“Brenley and his family took great care of our dog while we were gone for two weeks. He sent many updates and made us feel at ease being away from our boy. We fully plan on using them again”
“Chauna was absolutely amazing with our little Beignet. She provided an update and photos of our baby every day. When we picked him up he seemed so happy yet disappointed to leave. We'll be using her again and we will recommend her to everyone. 10/10”
“Worried about leaving your fur baby with a stranger? Kristin is your girl! She kept us updated with pics & videos & it was obvious he was happy & spoiled. He was bathed & wearing a cute bandana when I picked him up. We will definitely use her again for boarding.”
“Alex was such a great host for Bailey. She communicated well with me during the time Bailey was in her care. I would recommend her to anyone because she is very loving and caring when it comes to animals. She was very in tuned to Bailey’s feelings and was able to make her comfortable and less anxious. This was Bailey’s first time being without me and having to be with someone she did not know and Alex made sure she would be OK. I would use Alex anytime she is such a great sitter.”
“This was the first overnight boarding experience for my dogs and Holly was well prepared and equipped for handling multiple dogs. Plenty of grass to roam and occasional pictures of happy dogs. Would come again!”

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.”
“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!!!”
“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!!!!”

About: Hi I’m Mandi , I’ve basically raised & trained dogs of all breeds & sizes my entire life. I’ve never really met a stranger when it comes to meeting pups ! Definitely love dogs more then most humans ! Lol. I also specialize in puppy care / whelping as I’m a breeder myself as well. I’m currently working part time & pretty home based. So I have all the time to properly care for your pup ! Your pup would never be left home alone or unattended ! I have a small fenced in area around my home incase your fur baby likes to be outside. I do keep boardings indoors at all times & I always take dogs out one by one for walks very frequently. Your fur baby would never be left alone or unsupervised 🙂.
“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.”
“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.”
“Hands down the best sitter in town! Chloe is amazing not only with my fur baby but with the communication and attention everyone needs to be calm away from my pup! Thanks Chloe to you and your husband for having Chief as your companion!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience working at a veterinary office, where I’ve gained valuable knowledge about pet health and behavior. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing special care for senior pets or those with medical needs. I also have experience training puppies, helping them learn basic commands and positive habits with patience and kindness. Above all, I’m passionate about animals and committed to giving each pet personalized attention, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is an important and enjoyable part of my daily and weekly routine. Whether it’s walking dogs, feeding cats, or spending quality time playing and comforting animals, I make sure to prioritize their needs consistently. Working at a vet office has taught me the importance of regular schedules, so I’m very organized with feeding times, medication administration, and exercise to keep pets happy and healthy. I genuinely love making pet care a regular, rewarding part of my life. When pets stay in my home, I create a warm and safe environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I stick to their regular feeding and exercise schedules to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I provide plenty of playtime and affection to help them feel happy and secure. I’m attentive to their individual needs, including any medication or special care, and I always monitor their health closely. My home becomes a cozy, caring space where pets can relax and enjoy their time while their owners are away.
About: I've had cats my entire life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. They're truly my favorite animals, and I understand their unique personalities, from playful and curious to shy and independent. Because of my lifelong experience, I'm comfortable reading their behavior, respecting their space, and building trust at their pace. I know how important it is for cats to feel safe and relaxed in their own environment, and I take the time to make sure they're comfortable, well cared for, and given attention in a way that suits them. Whether it's playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to their routine, I'm dedicated to making sure every cat feels happy and secure while you're away.
About: I have a dog and a cat of my own that I have loved and taken care of for over 10 years. I also dog sit, bathe, walk, and feed my neighbors, friends, and families dogs on countless occasions! I recently graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University and have some free time before my summer internship starts. For now, my days are pretty much free. I unfortunately do not offer boarding or in home sitting at this time but may in the future. If you need a walker or quick drop by I’m your girl!
About: I’ve had multiple of different breeds of dogs and cats in my life and almost all of them had an underlying condition I’ve needed to be watchful for. Owning a golden retriever and German shepherd myself, I know tons of tips, tricks, and have tons of time for all the love and care in the world. I have a pretty flexible schedule at the moment and I’m willing to work with whoever needs for me to take care of their fur baby. 😊 Having two rambunctious fur babies myself, I ensure that during play time I am able to watch and monitor any specific behavior, or if it’s gets a little too “WWE” 🤣 I understand that when I’m going into your home it may be uncomfortable to have a stranger come in, but I am more than happy to provide a background check, a meet and greet, and just about anything to make sure all parties are comfortable. 😊

