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.
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.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Malayjia! From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease leaving Shiloh and Athena in her care. She sent thoughtful updates and adorable photos throughout their stay, and it was obvious they were happy, relaxed, and being treated like family. Seeing them stretched out sleeping so peacefully told me everything I needed to know—they felt safe, comfortable, and loved. That kind of peace of mind is priceless when you’re away from your pets. Malayjia truly exceeded my expectations. She treated my dogs as if they were her own, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust her with them again. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and genuinely amazing with animals, I wholeheartedly recommend her. Five stars simply aren’t enough. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my babies! ❤️🐾”
“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.. We also received photos while we were out of town. Katie was very accommodating to our change in pickup plans. We will definitely schedule with Katie when future boarding services are needed.”
About: I have worked at a few vet clinics and I have worked in a doggy day care. I have taken care of all types of dogs. I have taken care of pets who need medication or have behavioral complications. I work full time in a Vet clinic but I am available most evenings after 4pm and I am available on Saturday and Sundays as well. I have a fenced in backyard for my dog to run around play, during the summer we love to get the hose out and have some fun. I have plenty of toys and a large crate in case a dog needs it.
“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!”
“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”
“Jami was really great! I felt comfortable and happy about leaving my Luna. My pet was well taken care of, had plenty of space and playmates. I would highly recommend her and will definitely consider her for future bookings. Thank you Jami!”

Since I’m home most of the time, I can easily accommodate different routines and time needs, including last minute requests when possible.

“Callie was amazing with my little dog Emma. I was so worried about leaving her with anyone. She sent me pictures and always responded when I checked in to see how Emma was doing. Emma was happy to see me but not out of control happy like she usually is which tells me she didn’t miss me too much and was in good hands lol ?”
“Cassidy was so amazing with our dog!! She sent us pictures, updated us along the way, made our girl feel at home and special. Cassidy was on-time, caring and very professional. I can not recommend her enough and will be booking again. As a dog mom, having someone you trust to watch your dog is extremely relieving. Cassidy is your person!!!”

“Caleb is a real find. She is punctual, considerate and personable. She adores her cats and that carries through to the care she gives to mine. Caleb made it possible for me to enjoy my trip knowing that my two boys were in good hands. I am definitely panning to ask her to care for them in the future.”
“She was excellent. She sent me videos. She sent me pictures. She kept me Update on Audrey, who was hiding in the bedroom for the longest time. She tried to change out the battery in the tag and it turned out to be rusted and yes, I would use her again very much.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and I have had two of my own for years now. My oldest being 13. These are country pups who love to get down and have a good time.

I can cater to anything your dogs need with the amount of time and space I have.
“Great help. We were in a bind because our old provider closed shop on short notice. Bridget was responsive, active, and gave us great photo updates while we were out of town.”
“Alexis was fantastic! She was extremely easy to work and communicate with! Our cats really enjoyed her coming to check on them, and we enjoyed the daily check ins! We loved the notes she left us and knowing our babies were in great hands. We would recommend her to anyone! We came home to happy cats :)”
“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.”

About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved animals. I think fur babies are the sweetest thing because although they’re only with you for a little of their lives, you’re with them for all of theirs. I currently have a Shih Tzu & tuxedo cat of my own named Marble who are big babies. I currently work remotely Monday-Thursday 8:30 AM-4:30 PM so I’ll be home just about the whole day with your furry ones! Potty breaks, walks, and movie nights here won’t be a problem! I have a large yard next to my house so potty breaks won’t be a problem. Also I have an adult fixed Shih Tzu that loves naps, belly rubs, and playing to keep your fur one company!
About: I am active and love to be active with a canine. I moved back to Louisiana from Hawaii in 2021. I have been an active Rover sitter in Honolulu since 2018. I love dogs and enjoy when they visit my home. My sweet Bear passed away last year so opening my home to care for other fur babies is extra special. I would really like to share the love I have to give with your dog/s. Also, I know dogs miss their owners and get lonely when their loved ones are away. I enjoy being able to keep your dog/s company and make sure they have all of their needs met; love, attention, treats, activities, etc. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals (wild and domestic). I have owned dogs, cats, cows, horses, rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, pigs, guinea pigs, hamsters, skunk, fish, turtles, sugar gliders, and prairie dogs. I have a college degree in biology and I worked as a veterinary tech while attending college. I work and babysit part-time so my schedule is flexible. I am home to cuddle and spend time in the yard as needed. We love to play outside. I have a fenced in yard with quite neighbors. It is very peaceful in my backyard. I love to spend time outdoors in my yard unless it is extremely hot or raining. I also love to take fur babies on outings to parks and wildlife areas.
About: Pet lover! I have always had a pet in my life and have over 12 years of experience with them. I have open availability on weekends and can make time during the week with notice! I will always show them affection and care to their needs. I’ll treat them like my own! I will bring them treats and toys. We will take many bathroom breaks and make sure they are comfortable while their best friend is away. My time spent with your pet will be one hundred percent revolved around them and I will always strive to keep them safe and happy. You will be at peace while you are away from your fur friend! Open to any requests you have. I currently work at a hospital during the week, but with notice my schedule can be flexible and I can fit certain services in. Please do not hesitate to reach out! I like to meet your fur babies prior to our time together and make sure everyone is comfortable. I’ll go over what your pet enjoys and expects on a daily basis so that I can make sure they are as happy as can be while you’re away.
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for cats and currently share my home with three of my own. Two are happy indoor companions, while my third is harness-trained and enjoys going on walks and even joining me on outings in a carrier backpack — so I’m very comfortable working with cats who have unique personalities, enrichment needs, or established routines. I understand that cats thrive on consistency and a calm environment. I take time to learn each cat’s individual preferences, whether that means interactive play, quiet companionship, maintaining litter box routines, or simply respecting a more independent personality. I’m experienced with kittens as well as adult and senior cats, and I’m comfortable administering medications when needed. My goal is always to reduce stress while you’re away by keeping your cat’s routine familiar and providing attentive, gentle care tailored specifically to them. I prioritize a calm, low-stress environment and let each cat set the pace for interaction and care.

