“Lauren and Cody provided attentive care for Quincy during our 5-day trip. They sent regular updates with photos and videos, which was very reassuring. They were accommodating with his schedule and made sweet gestures like creating a cozy sleeping space with his special blanket. Their children were especially kind with Quincy. While we had some miscommunication about his potty routine that led to some accidents, they remained patient and caring throughout his stay. Quincy enjoyed playing with their dog Yo-Yo, and it was nice to see him socializing. They were flexible with drop-off/pickup times and maintained good communication throughout.”
“Nicolette kept my baby Zeus for an extended period of time (nearly 3 weeks) while I dealt with a family emergency out of state. I had not a care or worry in the world while he was there, knowing that he was in excellent care. She and her family love on him like he is their own. Highly recommend!”
“She was amazing! She sent me pictures of her and my fur baby and my Diamond started getting attached to her! She kept me updated the entire 4 days and I will definitely be returning if I need care again. I was nervous because it was my JRT's 1st time boarding but she made it super fun and relaxing for her! Thank you so much”
“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!”
“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.”
“We were on vacation for almost three weeks and Crystal kept us up to date with everything with our baby, we are so happy to have found the best caregiver! Definitely 100% recommended!”
“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!”
“Keith was great with our 3 dogs. Communication is great. He sent us videos and pictures during our dogs' stay with him. Also, his backyard is very suitable for dogs. Highly recommend.”
“Janelle was very attentive and supportive during my booking. She is very responsive and will provide you with update on your fur baby. She sends pictures and keeps you updated. I will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Tracy was absolutely amazing with Rocky. She was so sweet and caring from the very beginning. She kept me updated the entire time, sending pictures and letting me know how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rocky came back home calm, happy, and not nervous at all, that says everything. I’m truly grateful for how well she took care of him. Highly recommend her and would definitely trust her again with Rocky”
“Marqita did a wonderful job sitting for our baby boy. She is awesome!!! We were very pleased with the service she provided and look forward to booking her again. We would highly recommend her if your looking for someone that is caring and compassionate and loves what she does. Thanks again for a job well done.”
“Christie is phenomenal. I couldn’t have picked a better sitter for my yorkie, Teddy. I received so many pictures and updates throughout his stay. He was clean when I picked up and so happy. Thanks again for making things a breeze for our family.”
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.
“Emery was excellent! Exactly what I needed. I hired her to take my dog, Bella, to the daycare and walls while I was away on vacation for a week. She was flexible, punctual, communicated regularly, with a positive attitude. Bella responded well to her. I always felt she was safe and in good hands. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate on the daily walks, but that is not her fault. She did the best she could under the circumstances. I can confidently recommend her and will use her services again in the future.”
“Michael is my go-to dog sitter. He is a wonderful caretaker. He sends pictures and videos with his regular updates. My dog gets so excited whenever he sees Michael. It is such an assurance to know that our sweet boy is getting so much love and such great care while we are away. I HIGHLY recommend Michael. I'm sure that you will be as happy with him as we have been.”

“I have 2 (somewhat litter box trained) ferrets, and Ashley took great care of them, despite how messy I know they can be. Thank you so much! They’re free fed and have a water fountain, and both stayed full the whole week and a half I was gone. I was so scared of coming back to ferret poop all over my house, but the place was perfectly clean. She even worked with me when I forgot to leave my key under the mat. Thank you again!”
About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I can remember. I grew up with at least 3-4 dogs in my household at all times, volunteered at the local animal shelter to help take care of the overflow of dogs, fostered a litter of puppies, and of course the occasional dog sitting for a neighbor or family friend. I am currently working 2 part time jobs at the moment, but they usually include short days and hours. I am mostly available from mid afternoon to nighttime on any given day, especially weekends! Schedule is subject to change weekly. I have a big kennel in my home if it’s ever needed. I also have plenty of toys, treats, and other equipment like poop bags, leashes, or harnesses.
“Wonderful experience. Kaylee was always prompt and professional, asked me plenty of questions in the beginning to make sure she understood my pet and what we needed. Checked in on time every day and sent me detailed reports. I couldn’t ask for a better experience.”
“Tessie did a great job checking in on our girls! We have one who is very shy and she still get her a couple treats. Then she entertained our kitten for the rest of the drop in to get some energy out. Will be using her again!”
“Katie was awesome as always! We booked her for a drop-in this time and she made sure Toast got all of her energy out by playing in the backyard, fed her, and gave her medication as instructed. Toast loves it when she comes to visit!”