About: I have grown up with dogs before I even had a conscious mind. I have loved dogs and animals in general my whole life. there is nothing more that I would like to do than make an animal feel taken care of. being always surrounded by animals at various ages has given me plenty of different experiences- for example, taking care of a dog with seizures, cancer, diabetes, and more. I have dealt with dogs with high anxiety and managing to keep them at a calm state but I have also dealt with dogs who have more aggression and have learned ways to calm them as well. I truly do have a love for animals beyond anything else. I genuinely enjoy any time I can get with them. there is a 100% guarantee that if there is an animal at someones house..I'm with it. I am looking forward to taking care of everyone's little animals (their children) and providing the best care not only for the pet in need but for the owner to feel reassured that their animal is in good hands. I am currently working four times a week but being able to take care of fur babies has been something I have been wanting to do for the longest time!! so although my schedule can be tight I'm willing to work around it when I can. I used to have three dogs in total in all different sizes. I took care of my dogs as if they were my literal children. at points they were probably too spoiled but I couldn't help it! I always made sure my dogs were fed and went out my way to find the best food that would suit their individual needs. two of my dogs were super anxious especially during any type of storm and I never turned them away, I was willing to do anything to make them feel safe. even if that meant sleeping on the floor or some nights not getting any sleep. more often than not I out my dogs first! one of my dogs loved walks so therefore I took him (and still take him) own a walk everyday and let him take as much time as he needs. I don't believe in hitting or yelling at any animal/using any form of aggression. I am a very empathetic and compassionate person. I am not quick to anger I'm only quick to solve whatever issue may be at hand. and my most important goal to create the best experience I can for the animals and owners.
“Kristin is the best cat sitter ever!!! Our cats loved their stay with her so much!! She pampered our babies and treated them so well. Sent videos, pictures, & updates everyday while we were on our trip. I 100% recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again for all future trips.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing. I had a cat with health issues and I was so so nervous to leave her. By the second day, I felt I had left her in the perfect hands. Sarah took time every day to find each one of my 3 cats and cater to each of their needs. She texted pictures and funny stories. She even broke though to my most aloof cat. Amazing! I will ABSOLUTELY be using her again and she comes with my HIGHEST of recommendations. Thank you!!!”

If a fenced in yard is required I will be happy to make accommodations to make sure he/she/they are able to spend time outside in an enclosed area.

I don’t have any restrictions for what furniture they are allowed on and have my own washable dog beds that they can use unless the owner prefers otherwise .

About: I’ve always loved animals and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets. I own a dog who I raised and helped train, including basic commands and gentle behavior. I also grew up helping my grandparents on their farm, caring for chickens, goats, and dogs, and I’ve watched various breeds over the past few years. I treat every dog like my own and always strive to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My day starts by feeding the pets, letting my dog outside, and cleaning my cat’s litter box. I make sure they have a comfortable space and plenty of attention during the day. I usually leave for work between 3–5 PM and return no later than 10 PM. When I get home, I feed them again, let them out, and make sure everyone is settled for the night. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time. I also have one dog and one cat who get along well, and I have a secure system in place to separate pets if needed to ensure everyone stays comfortable and safe.

“Alex is fantastic. She was so good with my pup. She asked questions about his temperament and personality, she listened to my instructions about how to greet him because we’re working with another trainer; the whole nine. She brought my pup back and he whined when she was leaving like watched her car and whined. He was so happy to be with her and he came back so tired!! I will absolutely continue to use Alex and would recommend her to any of my friends and family.”
About: I have a dog and a cat of my own that I have loved and taken care of for over 10 years. I also dog sit, bathe, walk, and feed my neighbors, friends, and families dogs on countless occasions! I recently graduated from Southeastern Louisiana University and have some free time before my summer internship starts. For now, my days are pretty much free. I unfortunately do not offer boarding or in home sitting at this time but may in the future. If you need a walker or quick drop by I’m your girl!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience working at a veterinary office, where I’ve gained valuable knowledge about pet health and behavior. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing special care for senior pets or those with medical needs. I also have experience training puppies, helping them learn basic commands and positive habits with patience and kindness. Above all, I’m passionate about animals and committed to giving each pet personalized attention, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care is an important and enjoyable part of my daily and weekly routine. Whether it’s walking dogs, feeding cats, or spending quality time playing and comforting animals, I make sure to prioritize their needs consistently. Working at a vet office has taught me the importance of regular schedules, so I’m very organized with feeding times, medication administration, and exercise to keep pets happy and healthy. I genuinely love making pet care a regular, rewarding part of my life. When pets stay in my home, I create a warm and safe environment where they can feel comfortable and loved. I stick to their regular feeding and exercise schedules to keep their routine consistent and stress-free. I provide plenty of playtime and affection to help them feel happy and secure. I’m attentive to their individual needs, including any medication or special care, and I always monitor their health closely. My home becomes a cozy, caring space where pets can relax and enjoy their time while their owners are away.

