“Chelsy did a great job caring for Hart. He's an older dog and shy around new people. She sent us oico and updates often and reassurance that he was doing well. We will be booking with Chelsy again soon!”
“Kenya took care of our Milo for 9 days while we were out of the country. And she was so awesome with him. She often sent us updates and pictures in regards to Milo while we were so far away. I really appreciated that so much! We will certainly book Kenya again! I wish I could give her more than 5-stars.”
“We were so nervous leaving Willow with someone for the first time. Carol is wonderful! She is so patient and kind. She sent messages and pictures every day. She gave us piece of mind to be able to enjoy our vacation. We would definitely recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much!”
“Savannah took in my dog on short notice, was very thoughtful to make sure to accommodate for special needs. Cricket looked very relaxed when I picked her up. Thank you Savannah!”
“Kelly was an excellent choice to watch Hoss for a couple of days while I was out of town. She was quick to respond and offered a very flexible schedule as it related to drop-off/pick-up options. We've already been in discussions for the next booking, would recommend.”
“She was amazing! She sent me pictures of her and my fur baby and my Diamond started getting attached to her! She kept me updated the entire 4 days and I will definitely be returning if I need care again. I was nervous because it was my JRT's 1st time boarding but she made it super fun and relaxing for her! Thank you so much”
“Nicolette was professional and courteous in every sense. It’s understandable why she has so many positive reviews and repeat customers. I wish my dog wasn’t so high energy. It sometimes leads to him becoming over anxious and nervous as well as affecting his eating but that’s just the nature of a rat terrier. I would not hesitate to recommend Nicolette to anyone including friends and family.”
“Elise was very professional yet warm and kind. I think our lab may have not wanted to come back home. I will definitely recommend Elise to anyone looking to get their best friend back in better condition than they were left. Will use here again in the future if she is available.”
“Jason was super nice to us and awesome with our Border collie! Kept her super active and played with her a lot! Our dog is definitely looking forward to staying with him again!”
“Angela and Bill absolutely pampered our senior greyhound. She is very nervous in new environments, but they made her feel completely safe and cared for while we were away. They went above and beyond to make sure she ate every meal, took all of her medications, and stayed comfortable and happy the entire time. They even gave her a bath before we picked her up, which was such a thoughtful touch. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our sweet senior girl was being loved on like family. We would absolutely trust them with her again and cannot recommend them enough.”
“Janelle was very attentive and supportive during my booking. She is very responsive and will provide you with update on your fur baby. She sends pictures and keeps you updated. I will definitely be booking with her again!!”
About: I have worked as a vet assistant at an animal hospital for 3.5 years with plans to apply to the LSU vet school. I have also owned and cared for animals my whole life, including farm experience. I am currently working part time, so I don’t have many weekly hours. I also live with my fiancée who is part time as well in a two bedroom townhouse. I have an unfenced yard with plenty of grass and walking area. I have 2 very friendly medium sized dogs to keep your dogs company. I have a large kennel if needed. I am also very active and can run and walk long distance for active dogs.
“Communicates well, his experience and knowledge helped me worry less about leaving Lumi for the first time. I received check-ins/update with how Lumi was adjusting. Lumi will definitely be boarding with Keith again.”
“Tracy was absolutely amazing with Rocky. She was so sweet and caring from the very beginning. She kept me updated the entire time, sending pictures and letting me know how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rocky came back home calm, happy, and not nervous at all, that says everything. I’m truly grateful for how well she took care of him. Highly recommend her and would definitely trust her again with Rocky”
“This was my dog’s first time staying with her and it went great! I’m so cautious about who they stay with because they’re so particular about who they vibe with but they loved it! She sent regular updates and she didn’t mind doing anything we asked for the dogs. It’s also a great space for dogs with a nice size yard. I’m very grateful.”

“Ms. Jamryiah was very kind and patient with both me and my dog. I was initially nervous about allowing someone into my home and trusting them to care for my dog, but she did an excellent job. She communicated effectively throughout the process, and my dog truly enjoyed his time with her. I highly appreciate her professionalism and care.”

