“I appreciated that Sawsan was willing to board our Welsh Corgi during the 2024 Christmas - New Year holidays. She is very experienced in caring for dogs and is straightforward about her house rules. Sawsan's residence is conveniently located in old Mandeville which makes dog walking pleasant. Additionally, she kept us updated daily and quickly responded to any message that I sent her. We love our small Welsh Corgi but unfortunately, he doesn't get many opportunities to interact a lot with other dogs. So while he was boarded, he got a chance to play with two or three other dogs in Sawsan's large clean backyard. He had such a good time playing with the other dogs, that it became a small burden for Sawsan to make him less tranquil at times. Sawsan was professional about this matter by not informing me immediately until we picked up our dog to avoid me stressing out while we were out of town. Thank you Sawsan. Nonetheless, I am grateful that Sawsan opened her doors for our dog and I highly recommend her to anyone wishing to use her services for sitting or boarding.”
“We have been using rover for years now and we must say, Thank You so much for taking care of our Baby. You are the best. He has come back home, trimmed, bathed fed and loved. From the photos that were sent to when he came back home, We can tell he was having a great retreat. Bobbi is awesome ? and will definitely use her services again in the near future. Thanks again for being so great with my difficult baby..”
“Tyler has been my favorite sitter so far! I moved and wish I could still have him watch my pup. He was always so accommodating and attentive, sending pictures and video. He even bought River a Christmas toy. If you havent booked Tyler, you should!”
“She was great with Penny! Friendly and understanding, she took care of Penny as if it was her own pup! She checked in with me and sent pictures of Penny. It was such a relief to have Penny in a calm place while I was on vacation I will absolutely use her again!”
“Anna has been absolutely amazing very flexible with pick up and drop of times! Sent tons of pictures of my pup and he looks like he’s having a blast! Will definitely use her again for any future trips!!”
“Holly was absolutely fantastic. I felt incredibly comfortable leaving my pup with her. This was the first time I used Rover and the first time my dog had been away from home for any extended period of time. Holly was extremely professional and kept me updated every day on how she was doing. I will definitely be using Holly again.”
“My 2 poodles had a stay for the weekend, I was nervous since this was their first stay but Rachel assured me everything will be fine and it definitely was! One of my dogs got a small injury when dropping off and she was quick to jump into action and take care of it!! She kept me updated with daily pictures throughout their stay. My babies have a new best friend with Raven and can’t wait to go back!! I highly recommend her and her services & will be using her for future stays!!”
“Kristen was amazing! We felt we could trust her right away after our meet & greet, and plenty of much-appreciated updates and pictures made us feel Zag was in great hands the whole time we were gone. Was always responsive both leading up to the booking as well as during. It's a stressful situation using Rover for the first time and leaving our beloved pup in a stranger's hands, but we couldn't ask for a safer and happier home to provide for our dog in our absence..”
“Lauren is GREAT! Very loving and patient with an older dog who has not been boarded overnight very often. Easily socializes new dog into her rescue animals and works well as a pack leader. Gives tons of love to all animals in her care. Would be top on the list if needed boarding service again! Thank you Loren (and Sidney)!”
“Regan was very accommodating and so sweet to our dog! She was excellent at keeping us informed on how he was doing, and he loved playing with friends during his stay, and having a home full of dog lovers! Will be using again!!”
About: I’ve always believed pets have a lot to say—you just have to know how to listen! 🐾 I’m great with puppies and can help with potty training, routines, and all those adorable (and sometimes mischievous!) puppy moments. I’m also really good at reading pet body language and picking up on subtle signs of stress, anxiety, or resource guarding, which helps me keep everyone happy, comfortable, and safe. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets too, including giving oral medications, topical treatments. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a couch-loving senior, or somewhere in between, I’ll give them plenty of love, patience, attention, and belly rubs along the way! ❤️🐶 I’m an early riser and a stay-at-home mom, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. 🐾 I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, and plenty of cuddles. I love starting my mornings with the pups and making sure they get the care, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. My schedule also allows me to be flexible with drop-ins and accommodate your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. ❤️🐶🐱 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! 🐾 I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and cuddles. For in-home visits, I respect your home and your pet’s routine—following feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I’m also attentive to body language and behavior, so I can recognize when a pet is nervous, stressed, or needs a little extra space. My goal is simple: you should feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱
About: If your pup is ready to fetch a ball, go for a walk or lounge around and watch tv, I’ll be ready to accommodate any needs. I prefer to care for fewer pets (one or two) per day and also while boarding, that way, I can give more individual attention to your pup. I have a 6 year old Golden Retriever named Charlie who would love to show your pup around our large fenced in yard that offers a safe and fun place to play and explore.
