“Aja and her family took amazing care of my babies while I went away. She updated me constantly with pictures and report from the day. She was easy to communicate with, friendly and I totally trusted her expertise with many years of experience in animal care. So glad I found her here!”
“I am so grateful for Randy. He took such great care of Willis and sent pictures frequently. Randy was also very accommodating when I asked if William could stay another day as my flight was delayed 3 different times! I would highly recommend Randy for future pet sitting needs.”
“We were very pleased with Missy. She has a nice yard for the dog to roam when outside. She sent numerous photos during our dogs stay. We would use her again if we ever return to New Orleans.”
“A great stay from start to finish... Great experience! and almost immediate communication from booking to drop off and pick up... My pooch enjoyed a mix of furry company during her stay and with the location so close to the airport - this is my top choice : ) ”
“My dogs were spoiled during my time away! I received daily updates and pictures/videos to prove they had a great time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“Amazing Experience with Damaris! Highly Recommend! I couldn't be more grateful for Damaris and the care she gave to my sweet Cavachon, Bella. Bella is a 5-year-old bundle of energy. Damaris went above and beyond! From the moment we met, I could tell she was a genuinely kind and sweet person who loves animals. Bella warmed up to her instantly, and I felt completely at ease leaving her in Damaris's care. Throughout the stay, Damaris kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. Bella had a blast with her, and I could tell she was in loving hands the whole time.”
“Our dog had a blast during his stay with Liz! She is thoughtful, communicative and we loved the daily pup photos. We are so appreciative and would recommend Liz in a heartbeat.”
“Natalie took great care of our dog Taz and provided lots of updates. I could tell in the pictures that Taz was so happy and it was a relief that he was in good hands. Thank you Natalie, you’re a life saver!”
“Lisa and Gizzy took great care of our Charlie! He can be a nervous nelly, but they put him at ease quickly as if he was part of the family from day one. Pics and updates were sent regularly. We are so grateful to have found you as Charlie’s home away from home!”
“Chayanne was amazing! Huey who is normally very shy, instantly felt at home. He had a nice relaxing weekend napping with Missy. Will definitely use again!”
“Mike was great with our Chase. He always kept us updated on Chase and sent photos very frequently. We could tell Chase loved being with Mike and his dog Britain. And a plus is that Mike lives only a block away from us. We were hesitant at first because of our own anxiety and it being our first time using the app but Mike was able to meet with us before Chase's stay and reassured us that Chase was in good hands. Highly recommend Mike! Thank you Mike and Britain for taking care of our boy!”
“We had to go out of country for 3 weeks…this was our first time using Rover. Ben was great with Koko. He sent us pictures and updates throughout the stay. We were very pleased and will be using Ben again.”
“Jon was absolutely amazing with our pups.. he would send photos on a daily in addition to providing our old man his meds. We understand that our younger pup has some issues getting along with others but he was able to keep the peace with all the pups and that's a bit of a feat because she can be ALOT. Our littles were happy to come home but looked just as they did when we left them, plump and happy! We will absolutely be using Jon again for our next vacation!!”
“We left our dog, Chica, with Lori for the weekend and we were so happy with the whole experience! Lori made sure we feel very comfortable by asking questions about our dog making us feel like she really strived to give the best care. We also felt she went above and beyond by checking with us before she did anything with her that we might not feel comfortable with. She also sent pictures and updates regularly, which we really enjoyed. Overall, Lori is trustworthy and does a wonderful job. We will be using her again!”
“Lynn takes great care of Freddie with the added benefit that he is the only dog while there! Many videos and pics so we felt connected while away. He is “a lot” sometimes wanting to play constantly however Lynn is up for the challenge! We will call on her service again! Thank you”
“Julia is amazing, she had everything ready when we arrived and was an excellent host for our doggie. She kept us up to date on Moo's days and made her feel at home. I highly recommend her. Will be going back to her when we come back.”
