“Jason did a great job watching our dog for the past 3 days! She got tons of play time cried when she had to leave. We are excited to book with Jason again in the future!”
“Lauren and Cody are the best. Our dogs love them and the kids so much. I’m so glad we have someone we trust to leave them with when we can’t bring them with us, it makes traveling a lot more relaxing.”
“Nicolette was awesome. This was my first time using rover and she made me feel really at ease about leaving Marleigh! She sent pictures throughout her stay. I would definitely use her 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.”
“Keith was great with our 3 dogs. Communication is great. He sent us videos and pictures during our dogs' stay with him. Also, his backyard is very suitable for dogs. Highly recommend.”
About: I grew up with a Yorkie and now care for him in his senior years with doggy dementia, which has taught me the importance of patience, gentle routines, and creating a calm, comforting environment. Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays I get out of class for 11 and am free for the rest of the day. Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little tougher for me due to my classes being scattered throughout the day. I enjoy taking them on walks, giving them baths, playing with them, cuddling with them, feeding and taking them out, and just having an emotional support animal around me!
“Johanna and her family took excellent care of my dog, Beanie! She provided updates throughout my trip so I could see how well Beanie was doing. I felt almost guilty when I picked Beanie up, because it was so obvious that she’d developed a real bond with Johanna and her dogs. I highly recommend Johanna as a sitter. She is caring and communicative, and your furry family member will have a wonderful time!”
“First time using Rover and I found the app easy to search for finding a sitter. I loved Angela C for taking such good care of my fur baby! She stayed in touch and sent pictures to me every few days! She was very consciencous about making sure he got all his meds. What a relief to know he was taken such good care of and joined her own dogs. THANKS ANGELA”
“Lauren accepted a last minute request to keep our Pom overnight. Lauren is always accommodating and very friendly. She treats our dog, Meryl, like she is her own. Lauren sent pics throughout her stay showing Meryl relaxed, playing outside, interacting with other dogs, and on walks. Lauren is a pro at caring for dogs.”
“Our dog Marley tends to be anxious in new situations since she was a shelter dog, but seemed comfortable in Amanda’s home the moment we walked in for drop off. It made me feel much better about leaving our newly adopted girl for over a week! She sent updates and pictures often while we were on vacation. Would not hesitate to use Amanda again for future dog sitting and will recommend her to my friends!”
“Emery was wonderful, communicated a ton, took upon herself to brush her daily and take her to get her nails trimmed. So helpful and so kind and accommodating!! Highly recommend and we will be back!”
“Absolutely love Janelle! She stepped in and helped us out even tho Theo wasn’t feeling too good and she helped make sure her got his medications on time and was eating well! Theo loves her and knows her home from the moment we pull in!:)”
“Michael is my go-to dog sitter. He is a wonderful caretaker. He sends pictures and videos with his regular updates. My dog gets so excited whenever he sees Michael. It is such an assurance to know that our sweet boy is getting so much love and such great care while we are away. I HIGHLY recommend Michael. I'm sure that you will be as happy with him as we have been.”
“Alayja was an amazing sitter. Even with our dog being nervous for his first visit she made sure he was comfortable and took care of him as if her own. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the stay and even gave him a bath before returning.”
“Jaci became a second family to our girls while we were on our honeymoon! We are so grateful and will definitely be sending our girls back to her when we visit family again. : ) So many updates and even a happy birthday postcard from the girls! 5 stars!!!!!”

“Taylor was so sweet and wonderful! Went and spent time with my sweet kitty and sent plenty of pictures! Would suggest her to anyone. She was very informative beforehand too.”
“Jordan did a great job taking care of my 4 kitties and feeding them twice a day + litter scooping. She followed all my instructions perfectly and sent informative notes and photos after every visit. She's a very busy lady, so a somewhat flexible time-schedule from the pet owner would probably be the best fit, i.e. "morning" instead of 8am on the dot. I really appreciated her help!”
“Katie was awesome as always! We booked her for a drop-in this time and she made sure Toast got all of her energy out by playing in the backyard, fed her, and gave her medication as instructed. Toast loves it when she comes to visit!”
About: As someone who has worked with a variety of domesticated felines, I’ve learned that the last thing a cat wants is a sitter. Lol. Most just want someone who can scoop their box and open their can of food. I’m a professional in that area. I’m also good at reading kitty behavioral cues. I can usually tell if a feline is going to be my friend or not. I know when to give them their space. I’ve watched kitties who are social and some that are shy. I’m pretty good with a laser and always enjoy playing with or sitting with a sweet cat or cats. I can also prepare special diets and give insulin shots. The Kitties always train me well!
