“Kristen was such a great find, I needed someone to watch my dog for 2 days while I traveled though the area on business. I will definitely use Kristen again when I come back to this area - her updates were great and timely!”
“My 2 poodles had a stay for the weekend, I was nervous since this was their first stay but Rachel assured me everything will be fine and it definitely was! One of my dogs got a small injury when dropping off and she was quick to jump into action and take care of it!! She kept me updated with daily pictures throughout their stay. My babies have a new best friend with Raven and can’t wait to go back!! I highly recommend her and her services & will be using her for future stays!!”
“Darcy took such great care of our 110 pound St Bernard mix. She sent pictures and updates frequently, she offered to bathe him, and he was happy when we came to pick him up. I accidentally mixed up which date we would return and she was flexible and able to keep him an extra night. I absolutely recommend Darcy and would rebook with her.”
“Ariana is great with Bentley and Remy and they enjoy their time with her. We always get updates throughout their stay and her response time is quick. We have had multiple stays and will continue to book with Ariana.”
“I had a wonderful experience! Her place was amazing, and I truly think my dog enjoyed her stay. She was kind, professional, and kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Communication was excellent, and the entire process was smooth from start to finish. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring place to leave their pet!”
“Aja was great with my 3 month old very active pup. She is very patient and dealt with him professionally. He was happy when we picked him up. She sent very regular updates and pictures which I much appreciate. You are made aware of everything and can go ahead with your day assured that your pet is in a safe and happy care. I would send my pup back to Aja whenever there is a need again.”
“My dog is older and has meds she needs to take on a daily basis. Joyce took great care of her while I was out of town. I definitely would recommend her to others looking to board their dogs.”

I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, from Yorkies to Dobermans. I’ve owned my GSP who stays at my moms house, since she was a puppy and house-trained her myself, so I’m experienced with the patience, consistency, and care that puppies require. I also help care for my mom’s 12-year-old dog, which has given me experience caring for older dogs as well.

“Thank you so much, Courtney, for taking care of our sweet dog, Markey, for a week! And thank you for the photos of him that you sent to us! He came home a happy doggie and we thank you again! ❤️”
“Marisa was great! She was extremely accommodating, always trying to help make things easier for us for drop off and pick up. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and my pup definitely had fun because he has been sleeping all day. A sure sign of a good time for a one year old lab! =) it was awesome to know that he was having fun while we were away.”
“You simply cannot do better than Viola. My 10 year old toy poodle is hard to leave because of her separation anxiety. Viola won her over, spoiled her and sent me updates that allowed me to enjoy my four day trip. You can see her love for dogs in everything she does. My Sassy didn’t even stop eating which had been an issue. I was more than satisfied. ISO happy I found this lovely lady.”
“Oh my goodness words can't describe how grateful I am for Amy. I love how she took care of my baby like he was her own. I received pictures and updates several times a day. If you are in the area and need a sitter for your baby please contact her. I don't want to share her because she is so INCREDIBLE but I will lol.”
“What a fantastic family!!! I am so grateful we found Brittnee to care for our babies at the last minute. They were so well taken care of and I can’t thank her enough ❤️ It made our trip so relaxed knowing my babies were having a great time themselves. Thank you!!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“I can tell my girls had a GREAT week with Kaitlyn — when I picked them up they were bathed and smelling GOOD and almost INSTANTLY went to sleep in the car, and I live only a few blocks away! ?? Very communicative and kept me posted. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“This was our first time using a sitter for our Peanut. Lauren scheduled a meet and greet before our trip to see how the dogs got along. All went well at the meet and greet. During Peanut's stay, Lauren sent numerous pictures and updates. We will definitely use again!”

Charlie is not particularly fond of people and I was a little nervous about how he’d react but by the end of the second day she had won him over and he followed her outside along with the other 2.

