About: I have 20+ years in caring for someone elses loved ones. Growing up, I have always had a dog family member and I absolutely love animals. I’ve never had a day without a pet in my life. I have a spacious fenced in yard, that your pet can run and play. I am home all hours of the day and nigh and can honor any needs your pet requires. Your best friend is my best friend in this house! I am home all day! I am able to follow all routines your pet may have. We can play fetch or snuggle, whichever your furry friend needs! Although I do require a 24 hour request to prepare for sitting. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fenced in yard, with plenty of room to play or couches they can lounge on. Whichever they prefer, I have both!

I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well loved throughout his stay. I would absolutely book with Tiana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!”

“This was he first time I used Rover. I was in town for a family event and very happy to have found Kirsten. As far as I'm concerned she set the standard for what I will be looking for when I use Rover in the future. I can sum up my feelings by what she said to me. "I treat guest doggies the way I want someone to take care of my own". She sent photos and text messages to let let me know all was well. I may never get back to Covington but if I did I would definitely book with Kirsten.”

“This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little wary about letting a stranger into my house. But Mason’s personality was very reassuring from the start. He was prompt for our meet-and-greet before I booked him, and he was awesome and friendly. Mason was kind, communicative, and took great care of my cats while I was away. He sent updates and pictures, and I appreciated how much attention he gave them. My normally shy cats even came out to see him, which says a lot. I’d absolutely book Mason again.”

About: I’ve always loved caring for animals, and cats are no exception! I have experience caring for cats through pet sitting for family, friends, and neighbors, as well as caring for them in a kennel setting. I understand that every cat has their own personality and comfort level, and I’m happy to give them the space and patience they need while still making sure they get plenty of attention and love. I can help with feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, and keeping your cat’s normal routine while you’re away. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and caring for pets with additional needs. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers to do their own thing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for!
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!
About: I've been taking care of kittens and cats since I was a child. A kitten was my first pet! I've helped deliver 3 litters, have raised and bottle fed many kittens, rehomed stray pregnant cats ,and the most felines that I've cared for at a time in one household is 7. I lived with them for months and they became (and still are ) my extended family. I look forward to meeting yours!
About: I’m a patient, caring animal lover with a background in positive reinforcement training. Animals have always been a big part of my life—I’ve worked at both the zoo and the Louisiana Nature Center as an educator and animal caretaker, where I helped with training and husbandry for a variety of animal ambassadors. At home, I have quite the animal crew: 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bird, snakes, lizards, tortoises, hedgehogs, a rabbit, and even some invertebrates! Caring for such a wide range of animals has given me experience with all kinds of temperaments, routines, and special needs. I’m also a mom of three older children who sometimes enjoy helping me with pet-sitting duties. Together, we provide lots of love and attention to the pets we care for. To ensure the best fit, I require a meet & greet a few days before your booking. This gives us a chance to get to know each other, talk through your pet’s routine, and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly, or feathered!) family members! Being self-employed means I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine, providing reliable care and keeping their happiness and well-being my top priority. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while respecting their familiar environment. :)

“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!!”
“Sheldon had a happy time with Lindsey and her pet family. It was easy to schedule, she sent several photos and updates, and would definitely recommend her and schedule with her again. Thanks Lindsey!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 15, and it’s truly second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, administering meds, or just being a comforting presence, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My experience includes overnight stays, and extended care while pet parents are away. I understand that every animal has its own routine and personality, and I make it a priority to adapt to their needs so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care is an easy fit in my daily routine because it’s something I genuinely love doing. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs. I plan my days around the animals I care for, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Because I’m organized and communicative, you can count on timely updates and consistent care while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and routine become a part of mine while they’re in my care!

About: I love animals and have had pets since I was a little girl! I have a mini golden doodle and a border collie mix now. They are my best friends. I’d love to meet and hang out with your pets and love on them like their my own!🐶 I work 2-3 days a week. But only for 5-6 hours a day. I can be free from work if needed to watch your pet! I have a fenced in yard and have a back yard to let your dogs run free. I have plenty of toys to play with and lots of love to give! I also have a walking trail close by that I take my dogs on regularly. I have a doggy door that your dogs can go in and out as well.
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.

