“THE ABSOLUTE BEST SITTER EVER! I chose to go with Nolvia because she was on my way to and from the airport. But I ended up being so lucky to find her, and am now willing to go out of my way if I have to for all my dog sitting needs. She is worth it! My dog Rebel and her dog Marisol vibed so well. Nolvia has a beautiful home and is OVERLY attentive to caring for my pups needs, my spoiled girl was right at home! Nolvia sent the cutest photos, had interactive toys, kept my very high energy dog active, was flexible and very communicative. Highly recommend!”

About: Hey guys, my names Trey :) I’ve taken care of animals of every breed/size. Growing up, my parents always allowed me to have animals. I had dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, pigs, horses, rats, and reptiles. As you can see, I don’t discriminate on what animal you may have and all are welcomed here! At 15, I had my first job as a dog groomer. I was in charge of grooming, kennel upkeep, walking, and boarding. I have two dogs, and a bearded dragon who are spoiled with unconditional love. Currently working full time from home, so I’d have plenty of time to watch over your fur babies. I keep up with posting dates that im available, if there’s a day open I’ll be all yours! I have a fenced in yard with enough room for them to run around and release some energy. I have two dogs, who are extremely sweet and gets along with others. They’d love to have a friend around.. possible to keep them separate as well. Also have my own vehicle, so picking up and bringing your buddy to parks is no problem. I’m able to tailor to your pets needs and get accustomed to their daily schedule. While your animal is in my care, I’ll follow up with text and photos to keep your mind at peace :).

About: I’ve taken care of so many dogs since I was younger, so many have relied on me, and trusted me with their dogs and having to deal with walks, feedings, medications (mostly oral meds). I have such a huge passion for dog care and love spending time with so many fur babies at my previous job at a doggy daycare. I have about 3 years and 8 months of hands on experience in the dog field. Reading body language, training and much more.I treat everyone’s furry babies as if they were my own. I have recently relocated into a new state and so everything is new for me here! But I’m happy to meet all these new furry friends and show all the care I have for each. I’m currently unemployed so my schedule is pretty open. I’m here whenever you need me! Is basically my motto as of right now! I’m here to care. I have two fur babies of my own one being a 4 year old lab retriever mix he is very socialized and can keep your fur baby or babies company if they are well enough with other dogs. Can always bring him on walks with us or to come and visit and play or stay with. I also provide adventures. But with my services I can provide in home care, overnight care and or drop ins. And as said walks! Whatever you need I will go above and beyond to make sure everything you need is done!

About: Since I was five we’ve had cats. My first cat was a mean black tux named binx. I loved him with a passion and he’s now resting after about 14 years. Today I live with my three angels biscuit,peanut, and jam. They’re six I got them around 4-6 months old and they’re the sweetest. I always wonder why but not to sound shameless I think they’re so loving bc I raised them with love.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for animals. I’m 29 years old, born and raised in Louisiana, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 6 years. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, not just a job or side hustle. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets because they’re family. I know the importance of making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m experienced with both dogs and cats of different personalities, ages, and energy levels — from playful puppies and kittens to older pets that need extra patience and gentle care. I treat every pet like they’re my own, giving them attention, affection, playtime, and a calm environment so they feel secure and happy. I want pet owners to have peace of mind knowing their babies are in caring, reliable hands. I’m currently working part time so I would have plenty of time for your loved ones. I’m available Monday-Sunday Mornings at 8am to 12pm . Evenings 6:30 to 8pm. I’m able to provide pets with a comfortable indoor space in my spare bedroom, giving them a calm and safe environment while in my care. I also have a spacious backyard where pets can enjoy fresh air and outdoor time safely on adjustable leashes, allowing them room to move around comfortably and stretch their legs based on their needs and activity level.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and would love to hang out with yours! I look forward to games of fetch and walks with your dogs and I know my two dogs (Rosie and Horus) will be thrilled to have new friends. I am a teacher and off for the summer. I have nothing but time to spend with your animals and hope to have the opportunity to meet them! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs. I take them for daily walks and love to let them roam a dog park. I keep them well fed and watered and make sure they feel loved.

About: I've been pet sitting for friends and friends-of-friends for over 15 years, and formally on Rover for over a year. I am comfortable with cats and dogs of all sizes and ages as well as small animals (hamsters, bunnies, birds, etc). I love to get to know every animal's quirks and personalities! I am completely capable of complex instructions/feeding routines; I just want your fur baby to be happy, healthy, and comfortable! I teach at the university so during the school year (mid August to mid May) most weekdays I am free before 8:30 and after 3:30. Evenings are often completely open and available to stay overnight if needed, on a case by case basis. In the summer I essentially have open availability and am very flexible, pending other sitting bookings. I cannot book boardings (keep your pet at my house), but I can arrange to stay at your house (labeled as house sitting on here) if your pet would prefer someone around more regularly than just drop ins and you are comfortable with that. Of course happy to do meet-ups prior!

