“Keith was amazing! We were at ease leaving our babies as he was extremely professional and had been in the industry for a while. He is also flexible and affordable! Can’t recommend him enough and we’ll definitely be back when we’re in town.”
“Ms. Carol was so nice and did a great job watching my dog overnight. She kept me updated sending me pics and assuring me she's doing well. Very good first experience using a dog sitter using the Rover app!”
“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.”
“Hannah was great and our pup had so much fun! She was very responsive and kept us updated on how he was doing. I loved that she sent us pictures and videos too. We will definitely be using her again!!”
“This was first time using Rover, and Lauren and Cody did a great job watching the dogs. The daily updates and pics were much appreciated. With the fireworks from the 4th going off, they made sure the dogs were taken care of. Would bring them back for another stay.”
“By far the best pet sitter I have ever had! Would recommend to any and everyone. Beetlejuice didn’t want to leave. Wonderful family and pups got along with him so well!”
“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”
“Literally amazing! So kind and amazing to my doggo! She sent me daily updates from pictures to videos which I just loved! This was my first time leaving my baby with someone & Im so thankful/blessed to have met her! I cannot wait to go on another trip & book her! ?❤️”
“Savannah and Kadyn took awesome care of our dog, Rosie. They sent us multiple pictures and videos to keep us updated on how Rosie was doing and you could just see how much love and attention she was getting during her stay with them. Not only that, but they were so incredibly accommodating to us when the snow storm hit and our travel plans were disrupted. They even offered to have our dog stay the night before when we thought we may have had to leave earlier than expected. For pickup, they accommodated us once again, so we could pick up our dog late and then they were available when our time changed. They communicated with us so well the whole time and we are happy to have found a great dog sitter in Lafayette! We will definitely be using them again!”
“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.”
“Love Marqita. She is so caring and my fur baby loves her. She treats your baby like her own and keeps you informed throughout their stay with her without asking. Highly recommended.”
“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.”
“We have been so happy with Tracy and her level of care for our toy poodle. Tracy and her kids treated our dog like she was family. I know our dog felt right at home while we were gone. I received multiple updates and pictures while we were away. We’ve booked with her twice now and will continue to use her for the future.”

“Kaylee was awesome and sweet! She checked in on our babies and kept us updated with photos and messages! She even got our shy boy to open up with her. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Savannah was amazing in taking care of my cat, Kitty! She sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos and can see that Kitty is well entertained and happy. She’s very detailed oriented and asks all the right questions to make sure Kitty’s needs are well taken care of. Savannah is a true cat whisperer, highly recommend!”
“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.”
“Jessica is hands down the best! We’ve been repeat customers over the last couple years & have a great experience every single time 🙌 Always so friendly & great to work with. Feels good knowing our fur baby is in good hands! 🐶♥️”
“Lyndsi was a wonderful pet and house sitter. She shared photos or a video of the pets each day while we were away along with text updates on how things were going. We were very comfortable that our pets were safe and sound while we were away for a few days. We highly recommend booking Lyndsi.”
“debra was such a miracle. i needed a last minute sitter for my kitty and she made herself available. great communication. definitely would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I've taken care of dogs my whole life, both puppies and senior dogs. I have also worked on ranches and helped take care of much larger animals. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs, especially when it come to distributing medicine and helping with any special exercising they might need. I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals! I'm also available for overnight stays and just popping in throughout the day. At my home I love letting my dogs out in the yard and playing with them while I work on homework or other things. I think exercise is really important for dogs and I really try to prioritize that even if its only a short run around the yard.
“Alicia was great! She took wonderful care of my two cats and sent me plenty of pictures. She also took the time to meet beforehand so that we both felt comfortable, which I really appreciated. Alicia was kind and professional and I highly recommend her!”
“We have a diabetic cat, so we were in search of someone that could inject her with insulin if needed (luckily she’s in remission so it has not been needed for a few days!!). Allison was the perfect person for the job! We accidentally brought our spare key out of town with us and she worked with us to print one for herself. She also downloaded the app on her phone to check Boots glucose levels so that we would know whether or not insulin was needed. We could not ask for a better sitter and will likely book her again in the future!”
About: My friends and family have trusted me with drop-ins visits for years. Every cat is special and I love them all like my own. I’ve never met a cat that I couldn’t pet. Even skittish ones can sense my heart; we call it my superpower. I am a freelance court reporter. I primarily work from home. I make my own schedule and can fit in daily drop-ins where they’re needed. I have two cats, Doug (15) and Noodle (7). Noodle loves long walks in his stroller. He is half Siamese and all talk! Doug is a cool cat that is very skittish. We are always considerate of his fear of loud noises and take pleasure in maintaining a peaceful home for him to feel safe in. Justice for skittish cats! Doug has arthritis and requires injections by me and liquid meds weekly/daily, respectively. Cat health is important to me. Both of my cats are very fluffy. We vacuum and ChomChom our furniture often. I’ve always got a lint roller on me. My cats are very spoiled, as they should be. I scoop the litter daily and schedule feed them morning and night. My experience with cat sitting is primarily drop-ins. I am open to discussing a more hands-on routine if that’s what your cat requires. I have keys to many colleagues homes. They text me when they go on trips and I happily scoot on over to care for the cats. I’ve been doing this for years and just decided to see if it was worth offering as a service in my neighborhood. As an owner who feeds twice a day, I am happy to go twice or just once a day if your cat is a grazer. My cats leave trails of litter all around the box area, so just tell me where your broom is and I’ll take care of cleaning your floor, too! I have a camera in my home and would understand you having one as well. If you want pictures of your cats while away, you don’t have to ask twice because I’ve probably already taken some. Cats are complex creatures, and as an owner who has a complicated one herself, I’m all ears to hear your cats likes/dislikes, quirky needs, and any other “silly requests”.

