“We booked with Lindsey last minute after an unexpected change of plans. Lindsey was so accommodating, she adjusted her schedule to meet our needs! Lindsey treated our lil guy like a Prince. She was very attentive to his needs and habits. Lindsey kept us updated with pics and texts and a doggy report card :). Overall great experience! Lindsey is AWESOME! A true lover of fur babies, for sure! Thanks for being so sweet! We will definitely call on Lindsey for future needs!”
“Anna was the perfect person to care for our girls. Puppies are hard. Two puppies are even harder but she Rocked it. I wrote instructions for her and she followed them to the ‘T’ even using our ‘command words’. She even set in the floor cuddling them during a storm to calm her fears I will definitely use her again.”
“Regan was absolutely amazing with Archer. He is a senior Dachshund and can be a little unsure in new places, but she went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable and cared for during his very first overnight stay. She was patient, gentile and very attentive to his needs. It’s such a relief to find someone who understands and loves older pups. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and all the pictures she sent during his stay.”
About: I’ve had my family dog, Princess, a Pomeranian-Papillon mix, since I was four years old. I was the one who named her, and she’s been my best friend ever since. I’ve cared for her through every stage of her life, from a playful puppy to now as a senior dog, so I understand that pets have different needs as they get older. Senior pets have a special place in my heart, and I’m always happy to give them the extra patience and love they deserve. I’m a college student home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I usually only take one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so they’ll get lots of one-on-one care and won’t have to compete for attention. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, and I ask that owners provide their pet’s food, medications (if needed), favorite toys, and any other essentials. If I’m caring for a cat, I’ll also need their litter box, litter, and other supplies. Communication is really important to me. I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates, and if you’re missing your pet, I’m even happy to FaceTime so you can check in. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart. I’m currently a college student home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get lots of attention throughout the day. I usually only care for one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so I can focus on giving them the care and attention they deserve while sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I share my home with my senior dog, Princess. She’s older, independent, and usually keeps to herself, but I’ll always make thoughtful introductions and make sure everyone is comfortable. I only accept one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so I can give them my full attention and closely monitor their interactions. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I’ll keep your home tidy if I’m caring for your pet there, and I’ll always make sure water is fresh, the environment is clean, and your pet feels safe and comfortable. If I ever notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away so you can have peace of mind.
“This was our first time using Rover and we used reviews to find Karen. We were not disappointed. Karen is very kind and even sent us updates on the pups without us even asking. We will definitely be boarding with her again!”
“William enjoyed his stay very much. I can tell because he was in no rush to leave. He came very happy with no ill acting effects as he had had with non Rover sitters. Lauren even gave him a bath because William was out playing rough in the yard, having fun, and he got dirty. They sent constant photos and videos of his stay. Thank you Lauren.”
“Megan was great with my fur babies….she sent amazing pictures and videos of every interaction with them.. she allowed to feel at home and comfortable…I totally appreciate her and the affection she showed my babies…Mega n is the best thanks so much”
“Amber is awesome! My pup, Marina, had THE BEST time with Amber!! She was very communicative, easy to work with, and an excellent trustworthy dogsitter. My pup didn’t want to leave she had so much fun! We will definitely be rebooking again real soon!”
“Courtney was terrific! I would definitely recommend using her to watch your pup! My plans had changed several times and she was very understanding … will use her again!”
“We have been using rover for years now and we must say, Thank You so much for taking care of our Baby. You are the best. He has come back home, trimmed, bathed fed and loved. From the photos that were sent to when he came back home, We can tell he was having a great retreat. Bobbi is awesome ? and will definitely use her services again in the near future. Thanks again for being so great with my difficult baby..”
“Tyler was amazing! We felt great knowing our pup was in great hands and had as much of a vacation as we did! Would absolutely book with him again in a heartbeat.”
“Sawsan was terrific. Marty is a very sweet but very shy guy and she was patient, attentive and let him come out of his shell with the other dogs. Her videos/photos were wonderful and she even gave him a sweater when it got cold! Would highly recommend!”