“Anika came to my house five days out of the week for a month to walk and train my puppy. He was the most well-behaved dog you’ve ever met after working with her. As a first-time dog owner, she always gave advice and helped assuage my anxieties. Timeliness/communication: A+ Thoroughness: A+ Care and concern for your pet: A+”
“She was a amazing cat sitter and she came back feed and ready to face the world 100/100 will try her again... The constant updated made us feel connected even when we were away.. SHE IS THE ONE!!!! Thanks for all you do..”
About: While I didn’t grow up with cats until I was older since I was scared of them, I think because of that I was able to really form a connection with cats for who they are haha. I had two female family cats and I loved them very much, they were super self dependent but I was always super grateful when they wanted cuddles. At my part time job they board cats for over night or just for the day so I have experience in regular feeding, medicating, playing and changing litter boxes. I love when a kitty plays with a flirt pole, i’ll play all day until my arm falls off if I could. I also love some good kitty snuggles so if your cat wants some I will be more then happy!
“Melanie was great! She made us feel at peace being away from home for so long over Christmas and New Years. The multiple pictures and detailed updates were exactly what we needed. We would rebook her again if we are ever out of town like that again!”
“Amy did an awesome job. We are extremely happy with how she took care of our fur babies. She never hesitated with anything we asked of her. We will definitely ask for Amy again when go on our next trip!! ??⬛”

So your baby can roam a little outside. I also have doggy beds/ blankets/ pads. I can also provide food if preferred.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, including dog sitting for friends and neighbors and owning my own dog for the past six years. As a dog owner, I understand how stressful it can be when your dog is out of sight, so I closely supervise dogs at all times and do not allow off-leash activity or interactions with unfamiliar dogs. Safety and attentive care are always my top priorities. I work remotely during the day and attend school in the evenings, so I am only away from home for a short period, about three hours. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, timely walks, and attentive care throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and one dog in my home. Dogs are always closely supervised, kept on leash outside the yard, and never allowed to interact with unfamiliar dogs. Safety, structure, and consistency are my top priorities.
About: From horses, to dogs, cats, rabbits, and more, I have been around animals my entire life and honestly I'm not sure I'd do without them! In addition to having a love for animals, I have a passion for veterinary medicine and have been in the veterinary field for the last 13 years. Owners will have confidence and peace of mind that I am very familiar with animal behavior and can quickly assess any situation. If you are looking for someone who is great with communication, updates, and will treat your pet like their own, then I would love to give your fur baby a safe place to stay while you're away! **We do have a fully fenced yard and someone here at all times. **Board and train also available upon request. Aside from working 2-3 half day shifts at the the vet clinic, I do work around my barn from home and have ample amount of time to spend with both my pets and yours to make sure they are not alone for hours on end. My home is often called puppy heaven by clients and friends! I have several dog-friendly pups of my own that are off-leash trained and enjoy running and playing in my fenced yard of several acres. If your pup needs any special accommodations, daily meds, or needs to be hand walked, etc., health and safety is priority and I am happy to go above and beyond to make them feel at home!

About: I’ve taken care of a bunch of different animals around the neighborhood within my family. I’m very energetic and playful, but I can also be very calm if the pet likes that more! Right now, I am stay at home mostly because I’m injured and I can’t work my server job right now and I’m just getting ready to leave for college so this would perfectly fit into my schedule as I’m mostly free! I care for pets in my home with food and water same with clients homes. I treat the pets with respect and I play games with them. I follow the rules of whatever the caretaker wants me to follow to make the pet feel most comfortable.
“Anika clearly cares so much about dogs. Before booking my dog in for daycare, she wanted to meet with us to see if our dogs were a good fit together. I really appreciated her taking the time to do that, because my dog is extremely playful and energetic and not all dogs can handle that! Knowing about a bad previous experience I had with a sitter, I feel like she took extra care to send me updates and pictures of Kaju to put me at ease. She went above and beyond in his care- taking him for walks, letting him play with her dog in the yard, and feeding him on time. I trust her completely to care for Kaju, and I know he trusts her too because he was able to take naps at her place (something that he is not always able to do due to trust issues). Anika is an exemplary dog sitter and we will be returning regularly!”
“My experience with Robin was exceptional. I have used another sitter through Rover before and the experience was okay, but I noticed my puppy would come home very riled up and needing to immediately decompress. It often felt like I had to calm him down and get him back to his normal baseline. With Robin, the experience was completely different. When I picked him up, he was calm, relaxed, and acting exactly like he does at home. Even during the ride back, he settled into his crate and rested. That told me he was comfortable and well cared for during his stay. I was also a little nervous about having him around other dogs since he hasn’t spent a lot of time with other puppies. Robin was incredibly patient and reassuring. She allowed me to observe and helped me feel confident that he would be just fine, and he truly was. Another thing that stood out was how much my puppy liked her right away. As soon as he got out of the car, he was excited and curious about going inside, which meant a lot to me. I’m so glad I found Robin and truly look forward to working with her again. It’s clear my puppy felt safe and comfortable in her care.”
“My dog absolutely loved him. He was anxious the first day but Keith really helped him get comfortable and by the third day he was happily running inside, not sparing me a second glance. Would 100% have Keith watch my dog again.”
“Taylor responded quickly regarding her availability. 1st time user of Rover. Was very nervous but Taylor sent pictures during the day. I was helping my granddaughter get settled at college. Next visit, I will be checking in with Taylor”

