“Rachel and Michael were wonderful! They took care of Missy over the holidays and clearly gave her a lot of love! They send sweet pictures and or videos daily. They were extremely responsive and reliable. They set up Missy for success by scheduling a meet and greet for our pups before the boarding period. They were also super flexible. My flight back to the city was canceled and I last minute needed an extra day of care for Missy and they accommodated this last minute change which was very kind. Overall, I felt relaxed and reassured in my travels knowing Missy was being cared for by Rachel and Michael!”
“My girls were happy and immediately comfortable with Elena! She sent photos and updates, and when I ran into unexpected car trouble she was able to drop them off to me last minute. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Iryna was incredibly sweet and nurturing to our cats, Ziggy & Roux! Her communication with me throughout their stay with her was impeccable. We hope to work with Iryna again!”
“Blair was fantastic. She was extremely responsive and very easy to schedule pick up/drop off. She has a pup of her own that got along great with my dog. I will definitely be booking her again.”
“Desirae was amazing with my pups! She sent lots of photos and clearly she and her daughter gave them lots of love and attention. She even went out of her way to bathe them so they came home nice and clean! She used to be a vet tech and even teaches out to me with an issue she identified in one of our girls and was able to cure her. Thanks so much Desirae!! We will definitely use her again!”
“I take my two male cats to Etta’s anytime I go out of town. She is loving and patient with them, and she keeps you updated with pictures! I will definitely keep going with Etta!”
“My dog had such a great experience with Margaret. Margaret sent videos and photos from daily walks with my baby. Belle was in great hands. I trust Margaret and will be using her services again for as long as she is available. Thank you Margaret.”
“Michael is an angel!! So sweet and just a wonderful sitter!! Kept me updated and sent pictures. Will definitely book again!! My dogs were happy and calm at pick up.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from high-energy dogs to more sensitive or anxious ones. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s emotional needs and body language, and I prioritize making them feel safe, calm, and understood in their environment. I have hands-on experience with crate training, building positive associations, and helping dogs develop confidence when left alone. I’m patient, consistent, and gentle in my approach, and I tailor care to each dog rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to create a calm, secure experience for them while you’re away. I occasionally bring my well-socialized dog with me for longer stays, but only with prior approval and proper introductions. I’m a full-time dog sitter and spend most of the time at my house, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced in yard for the digs to have zoomies in! There’s a splash-pad and cooling stations so no one overheats. I structure my days around walks, play, and downtime, and I’m mindful of keeping routines consistent so pets feel secure. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care on both weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize being present and your dogs will rarely, if at all, be left alone. I provide a calm, structured, and attentive environment where your pet’s safety and comfort are the top priority. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual needs, and I adjust my approach to help each dog feel secure and understood. I’m experienced with crate use, positive reinforcement, and helping dogs settle in new environments. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and take care to avoid overwhelming situations, especially for more sensitive or anxious dogs. In your home or mine, I maintain a clean, predictable space and ensure pets are supervised, exercised appropriately, and never left in situations where they could feel unsafe or stressed.
“I can’t recommend Mike enough. He was very communicative and sent so many wonderful pictures and videos. I knew my dog was well taken care of the entire time!”
“Cheryn was great with Missy. Missy had some separation anxiety as well as a little bit of fear of another dog but Cheryn handled it all incredibly well and we knew Missy was in good hands as always!”
“I am so grateful for the care you gave my little girl. Thank you so much for keeping me informed, sending me photos and videos, and being patient with me through your messages and understanding. I know from your videos that she was comfortable with you.”
“There’s not enough thank you notes I can give Sarah. As we are traveling across states for the holidays, she accommodated us and took care of my baby. We had many issues in our traveling and she still accommodated. I also loved that Sarah took Pluto out several times throughout the day and he obviously felt right at home. I’d recommend her to everyone! She was amazing!”
“Mary was amazing!! She was so easy to contact and she sent pictures and updates about my dog Max that stayed with her. He seemed to have a great time and he got along with her dog as well. Will definitely contact her again! 😊”
“This was my first time ever leaving my dog with a sitter and it couldn't have been a better experience. Serena and AJ were very communicative and responsible. Received daily updates and pictures of Remi which really put my mind at ease. Highly recommend!”
