About: I have about 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I follow care instructions closely, prioritize safety and routine, and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Hi! I’m Marissa, a responsible and caring animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in following care instructions closely. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My fiancé and I have an almost 2-year-old Aussie, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, playtime, and providing a safe, loving environment for pets in our home. I work part-time and attend school at LSUE a few hours two days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule for morning, afternoon, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in both my home and my client’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets in a clean and secure environment, and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly secured. I respect routines and communicate immediately if anything seems off. I treat every pet and home as if they were my own.

“This was our first time to use the Rover app. Katie made the experience of making final plans effortlessly. Our pet made himself at home immediately, upon arrival at her house..

“Dana did an amazing job with my 3 dogs. I was very nervous about leaving them with anyone, but she sent me updates and photos. When I came back home early she let me pick them up right away. I would recommend her to anyone”
About: Dogs are the most awesome pets to have. I love spending every free moment I have with mine Toby and Lance. They bring me happiness whenever I see them. They put me in check with what is important. I would have 20 of these little guys of my own if that would be possible. So instead I decided to become a pet-sitter and enjoy other people's pets. This also gives my dogs play time and social interaction with others. The greatest and most memorable times are the times spent with dogs. These guys deserve the best care and happiness we can provide them. So now Rover.com has provided me the opportunity to share my love for animals. You will not have any worries or doubts your will be in great hands of a responsible and attention to detail pet sitter.. Thanks for checking out my profile. I hope you book me soon for your pets! Mike J.

“Bridget did great with our cats while we were out of town. She cleaned up their messes and gave our older cat her meds every day. Her communication was great, and I got pics every day! Will definitely use her again!”
“Alexis did such an amazing job with our fur babies and went above and beyond. I highly recommend her and we will be rebooking with her next time we need to travel!”
“Callie did great overall! I’ve never booked with any professional sitter before so I was a little nervous about my cat being taken care of. She reassured me, sent check in pictures of Bee, and followed the list I gave her. My only complaint is we requested our litter bag to be thrown out 1-2 days before our arrival, and I figured that automatically implied the outside trash can, as we were gone on our honeymoon, so when we got back our house snuck horribly from the poop and pee in out kitchen trashcan.”
“Liz and Sage did such an amazing job with our two cats. They had excellent communication and followed instructions thoroughly. They went above and beyond their duties. We highly recommend and plan to use them again in the future.”
About: I’ve cared for animals my entire life, from farm animals to household pets, big and small, healthy and sick. Saying I love being around animals would honestly be an understatement! Over the years, I’ve helped care for ducks, horses, hamsters, rabbits, dogs, and more on a daily basis. I grew up with my own pup, Klare, and spent years taking her on daily walks and activities to help her burn off all that pit bull energy. Currently, I help care for a Pomeranian, a Wirehaired Pointer, and a Pit Bull mix, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and strengths, and I’m very attentive to animal behavior and body language to help keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or overnight care, I will treat them like they’re my own. I’d love the opportunity to walk, care for, or pet sit your furry family member! ❤️🐾 I am a full time student with a rotating clinical schedule, but I have availability throughout the week and on weekends. I keep a flexible schedule and am happy to work with pet owners to find times that fit their needs. 🐶🐾❤️ Im very respectful of one’s accommodations and requirements. I take full responsibility to leave you happy and worry free with everything your pet needs. Need an update? A picture of ur pet on the walk or while you’re gone? I got you! I can apply myself to any tasks needed.

“Bayleigh is fantastic! She is genuine and reliable and just a really great person. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and will absolutely be having her care for Remi again. It’s great to feel free to travel and know that Remi is well cared for. Remi loves everybody, but he really took to Bayleigh, probably because of her calm and kind manner with him.”

“I couldn't of been more grateful to find Chelsea to take care of Butter and Waffles like they were her own! She made sure to give consistent updates and follow their quirky needs/schedule that put my mind to ease.

About: Effective 09/10/2025 I will be available in the SW Louisiana area for services! My name is Kloe, and I am a 27 year old RN who is deciding to pursue her dream of working with and helping animals full time! I am enrolled in online courses for Veterinary Nursing through Purdue University. I am also a registered nurse with a Bachelor’s degree from Lamar University in Beaumont, and I hope to continue working part time in this role. I have loved and owned animals all my life. I routinely picked up strays starting as young as 10. I have four dogs of my own at the moment, but I have had as many as 10 in my home at a time! I have a long history of fostering dogs as well as dog sitting, both in the Houston area as a Rover sitter and privately in the smaller community of Jasper, TX. I have volunteered with multiple shelters and rescues since high school, and I have experience with a wide range of behaviors, personalities, and breeds. I have functional/basic bathing and grooming skills, such as nail trimming; I’m willing to add these services on for any new booking - whether it’s just check ins/walks or doggy daycare/boarding. Please reach out to me with any questions, even if you’re only lightly considering a new human friend for your dog! I am quite flexible, and I am looking forward to getting to know new families and pups in the area! My current routine can be a bit chaotic - between my career as a nurse, my vet tech program, and my own personal zoo to care for - but luckily this has made me a very flexible person! I an available most week days for walks, check ins, and anything else I can provide. I will be more selective with boarding or house-sitting so I can make sure your pets get the best care possible! Please reach out for any scheduling concerns and I would be happy to discuss how I could help. I am a very safety oriented person with my own animals and especially with others’ animals. I am very observant of my pets’ behaviors and personality so that I can identify potential problems early on and intervene. I enforce good leash manners at all times and overall encourage polite, calm behavior from my animals. I love to play a good round of fetch or tug-of-war and have no problem work with just about any behavior or play style.