About: As someone who has worked with a variety of domesticated felines, I’ve learned that the last thing a cat wants is a sitter. Lol. Most just want someone who can scoop their box and open their can of food. I’m a professional in that area. I’m also good at reading kitty behavioral cues. I can usually tell if a feline is going to be my friend or not. I know when to give them their space. I’ve watched kitties who are social and some that are shy. I’m pretty good with a laser and always enjoy playing with or sitting with a sweet cat or cats. I can also prepare special diets and give insulin shots. The Kitties always train me well!
“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!”
“Alana is my GO TO when I leave my fur babies for weekend trips. She is attentive, kind and always on time. She has even been there for me for last minute needs. She is reliable, flexible and my first choice!”
“Thank you Emily for taking care of our kitties and treating them like they were your own! Emily provided amazing communication and awesome updates. I not once worried about my fur babies while I was out of town. Emily is awesome and I highly recommend!!”
“Ross made drop-in visits for our kitties (2) while we were on vacation. Ross was very responsive to all communication from the beginning of this process, through our return. He sent photos of our kitties each day when he visited. We will likely hire Ross again to care for our cats when we leave town.”
“Booked Brijaye at last minute. I crossed my finger because I wasn't able to meet her before I left. Luckily, she is efficient, trustworthy, and loving to pets. She will definitely be my cats' sitter again. ❤️”
“Karsyn does a great job caring for my Stella pig. She communicates well and is flexible with our needs. It brings me peace knowing that I can be away and someone is there that I can trust.”
“Shannon went above and beyond to care for our three cats while we were out of town for 2 long weeks. She made sure their litter boxes were clean and tidy, made sure they had food and water and loved on them. We were able to enjoy or trip knowing she was taking care of our kitties while we were away. Would 💯 recommend and hope to book with her again in the future.”

About: Dog lover of 27 years. I'm a stay-at-home mother to 3 beautiful babies and 2 fur babies. I am a total dog enthusiast. I love all things dog and am always happy to meet and love up on new fur pups. SPOILER ALERT: All fur babies will be spoiled rotten and living their best life! I am flexible with my availability and make it easy for my clients to book with me. I always give the best possible experience that I can. I love to provide fur parents with a way to keep their fur babies healthy, active and happy while they are away. I have a fenced-in backyard and a fenced-in patio (for the pups that love to be outside and bask in the sun). My home has doggie gates in every room to keep your fur babies safe and playmates in order. I treat every dog as my own and love to see them happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old, and I also have a dog of my own (Millie:)) and my Shih Tzu baby Rico I’ve helped cared for back home. I give the same care , love , patience and attentiveness to every dog ! As I know it is important for your dog to feel safe and secure away from your home 💕 Since I do have a dog of my own , the necessities are apart of my everyday routine! I am in college full time however I am free everyday after 1pm . (Tuesdays , Thursdays and the weekend I am free all day:)) I am also very flexible so please don’t hesitate to ask questions ! Please note that I can not host more than one dog at a time due to me being a smaller space. Your fur baby will feel very comfy here ! My girl Millie has adapted to our relaxed routine which involves her feeding and bathroom schedule along play time and cuddles . We take trips to the public dog park as well as my apartment one. We also have plenty of play time inside . The same goes for your baby!
“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.”
“I have never used a dog sitting service before so I was very nervous but Jennifer made me feel very comfortable leaving my puppy with her & he had a great time! He came home well taken care of & worn out, which was awesome. Already planning to use her services again!”