“Awesome. We love sending our dog to stay with Erin and Robin, because we know that she is safe and happy the whole time. They have an amazing property that any dog would enjoy--a big lawn, woods, even a stream to play in. These ladies are our FIRST choice, every single time we need doggy care.”
“Cindy took very good care of my cat, Leona! My kitty has a hard time adjusting to new places, but Cindy was very, very patient and loving towards her. She also went above and beyond to make sure everything was ready for Leona's arrival and pick-up. I highly recommend Cindy to other pet parents!”

“Caitlin went above and beyond during her drop in visits with my cat. She even stayed longer on some of the days! My cat really loved her and I could tell from the (lots of) pictures that Caitlin sent, was excited to see her each day. I would not hesitate to reach out to her again if I need a cat sitter.”
“Elizabeth stayed at our house to pet sit for our senior kitty. Elizabeth gave picture updates and was communicative the entire time while we were away. When we arrived, our kitty had clearly gotten tons of care and attention! The house was also kept clean and tidy just like when we left. Will definitely be using Elizabeth on future trips!”
“Chloe did a great job watching my Elton, who can be a high maintenance kitty. She sent daily pictures and updates. I came home to him happy healthy and relaxed. The house was neat and clean. I would highly recommend Chloe to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Jamie is awesome! This is my first time using this service and I am extremely pleased. Jamie is professional, prompt and she really connected with my pet. I get pictures, a report and she follows the routine we decided on. I highly recommend her and the service! I have peace of mind knowing my cat is in her care.”
“Sarah was great. She came on time and was very easy to communicate with. She sent us great photos of our kitty. When we got home our kitty was happy to see us but was well taken care of. I would definitely recommend using Sarah and will keep her in mind whenever we need a sitter in the future.”
“Angela cat-sat for us for a long weekend and did a great job with our cat. He's only been with us for about 1.5 months, so his routine can be a little tricky. She accommodated him wonderfully, and he appeared very happy when we returned.”
“She accepted my last minute request for someone to check in on my cat. Very flexible, and despite the fact I hadn't prepared, she took care of everything. Thank you!”
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!
“She was great!! My cat had so much fun with her. I’m new to this app and having someone house sit but i had no worry with her. She went above and beyond and i will definitely use her again”
“Eliza was great, it was comforting to know she was caring for our cats while away. She followed all instructions and communicated effectively. Highly recommend!”
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 currently work full time as a pet sitter in addition to small freelance work so my schedule is flexible. On weekdays I will be gone for short periods of time but can be back every couple hours. I always make sure to get my pups set up when I leave the house. I'm a very hands on pet sitter. 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.
“Michelle was absolutely fantastic! She was punctual, communicative, made sure Roux La La got her meds, and gave her lots of love. Michelle has a warm energy that my kitty took to right away. I'm so grateful to have peace of mind while I'm traveling, knowing that I can rely on Michelle. Roux La La and I look forward to more bookings with her.”
“Marisa is my dog sitter from before she was on Rover and to this day my go-to for the care of my beloved pets. She does well with my big rottweiler mix clementine who is quirky as well as my Chihuahua Enyo who has very refined tastes in humans. Marisa has cared for my dogs for long and short stays (times when I was out of the country for months) and has cared for my older lady as she was on a complicated daily medicine regiment with no issues. I literally could not reccomend anyone more highly for your pet care needs. I don't know what I'd do without her help!!!”
