy. Roxy had a few special things she needed done like getting wet food and medicine orally and Ashleigh did it all. I felt at ease leaving Roxy in Ashleigh’s care.”
“Having Becky drop in was a game changer for our kitties. They were much happier when we returned home after having dedicated attention and playtime every day. She also took great care of our chickens! We will definitely be rebooting if we decide to go out of town again.”
About: I take care of different pets in my day to day life as well as in my past. I currently work at an animal hospital and have experience with animals And given medications and treatments . I currently work and have a flexible schedule most weeks. I do have the option to change my schedule if needed based on what you need me to do. I am a clean person who can follow rules and directions very well. I will take care your pet or pets as if they were my own.
About: I have had animals all my life. I have two dogs, both rescues and both have had medical problems that I have cared for. I have house sit for my mothers cat Fred, and for a family friends dogs Remmie and Demmie. I will treat your animal like a member of my family. My main concern for your pet is to make sure they are comfortable and not in harms way. I enjoy spending time with my dogs outside on runs. We jog or roller skate daily. Maintaining my dogs hydration and heat temperament is priority number one now that the weather is getting warmer. People forget that when animals exercise, they do it with a fur coat on. I spray my dogs down with cool water if we are going to be doing any strenuous exercise in the summer. I hope to complete schooling to be a certified trainer soon. I am in between jobs at the moment so I have no commitments to an employer. I have experience with temperamental animals. I have had a rescue that was so sweet but when he played at the dog park, sometimes he would play too rough. I made sure that he stayed leashed to me for safety reasons. My first priority with your pet is safety. I would rather be safe than sorry, even if I over do it. If you trust me with the care of your pet, you can be assured they are in the safe and loving hands.
“Patty was wonderful with our Murphy. Communication with her was easy setting up sitting services and she continued to communicate with us while we were gone. We were thrilled to know that while we were away Patty was taking care of Murphy. She treated him as if he was her own. Not only did she take care of his basic needs she played his favorite game of Fetch, till her arm almost fell off! We would definitely recommend Patty to anyone needing a sitter and will be using her again in the future.”
“Aaliyah was so great! She kept us in the loop, had great communication, and provided lots of updates and photos! I definitely would recommend her to care for your fur babies”
“Jessica was a diligent, loving sitter with a talent for snapping action shots of my kitties at play. She was careful to ensure special diets were observed and both kitties got equal attention/exercise, even though Keet is much whinier than Sonny. I enjoyed lots of pictures while I was away and I felt at ease k owing they were in loving care. She was flexible, communicative, and such a kind person. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Mrs Tressa was definitely the best option for my girls. She is super friendly and receptive to care instructions, and her dogs are super sweet. She kept me updated during my pets entire stay and was flexible when i needed her most. Definitely will work with her again and highly recommend!”
“Lacy is truly amazing!! She is our go to regular sitter for our cat, and we always are extremely pleased with her and how well she cares for our baby, but this most recent time she truly went above and beyond for us. We got stranded in our travels because of the snow storm and she not only was able to stay with her for extra days, but the hvac unit also went out and our house lost heat! The temps dropped dangerously low and she helped us to troubleshoot the system for HOURS! Unfortunately the problem had to do with something outside our control and we needed to find an HVAC technician who could solve it. She stayed with our cat despite the cold and helped the hvac technician gain access to the house, answering questions as they arose, and worked with him until everything was fixed! She also made sure to drop the faucets and do everything she could to keep the house warm. She not only cared for our cat but she also saved our house from freezing pipes! We could not be more thankful for her and the amazing person she is!! People like her are rare and choosing her to care for your pets is truly a blessing! Thank you so much, Lacy!!”