“Kirsten W. thank you so much for the care and attention you provided to William. William is part of my family and I appreciate that you made him feel welcomed into your family. He enjoyed playing with you and your son. We look forward to his next visit! Thank you and your whole family!”
About: I’ve been very hands on with dogs for years, including raising and caring for my own pitbull, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes especially larger, high energy dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading a dog’s personality and body language. I can also help reinforce basic habits like potty routines, leash manners, and calm behavior for younger dogs. I treat pets like they’re my own and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for instead of just “watching” them. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and adjust to what they need, whether that’s extra playtime, reassurance, structure, or space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m consistent with routines and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I provide a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and always supervise pets during walks, playtime, and interactions with other dogs. I also have a smart camera in my home so I can keep an eye on pets if I step out briefly. For added safety and comfort, pets can be kenneled if needed or preferred by the owner.
“What a GREAT Lady. Sandy knows dogs and she definitely knows how to handle them. We will be back for sure just amazing place she has. Thank you for everything Sandy.”
“She did an amazing job! My pup was so happy and loved spending time with her. She brought him to the park and also gave him a oatmeal bath! One of the best sitters we have ever had! Your buddy will be in good hands! She also sent us updates and pictures! We will definitely be back soon!”

“Gabrielle was an absolute delight! She took excellent care of our cats, ensuring they were well-cared for and treated with kindness. Her punctuality and reliability are commendable. I highly recommend her services and will definitely book with her for our upcoming travels!”
“Evelyn was a wonderful communicator! She regularly sent videos and photos of our cats, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was truly heartwarming to see how much time and care she took to play with them. We highly recommend Evelyn and are so grateful for her excellent service. Thank you!”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I was a little wary about letting a stranger into my house. But Mason’s personality was very reassuring from the start. He was prompt for our meet-and-greet before I booked him, and he was awesome and friendly. Mason was kind, communicative, and took great care of my cats while I was away. He sent updates and pictures, and I appreciated how much attention he gave them. My normally shy cats even came out to see him, which says a lot. I’d absolutely book Mason again.”
“I'm so Happy I found Kayla on this app! She was very thorough and communicative through the whole process. I reached out to her very last minute and she was extremely accommodating and reassured me that our kitties were in good hands and would be taken care of! I would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have over 20 years in dog sitting experience. I love all animals and promise to spoil and love your animals. I find it easier on the animals for me to stay with them in the environment they are used to. However, I am not opposed to letting your animals move into my home either. I am very responsible and can provide references upon request. I promise to take care of your pets as if they were my very own. When you leave your pets with me you can be at ease knowing I will give them the love they deserve. I promise to send pictures of your animals while you are away to ensure they are being taking good care of. I hope you will let me come spoil your pets.
About: I've been taking care of kittens and cats since I was a child. A kitten was my first pet! I've helped deliver 3 litters, have raised and bottle fed many kittens, rehomed stray pregnant cats ,and the most felines that I've cared for at a time in one household is 7. I lived with them for months and they became (and still are ) my extended family. I look forward to meeting yours!
About: I was a kennel worker for 2 years, providing daily care for dogs of various temperaments. My responsibilities included feeding, cleaning and sanitizing kennels, supervising playtime, administering medications as directed, and monitoring health and behavior. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy. I make time each day for walks, feedings, and plenty of attention to ensure every pet feels safe and happy. I care for pets as if they are my own. I follow their usual routine closely and send regular updates to stay connected with owners while they are away.
About: I have fostered dogs until we found them a forever home. I have dealt with several different kinds of animals. Family and previous babysitting employers have relied on me to take care of their fur babies as well. I own a salon in Mandeville but i don’t have set days so i am available whenever as long as you book a day ahead of time! I do babysit for 3 hours from 2:30-5:30 but i am available after that! I have a fenced yard with two other friendly pups. I can easily crate any dogs if needed. Our yard is big so there is plenty of room to run around.
“The service process was easy and Anna provided great communication and attended our pet's needs perfectly. We will be definitely use this service again and request Anna for her services.”