About: Hi! We’re Britt & James — lifelong dog lovers, experienced pet sitters, and proud pup parents to our sweet girl Jessie 🐾 Between the two of us, we’ve cared for countless dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. James works from home full-time, so pups are rarely left alone and always have company throughout the day. Britt works a flexible hybrid schedule, allowing plenty of time for walks, playtime, enrichment, and snuggles. We each bring something a little different to the table: Britt has a soft spot for senior dogs and experience with pups who need extra patience and TLC, while James is great at keeping energetic dogs active, engaged, and entertained. Together, we make a calm, attentive team that truly loves getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. We live in a quiet New Orleans neighborhood with a fully enclosed backyard featuring double-secured fencing — perfect for safe play, sunbathing, zoomies, or just sniffing around. Our home is cozy, dog-friendly, and set up to comfortably accommodate different routines. Whether your dog is playful, shy, cuddly, independent, young, senior, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like family here. We’d love to set up a meet-and-greet and see if we’re a good fit for your pup 😊 Daily Schedule: James works from home full-time, so dogs are rarely left alone during the day. Britt works a hybrid schedule, which allows flexibility for walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Time Alone: Dogs are typically not left alone for more than a few hours at a time. Walks & Potty Breaks: Regular walks and backyard potty breaks are built into our daily routine. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Overnights: We’re home overnight and keep a calm, consistent evening routine. We maintain a calm, thoughtfully managed home environment with our pup, Jessie 🐾 She’s a gentle, easygoing dog who has been doing great with others, and we’re very intentional about compatibility when accepting bookings. We only overlap stays when it feels like a great fit for everyone involved, and we’re always happy to do slow introductions or keep dogs fully separate if needed. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first. We live in a cozy, converted New Orleans shotgun-style house that’s easy to section off depending on your pup’s needs — whether they prefer their own space or like to stay close by. We also have a double-secured fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Since we both work from home (James full-time, Britt hybrid), your pup will rarely be left alone and will always have a calm, animal-loving presence around. Britt is especially experienced with senior dogs and special routines, while James is patient and gentle with shy or nervous pups, particularly those who may need extra time warming up to men. We’re happy to accommodate crate training, medication, and specific routines to help your dog feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while they’re with us.
About: Cats have been part of my life for over 30 years, and I currently share my home with my 15-year-old domestic shorthair, Meatball. Living with a senior cat has taught me that every cat has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I believe the best care comes from respecting those differences. What sets me apart is reliability. If I tell you I'll be there, I'll be there. As a U.S. Air Force veteran, I learned the importance of responsibility, attention to detail, and following through on my commitments. Those values guide how I care for every pet and every home I'm trusted to enter. Whether your cat is outgoing and playful or prefers quiet companionship, I'm happy to meet them on their terms. I'll carefully follow feeding schedules, clean litter boxes, refresh water, provide playtime or affection if they want it, and make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable. I also provide photo and message updates as often as you'd like, so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands. I'm respectful, organized, calm, and quiet while staying in clients' homes, and I know how important it is to maintain the routines that help cats feel secure. I'm available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and for repeat clients I'm happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. My goal is simple: when you come home, your cat is content, your home is just as you left it, and you have complete peace of mind while you're away.
About: Hello, well experienced cat owner. I have watched and care for other cat owners and provide the same amount of love and affection. I am patient for cats that are timid and if any of the them scratch, bite or hiss it is not an issue TJ me at all.

“Took wonderful care of our boys so we could enjoy our visit to NOLA. He was right in the French quarter so it was very convenient. Thank you so much Michael!”
“Etta was awesome!! Very communicative and great company for my little baby girl. She was very excited to take care of Gecka and took great care of her. She was very mindful of her potty training schedule and her meal. I am glad I picked her to take care of my puppy.”
“If I could leave 10 gold stars I would! Lindsey took such good care of my very spoiled little pugs. They hate being alone and I don't think they had a moment unattended in the 5 days they spent with Lindsey. Her dog Lola sealed the deal for the pugs as they love other dogs and feel like it's a party if other furry beings are around. On the second morning we were to take the dogs to Lindsey they didn't get off the couch. As soon as we asked if they wanted to see Lola, they were immediately at the door- such a good sign! Every night we picked up happy, tired doggies. We were able to visit New Orleans without worrying about our babies. A Godsend! Thank you so much Lindsey. We so appreciate you!”
“Margaret was great with our baby while she healed from her spay. She even set up a mattress for her to lay on and be cozy. We will definitely use her services again.”

