Personalized care for your dog or cat - Branch
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Branch
“Alysha was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Gucci. She was extremely patient, kind, and attentive, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Gucci takes a little while to warm up to new people, but she took the time to make him feel comfortable and cared for. It was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them with compassion. I am so grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated sitter.”
“Kimmy & Michael were very welcoming and clear about everything. This was especially important to us because we had never boarded a dog before. Their set up is home-based and limited in numbers of dogs they accommodate at any one time. They have routines that make the dogs feel safe and comfortable. And they communicate daily about happenings and how the dogs are doing. We are boarding again soon and I have the feeling that our pup will be excited to go back to Kimmy and Michael's.”
“Mrs. Susan was a blessing for my pup while we traveled out of the country! He was very well taken care of and made to feel at home. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Roger was amazing, he took great care of Rico. I get a little nervous, when I leave Rico at a sitter, but I was extremely comfortable. Roger was great, hopefully he will always be available, when we go out of town. 5star”
“This was the best experience we have had so far on Rover! Lindsey was phenomenal at taking care of our extremely active dog. Received daily photos of my dog and constant communication about how his day went. Will be booking again!”
“Amanda was incredible. She accepted my same week request. After drop off she gave me an update within the first 30 minutes of having him and continued to update me throughout his stay. Boomer was loved and cared for, definitely will be using her service again!”
“Very friendly. She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs and cat. They definitely didn’t not want to leave. She gave updated and did a meet and greet before hand to get to know them. We will be back”
“An amazing sitter. I went on a 5 day cruise and was so nervous about leaving my fur baby with anybody. Thankfully, Tenashia took my very last minute request and the experience was a 10/10. Very responsive when I checked in on him. She cared for my dog as if he were hers, and I couldn’t be happier. Super friendly, when I met her I knew my baby was in good hands. Will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs growing up as well as lots of other animals! I often dog sit for my siblings and love having them. I like my home to feel like their home with little adjustment. I work at 5 am and come home for lunch and am back home by 12 and am home for the rest of the night. I live right by my job and they are very flexible with me. I love being home in the evenings and having someone to take walks with is ideal! My apartment is open to pets, furniture included unless specified. I will happily keep pets off your furniture if needed. I take regular walks with a leash for exercise to make up for the lack of hard at my house.
“Karyn is so kind and considerate. She was very enthusiastic and attentive when watching my dog, and she sent a lot of updates, which was much appreciated. And her dog was great with mine. Would definitely have my dog stay with her again.”
“Brianna took great care of our fur babies and sent lots of pics/videos to keep us updated daily! She cared for them like they were her own. I would highly recommend her to sit/care for your own.”
“She really took good care of my girl. The photos sent everyday made me know she was great. My first experience and I was gone for 7 days. Will be Summer babysitter and I highly recommend.”
“Shayna was great . She was very attentive to my baby's needs. She is very responsive and kept me updated at least twice a day on my baby's activities and well being. I will definitely use her service again.”
“Jahzah is amazing! She provided regular updates with the cutest photos, which gave me a piece of mine while I was away. My dog was clearly happy and well cared for. I will definitely take my dog back to her. I felt like my dog was truly on vacation as well! :)”

“Uriah has been a huge help for me checking in on the dogs while I’m at work! She is reliable and does a great job keeping me updated throughout the day! Would recommend her for your pet needs.”
“Erica was amazing! She was extremely responsive and kept me informed the whole time. She was patient with my shy cats and kept them very entertained when they finally relaxed around her. I won’t hesitate to use her again!”
“We had a great experience with our dog sitter! They stopped by for a drop-in potty break for our three dogs — Beamer, Jax, and Beau — and took great care of them. It gave us a lot of peace of mind knowing someone reliable was checking on them while we were away”
““I’m so grateful for the wonderful care she provided for my cat, Gracie. She was always on time, dependable, and truly attentive. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter and will absolutely use her again.””
