“ELENA was excellent with my Chewy! She was so attentive to him. I loved that she sent pictures almost every day. She has such a beautiful spirit. I won't go anywhere else to leave him. He now has a second home away from home. Rover please keep her as long as she's willing to sit with our fur babies. I will definitely recommend to anyone who may be looking for a fur baby sitter. GTurner”
“Winston loves to visit with Ben when we are out of town. I really enjoy the pictures Ben sends of my pup having a blast with his new friends. Ben is our number one choice on Rover!”
“Thank you so much for being so good with Kevin! It's wonderful to leave town and not have to worry about our doggie! Jessica definitely goes above and beyond and Kevin can't wait to come back.”
“Elizabeth is an amazing sitter! She had great communication and was very flexible. I got photos and updates during my dog’s stay with her and I could tell she was having fun and feeling right at home. Elizabeth even offers drop off and pick up, which was a life saver during the busy work days I had ahead of traveling. I highly recommend Elizabeth for your fur baby’s care. Thank you!!”
“Cheryn was wonderful! So kind, attentive, and caring. She sent lots of pics of my pup and regular updates. My pup loved staying with her, and I felt comforted knowing she was in good hands and having fun!”
“Stacey was excellent with my dog Seamus. She responded to all of my texts in a timely manner, and took wonderful care of him while I was away. Additionally, she took the most adorable photos of him! She goes above and beyond, and I will definitely use her again.”
“Michael was very accommodating to my schedule. I had him watch my pup while I was visiting a friend in New Orleans. My friend couldn't have a dog at his apartment but I wanted my pup to come on the trip bc I wanted to have her join me in the Quarter while I walked around. Michael met me several times to let me get my pup and drop her back off with him a few hours later. She seemed so comfortable with him and he was very friendly. The only improvement I could say would be that an occasional picture of your pup would help put nervous fur parents at ease. I would absolutely recommend Michael to watch your pup!”
“Dalia was wonderful!! She sent me pictures everyday and messaged me without me having to ask about my dog! Such a sweet lady!! I will definitely continue to book her!”
“Mike was wonderful and kind with our girl. He sent lots of videos and we could tell our dog was having a great time. I would rebook with him again for sure.”
“I highly recommend Cheyenne as a pet sitter! Satchmo just stayed with her for two nights, and she was absolutely amazing with him. He was dealing with some nerves, but she was incredibly patient, worked right through his issues, and helped him completely relax. She also sent great photos throughout his stay to keep me updated, which I really appreciated. I couldn't be happier with the care she provided!”
“We had a fantastic experience boarding our dog Cleo with Katie!!! She was very communicative and sent us lots of updates and photos throughout the week. We knew Cleo was being loved and taken care of the entire time we were away. 10/10 experience!”
“Ashley was fantastic with my dog, Neon. She made sure he was well integrated with the other dogs and gave him plenty of individual attention, including lots of games of fetch—one of his favorite things. She also kept a close eye on him to make sure he didn’t get overheated during the New Orleans summer heat. I loved that she had a kiddie pool in the backyard so the dogs could cool off while playing. Ashley was easy to coordinate with, communicative, and made the whole experience stress-free. It was clear Neon had a wonderful vacation while I was on mine. I’d absolutely book with Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”
“Jon took amazing care for Panfila. She came back home with a wagging tail and was very happy to stay with him. Jon is very attentive and really caters to each dog individually. Look forward to leaving her with him in the future.”
“Blair took such a good care of my Leo Coco. She sent me updates with photos without even asking. She responded to me every time I texted as soon as I texted, even at 12am at night. I forgot to bring Leo Cocos bed, so she gave them nice cozy blanket to sleep in. She also kept them for on extra day with last minute adjustment request. Overall we are very pleased with her service. Thanks Blair for going above and beyond to take care of my babies.”
“Karen was awesome! Freddie had a Vacation during our vacation! She was easy to book, ready and prepared for our arrival and had everything ready to go for pickup. I was completely comfortable leaving Freddie with Karen and will absolutely book with her in the future!”
