“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.”
“Tiana was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She sent frequent updates, along with plenty of photos and videos, so I always knew how he was doing. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well loved throughout his stay. I would absolutely book with Tiana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!”
“Adele was super sweet and so flexible with us! My baby was so happy and comfortable with her. She was incredibly kind, calm, and caring, and she even made her the sweetest little care package. It was such a thoughtful touch! I felt completely at ease leaving her with Adele and would absolutely book with her again!”
About: I have 20+ years in caring for someone elses loved ones. Growing up, I have always had a dog family member and I absolutely love animals. I’ve never had a day without a pet in my life. I have a spacious fenced in yard, that your pet can run and play. I am home all hours of the day and nigh and can honor any needs your pet requires. Your best friend is my best friend in this house! I am home all day! I am able to follow all routines your pet may have. We can play fetch or snuggle, whichever your furry friend needs! Although I do require a 24 hour request to prepare for sitting. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fenced in yard, with plenty of room to play or couches they can lounge on. Whichever they prefer, I have both!
“What can I say about Victoria? She was absolutely amazing with my two anxious boys. My boys have allergies, anxiety and one has GI issues. Victoria followed my instructions to the letter and gave them their necessary medicine every day. I have never left them that long (was gone about 9-10 days) but Victoria sent video, photo and verbal updates every day all throughout the day which I really appreciated. Her husband is great as well, and I felt good actually being on vacation and enjoying it because I knew my pups were well taken care of. She was patient, caring and kind, and she took really good care of my babies. She even washed my pups’ bowls and spoons. I will definitely be utilizing Victoria’s services again.”
“Regan was amazing! She sent pictures throughout Oliver’s stay. He came home tired so I know he had plenty of fun! I highly recommend Regan and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Karen gave us daily updates and photos of Roux. She made drop off and pickup very convenient. It was great to have Roux excited to see Ms Karen again, since she had stayed with her two other times while we were on vacation . It’s such a good feeling to know she’s in good hands.”
“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.”
“Woody had a wonderful experience with Courtney. He was well taken care of, and I have already booked Woody’s next stay. I highly recommend her for caring for your pets.”
“This was he first time I used Rover. I was in town for a family event and very happy to have found Kirsten. As far as I'm concerned she set the standard for what I will be looking for when I use Rover in the future. I can sum up my feelings by what she said to me. "I treat guest doggies the way I want someone to take care of my own". She sent photos and text messages to let let me know all was well. I may never get back to Covington but if I did I would definitely book with Kirsten.”
“Bobbi was awesome to work with, she gave me tons of updates, and cared for my pup like her own. Got him back squeaky clean. Definitely would recommend to anyone I know.”
“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!”

“Sandy was absolutely wonderful. In the 4.5 years we have had Roxy we have never had a great experience with dog boarding. I have never seen Roxy as happy as she was being picked anywhere else other than Sandy's place. She took amazing care of Roxy updating us with pictures and little messages during our Vacation. She took her for lots of walks and to the dog park! It was the first vacation where we could really relax knowing our fur baby was in such great hands! We have already re booked her for next Vacation. Thank you Sandy for such amazing service!!”

“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.”
“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!”

It was such a thoughtful touch! I felt completely at ease leaving her with Adele and would absolutely book with her again!”
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!💜
“Lindsey was amazing with our kitties. They love her! Our cats love attention and she gave them so much attention while visiting. Lindsey communicates often and makes you feel good about the care your pets are getting.”
“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!”
“Evelyn is a great cat sitter! This is the second time she has watched my cat. She was very thorough in her care and communication. I would highly recommend her for your pet needs!”

“Cannot say enough great things about Alyssa’s care for Luna while I was away! She sent plenty of pics and vids of my girl for each of her check-ins, and it really helped me feel better being away for several days like I was. Great service! Would definitely book again!”
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’m a patient, caring animal lover with a background in positive reinforcement training. Animals have always been a big part of my life—I’ve worked at both the zoo and the Louisiana Nature Center as an educator and animal caretaker, where I helped with training and husbandry for a variety of animal ambassadors. At home, I have quite the animal crew: 2 dogs, 2 cats, a bird, snakes, lizards, tortoises, hedgehogs, a rabbit, and even some invertebrates! Caring for such a wide range of animals has given me experience with all kinds of temperaments, routines, and special needs. I’m also a mom of three older children who sometimes enjoy helping me with pet-sitting duties. Together, we provide lots of love and attention to the pets we care for. To ensure the best fit, I require a meet & greet a few days before your booking. This gives us a chance to get to know each other, talk through your pet’s routine, and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly, or feathered!) family members! Being self-employed means I can easily adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s routine, providing reliable care and keeping their happiness and well-being my top priority. I follow each pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles. I keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while respecting their familiar environment. :)

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 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: What sets me apart is my genuine love and lifelong experience with animals. I grew up in a pet-friendly home where caring for animals was part of everyday life, so I understand the patience, attention, and compassion they need. I’ve also sheltered and cared for pets until they were ready to find their forever homes, giving me experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and needs.