“I am delighted to share my exceptional experience with Jena as a dog caregiver through the Rover app. Jena took care of my six-month-old puppy, Luna, for her first dog daycare adventure, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Jena’s care for Luna was outstanding – her attention to Luna’s needs and her nurturing approach made Luna’s first experience truly special. The regular updates and communication from Jena provided me with peace of mind throughout the day. Jena’s professionalism, combined with her genuine love for animals, made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Luna not only received excellent care but also seemed genuinely happy in Jena’s company. I wholeheartedly recommend Jena to the Rover community. She is a fantastic caregiver, and I am grateful for the positive impact she had on Luna’s daycare experience.”
“This was our pups’ first time away from us and Jennifer was so great with them! We have a longer boarding stay coming up and wanted to see how they would do beforehand. She was so patient with my anxious boy and helped them both settle in in their own time. They were running around and playing by the end of the stay! She was also really communicative and kept us updated often with lots of photos. I’m incredibly picky about who watches my dogs, but after today, I have no reservations about leaving them in Jennifer’s care. They’ll be seeing her again soon!”
“Victoria was very sweet and responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her for the day. Thank you for all of the updates! They helped us remain at ease :) Thank you again for keeping Quinn safe and letting her run around in your backyard!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. My father has owned and operated a dog training/boarding business for over 14 years, and I grew up helping him with the daily care and responsibilities that come with working with dogs. I currently work part time as a kennel technician at Hickory Small Animal Hospital in Ponchatoula, where I help care for pets staying in the boarding facility. This experience has made me comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and individual needs. I also have extensive experience with horses and regularly help care for horses and assist with barn responsibilities for several owners. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I strive to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while making sure every animal feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority. I also work part time, but I am able to plan my schedule around bookings and make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of outside time. I also have a friendly dog of my own who can provide some company and playtime! I am always happy to follow each owner’s preferences and routines to make sure their pet feels as comfortable and at home as possible.
About: All the Doggies sleep with me in my bed! They are allowed on furniture & anywhere they’d like to be comfortable. I worked for Companion Animal alliance in Baton Rouge working with dogs & cats as a caretaker. I mobile groom for people around the Livingston parish area & I’m well known on the nextdoor app. I have a bunch of references! I am very passionate about your fur babies & one day will open up my own business building for grooming/boarding & as new clients you would be adding to my fund for that. It has been my life long dream to accomplish this one day & I am going to keep working towards that. I want to expand this business into something much bigger & for people to feel at ease with leaving your babies in the care of someone who will love them unconditionally. All you have to bring for your baby is their dog food/cat food. I have dog/cat bowls, leashes, toys, puppy pads, litter boxes, litter, cat toys, cat/dog beds, ( I supply dog treats ) I do not put the babies in kennels unless instructed to do so by you if you bring your own. At bed time I put on relaxing music for the dogs to calm down & sleep, heating pads for cold nights, lots of blankets & beds. Any of their comfort items I would suggest bring with them. I do live in a new trailer, lots of room for your babies to roam & play! non smoker. I have experience with large dogs to small dogs, senior dogs & ones with bad anxiety or kennel aggressive ect. I also have experience with birds, especially parrots. I know how to handle in any situation when it comes to different behaviors from animals. I am also pit bull friendly 💕 The babies I board/doggy daycare have FREE ROAM. Which means they can go as they please anywhere in my home, they can sleep with me or they can sleep on the couches or their beds, but If you prefer your baby in a kennel at night, I will respect your wishes. I only have one kennel designated just for that.. You will receive lots of pictures/videos & updates to the point where it may be a little annoying but you’ll never have to text me first checking on them. I give them lots of love! I stay home everyday with the babies, so they will get all of the attention they need. The night before pick up/drop offs, I do give them a bath, each one no matter what. I can pick your dog up or drop them off, I have never had an issues with any dogs fighting, running off or accidents. I am VERY experienced in RUNNERS, the ones who wait for you to open the door to escape. Never had a runner succeed in getting away. I can clip your babies nails & give them a little trim if need be free of charge. If your dog needs medication I can administer it to them at the times needed. Prozac, prednisone, insulin, antibiotics ect, I’m familiar with all. Thank you for taking the time to read this & hopefully you have found the right sitter for your baby/babies. 🐶 I bring the babies to the dog park twice a week along with water treats & toys. I can manage 5 at a time ( leashed ) I do have a fenced in yard with a doggy pool, it’s covered & has pet turf. Lots of room for your baby to play!! This is what I do for a living! I eat breathe & sleep doggies. I stay home full time & when I say full time it’s me & the pups home everyday. I LOVE & taking care of your 4 legged sweetie pies, when you book with me it will allow me to continue to care for the fur babies & accomplish my life long dream to open up a bigger place to care for more. 💕 I truly appreciate repeat customers, but with inflation the way that it is, the cost of gas being so high, I had to make the difficult decision to raise my prices up to $2 more since last year. I understand if you choose to look elsewhere for services, but I hope that you choose to continue to use me. & for new clients ❤️ I have a small male dachshund that gets along with animals & kids very well! I am 100% committed to your pets to make them & you comfortable with my services. I treat my clients babies just like I would my baby!
About: I have been taking care of dogs and animals since I was a child. At just 11 years old, I got my very own dog and have taken care of her by myself for the past 7 years. I trained her as a puppy to be potty trained, be obedient, and to do over a dozen tricks. I have worked with Rover for about a year and have loved each experience. I have also dog sat for friends and neighbors numerous amounts of times, and have enjoyed every one of them :) I am currently enrolled in online courses for school and have the ability to create my own schedule based on when your fur baby needs assistance. I have a very flexible schedule and can be available any time of the day. I will follow a strict schedule for your pup if needed. This will include providing food and water, regular exercise, playtime, and ensuring a safe environment surrounding your baby. I can take them on long walks and can handle a strong dog on a leash.
About: I am a calm caregiver who is great with anxious dogs and rescue pups! I have 6 years of experience with senior dogs (large and small), medication administration, and special diets. I am currently self employed, making my our schedule. I am able to build my schedule around your pets’ needs, whether that is during the week day or weekend. When petting sitting at clients homes, I make sure to leave the house just as clean as when the client left. I believe it is important to treat others homes and animals with the respect and care of my personal home and pets.