“Etta was the perfect dog sitter! You can tell that she has a passion for animals, and the care that she gave my dog Kiwi was above and beyond! From clear communication and picture updates to arts and crafts, I couldn’t be happier with Kiwis stay at Etta’s.”
“Our baby boy ringo had a great time with Lynn! She sent lots of photos of ringo having a good time! She was very accommodating and really took care of our dog like it was her own.”

“One of the things I really appreciate about Deana is her communication. She is super consistent and helpful in her communication with me. It’s so great that my cat has really taken to her.”
“Jamie is very responsive and an excellent communicator, it's very obvious she cares and loves animals, she will be my go to from now on! 10/10 recommend you choose her for your fur baby care!”
“Sarah was a great sitter, really communicative and attentive to my two kitties. She sent detailed updates and pictures with each visit so I knew my guys were well taken care of. Excellent service, would use again!”
“Caitlin was fabulous. Rosie got sick right before i left and she was really patient and understanding when i went back and forth about whether I should leave town. She took great care of Rosie during the drop ins and did all the crazy cat-mom things I requested. I was very lucky to have Caitlin sit and would have her back again in a heartbeat!”
“Frank was happy to see me but didn’t demand to know where I’d been so I know he got his quota of food, love and rubs. Would not hesitate to leave him with Sarah B again”
“Alaina was amazing. She was consistent and reliable. It’s obvious that she really cares about animals and I felt so much better leaving our cats knowing she would be taking care of them. We will definitely book her again for our next trip!”
“Ebony is so rare. They update and take care of your dog and cat like they were their own. I’m so grateful to have someone get to know my dog’s personality and be patient with them while I was away. It makes travel and being away more enjoyable knowing they are in good hands. Appreciate it more than you know. Mary Louise”
About: I grew up with a stray cat who was mostly an outdoor cat. In my early adulthood, I started taking care of friend's cats and enjoyed learning all their different personalities. I now have 3 cats of my own. I look forward to taking care of yours!
“Natasha was amazing with my two cats! I was nervous to leave them alone for ten days but she gave them so much love and sent me so many pictures it really eased my nerves. I cannot recommend Natasha enough!”
“Highly recommend to anyone! My cat is large, has multiple personalities, and needs medicine twice a day. Cristina is the first person who I was confident would show him the same care and understanding as I do while I was away. Her communication is top tier, and she put my worries over leaving at ease. Plus I got lots of pictures and updates! I will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 6 years old. I currently have 3 dogs, a cat, and a chinchilla in my family that I care for. I absolutely adore all animals. I work for a nature institute and have a lot of experience meeting the needs of and caring for a variety of animals. I can care for dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles, and birds. I work full time, Monday through Friday. I am available for drop in visits and day care after 5:30 on weekdays. I am available most weekends at any time. I have 2 housemates that love dogs and cats. Your pet will be given a lot of love and attention from us. We have a small backyard but a good walk around the neighborhood will always be given!
“Michelle was so amazing with my two cats! One has a bit of an attitude problem and isn’t much of a people person, but he even warmed up to her. The photos and communication are great, i will definitely be using her services again!”
“Lindsay is the best! I trusted her with my cats and will definitely be recommending her to anyone who needs someone to watch their pets on Rover. She went above and beyond, also such a lovely person! Nothing but great things to say 😊”
“Thank you for checking in on Moss. He was well fed and cared for while I was traveling. He was happy to have me home, but wasn’t acting like he had been neglected while I was gone. You are the best Elizabeth!”

“Michael took care of our King Charles Cavalier, Sadie, for a day during our stay in NOLA. We were amazed at how well Sadie bonded with Michael, who obviously adores dogs and immediately put Sadie at ease. Michael also bathed Sadie at our request, which was extra special. We would ABSOLUTELY recommend Michael and are happy to know that if ever we need a puppy sitters in NOLA, Michael is the perfect person.”
“Emily took great care of our girls! She sent lots of photos, was easy to communicate with, and gave them plenty of love. I would recommend her to anyone looking for boarding or daycare- her spot is so lovely for the dogs!”
