“Chelsy is so awesome! She kept me updated on my pup all weekend which made me comfortable leaving him with her and I knew he was well taken care of. I definitely recommend her as a sitter.”
“Kenya took care of our Milo for 9 days while we were out of the country. And she was so awesome with him. She often sent us updates and pictures in regards to Milo while we were so far away. I really appreciated that so much! We will certainly book Kenya again! I wish I could give her more than 5-stars.”
“Fallyn, Thank you so much for taking care of baby! He throughly enjoyed himself and even cried a little once we pulled off! That was a great sign. All the pictures and updates were amazing as well! You are God sent🙏🏾😊✨”
“Daisy is always happy and healthy after a stay with Lauren, Cody, and their children. She also loves their dog! We've used Lauren and Cody many times and will continue to use them.”
“I appreciate Savannah so much for watching my baby while we went away on a trip. This was my first time EVER leaving Brownie with anyone that long. We just relocated to Youngsville so I scrambled to find someone to watch her while we were gone & I couldn’t have chosen anyone better. Savannah did so good with Brownie. I wanted to make sure I chose someone that would care about her in the same manner I do. She gave lots of cuddles, play time, and personal care as she started her “period” the day we were dropping her off to Savannah. She didn’t have any issues with changing her diapers or anything. She’s awesome with communication! I received so many pics & videos while out of town, so that really put me at ease. Thank you again Savannah for loving on Brownie girl. We will book with you again for our next getaway.”
“Nicolette is an amazing sitter! I had last minute plans and she made pickup and drop off quick and easy. She even gave my dog a little goodie bag to take home and a report card. Absolutely recommend her!!”
“Carol was fantastic! She took Chief in last minute for 10 days when I left for a family vacation and my original sitter had a last minute change in schedule. She sent pictures everyday and her pup was very friendly and didn’t get jealous. I highly recommend Carol.”
“Aynavia kept me informed on Sheldon every day. She sent photos and updated me on his activity level. I felt very comfortable with her watching Sheldon while I was away on a work trip and I recommend her to anyone looking for a communicative and conscietious sitter.”
“Aja is an all-star sitter. She sent me twice daily updates and photos so I always knew that Phoebe was having fun with her pups and getting lots of loving care. Very communicative and thorough. I will definitely be working with Aja again.”
“First time using Rover and I found the app easy to search for finding a sitter. I loved Angela C for taking such good care of my fur baby! She stayed in touch and sent pictures to me every few days! She was very consciencous about making sure he got all his meds. What a relief to know he was taken such good care of and joined her own dogs. THANKS ANGELA”
“Keith was great with our 3 dogs. Communication is great. He sent us videos and pictures during our dogs' stay with him. Also, his backyard is very suitable for dogs. Highly recommend.”
“Theo absolutely LOVES Janelle, we don’t know what she has haha but he goes crazy when we get into her apt complex and is always so happy in all of the photos she sends us!:)”
“Jason was great.He kept us updated with photos, and took him for walks which he enjoys. I always felt like he was taken care of. I will definitely use him again.”
“Our dog Marley tends to be anxious in new situations since she was a shelter dog, but seemed comfortable in Amanda’s home the moment we walked in for drop off. It made me feel much better about leaving our newly adopted girl for over a week! She sent updates and pictures often while we were on vacation. Would not hesitate to use Amanda again for future dog sitting and will recommend her to my friends!”

“I booked Blayne last minute after another caregiver fell through! Blayne took excellent care of my cat, Gracie! She followed all instructions and sent cute videos and photos of her while I was away for a wedding!! Highly recommend!”
“10/10. She was flexible with a last minute booking and followed the directions I gave to a T. I was worried because not everybody is familiar with cats but she did a great job. I could also tell that she actually interacted with him instead of just sitting letting the time pass. I would book again!”

“Anika came to my house five days out of the week for a month to walk and train my puppy. He was the most well-behaved dog you’ve ever met after working with her. As a first-time dog owner, she always gave advice and helped assuage my anxieties. Timeliness/communication: A+ Thoroughness: A+ Care and concern for your pet: A+”
“Tenay checked in with our cat daily and alert us to any issues immediately. And when we were worried about a possible weather or scheduling issue she made sure the cat had enough food in case she wouldn’t be able to get back.”