“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!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience growing up around cats and understanding their unique personalities and needs. I know that every cat is different—some love attention and playtime, while others prefer a calm environment and their own space. I take the time to learn each cat’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owner is away. My goal is to provide patient, reliable care and make the experience as stress-free as possible for both cats and their owners.
“Katriana was attentive, caring and punctual. She took amazing care of my fur babies and went above and beyond giving them extra love and attention. I loved the pictures giving extra peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were gone. We will definitely use her again! Great job and thank you ❤️”
“Awesome as ever. Kacey watched out two cats while we were gone for 10 days. She’s super reliable, respectful of the house, gives great communication and is great with the cats. Will keep rebooking!”
About: I worked as a shift lead at a doggy daycare called Dogtopia for almost 4 years. I have received training on how to deal with different breeds of dogs. I have worked with a variety of breeds, ages, and sizes and have a lot of experience in training behavior. I have also dealt with up to 30 dogs in one day care room during solo shifts. I have owned a dog for 12 years back at my house in Virginia, and currently do not live with him. I am also very organized and reliable. I will always be on time or early to appointments! I currently work full-time from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. I am available to host overnight dogs and can provide walks or drop-in visits before and after my work hours. I also have greater availability on evenings and weekends, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. I am also available most weekends. I am very friendly with new animals and am able to learn their behaviors quickly. I am not harsh when trying to correct their behavior, but will make sure they don’t try to misbehave.
About: I’ve been caring for cats my entire life, both indoor and outdoor. I love and have fun creating enrichment activities that your cat will love, too. My own kitty has special needs that require medication, so I’m comfortable with giving both pills and inhaler meds! If your cat has been properly exposed to it, I can trim nails too. My experience with kitties ranges from 6 weeks - end of life care; I’m here for everyone!
“Kaitlyn was fantastic! She asked a bunch of questions early on to understand my dog's needs and kept me informed of concerns that came up during the drop-in visits. I highly recommend her as a sitter, especially if you have a large breed dog. I will definitely schedule her for future drop-ins.”
About: I’m a vet tech student with a deep passion for animals. I am willing to accommodate a vast variety of pets in all breeds and sizes! I’m currently available part time because of school. I guarantee your pet will love being in my company as much as I will love being in theirs.
“Jada was absolutely fantastic! She took such wonderful care of our dogs while we were gone & made our vacation so much more enjoyable because I wasn't worrying at all! Would recommend her a million times over!”

“Jason was great with Bowie! So glad we were able to find him in a pinch. Jason kept in great communication with us, and it was clear Bowie really enjoyed his stay.”
About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I have 3 fur babies who are spoiled and well-loved, Mylo the Siberian Husky (2 years old), Lily the sweet mix breed rescue (6 years old), and Baxter the Dachshund Beagle rescue (7 years old) and 1 fur nephew, Rufus the Corgi (3 years old) who frequently stays with his cousins and auntie to play. We love the dog park, long walks (Mylo especially), and couch snuggles/naps. They enjoy chasing each other in the backyard and to birdwatch/neighborhood watch from the living room windows. I have experience with many breeds and all ages. Having two rescues myself I am also comfortable with rescue dogs who may need more time to warm up and trust you. I also love cats and have always had one-I just don’t currently have one. Fur babies aren’t just pets-they are family. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I am available for walks, drop ins, and boarding any day of the week or weekend. I can come to you! I have a fenced yard and 3 fur babies who are dog friendly and love to play! I am happy to use crates if that is preferred. While I don’t mind your dog staying here with us, I am also able to come to your dog in your home if that is more comfortable.
“I have never used a dog sitting service before so I was very nervous but Jennifer made me feel very comfortable leaving my puppy with her & he had a great time! He came home well taken care of & worn out, which was awesome. Already planning to use her services again!”
“Lauren has a nice house and good sized back yard to accommodate her Rover dogs. This is our first time using Lauren. She and her daughter made Meryl feel comfortable and showered her with attention and affection. Lauren had great communication with us. We had a meeting to introduce Meryl to them day before our dog sitting appointment that went very well. We want to use Lauren again soon for boarding. I highly recommend her for your dog.”