“Marisa did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs whole I was away. She gave me updates and even sent pictures of them to me when I missed them. Will definitely use her whenever I go out of town again!!!”
“Brittany was wonderful with my dog! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt confident she was in great hands. Brittany kept in touch with updates and photos, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious she received lots of love and attention during her stay. Brittany was kind, reliable, and treated my dog like family. I’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Lindsay is an amazing sitter! Sampson was with her for 4 nights! She sent pictures every day! It felt so refreshing knowing that he was treated so well and loved! We will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Karen gave us daily updates with photos. I felt comfortable going away knowing that Roux was in good hands with Karen. It was our 2nd time using Karen for in home boarding.”

“Tegan is amazing! I was gone for 11 days on and off due to work this month and Tegan was able to cover all the days! I know this made my cat feel much more comfortable seeing a consistent person to check in and play with her. I don’t even know if my Pepper even noticed I was gone since she was having too much fun playing with Tegan :)”
“Alyssa was very communicative with us and our cat loved her! She was on time with feedings and medications. She is clearly very responsible and good with animals. Would hire again!”
“Kayla on short notice agreed to look after my 2 large girls after a short meet & greet. She wanted to genuinely make sure her care was good fit. Prior to watching the dogs she asked a lot of good questions which pointed to her experience and thoughtfulness. Both of my girls enjoyed time with her and Kayla delivered as promised. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a "dog lover" looking after their babies!”
About: I've grown up with many types of pets throughout my entire life. I love animals and have been a volunteer at Northshore Humane Society since 2020, where I have experience walking, playing with, cleaning after, and even assisting in veterinary care with dogs. I especially love teaching new tricks and playing with them. I also have experience with reptiles and cats. I currently have a 9-year-old border collie and take him on walks and play with him for hours every day. He's a very active dog and I enjoy being active with him, as well as grooming him and interacting with him through any and all means. I love all dogs, but my favorite breed is the doberman! I also have a black cat named Breezepelt (named after my favorite book character), and a mexican black kingsnake named Asclepius! How I care for your pet depends on the specific needs and wants of the pet and what you as the owner would like. If I am house sitting, I am willing to play with, take outside, and walk with your pet as much as is desired. I have both leads and retractable leashes if you would like me to use my own. I am comfortable with crating if so desired. I will be keeping a constant eye on your pet and will ensure their safety to the upmost degree.
“Jennifer kept in communication the whole time I was away. This was my first time using Rover so of course I was nervous but after first meeting I felt so comfortable. She really took care of my babies & they absolutely loved her!”
About: I’ve worked at a homeless animal shelter for 10 years and owned my own animals my whole life. I’ve handled every kind of animal under the sun! And can’t wait to love your pet like they are my own!
“Gabrielle was very professional. She was on time for all of her appointments and took care of everything I asked her to do. I highly recommend her and will be utilizing her servicescagain.”
“Thank you for taking care of our cats while we went on vacation. We appreciated it very much and loved getting pictures of out cats daily and texts about how they were doing.”
About: I have had a variety of pets my entire life that I have aided in caring for including both dogs and cats, I currently have two dogs that I assist my family in feeding, walking, caring for, and loving! I’m also a volunteer with Northshore Humane Society. I bring a wealth of patience to every pet I meet and am passionate about getting to know you and your furry friends so I can provide the best care possible and grow as someone in pet care! I am a recent college graduate and am not currently working another job, leaving me plenty of free time. My schedule is flexible and I am always willing to work with you to find times or days that are best. I can easily accommodate your pet’s needs from within your home, meeting whatever requirements you may have and diligently following any rules, scheduling, etc that your pet may need! Safety is also a priority for me and I have reliable emergency contacts should anything ever be needed.
