“Anna has been absolutely amazing very flexible with pick up and drop of times! Sent tons of pictures of my pup and he looks like he’s having a blast! Will definitely use her again for any future trips!!”
“Regan was very accommodating and so sweet to our dog! She was excellent at keeping us informed on how he was doing, and he loved playing with friends during his stay, and having a home full of dog lovers! Will be using again!!”
“Kristen was amazing! We felt we could trust her right away after our meet & greet, and plenty of much-appreciated updates and pictures made us feel Zag was in great hands the whole time we were gone. Was always responsive both leading up to the booking as well as during. It's a stressful situation using Rover for the first time and leaving our beloved pup in a stranger's hands, but we couldn't ask for a safer and happier home to provide for our dog in our absence..”
“Lauren is GREAT! Very loving and patient with an older dog who has not been boarded overnight very often. Easily socializes new dog into her rescue animals and works well as a pack leader. Gives tons of love to all animals in her care. Would be top on the list if needed boarding service again! Thank you Loren (and Sidney)!”
“Tyler has been my favorite sitter so far! I moved and wish I could still have him watch my pup. He was always so accommodating and attentive, sending pictures and video. He even bought River a Christmas toy. If you havent booked Tyler, you should!”
“She was great with Penny! Friendly and understanding, she took care of Penny as if it was her own pup! She checked in with me and sent pictures of Penny. It was such a relief to have Penny in a calm place while I was on vacation I will absolutely use her again!”
“We have been using rover for years now and we must say, Thank You so much for taking care of our Baby. You are the best. He has come back home, trimmed, bathed fed and loved. From the photos that were sent to when he came back home, We can tell he was having a great retreat. Bobbi is awesome ? and will definitely use her services again in the near future. Thanks again for being so great with my difficult baby..”
About: If your pup is ready to fetch a ball, go for a walk or lounge around and watch tv, I’ll be ready to accommodate any needs. I prefer to care for fewer pets (one or two) per day and also while boarding, that way, I can give more individual attention to your pup. I have a 6 year old Golden Retriever named Charlie who would love to show your pup around our large fenced in yard that offers a safe and fun place to play and explore.
“I appreciated that Sawsan was willing to board our Welsh Corgi during the 2024 Christmas - New Year holidays. She is very experienced in caring for dogs and is straightforward about her house rules. Sawsan's residence is conveniently located in old Mandeville which makes dog walking pleasant. Additionally, she kept us updated daily and quickly responded to any message that I sent her. We love our small Welsh Corgi but unfortunately, he doesn't get many opportunities to interact a lot with other dogs. So while he was boarded, he got a chance to play with two or three other dogs in Sawsan's large clean backyard. He had such a good time playing with the other dogs, that it became a small burden for Sawsan to make him less tranquil at times. Sawsan was professional about this matter by not informing me immediately until we picked up our dog to avoid me stressing out while we were out of town. Thank you Sawsan. Nonetheless, I am grateful that Sawsan opened her doors for our dog and I highly recommend her to anyone wishing to use her services for sitting or boarding.”
“Marisa did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs whole I was away. She gave me updates and even sent pictures of them to me when I missed them. Will definitely use her whenever I go out of town again!!!”
“Brittany was wonderful with my dog! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt confident she was in great hands. Brittany kept in touch with updates and photos, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious she received lots of love and attention during her stay. Brittany was kind, reliable, and treated my dog like family. I’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”

About: I’ve always believed pets have a lot to say—you just have to know how to listen! 🐾 I’m great with puppies and can help with potty training, routines, and all those adorable (and sometimes mischievous!) puppy moments. I’m also really good at reading pet body language and picking up on subtle signs of stress, anxiety, or resource guarding, which helps me keep everyone happy, comfortable, and safe. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets too, including giving oral medications, topical treatments. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a couch-loving senior, or somewhere in between, I’ll give them plenty of love, patience, attention, and belly rubs along the way! ❤️🐶 I’m an early riser and a stay-at-home mom, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. 🐾 I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, and plenty of cuddles. I love starting my mornings with the pups and making sure they get the care, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. My schedule also allows me to be flexible with drop-ins and accommodate your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. ❤️🐶🐱 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! 🐾 I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and cuddles. For in-home visits, I respect your home and your pet’s routine—following feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I’m also attentive to body language and behavior, so I can recognize when a pet is nervous, stressed, or needs a little extra space. My goal is simple: you should feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱

“Kayla on short notice agreed to look after my 2 large girls after a short meet & greet. She wanted to genuinely make sure her care was good fit. Prior to watching the dogs she asked a lot of good questions which pointed to her experience and thoughtfulness. Both of my girls enjoyed time with her and Kayla delivered as promised. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a "dog lover" looking after their babies!”
“Alyssa was very communicative with us and our cat loved her! She was on time with feedings and medications. She is clearly very responsible and good with animals. Would hire again!”
About: I’ve worked at a homeless animal shelter for 10 years and owned my own animals my whole life. I’ve handled every kind of animal under the sun! And can’t wait to love your pet like they are my own!
About: Cute storyyy: I was on the back road home in Bush and happen to see something very tiny, but also a huge lifted truck that hurried and stopped. I didn’t know what it was. I just know it was tiny and seemed like it didn’t know what to do or where to go so I saved it. Poor baby, it was a black kitten with a white cross on her chest, and her eyes weren’t opened yet. I don’t think she even knew what she was because next thing you know she’s on my shoulder, the smallest little parrot ever! Well Nova is what I had named her, and I can say I’m beyond thankful for our family friend that took her in, spoiling her, and giving her not just an amazing home but the best older fur sibling and family! Nova is definitely something special!💜
About: Whether it was taking care of my childhood cat, roommate's' cats, or getting paid to hang with one for a friend or a stranger, I am a lover and friend to all cats I meet. I know how to interact with all types of cat personalities and will give your little bestie(s) calm and loving attention while you're away.
About: I've been a dog and cat mother for most of my life. I've cared for other animals for sometimes weeks at a time with no injuries! You can trust me with your most loved family members and with your home if needed. I can be available as needed by your pet. I am not currently working. I am happy to drive up to 60 miles each way. I would appreciate an additional gas allowance. If I keep your animal in my home, you should know that I have a Rottweiler. She is very friendly and loves other animals, but she's never been exposed to an aggressive animal. I have a cat who does not like other animals, but I will have no problems keeping her separate from your animal. I have a fenced in backyard and I enjoy walking over 10,000 steps a day so your animal has options for exercise with me.
“Kristin took wonderful care of our pets when we had to go out of town at the last minute. She went above and beyond for us - we will definitely use her again in the future! We would also recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter!”
About: Since I was five we’ve had cats. My first cat was a mean black tux named binx. I loved him with a passion and he’s now resting after about 14 years. Today I live with my three angels biscuit,peanut, and jam. They’re six I got them around 4-6 months old and they’re the sweetest. I always wonder why but not to sound shameless I think they’re so loving bc I raised them with love.
“Loralei took good care of my two senior dogs for an extended weekend. She followed the detailed instructions I left and kept me updated after each visit. It was my first-time using a dogsitter who wasn’t a friend or family. So I really appreciated how friendly and patient Loralei was with both me and the dogs. I will definitely reach out to her if I need a dogsitter in the future.”

“I cannot begin to say enough wonderful things about Sawsan. My family was visiting mandeville with our golden pup and did not want her left alone at our Airbnb while we went out exploring. Sawsan took Nala for daycare and she had an absolute blast! Sawsan is absolutely delightful and took amazing care of our girl. I highly recommend leaving your babies with her, you will not be disappointed!”
About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.

“I was nervous to leave my quirky dogs with a stranger, but Tyler quickly put my pets and me at ease. He took the dogs on a walk early on, to make them feel at home. He has a large, secure backyard, that the dogs loved. He let the pets be part of his day and provided good feedback about the pups. Thanks Tyler!”

“Amber was truly the best person to leave my sweet puppy with for the day! She kept me updated through text with pictures and videos throughout his entire stay, she invited me in when we arrived to give me the assurance of knowing where he would be for the day. Her home was very clean, tidy, and she was inviting to make me more comfortable. My anxiety about leaving him for the day was immediately relieved. Do not hesitate to let her care for your pets!!”

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!
About: I love animals and have had pets since I was a little girl! I have a mini golden doodle and a border collie mix now. They are my best friends. I’d love to meet and hang out with your pets and love on them like their my own!🐶 I work 2-3 days a week. But only for 5-6 hours a day. I can be free from work if needed to watch your pet!

I also have a walking trail close by that I take my dogs on regularly. I have a doggy door that your dogs can go in and out as well.
About: I’ve had my family dog, Princess, a Pomeranian-Papillon mix, since I was four years old. I was the one who named her, and she’s been my best friend ever since. I’ve cared for her through every stage of her life, from a playful puppy to now as a senior dog, so I understand that pets have different needs as they get older. Senior pets have a special place in my heart, and I’m always happy to give them the extra patience and love they deserve. As a college student, I’m home during school breaks, which means I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to dedicate to your pet. I’m also available during holiday breaks! During the academic year, though, I’ll be inactive while I’m away at college, so I only accept bookings when I’m home. I usually only take one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so they’ll get lots of one-on-one care and won’t have to compete for attention. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, and I ask that owners provide their pet’s food, medications (if needed), favorite toys, and any other essentials. If I’m caring for a cat, I’ll also need their litter box, litter, and other supplies. Communication is really important to me. I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates, and if you’re missing your pet, I’m even happy to FaceTime so you can check in. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart.