About: Hi! My name is Shayna Malonson, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals—especially dogs. I grew up with dogs my entire life, and now as an adult with my own home, I’m lucky to have two of my own: Ally (4 years old) and King (2 years old). They are a huge part of my daily life and have taught me so much about responsible, loving care. I personally bathe my dogs, brush their teeth, and handle their basic grooming after learning how to properly care for them myself. Through experience—especially managing my older dog’s dry skin—I’ve learned a lot about different dog food brands, skin-care products, and overall dog wellness. This has helped me become very attentive to each dog’s individual needs. In my free time, I enjoy playing fetch, going on simple walks, and giving my dogs plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home often and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to plan feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest periods without rushing. I build my day around the dogs in my care, making sure they receive regular supervision, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning and evening routines, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m flexible and dependable. I enjoy keeping pets on a steady schedule so they feel comfortable and secure I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated like family and are always supervised. I make sure the space is clean, pet-safe, and free from hazards, with plenty of room for rest, play, and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with basic grooming care such as bathing and brushing, and I pay close attention to skin sensitivity, diet needs, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended outside. Trust and communication are very important to me. I provide updates, photos, and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: I’ve been caring for cats my entire life and have experience with cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. From playful kittens to senior cats, I understand the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I’m familiar with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, administering basic care, recognizing changes in behavior, and giving each cat the patience and attention they need to feel secure. I genuinely love being around cats and treat every one as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of care, affection, and companionship while their owners are away. 🐾💛
About: I provide top of the line animal care for all domesticated pets. I'm most comfortable with dogs and cats, but there isn't anything I can't handle. I have pet sat for many different families for about 6 years. I love giving endless affection to each pet and love to exercise with them. It is very important to me to know the routine for each client and try to make this experience as comfortable as possible. I used to run a dog care facility, The Dog Stop, which includes boarding, daycare, and grooming. I'm properly trained in this field of work. I have worked in the veterinary medicine field going on 6 years now as a veterinary nurse. I am trained in both a general practice setting and emergency room care for pets as well. I attended both SLCC and UL in Louisiana to pursue my degree in Animal Science. I personally own a 7 year old black male house cat named Xander, and two young and very loving female mixed breed dogs!

I am very comfortable with any at home therapeutic treatments, medications, training, dietary restrictions, etc.
About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved animals. I think fur babies are the sweetest thing because although they’re only with you for a little of their lives, you’re with them for all of theirs. I currently have a Shih Tzu & tuxedo cat of my own named Marble who are big babies. I currently work remotely Monday-Thursday 8:30 AM-4:30 PM so I’ll be home just about the whole day with your furry ones! Potty breaks, walks, and movie nights here won’t be a problem! I have a large yard next to my house so potty breaks won’t be a problem. Also I have an adult fixed Shih Tzu that loves naps, belly rubs, and playing to keep your fur one company!
About: I have experience working in multiple veterinary clinics, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal health and behavior than the average sitter. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and senior pets who may need extra patience or special attention. I’ve also been pet sitting and boarding for over three years, so I’m used to keeping pets comfortable, sticking to routines, and making them feel safe while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel loved and stress-free. I recently moved to Lafayette from Pineville, I’m looking for new clients. I am available any day of the week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they get regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I make sure they stay on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I can provide your pet with safety and a lovable environment while in my care. Their physical and mental needs will be met to my best ability.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Branch
“Kimmy and Michael were awesome and sent multiple pictures even though my dog was only with them during the day. I had movers at my house who stayed later than expected but Kimmy and Michael were super flexible with the pick up time which was a lifesaver. They have a large yard and my dog came home exhausted!”
