“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! One of my dogs got a small injury when dropping off and she was quick to jump into action and take care of it!! She kept me updated with daily pictures throughout their stay. 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 immediately responded to my request to watch him and it was also last minute. We greatly appreciated her help! She sent pictures and updated us on how he was doing! Our dog was in good hands!!”
“Holly was absolutely fantastic. I felt incredibly comfortable leaving my pup with her. This was the first time I used Rover and the first time my dog had been away from home for any extended period of time. Holly was extremely professional and kept me updated every day on how she was doing. I will definitely be using Holly again.”
“Regan was absolutely amazing with Archer. He is a senior Dachshund and can be a little unsure in new places, but she went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable and cared for during his very first overnight stay. She was patient, gentile and very attentive to his needs. It’s such a relief to find someone who understands and loves older pups. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and all the pictures she sent during his stay.”
“What a fantastic family!!! I am so grateful we found Brittnee to care for our babies at the last minute. They were so well taken care of and I can’t thank her enough ❤️ It made our trip so relaxed knowing my babies were having a great time themselves. Thank you!!!!”
“Oh my goodness words can't describe how grateful I am for Amy. I love how she took care of my baby like he was her own. I received pictures and updates several times a day. If you are in the area and need a sitter for your baby please contact her. I don't want to share her because she is so INCREDIBLE but I will lol.”
“Marisa was great! She sent a lot of pictures and videos. Nyla had a blast playing with the other dogs outside in the fenced in yard and inside as well. 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!”
“Anna was the perfect person to care for our girls. Puppies are hard. Two puppies are even harder but she Rocked it. I wrote instructions for her and she followed them to the ‘T’ even using our ‘command words’. She even set in the floor cuddling them during a storm to calm her fears I will definitely use her again.”
“First time using rover and first time leaving our girl with anybody and could not have asked for a better experience! Kristin was great, kept us updated, treated our girl like she was her own! To be honest she spoiled her more than we do 🤣”
“This was he first time I used Rover. I was in town for a family event and very happy to have found Kirsten. As far as I'm concerned she set the standard for what I will be looking for when I use Rover in the future. I can sum up my feelings by what she said to me. "I treat guest doggies the way I want someone to take care of my own". She sent photos and text messages to let let me know all was well. I may never get back to Covington but if I did I would definitely book with Kirsten.”
About: I’m the 38 year mother of a 2 year old Dachshund and a 9 year old boy. We are a family of animal lovers and always love to have friends over! I spend a lot of time outside. The yard is not fenced in, but I’m at the end of a long and quiet road, nestled between the cul-de-sac and the woods. There are some neighborhood dogs and cats who wander around, visiting neighbor homes, and generally living their best life. I am working from home and have an extremely flexible schedule, so any visiting animals will get lots of attention and walks. The house has lots of dog toys strewn about. We are always having fun here. I have an unfenced yard, but we’re at the end of a quiet road on a cul-de-sac with woods surrounding. Small dogs will have access to the doggy door throughout the day. In addition to my dachshund August, there are many neighborhood dogs who wander and like to play together.
“GREAT SERVICE !!! this was my first time leaving my baby and se made me feel really relieved and comfortable with my decision . The communication and pictures were constant . I can’t thank her enough . She took really good care of Preston. So please don’t hesitate to book with her !!! Will def book in the future ❤️”
“Darcy took such great care of our 110 pound St Bernard mix. She sent pictures and updates frequently, she offered to bathe him, and he was happy when we came to pick him up. I accidentally mixed up which date we would return and she was flexible and able to keep him an extra night. I absolutely recommend Darcy and would rebook with her.”
“Courtney was wonderful and took such good care of our dog. She sent pictures daily and really cares about the animals she cares for!! We will use her again in the future!”
“Sawsan is a wonderful dog sitter. I have great peace of mind leaving our puppy overnight with her because she gets to socialize with other dogs and Sawsan is always there to watch over everyone. Sawsan is responsible, sends a daily photo or video of our puppy's stay and clearly loves the dogs in her care. I highly recommend Sawsan.”
“Taylor was great with our dog Patches who is sometimes leery of new people. Patches has come home from boarding stressed to the point of being sick before, so much so, that we took him with us on our last two trips. We couldn't find a pet friendly place to stay this time, though, so we decided to give Rover a try. We are so glad we did. When we got him back he was his happy normal self this time around. Taylor took Patches for daily walks, and he got along well with her golden retriever. We will definitely board Patches with Taylor again when we may be unable to find pet friendly accommodations in the future.”