“Mary was absolutely wonderful! First, she was able to watch my dog on very short notice and was able to watch him until very late in the evening.

I would definitely recommend Mary and will book her again in the future :)”

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 a large yard next to my house so potty breaks won’t be a problem. Also I have an adult fixed Shih Tzu that loves naps, belly rubs, and playing to keep your fur one company!
About: I grew up on a farm where I helped take care of livestock (cows, horses, goats, chickens, ducks) and plenty of pets at a young age. Pets have always been a huge part of my life and are always treated as family. I understand how valuable and important it is to have someone trustworthy taking care of your companions. I am currently unemployed due to a lay off but I will be back to working full time soon. I will be available at any time up until I go back to work. I have 3 dogs of my own which I normally bring for on leash walks or to the dog park and sometimes I’ll bring my own to my dads in the country to let them roam freely.
About: Pet lover! I have always had a pet in my life and have over 12 years of experience with them. I have open availability on weekends and can make time during the week with notice! I will always show them affection and care to their needs. I’ll treat them like my own! I will bring them treats and toys. We will take many bathroom breaks and make sure they are comfortable while their best friend is away. My time spent with your pet will be one hundred percent revolved around them and I will always strive to keep them safe and happy. You will be at peace while you are away from your fur friend! Open to any requests you have. I currently work at a hospital during the week, but with notice my schedule can be flexible and I can fit certain services in. Please do not hesitate to reach out! I like to meet your fur babies prior to our time together and make sure everyone is comfortable. I’ll go over what your pet enjoys and expects on a daily basis so that I can make sure they are as happy as can be while you’re away.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and currently share my home with three dogs and three cats of my own. Animals have always been central to my life, and I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. In addition to lifelong pet ownership, I have extensive experience in dog rescue. At one point I was actively caring for and rehabilitating 14 dogs at once, working with animals from a variety of backgrounds, temperaments, and medical needs. That experience taught me patience, strong observation skills, and how to quickly recognize changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable caring for pets at every life stage — energetic puppies and kittens, adult animals with established routines, and seniors who need extra time and compassion. I also have hands-on experience with special needs pets, including administering medications, maintaining detailed care schedules, and assisting animals with mobility challenges. Most recently, I cared for a senior pit bull with hind-end weakness who required lifting assistance to stand and walk, along with consistent medication management. Providing calm, steady support for pets who need extra help is something I truly enjoy. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine familiar and low-stress while providing dependable care, lots of affection, and clear communication so you always know how things are going at home. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I currently work part-time as a work-from-home contractor, which allows me a very flexible schedule and makes it easy to adapt my day around pet care needs. Because I’m home much of the time, I’m able to provide consistent attention, regular check-ins, and reliable care throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for to ensure feeding times, walks, medication schedules, and companionship needs are met without disruption. Whether it’s short visits, overnight stays, or extended care, I’m able to adjust my routine to prioritize your pet’s comfort and consistency. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is maintaining their normal routine and environment as closely as possible to reduce stress. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walk routines, medication needs, and any specific behavioral or medical guidelines. I approach each home with respect and responsibility, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. I understand the importance of trust when someone is caring for both your pets and your space, and I communicate regularly so you always know how things are going. With experience caring for animals of all ages—including rescues, seniors, and pets with special medical needs—I’m comfortable adapting to whatever level of care is required. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive care so your pets feel safe, understood, and well cared for in your absence.
About: I’m a huge animal lover with four dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’ve been pet sitting for my neighbors for years and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting in your home. Since I’m a teacher on summer break, I have lots of free time and a super flexible schedule—perfect for giving your pets the attention they deserve! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow any instructions you leave and make sure your pet sticks to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m experienced with different breeds and temperaments, and I know how to read animal body language to help them feel safe and secure. When I’m in your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want from someone watching my own pets. I keep things tidy, follow house rules, and make sure your pet is happy and well-cared for. If there’s ever anything you want to check in on, I’m always happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

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!

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.
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about Malayjia! From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and made me feel completely at ease leaving Shiloh and Athena in her care. She sent thoughtful updates and adorable photos throughout their stay, and it was obvious they were happy, relaxed, and being treated like family. Seeing them stretched out sleeping so peacefully told me everything I needed to know—they felt safe, comfortable, and loved. That kind of peace of mind is priceless when you’re away from your pets. Malayjia truly exceeded my expectations. She treated my dogs as if they were her own, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust her with them again. If you’re looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and genuinely amazing with animals, I wholeheartedly recommend her. Five stars simply aren’t enough. Thank you for taking such incredible care of my babies! ❤️🐾”
“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.. We also received photos while we were out of town. Katie was very accommodating to our change in pickup plans. We will definitely schedule with Katie when future boarding services are needed.”