“Shannon is WONDERFUL!! From the very first drop in, she relieved all of my fears about using the service for the first time and sent me such wonderful pictures of my babies. She kept my cats happy and feeling loved. I definitely recommend her, and will be requesting her services in the future!! :)”
About: Hi! I’m Alena, a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes, ages, and health needs. I grew up with a sweet, high-energy beagle and now care for two amazing senior dogs—a 14-year-old chihuahua and a 9-year-old Dutch shepherd with neurological issues. Both are blind, so I understand how to create a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets who need a little extra support. Whether your dog is a playful puppy or a slow-moving senior, I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they are. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making dogs feel safe, seen, and loved. I’d be honored to care for your fur baby like they’re my own! Pet care is woven into my daily routine—I’m a full-time pet parent! Caring for my two senior dogs is a big part of my day, and I’ve built a lifestyle around making sure their needs are met with love and consistency. From morning feedings and potty breaks to medication, gentle walks, and cozy cuddle time, I’m used to being attentive and flexible. Because I’m home the majority of the time, I can give your pet consistent care and companionship throughout the day, just like I do for my own. When I’m caring for pets during walks or drop-in visits, my focus is always on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved—just like I do with my own dogs. For walks, I pay close attention to the dog’s pace, energy level, and surroundings, making sure they get exercise without feeling overwhelmed—especially for seniors or dogs with special needs. I always use secure leashes and harnesses and steer clear of busy areas unless your dog enjoys them. During drop-ins, I follow your routine closely—whether that means feeding, giving meds, potty breaks, playtime, or just hanging out and keeping them company. I send photo updates so you can see how your pet is doing and know they’re in good hands. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.
About: I bring real hands-on experience to every pet I care for — not just love, but knowledge: 6 years caring for cats — from playful kittens to senior cats who need medication and gentle routines. I understand body language, behavioral changes, dietary needs, and creating a calm, cozy environment. 5 years with bearded dragons — including proper temperature/humidity care, fresh salads, tank cleaning, supplements, and handling. I’m very comfortable with reptiles and their day-to-day needs. Comfortable with multiple pets, feeding schedules, and custom routines. I’ve also worked with pets needing medication, vet check-ins, and anxiety support — I always follow instructions carefully! Your pet will be treated like family and cared for with experience, patience, and daily check-ins 💛 Pet care is built right into my daily schedule — it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I plan around. Every morning starts with feeding, fresh water, and check-ins with my own pets, so I’m already in “pet parent mode” before the day begins. Here’s how I structure my routine: Morning: Feeding, potty breaks, or tank checks for my bearded dragons. I review the schedule for the day and confirm visits/walks. Midday: Drop-in visits, walks, medication if needed, and enrichment/playtime. Evening: Final check-ins, dinner feeding, and overnight care if scheduled. Flexible scheduling – I adjust my day depending on each pet’s routine so they receive care when they’re used to it, not just when it’s convenient. Since I already care for my own animals daily, adding your pet into my schedule feels natural. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own routine and keep communication open with updates, photos, and check-ins — no pet ever feels forgotten or rushed. 🚗 When I Care for Pets in Their Home: I follow your routine exactly — food times, treats, walks, meds, etc. I maintain your pet’s comfort & stability by keeping everything familiar Potty breaks / litter box cleaning Playtime and enrichment activities Fresh water at every visit Can administer medication if needed Clean-up included — no mess left behind Check-ins after each visit so you know how they’re doing --- 🐶 No Matter Where They Are — They’re Treated Like Family I provide love, patience, and care as if they were my own animals. Every visit or stay includes: Photo/video updates Routine check-ins Respect for boundaries & personalities Calm energy for anxious or rescue pets Safety first — always
“Amber is great! She was extremely responsive and helpful when we left town and needed someone to watch our cat. She is very friendly and easy to get along with, and she was wonderful with our cat, sending great pictures and often staying longer than she was required to. I will definitely call her again!”