About: Hi! I'm Maria, a lifelong animal lover and your trusted partner for safe, fun, and loving pet care. For over a decade, I've been the go to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. I understand that every pup has a unique personality, and my goal is to make them feel as happy and secure as if you never left. Why choose my home for your dog's stay? · A Safe, Spacious Haven: My house features a fully fenced, secure backyard with plenty of room for zoomies, playtime, and sunbathing. It's a true dog-friendly domain! · Active & Attentive Care: I believe in tailored care—whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer needing long walks and fetch sessions, or a cozy senior who prefers gentle strolls and plenty of couch cuddles. · A Stress-Free Environment: I provide a calm, clean, and pet-only home (no children), ensuring your dog receives my full attention and doesn't feel overwhelmed. · Constant Communication: You'll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is having a great time. I treat every guest with the same love, patience, and respect I'd want for my own pet. Let's connect, I can't wait to welcome your best friend for their very own vacation. I work 4 to 6 hours a day; the rest of the time, I am at home. I always take them out to the yard before I leave, and I make sure they have food and water. When I return, I take them out to the yard again, and we go for a walk, following our established routine. They usually stay indoors, except for morning and evening walks and bathroom breaks in the fenced yard, which last approximately 30 minutes, three times a day. The dogs eat according to a schedule set by the owner, and they have the freedom to move freely around the house and lie down wherever they want. I have a medium-sized mixed-breed dog who usually ignores other dogs and sometimes plays with them if he likes them.
About: I have loved all animals from a young age but have an especially soft spot for dogs. I have worked with a pitbull rescue in the past, volunteered at rescue events and shelters and my sister has been a vet tech for over a decade. I currently have 7 fur baby rescues of my own that I have found wandering the streets all different sizes and breeds : ) I work full-time but from home. I have a constant rotation in place for letting pups out to potty, play, and spend one on one time with them. I am almost always home except for a few hours throughout the week to workout or run errands. My personal pets have an underground fence that keeps them in the yard, however I have 3 large covered runs under the carport each with a grassy area and shop fans, cots, and large water basins if extended outdoor time is required other than a leash walk for your baby. Indoors I have 2 bedrooms designated for pups as well as a living area. I rotate groups throughout these areas as well as outside during the day as I have dogs of all ages and activity levels.

About: I’ve been drawn to dogs, horses, cats, and pretty much any animal with four legs (well even the ones that only have 3 limbs and are rescues) since I was little. I’ve never not had some sort of rescue dog. I am used to taking care of special needs and making sure animals get lots of attention and love. I am asked by friends and neighbors to take care of walking, feeding, and loving their pets while away. I haven’t met a dog/cat that I haven’t fallen in love with. I am also available to walk your dog daily. I stay at home with my father who is 80 years old in a four bedroom house. Your pet will get round the clock attention with frequent exercise, petting and feeding with your schedule requests. Your pet will be very loved and well taken care of. I am also experienced with special needs with medications or modifications that you may have. Your animal can spend time in the house and I also have a large fenced in yard. If an indoor pet your animal will have their own room (I have two extra bedrooms). If you prefer they can sleep in my room on pet pillows. I will take your pet on walks and they will also have a large backyard to explore. My dog (Copper) will stay with my father if I am going to your home. Light housekeeping and meal prep are available if needed for an additional fee.
About: I've been blessed to foster more than 20 dogs over the past couple of years. I know training basics, have a big backyard, and currently have two of my own dogs who love to play. I am currently not working so I am free the majority of the time. This allows there to be little to no crating required during the day. I have a large fenced in backyard for free play and zoomies. Inside I have dog beds and toys and a lap for cuddling. My two dogs are friendly and have had plenty of exposure to other dogs through my fostering.
“Sadie and I would definitely recommend Megan for doggy daycare! She is prompt and reliable--Always responded to messaging right away. She seems genuine and friendly. Sadie, who is a little shy with strangers, warmed to her quickly. We would certainly use her kind services again!”

About: Hello, Furbaby Parents!!! I love and treat my furbabies like human babies...and, to me, they are. A baby is a baby. They need love, nourishment, direction, and laughter and that is what your baby will get while at our home. 🐈🐕😍 I try to only keep 1 dog at a time, in addition to our 2.