About: I love dogs! I have 1 very spolied dog, King. He's a4 year old boxer that gives an impression that he'll eat you for lunch, but he's the biggest sweetheart!! I spoil and love on him every chance I can. He'll never want for anything, except more kisses! I want to share that love with other dogs in my spare time. I have a lot of love to go around. Your fur baby will go on walks and updates will be left for you to view upon your return! I am a very honest and reliable individual. I am punctual probably to a fault. Dont want me feed treats to your furry friend? I will never do what I am told not to. You can trust me and you'll be recommending me to your friends!! King usually sleeps all day, but I make sure he goes out and runs around several times a day. I go on long walks, but he had a very expensive surgery and I don't think he can take long walks. Whether I'm caring for a pet in my home or a client's home, all rules will be followed. My primary reason for being on Rover and caring for dogs is to make sure that nothing is missed while the hoomans are away!
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 always had animals in my life. I know each one is different and special. I grew up on a farm so I know having a loving and compassionate person to care for your babies is a necessity when you have animals. I am a stay at home mom so while the kids are at school I have plenty of time to come by and play with your babies. I have a fenced in courtyard area in my home. 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: Animals have always been the center of my world, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to care for just about every kind of pet, from bouncy puppies and cuddly kittens to gentle seniors who just need a little extra patience and love. I also have experience with training and even dog showing, which taught me the importance of consistency, communication, and building trust with every animal. More than anything, I believe every pet deserves kindness, attention, and to feel like part of the family, so when they’re with me, that’s exactly what they’ll get. I am currently working part time and have some extra time to offer my services that i haven’t been able to recently. I only work a few hours mid day so i can take on just about any animals! My pets are already a huge part of my daily life from feeding, training, walking, enrichment etc. I can offer personalized care for each pets specific enrichment needs! I have a fenced in yard with safety latches for as much safety as possible. I live in a safe calm neighborhood with amazing neighbors.My whole house is designed around animals. We have a specific dog room and a cat room with safety gates etc to keep pets separate if needed and we have multiple wire kennels. We also have car kennels for safe traveling to any activities your pets would like!
About: I’ve had multiple of different breeds of dogs and cats in my life and almost all of them had an underlying condition I’ve needed to be watchful for. Owning a golden retriever and German shepherd myself, I know tons of tips, tricks, and have tons of time for all the love and care in the world. I have a pretty flexible schedule at the moment and I’m willing to work with whoever needs for me to take care of their fur baby. 😊 Having two rambunctious fur babies myself, I ensure that during play time I am able to watch and monitor any specific behavior, or if it’s gets a little too “WWE” 🤣 I understand that when I’m going into your home it may be uncomfortable to have a stranger come in, but I am more than happy to provide a background check, a meet and greet, and just about anything to make sure all parties are comfortable. 😊
About: Hi there amazing pet parents! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Since I was a teenager, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. Professionally, I’ve worked at several kennels, volunteered at Tangi Humane Society & been a foster mom for Cajun Tails Rescue, worked at Hammond Veterinary Services, and I’m currently with Hickory Small Animal Hospital as I am also pursuing veterinary technician license. I’m trained in pet CPR, administering medications and vaccines, and have experience with both energetic puppies and senior pets with special needs. Your pet’s health, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have three friendly fur babies of my own at home who love making new friends. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with the love and care they deserve! 💕 Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—it’s something I’ve built my schedule around for years. Whether it’s morning walks, mealtime routines, training sessions, or evening playtime, caring for animals is second nature to me. Since I work in a veterinary setting and have pets of my own, I’m constantly engaged in caring for animals both professionally and personally. It’s not just a job for me—it’s a lifestyle I love and live every day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In my home, pets are treated like family—they have plenty of space to play, relax, and enjoy companionship with my own friendly dogs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. When caring for pets in your home, I work to maintain their normal routine to reduce stress while you’re away. I respect your space and make sure everything is clean and tidy when you return. I provide regular updates, photos, and am always just a message away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or specialized care, I tailor each visit to your pet’s individual needs.
“Outstanding!! My dog lives her and would have went home with her, she's loving and a true animal lover. I'll continue to use her. Thanks for taking care of my diabetic dog, and being so thoughtful about his special needs.”
About: I have worked with big dogs like Great Pyrenees and , medium dogs like Pit bulls, and small dogs like toy poodles. My most recent dog lived to be 14 years old and so I’ve grown an appreciation and understanding of care for those dogs. My current dog is a fostered young Pit Bull from the shelter. I don’t discriminate on dog breed or age. I also works with snakes so I’ve had my fair share of bites, it’s just something that comes with the job. I haven’t owned a cat of my own but I love cats and am starting to realize I may be a cat person! I’m currently a Grad student at SELU so I’m busy on Mondays and Wednesday’s but have a lot more time over the weekend and during Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. I crate trained my current foster dog so I can crate your animals if necessary. I also have a back yard so I’m used to letting animals out on a leash.

“Chauna was absolutely amazing with our little Beignet. She provided an update and photos of our baby every day. When we picked him up he seemed so happy yet disappointed to leave. We'll be using her again and we will recommend her to everyone. 10/10”
“Worried about leaving your fur baby with a stranger? Kristin is your girl! She kept us updated with pics & videos & it was obvious he was happy & spoiled. He was bathed & wearing a cute bandana when I picked him up. We will definitely use her again for boarding.”
“Alex was such a great host for Bailey. She communicated well with me during the time Bailey was in her care. I would recommend her to anyone because she is very loving and caring when it comes to animals. She was very in tuned to Bailey’s feelings and was able to make her comfortable and less anxious. This was Bailey’s first time being without me and having to be with someone she did not know and Alex made sure she would be OK. I would use Alex anytime she is such a great sitter.”
“This was the first overnight boarding experience for my dogs and Holly was well prepared and equipped for handling multiple dogs. Plenty of grass to roam and occasional pictures of happy dogs. Would come 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.”