About: I’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, and ducks for years at a time in my own home. I’m currently working as a vet assistant, and my dream is to work with animals for the rest of my life. I will follow all care instructions carefully and diligently, and I will make sure your pet is safe and happy! I have a job at Bayou Cane Veterinary Hospital part-time, so I will need to work around my schedule there to be able to accommodate requests. All I ask is a little bit of flexibility, and I will do my best to work you in! Current work schedule: Monday 9am-5pm Wednesday 9am-5pm Thursday 9am-1pm Saturday 9am-1pm I cannot offer pet care in my own home right now, but I am fully willing to visit your home and let your dog out to play and potty, give them water as needed, and give them food when instructed.

About: Hi friends!! Thanks so much for considering me to take care of your pet. Whether you’re going on vacation or just need a daily helping hand, I’m here to give your furry family members the love, attention, and care they deserve. As a dependable, compassionate caregiver, I treat every pet like my own…with patience, playfulness, and plenty of snuggles. I’d love to be your go to sitter! Let me know how I can help! 😊 I am home full time for the summer but do go back to work as a teacher in August. While I’m not able to do overnight stays due to having young children at home, I’m happy to stop by throughout the day and into the evening to make sure your pet is well cared for. In my client’s home, I make sure pets stay comfortable by following their regular routines as closely as possible. I provide scheduled feedings, fresh water, playtime, walks (if needed), and plenty of affection. I also keep their environment clean and safe, and I’m always happy to follow any special instructions or routines you provide. Communication is important to me, so I send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. ***I no longer provide boarding services!***

About: I have been able to attend basic, intermediate, and advanced bog training classes with our family fur baby. I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, and other small animals including Guinea Pigs, birds, and fish. I work evening shift work at my other job so most of my pet care availability would be during the day time. But I am flexible and able to work in pet care around my other schedule. Playing, walking, feeding, and having fun. I also have experience giving doggie baths and bandaging bobos. But mostly I love hanging with my fur babies!

About: Cornerstone Gundog Academy member and founder of the South LA chapter, I train a Boykin spaniel through trust-based, collar-free methods that empower dogs to think independently. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly rhythm. I work full-time weekdays, but weekends are fully open for boarding. With our first baby arriving soon, I’ll be staying local and can offer consistent attention. Dogs used to weekday routines can be accommodated with flexible care, ensuring they’re comfortable and well looked after even during my work schedule. At our home, dogs enjoy a safe, fully fenced play yard where they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and interaction. Whether they’re boarding for the weekend or just dropping by during the week, each dog receives thoughtful attention based on their routine and personality. I focus on trust-based handling methods to make every visit feel comfortable and stress-free.

About: Hey guys, my names Trey :) I’ve taken care of animals of every breed/size. Growing up, my parents always allowed me to have animals. I had dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, pigs, horses, rats, and reptiles. As you can see, I don’t discriminate on what animal you may have and all are welcomed here! At 15, I had my first job as a dog groomer. I was in charge of grooming, kennel upkeep, walking, and boarding. I have two dogs, and a bearded dragon who are spoiled with unconditional love. Currently working full time from home, so I’d have plenty of time to watch over your fur babies. I keep up with posting dates that im available, if there’s a day open I’ll be all yours! I have a fenced in yard with enough room for them to run around and release some energy. I have two dogs, who are extremely sweet and gets along with others. They’d love to have a friend around.. possible to keep them separate as well. Also have my own vehicle, so picking up and bringing your buddy to parks is no problem. I’m able to tailor to your pets needs and get accustomed to their daily schedule. While your animal is in my care, I’ll follow up with text and photos to keep your mind at peace :).

About: I’ve always adored pets since I was young. I’ve had many in my life from cats,dogs,and rodents. I know animals are equal beings that need treatment with special accommodations. This requires patience which is almost unlimited for me.i currently have three cats that I’ve owned since they were 3-4 months old they’re now 6. I just got rats a few weeks ago they’re girls 6-8 months old. I believe everything follows a routine dedicated to them and I have no issue aligning myself to these routines. I’m still finishing high school at the moment and I have a job. But besides managing those I’m available weekdays after 4 if I’m not scheduled to work, weekends any time I keep my babies inside as much as possible. They’re allowed to free roam outside since they’re used to that lifestyle from before. They wear flee collars, jam is allergic. I cleanse them with daily grooming and anima safe wipes or soap if necessary. They’re fed 2-3 a day with half a cup or less of cat food I do plan to change their diets eventually. When it comes to other people’s pets I treat them with nothing but love and care and always stay considerate of whatever the owner says I should know about that animal. I’m extremely against cruelty brand products so I will avoid associating or using them.