About: I grew up on a farm, had lots of dogs, cats, and all sorts of other animals to care for. As an adult, I’ve had quite a few cats, and I’m the current owner of three small dogs. I am currently working from home. Travel once a month. So I have plenty of time to check on the babies, play with them outside, and give them occasional treats. I have a fenced in yard that is designed for small dogs, a large dog would likely jump over. But it works great for the small dogs, plenty of shade, plenty of grass. And in the house, I have an abundance of pet beds, and blankies.

“I cannot begin to say enough wonderful things about Sawsan. My family was visiting mandeville with our golden pup and did not want her left alone at our Airbnb while we went out exploring. Sawsan took Nala for daycare and she had an absolute blast! Sawsan is absolutely delightful and took amazing care of our girl. I highly recommend leaving your babies with her, you will not be disappointed!”
“I was nervous to leave my quirky dogs with a stranger, but Tyler quickly put my pets and me at ease. He took the dogs on a walk early on, to make them feel at home. He has a large, secure backyard, that the dogs loved. He let the pets be part of his day and provided good feedback about the pups. Thanks Tyler!”
“Victoria was very sweet and responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her for the day. Thank you for all of the updates! They helped us remain at ease :) Thank you again for keeping Quinn safe and letting her run around in your backyard!”

“Amber was truly the best person to leave my sweet puppy with for the day! She kept me updated through text with pictures and videos throughout his entire stay, she invited me in when we arrived to give me the assurance of knowing where he would be for the day. Her home was very clean, tidy, and she was inviting to make me more comfortable. My anxiety about leaving him for the day was immediately relieved. Do not hesitate to let her care for your pets!!”
About: I work from home during summer months. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including feeding, walking, basic care routines, and ensuring their safety and comfort. I am comfortable with: * Small, medium, and large dogs * Feeding routines and medication reminders * Leash walking and basic behavior management * Maintaining clean and safe environments And providing photo updates throughout your stay! I am fully available throughout the summer and have flexible daytime and evening hours. I am home most of the day, so I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care as needed. I can also adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine. One dog lives in my home and I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine closely and ensure a calm, supervised, and secure environment.
About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals. I’ve cared for my families dogs as a child, and my own dogs when I got older with the addition of my daughters dog. I’ve always had a mutual connection with them and cared for them like my own children. I’m all about enriching the lives of pets and their families by providing excellent pet care, peace of mind, trust and security. Nurturing the inseparable bond between a person and their 'furbaby' by enriching their relationship with love. I have a pretty open availability schedule and will try to accommodate your requests to the best of my ability depending on timing and distance. I currently do not have any dogs at my house, so they can enjoy all my attention and playtime. I also have a nice backyard that they can play and run around in. When doing a dog service at the pets home I like to get familiar with them so they can feel comfortable and be their usual sweet selves!
About: I have a standard size golden doodle and he is so affectionate so i know how it feels to leave your dog somewhere but here my goal is to provide the best at home care for your doodle/poodle. I have had a lot of trouble finding a suitable place for him because he doesn't love to be in the crate, he needs love all the time and want to be involved in everything as a family so if your dog is similar, i am the perfect match. i work from home and i dont believe in ever leaving my dog alone at home so basically i am always home to take care of your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and a standard size happy golden doodle to give company to your doodle/poodle. We have a free roaming environment at home with lots of backyard fetch and other games but can-do crate if you need. i dont like the idea of leaving my dog in the boarding day cares available because my dog doesnt feel comfortable and i dont either so i give a free home like environment with the air conditioned always running and me always availble at home. Hypoallergenic and friendly dogs only.
