Thank you so much”

About: I have had and taken care of pets of all kinds (but especially dogs) since I was very young! I’ve had experience with puppies, young dogs, and older dogs, male and female. Even now I help take care of relative’s dogs and I love it. I feed, watch, walk, and make sure they’re happy! I stay in good shape and walk / workout every day, so I am able to handle larger breeds if needed! I live near LSU lakes which is a great place for walking, I usually go around the lakes when I go for walks, so I am familiar with the area well. It’s a great experience for people and pets! I’m pretty flexible and usually available for any activities! I am going to be taking 2 online classes this summer which requires me to be home, it works out well to watch some sweet pups! I do not have any dogs or cats within my home currently. Any pet works just fine to be inside or outside! The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all fairly large open spaces and connected together.
About: I’ve been caring for animals from a very young age, growing up on a farm where tending to a wide variety of animals was part of my everyday life. That experience gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and the importance of consistent, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve become comfortable working with dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies who require patience and structure, to senior dogs who benefit from a gentler, more attentive approach. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs and am confident in following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. I’m especially mindful with anxious or shy dogs, taking the time to build trust and create a calm, reassuring environment so they feel safe and secure. I am currently working full-time less than 5 minutes from home. I feed my dogs and let them out around 7:00 am before work. My husband is home with our dogs until 2:00 pm before he leaves for work. I arrive home around 5:00 pm and I spend most of my evening in the backyard if possible. I have a fenced in yard and a basket full of toys. I have 2 dogs of my own that enjoy playing with others, so your pet is sure to be in good company.
“Christie was very responsive. She sent daily pics of my pup. This was my first time leaving my pup and she made me feel comfortable. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
“Bailey was great with Oliver. She answered all my questions during the meet & greet and she provided updates for him as well as photos. I was very happy to not worry about him while I was away.”
“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”
“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.”

“On time and very thorough, plus my animals loved Katie from the very moment they met her!! If I ever need animal care again I’ll definitely re-book if she’s available 😊”
“Awesome as always! Kacey is super reliable and does great with our cats. She is very respectful of the house and gives great updates. Will continue booking her for all our trips!”
“Taylor was able to sit last minute for me! Everything was super smooth and she was very reliable! She answered any questions I had and did a great job watching my baby! I will definitely book her again!”
“Johanna was wonderful. She was caring, responsible, timely and took great care of cat. She is not usually comfortable with strangers, but took to Johanna immediately. That is the best recommendation I can think of.”
“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!”
“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!”
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!
About: I have a cat of my own and she is like family to me. I have experience with lots of different types of personalities in cats! My cat is a shy girl so I’m able to approach cats in a calm and welcoming way. Ready to meet your cat!
“Savannah was amazing in taking care of my cat, Kitty! She sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos and can see that Kitty is well entertained and happy. She’s very detailed oriented and asks all the right questions to make sure Kitty’s needs are well taken care of. Savannah is a true cat whisperer, highly recommend!”
“Ava is an amazing dog-sitter and walker… she cared for my dogs like they were her own. She is punctual and made sure my dogs were given care, attention, exercise and entertainment while I was away.”
About: I’ve cared for cats since I was 13 and have pet sit for friends and family over the years! I love all animals and would love to learn about more! I’m currently a college student and would love to care for animals between classes and schoolwork! Due to the summer my schedule is extremely flexible! Reach out to me and I’ll do whatever I can to make something work. I care for pets by feeding and entertaining them for a bit. I’m open to cleaning after them where needed and I know every pet has different needs!
About: I love all types of animals, big and small! I do have a small Yorkie and a big black lab, so I have experience with all different sizes of dogs. I used to live in a house with 3 other dogs! As a sitter, I can check on your dog and take him/her for walks or to the dog park. There are a few trails around here that my dogs enjoys, so yours will too! I have taught my dog many tricks, as well as putting him through different training classes; therefore, I can help teach basic skills to your dog as well. I am open to check on your home to take care of your pets, as well as take in the mail and other basic house needs if asked. I’d love to talk with you about caring for your dog! After I drop off my child at daycare, I work from home so would gladly walk your dog to get exercise for myself and get out of those house! Cats need love too, so dropping in to hear purrs would make my day! Safety and trust are two of the most Important values when working with my clients and their beloved pets! As a pet owner myself, I know how important creating an environment for the animal to thrive in is important.
About: I am a 2nd year student at LSU School of Veterinary Medicine in Baton Rouge. I grew up with a love for animals and decided to turn my passion into my career. I’ve taken care of many animals throughout my life, including dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. I have small animal clinic experience so I am very comfortable with giving medications, identifying signs of anxiety or pain, and providing loving care to any animal. I have 3 dogs right now that I absolutely adore and spend most of my time with. Being a veterinary student means that I get the opportunity to deal with all sorts of animals weekly. Animals bring me joy and the more I can be around them, the better! I feed my dogs twice a day and take them on daily walks. I play with them as much as I can to get their energy out and cuddle with them once they are tired out. When I dog-sit for people, I usually go to their house 3 times a day, play with them, and ensure they get enough attention and playtime. I am also comfortable with giving baths and trimming nails.
“Margaret was the absolute best! The pups have been struggling with us being gone and she did an fabulous job of making them feel loved! She went above and beyond to check in with me and them! Cannot recommend her enough!”
“This is our second time booking Mikayla to watch our two cats and she did wonderful! Thank you for taking care of them and being very responsive, we appreciate you!”