I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I share my home with my senior dog, Princess. She’s older, independent, and usually keeps to herself, but I’ll always make thoughtful introductions and make sure everyone is comfortable. I only accept one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so I can give them my full attention and closely monitor their interactions. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I’ll always make sure water is fresh, the environment is clean, and your pet feels safe and comfortable. If I ever notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away so you can have peace of mind.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love and lifelong experience with animals. I grew up in a pet-friendly home where caring for animals was part of everyday life, so I understand the patience, attention, and compassion they need. I’ve also sheltered and cared for pets until they were ready to find their forever homes, giving me experience with animals of different ages, personalities, and needs. I currently work part-time so I have a lot of time and space for pet sitting! I’m available throughout the week & weekends as well. I provide a clean, safe, and cozy home where my pets can feel comfortable and cared for. From soft, comfortable bedding and a welcoming environment to engaging playtime and fun-filled activities, I make sure every pets receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away.
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.

She is very friendly and loves other animals, but she's never been exposed to an aggressive animal. I have a cat who does not like other animals, but I will have no problems keeping her separate from your animal. I have a fenced in backyard and I enjoy walking over 10,000 steps a day so your animal has options for exercise with me.
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!
About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.
About: I’ve been taking care of my animals and others’ animals from a young age. I have a range of experience- with puppies and kittens, administering medication, unique personalities, special needs, and more. Whether its a high energy dog or a nervous and shy cat or anything in between, I have seen it all! I am flexible and willing to help in any way I can! Currently not boarding at the moment since I am moving into a new space soon. I can go home for lunch during the week and am free all evenings and weekends. Since I am in the process of moving to a new space, I am not boarding at the moment. I am usually available for boarding on weeknights after 4p and full days on the weekends. Your pet is my priority whether I am at your place or mine. When staying at your place, I will always try to leave it neater than when I came across it. Whether its replacing batteries in your ring camera or letting the service man come in, I am available to help you in anyway you need when something unexpected occurs while you're out. Any animals staying at my home are made to feel comfortable and safe; my home becomes their home!
About: I love animals and have had pets since I was a little girl! I have a mini golden doodle and a border collie mix now. They are my best friends. I’d love to meet and hang out with your pets and love on them like their my own!🐶 I work 2-3 days a week. But only for 5-6 hours a day. I can be free from work if needed to watch your pet! I have a fenced in yard and have a back yard to let your dogs run free. I have plenty of toys to play with and lots of love to give! I also have a walking trail close by that I take my dogs on regularly. I have a doggy door that your dogs can go in and out as well.
About: I’ve always adored pets since I was young. I’ve had many in my life from cats,dogs,and rodents. I know animals are equal beings that need treatment with special accommodations. This requires patience which is almost unlimited for me.i currently have three cats that I’ve owned since they were 3-4 months old they’re now 6. I just got rats a few weeks ago they’re girls 6-8 months old. I believe everything follows a routine dedicated to them and I have no issue aligning myself to these routines. I’m still finishing high school at the moment and I have a job. But besides managing those I’m available weekdays after 4 if I’m not scheduled to work, weekends any time I keep my babies inside as much as possible. They’re allowed to free roam outside since they’re used to that lifestyle from before. They wear flee collars, jam is allergic. I cleanse them with daily grooming and anima safe wipes or soap if necessary. They’re fed 2-3 a day with half a cup or less of cat food I do plan to change their diets eventually. When it comes to other people’s pets I treat them with nothing but love and care and always stay considerate of whatever the owner says I should know about that animal. I’m extremely against cruelty brand products so I will avoid associating or using them.

