“Elise was very professional yet warm and kind. I think our lab may have not wanted to come back home. I will definitely recommend Elise to anyone looking to get their best friend back in better condition than they were left. Will use here again in the future if she is available.”
“Savannah is the best. She really takes great care of my dog. She’s everything to me. My dog’s always so happy when she comes home and that means a lot to me I couldn’t ask for a better sitter or someone to leave my dog with when I’m away, she is by far the best in my eyes”
“Lauren and Cody were wonderful with Reggie! He was probably not ready to come home! Plenty of updates and pictures were provided. We felt confident that our sweet boy was in good hands! We would definitely use Lauren and Cody again.”
“Communicates well, his experience and knowledge helped me worry less about leaving Lumi for the first time. I received check-ins/update with how Lumi was adjusting. Lumi will definitely be boarding with Keith again.”
“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.”
“Fallyn was great ! Sent detailed updates and pics of my pup daily. My drop off and pick time changed and she was able to accommodate me . Very friendly and professional . 10/10 def recommend.”
About: I have worked as a vet assistant at an animal hospital for 3.5 years with plans to apply to the LSU vet school. I have also owned and cared for animals my whole life, including farm experience. I am currently working part time, so I don’t have many weekly hours. I also live with my fiancée who is part time as well in a two bedroom townhouse. I have an unfenced yard with plenty of grass and walking area. I have 2 very friendly medium sized dogs to keep your dogs company. I have a large kennel if needed. I am also very active and can run and walk long distance for active dogs.
“Mark was fantastic! I was in town visiting family that are afraid of dogs. Mark watched Cloud and provided pics of walks, which my pup enjoyed greatly. Knowing Mark will care for Cloud will make it so much easier for me to visit family in the future.”
“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.”
“Marqita was Amazing! This was the second time my fur baby stayed with her. She sent daily pics or videos of my old fella playing with her dogs or just resting. I was so at ease knowing that he was enjoying himself and resting well. She also administered daily meds. I really appreciated that!”
“Nicolette kept my baby Zeus for an extended period of time (nearly 3 weeks) while I dealt with a family emergency out of state. I had not a care or worry in the world while he was there, knowing that he was in excellent care. She and her family love on him like he is their own. Highly recommend!”
“By far the best pet sitter I have ever had! Would recommend to any and everyone. Beetlejuice didn’t want to leave. Wonderful family and pups got along with him so well!”
“Highly recommend Jason. He was easy to work with and took great care of our older dog who can be challenging. Will definitely use Jason again for our pet sitting needs.”
“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!:)”