“Always great to bring Hazel to Jessica. I never doubt or worry if Hazel is having a good time. And for spa day I never doubt that Hazel will come back clean and smelling great! Best Dog sitter my dog ever experienced!”
“Brittany did great with our 3 month old puppy! She was very patient with her and even taught her a new trick. Her dog, Jerry, was great with our puppy and we were glad she had another dog friend. We would absolutely use Brittany again in the future!”
“Ashley was a true professional and made sure my dog had a well balanced day of rest, play and walking ! I am definitely planning to request more dog sitting from her!”
About: Growing up, my nuclear family cared for roughly thirty cats, both indoor and outdoor. Naturally, part of my daily routine was feeding them all before getting on the school bus, keeping the litter boxes and surrounding areas tidy throughout the day, and of course providing AMPLE love to all. I have experience nursing abandoned kittens to health and maturity, as well as acclimating feral cats into the home. I am more than keen when it comes to feline behavior! (My mother used to "joke" that her four children should come together and open a vet clinic.) Today, my husband and I have a well-trained, 3 year old shepherd mix named Poet, whom we adopted at just 8 weeks old, and a 5 year old American bobtail kitty named Millie, who we also rescued. We both work from home and our animals are our absolute lives. Normal days for us include walks around the neighborhood, as well as trips to City Bark. We have a fenced in backyard for potty time, as well as sun bathing. Both as our animal have free reign of our home; they watch TV with us, answer email with us, snooze with us, cook with us, etc.! You can trust that your fur baby would be met with the same love, adoration, and care that we provide to our own. Both my husband and myself work from home and are able to provide near-constant care for your fur babies, whether that pertain to potty breaks or play time! We have a modest fenced in yard, as well as one dog and one cat of our own. Both are friendly with all species! We have ample space (spare bedrooms) to set up up a crate/kennel if desired.
“Evlin took excellent care of our Peach during four days of Jazz Fest. Also excellent communication and she was flexible about drop off time at the end of the day when we were returning from the festival. We highly recommend her.”
“I felt so comfortable leaving Pip with Cheyenne in her home. I could see he immediately took to her and it was a great fit. She walked and played with him and also provided a calm environment for him while I was away. I am so happy to be able to rely on Cheyenne when I need help with Pip!”
“She was great! My dog needed a sitter for the day and she had no problems at all Cheyanne sent update pictures, had friends to play with, and was super happy way dropping off and picking up! Will definitely be returning!”
“This is my dog’s 3rd visit with Etta. She is the best. She goes above and beyond. I broke one of the handles off my dog’s bag and she sewed it on without me even asking or knowing she could sew. She even reinforced the other strap so that wouldn’t break off. Thank you!!!”
“Oshie was very responsive and willing to accept our reservation at the last minute. She was very flexible with our schedule as we came to town for a last minute vacation. Jaxx enjoyed his stay with her, and he felt very comfortable and at ease with her!”
“To say we were satisfied with the care Alyssa gave our little Max would be an understatement. We were camping in New Orleans and had events happening that would take us away from our motorhome for over 9 hours for a few days and did not think it wise to leave our small dog alone for so long so we needed to think of something. So for the first time we turned to the ROVER app. As this would be the first time we left our boy with a stranger we were very concerned but We had a meet and greet ahead of the actual dog sitting and it went so well …. we felt at ease right away with Alyssa and her own dog. Our Max and Alyssa’s Oliver hit it off right away … she is a wonderful person full of love, caring and is extremely pleasant. The second day we went to drop Max off he actually pulled me to her door and sat there waiting for her to open the door and when she did open the door he ran in as if he was home already. This experience was so wonderful. We are certain a big part of that has to do with how nice a person Alyssa is. Sending pictures throughout the days was an added bonus for us! We would highly recommend her to anyone who needs dog sitting services!”
“It can be hard to find sitters willing to help with challenging dogs, and I have a very sweet pup who, unfortunately, has some separation anxiety that means she can’t be left home alone at this point. Julia agreed to watch her for some daycare while my husband and I attended a family birthday party, and she also was great about setting up a Meet and Greet about a week beforehand so that Sable could be introduced to Julia and her own pups. Julia sent pictures and updates while we were away, and I appreciated her honesty when I asked how Sable did. It seems as though Sable was only mildly embarrassing and didn’t put Julia through too much hassle, so I’m very grateful to have someone trustworthy and kind to leave my pup with! Thank you so much!”
