This was our first time using her but, will definitely be using her services again….soon!!!”
“My 2 poodles had a stay for the weekend, I was nervous since this was their first stay but Rachel assured me everything will be fine and it definitely was!

My babies have a new best friend with Raven and can’t wait to go back!! I highly recommend her and her services & will be using her for future stays!!”

She made sure to give Nyla her breakfast and dinner as well as her medicine. And Nyla is a handful considering she is 62 pounds, but Marisa did great!”
“Once again, Tanks was so well cared for. He feels so at home at their home that I feel at ease when he visits there. Tank is loved there and the photos they text me show it! Thanks again!”
“Anna was the perfect person to care for our girls. Puppies are hard. Two puppies are even harder but she Rocked it.

“She went above and beyond everything I needed from her. Took amazing care of my cat, who is typically very shy but warmed up to her almost instantly. Highly recommend her and will be using her again if needed :)!”
“Brittnee was absolutely amazing and took wonderful care of our two cats while we were gone. She was responsible, dependable, and very attentive to our animals and their needs. We received frequent updates on their care and she gave us peace of mind leaving our cats in her keeping. We will definitely be booking Brittnee again for any of our future trips! She’s the best!”
“Brenley did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Razor. He truly went above and beyond during every visit. He carefully followed Razor’s feeding routine, washed and refilled his food and water bowls, cleaned and refreshed the litter box, and even vacuumed around the apartment when Razor made a mess. The way he kept everything clean and comfortable for Razor was remarkable. Razor is shy around strangers, but Brenley was very patient with him. He spent time sitting nearby, talking to him, offering toys, and giving him space to become comfortable at his own pace. He also sent detailed updates and plenty of photos after each visit, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I really appreciate the care and attention Brenley gave Razor. I will definitely try to book him again in the future whenever I need to leave my cat at home while traveling. Highly recommended!”
About: I've owned one cat and have spent my life around cats with all kinds of personalities, from playful and energetic to shy and independent. I understand that every cat is unique and that earning their trust takes patience, respect, and attentiveness. I'm comfortable caring for cats of all ages and temperaments, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering basic care, and providing enrichment through play or companionship—always at your cat's own pace. I pay close attention to changes in behavior or routine so I can quickly recognize if something seems out of the ordinary. Whether your cat loves to curl up for cuddles, chase toys around the house, or simply enjoys having a calm, familiar presence nearby, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every cat as if they were my own.
“Mary was great! I received an update each day of our vacation on Addison and Rafter. Mary has a true heart for animals so I had no worries my babies were taken care of. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi everyone! My name is Grace! I am 25 years old and I am a Registered Nurse at St Tammany Parish Hospital, where I have worked for the past three years. I have my CPR certification for people as well as knowledge of CPR for animals. I have volunteered at the Northshore Humane Society; where I have loved spending time in the cat cottage; and have always loved helping my friends and family with their kitty babies. With Rover, my goal is to take care of as many animals as I can via pet sitting! I can help with litter box hygiene, making sure pets get their meals preferably, and I can give medications if needed! My love for animals extends to another level due my family members’ allergies as I grew up, causing me to not be able to have a pet growing up. I would love to show your animals all of my love and care!
“Ellie did such an amazing job caring for our babies while we were away including outstanding communication with messages and pictures each time she visited —it meant so much!! This was our first time having someone care for them at home and she made us feel very comfortable and it was just an overall great experience. We will definitely be calling on Ellie again in the future.”
About: Cats are my absolute favorite animals, aside from having my own cats over the years i’ve always been drawn to strays, fostering and even bottle babies. I absolutely adore cats and cat sitting is one of my favorites!
“Alexa has been everything we needed in a pet sitter! It was our first time away on an extended vacation, and my nerves and guilt were through the roof! It didn’t take long for me to see how much my cat adores Alexa and was doing perfectly fine without us. AND! We’ve received some of the best pictures of our cat that we’ve ever had! Thank you, Alexa! As long as you are available, we will always book you.”

About: I recently adopted a cat 2 months ago and she has become my world. I feed her wet food daily and administer vitamins daily also. I clean her litter box daily. All cats deserve clean living spaces just as we do. Cats are very attached to their owner (even if some don’t act like it) and I would love to be that person to love on your baby while you’re away!

About: Recently retired teacher with a flexible schedule available to care for your furry family members while you travel or work. I’ve always been a huge animal lover and treat pets as family members. ( I also have a passion for pet photography.) I believe in regular communication throughout the day so that you can relax knowing your pets are safe and happy (I’ve been there and know how important that is!) ❤️ I’ve taken care of aging pets and know how to administer medication if needed. (As you can see from my photos, I LOVE taking pictures of your pet and sharing them with you! ). Edit: My husband recently retired so he is home and loves our furry visitors as much as I do! I’m retired and home every day so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! My husband is also home in the evenings to help if needed. While I’m new to Rover, I am not new to pet care! I will also provide you with an edited digital photo of your pet as a keepsake!❤️ I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run and play. Your pet will never be left unattended and will be given lots of love and attention. We have a laid back approach in our home and your pup will not be crated unless you request it. 🐾

As a service dog handler, I pay close attention to routines, body language, and safety, so your pet is always in good hands.

Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I plan my day around the animals I’m responsible for. I focus on reliable, punctual service and consistent routines so your pet gets calm, structured care every visit. I provide calm, structured, and attentive care in both my home and my clients’ homes. As a background-checked veteran and service dog handler, I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior. You’ll receive daily photo updates and messages so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I work from home during summer months.

I am comfortable with: * Small, medium, and large dogs * Feeding routines and medication reminders * Leash walking and basic behavior management * Maintaining clean and safe environments And providing photo updates throughout your stay! I am fully available throughout the summer and have flexible daytime and evening hours. I am home most of the day, so I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care as needed.

About: Hey y’all, I’m Holly! I’m a full-time dog sitter, boarding host, and obedience trainer living the farm life just outside the city. About 15 years ago, I traded the hustle and bustle for more space, privacy, and a dog-centered lifestyle—and now my partner Isaac and I have built our home around exactly that. We offer boarding and daytime playgroups in a secure, home-based setting with the amenities you’d expect from a large boarding facility, but with the comfort, attention, and personal care of a private home. Our farmhouse sits on a securely fenced acre, giving dogs room to safely play, explore, decompress, and enjoy their stay. Dogs are truly life here. In addition to boarding and training, I serve as the Program Director of a New Orleans-based dog rescue specializing in high-medical-need dogs. Because of that, I’m very comfortable administering medications, injections, fluids, specialty diets, and handling dogs who need extra patience or experience. I also have trusted veterinarians on speed dial should anything urgent ever come up. I have extensive experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from feral strays and high-drive working breeds to seniors, puppies, tiny Poodles, nervous dogs, and everything in between. Baths, light grooming, crate routines, structured play, and special care instructions are all no problem. Basic obedience training packages are also available for dogs who could use a little extra polish during their stay. You're welcome and encouraged to take a look at our reviews - we pride ourselves on giving stellar care! If you’re looking for a safe, experienced, dog-savvy home where your pup will be treated like one of our own, we’d love to welcome them! I board dogs professionally from my home, so caring for them is part of my everyday routine — not something I squeeze in around another job. During the day, I run supervised playgroups in our secure yard and rotate dogs based on size, age, energy level, and personality. High-energy dogs get room to play, seniors get a calmer pace, and shy or sensitive dogs are given time to settle in comfortably. Everyone receives structured playtime, potty breaks, meals, treats, rest time, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day. Our farmhouse sits on 3.5 securely fenced acres, tucked away from busy streets and set up with dogs in mind. This is a dog-centered home with plenty of space, toys, enrichment, and safe areas for both play and rest. Dogs are always supervised and thoughtfully matched with appropriate playmates. I take introductions, group dynamics, feeding routines, medications, and individual needs seriously so every dog can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for during their stay.

The other is a 2 year old poodle, he is my husband's service dog so usually he is at work with my husband all day.

I’m from the south and have come across all types of puppies (including gator pups) I have no problems in gaining new friends :) I am currently free lancing in artistic endeavors and having a friendly pet would help with the time I’m at home needing a little company and a less… talkative version than human conversation! I love animals and have experience with all types! (I’m from Louisiana so I mean ALL types) including the senior doggies ;) I have a closed in front patio with a little nature-esque ground for quick potty breaks and just to sunbathe when the need arises. I take walks often and live in a neighbor hood away from a busy strip so I can keep pets safe and exercised!

Definitely love dogs more then most humans ! Lol. I also specialize in puppy care / whelping as I’m a breeder myself as well. I’m currently working part time & pretty home based.

About: I have a standard size golden doodle and he is so affectionate so i know how it feels to leave your dog somewhere but here my goal is to provide the best at home care for your doodle/poodle. I have had a lot of trouble finding a suitable place for him because he doesn't love to be in the crate, he needs love all the time and want to be involved in everything as a family so if your dog is similar, i am the perfect match. i work from home and i dont believe in ever leaving my dog alone at home so basically i am always home to take care of your fur baby. I have a fenced yard and a standard size happy golden doodle to give company to your doodle/poodle. We have a free roaming environment at home with lots of backyard fetch and other games but can-do crate if you need. i dont like the idea of leaving my dog in the boarding day cares available because my dog doesnt feel comfortable and i dont either so i give a free home like environment with the air conditioned always running and me always availble at home. Hypoallergenic and friendly dogs only.
“Sawsan has been a wonderful caregiver for our puppy, Rooney. It is obvious that he has a wonderful time each day, as we get lots of pictures and videos of him playing. He always comes home exhausted from having so much fun, and is always excited when he arrives in the morning. She also works with him on training, and we have seen tons of improvement since he’s started going. Sawsan is so caring, and really treats our puppy as one of her own.”