I grew up with dogs my entire life, and now as an adult with my own home, I’m lucky to have two of my own: Ally (4 years old) and King (2 years old). They are a huge part of my daily life and have taught me so much about responsible, loving care. I personally bathe my dogs, brush their teeth, and handle their basic grooming after learning how to properly care for them myself. Through experience—especially managing my older dog’s dry skin—I’ve learned a lot about different dog food brands, skin-care products, and overall dog wellness. This has helped me become very attentive to each dog’s individual needs. In my free time, I enjoy playing fetch, going on simple walks, and giving my dogs plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home often and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to plan feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest periods without rushing. I build my day around the dogs in my care, making sure they receive regular supervision, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning and evening routines, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m flexible and dependable. I enjoy keeping pets on a steady schedule so they feel comfortable and secure I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated like family and are always supervised. I make sure the space is clean, pet-safe, and free from hazards, with plenty of room for rest, play, and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with basic grooming care such as bathing and brushing, and I pay close attention to skin sensitivity, diet needs, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended outside. Trust and communication are very important to me. I provide updates, photos, and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

About: Hi! I’m a passionate pet lover with over 2 years of hands-on experience working at a busy doggy daycare. During that time, I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities from high-energy pups to shy seniors who just needed a little extra patience. I’m experienced in group play supervision, feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing dog behavior to keep every pup safe and happy. I treat every dog like they’re my own and focus on creating a calm, fun, and loving environment while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddles, or structured care, you can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate service. Your pet’s comfort and safety will always be my top priority! Scheduling-wise, I currently work part-time as a barista and typically have short 6-hour shifts, so I’m never away for too long. This allows me to stay flexible and attentive when caring for pets. I’m great at planning around my schedule to make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and plenty of love while you’re away. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood that’s perfect for pet care. The area has low traffic, peaceful surroundings, and plenty of space for calm walks and fresh air. It’s a very pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel relaxed and comfortable, whether they enjoy lounging indoors or going on slow, stress-free strolls outside. The calm atmosphere makes it ideal for pets who thrive in a cozy, low-noise setting.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 9. I have experience in everything from walking to whelping. I love animals and would love to meet and care for yours! I am currently training to be a dog groomer on weekday mornings. I’m available for drop ins and walks after 1pm. On weekends I’m not out of town I would love to hang out with your babies as well! I have transportation to get to your babies to check in, feed and water, or walk them. I bring water on walks to help them with the crazy summer temperatures and weather and am able to easily read their body language to make sure they are healthy and happy.
About: I have experience working in multiple veterinary clinics, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal health and behavior than the average sitter. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and senior pets who may need extra patience or special attention. I’ve also been pet sitting and boarding for over three years, so I’m used to keeping pets comfortable, sticking to routines, and making them feel safe while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel loved and stress-free. I recently moved to Lafayette from Pineville, I’m looking for new clients. I am available any day of the week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they get regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I make sure they stay on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I can provide your pet with safety and a lovable environment while in my care. Their physical and mental needs will be met to my best ability.
About: All my life I have always had a furry friend and that love is more unique than any love you could get. One thing I live by is loving and treating every pet like they are my own and I have experience from new born puppies to helping with the needs of senior dogs/cats and everyday I am still learning. I am available most days out of the week as long as it is in advanced and can accommodate your needs. I’m available every weekend and holidays! I currently have 1 dog that lives with me but unfortunately will not be able to care for any at my own home. At your home I can work with whatever task you are given me and can be flexible if for example, told there is no fenced yard or if the pet needs to be kept outdoors. I will not be able to stay over nights but can care for pets as long as I need to!
About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved animals. I think fur babies are the sweetest thing because although they’re only with you for a little of their lives, you’re with them for all of theirs. I currently have a Shih Tzu & tuxedo cat of my own named Marble who are big babies. I currently work remotely Monday-Thursday 8:30 AM-4:30 PM so I’ll be home just about the whole day with your furry ones! Potty breaks, walks, and movie nights here won’t be a problem! I have a large yard next to my house so potty breaks won’t be a problem. Also I have an adult fixed Shih Tzu that loves naps, belly rubs, and playing to keep your fur one company!
About: I have had many animals in my lifetime, starting from very young! I have had the honor of taking care of friends and family’s dogs/kitties for many years as well as having my own. I have really grown to love sitting and consider it a true passion! I currently work part-time and am in school, but I still have quite a lot of time on my hands which I would love to spend with animals! I am very gentle with dogs and cats alike. I can easily play and get them to be pretty comfortable with me quickly! I have never trained a dog, however, one of my close relatives is a dog trainer and I have watched her closely over the years!