About: I LOVE all animals like they’re my babies💜. I have a safe fenced small back yard. It’s a passion of mine to be around your pets. As the the oldest of 5 much younger siblings and a former professional nanny, I am a natural caregiver! Now, I am an independent hairstylist that works for myself, and as an animal lover, I have naturally become many of my clients trusted go-to pet sitter, especially for in house vacation pet sitting. I am highly trained as a former animal foster (including the bottle babies that require so much attention and responsibility) and as a professional care giver. I also grew up with non-traditional critters including, but not limited to, hedgehogs, salamanders, iguanas, guinea pigs, gerbils, etc. so I’m cool with whatever you throw at me and very responsible! I follow YOUR rules and keep your babies safe and loved. I work for myself part time as a hairstylist. I make my own hours so it is very easy to not schedule on the days I am needed or to schedule large breaks in between. As a former nanny and elder millennial (lol) I am very responsible first! I always double check leashes, harnesses, doors, etc so you can leave your home feeling great with your guys in my hands. At my clients home, I very much like to follow their rules and instructions to the detail. I keep a photo and/or list of all instructions on my phone and a physical copy in my car. At my own home, I like to listen to what my clients feel comfortable with and follow that as discussed with them. I do like their pets to feel like I’m their loving grandma- they always get extra love and long walks when I come to see them!
About: I provide attentive, individualized care designed to keep your dog's routine as consistent and comfortable as possible while you're away. Because I work from home and intentionally keep my boarding capacity small, I'm able to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, exercise, and individual attention throughout the day. To help you feel connected while you're away, I provide regular photo and video updates throughout your dog's stay. Every boarding also concludes with a personalized summary of their meals, walks, potty habits, behavior, and overall experience, so you know exactly how their stay went. I share my home with Tully, my friendly, well-socialized Golden Retriever. Because this is his home too, I prioritize good matches and a calm, comfortable environment for both resident and visiting dogs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a university instructor with a flexible schedule, I have the flexibility to provide frequent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I care for every dog as an individual, following their normal routine as closely as possible while providing regular photo updates and a personalized boarding summary at the end of each stay. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I care for every dog as an individual by following their normal feeding, potty, exercise, and sleep routines as closely as possible. I require proof of current rabies vaccination before boarding to help maintain a safe environment for every pet in my home. I provide regular photo and video updates throughout each stay so you can have peace of mind while you’re away, and every boarding concludes with a personalized summary of your dog’s stay. My goal is to create a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have a 7-year-old cat of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone who is caring for your pet. To me, pets are family members, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I have experience with many different types of dogs and feel comfortable around dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or calm and a little shy, I’m patient and attentive to their individual needs. I also have a lot of love and understanding for cats and know how to respect their space and unique personalities. I’m currently working part-time and studying, which gives me flexibility during the week and weekends. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks depending on the day. I’m very responsible with schedules and always make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, so I’m happy to adjust my routine when possible to make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medication, and house rules. I’m very patient and attentive to each animal’s personality and needs. I make sure pets feel safe, calm, and loved whether I’m caring for them in your home or spending time with them outside for walks. I also keep owners updated with messages or photos so you know your pet is doing well.

“Deana was great at communication, recording the walks, and keeping my pup so happy! Will use again. If your dog/pet is your best friend/baby, you can trust that Deana will take amazing care of them!”
“Evlin helped me last minute and was very flexible, accommodating, and took great care of my pup. She went out of her way to take good care of her. Usually my pup takes a while to warm up to strangers, but she bonded with her right away! Don't hesitate to book with her!”
“Lindsay is incredible. Our pup loved her as do I. I trust her as does my pup. She was mindful of a meniscus issue that my girl has by allowing her to dictate a much shorter walk, and instead Lindsay stayed with her for the remainder of the scheduled time to love and play with her inside. She thoughtfully filled her water bowl before leaving, and sent me a the most wonderful pictures of their time together. I will be scheduling a weekly standing with her.”