“Ms. Jamryiah was very kind and patient with both me and my dog. I was initially nervous about allowing someone into my home and trusting them to care for my dog, but she did an excellent job. She communicated effectively throughout the process, and my dog truly enjoyed his time with her. I highly appreciate her professionalism and care.”
“David dropped in on our cat when we had to head out on short notice. As usual, our cat loved him, and we had no concerns while traveling! David provides us with peace of mind!!”
“Whitney has been a life saver for us! We just got a new puppy and she has been coming to let him out to potty and have some play time during the day, while we work. She has done a great job with him and our older dog. We are continuing to hire her on weekly basis. I cannot recommend her highly enough!”
About: I have loved animals ever since I was in elementary. I have had 5 Dogs, from a German Shepard to a little Yorkie Poodle mix. Currently I have 2 Guinea Pigs and 2 Leopard Geckos and a beautiful cat named karma. Family members and friends have asked me to look after their fur babies for days and entrusted them with me. I give my all when watching the fur babies and treat it as if they were mine. :) I am currently a full time college student, I am studying marine biology and plan to use that degree to go to a veterinarian School. While I may have classes in the morning and late afternoon, I have plenty of time to look after the beautiful fur babies you trust me with. When first entering an environment, it's important to take a mental note of any hazards that could be a danger to the animal. Any hazards being, loose metal wires they could chew, or foods that may be dangerous to them. Examining a new environment is also important. Always making sure to not have any allowed guests inside the customers house is very important part of great service as well, to instill that trust that the client has put in you for their furry loved one!
“Our dogs loved their play date with Kaitlyn! She was able to do a meet-and-greet on very short notice, too. Her first visit was just a visit for some playtime, but we hope to have her again soon!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Alfords
About: Pets have been apart of my life since I was born. I love animals more than anything. They have different personalities that can make you feel at ease.

Please leave clear instructions with your fur-baby so I can ensure they utmost care. I treat pets the same we way we treat our children. They will get the best care in my home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 6. And I honestly just want to stay around animals for as long as I can! I’ve trained dogs all my life, and I have loved cats since I was a little girl. Taking care of your pup will be great! Im currently playing sports for my university, so we do travel a lot, but most of the time I'm always available after 3pm everyday! And free on the weekends! I live in an animal friendly apartment, your pet will be well fed, and taken care of to the best of my abilities If anything!
“JC was great! Very organized and communicative. We loved getting all the updates throughout the day and had no doubt that our pet was being well cared for. Will definitely book again if we come to Baton Rouge again!”
“Anika clearly cares so much about dogs. Before booking my dog in for daycare, she wanted to meet with us to see if our dogs were a good fit together. I really appreciated her taking the time to do that, because my dog is extremely playful and energetic and not all dogs can handle that! Knowing about a bad previous experience I had with a sitter, I feel like she took extra care to send me updates and pictures of Kaju to put me at ease. She went above and beyond in his care- taking him for walks, letting him play with her dog in the yard, and feeding him on time. I trust her completely to care for Kaju, and I know he trusts her too because he was able to take naps at her place (something that he is not always able to do due to trust issues). Anika is an exemplary dog sitter and we will be returning regularly!”
About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, including dog sitting for friends and neighbors and owning my own dog for the past six years. As a dog owner, I understand how stressful it can be when your dog is out of sight, so I closely supervise dogs at all times and do not allow off-leash activity or interactions with unfamiliar dogs. Safety and attentive care are always my top priorities. I work remotely during the day and attend school in the evenings, so I am only away from home for a short period, about three hours. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, timely walks, and attentive care throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and one dog in my home. Dogs are always closely supervised, kept on leash outside the yard, and never allowed to interact with unfamiliar dogs. Safety, structure, and consistency are my top priorities.
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of animals extensively for 10 years. I have both personal and professional experience working with companion and exotic animals. I have experience with senior, young, adult age animals. Currently, I work part-time at a dog daycare & boarding facility. Pet Care is apart of my everyday life - I have two dogs that I come home too. Moreover, I’m available through out the week & especially on weekends. I have a fenced in yard & gates that are extremely secure. All access points in my home and surrounding all have security cameras enforced.