About: I provide top of the line animal care for all domesticated pets. I'm most comfortable with dogs and cats, but there isn't anything I can't handle. I have pet sat for many different families for about 6 years. I love giving endless affection to each pet and love to exercise with them. It is very important to me to know the routine for each client and try to make this experience as comfortable as possible. I used to run a dog care facility, The Dog Stop, which includes boarding, daycare, and grooming. I'm properly trained in this field of work. I have worked in the veterinary medicine field going on 6 years now as a veterinary nurse. I am trained in both a general practice setting and emergency room care for pets as well. I attended both SLCC and UL in Louisiana to pursue my degree in Animal Science. I personally own a 7 year old black male house cat named Xander, and two young and very loving female mixed breed dogs! I am currently working full-time as a veterinary nurse at Urgent Veterinary Care in Austin, TX. I have also worked at PAZ veterinary clinic in Austin, TX as a veterinary nurse. I started off my veterinary technician career in Lafayette, LA at Lafayette Veterinary Care Center over 4 years ago. I am always looking for ways to spend more time doing what I love which is caring for fur-babies! I will cater to any and all needs necessary for each individual client. I am very comfortable with any at home therapeutic treatments, medications, training, dietary restrictions, etc.

“Alysha was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Gucci. She was extremely patient, kind, and attentive, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Gucci takes a little while to warm up to new people, but she took the time to make him feel comfortable and cared for. It was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them with compassion. I am so grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated sitter.”
“Kimmy & Michael were very welcoming and clear about everything. This was especially important to us because we had never boarded a dog before. Their set up is home-based and limited in numbers of dogs they accommodate at any one time. They have routines that make the dogs feel safe and comfortable. And they communicate daily about happenings and how the dogs are doing. We are boarding again soon and I have the feeling that our pup will be excited to go back to Kimmy and Michael's.”
“Roger was amazing, he took great care of Rico. I get a little nervous, when I leave Rico at a sitter, but I was extremely comfortable. Roger was great, hopefully he will always be available, when we go out of town. 5star”
“Amanda was incredible. She accepted my same week request. After drop off she gave me an update within the first 30 minutes of having him and continued to update me throughout his stay. Boomer was loved and cared for, definitely will be using her service again!”
“Very friendly. She took wonderful care of our 2 dogs and cat. They definitely didn’t not want to leave. She gave updated and did a meet and greet before hand to get to know them. We will be back”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs growing up as well as lots of other animals! I often dog sit for my siblings and love having them. I like my home to feel like their home with little adjustment. I work at 5 am and come home for lunch and am back home by 12 and am home for the rest of the night. I live right by my job and they are very flexible with me. I love being home in the evenings and having someone to take walks with is ideal! My apartment is open to pets, furniture included unless specified. I will happily keep pets off your furniture if needed. I take regular walks with a leash for exercise to make up for the lack of hard at my house.
“Karyn is so kind and considerate. She was very enthusiastic and attentive when watching my dog, and she sent a lot of updates, which was much appreciated. And her dog was great with mine. Would definitely have my dog stay with her again.”
“Brianna took great care of our fur babies and sent lots of pics/videos to keep us updated daily! She cared for them like they were her own. I would highly recommend her to sit/care for your own.”

“Jahzah is amazing! She provided regular updates with the cutest photos, which gave me a piece of mine while I was away. My dog was clearly happy and well cared for. I will definitely take my dog back to her. I felt like my dog was truly on vacation as well! :)”
“Tamara was absolutely fantastic!! She sent plenty of photos to update and our pups looked so content! She even extended our booking an extra day when we asked at the last minute! 10/10 I recommend!”
“Charlotte was amazing, and we will definitely be using her for our future boarding needs. She kept us updated the entire time with lots of pics and we could tell our pup had a great week with her.”
“It was our first time using Rover & boy, were we nervous to leave our babies with a complete stranger. Vanessa was incredibly sweet, accommodating and took amazing care of our girls. She sent us multiple videos and pictures throughout their stay which always brings a smile to your face & helps ease the nerves. We just got home and our girls are already passed out. We’re incredibly grateful.”