“Robin was wonderful! So responsive and communicative. I have never used a dog sitter before but I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with Robin in her home. She sent photo updates frequently and sent my puppy home with some goodies. We loved Robin!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old, and I also have a dog of my own (Millie:)) and my Shih Tzu baby Rico I’ve helped cared for back home. I give the same care , love , patience and attentiveness to every dog ! As I know it is important for your dog to feel safe and secure away from your home 💕 Since I do have a dog of my own , the necessities are apart of my everyday routine! I am in college full time however I am free everyday after 1pm . (Tuesdays , Thursdays and the weekend I am free all day:)) I am also very flexible so please don’t hesitate to ask questions ! Please note that I can not host more than one dog at a time due to me being a smaller space. Your fur baby will feel very comfy here ! My girl Millie has adapted to our relaxed routine which involves her feeding and bathroom schedule along play time and cuddles . We take trips to the public dog park as well as my apartment one. We also have plenty of play time inside . The same goes for your baby!
“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 have cared for my own dogs since I was very little, and I currently have three at home! I value play time and fun experiences for your pups! Reliability, accuracy, patience, and trustworthiness is a guarantee! I am currently a student at LSU. I have classes every weekday from mid-mornings to afternoons. On most weekends I’m free to provide care anytime. Overall, communication with the parents about what their pets needs is the most important step in giving excellent pet care. I can ensure that any pet under my wing will be safe and happy.
About: I love dogs, and have been around them since I was a baby. I’ve taken care of puppies, old dogs, big dogs, and all other kinds. Corgis are the greatest dog in the world, prove me wrong with yours. Currently in school at LSU graduating in December, and I am free to tend to your dog any time of day for you. I only have 1 class to schedule around so no issues there! Have a nice big yard completely fenced in, in a nice quiet neighborhood in the middle of BR. Welcome to kennel or let your dog roam free as needed.
About: I believe what makes me a great pet sitter is my lifelong experience with all types of animals. I have a genuine love for pets and strive to make things easier for pet owners in every way I can! I am a College Student @LSU(!), looking to care for your furry friends; I have an odd schedule however I am great at communicating and staying dedicated to arrangements! I am open to recurring care & one day care needs! I accept same day bookings and cancellations as well. I'm looking to make your time away from your animals as stress free as possible! I respect all rules in any household regarding pets and personal items. I do not wish to overstep in any way; I am here solely to assist with your pet's needs. And to be completely honest I’m too worried about loving your furry friends to be doing all that!
About: My family and I have always had multiple dogs raised from puppies to full grown dogs that I helped to care for. This includes walking, bathing, feeding, playing fetch, trimming nails and taking them to the vet. I have also taken care of our farm animals daily needs. I work part time and my day to day schedule is very flexible. I am open to same day sitting jobs if needed. I am available to take dog to the vet as well. I have one friendly dog that loves furry company. I can accommodate needs of sitting location, depending on client’s preference. I have toys, crates, treats and dog beds to ensure comfort and needs are met.
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.
About: Hi! I can’t wait to be introduced to your furry friends. After many years of looking after my family and friends’ pets, I’m well prepared for various types of pet personalities. I began pet sitting on Rover in 2021, but took a break after moving and life events. I’m thrilled to get started again! I have two pets of my own: a cat named Kitty and a mini dachshund named Benji. I take pride in my love for animals and I’m excited to begin working with you to provide your furry friends a safe and loving human to look after them😊 I’m currently working remotely as an Actuarial Analyst. I can provide thorough care throughout the day at my home, or visit/drop-in to your home before work, after work, or on my lunch break. I also would be able to work from your home if that works best for you! :) I’m able to adapt to any routine requested. At my home, I have a fenced in yard that my dog, Benji, loves to sunbathe in throughout the day! I do have a friendly cat, but he’s very shy and will stay in one of his numerous hiding spots or his gated, out-of-reach area when strangers come over. At your home, I will be very respectful of your area and remain focused on your furry friends’ needs.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up with pets taught me responsibility, patience, and the joy that comes from truly understanding an animal’s needs. As an adult, I’ve continued that commitment through responsible pet ownership, giving my own pets a loving, structured, and enriching home. My foundation in animal care goes even deeper thanks to my years in 4‑H, where I gained hands‑on experience in dog husbandry. From training and grooming to understanding canine behavior and proper health routines, 4‑H gave me practical skills that I still use every day. It shaped the way I approach pet care—with intention, respect, and a focus on safety and well‑being. Whether it’s daily walks, structured play, or simply offering a calm, comforting presence, I bring a lifetime of experience and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Your dog isn’t just another booking to me—they’re a member of the family, and I treat them with the same attention and affection I give my own. Working from home allows me to build pet care into the rhythm of my day in a way that feels effortless and intentional. Mornings start with a quick check‑in, fresh water, and a walk to get everyone moving. Throughout the workday, I’m able to offer consistent companionship — whether that’s a midday potty break, a play session between meetings, or simply being a calm presence while I work. I can keep an eye on their behavior, maintain feeding schedules, and respond quickly to their needs. Afternoon breaks often turn into enrichment time: a walk, a puzzle toy, or a little training practice to keep their minds engaged. Even as I wrap up my workday, pets stay part of the flow — evening walks, dinner routines, and plenty of attention. Working from home means your pet gets steady care, structure, and affection woven naturally into my day, not squeezed in around it. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs (74 lb. silver lab + 35 lb. terrier mix). My goal is to keep your pets routine consistent while providing a clean, safe and calm environment. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal rhythm. I follow your feeding, walking, and medication schedules exactly as you outline, and I make sure they get the same level of attention and affection they’re used to. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: As a pet owner myself, I have experience with how to keep feeding routines, administer meds, walks, playtime, potty breaks, grooming and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m currently working remotely and part time. This leaves me plenty of time to care for pets on weekdays and weekends, throughout the day. Early mornings and late evenings are no problem. We have a private fenced in yard for those that need ample activity. Pets are cared for in the home but also have their own room for when they need a quiet corner.