I have cared for dogs all of my life and even lived on a farm for a large part of my life where I provided top notch care for dogs, horses, and cows/calves.

About: I've been a pet owner for 16 years, and I will treat your pup as I would my own - with lots of cuddles, treats and playtime.. I am patient and am able to work with your dog to make him or her feel comfortable. I love to work with seniors. I have had two geriatric dogs in the past and am familiar with the care for these more fragile pups. I work from home most days, but I am limited on time to drop-in. I can drop in before 8, at lunch, and/or after work to accommodate your needs. Ability to drop in before 5 are dependent on locations close to where I live. For boarding or drop-in visits to my home: I have a fully enclosed privacy fence and spacious back yard. I can crate as you wish - I have crates medium and large dogs, and you are welcome to bring your own kennel or beds. For Pet/housesitting services: The goal with pet care at a client's home is to maintain routine and consistency to ease any anxiety or confusion pets may feel without their fur-parents. Outside and play time are absolutes.

“Upon arriving the neighborhood was so nice.,, Then meeting her she was so welcoming her house was clean and smelled fresh you wouldn’t know she had dogs unless she told you: I am so happy my baby enjoyed her stay and she will return. ❤️”
“Gail was very accommodating and little 12-lb Sheldon had a great time, no problem getting along with her great Dane. Highly recommend! If she noticed we were in the wrong time zone she never mentioned it, all my stated times were an hour off! (Sorry Gail!)”
About: Hi, I’m Angie, a lifelong dog lover and proud “dog mom” to seniors, rescues, and big personalities. Animals have always been part of our family life (so much so that my daughter is now at LSU Veterinary School!). I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments for years, from energetic multi-dog households to seniors, rescues, and special-needs pups. I have experience with medication administration, post-surgery rehab, blindness, seizures, and senior care. I'm comfortable following detailed routines, giving medications when needed, and adapting to each dog’s age, personality, and comfort level. I’ve helped friends and neighbors with walks, drop-ins, and overnights for years, and I’ve also been on the client side of Rover, so I truly understand the anxiety that can come with leaving your pets behind. My goal is simple: your pet feels safe and loved, and you feel completely at ease. I’m naturally curious about animal behavior, training, nutrition, and preventative care. I’ve volunteered in shelter programs (including TNR assistance) and enjoy continuing to learn more about how to support animals at every stage of life. Whether your pet needs play and adventure, a steady routine, or gentle senior support, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop-in visits and walks throughout the day, including mornings, midday, and evenings. I do have a weekend morning commitment, but I’m available before and after and will always make sure your pet’s needs are met. I care for pets in their own home where they are most comfortable and maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m attentive to behavior, safety, and details, and will always follow your instructions carefully. I provide updates so you feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
About: I took care of animals ever since I was a kid and I have owned my own since I was 18. I've always had a big heart for animals. I believe they should be treated just as any other family member. My husband and I only work part-time so we will be able to love on them and spend time with your animals throughout the day and night. I have a fenced-in backyard and a two and a half year old great dane that loves meeting new friends. Also have two children that love animals. I am able to crate if needed but we allow our dogs to roam freely in the home and on furniture if you allow.
About: I’ve been to vet tech school, worked at a local clinic, owned animals my entire life and will love others animals like my very own. I am stay at home mom who would love to come by one, two or three times a day to check on your fur babies and make sure they have food, water, clean litter and a place to sleep. I may even bring special treats myself to share. I love and cuddle on my babies all day, everyday. Our pups even sleep with us at night. Cats and dogs all get along well in our home due to being raised together.

“I cannot say enough great things about Ms. Rhonda. She has a huge heart and has more than enough love to give to your dog. She was a huge help with my pup! My pup had so much fun! I highly recommend Ms. Rhonda!”
“Super friendly and very active with my dog. He was tired and slept all night after every day with Caitlyn. She also was super helpful and agreed to take him on very short notice, which was huge for me. Will definitely book again”
About: Everyone In my life has had a pet except for me. However, I just gravitate towards animals because thats what my heart allows. Ive dog-sitted for many people: my sister, my neighbor's, my grandmother and my god mother. I love playing with them, walking with them and the most fun part is feeding them. I do soon hope to become a pet owner. I feel like this would be a great job for me and even a great business venture If I can execute it. I am ambitious and always looking for new goals to accomplish. I am 22 years old and have dreams of becoming an entrepreneur someday. I believe this is a great place to start. I would do this fulltime and be 100 percent committed.

I’ve had pets ( dogs & cats) for as long as I can remember and they have always been a part of my family and they really become a family member.

I would love to take care of your precious little pups! I’m pretty flexible and relaxed so I can definitely negotiate with anything you or your pet might need. I am currently a stay at home mom and full time student so I am home pretty much all day. I am available to board/dog sit any day of the week.

About: I have been around animals my entire life! I’ve been trusted by friends, family, and neighbors to care for their pets! I have great experience with puppies but I’m open to learning more about the care of elder pets. I also have experience with multiple breeds, big and small, and understand that each pet requires a different approach. I have a Pomeranian-Dachshund mix named Blue and he is practically my child!! I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet with someone new and how important it is to trust that person. If you give me the opportunity to care for your fur-baby, I promise to become that trusted friend! I am currently a student so I have a very flexible schedule. I am always available in the afternoons and on the weekends to care for your pet! If you have any questions about my availability please message me! Depending on your pet and their needs, my care for them can differ. For example, a puppy with lots of energy and little training, I would include lots of play and (if asked) some basic training. If I am caring for an older pet who prefers calm visits, I will relax with them and take the visit slow. Each pet is unique and I will care for them accordingly. The owner’s comfort always comes first so if you have special instructions, that is always a priority.
“Thomas does a great job caring for my pup. Lots of photos/videos to keep me updated. Always ensured there was food, water. My pup was always greeted with head taps and ear scratches keeping him happy. Thanks Thomas!”
About: I’ve had a soft spot for animals ever since I was a kid, and that passion has led me to care for a wide variety of creatures throughout my life. From raising rabbits, birds (parakeets, peacocks, turkeys, and more), and reptiles (bearded dragons, leopard geckos, ball pythons) to working on a farm since 2020, I’ve gained hands-on experience with animals of all shapes and sizes. Whether it’s dogs, cats, livestock, or exotic pets, I take pride in understanding their unique needs and providing compassionate care. Your pets are in loving, experienced hands with me. I have a flexible schedule and work from home. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or check-ins, I can easily adjust my routine to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. While boarding your animal in my home your pet will be with me the entire time. I refuse to leave animals unattended for any reason as being in a new environment can be kind of scary. I have a fully fenced in yard and keep my home clean so there are no choking or chewing hazards. Please feel free to reach out with any questions you may have.