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.

“Sawsan has been a wonderful caregiver for our puppy, Rooney. It is obvious that he has a wonderful time each day, as we get lots of pictures and videos of him playing. He always comes home exhausted from having so much fun, and is always excited when he arrives in the morning. She also works with him on training, and we have seen tons of improvement since he’s started going. Sawsan is so caring, and really treats our puppy as one of her own.”
“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!”
“Sandy was amazing! She sent us pictures from each day. She gave us regular updates. I would highly recommend Sandy with any dog. We have a large dog (a lab) and she was wonderful with her! We will use her 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: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was old enough to remember! Grew up on a farm tending to dogs, cats, horses, and goats! So my experience isn’t lacking! I would love for this to be my full time job! I have a current job but would love for this to become a full time thing! I will care for them exactly how there owners would if not try to exceed those expectations! I look at each pet as a family member! I am currently doing this full time so my schedule is fully open to the needs of your fur babies! I absolutely love animals so this is a dream come true! I am now able to do in home boarding services and welcome your babies with full arms! I would love to love your babies as my own!
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 been caring for animals my whole life, starting from rescuing strays as a kid. I have years of hands on experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including my own senior pup who was named Cici. She needed medication around the clock and caring for her taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to follow a strict care routine. I’m comfortable giving meds, understanding special needs, and making sure pets feel loved, safe, and understood. A year after Cici passed, I adopted a dog named Betty who taught me how to love again. I didn’t realize that it was possible to have more than one soul dogs. Unfortunately, she passed away from heartworms 3 months after I adopted her (she already previously had heartworms from the place I adopted her from and was on medicine). So after that, yeah I’m not doing that again haha. My heart can’t take it. However, I would love to hang out with your fur babies and give them some extra loving and hopefully mend my broken heart. I promise I’ll treat them how I would’ve treated Cici and Betty!!!! The pain of losing them was so great only because the love I had for them was even greater. And I have an abundance of love to give! I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! Every day will be a party and I’d love to have some company! In my home, pets will have a safe, clean and comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime and plenty of snuggles. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I will make sure they get regular leashed walks, potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time. I will stick to their usual feeding schedule, keep fresh water available at all times and follow any medication or special care routines exactly.

Outside of the veterinary world, I'm an ICU nurse in adult health. I like to read and play video games, and hope I can be of some help!

Im open to discussion for weekdays, or mornings on my way home from work. I dont have pets of my own, as I live in an apartment with little space to run around and play. But, I've administered medications to dogs, can do some light grooming, short walks, etc. Snuggles and kisses come free of charge!

At home, I have quite the animal crew: 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bird, snakes, lizards, tortoises, hedgehogs, a rabbit, and even some invertebrates! Caring for such a wide range of animals has given me experience with all kinds of temperaments, routines, and special needs. I’m also a mom of three older children who sometimes enjoy helping me with pet-sitting duties. Together, we provide lots of love and attention to the pets we care for. To ensure the best fit, I require a meet & greet a few days before your booking. This gives us a chance to get to know each other, talk through your pet’s routine, and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly, or feathered!) family members! Being self-employed means I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine, providing reliable care and keeping their happiness and well-being my top priority. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while respecting their familiar environment. :)
About: I’ve fostered dogs from when I was about 8 until I was about 17, I then adopted my own dog. I’ve pet sat for family, friends and neighbors over the years, and used to work part time at a bording kennel. I have some experience with post surgery care, along with administrating oral medicine. I have experience with lots of different breeds (especially larger breeds) and personality’s. I also have some experience with cats, and have a bird of my own. I also have a little experience with reptiles, and i’m am open to learning anything new. I currently have a part time job, so I have lots of free time. I’m available most hours of most days, just need about a days notice. At this point and time I can’t normally pet sit in my home, as I am currently living with my parents. Sometimes we can take a male dog, my dog gets along with all male dogs, and only females with slow and proper introduction. You can always reach out and I can talk to my parents. Dog must also be kid friendly, as we have my one year old son in the home as well 😊
About: I’ve been fostering animals, mainly cats, since I was 12. My family would work with local shelters to take in abandoned kittens as young as a day old and raise them and help find them good homes. Because of this, my neighbors often sought me out to watch their pets when out of town. I work full-time Monday-Thursday from 6-4:30. I am available after work and any time Friday-Sunday. If booked I will always make extra time to play with your pet! I currently do not have any pets in my apartment, so yours would get all my attention and space. For dogs, my community has a dog park along with plenty of sidewalks for walks. For cats, I have some precious toys and supplies from past fosters!
“I own a very quirky dog who was badly abused in the past. She does not take kindly to strangers. Evelyn was patient and kind, and eventually won Lily's trust. She treated both of my dogs as if they were her own. I can't think of enough good things to say about her. If you love your pooches and want them to have the very best care, don't hesitate for a moment......contact Evelyn. (Plus she has 2 of the cutest kids you've ever met!)”
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.
About: With a lifetime of pet care experience, I treat every animal like family. Trust your pets with someone who loves them as much as you do! As a part-time substitute teacher, I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to easily fit in pet care and provide your pets with dedicated attention and love. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I create a secure, loving environment, ensuring trust and peace of mind while your pets are in my care.