About: Hello, I’m Nick, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve raised my own dogs and have experience fostering, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I work from home, which means your dog will get lots of attention throughout the day—regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. They won’t be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. My home is in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with a yard for safe playtime. I’ve set everything up to be dog-friendly so you can feel confident your pet is in a safe and relaxed environment. I treat every dog like they’re my own and want you to feel completely at ease while they’re in my care. I work from home which means your pet will never be alone more than 1-2 hours, will be provided frequent potty breaks, and endless amounts of love. I live in a private neighborhood that is very animal friendly, along with a yard for your pet to run and play in. I have ensured my entire home is pet friendly and safe for your pet.

“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 cared for animals my entire life — from energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets who need a little extra TLC. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with everything from daily walks to overnight stays and drop-in visits. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats with different personalities, including shy or high-energy ones. I’ve handled feedings, medications, litter box deep-cleaning, crate training, and even post-surgery care. I also have experience with senior pets and understand how to keep them comfortable and on routine. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — not just a job, but something I genuinely enjoy. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, making sure they get consistent attention, love, and structure throughout the day. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime, I’m flexible and committed to keeping your pet happy and on routine. I love being active, so walks, feedings, and check-ins blend easily into my day. And if I’m doing overnight care or drop-ins, I make sure your pet gets my full attention and a calm, comforting environment. I also take time to send updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. I tailor my care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level — whether they’re staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home. In My Home: I create a safe, cozy, and pet-friendly space where your pet can feel relaxed and loved. I keep feeding schedules consistent, provide daily walks or playtime, and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection.

In Clients’ Homes: I respect your home and your pet’s routine. Whether I’m doing drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays, I stick to your feeding, potty, and playtime schedule.

About: We live in a 2nd-floor apartment that has 12 stairs leading up to it. I have had dogs in the home since the age of 2 and been a primary caregiver for my last 3 family dogs. My partner and I both love all dogs, especially larger breeds. We are experienced in basic leash and command training, basic medication administration, and house training. We firmly believe you can never have too many dogs around and would love to host your furry family member while you are away! We have a cat named Mitties who keeps to herself and tolerates her brother Lincoln as well as his friends who visit. Lincoln has never met another pup he didn't like. He loves to play and wrestle but also knows when it's time to give his friends space. He has regular interaction with dogs of all sizes and adjusts his play style accordingly. We are available for most weekends, and most weekdays from a week-to-week basis. Isaac works from home and is almost always around during the day to supervise! Dogs can be crated if needed over night or while we are away. Our dog Lincoln does not use a crate, however, so it is not necessary if your dog doesn’t usually use one either.
“Taylor responded quickly regarding her availability. 1st time user of Rover. Was very nervous but Taylor sent pictures during the day. I was helping my granddaughter get settled at college. Next visit, I will be checking in with Taylor”
“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!
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.
“Alec was great! She kept me updated & made sure my pup got his supplements, ate his lunch & got a good walk! The pictures & videos were adorable. I would definitely book with her again in the future!”
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my diverse and extensive background in animal care. With experience working in clinics, vet hospitals, rescue centers, shelters, etc, I have gained valuable knowledge about the specific needs and behaviors of various animals. Furthermore, my years of caring for my own dogs and cats have provided me with practical hands-on experience in handling different breeds and understanding their unique personalities. My expertise extends beyond dogs and cats, to include exotic animals, birds, some reptiles, and small ruminants, giving me a comprehensive understanding of the specific requirements and care necessary for a wide range of pets. My breadth of experience, coupled with my genuine love for animals, ensures that I provide exceptional care and attention to each furry, feathered, or scaled friend entrusted to my care. Additionally I am now entering my second year of school at LSU school of veterinary medicine, which has allowed me further enhance my animal caretaking skills. I am on break from vet school for the summer, so my schedule is pretty open/flexible. I am on vacation a few weeks over the summer as listed on my calender, and I start school early August and will no longer be available. To properly care for a client's pet in their home, there are a few key steps to follow. First and foremost, it's essential to establish clear communication with the client, ensuring you have all the necessary information about the pet's routines, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions. When at the client's home, provide a safe and comfortable environment for the pet, ensuring their access to fresh water, nutritious food, and a clean living area. Regularly engage in exercise and playtime to keep the pet physically and mentally stimulated. Lastly, administer any required medications or treatments as instructed, while also keeping a close eye on the pet's overall well-being and promptly informing the client of any concerns or changes in behavior.