About: Kind, nice and attentive, Your Dogs Safe Space away from Home. A special getaway for your pup who will never want to leave. Come Experience what you will never forget! I’m home throughout the day and can provide attentive, reliable care for your dog. I will walk, feed, and care for your pet according to your instructions in a safe, pet-friendly environment. I also have a dog house available if needed, and indoor dogs are welcome as well. I currently accept small and medium-sized dogs only. “I have fur babies that can play with your dogs! If your dog is not neutered, please let me know. Female dogs will go out separately from males for potty breaks, playtime, and feeding times. I will feed them as requested, provide water breaks, and make sure they are in a safe, caring environment.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up with pets taught me responsibility, patience, and the joy that comes from truly understanding an animal’s needs. As an adult, I’ve continued that commitment through responsible pet ownership, giving my own pets a loving, structured, and enriching home. My foundation in animal care goes even deeper thanks to my years in 4‑H, where I gained hands‑on experience in dog husbandry. From training and grooming to understanding canine behavior and proper health routines, 4‑H gave me practical skills that I still use every day. It shaped the way I approach pet care—with intention, respect, and a focus on safety and well‑being. Whether it’s daily walks, structured play, or simply offering a calm, comforting presence, I bring a lifetime of experience and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Your dog isn’t just another booking to me—they’re a member of the family, and I treat them with the same attention and affection I give my own. Working from home allows me to build pet care into the rhythm of my day in a way that feels effortless and intentional. Mornings start with a quick check‑in, fresh water, and a walk to get everyone moving. Throughout the workday, I’m able to offer consistent companionship — whether that’s a midday potty break, a play session between meetings, or simply being a calm presence while I work. I can keep an eye on their behavior, maintain feeding schedules, and respond quickly to their needs. Afternoon breaks often turn into enrichment time: a walk, a puzzle toy, or a little training practice to keep their minds engaged. Even as I wrap up my workday, pets stay part of the flow — evening walks, dinner routines, and plenty of attention. Working from home means your pet gets steady care, structure, and affection woven naturally into my day, not squeezed in around it. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs (74 lb. silver lab + 35 lb. terrier mix). My goal is to keep your pets routine consistent while providing a clean, safe and calm environment. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal rhythm. I follow your feeding, walking, and medication schedules exactly as you outline, and I make sure they get the same level of attention and affection they’re used to. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Robin was wonderful! So responsive and communicative. I have never used a dog sitter before but I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with Robin in her home. She sent photo updates frequently and sent my puppy home with some goodies. We loved Robin!”
About: My husband and I have always had pets growing up. We knew we wanted this for our children as well. Our daughter and son love pets and would want a farm if we allowed it! I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings. Before I leave for work all pets are fed and taken outside. Upon returning home I let the pets out again for a bit longer to play in our fenced in yard. Mornings begin with food and water and a morning treat. Bella lets us know when she needs to go out by going to the patio door. During the day she is very chill and usually lays on the sofa waiting on the kids to return from school. When everyone is home from work and school Bella is fed again and everyone gets some snuggles in with her.
About: Are you looking for someone who will care for your baby as well as you? Someone who gets animals on a special level. Someone who can bond and build trust w your pet & family? I've been in Pet care for 15 years. I've been with kittens as they were born and I've held an old dog as it took its last breaths. Been loving animals my entire life. I've added Rover to help reach more loving families in my town ❤️ as well as reach out to other communities I'm currently working Rover 100% of my time. If you need me to sit with your fur babe, I'll be there the entire time. Ill be reachable and able to answer questions the entire time. I am use to walking in the Alaskan and PNW weather, so taking them for walks is a definite YES. Louisiana is home and I'm so glad to be back and able to meet my southern four legged friends. I love to play with the dogs. We have such a wonderful understanding of eachother. I will be seen spending most of the time in the yard or playing inside with my furry friends.
“Alex really helped us last minute and I could not be happier! Zeppelin had the BEST time and all the pictures from the day were so cute!!. I could not be happier with Alex and will definitely be rebooking!!!”
About: I’ve had several dogs in my lifetime. Ranging from tiny to huge! I’m getting a golden retriever in October and would love to hangout with some pups before then. I love going to parks to read and listen to podcast, wouldn’t mind some company! I am a full time student with only a few class in the mornings. I also am a part time waitress. My partner is always home after 6pm, so the two of us manage quite well with our golden retriever. I have a fenced in backyard and a park down the street. Our home is a great environment for your pet and they will be loved for sure !!
About: My dad is a veterinarian so I grew up surrounded by animals. I’ve had many pets throughout the years including turtles, chickens, rabbits and more. I’ve always loved being surrounded by and caring for animals. I currently have an 11 year old boxer and a young cat. I work for myself so I have the flexibility of making my own schedule and working from home during the week. I’m available for daycare or to leave my home as needed to provide walks and care for your pets! I have a spacious, fenced in yard so there’s plenty of room to run and play. My older dog is a sweetheart and a great companion to keep your fur babies company. My cat gets along great with other animals. He lives inside and out but mostly stays out.
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 have owned and lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I have 3 fur babies who are spoiled and well-loved, Mylo the Siberian Husky (2 years old), Lily the sweet mix breed rescue (6 years old), and Baxter the Dachshund Beagle rescue (7 years old) and 1 fur nephew, Rufus the Corgi (3 years old) who frequently stays with his cousins and auntie to play. We love the dog park, long walks (Mylo especially), and couch snuggles/naps. They enjoy chasing each other in the backyard and to birdwatch/neighborhood watch from the living room windows. I have experience with many breeds and all ages. Having two rescues myself I am also comfortable with rescue dogs who may need more time to warm up and trust you. I also love cats and have always had one-I just don’t currently have one. Fur babies aren’t just pets-they are family. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I am available for walks, drop ins, and boarding any day of the week or weekend. I can come to you! I have a fenced yard and 3 fur babies who are dog friendly and love to play! I am happy to use crates if that is preferred. While I don’t mind your dog staying here with us, I am also able to come to your dog in your home if that is more comfortable.