About: I have always had a pet since I was a child. We currently own dogs, cats and fish. I love helping care for other's animals. I am currently able to help whenever needed. I have a pretty open schedule to help care for your pet or pets. I am a pet lover! I prefer caring for pet in clients home. I believe safety is key and want pets and self to be safe. Once meeting a client I will assess environment and any safety concerns or questions.
About: I’ve had my family dog, Princess, a Pomeranian-Papillon mix, since I was four years old. I was the one who named her, and she’s been my best friend ever since. I’ve cared for her through every stage of her life, from a playful puppy to now as a senior dog, so I understand that pets have different needs as they get older. Senior pets have a special place in my heart, and I’m always happy to give them the extra patience and love they deserve. As a college student, I’m home during school breaks, which means I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to dedicate to your pet. I’m also available during holiday breaks! During the academic year, though, I’ll be inactive while I’m away at college, so I only accept bookings when I’m home. I usually only take one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so they’ll get lots of one-on-one care and won’t have to compete for attention. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, and I ask that owners provide their pet’s food, medications (if needed), favorite toys, and any other essentials. If I’m caring for a cat, I’ll also need their litter box, litter, and other supplies. Communication is really important to me. I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates, and if you’re missing your pet, I’m even happy to FaceTime so you can check in. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart. As a college student, I’m home during school breaks, which means I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to dedicate to your pet. I’m also available during holiday breaks! During the academic year, though, I’ll be inactive while I’m away at college, so I only accept bookings when I’m home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I share my home with my senior dog, Princess. She’s older, independent, and usually keeps to herself, but I’ll always make thoughtful introductions and make sure everyone is comfortable. I only accept one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so I can give them my full attention and closely monitor their interactions. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I’ll always make sure water is fresh, the environment is clean, and your pet feels safe and comfortable. If I ever notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away so you can have peace of mind.

I’ve had animals of all kinds since the day I was born and have experience caring for everything from dogs and cats to livestock and exotic animals. I attended Louisiana Tech University in Ruston from 2022–2026, where I majored in Animal Science with a concentration in Pre-Veterinary Medicine. While at Louisiana Tech, I served as President of the Pre-Vet Club and worked as the club’s publicist. I also worked as a barn hand while in college and grew up working at a horse barn. Before moving to Ruston, I spent a year working as a veterinary assistant at a veterinary clinic. Pet sitting has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for neighbors, friends, family, and clients in Ruston. I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I recently moved back to my hometown of Mandeville, LA, and now have plenty of time and flexibility for pet sitting. I’m excited to meet new clients and, most importantly, make some new (furry, scaly, feathery, or hoofed) friends along the way! Since moving back home to Mandeville, I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I am currently taking a break from school, so I am able to work pet sitting and walks into my daily routine without having to rush between other commitments. I’m able to give each pet plenty of attention and can adjust my schedule around their individual routines, including feeding times, walks, medications, and other special care needs. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pets are doing while you’re away! I’m happy to help with almost all of your pet-sitting needs, whether that means a walk around the neighborhood, a quick check-in, or spending more time with your pet while you’re away. Your pet’s health, safety, and comfort will always be my top priority. With my background in Animal Science, experience working as a veterinary assistant, and years of caring for animals, I am prepared to recognize and respond appropriately to many common situations that may arise. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable and confident when someone else is caring for your pets. I will always be easy to reach while caring for your pet and am happy to answer questions, provide updates, or address any concerns you may have. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I have years of experience working with animals. I have volunteered in shelters and have been pet sitting for years. I can take care of many types of animals, no matter if they’re furry or scaly! Training, medicine (no injections) or extensive playtime are all acceptable! My schedule is flexible. I have open availability and can work around tough schedules. If you have any questions about my schedule, just ask me! I will treat your pets with the utmost love and respect. I will follow any rules or schedules you have to the letter. Lots of cuddles and playtime will be given freely unless it is not you or your pets wishes! I have a lot of patience and can deal with anxious/aggressive animals. Pet sitting is my main focus right now. I keep my schedule flexible so I can do what’s best for you and your pet’s needs! I always ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible. I want them to feel safe and secure while I am in their home. I will give as much attention or space as needed.