“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 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. Potty Breaks/Walks: Providing timely opportunities for your dog to relieve themselves and get exercise, according to your instructions. Playtime and Affection: Spending quality time with your pet, offering cuddles, playtime, and attention to keep them happy and engaged. Home Security Checks (for house sitting): Ensuring your home is secure and reporting any issues. 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.
“Christina did a wonderful job with my dog, Jackson! She is very kind and attentive to his needs. She took time to come over before the walk and meet with him to make sure they were both comfortable. She did a great job of keeping me updated and sent the best pictures. We can't wait to continue having Christina for walks!”
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!
About: I’m comfortable helping out with your Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs… possibly other animals, just shoot me a message!

My cats are beyond spoiled, so don’t feel bad about what you may think are silly special requests. I completely understand. I’ll treat your fur babies like they were my own.

About: I have had and taken care of pets of all kinds (but especially dogs) since I was very young! I’ve had experience with puppies, young dogs, and older dogs, male and female. Even now I help take care of relative’s dogs and I love it. I feed, watch, walk, and make sure they’re happy! I stay in good shape and walk / workout every day, so I am able to handle larger breeds if needed! I live near LSU lakes which is a great place for walking, I usually go around the lakes when I go for walks, so I am familiar with the area well. It’s a great experience for people and pets! I’m pretty flexible and usually available for any activities! I am going to be taking 2 online classes this summer which requires me to be home, it works out well to watch some sweet pups! I do not have any dogs or cats within my home currently. Any pet works just fine to be inside or outside! The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all fairly large open spaces and connected together.
About: I’ve been caring for animals from a very young age, growing up on a farm where tending to a wide variety of animals was part of my everyday life. That experience gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and the importance of consistent, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve become comfortable working with dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies who require patience and structure, to senior dogs who benefit from a gentler, more attentive approach. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs and am confident in following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. I’m especially mindful with anxious or shy dogs, taking the time to build trust and create a calm, reassuring environment so they feel safe and secure. I am currently working full-time less than 5 minutes from home. I feed my dogs and let them out around 7:00 am before work. My husband is home with our dogs until 2:00 pm before he leaves for work. I arrive home around 5:00 pm and I spend most of my evening in the backyard if possible. I have a fenced in yard and a basket full of toys. I have 2 dogs of my own that enjoy playing with others, so your pet is sure to be in good company.

She kept me updated on how he was adjusting and sent me pictures and videos daily. She has been my favorite sitter thus far and I can tell my cat really loved being with her while I was away.”
“Kylie was amazing! She’d send pictures updates of my big pup and made sure to keep me updated through this stay. Tito was able to feel right at home, which is all I could’ve asked for. Will definitely be reaching out next time I am out of town.”
About: I have grown up raising pets of all kinds. I have many years of experience with animals, owning multiple cats and dogs. Not only that, but I am familiar with many different breeds of dogs, ranging from labs and german shepherds to bassets and pugs. I know how to take care of and have fun with any pet. I am currently in school so I'll have plenty of time to watch your babies after school and on weekends. I am currently available from 2:30 to 10 on weekends and 5 to 10 on weekdays. I have a fenced yard with grass and plenty of space for your pups to play. They would be allowed in any part of my house, so you don't have to worry about them being cooped up in the winter.