“Oshie treated Miles like family during his visit! We received pictures of him throughout the day and we knew he was in good hands right from the start! Oshie was a lovely and gracious host all around! When we inevitably visit New Orleans again, we will definitely be reaching out again! Thank you so much!”
“Cindy is the BEST! We are so grateful and we are so lucky that our doggo was under Cindy’s care! From the moment we met Cindy - we were comforted by her inviting nature. We are from out of town, and Cindy cared for our sensitive dog while we saw the sites of New Orleans! Cindy and her beautiful home with a spacious, fenced-in yard are a total dream! We feel like we met a new friend. Thank you, Cindy!??❤️ We will definitely stay connected! We give her all the accolades possible and will recommend her to all of our friends and family!”
“Emily was awesome! She watched both of my dogs (including my 12 week old puppy!) for the day on short notice. I got lots of picture updates, so I knew my pups were in good hands. They came home happy and tired. I wouldn’t hesitate to use her again or recommend her to a friend!”
About: I've had dogs all of my adult life. I had 6 at one time and now have 2 Chihuahuas who I adore. I love all pets and want to be your pups best friend. I regularly pet sit for my 2 kids' dogs (Frenchie, Australian shepherd and golden doodle). I've also pet sat at a good friend's house for her 3 pups and brought my 2 also. I am retired so I have a lot of free time. I can walk or visit your pups regularly. My schedule is very flexible. I can help out at any time. I have a fenced yard and it is secure. My pups can't get out and they get along with all dogs. My pups are treated like the king and queen they are.
“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!”
“Hazel returned to Roxanne's for a date and she was so excited when she got out of the car I thought she might knock the front door down! She came back to us well played and very happy.”
“Evlin was Great! She took great care of my dog Dutch. She sent pictures daily and made sure he had plenty of attention. I would definitely use her service again.”
“Ellen is one of the best. She took loving daycare of Charley and was so good at keeping in touch with photos! My upcoming trip will be so much less stressful knowing Charley is with her when I'm away.”
About: I am now retired and have total availability. For walks or drop ins I need to keep my service area within 5-7 miles. For longer stays I am willing to expand my area upon request. I began my pet care as a child, taking home every stray dog I saw. Nursing sheep, stray cats, bunnies, you name it. I was then a vet tech, rescue foster, and sitter. As my life has changed my love for, and enjoyment of caring for pets has not. I bond well with animals, and have the experience to know when firmness is required. I will always care for your animal as i would my own. ( spoiled ) I have a good availability and experience with all ages of pets. Including training to elderly animals who need special care. I am comfortable administering meds, and dealing with unique or special circumstances. Finally, I am reliable. You can rest assured that your baby will be well cared for. when I house sit I will keep your place clean daily. If you desire addition plant care or whatever, just ask. I am retired. This gives me great availability to care for your pet. I can adjust my schedule to fit your needs. At times I prefer overnights at your place so as to not disturb my husband. I have a fenced yard. At your home or mine we get plenty of potty breaks, walks, and play. I only leave the house to go to the store or appts.

“Angela did a terrific job walking my dog. She was prompt and flexible with start times. She even walked him in the cold rain one day! I would definitely hire her again as a dog walker to help me out.”
“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: I've had pets my entire life. I'm retired now and travel extensively for part of the year, so I'm unable to have pets of my own and thought this would be a great way to keep busy while I am in town. I have a doggy door and a large, gated backyard for games of fetch or hide and seek. I will provide a safe, loving home while you are away or drop-in if you so choose. When I'm in NOLA, I often work part-time from home. I'm retired so you could call me a homebody, and I'm often found working in my garden. In the fourth quarter of the year, I do travel until thanksgiving but will keep my calendar here updated. I am relatively flexible with scheduling. My son recently moved and took his Boston Terrier with him, so there are no longer any pets in my home. I have a large, fenced yard perfect for games of hide-and-seek or fetch, and I'm often in the back as well working on my garden. I do not have any plants that would present a danger. I love to take long, daily walks on the levee, which is only two blocks away...and would love to bring your pet along! I often have family visit, who also love pets.