“Bobbi was very friendly. She was very punctual. My dogs came back from their walks so happy. Now they are getting ready for a nap. I am extremely happy with Bobbi. I will definitely ask her to come again.”
About: I have been around many different kinds of animals. Family and friends have always been able to rely on me to take care of the animals with my who heart and soul. I work full time now from 8-5 M-F. Weekends I’m available and work close to home. I’m apart of the army national guard so some weekends I will not be available. Within my clients home their animals will be given the best belly rubs and pets I can give. I will do everything with the best of my ability.
About: I love every animal and will work with old and young. Cats, dogs, bathing, cleaning, taking them for walks or just some hugs and snuggles I am a paraprofessional at an Elementary school full time. I am available after 3:30 pm. Weekends I am available all day and early evening I have a fenced back yard. You have to be mindful of their excitement and wanting to run out and play. Have to make sure you watch them for safety
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them goes beyond just “watching dogs” for me! I spent nearly a year working at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, as well as energy levels-from playful 4 month old puppies to sweet senior dogs who just need a little extra patience and care. I grew up around dachshunds and dobermans my whole life, and I now have my own Dalmatian that I rescued from illegal breeding. I understand both high-energy breeds and animals with unique personalities. My experience in pet sitting, dog behavior, proper socialization, and enrichment allows me to provide care that is attentive, structured, and tailored to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, mental stimulation, or simply a calm and restful environment, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for and loved while you are away. As a college student out for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Aside from a job commitment one weekend a month, my availability is open for almost anything-walks, drop-ins, and daycare! Your pets comfort and safety are always my #1 priority. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming home where your dog can feel right at home. I make sure they have both companionship and personal space when needed. I have a room in my home with a tall baby gate dedicated for dogs where they can decompress, and nothing will bother them if they want their own space. I also have a very playful and friendly Dalmatian, Siggy, who loves having company around the house. I will always supervise if Siggy would be around your dog, including a safe and proper introduction of the two dogs and continuously watching them when they would be playing.
About: I have been raising and caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. From birthing puppies to senior dog care. Who doesn’t love a furry friend! I am a teacher who is off for summer break and would love to fill my summer free time helping your special furry family members! I am currently living in an apartment living so I understand the need for dog walks. I will visit and provide lots of love and attention.
About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.
About: I grew up on a farm, had lots of dogs, cats, and all sorts of other animals to care for. As an adult, I’ve had quite a few cats, and I’m the current owner of three small dogs. I am currently working from home. Travel once a month. So I have plenty of time to check on the babies, play with them outside, and give them occasional treats. I have a fenced in yard that is designed for small dogs, a large dog would likely jump over. But it works great for the small dogs, plenty of shade, plenty of grass. And in the house, I have an abundance of pet beds, and blankies.

“I appreciated that Sawsan was willing to board our Welsh Corgi during the 2024 Christmas - New Year holidays. She is very experienced in caring for dogs and is straightforward about her house rules. Sawsan's residence is conveniently located in old Mandeville which makes dog walking pleasant. Additionally, she kept us updated daily and quickly responded to any message that I sent her. We love our small Welsh Corgi but unfortunately, he doesn't get many opportunities to interact a lot with other dogs. So while he was boarded, he got a chance to play with two or three other dogs in Sawsan's large clean backyard. He had such a good time playing with the other dogs, that it became a small burden for Sawsan to make him less tranquil at times. Sawsan was professional about this matter by not informing me immediately until we picked up our dog to avoid me stressing out while we were out of town. Thank you Sawsan. Nonetheless, I am grateful that Sawsan opened her doors for our dog and I highly recommend her to anyone wishing to use her services for sitting or boarding.”
“We have been using rover for years now and we must say, Thank You so much for taking care of our Baby. You are the best. He has come back home, trimmed, bathed fed and loved. From the photos that were sent to when he came back home, We can tell he was having a great retreat. Bobbi is awesome ? and will definitely use her services again in the near future. Thanks again for being so great with my difficult baby..”