I left to attend LSU and I got my Bachelors of Science in Agricultural Business where my love of animals expanded. I am knowledgeable about dogs, pets and animals and I love to learn more.

And last but not least I have had pups of my own, 2 great danes growing up and now my own shelter pup😊. She’s my best friend/daughter/favorite person, I take pride that I take care of every pup the same way I’d want someone taking care of mine. I’m currently working part time but I am available before 12 pm on Sunday's, after 1 pm Monday through Wednesday and completely free Thursday through Saturday. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each pet's routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. I provide a clean, safe environment and closely monitor behavior, appetite, and overall well-being. With my hands-on experience working with dogs, animal care education, and veterinary shadowing experience, I am prepared to provide attentive and responsible care for pets of all ages. I have an extremely pet friendly female dog that can keep your pup entertained if needed. If not no worries, she is kennel trained and does doggie daycare at my job.
About: I have a true love for all animals and take passion in providing the best care I can. I only want the very best for my pets and you can expect nothing less of me when it comes to caring for yours. From sun up to sun down, I’m taking care of pets whether it’s yours or mine! I have a very flexible schedule in hopes of accommodating all requests. I hope to make your pet as comfortable as possible, so they don’t even notice you’re gone. I look forward to getting to know about their favorite toy or where they like to nap.
About: I’ve raised my dog, Tino, since I’ve been 10! I’ve gone through all the stages from a pup to now a senior dog. I am also currently studying to become a DVM so I love all furry friends! :) I have 100+ volunteer hours at animal shelters and I currently work part time at a pet boarding facility. I’m free mostly every weekday and anytime on the weekends. I usually take pets out 3-4 times a day for potty breaks. I love every pup size and I’ll enjoy snuggling with them or running around with them! I have a fenced backyard with a super chill senior dog that would love to meet other animals. We have a very calm home so no loud noises or disruptions. I also have a crate for small to medium dogs if needed.
About: With a background in caring for dogs from a family breeder, I understand the unique needs of puppies and adult dogs alike. I’ve helped raise litters, manage feeding schedules, and ensure safe socialization in a home environment. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, grooming, or adhering to specific routines, I prioritize your pet’s health, happiness, and comfort. What I Offer: ✔️ Breeder-Level Care: Experience with puppies, including crate training, potty routines, and early socialization. ✔️ Tailored Attention: Comfortable following detailed care instructions (diet, exercise, medications). ✔️ Safe & Loving Environment: Your dog’s well-being is my top priority—no detail is overlooked! I’m passionate about treating every pet like family and providing updates so you’re always in the loop. Let’s chat about how I can support your furry friend! My availability for pet care is centered around my days off—Thursday through Saturday—where I provide dedicated, all-day support for walks, playtime, or overnight stays. While I typically work overnight shifts Sunday through Wednesday (7:30 PM–6:00 AM), I can also accommodate flexible Sunday bookings before my shift begins, such as morning walks or midday check-ins. This schedule allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs with undivided attention during my free days, ensuring they receive consistent care and companionship. Having worked with family breeders, I understand the importance of routine and am committed to tailoring visits to your pet’s unique schedule, whether it’s a quick potty break or a weekend-long adventure! As a devoted pet mom to two pitbulls, I understand the importance of routine, safety, and personalized attention. In my own home, I prioritize structured feeding times, daily exercise tailored to energy levels, and crate training (if needed), all while fostering a calm, loving environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I mirror this approach by respecting their space and routines—whether it’s sticking to specific diets, administering medications, or maintaining play and walk schedules. My experience with strong, energetic breeds like pitbulls has taught me to read body language carefully, ensure secure environments, and provide patient, positive reinforcement. I treat every home with the same care as my own, sending regular updates and photos so you feel connected while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and trust are my top priorities, no matter where we are!
About: I have 2 dogs. A Labmix and Siberian Husky. I have taken care of my dogs since they were puppies. We love to play and go for long walks, sit around, relax and do tricks for fun. The care I provide will depend on the dog’s needs. I am willing to work with any dogs. I’m calm around dogs. I knows what dogs think before they do. I know what they would want. Knowing when they don’t want to be bothered is a key factor in caring for dogs. You want to build trust so you’ll be able to form that unbreakable bond. I’m firm when my dogs want something that they know they should not have. I can be reliable when needed the most. I can travel to you when needed. Also I just genuinely love animals. I currently work in the morning and go to school twice a week. I’m able to do whatever it is needed for your fur babies. I will do everything that the clients request to provide the upmost service as possible and will provide additional love and care while providing requested services.
About: I would love to be a sitter and playmate for your dog or cat. Animals are therapy for me and is I'd love to earn a little money helping you out. I've had the three dogs in my life, Queen, Smoky and King. I worked at Petsmart for two years and helped open the first location in Louisiana.