“Aura was willing to help me out on very short notice. She came to the house and met Two Bit and came back later to walk him. My job is very demanding and it gave me great comfort I Leung he would get his exercise and be cared for. He was in very capable hands with Aura.”
“Michelle is wonderful with my new rescue pup, Harriet. Michelle is on time, treats Harriet like her own fur baby, and is a great communicator. It’s so nice to have peace of mind knowing Harriet is in loving and responsible hands. Thanks, Michelle!”
About: I’ve been a pet person since birth. My mom was a pet nurturer at home and for work. We had everything from horses, dogs, cats, ferrets & parrots. In my adult years I’ve had three huskies of my own and four cats. Having huskies is a real treat although sometimes a hard one! I’m comfortable with long walks and big dogs. Willing to help with any kind of furry or feathery pet ya got! I’m currently figuring out my next steps in life, taking my time and being thoughtful ! So currently I have nothing but time and energy to give. I live in Bay View and have a fenced in yard. I also have a spare bedroom for any pets that would need some alone time. I have no dogs currently but two cats, one who would want to be friends with any cat, dog or person I bring into the home and the other likes her alone time.
About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs pets. My dog is deaf and I have learned to communicate with her. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own.

“I highly recommend Ginny.Ginny is awesome!!!!! Petunia my stubborn little Shih Tzu hates everybody, but when Ginny comes in to walk her, she goes up to her immediately and rubs on Ginny like a cat❤️🐶 Ginny is very nice, consistent and on time very reliable and most importantly Petunia loves her! When she comes back from the walk, Petunia is calm ,relaxed and tired👍 Thank you so much Ginny I don’t know what I would do without you!!!❤️🐶 Michelle”
“Bianca was great! She was so sweet and good with Louie. She showed up on time and communicated with me about how Louie’s walk went and sent the best pictures”

About: I have years of professional experience in the animal industry, including managing dog daycare and boarding facilities, as well as managing a veterinary molecular diagnostics company specializing in PCR testing for animals of every kind, literally A to Z, from anteaters to zebras! My background combines hands on pet care with animal health knowledge, allowing me to provide attentive, safety focused care for pets of all ages, breeds, personalities, and medical needs. I am also PACCC Certified, a Certified Professional Animal Care Provider, as well as Pet CPR and First Aid Certified. My home is designed to be a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment where dogs are treated like family. Guests are welcome throughout the home and can enjoy cozy dog beds, the couch, enrichment toys, tunnels, brush outs, a kiddie pool, a fully fenced yard, and plenty of photo updates during their stay. Dogs are welcome to sleep in bed with me if that’s what they’re used to, or they can be kenneled if that’s their normal routine. Because I have two friendly resident dogs, all boarding and daycare guests must be comfortable around dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and genders. Playgroups are carefully matched based on temperament, play style, size, and energy level. My home is generally best suited for low to medium energy dogs, and I especially love caring for senior pets and laid back personalities. High energy dogs are welcomed on a case by case basis. Safety is always my top priority, so I do have a few requirements before accepting bookings. • Dogs should be potty trained. I completely understand that occasional accidents happen, especially during transitions or with puppies learning routines. However, frequent accidents or ongoing indoor marking may not be the best fit for my home. • Puppies are welcome, but I ask that owners are completely transparent about their current potty training progress and care needs. • Please disclose any bite history, behavioral concerns, previous daycare dismissals, reactivity, resource guarding, destructive habits, separation anxiety, escaping crates, counter surfing, digging, chewing, or other behaviors that may affect their stay. • Dogs displaying normal stress behaviors such as growling, air snaps, baring teeth, or setting boundaries while uncomfortable are not automatically disqualified. However, true aggression toward people or other animals is not accepted. I maintain a zero tolerance policy for aggression within my home. Transparency allows me to safely manage personalities, prevent conflicts, and create the best experience for everyone. Please also let me know whether your dog is kennel trained, whether they need to be crated when left alone, and if they relax well in a kennel or become stressed while confined. Depending on each dog’s behavior and routine, many guests are able to enjoy supervised free roam privileges. Since Rover does not cover damage inside a sitter’s personal home, owners are responsible for any damages