“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!”
“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: Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve spent years caring for dogs and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I treat every pet with patience, kindness, and the same attention I’d give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, my goal is to provide dependable care and peace of mind for every family I work with.
About: I never had a cat as a child but had always wished to have one someday. I spent two years working for Crossroads Animal Hospital where I was able to interact with many cats for boarding, shots, and nail trims. I gained experience working with cats at a wide range of ages, coat textures, personalities and needs and have experience administering medication. Also great news I have two cats of my own now! My husband and I adopted two brothers from Cat Haven that have FIV so I am learning even more about cat health!
“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: 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!
About: I’ve always had animals, and naturally fell into helping others take care of their own. My experience with reactive dogs has also shown me how, despite seeming scary at first, they deserve the same love and care as any other furry friend. I work Monday-Thursday, and can dedicate 3 full days Friday-Sunday to taking care of pets. Im an early riser, and am happy to take a job any time between 5 AM and 7 PM. I realize letting a stranger into your home to care for your pet requires a lot of trust. I like to establish your ground rules and have an open line of communication with pet parents.
About: I enjoy watching the dogs play and enjoy spending time with them, I have had multiple cats & dogs at home on multiple occasions including holidays. I’m a retired and stay home a lot and enjoy helping others out with their fur babies.Love to be able to cuddle with all fur babies.

“This was our first time leaving our dog with Sawsan and he clearly had a great time! Sawsan sent us pictures and videos throughout the day, which helped us feel so at ease. It was also really easy to schedule day care with Sawsan, she was flexible and very responsive. We’re now planning on boarding our dog with Sawsan very soon as we go on holidays.”
“Victoria was very sweet and responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her for the day. Thank you for all of the updates! They helped us remain at ease :) Thank you again for keeping Quinn safe and letting her run around in your backyard!”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals. I’ve cared for my families dogs as a child, and my own dogs when I got older with the addition of my daughters dog. I’ve always had a mutual connection with them and cared for them like my own children. I’m all about enriching the lives of pets and their families by providing excellent pet care, peace of mind, trust and security. Nurturing the inseparable bond between a person and their 'furbaby' by enriching their relationship with love. I have a pretty open availability schedule and will try to accommodate your requests to the best of my ability depending on timing and distance. I currently do not have any dogs at my house, so they can enjoy all my attention and playtime. I also have a nice backyard that they can play and run around in. When doing a dog service at the pets home I like to get familiar with them so they can feel comfortable and be their usual sweet selves!
“Nolvia did an amazing job taking care of my two doggies. She made sure they were fed, cared for, and given lots of attention and love. My dogs were happy, comfortable, and clearly had a great time with her. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Nolvia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! 🐶💕”
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.

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: 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.

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’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.

I’ve been trusted continuously year after year by my friends, family, and neighbors as well as other to take care of their babies and ensure they feel loved! I have lived with dogs all my life and u destined how to care for dogs of all ages no matter is they are senior in need of extra care or puppies with lots of energy! I currently work part time which leaves me a lot of time to spend with your babies no matter the time of day! I usually work no longer than 5 hours a day!

About: All the Doggies sleep with me in my bed! They are allowed on furniture & anywhere they’d like to be comfortable. I worked for Companion Animal alliance in Baton Rouge working with dogs & cats as a caretaker. I mobile groom for people around the Livingston parish area & I’m well known on the nextdoor app. I have a bunch of references! I am very passionate about your fur babies & one day will open up my own business building for grooming/boarding & as new clients you would be adding to my fund for that. It has been my life long dream to accomplish this one day & I am going to keep working towards that. I want to expand this business into something much bigger & for people to feel at ease with leaving your babies in the care of someone who will love them unconditionally. All you have to bring for your baby is their dog food/cat food. I have dog/cat bowls, leashes, toys, puppy pads, litter boxes, litter, cat toys, cat/dog beds, ( I supply dog treats ) I do not put the babies in kennels unless instructed to do so by you if you bring your own. At bed time I put on relaxing music for the dogs to calm down & sleep, heating pads for cold nights, lots of blankets & beds. Any of their comfort items I would suggest bring with them. I do live in a new trailer, lots of room for your babies to roam & play! non smoker. I have experience with large dogs to small dogs, senior dogs & ones with bad anxiety or kennel aggressive ect. I also have experience with birds, especially parrots. I know how to handle in any situation when it comes to different behaviors from animals. I am also pit bull friendly 💕 The babies I board/doggy daycare have FREE ROAM. Which means they can go as they please anywhere in my home, they can sleep with me or they can sleep on the couches or their beds, but If you prefer your baby in a kennel at night, I will respect your wishes. I only have one kennel designated just for that.. You will receive lots of pictures/videos & updates to the point where it may be a little annoying but you’ll never have to text me first checking on them. I give them lots of love! I stay home everyday with the babies, so they will get all of the attention they need. The night before pick up/drop offs, I do give them a bath, each one no matter what. I can pick your dog up or drop them off, I have never had an issues with any dogs fighting, running off or accidents. I am VERY experienced in RUNNERS, the ones who wait for you to open the door to escape. Never had a runner succeed in getting away. I can clip your babies nails & give them a little trim if need be free of charge. If your dog needs medication I can administer it to them at the times needed. Prozac, prednisone, insulin, antibiotics ect, I’m familiar with all. Thank you for taking the time to read this & hopefully you have found the right sitter for your baby/babies. 🐶 I bring the babies to the dog park twice a week along with water treats & toys. I can manage 5 at a time ( leashed ) I do have a fenced in yard with a doggy pool, it’s covered & has pet turf. Lots of room for your baby to play!! This is what I do for a living! I eat breathe & sleep doggies. I stay home full time & when I say full time it’s me & the pups home everyday. I LOVE & taking care of your 4 legged sweetie pies, when you book with me it will allow me to continue to care for the fur babies & accomplish my life long dream to open up a bigger place to care for more. 💕 I truly appreciate repeat customers, but with inflation the way that it is, the cost of gas being so high, I had to make the difficult decision to raise my prices up to $2 more since last year. I understand if you choose to look elsewhere for services, but I hope that you choose to continue to use me. & for new clients ❤️ I have a small male dachshund that gets along with animals & kids very well! I am 100% committed to your pets to make them & you comfortable with my services. I treat my clients babies just like I would my baby!