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the genuine love and care I bring to every animal I work with, along with a deep understanding of their unique needs. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies who need consistency and basic training, to senior pets who require extra patience, gentle handling, and possibly medication management. I’m skilled in reading animal body language, which helps me quickly build trust and create a calm, safe environment. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behavior in younger pets, helping with crate training, or making sure older pets stay comfortable and cared for, I tailor my approach to each individual animal. Your pet won’t just be looked after—I’ll treat them like family, with plenty of affection, play, and attention to their routines and preferences. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I make time every day for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care a pet might need, whether that's administering medication, doing training exercises, or simply providing companionship and comfort. When I'm pet sitting, I structure my schedule around the pet’s needs, I stay consistent with their usual routine to help them feel safe and at ease, whether it's early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening snuggles. My goal is to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for both the pet and their owner. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comforting environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, I offer a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and explore. I keep everything secure and pet-proofed, and I always do a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure your pet feels comfortable here. I do have 4 dogs of my own in home, so depending on your dog(s) and mine upon meet-and-greet, they will always have others to play with or I can always safely keep them separated, comfortable and calm at all times while staying with me. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s diet, crate training, medication, or anything else—and provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. In your home, I make it a priority to respect your space while giving your pet the love and attention they need. I stick to their regular feeding, walking, and play schedules to minimize stress and keep things familiar. I’m also happy to take care of small household tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants while you're away. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, affection, and a whole lot of belly rubs and love!

About: I love cats as much as I love dogs! These sassy, low maintenance, cuddly companions are a favorite among my family. I’m happy to care for your cat as much as I am happy to care for your dog.
About: Cute storyyy: I was on the back road home in Bush and happen to see something very tiny, but also a huge lifted truck that hurried and stopped. I didn’t know what it was. I just know it was tiny and seemed like it didn’t know what to do or where to go so I saved it. Poor baby, it was a black kitten with a white cross on her chest, and her eyes weren’t opened yet. I don’t think she even knew what she was because next thing you know she’s on my shoulder, the smallest little parrot ever! Well Nova is what I had named her, and I can say I’m beyond thankful for our family friend that took her in, spoiling her, and giving her not just an amazing home but the best older fur sibling and family! Nova is definitely something special!💜

“Amber was truly the best person to leave my sweet puppy with for the day! She kept me updated through text with pictures and videos throughout his entire stay, she invited me in when we arrived to give me the assurance of knowing where he would be for the day. Her home was very clean, tidy, and she was inviting to make me more comfortable. My anxiety about leaving him for the day was immediately relieved. Do not hesitate to let her care for your pets!!”
“Lindsey is awesome. She gave me lots of pics & updated me without me having to ask. I have a bulldog & was worried about humidity but she paid attention to detail & took amazing care of him. I felt great having him in her hands & I found myself relaxed that I knew he was in good hands. He also came home with a little dog report card. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 15, and it’s truly second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, administering meds, or just being a comforting presence, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My experience includes overnight stays, and extended care while pet parents are away. I understand that every animal has its own routine and personality, and I make it a priority to adapt to their needs so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care is an easy fit in my daily routine because it’s something I genuinely love doing. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs. I plan my days around the animals I care for, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Because I’m organized and communicative, you can count on timely updates and consistent care while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and routine become a part of mine while they’re in my care! In Your Home: When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible.

I respect your space and treat your home with care, making sure your pet feels safe, secure, and loved while you’re away.

My home is quiet, safe, and perfect for pets who need a calm environment.
“We have been taking our puppy to daycare with Sawsan nearly every week for the past three months, and he is so happy there. Unlike many sitters, Sawsan operates as a full time business and gives all of her focus and attention to the dogs. We are so sad to have moved from the neighborhood, and are yet to find anyone even close to this level of care!”

“I was nervous to leave my quirky dogs with a stranger, but Tyler quickly put my pets and me at ease. He took the dogs on a walk early on, to make them feel at home. He has a large, secure backyard, that the dogs loved. He let the pets be part of his day and provided good feedback about the pups. Thanks Tyler!”
About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.