About: I have been taking care of dogs, or any animal for that matter, since I was a little! Every dog I have ever met has always loved me as much as I love them!

I thought that taking good care of animals would be the best way to spend my time. I would love to help others with their animals in my spare time. Because I am currently living in an apartment i'm unable to sit in my own home, but would love to take care of dogs in their own space!

About: Pet Care Experience: Hello! I have worked in Veterinary Medicine as a receptionist for 3 years. I love animals of all kind, and adore caring for them. I am a military spouse with access to LRAFB, and am very hard working and trust worthy. I currently have 2 dogs, a blue heeler named Daisy and a corgi named Yoshi. They are both 8 years old and they are my life. I am available all day M-F, and most weekends. Looking forward to seeing you and caring for your fur baby! - Christy I have open availability to care for your pets whenever you need. I have access to LRAFB, and would love to met you to learn about your pets. Safety, Trust & Environment: As a drop in sitter I will be happy to come visit your pet at your home.

About: I have had animals all my life. I have two dogs, both rescues and both have had medical problems that I have cared for. I have house sit for my mothers cat Fred, and for a family friends dogs Remmie and Demmie. I will treat your animal like a member of my family. My main concern for your pet is to make sure they are comfortable and not in harms way. I enjoy spending time with my dogs outside on runs. We jog or roller skate daily. Maintaining my dogs hydration and heat temperament is priority number one now that the weather is getting warmer. People forget that when animals exercise, they do it with a fur coat on. I spray my dogs down with cool water if we are going to be doing any strenuous exercise in the summer. I hope to complete schooling to be a certified trainer soon. I am in between jobs at the moment so I have no commitments to an employer. I have experience with temperamental animals. I have had a rescue that was so sweet but when he played at the dog park, sometimes he would play too rough. I made sure that he stayed leashed to me for safety reasons. My first priority with your pet is safety. I would rather be safe than sorry, even if I over do it. If you trust me with the care of your pet, you can be assured they are in the safe and loving hands.

“Charlene and her family made sure Ember felt right at home! She loved it and she was well entertained including playtime and walks. I would definitely book with them again!”
“So great! First time boarding my dog so I was nervous, but Jaxx was in great hands. She sent me photos and updates while I was gone. My dog got along great with her pup and they got to play in a fenced in yard and everything! Would take him back there if I went on another trip for sure.”
“This was the first time I left my 2 boys with Ashtin and I would come back to her for taking care of my puppies every time. My boys were so well taken care of. Ashtin is very responsive and accommodating. She sends tons of pictures and updates throughout the day. We came back to very happy and content puppies. They were loved throughout their stay at Ashtin’s house and I can tell that they found a second home there.”
“Renee was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog, Lilo, while I was out of the country getting married. From the moment we met, she was welcoming, professional, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving Lilo in her care. Throughout the stay, Renee was incredibly accommodating and kept me updated with pictures and messages almost every day, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from every update that Lilo was happy, comfortable, and receiving lots of attention and care. This was easily the best sitter experience I have ever had through Rover. I would highly recommend Renee to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“This was our first time to use Rover and our first time to leave our “baby” for any length of time. We couldn’t have chosen a better sitter. Bonnie was so flexible and easy to work with and obliged us by sending us pictures often. He always looked happy and well loved! Thank you Bonnie! We won’t hesitate to use her again!”
“Larry was great! Our dog Buck is on a raw food diet which was no issue for Larry. He sent us regular updates with pictures, and communicated very well throughout our 10 day vacation. He made us feel very comfortable from the time of dropping Buck off to the time of pickup. Will be asking Larry to watch our dogs in the future. Highly recommend!”
“I can’t thank Asia enough for the amazing care she gave my dog. From the moment I dropped him off, I felt completely at ease. Rambo can be a bit much at first, but Asia went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and at home. She kept me updated with daily photos and messages, showing Rambo relaxing, playing, and getting lots of love. It was clear he wasn’t just being watched—he was being cared for like family. She even noticed his food was getting low and made sure he was still fed, and took the extra time to keep up with his routine. When I picked Rambo up, he was calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. It honestly felt like he had been on a mini vacation of his own. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with him again with her family—they are reliable, and very kind. Highly recommend 10/10!”
“I was so happy to meet Joe and his girl Ace. Ginger seem at home. What was an even bigger relief was that Newt wasn't in hiding. We received a picture of Newt and Ace very casually in each other presence. Thank you Joe for taking care of our babies.”