About: Hi! Please see note before sending a message: I work during the day from 7-4, but am provided a lunch break, during which time I always go home and take care of them. I am a dog-lover and mom, and will do whatever it takes to spend time with dogs and more dogs! I love going to the dog park to see dogs play and just simply be dogs. I have been a proud mom of an old Great Dane, and currently a 6-year old. I have also watched friends’ and family members’ dogs for a couple of days to up to a few weeks. I love having them around me. I will take wonderful care of your four, three, or even two legged animal, because all dogs deserve the best! I love walking, running, laughing and playing with dogs, so whatever your fur-baby needs, they shall have! I hope we have the opportunity to meet soon! I would love to help out you, and most importantly, your animal! I have a daytime, during the week job, but can fit in your animal’s needs around my schedule. Weekends are always wide open for me I make sure to update you with pictures during your pet’s stay, and have plenty of toys for your baby to play with. I make sure to keep doors closed and open them carefully, so they don’t escape
About: I’ve been a dog dad for 6+ years and have taken care of pets for neighbors, teachers, and friends for years, from walking and feeding to live-in care. I’m a college instructor on break between semesters so my schedule is flexible with lots of availability for all your pet care needs, whether one time walking or in home stays. I have a friendly corgi named Rufus who loves other dogs and we live in a house near the Garden District with an unfenced yard where I walk him around the neighborhood twice daily.
“My experience with Robin was exceptional. I have used another sitter through Rover before and the experience was okay, but I noticed my puppy would come home very riled up and needing to immediately decompress. It often felt like I had to calm him down and get him back to his normal baseline. With Robin, the experience was completely different. When I picked him up, he was calm, relaxed, and acting exactly like he does at home. Even during the ride back, he settled into his crate and rested. That told me he was comfortable and well cared for during his stay. I was also a little nervous about having him around other dogs since he hasn’t spent a lot of time with other puppies. Robin was incredibly patient and reassuring. She allowed me to observe and helped me feel confident that he would be just fine, and he truly was. Another thing that stood out was how much my puppy liked her right away. As soon as he got out of the car, he was excited and curious about going inside, which meant a lot to me. I’m so glad I found Robin and truly look forward to working with her again. It’s clear my puppy felt safe and comfortable in her care.”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old, and I also have a dog of my own (Millie:)) and my Shih Tzu baby Rico I’ve helped cared for back home. I give the same care , love , patience and attentiveness to every dog !

I am in college full time however I am free everyday after 1pm . (Tuesdays , Thursdays and the weekend I am free all day:)) I am also very flexible so please don’t hesitate to ask questions ! Please note that I can not host more than one dog at a time due to me being a smaller space. Your fur baby will feel very comfy here ! My girl Millie has adapted to our relaxed routine which involves her feeding and bathroom schedule along play time and cuddles . We take trips to the public dog park as well as my apartment one. We also have plenty of play time inside . The same goes for your baby!
About: Kind, nice and attentive, Your Dogs Safe Space away from Home. A special getaway for your pup who will never want to leave. Come Experience what you will never forget! I’m home throughout the day and can provide attentive, reliable care for your dog. I will walk, feed, and care for your pet according to your instructions in a safe, pet-friendly environment.