Prices are estimates per visit. Pricing may vary based on your search. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
About: I have over a year of experience in animal daycare and/or kennel settings, and can quickly assess a pet's body language and accomodate for discomfort or unique needs. I have a part time job Monday through Wednesday, but I can make myself available with enough planning ahead, and usually have afternoons and evenings free. I need at least two day's notice for weekends. I follow client's intructions to the letter when caring for pets at their home. When needed (e.g. for brachycephalic dogs) I will ask for a safe harness or collar option to avoid restricted breathing.
“Lauren is responsible, knowledgeable in her field and conscientious. Its obvious she loves cats, which in my book, is number one when choosing a ‘sitter’. She communicated well with me and sent photos of my fur babies while we were away. I definitely recommend Lauren and would use her services again.”
“Yuli was beyond amazing! Communicative, reliable, and super friendly. She let me know about any concerns going on at home as well as sent pictures and updates abt my baby. Couldn’t recommend more!!! Book her!”
“Savannah is a wonderful cat care taker! She clearly has a deep love for animals. She is professional and took such good care of our cats. They were very happy and comfortable when we returned, and I really appreciated the photos she sent.”
“Kaylee was awesome and sweet! She checked in on our babies and kept us updated with photos and messages! She even got our shy boy to open up with her. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Lyndsi was a wonderful pet and house sitter. She shared photos or a video of the pets each day while we were away along with text updates on how things were going. We were very comfortable that our pets were safe and sound while we were away for a few days. We highly recommend booking Lyndsi.”
“Krislyn was phenomenal! My two cats can be a bit particular and Krislyn was patient and beyond helpful in their care despite their dramatics. I will undoubtedly book with Krislyn again!”
“Delayed review because I thought I left one but I didn’t! Sorry🫶🏽 Hannah was incredible, she was able to step in last minute for me and take care of Ozzie. Ozzie loved her and I know he would love for her to drop in again if I need it. Hannah was so kind and communicated well! 10/10 recommend will definitely book again in the future!”
“Michelle took care of my two cats recently, she was highly communicative and did a great job! We loved reading her updates and looking at the cute pics she took! ? Thank you so much!! ??⬛”
About: The black furred beauty in the pic is Asha. I love all animals but cats especially. I understand their needs are a bit more soft spoken than their dog peers. My own cat keeps me on my toes and because of that, patience has been learned to be earned!
About: My friends and family have trusted me with drop-ins visits for years. Every cat is special and I love them all like my own. I’ve never met a cat that I couldn’t pet. Even skittish ones can sense my heart; we call it my superpower. I am a freelance court reporter. I primarily work from home. I make my own schedule and can fit in daily drop-ins where they’re needed. I have two cats, Doug (15) and Noodle (7). Noodle loves long walks in his stroller. He is half Siamese and all talk! Doug is a cool cat that is very skittish. We are always considerate of his fear of loud noises and take pleasure in maintaining a peaceful home for him to feel safe in. Justice for skittish cats! Doug has arthritis and requires injections by me and liquid meds weekly/daily, respectively. Cat health is important to me. Both of my cats are very fluffy. We vacuum and ChomChom our furniture often. I’ve always got a lint roller on me. My cats are very spoiled, as they should be. I scoop the litter daily and schedule feed them morning and night. My experience with cat sitting is primarily drop-ins. I am open to discussing a more hands-on routine if that’s what your cat requires. I have keys to many colleagues homes. They text me when they go on trips and I happily scoot on over to care for the cats. I’ve been doing this for years and just decided to see if it was worth offering as a service in my neighborhood. As an owner who feeds twice a day, I am happy to go twice or just once a day if your cat is a grazer. My cats leave trails of litter all around the box area, so just tell me where your broom is and I’ll take care of cleaning your floor, too! I have a camera in my home and would understand you having one as well. If you want pictures of your cats while away, you don’t have to ask twice because I’ve probably already taken some. Cats are complex creatures, and as an owner who has a complicated one herself, I’m all ears to hear your cats likes/dislikes, quirky needs, and any other “silly requests”.
About: I've been caring for the cats of my family, friends, and professors my entire life; and especially once they see the passion I have for providing the amount of attention and care to kitties that they deserve. I've cared for senior cats, kittens, blind cats, deaf cats, cats who are new to being socialized, feral cats, shy cats, and have loved each and every one.
“Alicia was great! She took wonderful care of my two cats and sent me plenty of pictures. She also took the time to meet beforehand so that we both felt comfortable, which I really appreciated. Alicia was kind and professional and I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve fallen in love with ALL animals since I was a kid. Since then i’ve watched all sizes and breeds of dogs with all sorts of different personalities and has loved every single moment of it! I am currently unemployed and looking to start into the pet care business. I can sit and board at all times and any days as needed. If allowed I would absolutely love to take them to a local dog park to socialize with more dogs. I also have one friendly kitten and one senior pup!
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.
“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!”
About: I’ve had and loved dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs (and a cat). My girl is a perfect playmate to all, and my guy is a senior who’s living his best life laying on the couch. I (and my fiancè) have taken in dogs/cats off the street, fostered, and rescued/adopted, so I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and demeanors. I’m a teacher who will be off all summer, so I can be with your pet as much as needed! I’d love to provide some stand-in TLC to your pet while they eagerly await your return :) I have a large backyard, plenty of toys, and a lot of love to give to your pet! I’m a middle school teacher who’s currently off for spring break and will be off for the whole summer, so I’m freely available to meet you and your pet’s needs. I can accommodate early mornings, mid-day check-ins, late nights; whatever you need! I have a spacious house with a large fenced yard. I have two dogs, one of which will lay around 24/7, while the other is sweet, playful, energetic and always looking for friends to play with! If needed, I can kennel your pet or give them the spare room if they need a quiet place to relax alone. If caring for your pet in your house, you can be assured that I will be thorough in providing them with some TLC while you’re away! I love learning about the little quirks that pets can have and will be attentive and detailed in my care for them to make sure they always feel at ease.