About: I’ve been a dog and cat lover for as long as I can remember and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. My goal is to make your furry family member feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live on a spacious half-acre lot in a quiet neighborhood, giving dogs plenty of room to run, explore, and play. My home features a large doggy door, so your pup can easily go outside whenever they want. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, belly rubs, or simply lounging around, they’ll receive plenty of attention and care throughout their stay. I share my home with Jake, my friendly yellow Labrador Retriever. He’s very laid-back, loves other animals, and is happy to welcome new friends. To provide a calm, personalized experience, I only accept one client family at a time. This means your pet won’t have to adjust to a house full of unfamiliar dogs and will receive my full attention. For everyone’s safety, I have young children in the home and can only accept dogs that are friendly and non-aggressive around people and other animals (no pitbulls or pitbull mixes). I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am home most of the week. I also have two kids that are animal lovers. I’m able to adjust to whatever routine your pet is used to. My kids have learned to respect animals’ boundaries. Your pet will be enjoying the comforts of being inside or outside of the house and get lots of attention.

“I own a very quirky dog who was badly abused in the past. She does not take kindly to strangers. Evelyn was patient and kind, and eventually won Lily's trust. She treated both of my dogs as if they were her own. I can't think of enough good things to say about her. If you love your pooches and want them to have the very best care, don't hesitate for a moment......contact Evelyn. (Plus she has 2 of the cutest kids you've ever met!)”

“Anna was wonderful with my dog Aurora. They went for a walk around my neighborhood. Aurora is a very large dog and Anna did a great job maintaining and handling her. Aurora is still smiling after her walk. I will definitely ask Anna to walk Aurora in the future.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them goes beyond just “watching dogs” for me! I spent nearly a year working at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, as well as energy levels-from playful 4 month old puppies to sweet senior dogs who just need a little extra patience and care. I grew up around dachshunds and dobermans my whole life, and I now have my own Dalmatian that I rescued from illegal breeding. I understand both high-energy breeds and animals with unique personalities. My experience in pet sitting, dog behavior, proper socialization, and enrichment allows me to provide care that is attentive, structured, and tailored to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, mental stimulation, or simply a calm and restful environment, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for and loved while you are away. As a college student out for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Aside from a job commitment one weekend a month, my availability is open for almost anything-walks, drop-ins, and daycare! Your pets comfort and safety are always my #1 priority. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming home where your dog can feel right at home. I make sure they have both companionship and personal space when needed. I have a room in my home with a tall baby gate dedicated for dogs where they can decompress, and nothing will bother them if they want their own space. I also have a very playful and friendly Dalmatian, Siggy, who loves having company around the house. I will always supervise if Siggy would be around your dog, including a safe and proper introduction of the two dogs and continuously watching them when they would be playing.
About: I have a love for all animals, as a child growing up I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian Assistant. I began doing foster care for dogs in 2020 after doing this for a while I felt a much greater need to help even more. I began my own dog rescue in 2020. I walk, play, love and care for each animal. I have rescued and rehomed several dogs to safe and loving homes. I treat them as if they were my own. The unbreakable bond between pets and their people is something that will forever warm my heart! I’m currently working part time. I’m available after work and on my off days. Just message me and we can make things work! I’m more than happy to help! I have three fur-babies of my own and they love to run around and play outside, there is 7-acres of land, and the best part is not by any main roads, it’s private. I also walk my dogs or let them play inside with some toys. Depending on your pet and your instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure that your pet and you as well feel comfortable with things. If it’s a client’s home then whatever instructions are given I’ll make sure to go by!
About: My name is Amber and I am a 27 years old! I have two pet bunnies named Jimmy and Twix, and a dog named Juno! I have been a pet-sitter since I was in my teens and absolutely love my clients pets as I do my own. I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, and also reptiles! I have cared for senior pets as well as young pets. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I currently work part-time as a server in Mandeville. The shifts are 4-6 hours long. I do not work doubles when I am scheduled for pet-sitting, so no need to worry about me being gone for anything more than 4-6 hours at a time. I have two bunnies of my own, so I just need to check on them every other day for overnight stays. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. When I do overnight stays, I will leave your house cleaned and taken care of as I do my own.