“This was my first time using Mary for my little corgi, Beignet. Beignet sent two weeks with Mary and when I picked her up, she was happy and healthy, her weight was good and she had her normal appetite. It was obvious that she really took a serious liking to Mary. I am very grateful for the kind, loving care that was given to my little dog. I would recommend her to anyone!”

About: I’ve grown up with whole life with dogs, so I know the importance of taking care of your 4-legged family member(s) that are important in your life. I want to provide my services so that your fur baby is safe and comfortable in their own home, while you are alway from home. I’ve had small dogs such as jack Russell’s and as big as pit bulls in my family. No fur baby is too big or too small to love and care for. I am currently not working since I am finishing my degree in Nursing. The only work I have been doing is part-time babysitting and dog sitting on the side & weekends. I am mostly available weekdays from 8am-8pm. Weekends can be tricky for me due to other side jobs such as babysitting, so it just depends. Just ask if you have questions about any specific weekend. I currently have a recused pitbull-husky mix living in my home with me, that loves to play all day. She is recently just finished her heart worm treatment as of August 2025. We just started slowly becoming active again. Due to her circumstances, I have been able to learn more about pets medication and aiding in helping her through this process. Unfortunately, I can not have any pets in my home due to renting restrictions of no more than 1 dog. However, I am available to help with other pets medications and care for your fur pup in your home.
“Celeste was so sweet! We felt very comfortable having her watch our cat while we were out of town. She was super accommodating and we loved the photos that she sent us. We will definitely book with Celeste again.”
“I was so thrilled to have found such a cat caring person like Rae. Excellent communication. My 3 cats and one outdoor community cat posed for so many photos. I felt like I was at home with them. Thank you Rae. I will definitely let you know next time I travel. 😻😻😻😻”
“Lindsey was very dependable. The dogs seemed to love her. I enjoyed knowing my dogs were being cared for in my home. I would definitely use Lindsey as my dog sitter in the future.”
“Brittany was very dependable and checked in on my cat every day. She also brought our packages inside when we were out of town. I definitely recommend booking for any of your pet sitting needs!! 😊”
“3-Happy Cats + 4-Happy Vacationed Humans. >> Olivia is fantastic. We had a 5-day trip and this was our first experience with Rover. We were apprehensive when we first downloaded the app because so much of it is geared to dogs, but they have a great setup for cat owners too. Olivia dropped by before our trip to meet our cats and us. She is very professional and a real animal lover. She patiently listened while we explained what we feed the cats and when. We showed her where the cat toys are and the litter boxes. She visited with each of the cats too. While we were on vacation we received updates on every visit. Photos of our small furry friends playing, eating, getting a good scratch behind the ears. And when we returned they were the most content we have ever seen them. Normally we get back from trips and the boxes smell or the water is dry but Olivia took care of it all. The Rover app itself is a little quirky but once we figured it out and received the text messages from Rover and Olivia - we were able to access all we needed.”
About: I started dog-sitting in college. I've taken care of blind senior dogs, puppies, adult dogs, not to mention guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, turtles...the list goes on!! I work from home, so I can take my laptop anywhere! I do have a strict work schedule, but it doesn't matter where I am. I treat my pets like they're my kids, so your pets would be like my nieces and nephews...lots of fun but I'll give 'em back!! When dog-sitting in your home, I try to leave everything just as you left it.
“Lydia was awesome, she cared for our senior dog Bella. She sent detailed communication about her drop in with Bella and made my husband and I feel at ease when we were gone. We will continue to use Lydia’s services, 5 stars!”