If your dog is not neutered, please let me know. Female dogs will go out separately from males for potty breaks, playtime, and feeding times. I will feed them as requested, provide water breaks, and make sure they are in a safe, caring environment.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up with pets taught me responsibility, patience, and the joy that comes from truly understanding an animal’s needs. As an adult, I’ve continued that commitment through responsible pet ownership, giving my own pets a loving, structured, and enriching home. My foundation in animal care goes even deeper thanks to my years in 4‑H, where I gained hands‑on experience in dog husbandry. From training and grooming to understanding canine behavior and proper health routines, 4‑H gave me practical skills that I still use every day. It shaped the way I approach pet care—with intention, respect, and a focus on safety and well‑being. Whether it’s daily walks, structured play, or simply offering a calm, comforting presence, I bring a lifetime of experience and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Your dog isn’t just another booking to me—they’re a member of the family, and I treat them with the same attention and affection I give my own. Working from home allows me to build pet care into the rhythm of my day in a way that feels effortless and intentional. Mornings start with a quick check‑in, fresh water, and a walk to get everyone moving. Throughout the workday, I’m able to offer consistent companionship — whether that’s a midday potty break, a play session between meetings, or simply being a calm presence while I work. I can keep an eye on their behavior, maintain feeding schedules, and respond quickly to their needs. Afternoon breaks often turn into enrichment time: a walk, a puzzle toy, or a little training practice to keep their minds engaged. Even as I wrap up my workday, pets stay part of the flow — evening walks, dinner routines, and plenty of attention. Working from home means your pet gets steady care, structure, and affection woven naturally into my day, not squeezed in around it. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs (74 lb. silver lab + 35 lb. terrier mix). My goal is to keep your pets routine consistent while providing a clean, safe and calm environment. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal rhythm. I follow your feeding, walking, and medication schedules exactly as you outline, and I make sure they get the same level of attention and affection they’re used to. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“My dog absolutely loved him. He was anxious the first day but Keith really helped him get comfortable and by the third day he was happily running inside, not sparing me a second glance. Would 100% have Keith watch my dog again.”
About: I love dogs, and have been around them since I was a baby. I’ve taken care of puppies, old dogs, big dogs, and all other kinds. Corgis are the greatest dog in the world, prove me wrong with yours. Currently in school at LSU graduating in December, and I am free to tend to your dog any time of day for you. I only have 1 class to schedule around so no issues there! Have a nice big yard completely fenced in, in a nice quiet neighborhood in the middle of BR. Welcome to kennel or let your dog roam free as needed.
“Our boys had a good time & made some new friends. We are basically just passing through the area of Baton Rouge and Jennifer met all my criterias for a sitter. She shared a video and photos as well as checking in with me on my messages. I'm gratefully she did that. It put our minds at ease while we had an adult day out without our dogs. I highly recommend Jennifer to watch your precious babies. If we are ever back in the area, we know who to contact.”
“Jason was great with Bowie! So glad we were able to find him in a pinch. Jason kept in great communication with us, and it was clear Bowie really enjoyed his stay.”
“My boy had such a good day with Courtney!! He attached to her and made him a new bestie today. Very thankful she was able to accommodate me in my last minute needs! Would definitely trust her with my baby again in the future!!”

About: I have experience with cats, reptiles, and dogs. I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs and their care, as well as skittish dogs, and normal pups.

She stayed with my pup for three days while I was out of town, and did a great job, even managing to get my "loves to nap" dog out for some long walks (which he needs). She sent photos and videos and I felt confident that he was Ok at all times.”
About: I have been the go-to professional and friend for pet care and house-sitting for many. My goal is always to give your pet and home the same care and consideration I would my own. I have had pets since I can remember. My first pet was a jet black cat resembling the color of a raven. I learned and practiced numerous pet care tactics which allowed my cat to live a very fruitful life to 20 years old. I also had a delightful Bischon with a spunky personality that was always the life of the party. I am no stranger to large size or senior age pets, but am also well acquainted with service dogs. I have experience with pigs, fishes, snails, but my most favorite of all horses! I truly enjoy engaging with furry loved ones and giving them the tender care they obviously deserves! I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give your fur baby lots of attentive care, playtime, and mental stimulation by providing activity throughout the day. I have a fenced-in yard with ample space and love to go for strolls around the neighborhood and local parks. I love to play games and engage throughout the day.
About: I’m an animal lover through and through! Hopefully one day soon, a professional pup groomer☺️ and I would love to spend time with your fur babies!! I would prefer to watch your pup(s) at my house since I do have fur babies of my own, or be able to bring my dog along with me to your house. Only if it’s safe to do so of course! Just for reference, my baby is a male, mini-dachshund. He’s 11 years old and is a timid, loving sweet boy. But if that’s not an option, that’s okay too! I also have two cats who are both loving and do well with dogs! If we’re boarding at my house, I can pickup and drop off for you as well. I work a Monday-Friday job, and am typically off by 4:30! Anytime outside of those hours will be allotted for the care of any fur babies you entrust me with(: I live in a quiet spot not far from LSU! I have a pretty big yard and safe walking areas for long walks. All I’ll need is a collar and leash (:
About: I’ve cared for many of my family members’ dogs and cats over the years, and I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. This experience has helped me become comfortable with pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and on their normal routines, and I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I would give my own. I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding, and attention. My yard is not fenced, but I live near a park and several safe walking areas. I provide regular walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention to help pets stay happy, comfortable, and active during their stay.