“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: Hi! 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 cared for a wide range of animals—dogs, cats, fish, chickens, rabbits, turtles, ducks, and hamsters. With years of experience, I understand and respond to each pet's unique needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I'm excited to treat your pets with the same care as my own. I'm flexible with pet care on weekdays and weekends, fitting it into my hybrid work schedule. While September and February are busier due to work travel, my current availability is up to date. Let’s connect and see if I’m a good match for your pet care needs! When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize their routines and comfort. I follow your specific instructions to ensure your pet feels safe and secure. My goal is to make the experience stress-free for both your pet and you. To build trust and ensure safety, I request a brief discussion about your pet's needs and routines. If possible, I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet, but I'm happy to provide services even if that's not an option.
About: ✨✨ Independently Insured & Licensed ✨✨ 20 Years of Professional & Experienced Pet Care and House Sitting Services Specializing in Senior, Special Needs, and Multi-Pet Care with a Background in Veterinary Clinic Care & Animal Rescue (Fear Free Certification In Progress!) 🐶🐱🐰🐷🐔🐢🐠🐍🦎🐹 My name is Anna, and although I’m new to the Rover platform, I have professional experience working in vet clinics, rescues, and shelters, and I have more than 20 years of pet sitting and house sitting experience! I’ve dedicated my life to animals and have cared for countless animals of all kinds - dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, pigs, chickens, fish, snakes, lizards, turtles, and other exotics! After college, I gained even more professional experience beginning as a Kennel Technician before becoming a Veterinary Technician, Veterinary Surgical Technician, and eventually the Clinic Manager. After I left private veterinary practice to pursue a career in animal rescue, I served as the Manager of a successful nonprofit dog rescue. In this role, I coordinated with shelters, fosters, and adopters all while caring for 30 dogs per day and serving the public in order to rehome over 500 dogs per year. As part of my daily duties, I also arranged their veterinary care and monitored their recovery and overall wellbeing. When my own senior dogs required more care and medical attention, I pivoted to remote work with an in-home veterinary hospice service. In this role, I received emergency assessment training for many species in order to help pet parents ascertain if their pet needed emergency medical assistance. This afforded me the opportunity to hone my instincts about what constitutes an emergency, what to do in an emergency, and, more importantly, how to prevent emergencies. Throughout my career, I have remained dedicated to pets and animal welfare. I am always seeking out opportunities for continuing education, such as attending the Humane Society’s annual animal welfare conference or completing an apprenticeship at Austin Pets Alive!, or binge-watching animal training tutorials. In my personal life, I’ve had dogs, cats, reptiles and amphibians as pets ever since I was a child. As an adult, I was privileged to adopt a special needs dog named Fizzgig, who introduced me to the rewarding experience of caring for seniors. He changed my life and my heart forever, not to mention my career path. Since Fizz, I’ve had the privilege of caring for two other senior / special needs rescue dogs of my own, as well as fostering numerous seniors and special needs dogs. Though Fizzgig and my other senior have since crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I am still blessed with my 15 year old foster-fail, Sissy - the sweetest pitbull you’ll ever meet. She’s slowing down some, but she still loves her four walks a day, and she’s just a happy, playful, gentle goofball! I take pride in providing experienced, professional care, customized to your pet’s needs, and I always provide the same love and attention I’d want for my Sissy girl. You can trust that your pets will be well-cared for and well-loved with me, and I look forward to meeting y'all! SCHEDULE My day revolves around animals, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I provide pet care full time, so my availability is flexible enough to keep your pet’s routine. In other words, your pets come first! I will administer medications on schedule, and if needed, I can also expertly coordinate care with others, including a groomer or veterinarian. I'm also comfortable monitoring animals in recovery. For vacation care, I generally prefer to schedule a minimum of three potty breaks a day not only to ensure your pet’s comfort, exercise, and stimulation, but also to preserve the dignity of your home. SERVICES Generally, I petsit by referral only to ensure I work with animal lovers whose pets are well-cared for, but a couple of my senior pet clients have crossed the rainbow bridge so I have a little more availability than usual and decided to make a Rover profile. Though my account is on the newer side, I have beaucoup references from current and former clients available upon request. I typically provide care in the client’s home to maintain routine and consistency for your pet(s), and I am currently offering drop-in visits and walks through the Rover platform. I provide boarding and doggy day care in my home and overnight care in the pet's home on a case by case basis, provided your pet gets along with my Sissy girl (you can find her bio on my profile) As Sissy and your pet’s safety is my top priority, our pets would need to meet first to ensure they are a good fit. If you require a service I'm not currently offering, please do not hesitate to reach out :)
“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.”
“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've had dog(s) my entire life and have two perfect angels of my own now. I love playing, snuggling and spoiling all doggos. My sister is an experienced Vet Tech, and she's on call at all times in case anything were to go wrong. She also lives around the corner if a visit is needed. My yard is fenced in with a doggie door for true puppy freedom, and I'm within walking distance to the dog park. Growing up around tons of pets and veterinarians, I'm experienced in tendencies and temperaments of dogs and good about picking up on how they're feeling/reacting. From toys to treats to tummy rubs, I'll make your dog feel right at home! I can be as strict or as lenient on diet/exercise as you need. Your pup won't miss a beat!
About: I have fostered animals since I was in elementary school. I have been working in the veterinary field for 8 years and I am a first-year veterinary student!