About: ---> Sorry, I do NOT accept most spunky, young dogs Over 30 pounds. Most of the small pets I care for cannot physically handle playing with most dogs over 30 pounds. There's no setting for that weight on Rover. (Unless your pet is an elder and/or they're very mellow) <--- My name is Melissa (aka. "Missy"). I'd like to care for your precious pet the next time you need some help. Do you have somewhere to go, or something to do? Let me help you, at your place or mine!?! You can book your pet for a caring, one hour, drop-in visit to your home, a few overnight visits, or an extended stay at my house. Do you need help at the last minute ... ? No problem. I'm happy to provide pet transportation, if needed. I can also help you fulfill the rules & requirements at a "Pet-Friendly" NOLa hotel, when the rules say, “you cannot leave your pet in the hotel room alone”. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant - This means your precious pet will NEVER be left alone for long hours, whenever they're in my care. I will be at your pet's side, while you take care of business or if you have a fun get-away planned. I’m very comfortable with many different animals & dog breeds, including elderly dogs that need a mellow, safe space with calm, gentle care. I pay close attention to what your dog likes & dis-likes, along with their personality quirks & individual needs. I enjoy caring for all animals, both young & old. I do not accept more than 2-3 dogs at a time. ((I USUALLY only schedule ONE family's pet(s) at the same time, especially if there’s a new dog client)). I always put in a great deal of consideration, before scheduling more than one family's pet at the same time. My home is very spacious, clean, well-organized & safe. I have a large, gated/enclosed & secure, backyard. The dogs that stay with me are ALWAYS supervised. My eyes will be on your pet constantly, while we play at your home or mine, both inside & outside. Allow me to love & care for your precious pet, while you take care of you. Let's discuss your needs. I do offer one free meet & greet. Other than dogs, I also have experience caring for: Cats, Birds, Bunnies, Turtles, Lizards, Snakes, Hamsters, Fish, Frogs, Chickens & Plants. Most of my pet guests are small, therefore any extra frisky, playful pet, over 30 pounds may cause physical harm, even if they are just playing. I'd rather not take that chance. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant. I’m rarely away from the house for more than 2-3 hours. I will always keep my eyes on your pet, even when the pet is roaming around the backyard. My backyard has a 9 ft. high, wooden fence. I also have a double gated entry, front-yard patio. I can also provide crates if needed. My 20 pound dog is 8yrs. old and he is very mellow & well behaved. He always welcomes another dog friend, anytime. We have a trusted routine for introducing new pet guests.

Im employed under contract basis and I’m working on a special project is which allows for very flexible availability. I’m available for feedings, play time, long walks or just to spend time with your animal. I love to cuddle or play indoors or outdoors
“Jennifer has been there when I needed her most. As a biologist with unpredictable fieldwork I appreciate it SO SO much!! I love the rover reviews she leaves after every check in and she takes great pictures too”
“Adam was great with our dog and cat. He made sure to get all the important details on our pets care and made sure they had everything they needed. Our pets were well taken care of while we were gone. Would recommend and plan to use Adam in the future!”
“Elizabeth was amazing! My skittish cats warmed up to her right away. She played with them & gave them extra treats. They’re very good motivated, so they’ll love her forever. Next time I’m out of time I’ll definitely call Elizabeth again”

“Melissa is the exact kind of person you can trust leaving your fur baby with. I felt very comfortable at her spacious tidy place and I know my puppy did too. She took him outside nearly every hour since he’s only 3 months. She sent updates with pictures and was flexible with pick up time since it was a group event I was attending. I will definitely request Melissa next time I’m in or around Berkeley :)”
“It can be hard to find sitters willing to help with challenging dogs, and I have a very sweet pup who, unfortunately, has some separation anxiety that means she can’t be left home alone at this point. Julia agreed to watch her for some daycare while my husband and I attended a family birthday party, and she also was great about setting up a Meet and Greet about a week beforehand so that Sable could be introduced to Julia and her own pups. Julia sent pictures and updates while we were away, and I appreciated her honesty when I asked how Sable did. It seems as though Sable was only mildly embarrassing and didn’t put Julia through too much hassle, so I’m very grateful to have someone trustworthy and kind to leave my pup with! Thank you so much!”
“Liz was a SUPER sitter for our girls! She had a few other dogs who she was also watching, which made me feel very comfortable - because that indicated others felt she was ALSO a great sitter! We will be re-booking her for tomorrow (Thanksgiving) - and will definitely keep her on our sitter list for when we travel to New Orleans.”