“Elizabeth has been very responsive and was great during our meet and greet. She has been very patient with my dogs behaviors and will be using her regularly for walking services.”

“Lindsey went above and beyond to take care of Wells while I was out of town. She is a total rockstar. I cannot recommend Lindsey enough. Thank you so so much!!!”
About: I lost my own dog, Maika, a few years ago. She was 14 years old but it was way too early … I’m not ready to get a new dog myself, so Rover has been perfect. I moved to New Orleans a few years ago from Minnesota, where I was also an active member of Rover. My partner, Jonathan, and I bought a house that was built in 1909 — originally as an outdoor market in Holy Cross. It’s now a huge open space attached to a large fenced in yard. Dogs love it!. The dogs hang with me and I usually leave the door open to the back yard, which is basically a mini park with several fruit trrees. The neighborhood itself is also wonderful, there’s a large open field that is fenced in, I a great place for playing fetch or chasing frisbees. The levee is also perfect for long morning or evening walks. I''m a writer and work from home, so having a pup or two around is a real pleasure. I often take the dogs on walks or runs along the levee. But there’s also plenty of space in the house in yard if they just want to chill at home. Usually I work and puddle about doing arts and crafts and doggy's tag behind. The yard has both sunny spots and nice shade… Perfect for the pups.
“Deana was fantastic. She showed up on time, had a bubbly and friendly personality, was very communicative and efficient and warm with the pups. One of my dogs is really smart and judgmental and she immediately rolled on her back for pets and scratches and wagged her tail as soon as Deana walked up (and was a total stranger to her). I highly recommend her and we will use her again!”
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 and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.
“Michelle has always been prompt and thorough. She is knowledgeable and will go above and beyond to accommodate your and your pet’s needs. I would recommend her to anyone.”
“Megan, is a lifesaver. I was in texas for work and needed a last minute dog walker. She and my fur baby jade connected very well. Megan is on time to walk jade, she is respectful, and I will be scheduling her when I need someone to look after jade. Big Thanks for your help Megan, again life save.”
“Chloe is dedicated to walking my pup who loves her. She braves all weather conditions and schedule changes with a good attitude. My dog Sophie gets the zoomies after every walk.”
About: 8 years of vet technician experience, CPR administration of medicine. Knowing behavior and most important making sure they feel as if they are at home. My name is Brittany, I have full availability. I am looking to make this my full time job so I can finish online college for my bachelor's in psychology and attend to my daughter. I go by Desirae as well. I have a fenced in back yard and also enough bedrooms to separate any that need separated. If I go to someone's home I will do as they ask.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and they’ve always been at the center of my world. My most recent pup, Effy, was with me for 15 years — she was truly the love of my life. While I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own again, I couldn’t imagine my life without them, which is why I’m so excited to be here on Rover! Your pet will be loved and cared for like my own. I can’t wait to meet them I work from home Monday–Friday, so your pet will have my full attention throughout the day — no long stretches alone. I am able to work remotely so care during the day is no issue. I live in an apartment in Meraux above my dad’s office, so while there’s no yard, we have plenty of space to get outside for walks. There are stairs, but I’m happy to carry pets up and down as needed.

About: I love dogs and love caring for them. I am fun and energetic. I could spend hours playing with dogs. If yuh need someone that is reliable and that you can depend on them to take care of your beloved just as you would, I’m your girl! I can handle any breed at any size. I treat animals with love and respect. I have had some experience of taking care of people animals while they were gone for vacation or just out of town. I have three animals of my own and know how to keep them in control. If there are things you would like to me teach your dog I can do my best to help you train your dog. Please contact me soon. I currently work full time so I am available after 3 pm on the weekdays. I can check on your beloved pet during my lunch break. I have full availability on the weekends. I have a nice fenced backyard and live close to City Park. I enjoy taking walks so your pet will definitely get the exercise they need. If the pet is staying in their home I can ensure that will feel safe and comfortable. I can handle pets with separation anxiety. My calm spirit makes every pet I’ve watched feel safe with me.