As a Veterinary Technician and Veterinary Student, I have the knowledge and skills to handle any unforeseen emergencies that may arise during your dog's stay, ensuring their safety and well-being at all times.

I believe in maintaining open communication with pet owners. You will receive regular updates, including photos and videos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is doing well. My pet-sitting services are provided your pet's environment with proper supervision at all times. Your pet's safety is my top priority. Don't compromise when it comes to your furry friend's well-being. Contact me to schedule a meet-and-greet and discuss your pet's specific needs.

About: I am currently getting my PhD in Animal Science! Aside from study animals for a living, I have 5+ years of commercial care experience with small and large animals. Raised by a dog trainer and breeder for a mom, I grew up with many types of animals, including exotics like geckos and hamsters. I currently have two cats, Willow and Clover.

About: I’ve had a dog in the house since I was 5 years old. I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years as a boarder before I permanently moved to Baton Rouge. I go to LSU and major in animal science. I have medicated and taken care of anxious/aggressive dogs. I am patient, gentle, and I take account that each pet is a family member to each owner. I am currently enrolled at LSU majoring in Animal science. I have wanted to foster or get a pet of my own since moving here but I have not been able to, so I decided to make my side hustle helping others with the things I love to do. I am available on weekdays and most weekends. Just message me ahead of time for weekends! I am easygoing and easy to communicate with. I have a fenced little yard and I enjoy walking around my gated neighborhood, so I will do so with your pet. I follow instructions well, I am aware each pet is different and have their own personality. I’m slow and a quick learner, since I have handled hundreds different dogs for a handful of years. If I am ever confused on an instruction my first instinct is to contact you to make sure and not just “assume”.

I care for pets by following their routines, providing food, water, exercise, and attention, ensuring a safe and clean environment, and monitoring their health and well-being whether in my home or the client’s home.
About: i’ve grown up around very large dog breeds. I have experience caring for all breeds and sizes. i would definitely enjoy taking your dog for a walk around the neighborhood or maybe even a hike if they would enjoy that! I will also work on manners and training with your pup if that’s something you’d be interested in. I would also provide a bath and brush out if wanted and/or needed. Ive worked in shelters, as a vet tech, and a doggy daycare. I hope that you will trust me to watch after your dog, I know how important they are to you :) I have an open schedule at the moment so I am completely free and flexible to care for your babies. Whatever works for you I can work around! Whatever is needed of me specifically for your pet(s) I can do for you. With my years of experience working with animals I’m pretty confident.

“Lori is the best! I love hearing from her while I’m at work about her walks and playtime with my dog. I only needed her for a few weeks but she was reliable and really connected with my dog during that time. No complaints here - would highly recommend!”
“Anna is great! My old dog walker had to move, and I found Anna on short notice. She is such a blessing and takes great care of my pup. I know that he is well taken care of when I am at work.”
About: I am a Least intrusive minimally aversive dog trainer, and AKC evaluator. I foster with multiple rescues. I have experience working with all types of dogs. I am very knowledgeable on dog body language, behavior, and genetics. You can also visit us on instagram for pictures of past and current boarding pups, and don’t forget to send us a message on Instagram with the word “Rover” to unlock an exclusive discount Avalon.k9s I have a flexible schedule as I work for myself, I spend my free time training dogs, and when I’m busy I’m also training dogs. I have a whole room in my house dedicated to dogs, but they’re welcome anywhere in the house, I have a fenced in yard and I’m located close to some lakes. I have tons of unique enrichment opportunities for your pups, including things like snuffle mats, puzzles, kongs, and more. My house is puppy proofed, because I often foster and train dogs! Being a multiple dog household I cannot board any dog with same sex aggression, human aggression, or idiopathic aggression, and reactive dogs will be a case by case basis, However, being a trainer I am more than open to help families work through these issues. Please let me know of any medical conditions or allergies! I like to use treats when working with dogs, so I recommend bringing some yummy high value treats so their tummy doesn’t get upset! If you are interested in dog training and would like to do a Board & Train contact me for more details! I also offer training packages during boarding, so if you want your pup to work on some basic obedience feel free to ask for more info!
“Taylor was quickly responsive when we were looking for a dog walker, after being new to the neighborhood. She was very tentative, provided updates, and treated our dog with care! She did a full 30+ minute walk and sent us photos of Wiles! We would absolutely book with Taylor again. She was very patient with Wiles as he is adjusting to the neighborhood.”
About: I live alone with no kids or other pets, which means your dog will enjoy a calm, quiet environment with my full attention. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to provide care, companionship, and supervision. I have a fenced-in backyard for safe play and outdoor time. As a lifelong animal lover and former German Shepherd owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of pet care—my favorite part was the bond we built through daily attention and affection. I bring that same love and dedication to every dog I welcome into my home. I have a very flexible routine since I work from home and live in a walkable neighborhood. I love taking walks throughout the day, which makes it easy and natural to include your dog in my daily schedule. Whether it’s morning strolls, midday potty breaks, or evening wind-down walks, your dog will fit seamlessly into my routine and get plenty of attention and exercise. In my home, your dog will be cared for with close attention to their specific routines and needs. I’ll follow your instructions exactly—whether that’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, crate training, or preferred walking times. I understand how important consistency is, especially when your dog is adjusting to a new environment. With a fenced-in backyard, your pup will have a safe space to play and explore freely. Since I work from home, I can easily adapt my day to match your dog’s routine and ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for throughout their stay.