“Elizabeth was so sweet!! She made sure Moose was safe and gave him all the time he wanted to explore! He was only there for a short time but I would trust Elizabeth with him for much longer! She was a great find!”
About: It is with great pleasure that I offer my service as an outstanding dog walker and pet sitter. I bring professionalism, reliability, and deep love for animals to assure that your fur baby will always be treated as one of my own while they are in my care! I have spent decades caring for multiple dogs of every breed, size, age, and temperament, from energetic puppies and high-drive working breeds to senior dogs with health and mobility issues, as well as many anxious rescues. I consistently demonstrate calm competence combined with genuine affection. I have a keen understanding of canine body language and can sense subtle stress signals quickly, thereby allowing me to adjust playtime, walks and routines accordingly in the moment. Whether providing daily neighborhood walks, longer adventure outings, overnight stays, or extended boarding, I treat every dog as a special individual and am therefore able to offer them affection, love and support while maintaining a firm “leader of the pack” demeanor. I am retired and spend my full time at home with my 8 year old super friendly Brittany, Scout, going on long walks and to the dog park. I have had 20+ dogs of all sizes and breeds, from puppyhood through old age with various infirmities, and I want to dedicate my time to helping my clients feel 100% secure that their fur babies are being cared for as they would be at home with their own family! All babies get free run of my home, are allowed on furniture and I am always well stocked with toys, treats and various beds for lounging, should they so prefer. I have a large, fenced, shaded backyard and a doggie door so dogs have the option to go out any time but I also spend a lot of time outside under the gazebo watching them play.
“She was great! My dog needed a sitter for the day and she had no problems at all Cheyanne sent update pictures, had friends to play with, and was super happy way dropping off and picking up! Will definitely be returning!”
“Brittany did great with our 3 month old puppy! She was very patient with her and even taught her a new trick. Her dog, Jerry, was great with our puppy and we were glad she had another dog friend. We would absolutely use Brittany again in the future!”
“My husband Emile and I were very pleased and grateful for the care that Damaris and Jose’ provided our Emma! You can tell that they are animal lovers and treated her like their own! They have a lovely home and yard and sent pictures and videos of her stay. In the past, Emma has been cared for by family members. It’s nice to know that we have someone else turn to!”
“We seriously cannot recommend Madison enough. She was absolutely incredible with our boys! She made us so at ease when visiting from out of town and even got our senior dog to play 🥹 She went above and beyond with her updates & photos and I truly know they were so loved with her. Thank you so much Madison, our new go-to New Orleans sitter!!”
“Olivia has watched my young, energetic heeler puppy several times and is great! He’s had some joint issues and I really appreciated her keeping a close eye on him and being very communicative about how he’s doing. He’s always excited to see her and seems very happy being there. She has a nice outdoor area for dogs to play and seems genuinely excited to interact with them. I’d definitely recommend her for anyone needing someone to watch their pup.”
“Lisa was very sweet. You can tell how much she loves dogs. Our Anni did great, so I’m told. Since this was our first time using Rover we were nervous about leaving her. But after our experience with Lisa we will use Rover again. We are traveling across country and not every place is dog friendly. Thanks Lisa.”
About: I was raised with pets and have had a dog for over 30 years. Zara is my new sweetheart she's a shepherd husky mix and she's a year and a half old. I will only be dog sitting or dog boarding for ONE PUP at a time to give the utmost personalized attention.🐶♥️ I am retired and at this time I'm only offering drop off daycare and boarding Thursday through Sunday... We will only be outside in the cooler times of the day and can use the sprinkler if you allow. Your dog will be allowed on the couch and I am very good with giving specialized feeding as my dog has some healthy add-ons for her kibble daily. Again I will only be offering boarding and drop off dog sitting in my house... Thursday through Sunday personalized care for your dog only ♥️
“Katherine and Ethan were extremely responsive, kind, and flexible when we left our Siberian Husky, Charlie, with them for doggie daycare. Their dogs, Gus and Brady, wore Charlie out, and Charlie is psyched to spend more time with all of them.”