“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 pet sat for friends and family for years and have been walking neighbors’ dogs for a few months. I have a large dog myself so I can be relied on to walk and care for large dogs. I currently keep a neighbor’s dog for doggy daycare about 2-3 hours during the day. They LOVE to play with each other and I have plenty of enrichment toys and treats to keep them occupied. I currently keep a dog for doggy daycare from 12:00-2:00 on weekdays, but my schedule is flexible. I am available during weekdays for walks and check ins from 8:00 am-6:00 pm. I am also available for weekday and weekend boarding and house sitting. I have a fenced in backyard and a fairly open floor plan offering a lot of play space. My dog and the dog I keep during the day are both very sweet but can be quite rambunctious at times. They are both well trained and very friendly with people and other dogs. Before moving to Baton Rouge, I used to own my own business cleaning houses and have a lot of experience working in other people’s homes. I understand how difficult it can be letting someone new into your home, especially when you may not be there. I am a great communicator, very trustworthy, and have a flexible schedule. I often send pictures or videos of pets to keep you updated and let you know your fur baby is safe and happy!
“Annabel is a fantastic dog walker! She is always punctual, reliable, and very easy to work with. She’s incredibly caring and sweet with my dog, and it’s clear that she genuinely loves and understands animals. She’s attentive, patient, communicative, and makes me feel completely comfortable knowing my dog is in good hands. I really appreciate how dependable she is and the care and attention she gives on every walk. I would absolutely recommend Annabel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

I enjoy taking them on walks, giving them baths, playing with them, cuddling with them, feeding and taking them out, and just having an emotional support animal around me!
“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!”
About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. Having grown up around animals and cared for pets for family and friends, I’m comfortable handling different personalities, routines, and needs. I understand that every animal is unique, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel happiest and most comfortable. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure pets feel safe and loved while their owners are away. Whether that means sticking to a specific schedule, providing extra playtime, or simply offering companionship, I always strive to create a positive experience for both pets and their owners. As a recent high school graduate, I currently have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m able to give pets the attention, companionship, and care they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine and make your pet’s well-being a priority. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection. I also keep the home clean and tidy, follow any specific care instructions, and provide updates so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for.
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. I can’t wait to meet your pets! It is already a part of my daily routine to care for my own pets so I don’t mind a couple more! I work full time but my schedule is super flexible. I am generally available on weekends as well. I offer services like cat sitting, dog sitting, dog walking, horse chores, and can care for exotic pets as well. My own pets health and safety are my top priority, and I always ensure the same for my clients.