“Anna has been absolutely amazing very flexible with pick up and drop of times! Sent tons of pictures of my pup and he looks like he’s having a blast! Will definitely use her again for any future trips!!”
“Regan was very accommodating and so sweet to our dog! She was excellent at keeping us informed on how he was doing, and he loved playing with friends during his stay, and having a home full of dog lovers! Will be using again!!”
“Kristen was amazing! We felt we could trust her right away after our meet & greet, and plenty of much-appreciated updates and pictures made us feel Zag was in great hands the whole time we were gone. Was always responsive both leading up to the booking as well as during. It's a stressful situation using Rover for the first time and leaving our beloved pup in a stranger's hands, but we couldn't ask for a safer and happier home to provide for our dog in our absence..”
“Lauren is GREAT! Very loving and patient with an older dog who has not been boarded overnight very often. Easily socializes new dog into her rescue animals and works well as a pack leader. Gives tons of love to all animals in her care. Would be top on the list if needed boarding service again! Thank you Loren (and Sidney)!”
“Tyler has been my favorite sitter so far! I moved and wish I could still have him watch my pup. He was always so accommodating and attentive, sending pictures and video. He even bought River a Christmas toy. If you havent booked Tyler, you should!”
“She was great with Penny! Friendly and understanding, she took care of Penny as if it was her own pup! She checked in with me and sent pictures of Penny. It was such a relief to have Penny in a calm place while I was on vacation I will absolutely use her again!”
“We have been using rover for years now and we must say, Thank You so much for taking care of our Baby. You are the best. He has come back home, trimmed, bathed fed and loved. From the photos that were sent to when he came back home, We can tell he was having a great retreat. Bobbi is awesome ? and will definitely use her services again in the near future. Thanks again for being so great with my difficult baby..”
About: If your pup is ready to fetch a ball, go for a walk or lounge around and watch tv, I’ll be ready to accommodate any needs. I prefer to care for fewer pets (one or two) per day and also while boarding, that way, I can give more individual attention to your pup. I have a 6 year old Golden Retriever named Charlie who would love to show your pup around our large fenced in yard that offers a safe and fun place to play and explore.
“I appreciated that Sawsan was willing to board our Welsh Corgi during the 2024 Christmas - New Year holidays. She is very experienced in caring for dogs and is straightforward about her house rules. Sawsan's residence is conveniently located in old Mandeville which makes dog walking pleasant. Additionally, she kept us updated daily and quickly responded to any message that I sent her. We love our small Welsh Corgi but unfortunately, he doesn't get many opportunities to interact a lot with other dogs. So while he was boarded, he got a chance to play with two or three other dogs in Sawsan's large clean backyard. He had such a good time playing with the other dogs, that it became a small burden for Sawsan to make him less tranquil at times. Sawsan was professional about this matter by not informing me immediately until we picked up our dog to avoid me stressing out while we were out of town. Thank you Sawsan. Nonetheless, I am grateful that Sawsan opened her doors for our dog and I highly recommend her to anyone wishing to use her services for sitting or boarding.”
“Marisa did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs whole I was away. She gave me updates and even sent pictures of them to me when I missed them. Will definitely use her whenever I go out of town again!!!”
“Brittany was wonderful with my dog! From the moment I dropped her off, I felt confident she was in great hands. Brittany kept in touch with updates and photos, which made the whole experience easy and stress-free. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious she received lots of love and attention during her stay. Brittany was kind, reliable, and treated my dog like family. I’d happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”

I’ve worked everything from shelter, boarding facility and now currently at a specialty hospital for the past 7 years, 5 of those years working as a tech in the surgery department. I have seen it all and very comfortable around all type of dogs. From the shy to the goofball I can handle them all. In the home lives 2 rescue pitties, a cat, and 3 kids.

I accommodate all stays and visits to what makes you and your pet most comfortable!
About: I’ve always believed pets have a lot to say—you just have to know how to listen! 🐾 I’m great with puppies and can help with potty training, routines, and all those adorable (and sometimes mischievous!) puppy moments. I’m also really good at reading pet body language and picking up on subtle signs of stress, anxiety, or resource guarding, which helps me keep everyone happy, comfortable, and safe. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets too, including giving oral medications, topical treatments. Whether your pet is a playful puppy, a couch-loving senior, or somewhere in between, I’ll give them plenty of love, patience, attention, and belly rubs along the way! ❤️🐶 I’m an early riser and a stay-at-home mom, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. 🐾 I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, and plenty of cuddles. I love starting my mornings with the pups and making sure they get the care, exercise, and companionship they need while you’re away. My schedule also allows me to be flexible with drop-ins and accommodate your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. ❤️🐶🐱 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! 🐾 I treat every pet like they’re part of the family and take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and individual needs. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, and cuddles. For in-home visits, I respect your home and your pet’s routine—following feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications, and any special instructions you provide. I’m also attentive to body language and behavior, so I can recognize when a pet is nervous, stressed, or needs a little extra space. My goal is simple: you should feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️🐶🐱

I regularly care for my sisters dog and 2 cats while she is out of town, maintaining their normal routines and care. I live in a condo in Mandeville which means I have become extremely familiar with the dog parks, walking trails, dog friendly nature areas and state parks. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I treat every animal as if they are my own while providing photo and text updates so you can feel confident while you’re away!😊 Currently I am the office manager for a primary care clinic in Covington, M-F I am available before work, on my lunch break, and after work for drop ins or dog walking. My weekends are always changing and very flexible. I like caring for pets in their own home because that is where they feel most comfortable, following their normal routine and offering attention and companionship. On walks, I focus on your pets safety, energy level, and making sure they are well hydrated.
“Kimberly took great care of Mia. It was her first stay with her and she did a great job of making Mia feel very comfortable and relaxed. Kimberly asked great questions about Mia’s normal routines and eating habits and made sure to keep them consistent. I will definitely use Kimberly again.”