About: We are a small family with a super friendly lab-hound mix named Charlie. Charlie loves to play with other dogs and is generous with his space and toys. Our six-year-old daughter loves meeting new animals, too. Our home is fenced all around so the dogs have a circle run as well as the backyard and front porch to play and relax. We travel and have used Rover for our dog and we’re happy to be on the other side hosting and caring for your pet. I have volunteer experience with multiple animal shelters and experience caring for both healthy pets and animals with special needs. The other side of our double shotgun is currently unoccupied so we have additional space to separate dogs if need be.
“Thanks for watching my two guys while we attended graduation. The pictures you sent were very helpful and showed that they were having fun. Definitely appreciate it.”
“So thankful for Michael! We definitely lucked out in finding him to take care of our Toby while we were visiting NOLA. Toby loved spending the day with him, and was more than ready for bed when we picked him up in the evening lol would highly recommend and book again!”
“Wendy took such great care of my puppy. As a new pet owner, Wendy put my mind at ease and made sure I was comfortable and that Daisy felt safe and had a great time. I loved the updates and could tell Daisy didn’t miss me at all because she was having so much fun. We’ll definitely be back!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs at every life stage, from puppies to seniors, with a variety of breeds and temperaments. Right now, I have a small breed senior who is still fairly active. Please use the following link for $20 off your first booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/jonatb76705 I am typically at home, have a flexible schedule, and am available for drop-offs on short notice.

“Lori was prompt, and very communicative! She was so great meeting my timid little Shelby, and gave me great insight and resources for some future dog training. I would highly suggest her for anything in the future with people who are looking for a kind and communicative dog walker.”
About: My family has had at least one dog in our house since I was born. Everybody in my family has dogs. I have a few family members that rely on me to help them with their dogs when they need it. Everyone in my family treats their pets like they are humans and I do just the same! I am currently in between jobs so I’m available pretty much whenever. I do have my own dog at home so I prefer to not stay somewhere for a long, extended period of time. I am pretty flexible with that though so just ask me and I’ll let you know if it’s doable! I have a fenced in yard. I have a 14 year old rescue that just mainly stays to herself. There is a 1 year old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix now living here as well, under the care of someone else that’s not me, however she is very rambunctious with other dogs. I do not mind walking them around the neighborhood. In my family, we treat our dogs like they are humans and they are like our children!

I will always make sure to keep a short distance between me and your pup. Safety is my #1 priority.
“Elizabeth was a fantastic babysitter our big golden retriever pup while we were out of town. She was in constant contact with us, sent plenty of pictures and updates about their romps, meal breaks, water breaks etc. And she kept the house spotless. I will most definitely use her services again. Thanks Elizabeth!”

I can walk and come stay with them, I have experience in giving medication including shots. I am patient and kind even with unsure and uneasy animals. My current client says I have “animal energy” lol.
About: I have always lived with dogs since I was a small child. The last 8 years I have been house/dog sitting for a retired couple with multiple dogs. This past May I lost my 16 year old rat terrier- broke my heart. Shortly after a relative asked me to keep his chocolate lab for a week and I loved it. I miss having a dog at the house! I work full time currently from home until COVID pandemic is over. My office is 10 minutes away from home- lunch visits to the house would be made on days needed. I own my own home with a fenced in yard next door to a empty lot. I have no children do it would be just me at the house.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I love every dog like they are my own. All dogs need to know is that they are loved and cared for. I’m currently working from home. It’s a slow time in my work schedule so I have a lot of time on my hands. I have a fenced in yard. I have 1 dog currently but have had several dogs over my lifetime. I love them so very much.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, starting as a side hustle during PT school and currently for friends and family while I’m studying for my boards exam. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I bring a calm, patient approach to every pup I meet. With my physical therapy background, I’m especially attentive to mobility, comfort, and safe handling, which helps senior dogs and anxious pups feel at ease. Whether we’re playing, walking, or relaxing, your dog gets warm, reliable care you can trust. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I study during the day on weekdays, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop‑ins, and time with your pup. On weekends, I work PRN at a hospital on Sunday mornings, but still keep space open for afternoon or evening visits. I love having dogs woven into my week — it’s a fun, grounding break from studying and a chance to bring some joy and movement into my day. Your pet gets reliable attention, consistent care, and a calm, playful presence whenever they’re with me. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress‑free. I follow your feeding schedule, walk times, and any house rules so you and your pet feel completely at ease. I give plenty of playtime, attention, and companionship, and I always make sure water bowls stay full, any messes are cleaned up, and your home is well respected.