“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! One of my dogs got a small injury when dropping off and she was quick to jump into action and take care of it!! She kept me updated with daily pictures throughout their stay. 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 immediately responded to my request to watch him and it was also last minute. We greatly appreciated her help! She sent pictures and updated us on how he was doing! Our dog was in good hands!!”
“Holly was absolutely fantastic. I felt incredibly comfortable leaving my pup with her. This was the first time I used Rover and the first time my dog had been away from home for any extended period of time. Holly was extremely professional and kept me updated every day on how she was doing. I will definitely be using Holly again.”
“Regan was absolutely amazing with Archer. He is a senior Dachshund and can be a little unsure in new places, but she went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable and cared for during his very first overnight stay. She was patient, gentile and very attentive to his needs. It’s such a relief to find someone who understands and loves older pups. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and all the pictures she sent during his stay.”
“Marisa was great! She sent a lot of pictures and videos. Nyla had a blast playing with the other dogs outside in the fenced in yard and inside as well. 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!”
“First time using rover and first time leaving our girl with anybody and could not have asked for a better experience! Kristin was great, kept us updated, treated our girl like she was her own! To be honest she spoiled her more than we do 🤣”
“This was he first time I used Rover. I was in town for a family event and very happy to have found Kirsten. As far as I'm concerned she set the standard for what I will be looking for when I use Rover in the future. I can sum up my feelings by what she said to me. "I treat guest doggies the way I want someone to take care of my own". She sent photos and text messages to let let me know all was well. I may never get back to Covington but if I did I would definitely book with Kirsten.”
About: I’m the 38 year mother of a 2 year old Dachshund and a 9 year old boy. We are a family of animal lovers and always love to have friends over! I spend a lot of time outside. The yard is not fenced in, but I’m at the end of a long and quiet road, nestled between the cul-de-sac and the woods. There are some neighborhood dogs and cats who wander around, visiting neighbor homes, and generally living their best life. I am working from home and have an extremely flexible schedule, so any visiting animals will get lots of attention and walks. The house has lots of dog toys strewn about. We are always having fun here. I have an unfenced yard, but we’re at the end of a quiet road on a cul-de-sac with woods surrounding. Small dogs will have access to the doggy door throughout the day. In addition to my dachshund August, there are many neighborhood dogs who wander and like to play together.
“Darcy took such great care of our 110 pound St Bernard mix. She sent pictures and updates frequently, she offered to bathe him, and he was happy when we came to pick him up. I accidentally mixed up which date we would return and she was flexible and able to keep him an extra night. I absolutely recommend Darcy and would rebook with her.”
“Courtney was wonderful and took such good care of our dog. She sent pictures daily and really cares about the animals she cares for!! We will use her again in the future!”
“Sawsan is a wonderful dog sitter. I have great peace of mind leaving our puppy overnight with her because she gets to socialize with other dogs and Sawsan is always there to watch over everyone. Sawsan is responsible, sends a daily photo or video of our puppy's stay and clearly loves the dogs in her care. I highly recommend Sawsan.”
“Taylor was great with our dog Patches who is sometimes leery of new people. Patches has come home from boarding stressed to the point of being sick before, so much so, that we took him with us on our last two trips. We couldn't find a pet friendly place to stay this time, though, so we decided to give Rover a try. We are so glad we did. When we got him back he was his happy normal self this time around. Taylor took Patches for daily walks, and he got along well with her golden retriever. We will definitely board Patches with Taylor again when we may be unable to find pet friendly accommodations in the future.”
“Kelbie was fantastic! She picked up and dropped off Zummo, sent regular picture updates, and made sure he felt right at home. He came back happy and relaxed, and it was clear her whole family loved having him. I’ll definitely be booking with Kelbie again!”
“Brittany was outstanding watching my pup, Abby. I got regular updates, pics, and videos of her daily activities. Abby had such a good time she didn't want to leave. I highly recommend Brittany!!!”