“Lauren has a nice house and good sized back yard to accommodate her Rover dogs. This is our first time using Lauren. She and her daughter made Meryl feel comfortable and showered her with attention and affection. Lauren had great communication with us. We had a meeting to introduce Meryl to them day before our dog sitting appointment that went very well. We want to use Lauren again soon for boarding. I highly recommend her for your dog.”

About: I have a long history of pet sitting for family and friends. I love giving pets and attention to my furry friends. I have two cats, but have a very soft spot for pups, too. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for walks during the day/ evening and for house sitting or check ins. I will treat your baby like they’re my own! I know they get sad when you’re away, so I am available for extra love and keeping things as normal as possible.
About: I absolutely adore animals of all shapes and sizes! I personally have 2 dogs and a cat but I’ve had snakes, a chinchilla, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, among other family pets. I’ve never sought out an animal, I’ve only taken in animals when other people couldn’t continue caring for them. I adore any animal and love connecting with them. I also previously worked at Camp Bow Wow so I’ve worked with 100’s of dogs with different temperaments, personalities, and personal needs. While working there I had to give all sorts of meals and medicines. Everyday, I have to do basic pet tasks such as feeding, changing water, changing litter, and medications. I also walk my dogs multiple times a day. I follow any basic rules set out for me, i.e. diet, walk time, social time. They are the children of the owner and I understand they sometimes need special care or the pet and owner have a certain routine in place. But I have basic knowledge on plenty animals and can gladly care for them as if they are my own.
“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.”
“Tenay is a skilled and enthusiastic dog walker who keeps in touch when caring for pets. She stayed with my pup for three days while I was out of town, and did a great job, even managing to get my "loves to nap" dog out for some long walks (which he needs). She sent photos and videos and I felt confident that he was Ok at all times.”
“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 had and been around dogs my whole life. Friends and family have relied on me many times to watch and care for the dogs. I will give your pet constant love and support throughout our time together. Dogs are my absolute favorite! I currently work multiple part time jobs that I set my own schedules for so I am usually available at anytime of the day with a little advance notice. Evenings and nights are almost always free. Safety and trust is so important to me and that is my top priority when caring for your pet/home. After that, my goal is to be the best friend your pet has! I will give them plenty of attention and play with them as much or little as they like. Happy dogs make me happy!
“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!”
About: I am an experienced pet sitter providing dependable care, feeding, exercise, companionship, and stability to pets needing some extra care while their owner is away. I am dedicated to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work a very flexible job, so I am able to come to your pets at any time and enjoy spending time with them during the day! If a pet is in my home, I try to make them as comfortable as possible in a new environment. That includes a possible test visit (if wanted), and consistent updates to pet owners. If in a client home, I stick to the routine provided and ensure that the pets are safe and well cared for, and check in with pet owners consistently.
About: Every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their family is away. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and preferences so I can provide care that's consistent with what they're used to at home. I enjoy working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from playful puppies to relaxed seniors. Whether your dog loves long walks, games of fetch, or simply having someone keep them company, I'll make sure they receive patient, attentive care. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout every visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I am currently working part time as an accountant and an assistant coach for the LSU track team. I also attend LSU Business College and am going into my sophomore year! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll carefully follow your care instructions, maintain your pet's normal routine, and make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of attention during every visit. I'll also send photo and message updates so you can feel confident knowing how your pet is doing while you're away. I'm respectful of clients' homes and always leave everything clean and secure before I leave.
“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 have had the privilege of growing up surrounded by animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to cows and beyond. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and that love and care extends to the pets I look after. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pet, and I’m here to offer a safe, loving, and attentive environment for them while you’re away. I currently have a dog who holds a very special place in my heart. He has some special needs, so I’m continually learning new ways to ensure he receives the best possible care. I’m comfortable administering medication and adjusting care routines to meet the specific needs of each pet, whether they’re young and active, senior and slow, or have unique health considerations. I work full-time Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 4 PM. On weekends, I’m usually fully available, and I can also meet in the evenings and mornings before work. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on providing a comfortable, safe, and consistent environment for your pets. I do this by following routines and maintaining a familiar space.