caused during a stay. Repair or replacement costs may apply, with a minimum charge of $100 if damage occurs. While my home environment is intentionally structured and carefully managed, I am also comfortable taking on more complex behavioral or medical cases within a client’s home. My care style focuses on structure, enrichment, positive guidance, manners, redirection, safety, and making every dog feel comfortable, confident, and at home. Every routine is individualized because no two dogs are exactly alike. If you’re new to Rover, feel free to use my referral link for $20 off your first booking. NOTE: Rover keeps 20% of sitter earnings while adding approximately 11% in fees to the client. The more I know about your dog’s routine, personality, quirks, anxieties, favorite activities, and individual needs, the better I can tailor their stay. I would always rather know too much than not enough. Thank you so much for taking the time to read through everything and for considering me with your pet’s care. I truly believe great communication creates the safest and most enjoyable experience for everyone, especially your pet. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I never take that responsibility lightly. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or administering any special care they need, I prioritize their well-being. I also plan my schedule to allow flexibility for pet sitting, ensuring I can accommodate different needs, whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly fur baby to keep your pup company! There are plenty of enrichment toys to keep them busy, along with natural, tasty treats for some extra tail wags. It’s definitely a dog’s world in this household!
About: *Pros with booking my service*: ~I am a full time pet sitter! ~Experience! (Ive been doing this for 6 years) ~Professionalism (I was a lawyer before leaving law to focus on part-time travel and full time pet sitting 😉) ~Trust (The majority of my clients are repeat clients) Hospitality and care go hand in hand with my pet-sitting service. For a house sit, expect your home to nicer than when you left it. Your fur babies will be relaxed and happy to see you when you return having been lovingly cared for in your absence. I will strive to uphold whichever boundaries you h have set up for your pup and work to reinforce training. Have your pup stay with a familiar face while you're away! In addition to personal experience with animals over the years, I have professional experience volunteering at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. One of the largest animal rehabilitation clinics in the world. I hope I can be someone you wholeheartedly trust with the care of your beloved furry one.

I understand the needs of animals and their lil personalities intuitively and I like to check in to make sure they are safe and happy.
“Darin is a great friend to animals and goes at their speed which is important for one of our girls who is unsure of everything. He is also communicative and reliable. Would absolutely recommend!”
About: Hi there!! My name is Asia. I have been dog sitting professionally for 6 years now. But personally i haven’t had a time in my life without at least one fur baby. Just like people, every dog is different. I always take time to get to know the dog and care for their specific needs, likes, and dislikes. I know trusting someone with your dog is a big deal. They are family! It’s important that you feel safe and comfortable with who you choose. I do not take that lightly. That being said, I would love to be the person you count on. Hope to talk soon! Right now I am working part time and mostly remote. So that gives me lots of time within my schedule to help watch your dogs/cats. I always meet with my clients before hand to discuss what their dogs daily schedule usually looks like. As well as how their specific dog likes being cared for. I’ve always found it very important to not change things too much from what they’re used to.

“Thank you so much for being so good with Kevin! It's wonderful to leave town and not have to worry about our doggie! Jessica definitely goes above and beyond and Kevin can't wait to come back.”
“Elizabeth is an amazing sitter! She had great communication and was very flexible. I got photos and updates during my dog’s stay with her and I could tell she was having fun and feeling right at home. Elizabeth even offers drop off and pick up, which was a life saver during the busy work days I had ahead of traveling. I highly recommend Elizabeth for your fur baby’s care. Thank you!!”
“Dalia was wonderful!! She sent me pictures everyday and messaged me without me having to ask about my dog! Such a sweet lady!! I will definitely continue to book her!”
“I highly recommend Cheyenne as a pet sitter! Satchmo just stayed with her for two nights, and she was absolutely amazing with him. He was dealing with some nerves, but she was incredibly patient, worked right through his issues, and helped him completely relax. She also sent great photos throughout his stay to keep me updated, which I really appreciated. I couldn't be happier with the care she provided!”