About: I’m the 38 year mother of a 2 year old Dachshund and a 9 year old boy. We are a family of animal lovers and always love to have friends over! I spend a lot of time outside. The yard is not fenced in, but I’m at the end of a long and quiet road, nestled between the cul-de-sac and the woods. There are some neighborhood dogs and cats who wander around, visiting neighbor homes, and generally living their best life. I am working from home and have an extremely flexible schedule, so any visiting animals will get lots of attention and walks. The house has lots of dog toys strewn about. We are always having fun here. I have an unfenced yard, but we’re at the end of a quiet road on a cul-de-sac with woods surrounding. Small dogs will have access to the doggy door throughout the day. In addition to my dachshund August, there are many neighborhood dogs who wander and like to play together.
About: I have always been around and loved animals, I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "kids” and will do so with the upmost care and patience I can provide. I have a flexible work schedule and plenty of time to run around and provide excellent care for your animals, throughout the week and on weekends. My services focus on replicating your pet’s daily schedule—feeding, walking, and medication administration—to ensure a seamless, anxiety-free experience. I’ve worked in many homes before as a nanny, cleaner, and pet sitter.

We also have two dogs that love other dogs. One is a rescue Maltese and is 12 years old. The other is a 2 year old poodle, he is my husband's service dog so usually he is at work with my husband all day.
About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I love filling my days with walks, playtime, and furry company. Pets in my home get treated like family! I have a large fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for safe playtime and plenty of room to run. I currently have one sweet boy named max and a long-hair chihuahua on the way.

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. My dream has always been to open a rescue of my own one day! I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, from Yorkies to Dobermans. I’ve owned my GSP who stays at my moms house, since she was a puppy and house-trained her myself, so I’m experienced with the patience, consistency, and care that puppies require. I also help care for my mom’s 12-year-old dog, which has given me experience caring for older dogs as well. I’m comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels, and I truly treat every pet like family. I am currently in college and not working so i have plenty of time to care for your pups! I am available Mondays and Wednesdays after 10:45 and Tuesdays and Thursdays after 2:15!

“She was wonderful! This was my first time using the app and first time leaving my puppy with someone other than family. She answered all my questions and kept me updated every day. I will definitely use her again!”

We’ll treat your dog like one of our own and make sure they get the care, love, and potty breaks they need while you’re away! ❤️🐶 We love on the back of family property so there is ample amount of space to run around and play. However we do also have a fenced in yard for the one who like to explore!
“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.”

“I can tell my girls had a GREAT week with Kaitlyn — when I picked them up they were bathed and smelling GOOD and almost INSTANTLY went to sleep in the car, and I live only a few blocks away! ?? Very communicative and kept me posted. Will definitely be booking again in the future!”
“This was our first time using a sitter for our Peanut. Lauren scheduled a meet and greet before our trip to see how the dogs got along. All went well at the meet and greet. During Peanut's stay, Lauren sent numerous pictures and updates. We will definitely use again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 13, from pet sitting for neighbors, friends and family to working professionally in dog daycare and boarding facilities. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m comfortable giving medications, following prescription diets and special feeding instructions, and I also have experience giving insulin injections to diabetic dogs. My professional experience has also included bathing, daycare/boarding care and transporting pets. I have three dogs of my own, including my 11-year-old husky mix and two young dachshunds, so I’m very comfortable with everything from puppy energy to senior care. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and other pet care during weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, whether that means early potty breaks, meal times, medications or just some extra playtime and attention. I treat every pet like I would want someone to treat my own. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, potty schedules and each pet’s individual routine. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs and dogs with special care needs. I’m also very mindful of doors, gates, leashes and surroundings because I know how quickly a curious dog can decide it’s time for an adventure! I’m happy to follow whatever routine and safety rules you have in place in your home.