About: I guess I would say what sets me apart from others is my attitude. I have a wonderful and positive attitude, especially around the animals and have taken care of quite a few different species of animals as well as helped to rescue some after storms and hurricanes. I am interested in this line of work because of My Love for animals, and just how crazy this world has gotten. I would much rather be with our furry friends than at/on any shop or work experience type environment. Currently, I do not work full-time. I’m looking to make this a full-time job/re-occurence, so that I can take care of, or look after your animal whenever is convenient for you. Thanks so much for including me in your pet(s) needs services. At my current home, I have a pretty large size fenced in backyard all the way around, and no holes/ways for any dogs to be able to get out. I also have a doggie door built in for animals to go through when it’s open (dogs, and cats that are able to use it). It is an extra large wide doggie door because I had a yellow lab and she was not small, so I’d gotten the biggest one that they had at the time, and installed it which is a plus for animals who can’t hold it, they can run outside to the backyard and use whenever they need to, which is a great perk. I do have one female cat currently (8 years old) and she is dog friendly. She has been through two separate dogs in the past, one being a German Shepherd, the other a yellow lab and now I have a 9 month ole adopted/rescue dog named Lumi. She is part Dalmatian, and part terrier mix. I promise if she (the cat) was able to withstand both of those two dogs always wanting to play with her and nudging her, then I’m pretty sure she can tolerate any dog. She is, and has been a great cat. Also at my house, I have a covered with blanket/sheet ottoman/foot rest that I allow the dog and cat to climb in and sleep on that your animal is welcome to use. Dogs and cats both can bring so much comfort and joy in a time of need, and for me that’s what it was at first, but now I just enjoy their company, cute faces, being able to talk to them, and give them love. I love to take care of them and treat them as any animal should be treated, the correct way. I will treat your animal with as much love and attention as I do my very own, and look forward to meeting both human and animal!!!

About: Hello, my name is Ashley. I'm from Ohio and have been in Baton Rouge for the past 9 years. I've had dogs and other pets ever since I was born and have yet to meet a dog that I don't like. Recently, we bought our own home with a large yard. Its completely fenced in and in a nice neighborhood. My mini labradoodle, Peppa, loves its and goes out nearly every hour even if it's just to play. I am a stay at home mom of 5 children. They all love animals and have been taught how to behave around them. I require that any fur baby that I take in, have been around and did ok with a "human baby". Your pet will not be alone with my children, as a precaution, but its still important. I guarantee that I will treat any fur baby in my care as if it were my own. My job is to keep them as safe, comfortable, and happy as I possibly can. I am a fetch and belly rub professional. Looking forward to caring for your furry family member!

“Lauren and Cody provided attentive care for Quincy during our 5-day trip. They sent regular updates with photos and videos, which was very reassuring. They were accommodating with his schedule and made sweet gestures like creating a cozy sleeping space with his special blanket. Their children were especially kind with Quincy. While we had some miscommunication about his potty routine that led to some accidents, they remained patient and caring throughout his stay. Quincy enjoyed playing with their dog Yo-Yo, and it was nice to see him socializing. They were flexible with drop-off/pickup times and maintained good communication throughout.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Keith was great with our 3 dogs. Communication is great. He sent us videos and pictures during our dogs' stay with him. Also, his backyard is very suitable for dogs. Highly recommend.”
“Tracy was absolutely amazing with Rocky. She was so sweet and caring from the very beginning. She kept me updated the entire time, sending pictures and letting me know how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rocky came back home calm, happy, and not nervous at all, that says everything. I’m truly grateful for how well she took care of him. Highly recommend her and would definitely trust her again with Rocky”
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.
“Emery was excellent! Exactly what I needed. I hired her to take my dog, Bella, to the daycare and walls while I was away on vacation for a week. She was flexible, punctual, communicated regularly, with a positive attitude. Bella responded well to her. I always felt she was safe and in good hands. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate on the daily walks, but that is not her fault. She did the best she could under the circumstances. I can confidently recommend her and will use her services again in the future.”
“Alyssa was perfect with our girl, Basil! Very warm and inviting and made me feel at ease leaving our pup for the first time. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter. Her and her sweet pup were the perfect companions!!”

I’m used to feeding schedules, medication times, cleaning, and monitoring animals throughout the day, so adding pet sitting into my weekly routine feels seamless. Whether it’s morning check-ins before work or evening visits after my shift, I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, care, and affection. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every home I care for. With my vet tech experience, I follow structured routines, keep environments clean, secure doors and gates, and maintain each pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress.

“This was my first experience with leaving my Olive Oyl and Johanna made it easy for me. She was very assuring and took real good care of her, sent picture and messages to help comfort me. Knowing she was in good hands made the whole situation easier. I would definitely leave her with Johanna any time. Only issue was I’m not sure Olive Oyl was ready to come home she liked it so well. Thanks Johanna”