About: I grew up on a farm, had lots of dogs, cats, and all sorts of other animals to care for. As an adult, I’ve had quite a few cats, and I’m the current owner of three small dogs. I am currently working from home. Travel once a month. So I have plenty of time to check on the babies, play with them outside, and give them occasional treats. I have a fenced in yard that is designed for small dogs, a large dog would likely jump over. But it works great for the small dogs, plenty of shade, plenty of grass. And in the house, I have an abundance of pet beds, and blankies.
About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the genuine love and care I bring to every animal I work with, along with a deep understanding of their unique needs. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies who need consistency and basic training, to senior pets who require extra patience, gentle handling, and possibly medication management. I’m skilled in reading animal body language, which helps me quickly build trust and create a calm, safe environment. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behavior in younger pets, helping with crate training, or making sure older pets stay comfortable and cared for, I tailor my approach to each individual animal. Your pet won’t just be looked after—I’ll treat them like family, with plenty of affection, play, and attention to their routines and preferences. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I make time every day for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care a pet might need, whether that's administering medication, doing training exercises, or simply providing companionship and comfort. When I'm pet sitting, I structure my schedule around the pet’s needs, I stay consistent with their usual routine to help them feel safe and at ease, whether it's early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening snuggles. My goal is to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for both the pet and their owner. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comforting environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, I offer a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and explore. I keep everything secure and pet-proofed, and I always do a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure your pet feels comfortable here. I do have 4 dogs of my own in home, so depending on your dog(s) and mine upon meet-and-greet, they will always have others to play with or I can always safely keep them separated, comfortable and calm at all times while staying with me. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s diet, crate training, medication, or anything else—and provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. In your home, I make it a priority to respect your space while giving your pet the love and attention they need. I stick to their regular feeding, walking, and play schedules to minimize stress and keep things familiar. I’m also happy to take care of small household tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants while you're away. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, affection, and a whole lot of belly rubs and love!
About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.
About: I have been raising and caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. From birthing puppies to senior dog care. Who doesn’t love a furry friend! I am a teacher who is off for summer break and would love to fill my summer free time helping your special furry family members! I am currently living in an apartment living so I understand the need for dog walks. I will visit and provide lots of love and attention.
About: I’ve owned dogs, cats, and many other pets since childhood. I worked at a doggy day care, and I spent 14 years making my best friend, Buddy, my second job. He wanted for nothing, and neither will yours! I’m looking to work up to 40+ hours a week doing pet care. I can do early mornings, evenings as late as 10pm, and as many overnights as you need! If you ask me to care for your pets in your own home, I will treat them as my own. I will spend time on the ground rubbing bellies, playing fetch or chase in the backyard, and will follow all instructions regarding food and/or medications.
About: I’ve been with a variety of animals; dogs, cats, turtles, a bearded dragon, and the list goes on. I can care for larger and smaller dogs, such as pit bull to dachshunds. Also have experience for pets with any medical or special concerns. Just finished caring for Frenchie with seizures. I am only working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. My schedule is flexible and I’m free during the weekends. I have a fenced in backyard with two friendly dogs. My neighbor’s dog is also fenced in, but she comes over to play every now and then.

“We booked with Lindsey last minute after an unexpected change of plans. Lindsey was so accommodating, she adjusted her schedule to meet our needs! Lindsey treated our lil guy like a Prince. She was very attentive to his needs and habits. Lindsey kept us updated with pics and texts and a doggy report card :). Overall great experience! Lindsey is AWESOME! A true lover of fur babies, for sure! Thanks for being so sweet! We will definitely call on Lindsey for future needs!”
“Regan was absolutely amazing with Archer. He is a senior Dachshund and can be a little unsure in new places, but she went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable and cared for during his very first overnight stay. She was patient, gentile and very attentive to his needs. It’s such a relief to find someone who understands and loves older pups. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and all the pictures she sent during his stay.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we used reviews to find Karen. We were not disappointed. Karen is very kind and even sent us updates on the pups without us even asking. We will definitely be boarding with her again!”