“Tyler has been my favorite sitter so far! I moved and wish I could still have him watch my pup. He was always so accommodating and attentive, sending pictures and video. He even bought River a Christmas toy. If you havent booked Tyler, you should!”
“She was great with Penny! Friendly and understanding, she took care of Penny as if it was her own pup! She checked in with me and sent pictures of Penny. It was such a relief to have Penny in a calm place while I was on vacation I will absolutely use her again!”
“Anna has been absolutely amazing very flexible with pick up and drop of times! Sent tons of pictures of my pup and he looks like he’s having a blast! Will definitely use her again for any future trips!!”
“Holly was absolutely fantastic. I felt incredibly comfortable leaving my pup with her. This was the first time I used Rover and the first time my dog had been away from home for any extended period of time. Holly was extremely professional and kept me updated every day on how she was doing. I will definitely be using Holly again.”
“My 2 poodles had a stay for the weekend, I was nervous since this was their first stay but Rachel assured me everything will be fine and it definitely was! One of my dogs got a small injury when dropping off and she was quick to jump into action and take care of it!! She kept me updated with daily pictures throughout their stay. My babies have a new best friend with Raven and can’t wait to go back!! I highly recommend her and her services & will be using her for future stays!!”
“Kristen was amazing! We felt we could trust her right away after our meet & greet, and plenty of much-appreciated updates and pictures made us feel Zag was in great hands the whole time we were gone. Was always responsive both leading up to the booking as well as during. It's a stressful situation using Rover for the first time and leaving our beloved pup in a stranger's hands, but we couldn't ask for a safer and happier home to provide for our dog in our absence..”
“Lauren is GREAT! Very loving and patient with an older dog who has not been boarded overnight very often. Easily socializes new dog into her rescue animals and works well as a pack leader. Gives tons of love to all animals in her care. Would be top on the list if needed boarding service again! Thank you Loren (and Sidney)!”
“Regan was very accommodating and so sweet to our dog! She was excellent at keeping us informed on how he was doing, and he loved playing with friends during his stay, and having a home full of dog lovers! Will be using again!!”
About: I’ve always believed pets have a lot to say—you just have to know how to listen! 🐾 I’m great with puppies and can help with potty training, routines, and all those adorable (and sometimes mischievous!) puppy moments. I’m also really good at reading pet body language and picking up on subtle signs of stress, anxiety, or resource guarding, which helps me keep everyone happy, comfortable, and safe. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets too, including giving oral medications, topical treatments. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a couch-loving senior, or somewhere in between, I’ll give them plenty of love, patience, attention, and belly rubs along the way! ❤️🐶 I’m an early riser and a stay-at-home mom, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. 🐾 I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, and plenty of cuddles. I love starting my mornings with the pups and making sure they get the care, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. My schedule also allows me to be flexible with drop-ins and accommodate your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. ❤️🐶🐱 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! 🐾 I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and cuddles. For in-home visits, I respect your home and your pet’s routine—following feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I’m also attentive to body language and behavior, so I can recognize when a pet is nervous, stressed, or needs a little extra space. My goal is simple: you should feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱
About: If your pup is ready to fetch a ball, go for a walk or lounge around and watch tv, I’ll be ready to accommodate any needs. I prefer to care for fewer pets (one or two) per day and also while boarding, that way, I can give more individual attention to your pup. I have a 6 year old Golden Retriever named Charlie who would love to show your pup around our large fenced in yard that offers a safe and fun place to play and explore.
“Marisa did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs whole I was away. She gave me updates and even sent pictures of them to me when I missed them. Will definitely use her whenever I go out of town again!!!”
“Brittany was wonderful with my dog! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt confident she was in great hands. Brittany kept in touch with updates and photos, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious she received lots of love and attention during her stay. Brittany was kind, reliable, and treated my dog like family. I’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Lindsay is an amazing sitter! Sampson was with her for 4 nights! She sent pictures every day! It felt so refreshing knowing that he was treated so well and loved! We will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“Karen gave us daily updates with photos. I felt comfortable going away knowing that Roux was in good hands with Karen. It was our 2nd time using Karen for in home boarding.”