Hospitality professional taking the month of July off and able to offer my services in Metairie, Kenner, New Orleans I pay lots of attention to pets when on the clock and at home. I also have reliable transportation. I can provide drop in, walking, and overnight stays for the next few weeks
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a kid, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with senior and younger pets. I cared for my own dog in her later years when she developed back leg problems. I helped her move around the house, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her lots of love and patience every day. I additionally took care of my other dog in her early months waking up multiple times nightly to calm her down. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m confident in handling all kinds of needs. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, so I’m able to care for pets whenever needed. Pet care easily fits my routine, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pets specific needs and schedule.your pets comfort and routine will always come first. I believe pets are most comfortable and relaxed in their own home, which is why I only offer care in the clients space. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect in return. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: I grew up with dogs at my parents' house and currently care for my own 4-year-old cat, so I'm comfortable with both. I also regularly watch my friends and family’s cats when they're out of town, which means I'm used to following feeding routines and making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I'm patient with young pets and attentive to senior care needs too. As a nursing student with a flexible schedule, I can give your pets consistent, reliable attention. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I'm currently unemployed and have a flexible schedule. I'm starting school on August 17th, but outside of classes and studying, I'll still have plenty of availability. I won't be able to work on Fridays or Sundays. Mondays and Tuesdays I'm free around 3pm, and Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays I'm free all day. Just let me know what works best for you! I offer pet sitting and drop-in visits. In your home, I'll follow your routine feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and any meds. I'll keep things tidy and send updates so you know your pet's doing well. In my home, I'd provide a safe, supervised space with plenty of attention, though I'd focus on pet sitting at your place since I have my own cat. Either way, your pet gets consistent care and love while you're away.
About: Over the past year and a half, I’ve fostered multiple dogs and cats through Palm Beach Animal Care and Control and Peggy Adams, along with participating in many doggy day out programs. This has given me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I’m flexible and able to plan my schedule around walks, feedings, and check-ins. I’m used to caring for animals consistently from my experience fostering and living with pets, so making time for them is something I prioritize. Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I’m reliable and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they need. I prioritize safety and comfort above everything. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I keep a clean and secure environment, stay attentive to their behavior, and make sure they feel calm and safe at all times. I’m respectful of your home and will keep you updated so you always know your pet is in good hands.

I do not accept more than 2-3 dogs at a time. ((I USUALLY only schedule ONE family's pet(s) at the same time, especially if there’s a new dog client)). I always put in a great deal of consideration, before scheduling more than one family's pet at the same time. My home is very spacious, clean, well-organized & safe. I have a large, gated/enclosed & secure, backyard. The dogs that stay with me are ALWAYS supervised. My eyes will be on your pet constantly, while we play at your home or mine, both inside & outside. Allow me to love & care for your precious pet, while you take care of you. Let's discuss your needs. I do offer one free meet & greet. Other than dogs, I also have experience caring for: Cats, Birds, Bunnies, Turtles, Lizards, Snakes, Hamsters, Fish, Frogs, Chickens & Plants. Most of my pet guests are small, therefore any extra frisky, playful pet, over 30 pounds may cause physical harm, even if they are just playing. I'd rather not take that chance. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant. I’m rarely away from the house for more than 2-3 hours. I will always keep my eyes on your pet, even when the pet is roaming around the backyard. My backyard has a 9 ft. high, wooden fence. I also have a double gated entry, front-yard patio. I can also provide crates if needed. My 20 pound dog is 8yrs. old and he is very mellow & well behaved. He always welcomes another dog friend, anytime. We have a trusted routine for introducing new pet guests.