“William enjoyed his stay very much. I can tell because he was in no rush to leave. He came very happy with no ill acting effects as he had had with non Rover sitters. Lauren even gave him a bath because William was out playing rough in the yard, having fun, and he got dirty. They sent constant photos and videos of his stay. Thank you Lauren.”
“Courtney was terrific! I would definitely recommend using her to watch your pup! My plans had changed several times and she was very understanding … will use her again!”
“We have been using rover for years now and we must say, Thank You so much for taking care of our Baby. You are the best. He has come back home, trimmed, bathed fed and loved. From the photos that were sent to when he came back home, We can tell he was having a great retreat. Bobbi is awesome ? and will definitely use her services again in the near future. Thanks again for being so great with my difficult baby..”
“Tyler was amazing! We felt great knowing our pup was in great hands and had as much of a vacation as we did! Would absolutely book with him again in a heartbeat.”
“Sawsan was terrific. Marty is a very sweet but very shy guy and she was patient, attentive and let him come out of his shell with the other dogs. Her videos/photos were wonderful and she even gave him a sweater when it got cold! Would highly recommend!”
“Kirsten W. thank you so much for the care and attention you provided to William. William is part of my family and I appreciate that you made him feel welcomed into your family. He enjoyed playing with you and your son. We look forward to his next visit! Thank you and your whole family!”
About: I’ve been very hands on with dogs for years, including raising and caring for my own pitbull, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes especially larger, high energy dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading a dog’s personality and body language. I can also help reinforce basic habits like potty routines, leash manners, and calm behavior for younger dogs. I treat pets like they’re my own and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for instead of just “watching” them. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and adjust to what they need, whether that’s extra playtime, reassurance, structure, or space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m consistent with routines and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I provide a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and always supervise pets during walks, playtime, and interactions with other dogs. I also have a smart camera in my home so I can keep an eye on pets if I step out briefly. For added safety and comfort, pets can be kenneled if needed or preferred by the owner.
“What a GREAT Lady. Sandy knows dogs and she definitely knows how to handle them. We will be back for sure just amazing place she has. Thank you for everything Sandy.”

“Marisa did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs whole I was away. She gave me updates and even sent pictures of them to me when I missed them. Will definitely use her whenever I go out of town again!!!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have now centered my life around animal care! I currently am going to school for my RVT and am also working in the clinic at our Parish animal shelter. Because of this, I am well versed in most domesticated animal care, am comfortable with special needs/ill pets, and never mind a challenge! I Young-old, excited-skittish, wet-dry, all need care, and I'm excited to help you! No task is too messy or difficult, no guideline is too silly! My husband is very familiar with pet care as well, and he supplements where i cannot be! I am currently working full time from 8-4:30. I am able to handle early morning and evening obligations. Depending on your location, I am also able to do lunch time drop ins! Most of my weekends are open, though I am unavailable about 1 weekend out of the month for work, these weekends follow my weekday availability. My husband supplements any working weekends, and most times in which i am not home! Every animal is different, every animal has their quirks and personality! I am easily adaptable to your pets needs in home and outside. My goal is to make visits and transitions as seamless as possible for your pets; what works for you is what's best for me! We love to board, WE BOARD MULTIPLE ANIMALS AT A TIME! Sometimes there will be overlap from different households. Please know that we always prioritize safety, are very adaptable with separation and never leave our boarded animals together unattended. Your pets will be housed in our refinished shed a few steps away from our side door. The area is climate controlled, has electric, and is monitored via camera 24/7. If your pets are pet friendly, they are likely to be inside the home with us unless we are not home! You can see a snippet of the view in my photos, please let me know if you have questions!
“Nash loved his visit with Jennifer! She sent tons of pictures and made this such a pain free experience for us both. I never left him with a sitter before and I won’t ever hesitate again.”
“Lee did a wonderful job making my old pup feel comfortable while we were away for the holidays! She was very accomodating to her needs (medications, dog aggression) as well as our last minute change in schedule. Will definitely use her again in the future!”