“JC was great! Very organized and communicative. We loved getting all the updates throughout the day and had no doubt that our pet was being well cared for. Will definitely book again if we come to Baton Rouge again!”
“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.”
About: I’ve been a dog dad for 6+ years and have taken care of pets for neighbors, teachers, and friends for years, from walking and feeding to live-in care. I’m a college instructor on break between semesters so my schedule is flexible with lots of availability for all your pet care needs, whether one time walking or in home stays. I have a friendly corgi named Rufus who loves other dogs and we live in a house near the Garden District with an unfenced yard where I walk him around the neighborhood twice daily.
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: Pets have been apart of my life since I was born. I love animals more than anything. They have different personalities that can make you feel at ease. With pets there will always be something to do. My love for dogs runs deeply. I can care for your fur-baby the same way you would. Please leave clear instructions with your fur-baby so I can ensure they utmost care. I treat pets the same we way we treat our children. They will get the best care in my home. I am flexible with your instructions.
“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!”

Friends and family have also relied on me to walk, feed and love their pets. I am currently working part time so I have a lot of extra time on my hands! All my services that I will provide will be done with care and love. According to what you dog wants and/ or needs I will move accordingly. Any guidelines and/or rules you give me, I will follow them with caution.
About: I’ve had and loved dogs for my entire life! I currently have 2 dogs (and a cat). My girl is a perfect playmate to all, and my guy is a senior who’s living his best life laying on the couch. I (and my fiancè) have taken in dogs/cats off the street, fostered, and rescued/adopted, so I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, breeds, and demeanors. I’m a teacher who will be off all summer, so I can be with your pet as much as needed! I’d love to provide some stand-in TLC to your pet while they eagerly await your return :) I have a large backyard, plenty of toys, and a lot of love to give to your pet! I’m a middle school teacher who’s currently off for spring break and will be off for the whole summer, so I’m freely available to meet you and your pet’s needs. I can accommodate early mornings, mid-day check-ins, late nights; whatever you need! I have a spacious house with a large fenced yard. I have two dogs, one of which will lay around 24/7, while the other is sweet, playful, energetic and always looking for friends to play with! If needed, I can kennel your pet or give them the spare room if they need a quiet place to relax alone. If caring for your pet in your house, you can be assured that I will be thorough in providing them with some TLC while you’re away! I love learning about the little quirks that pets can have and will be attentive and detailed in my care for them to make sure they always feel at ease.

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 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. 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.

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.

“Very nice and patient with my nervous puppy! Sent a cute picture while on their walk and told me about how it went. She also brought treats with her to reward him for pottying outside.”
“Kaylee was so amazing! She was reliable, kind and so great with coming to walk our pup twice a day while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. Will 100% be using Kaylee again in the future.”

About: I have been the go-to professional and friend for pet care and house-sitting for many. My goal is always to give your pet and home the same care and consideration I would my own. I have had pets since I can remember. My first pet was a jet black cat resembling the color of a raven. I learned and practiced numerous pet care tactics which allowed my cat to live a very fruitful life to 20 years old. I also had a delightful Bischon with a spunky personality that was always the life of the party. I am no stranger to large size or senior age pets, but am also well acquainted with service dogs. I have experience with pigs, fishes, snails, but my most favorite of all horses! I truly enjoy engaging with furry loved ones and giving them the tender care they obviously deserves! I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give your fur baby lots of attentive care, playtime, and mental stimulation by providing activity throughout the day. I have a fenced-in yard with ample space and love to go for strolls around the neighborhood and local parks. I love to play games and engage throughout the day.

“I left for 3 weeks and needed a reliable, loving, caring person to take care of my two sweetheart fur babies who are about a medium size. Allison was always in touch about what was going on and gave thorough reports on how her visits went, which really helped me enjoy my vacation so much more. Allison quickly developed an outstanding relationship with Eli & Bagels to the point where they were wagging their tales anticipating her arrival! Could not be more pleased and appreciative for Allison! Would absolutely recommend her for any pets who are treated like sweet babies as I treat mine!!”