About: What truly sets me apart is my deep understanding of pet care, built on both personal experience and professional exposure. Having a senior dog who requires anxiety medication, I am exceptionally comfortable and skilled in administering medications and providing gentle reassurance to anxious pets. You can trust that your furry family member will receive the calm and attentive care they need while you're away. My background extends beyond typical pet ownership. My experience working in the quarantine building at the NC Aquarium provided me with invaluable hands-on exposure to the specific needs of a diverse range of animals, from reptiles and fish to birds and invertebrates. This unique experience means I'm well-equipped to care for even your more unconventional companions! My experience extends beyond typical pet ownership. My unique background working in the quarantine building at the NC Aquarium provided me with valuable insights into animal health and well-being. This hands-on exposure, combined with my personal experience caring for my own cats with specific medical needs, ensures that your feline friend will receive knowledgeable, attentive, and loving care tailored to their individual requirements. Furthermore, having raised my senior dog from a puppy, I am confident and experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, from energetic youngsters to beloved seniors. My commitment to animal welfare is further demonstrated through my volunteer work at my local animal shelter, where I dedicate my time to helping animals in need. I genuinely love all creatures and am passionate about providing them with the best possible care. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, offering a consistent and attentive experience for your beloved companion. As a college student with a flexible schedule (typically around two classes per day), I have dedicated time slots throughout the day to provide the care your pet needs. My mornings are often free, allowing for early walks, playtime, and feeding. My mid-day break provides an excellent opportunity for check-ins, potty breaks, and extra attention. In the evenings, I have ample time for longer walks, cuddles, and ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable before bedtime. This flexibility isn't just about having free time; it means I can tailor my schedule to your pet's specific needs and preferences, ensuring they receive consistent care, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. You can be confident that your furry friend will have a reliable and engaging routine while in my care. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to maintain their familiar routine and ensure they feel safe and secure in their own environment. I understand the importance of consistency and following your specific instructions meticulously. My care includes: Following Your Instructions: Adhering to your pet's feeding schedule, medication administration, exercise routine, and any other specific needs.

Regular Updates: Providing you with photos and updates on your pet's well-being so you can have peace of mind. Respecting Your Home: Treating your home with the utmost care and leaving it as I found it. I am dedicated to providing reliable, trustworthy, and loving care for your pets in the comfort of their own home.
About: Hi! My name is Mackenzie and I’m looking forward to taking care of your pet(s). I have experience working as a vet assistant in an animal clinic and kennel. I also attend Louisiana State University as a pre-vet student. Alongside my work experience, I have grown up my whole life with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs. About 3 years ago, I adopted a senile dachshund from the shelter. He had many health problems and from working in the clinic and kennel I am very used to administering medicine. I also don’t mind cleaning up any messes your pet makes as I am very used to it. I am no doubt an animal lover and I’m looking forward to gaining more experience while working with your pets and taking care of them! I already have a part time job that I work in the evenings, 2-3x a week, but I am graduating soon and my availability will be very open during the day. I don’t work as much during the week, so after school I am usually pretty open. What days I am available does vary every week, but once again I only work about 2-3 nights during the week. I am definitely a workaholic and I make myself pretty available! After school, I have a pretty set schedule with how I care for my animals. I have a huge fenced in yard that my dogs run around in. I have a little fence blocking off my cats from my dogs so everyone has their own little area and my guinea pigs are kept in their own cages on tables in their own little area. All of my pets are in great health and not to mention they are all rescues!

About: Hi! My name is Jason and have taken care of either my own dog or my neighbor's dogs ever since I was 10 years old. While I don't have a fenced in yard, I live right on my neighborhood's greenspace, my neighborhood has sidewalks and lakes for great long walks, and I live 5 minutes away from the dog park. I love to take dogs on walks, play fetch, and tug of war. I also enjoy being a couch potato if your dog is more laid back. I have the ability to either work from my home or from my office. When watching a dog, I can be home all day, or if the dog is able, I can only work a half day at the office and the rest from the house. Either way, your loved one won't be alone for more than 4 hours if they are able. If not, no worries, I enjoy working from home! I'm a single guy with no kids, so it's just me at the house which allows me to give your pet all the attention it needs. While I don't have a fenced in yard, I live right on my neighborhood's giant greenspace, my neighborhood has sidewalks and two lakes for great long walks, and I live 5 minutes away from the dog park. I'm an athletic guy, so if your pup needs to be active and enjoys playing and running, I'm your guy! I also enjoy being a couch potato if your dog is more laid back.

I guarantee your pet will love being in my company as much as I will love being in theirs. Im a full time student so I have classes in the morning Monday-Thursday other than that your baby is most like to be hanging out with me watching tv or riding around the city. My yard has a fenced backyard for day time play and they will sleep in a pet crate at night. Playtime is supervised to make sure all the babies play nice!
“Jada has walked and kept Duke on multiple occasions. I never have to worry when he is with her as I know she will take great care of him. He also loves to play with her dog, Balto!”