“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!!”
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. As a college student, I’m home during school breaks, which means I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to dedicate to your pet. I’m also available during holiday breaks! During the academic year, though, I’ll be inactive while I’m away at college, so I only accept bookings when I’m home. 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. As a college student, I’m home during school breaks, which means I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to dedicate to your pet. I’m also available during holiday breaks! During the academic year, though, I’ll be inactive while I’m away at college, so I only accept bookings when I’m home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get lots of attention throughout the day. 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 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.

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.

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 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.

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.

“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: 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: I treat every pet like my own, offering loving, reliable care with attention, comfort, playtime, and patience so your pet feels safe, happy and at ease at all times. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly schedule. I’m available most weekdays for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I am in the wedding industry and specialize in bridal makeup. My weekdays are pretty much my free time. On the weekends, I’m Available before & after my bridal parties are finished to stop in & check on your pet, stay over night if needed. Luckily, I have a flexible schedule! Although I do not have a fenced in yard, if given the say so, I have dog parks around me. I also have a 4 1/2 lb Pomeranian who I take to the dog parks as well to get all her zoomies out.
“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!)”
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 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 love for pets has been a lifelong journey, starting from a house full of animals in my childhood to now being a proud owner of four dogs: Star, Luna, Rose, and Mars. Mars is a special guy who gets along well with Star but can be a bit aggressive towards other dogs, including Luna and Rose. Because of this, I have a routine in place to keep him separate from other dogs, ensuring a safe environment for everyone. I strive to go the extra mile to ensure your fur babies receive the exceptional care they deserve. I treat them as if they were my own, providing love and attention whether they are puppies or seniors. Currently, I’m working from home, which means I’m home every day, ready to spend time with your pets! I offer check-ins and can provide constant companionship. My home features a fenced yard where my friendly dogs can help keep your fur babies entertained. I prioritize their safety and happiness, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and social interaction in a secure environment. Your pets will feel loved and safe in my care, having the best time possible. I'm working from home , so I am home everyday meaning I can be with your fur babies everyday! I am home all day and if you prefer check ins I will be there! In my home, I prioritize safety, trust, and a nurturing environment for all pets. I have a fenced yard where your fur babies can play safely. I ensure that my dog Mars is kept separate from other pets to prevent any aggressive behavior, creating a calm space for everyone. When caring for pets, I follow a structured routine that includes regular exercise, playtime, and social interactions. I make sure each pet feels comfortable and secure, treating them like my own. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, ensuring they are happy and well-cared for. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I maintain the same level of attention and care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, provide companionship, and ensure their safety in a familiar environment. Communication is key, so I’ll keep you updated on how they’re doing while you’re away. Your pets will always feel loved and secure in my care!
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.

“Adele was super sweet and so flexible with us! My baby was so happy and comfortable with her. She was incredibly kind, calm, and caring, and she even made her the sweetest little care package. It was such a thoughtful touch! I felt completely at ease leaving her with Adele and would absolutely book 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.”
“Woody had a wonderful experience with Courtney. He was well taken care of, and I have already booked Woody’s next stay. I highly recommend her for caring for your pets.”
“This was he first time I used Rover. I was in town for a family event and very happy to have found Kirsten. As far as I'm concerned she set the standard for what I will be looking for when I use Rover in the future. I can sum up my feelings by what she said to me. "I treat guest doggies the way I want someone to take care of my own". She sent photos and text messages to let let me know all was well. I may never get back to Covington but if I did I would definitely book with Kirsten.”

“Sandy was absolutely wonderful. In the 4.5 years we have had Roxy we have never had a great experience with dog boarding. I have never seen Roxy as happy as she was being picked anywhere else other than Sandy's place. She took amazing care of Roxy updating us with pictures and little messages during our Vacation. She took her for lots of walks and to the dog park! It was the first vacation where we could really relax knowing our fur baby was in such great hands! We have already re booked her for next Vacation. Thank you Sandy for such amazing service!!”
“Tyler treated my dogs like his own, this past week. He took them on two walks and let them watch TV with him. He followed my instructions to a tee. Thanks again, Tyler”
“Charles was a fantastic sitter for my dog Carter during our weekend trip to Waveland, MS. He kept us updated with photos throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind. Carter got plenty of fresh air with daily walks through Charles’ wooded neighborhood and even a fun outing to the local farmers market. We’ll definitely be booking with Charles again if we come to town.”
“Cierra was awesome - very quick to respond to the request for booking, even though it was very "last minute". She was very friendly and professional and obviously took very good care of our dog while we were away. Cierra kept us updated frequently on our dog throughout the weekend with texts and photos. She was also very flexible with the scheduling. Overall, we HIGHLY recommend Cierra D. and will be calling on her again in the future!!”
“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!”
“Marisa was great! She sent a lot of pictures and videos. Nyla had a blast playing with the other dogs outside in the fenced in yard and inside as well. She made sure to give Nyla her breakfast and dinner as well as her medicine. And Nyla is a handful considering she is 62 pounds, but Marisa did great!”