“Caitlin is what happens if Dr. Doolittle has a baby with Artemis, goddess of the hunt and then Jane Goodall mentors that baby to be a kind, knowledgeable, badass animal caretaker.She handled my two monsters like a boss, playing with them a while before leash training my wild puppy while also letting my old man puppy take much needed walking breaks to roll around and sniff. She gave prompt updates and lots of pictures (which I LOVED) and I intend to use her for all my dog walking in the future.”

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.

“Debra was excellent with my senior dog Henry. She was always on time, she was able to find a way to get him to eat breakfast and she gave regular updates. Highly recommend.”
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for dogs and cats throughout my adult life, including beagles, miniature pinschers, German pinschers, and a variety of cats. Although I recently lost my beloved pets to old age and am not quite ready to adopt again, I deeply miss the companionship and joy animals bring. Pet sitting offers the perfect way for me to continue spending time with furry friends while helping others feel confident that their pets are in good hands. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and always punctual. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible. I am happy to visit a client's home to walk their pet and play with them at any time of the day. I am pleased to walk dogs and tend to their needs, such as medication or feeding. I’m also comfortable with cats as well. I do not currently offer in-home boarding.
“Callie helped us out when one of us was traveling. She walked our dog all week and was courteous, on time and kept us informed with pictures and updates. Our dog seemed to have a blast with her and was happy to go to bed after long walks. Would definitely use Callie’s services again. Thank you very much Callie.”
“Anna is absolutely amazing. My last dog sitter had to move on short notice and I was in a bind. Anna has been so great and I am incredibly grateful to have found her. She genuinely cares for my dog and always keeps me in the loop when I am trapped at work. Highly recommend!”
“Lori is the best! I love hearing from her while I’m at work about her walks and playtime with my dog. I only needed her for a few weeks but she was reliable and really connected with my dog during that time. No complaints here - would highly recommend!”

“Keith was amazing! We were at ease leaving our babies as he was extremely professional and had been in the industry for a while. He is also flexible and affordable! Can’t recommend him enough and we’ll definitely be back when we’re in town.”
“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.”
“This was first time using Rover, and Lauren and Cody did a great job watching the dogs. The daily updates and pics were much appreciated. With the fireworks from the 4th going off, they made sure the dogs were taken care of. Would bring them back for another stay.”
“Savannah and Kadyn took awesome care of our dog, Rosie. They sent us multiple pictures and videos to keep us updated on how Rosie was doing and you could just see how much love and attention she was getting during her stay with them. Not only that, but they were so incredibly accommodating to us when the snow storm hit and our travel plans were disrupted. They even offered to have our dog stay the night before when we thought we may have had to leave earlier than expected. For pickup, they accommodated us once again, so we could pick up our dog late and then they were available when our time changed. They communicated with us so well the whole time and we are happy to have found a great dog sitter in Lafayette! We will definitely be using them again!”
“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 have been so happy with Tracy and her level of care for our toy poodle. Tracy and her kids treated our dog like she was family. I know our dog felt right at home while we were gone. I received multiple updates and pictures while we were away. We’ve booked with her twice now and will continue to use her for the future.”
“This was my first time leaving Toto at home with anyone outside of family, and Lauren immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease knowing he was in good hands. She took great care of him, and Toto took to her right away, even laying on her and relaxing. It was clear he felt safe and happy. He spent the evening playing, cuddling, and getting plenty of rubs. I’m so grateful for the care she showed him and would absolutely trust her with Toto again.”
“Josie loved her stay with Mark C! She was happy as a clam when I picked her up! I will definitely take her back here! It is a great, pet friendly house, and Mark and his wife were extremely accommodating!”
“Bradley graciously accepted a short notice booking for our dog Ghost. He was very communicative and responsive leading up to and throughout the boarding stay. Bradley’s dog Beaux is very sweet, gentle & got along well with Ghost. We 100% recommend Bradley for boarding.”
“I felt so secure leaving Oso with JC! She communicated perfectly, always responded in a timely manner, sent photos and updates on how he was getting along with others. I will 100% be bringing Oso back to her whenever I travel. Usually Oso can’t get away quick enough from people that watch him, but he hung around and wanted her to pet him when she came to drop him off. She has such good energy, very knowledgeable about all dogs, and I could tell Oso felt like he went on vacation with her!”
“Chelsy was GREAT! We made it super late but she still accommodated us and made sure he had everything he needed while she was there. She communicated so good and I felt comfortable with my big boy being in her care!! We will DEFINITELY use her again if we are in the area! 🫶🏽🫶🏽”
“My golden doodle and poodle seemed to have had a good time. Kash, golden doodles had lots of room to run around and have fun. I was updated daily and if I asked her a question about my animals I received immediate feedback. Thanks so much for your service!”
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.
“Jena was the quickest to respond to any of my booking requests for service. She was professional and responded with me on changes to the service and requests I made afterwards. My dog seemed comfortable with the surroundings even though this was the first time I had bordered her with anyone. I’ll use her again if needed.”
“This was our dog’s 2nd stay with Amanda. As soon as I dropped her off at Amanda’s house, I could tell Marley remembered being there and was excited to be back! Amanda sends frequent updates and pictures, which really helped us not to worry about our baby while we were away. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”