About: My pack of dogs range from about 30 pounds to over 150, and several of them are high-energy breeds who need serious daily exercise. Whether your dog is a couch potato, a big gentle giant, or a ball of nonstop energy, I know how to keep them happy, tired, and well cared for. Living with dogs of every size and energy level has taught me how to read body language, manage different personalities, and meet each dog's individual needs. I'm comfortable handling large and giant breeds, and I know that a dog who doesn't get enough exercise can turn into a very create (and destructive) dog. Active pups get the long walks (or runs), play sessions, and mental stimulation they need, and I plan outings around Louisiana's heat, with early mornings and evenings in the summer, so everyone stays safe and comfortable. What your pup can expect: Daily walks and vigorous playtime, tailed to your dog's energy level. Feeding and medication on your schedule. Photo and video updates so you can see the fun. A calm, dog savvy home or drop-ins. Patience, consistency, and a lot of love. I am able to tend to your pets before I go to work, during my break, and after I get off of work. I also have full availability on weekends. I care for pets in my home based on the differing needs of each pet. I previously had a dog that had diabetes and required insulin twice a day, as well as another dog I found that had severe heart worms and required daily medication, so I am comfortable giving your pets their needed medication.
About: New to the app, Expert on care! I have been providing care for animals since the dawn of time(since i was 13).

I prefer to walk pets and care for pets in their home environment or in the community. I rather have the owners suggest the activity thr pet would enjoy.

“I appreciate Savannah so much for watching my baby while we went away on a trip. This was my first time EVER leaving Brownie with anyone that long. We just relocated to Youngsville so I scrambled to find someone to watch her while we were gone & I couldn’t have chosen anyone better. Savannah did so good with Brownie. I wanted to make sure I chose someone that would care about her in the same manner I do. She gave lots of cuddles, play time, and personal care as she started her “period” the day we were dropping her off to Savannah. She didn’t have any issues with changing her diapers or anything. She’s awesome with communication! I received so many pics & videos while out of town, so that really put me at ease. Thank you again Savannah for loving on Brownie girl. We will book with you again for our next getaway.”
“Keith was great with our 3 dogs. Communication is great. He sent us videos and pictures during our dogs' stay with him. Also, his backyard is very suitable for dogs. Highly recommend.”
“Our dog Marley tends to be anxious in new situations since she was a shelter dog, but seemed comfortable in Amanda’s home the moment we walked in for drop off. It made me feel much better about leaving our newly adopted girl for over a week! She sent updates and pictures often while we were on vacation. Would not hesitate to use Amanda again for future dog sitting and will recommend her to my friends!”
“This was my first time leaving Toto at home with anyone outside of family, and Lauren immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease knowing he was in good hands. She took great care of him, and Toto took to her right away, even laying on her and relaxing. It was clear he felt safe and happy. He spent the evening playing, cuddling, and getting plenty of rubs. I’m so grateful for the care she showed him and would absolutely trust her with Toto again.”
“Julie was FANTASTIC!!! She was extremely communicative before and during the sitting, and was very generous and flexible with respect to dropoff and pickup times. We instantly felt at ease when we met Julie, and we were confident our pup would be in the most excellent and caring hands! It is evident that Julie loves dogs and is a natural with them. Our dog warmed up to her immediately! We especially appreciated the picture and video updates- it helped us so much while we were away missing our dog! We will absolutely use Julie again in the future and will recommend her to others we know!”
“She was very patient with my cat. He is usually very friendly, but he was understandably a little frightened having been put into a new environment with a stranger. She kept open communication with me the whole time I was out of town and actively tried to become friends with him. By the end of my trip he was his usual self and being friendly with her. I would definitely let Oliver stay with Olivia again.”