“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.”

“Iryna was incredibly sweet and nurturing to our cats, Ziggy & Roux! Her communication with me throughout their stay with her was impeccable. We hope to work with Iryna again!”
“Desirae was amazing with my pups! She sent lots of photos and clearly she and her daughter gave them lots of love and attention. She even went out of her way to bathe them so they came home nice and clean! She used to be a vet tech and even teaches out to me with an issue she identified in one of our girls and was able to cure her. Thanks so much Desirae!! We will definitely use her again!”
“I take my two male cats to Etta’s anytime I go out of town. She is loving and patient with them, and she keeps you updated with pictures! I will definitely keep going with Etta!”
“My dog had such a great experience with Margaret. Margaret sent videos and photos from daily walks with my baby. Belle was in great hands. I trust Margaret and will be using her services again for as long as she is available. Thank you Margaret.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from high-energy dogs to more sensitive or anxious ones. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s emotional needs and body language, and I prioritize making them feel safe, calm, and understood in their environment. I have hands-on experience with crate training, building positive associations, and helping dogs develop confidence when left alone. I’m patient, consistent, and gentle in my approach, and I tailor care to each dog rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to create a calm, secure experience for them while you’re away. I occasionally bring my well-socialized dog with me for longer stays, but only with prior approval and proper introductions. I’m a full-time dog sitter and spend most of the time at my house, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced in yard for the digs to have zoomies in! There’s a splash-pad and cooling stations so no one overheats. I structure my days around walks, play, and downtime, and I’m mindful of keeping routines consistent so pets feel secure. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care on both weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize being present and your dogs will rarely, if at all, be left alone. I provide a calm, structured, and attentive environment where your pet’s safety and comfort are the top priority. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual needs, and I adjust my approach to help each dog feel secure and understood. I’m experienced with crate use, positive reinforcement, and helping dogs settle in new environments. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and take care to avoid overwhelming situations, especially for more sensitive or anxious dogs. In your home or mine, I maintain a clean, predictable space and ensure pets are supervised, exercised appropriately, and never left in situations where they could feel unsafe or stressed.
“I am so grateful for the care you gave my little girl. Thank you so much for keeping me informed, sending me photos and videos, and being patient with me through your messages and understanding. I know from your videos that she was comfortable with you.”
“Awesome. We love sending our dog to stay with Erin and Robin, because we know that she is safe and happy the whole time. They have an amazing property that any dog would enjoy--a big lawn, woods, even a stream to play in. These ladies are our FIRST choice, every single time we need doggy care.”
“Cindy took very good care of my cat, Leona! My kitty has a hard time adjusting to new places, but Cindy was very, very patient and loving towards her. She also went above and beyond to make sure everything was ready for Leona's arrival and pick-up. I highly recommend Cindy to other pet parents!”
“Lindsey and her family were fantastic while watching my pup. This was my first time using Rover, so I was nervous, but Lindsey sent plenty of updates/videos/pictures which really eased my anxiety. I will definitely be using Lindsey again!”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Regina. She sent pics of my baby after she was picked up. She went above and beyond to help me get my dog to her and from her. She is a fantastic lady.”
“Wonderful stay for T, with the loveliest family, I felt completely at ease with him being under their care. Great setup and her pup, is the kindest gentlest pup. I couldn’t have asked for a better situation for T. 💕”
“Blake was amazing. She was available to take Luna last minute and Luna took to her really well. She was also really conveniently close to home about 4 mins from the house. Would definitely book again and recommend”
“Having to leave Woody for a week while traveling for my son‘s wedding was something I dreaded. Katherine made it unexpectedly dreamy, though!! The messages and videos she sent were so very reassuring. I could easily see that Woody was well cared for and had a blast!”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my boy. They did a great job, and he seemed to have a good time, which I appreciate. I will be reaching out for my next trip or day event. Thank you!”

“Natalie was amazing! We booked with her to board our dog for a weekend while we’re were in town visiting. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates throughout the stay which we really appreciated! She took great care of our dog and we’re so thankful :)”