About: I’ve raised my dog, Tino, since I’ve been 10! I’ve gone through all the stages from a pup to now a senior dog. I am also currently studying to become a DVM so I love all furry friends! :) I have 100+ volunteer hours at animal shelters and I currently work part time at a pet boarding facility. I’m free mostly every weekday and anytime on the weekends. I usually take pets out 3-4 times a day for potty breaks.

“Elise was very professional yet warm and kind. I think our lab may have not wanted to come back home. I will definitely recommend Elise to anyone looking to get their best friend back in better condition than they were left. Will use here again in the future if she is available.”
“Savannah is the best. She really takes great care of my dog. She’s everything to me. My dog’s always so happy when she comes home and that means a lot to me I couldn’t ask for a better sitter or someone to leave my dog with when I’m away, she is by far the best in my eyes”
“Lauren and Cody were wonderful with Reggie! He was probably not ready to come home! Plenty of updates and pictures were provided. We felt confident that our sweet boy was in good hands! We would definitely use Lauren and Cody again.”
“Communicates well, his experience and knowledge helped me worry less about leaving Lumi for the first time. I received check-ins/update with how Lumi was adjusting. Lumi will definitely be boarding with Keith again.”
About: I have worked as a vet assistant at an animal hospital for 3.5 years with plans to apply to the LSU vet school. I have also owned and cared for animals my whole life, including farm experience. I am currently working part time, so I don’t have many weekly hours. I also live with my fiancée who is part time as well in a two bedroom townhouse. I have an unfenced yard with plenty of grass and walking area. I have 2 very friendly medium sized dogs to keep your dogs company. I have a large kennel if needed. I am also very active and can run and walk long distance for active dogs.
“Mark was fantastic! I was in town visiting family that are afraid of dogs. Mark watched Cloud and provided pics of walks, which my pup enjoyed greatly. Knowing Mark will care for Cloud will make it so much easier for me to visit family in the future.”
“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.”
“She was a amazing cat sitter and she came back feed and ready to face the world 100/100 will try her again... The constant updated made us feel connected even when we were away.. SHE IS THE ONE!!!! Thanks for all you do..”
“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.”
“JC was so great! My dog can be a bit of a stinker with other dogs when things don’t go her way. A minor issue happened, JC reached out instantly and let me know. She mentioned that she understood if I felt more comfortable coming to pick her up but also said that she would like to give her another chance as she was confident what caused the issue and could prevent it from happening another time..and she did! I will definitely be using her again. Would highly recommend!”
“Bailey was great with Oliver. She answered all my questions during the meet & greet and she provided updates for him as well as photos. I was very happy to not worry about him while I was away.”
“We have been so happy with Tracy and her level of care for our toy poodle. Tracy and her kids treated our dog like she was family. I know our dog felt right at home while we were gone. I received multiple updates and pictures while we were away. We’ve booked with her twice now and will continue to use her for the future.”
“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.”
“Sox loved his time with Christy. She was great! I never worried about whether Sox was in good hands as Christy sent updates with pictures throughout his stay. Definitely recommend Christy and will be booking again in the future.”

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.

My goal is always to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away.