“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!”
“Adele was super sweet and so flexible with us! My baby was so happy and comfortable with her. She was incredibly kind, calm, and caring, and she even made her the sweetest little care package. It was such a thoughtful touch! I felt completely at ease leaving her with Adele and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Karen was the BEST. She even let my Two “Boys” sleep in bed with her. Thank you Karen!!!! It meant so much to me to see the pictures and know they were being spoiled rotten….which is what they are used to. 😂”
“Bobbi is a wonderful young lady and she and her mother took great care of my senior dog. She is knowledgable about separation anxiety and made sure to keep my old baby calm. She texted me daily with a photo and updates. This greatly helped my separation anxiety.😊 I would recommend Bobbi to anyone that needs to board their dog.”
“Regan was amazing! She sent pictures throughout Oliver’s stay. He came home tired so I know he had plenty of fun! I highly recommend Regan and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“What a GREAT Lady. Sandy knows dogs and she definitely knows how to handle them. We will be back for sure just amazing place she has. Thank you for everything Sandy.”
“This was he first time I used Rover. I was in town for a family event and very happy to have found Kirsten. As far as I'm concerned she set the standard for what I will be looking for when I use Rover in the future. I can sum up my feelings by what she said to me. "I treat guest doggies the way I want someone to take care of my own". She sent photos and text messages to let let me know all was well. I may never get back to Covington but if I did I would definitely book with Kirsten.”
“Courtney took great care of my pup for 5 days. She gave her walks and sent me lots of pictures throughout Layla’s stay. My pup came home in great spirits. I will be using Courtney again.”
“Lauren and her wife were fantastic! My pet looked so happy in every picture they send me, and when I picked her up, she was not stressed at all! They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and I am very thankful for how they treated my pup! If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and sweet to take care of your fur baby, stop and book Lauren, you won’t regret it!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Cierra was awesome - very quick to respond to the request for booking, even though it was very "last minute". She was very friendly and professional and obviously took very good care of our dog while we were away. Cierra kept us updated frequently on our dog throughout the weekend with texts and photos. She was also very flexible with the scheduling. Overall, we HIGHLY recommend Cierra D. and will be calling on her again in the future!!”
“Iryna is fantastic. I could tell immediately that she and her family love animals. Her pup was super sweet when we arrived, so that was a bonus. This was our first time booking with Iryna, which I can find a little stressful. I had nothing to worry about bc she put me at ease immediately. She had great communication throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with plenty of pictures. She noticed a wound on our pup that we weren’t aware of, cleaned and treated it, and let us know right away. We also had a last minute medication request for a separate issue, and she was incredibly accommodating without hesitation. It was clear that she cared for our guy like he was her own. We would absolutely book with Iryna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter. - Diana (and Roy)”
“She's great! She helped socialize my boy with the other doggos staying there and gave him a bath and a nail trim before he came home! He's tuckered out from a great little vacation.”
“Tyler took extra special care of our dogs Louie and Rizzo. He was very attentive and was great at communicating the whole time they were with him. We will definitely be booking with Tyler again.”