“Jon was absolutely amazing with our pups.. he would send photos on a daily in addition to providing our old man his meds. We understand that our younger pup has some issues getting along with others but he was able to keep the peace with all the pups and that's a bit of a feat because she can be ALOT. Our littles were happy to come home but looked just as they did when we left them, plump and happy! We will absolutely be using Jon again for our next vacation!!”

She sent daily updates of Rosie Posie having the time of her life from playing in the back yard, walking the neighborhood, or getting cozy with the humans of the house inside. I am thoroughly impressed with Madison’s amount of quality time spent with my pet and will definitely be using her again in the near future.”

About: It is with great pleasure that I offer my service as an outstanding dog walker and pet sitter. I bring professionalism, reliability, and deep love for animals to assure that your fur baby will always be treated as one of my own while they are in my care! I have spent decades caring for multiple dogs of every breed, size, age, and temperament, from energetic puppies and high-drive working breeds to senior dogs with health and mobility issues, as well as many anxious rescues. I consistently demonstrate calm competence combined with genuine affection. I have a keen understanding of canine body language and can sense subtle stress signals quickly, thereby allowing me to adjust playtime, walks and routines accordingly in the moment. Whether providing daily neighborhood walks, longer adventure outings, overnight stays, or extended boarding, I treat every dog as a special individual and am therefore able to offer them affection, love and support while maintaining a firm “leader of the pack” demeanor. I am retired and spend my full time at home with my 8 year old super friendly Brittany, Scout, going on long walks and to the dog park. I have had 20+ dogs of all sizes and breeds, from puppyhood through old age with various infirmities, and I want to dedicate my time to helping my clients feel 100% secure that their fur babies are being cared for as they would be at home with their own family! All babies get free run of my home, are allowed on furniture and I am always well stocked with toys, treats and various beds for lounging, should they so prefer. I have a large, fenced, shaded backyard and a doggie door so dogs have the option to go out any time but I also spend a lot of time outside under the gazebo watching them play.
“Shannon was amazing! She took great care of our dogs, was very kind and communicative, and sent us plenty of updates. Would highly recommend and would book with her again.”
“Anna was wonderfull host! She kept in touch throughout Archie’s stay, but not too much so I was able to enjoy my vacation. I would definitely recommend you trusting Anna with your fur family.”
About: I have been having pets pretty much my whole life. I grew up with two cats and two dogs. I have my own 2 cats now. I love my babies they are my whole I do work full time. I feed my cats twice a day. Once in the morning and then once in the evening. They also get snacks throughout the evening and during the day when I’m not at work. I have a fenced in yard. My cats are inside cats but of course my dogs go in the back yard. I do have bulldogs so they don’t stay out long, it’s too hot for them in the summer. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats myself and they all get along.
About: Mine was a dog family. My parents showed Chow Chows and Bichon Frisés at dog shows around the country with me in tow as a junior handler grooming, training, and caring for our dogs. In college, rather than wait tables, I worked as a kennel assistant and then as a veterinarian assistant during post-grad, spending weekends caring for medical boarders, administering meds and keeping lonely, isolated dogs company. I’m a deeply attached and passionate rescue advocate and animal-lover. My pets have all been mostly large, lovable mixed-breed dogs and second-chance stories like Betsey. Professionally, I have 20+ years of experience as a copywriter and creative strategist. Before starting Betsey & Julie Walk Dogs, I spent the past year as a Dog Handler at Pawlins Day Care — under the tutelage of all kinds of dogs. I’m a freelance writer and I work from home. I share this home with Betsey, an incredibly sweet five-year-old Labrador Retriever. I’m available and actively involved in your dog’s enrichment and overall experience. I’m active and attentive. Betsey and I are affectionate and accommodating. We love walks, parks, toys, treats, and cuddling. We think your dog will love spending time with us.