I have an inside cat, but he is house trained and yard trained. I also did this with my grandparent’s dog who they’ve had since 2018. She is a very playful dog who loves outside play. They had a fenced in yard, but I would take her to the park often to give her more room to run around.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated, long‑time animal care professional with over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician and another 5 years working in animal rescue and adoption services. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including seniors, special‑needs pups, and dogs who require behavior‑savvy handling. My vet tech background means I’m comfortable with medication administration, monitoring health changes, basic first aid, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. My rescue work has given me deep experience with fearful, energetic, or previously underserved dogs, and I always meet each dog exactly where they are—patiently and positively. Above all, I’m an all‑around animal person who truly loves building trust and making sure your dog feels safe, understood, and well‑cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or keeping a consistent routine, I’m here to give your pup the same level of care I’d want for my own. I currently work full time but will make your pets a priority. I can drop in any time in the morning/afternoon. Weekends are a breeze and I can do over nights.

About: I’ve been in pet care for many years taking care of my own pets and other pets in my pre-vet collegiate career. I have background experience in agriculture and large animal care as well. I work from home so my pets are my day long coworkers! They help give me structure and a routine instead of sitting at my desk all day long. Spending time with them is always something to look forward to. I treat any animal the same as I treat my own pets. My dog is the light of my life and I know other pet parents feel the same about their own babies.
About: I didn’t have pets growing up but I’ve always wanted them! When I started my own family, me and my husband got our first pet cat named Sebastian and we love and care for him as if he was another one of our kids! We also added a dog named Astro to our growing family a couple of years after getting Sebastian, and he is so sweet and friendly. I have learned so much over the past few years about how to care and treat animals and I have enjoyed every minute of it! I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m currently working from home from 6am-3pm and I can even stop by on my lunch break! Weekends I have the most flexibility. I will treat your cats/pups with respect and give them the outstanding service(s) they need with a whole lot of love and care! I will take them on long walks and make sure they eat/drink well!

“Our fur babies had a wonderful time with Chantilly and her pup family. We highly recommend Chantilly; it was obvious they were happy during the time they spent with her. Thanks, Chantilly, for love with Moli and Oliver and for accommodating us on short notice!”
“We had a great experience with Mary - it was our first time leaving Charlie overnight with someone and she was great about sending updates and pictures/videos. It was such a relief for us to know he was in good hands!”
“Debbie watched over our pup for the weekend and we can tell she had a great time! She was well taken care of, loved, and played with. Debbie's dogs got along well with our puppy and she sent many pictures, letting us know that things are going well. 10/10 recommend.”
“Auggie’s first visit with Jada went great. She kept us informed and sent pictures which was appreciated. Will definitely book again when needed. Thankful that we have someone we can trust with our sweet pup.”

About: I have about 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I follow care instructions closely, prioritize safety and routine, and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Hi! I’m Marissa, a responsible and caring animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in following care instructions closely. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My fiancé and I have an almost 2-year-old Aussie, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, playtime, and providing a safe, loving environment for pets in our home. I work part-time and attend school at LSUE a few hours two days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule for morning, afternoon, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in both my home and my client’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets in a clean and secure environment, and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly secured. I respect routines and communicate immediately if anything seems off. I treat every pet and home as if they were my own.
“Deisha did such a good job with our two pups! She has a great backyard and made pick up and drop off a breeze. We especially enjoyed meeting her ahead of time to make sure it was a good fit! We will be trusting her with our girls again soon!”

About: I have been in the anima care field for more than 10 years. I have personal experience in boarding, medical, and training as I have worked in a professional boarding facility that specialized in enrichment programs. I also have worked in vet clinics as an assistant for 7 years. I own a training business that specializes in obedience, puppy manners, and gun-dog training using force free and positive reinforcement methods. I make sure to offer structure and enrichment during your pups stay. I’m currently self employed and work from home. I make sure to follow the schedule of the owners as close as possible and make sure to offer daily structure and enrichment during the pets stay. I personally keep your pet in their own personal space to help them feel safe and comfortable. During potty times if they are comfortable they can interact with my personal dogs individually or altogether depending on their needs. While staying in my home they are kept on leash for any outside time to keep them safe as I don’t have a fenced in yard. Depending on the needs within a clients own home I will meet the current schedule and structure within the home.
About: Dogs are the most awesome pets to have. I love spending every free moment I have with mine Toby and Lance. They bring me happiness whenever I see them. They put me in check with what is important. I would have 20 of these little guys of my own if that would be possible. So instead I decided to become a pet-sitter and enjoy other people's pets. This also gives my dogs play time and social interaction with others. The greatest and most memorable times are the times spent with dogs. These guys deserve the best care and happiness we can provide them. So now Rover.com has provided me the opportunity to share my love for animals. You will not have any worries or doubts your will be in great hands of a responsible and attention to detail pet sitter.. Thanks for checking out my profile. I hope you book me soon for your pets! Mike J.