“Tracy was absolutely amazing with Rocky. She was so sweet and caring from the very beginning. She kept me updated the entire time, sending pictures and letting me know how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rocky came back home calm, happy, and not nervous at all, that says everything. I’m truly grateful for how well she took care of him. Highly recommend her and would definitely trust her again with Rocky”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 13, from pet sitting for neighbors, friends and family to working professionally in dog daycare and boarding facilities. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m comfortable giving medications, following prescription diets and special feeding instructions, and I also have experience giving insulin injections to diabetic dogs. My professional experience has also included bathing, daycare/boarding care and transporting pets. I have three dogs of my own, including my 11-year-old husky mix and two young dachshunds, so I’m very comfortable with everything from puppy energy to senior care. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and other pet care during weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, whether that means early potty breaks, meal times, medications or just some extra playtime and attention. I treat every pet like I would want someone to treat my own. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, potty schedules and each pet’s individual routine. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs and dogs with special care needs. I’m also very mindful of doors, gates, leashes and surroundings because I know how quickly a curious dog can decide it’s time for an adventure! I’m happy to follow whatever routine and safety rules you have in place in your home.
“Emery was wonderful, communicated a ton, took upon herself to brush her daily and take her to get her nails trimmed. So helpful and so kind and accommodating!! Highly recommend and we will be back!”
“We went on vacation for 4 days and we left our fur babies with Jena. She sent us an update and pictures daily. Anytime we checked in on them she was very primped to respond. I am vey satisfied with with her and will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you Jena for taking care of our fur babies.”
“Bradley graciously accepted a short notice booking for our dog Ghost. He was very communicative and responsive leading up to and throughout the boarding stay. Bradley’s dog Beaux is very sweet, gentle & got along well with Ghost. We 100% recommend Bradley for boarding.”
About: I am a design student at LSU. Beyond my 7 years of experience in pet care, I grew up with and took care of 4 dogs, 2 cats, fish, and a lizard (his name is peanut). I love keeping owners involved, so you can expect photos, updates, and little moments from your pet's day while you're away. I know how stressful it can feel leaving your pet with someone new. My goal is to give you peace of mind by treating your pet like they're part of my own family. I am currently a full time student at LSU. However, I have a flexible schedule so I will be able to work around that commitment. After years of caring for pets, l've learned that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs and I take the time to make sure each pet feels understood. You can expect clear communication, timely updates, and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you're away.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs through my previous work assisting a sitter on Rover. During that time, I helped with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure each dog felt safe and comfortable in their environment. I worked with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which taught me how to adjust my care to meet each animal's unique needs. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attention are when it comes to animals. Whether it's an energetic pup that needs extra playtime or a more relaxed dog that just wants companionship, I make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I'm also comfortable following specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special care requests. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being at all times. As a college student with a very flexible schedule, I'm able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. My availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays without feeling rushed. Because of this flexibility, I can adjust to your pet's routine and make sure they get consistent care, attention, and companionship whenever they need it. 1 understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always prioritize safety by staying attentive, following instructions carefully, and making sure pets are secure and comfortable in their environment. You can count on me to provide dependable, respectful care while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve.
“Jennifer was truly a blessing. She agreed to take Wesley at the very last minute, and I honestly can’t express how much that meant to me. From the moment I met her, I felt a sense of calm. She was warm, attentive, and clearly comfortable caring for larger dogs. Wesley is a 100 lb Weimaraner, and leaving him isn’t something I take lightly. Jennifer made it easy. She kept me updated and treated him with patience and kindness. When I picked him up, he was relaxed and well cared for, which told me everything I needed to know. I’m sincerely grateful for her flexibility and the care she showed my big baby. I would absolutely trust her with him again.”
About: I grew up with a Yorkie and now care for him in his senior years with doggy dementia, which has taught me the importance of patience, gentle routines, and creating a calm, comforting environment. Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays I get out of class for 11 and am free for the rest of the day. Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little tougher for me due to my classes being scattered throughout the day. I enjoy taking them on walks, giving them baths, playing with them, cuddling with them, feeding and taking them out, and just having an emotional support animal around me!