I currently work part time as a kennel technician at Hickory Small Animal Hospital in Ponchatoula, where I help care for pets staying in the boarding facility. This experience has made me comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, routines, and individual needs. I also have extensive experience with horses and regularly help care for horses and assist with barn responsibilities for several owners. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I strive to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while making sure every animal feels safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I am a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make pet care a priority. I also work part time, but I am able to plan my schedule around bookings and make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have a fenced in yard where dogs can safely play and get plenty of outside time. I also have a friendly dog of my own who can provide some company and playtime! I am always happy to follow each owner’s preferences and routines to make sure their pet feels as comfortable and at home as possible.
About: Animals have always been the center of my world, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to care for just about every kind of pet, from bouncy puppies and cuddly kittens to gentle seniors who just need a little extra patience and love. I also have experience with training and even dog showing, which taught me the importance of consistency, communication, and building trust with every animal. More than anything, I believe every pet deserves kindness, attention, and to feel like part of the family, so when they’re with me, that’s exactly what they’ll get. I am currently working part time and have some extra time to offer my services that i haven’t been able to recently. I only work a few hours mid day so i can take on just about any animals! My pets are already a huge part of my daily life from feeding, training, walking, enrichment etc. I can offer personalized care for each pets specific enrichment needs! I have a fenced in yard with safety latches for as much safety as possible. I live in a safe calm neighborhood with amazing neighbors.My whole house is designed around animals. We have a specific dog room and a cat room with safety gates etc to keep pets separate if needed and we have multiple wire kennels. We also have car kennels for safe traveling to any activities your pets would like!
About: Hi! I’m Maddie, a lifelong animal lover and proud Golden Retriever mom. I’ve raised my Golden giving me hands-on experience with daily care, training, exercise, and lots of love. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours like my own by providing reliable, attentive care, plenty of affection, and updates while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members! 🐾❤️ I am currently on break from Respiratory Therapy school, and I have plenty of free time during the week. My golden is very active so I’m always prioritizing getting home to play with my baby! I know how hard it is to find help being busy, so while I have time I want to be that person for others! I have a fenced in backyard with a very friendly Golden who would love play dates! If you would rather me come to your house, I love taking long walks and am very used to playing with toys in the house to try to burn all of that energy! I will give your pup the same attention I give my own❤️
About: I have been taking care of dogs and animals since I was a child. At just 11 years old, I got my very own dog and have taken care of her by myself for the past 7 years. I trained her as a puppy to be potty trained, be obedient, and to do over a dozen tricks. I have worked with Rover for about a year and have loved each experience. I have also dog sat for friends and neighbors numerous amounts of times, and have enjoyed every one of them :) I am currently enrolled in online courses for school and have the ability to create my own schedule based on when your fur baby needs assistance. I have a very flexible schedule and can be available any time of the day. I will follow a strict schedule for your pup if needed. This will include providing food and water, regular exercise, playtime, and ensuring a safe environment surrounding your baby. I can take them on long walks and can handle a strong dog on a leash.

“Michelle was able to take on our last minute booking and was very helpful and responsive to our requests. She took great care of our pups. I would definitely recommend her services”
About: I’m calm, reliable, and great with all types of pets. I pay attention to the little things such as routines, comfort, and making sure every visit feels like home. I’m transitioning out of my full-time job, which means I finally have the flexibility to focus on something I truly enjoy like spending time with animals! Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I love filling my days with walks, playtime, and furry company. Pets in my home get treated like family! I have a large fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for safe playtime and plenty of room to run. I currently have one sweet boy named max and a long-hair chihuahua on the way. I’ve also cared for birds like cockatoos, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals.
About: I've had the pleasure of owning two dogs and one cat throughout my life, and I've grown up around a wide variety of dog and cat breeds. Because of that, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and energy levels. One thing that sets me apart is that my current dog is a show dog. Caring for a show dog has taught me the importance of maintaining a consistent routine, paying close attention to grooming and overall health, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quiet day of cuddles, I'll provide patient, attentive care and treat them as if they were my own. I'm currently in between careers, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your dogs and/or cats. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or last-minute bookings whenever possible. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. Whether your pet needs an energetic play session, a relaxing walk, or just some extra love and attention, I'll make sure they receive the care they deserve. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I make it a priority to stick to it. I'm experienced with crate training, maintaining strict feeding schedules, and accommodating dietary restrictions, as my own dog follows a structured routine. Whether your pet requires medications, extra patience, or specific instructions, I'm happy to follow your care plan exactly as requested. I also have reliable transportation, so I'm happy to take your dog on a field trip to a local park, trail, or other pet-friendly location if you'd like. In both my home and yours, I strive to create a safe, calm, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I'm also flexible and understand that emergencies happen, so I'll do my best to accommodate last-minute changes or unexpected situations whenever possible.