“We had a fantastic experience boarding our dog Cleo with Katie!!! She was very communicative and sent us lots of updates and photos throughout the week. We knew Cleo was being loved and taken care of the entire time we were away. 10/10 experience!”
“Ashley was fantastic with my dog, Neon. She made sure he was well integrated with the other dogs and gave him plenty of individual attention, including lots of games of fetch—one of his favorite things. She also kept a close eye on him to make sure he didn’t get overheated during the New Orleans summer heat. I loved that she had a kiddie pool in the backyard so the dogs could cool off while playing. Ashley was easy to coordinate with, communicative, and made the whole experience stress-free. It was clear Neon had a wonderful vacation while I was on mine. I’d absolutely book with Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”
“Jon took amazing care for Panfila. She came back home with a wagging tail and was very happy to stay with him. Jon is very attentive and really caters to each dog individually. Look forward to leaving her with him in the future.”
“Karen was awesome! Freddie had a Vacation during our vacation! She was easy to book, ready and prepared for our arrival and had everything ready to go for pickup. I was completely comfortable leaving Freddie with Karen and will absolutely book with her in the future!”
“Etta was the perfect dog sitter! You can tell that she has a passion for animals, and the care that she gave my dog Kiwi was above and beyond! From clear communication and picture updates to arts and crafts, I couldn’t be happier with Kiwis stay at Etta’s.”
“We have been using rover for years now and we must say, Thank You so much for taking care of our Baby. You are the best. He has come back home, trimmed, bathed fed and loved. From the photos that were sent to when he came back home, We can tell he was having a great retreat. Bobbi is awesome ? and will definitely use her services again in the near future. Thanks again for being so great with my difficult baby..”
“Anna has watched my dogs a few times now. She is always very quick to respond and a great communicator when it comes to organizing drop offs and pick ups. If the dogs could talk, they would confirm they have a good time when staying with Anna!”
About: Growing up, my nuclear family cared for roughly thirty cats, both indoor and outdoor. Naturally, part of my daily routine was feeding them all before getting on the school bus, keeping the litter boxes and surrounding areas tidy throughout the day, and of course providing AMPLE love to all. I have experience nursing abandoned kittens to health and maturity, as well as acclimating feral cats into the home. I am more than keen when it comes to feline behavior! (My mother used to "joke" that her four children should come together and open a vet clinic.) Today, my husband and I have a well-trained, 3 year old shepherd mix named Poet, whom we adopted at just 8 weeks old, and a 5 year old American bobtail kitty named Millie, who we also rescued. We both work from home and our animals are our absolute lives. Normal days for us include walks around the neighborhood, as well as trips to City Bark. We have a fenced in backyard for potty time, as well as sun bathing. Both as our animal have free reign of our home; they watch TV with us, answer email with us, snooze with us, cook with us, etc.! You can trust that your fur baby would be met with the same love, adoration, and care that we provide to our own. Both my husband and myself work from home and are able to provide near-constant care for your fur babies, whether that pertain to potty breaks or play time! We have a modest fenced in yard, as well as one dog and one cat of our own. Both are friendly with all species! We have ample space (spare bedrooms) to set up up a crate/kennel if desired.
“Julia is a fantastic dog sitter. We felt SO comfortable leaving our dog with her. She has two dogs of her own so she very clearly “gets it” and she went above and beyond to make us feel like Duke was in good hands.”
“Sawsan took great care of our pup for about a week while we were away. She provided plenty of great photos and updates which kept us at peace while away from our dog. We highly recommend her and will for sure be using her again! She has a huge backpack that is secure for all the pups to play in!”
“Desirae is awesome! She took such great care of my fur babies and I had no fears about being away from them. I am so grateful to have had her to ease my mind while I was out of town. Thank you!”
“This was our first time leaving Hazel with someone. We were nervous, but Roxanne & Reese made us feel at ease immediately. We were very pleased with how welcoming they were to her and even more happy to hear that she was a very good girl while we were gone.”