About: I am an animal obsessed graduate looking to fill my free time taking care of pets while I am on the hunt for a job. I’ve had my fair share of caring for dogs of all sizes and cats too! My pets are my family, and I will treat yours with the same respect. I know you want your pets left in the best care while you are away, so I am able to come do a meet and greet if preferred! Fun fact: I just went through a training program on how to better understand dog body language when they interact with other dogs and how to handle emergency situations when they arise! I am currently working part time and taking a couple courses for my Master's degree, so I have plenty of time (and energy) to care for your lovely pet. When I house sit, I will have to leave for a few hours a day for either class or work, but will spend ample time with your four-legged friend! In your home, full respect will be given to both your pets and your home. Walks and drop ins will not be spent browsing my phone, your four-legged friend has my full attention! Drop in visits can be tailored to the needs of your pet, and walks can be as active as your pup likes (I like to get those steps in). If your pup has decent leash manners and would like to take a run, I can provide that as well.

“Lauren and Cody are the best. Our dogs love them and the kids so much. I’m so glad we have someone we trust to leave them with when we can’t bring them with us, it makes traveling a lot more relaxing.”
“Keith was great with our 3 dogs. Communication is great. He sent us videos and pictures during our dogs' stay with him. Also, his backyard is very suitable for dogs. Highly recommend.”
About: I grew up with a Yorkie and now care for him in his senior years with doggy dementia, which has taught me the importance of patience, gentle routines, and creating a calm, comforting environment. Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays I get out of class for 11 and am free for the rest of the day. Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little tougher for me due to my classes being scattered throughout the day. I enjoy taking them on walks, giving them baths, playing with them, cuddling with them, feeding and taking them out, and just having an emotional support animal around me!
“Johanna and her family took excellent care of my dog, Beanie! She provided updates throughout my trip so I could see how well Beanie was doing. I felt almost guilty when I picked Beanie up, because it was so obvious that she’d developed a real bond with Johanna and her dogs. I highly recommend Johanna as a sitter. She is caring and communicative, and your furry family member will have a wonderful time!”
“Lauren accepted a last minute request to keep our Pom overnight. Lauren is always accommodating and very friendly. She treats our dog, Meryl, like she is her own. Lauren sent pics throughout her stay showing Meryl relaxed, playing outside, interacting with other dogs, and on walks. Lauren is a pro at caring for dogs.”
“Our dog Marley tends to be anxious in new situations since she was a shelter dog, but seemed comfortable in Amanda’s home the moment we walked in for drop off. It made me feel much better about leaving our newly adopted girl for over a week! She sent updates and pictures often while we were on vacation. Would not hesitate to use Amanda again for future dog sitting and will recommend her to my friends!”
“Emery was wonderful, communicated a ton, took upon herself to brush her daily and take her to get her nails trimmed. So helpful and so kind and accommodating!! Highly recommend and we will be back!”
“Alayja was an amazing sitter. Even with our dog being nervous for his first visit she made sure he was comfortable and took care of him as if her own. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the stay and even gave him a bath before returning.”
“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.”
“An great experience all around. Jennifer was so easy and responsive through the entire time. She took time to really get to know my dog beforehand to ensure it was a good fit for everyone. My dog seemed so comfortable with her and I really appreciate her caring attitude. I definitely will use her again and again and highly recommend her!”
“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”
“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.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs through my previous work assisting a sitter on Rover. During that time, I helped with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure each dog felt safe and comfortable in their environment. I worked with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which taught me how to adjust my care to meet each animal's unique needs. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attention are when it comes to animals. 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. I'm also comfortable following specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special care requests. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being at all times. As a college student with a very flexible schedule, I'm able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. My availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays without feeling rushed. Because of this flexibility, I can adjust to your pet's routine and make sure they get consistent care, attention, and companionship whenever they need it. 1 understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always prioritize safety by staying attentive, following instructions carefully, and making sure pets are secure and comfortable in their environment. You can count on me to provide dependable, respectful care while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve.
“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.”
About: As a pet owner myself, I have experience with how to keep feeding routines, administer meds, walks, playtime, potty breaks, grooming and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m currently working remotely and part time. This leaves me plenty of time to care for pets on weekdays and weekends, throughout the day. Early mornings and late evenings are no problem. We have a private fenced in yard for those that need ample activity. Pets are cared for in the home but also have their own room for when they need a quiet corner.
“Robin was wonderful with our girl. She clearly loves animals and took great care of Marley. She diligently sent us pictures and videos which allowed us to relax on our few days away.”
“Ashley was a great sitter for our pups. She was very friendly, had a clean and well maintained home, she communicated well throughout their stay. I wouldnt hesitate to let her watch them again.”