I absolutely love dogs and animals and would love to make friends with your pet. I'm flexible and fun and would really like to be there for your family. My home is pet friendly and just waiting for fury guests. I am applying to graduate school so I am usually at home and I do some work from home so my availability is super flexible. I have a one bedroom apartment and I live alone so there is plenty of room for play and roaming for your animal. I love to walk and explore the city so basically if needed I know how to wear dogs out. I am very good at allowing dogs to be who they are and anticipate their needs and wants. .
About: I find pet sitting to be one of the most fulfilling ways to spend my free time. I have been pet sitting for the past seven years and absolutely love it! I am available Monday - Friday after 5:30 PM and will be fully available on weekends. My lunch breaks during the week are flexible so I can do mid day check ins if needed! Unfortunately, my apartment has a strict no animal policy so I can’t facilitate overnight boarding. I will gladly visit your home for walks or feeding check ins!
About: I've cared for dogs my entire life because I was raised around them. More specifically, I had the experience of caring for a German Shepherd puppy for a year. I'm more than confident in my ability to care for your pup! I'm a part-time worker with a very flexible schedule. I'm available during mornings and evenings but completely available during the weekend. However, I'm always willing to work around your schedule.

I take him on walks twice a day on the trail around my apartment complex. My Husky has been raised around all kinds of dogs and is very adaptable to strangers.

About: I have worked as a vet assistant at an animal hospital for 3.5 years with plans to apply to the LSU vet school.

She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure his comfort and happiness, even considering his special needs. Whether it’s making sure he’s comfortable with his limited mobility or handling the extra care he requires, Olivia does it all with such attentiveness and love. She's simply the best.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs through my previous work assisting a sitter on Rover. During that time, I helped with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure each dog felt safe and comfortable in their environment. I worked with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which taught me how to adjust my care to meet each animal's unique needs. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attention are when it comes to animals. Whether it's an energetic pup that needs extra playtime or a more relaxed dog that just wants companionship, I make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I'm also comfortable following specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special care requests. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being at all times. As a college student with a very flexible schedule, I'm able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. My availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays without feeling rushed. Because of this flexibility, I can adjust to your pet's routine and make sure they get consistent care, attention, and companionship whenever they need it. 1 understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always prioritize safety by staying attentive, following instructions carefully, and making sure pets are secure and comfortable in their environment. You can count on me to provide dependable, respectful care while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve.
“Lauren kept our Pom Meryl for overnight boarding. First time for her to be away from us; second time to stay with Lauren. Meryl walked in like she owned the place! Lauren’s home is nice and inviting with a big back yard. Meryl was the only dog there this time. Lauren and her dtr were very attentive and caring with Meryl. Lauren sent me pictures and updates on how well Meryl was adjusting being away this long, which relieved me as well. We booked 3 nights for Mardi Gras holiday and feel like our baby will be in good hands.”
