“Lauren and her wife were fantastic! My pet looked so happy in every picture they send me, and when I picked her up, she was not stressed at all! They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and I am very thankful for how they treated my pup! If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and sweet to take care of your fur baby, stop and book Lauren, you won’t regret it!”
“Bobbi is a wonderful young lady and she and her mother took great care of my senior dog. She is knowledgable about separation anxiety and made sure to keep my old baby calm. She texted me daily with a photo and updates. This greatly helped my separation anxiety.😊 I would recommend Bobbi to anyone that needs to board their dog.”
“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.”
“This was our second time using Tyler to watch our boy, and he was fantastic yet again. Tyler treats our Archer so well, including 1-2 walks per day, administering oral meds and plenty of amazing pics/communication. Most definitely recommend!”
“Courtney and Don took wonderful care of our girl, Luna. Courtney’s communication before and during our dog’s stay made us comfortable that we had made a good choice.”
“Sawsan was fantastic, would definitely use her again and recommend her to friends in the area. She was responsive and sent daily videos and photos of Quinn. Quinn came back to us happy, tired and her normal self. I'd give Sawsan 6 stars if I could!”
“Just the best! Kirsten is so great with taking care of my dog and keeping me up to date on everything. I swear my dog didn't even want to come home with me he was so happy there!”
“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.”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have now centered my life around animal care! I currently am going to school for my RVT and am also working in the clinic at our Parish animal shelter. Because of this, I am well versed in most domesticated animal care, am comfortable with special needs/ill pets, and never mind a challenge! I Young-old, excited-skittish, wet-dry, all need care, and I'm excited to help you! No task is too messy or difficult, no guideline is too silly! My husband is very familiar with pet care as well, and he supplements where i cannot be! I am currently working full time from 8-4:30. I am able to handle early morning and evening obligations. Depending on your location, I am also able to do lunch time drop ins! Most of my weekends are open, though I am unavailable about 1 weekend out of the month for work, these weekends follow my weekday availability. My husband supplements any working weekends, and most times in which i am not home! Every animal is different, every animal has their quirks and personality! I am easily adaptable to your pets needs in home and outside. My goal is to make visits and transitions as seamless as possible for your pets; what works for you is what's best for me! WE BOARD MULTIPLE ANIMALS AT A TIME! Sometimes there will be overlap from different households. Please know that we always prioritize safety, are very adaptable with separation and never leave our boarded animals together unattended.
“Very torn on leaving this review, and not for what you may think/assume... Madeline and her family were obviously so sweet to Maggie during her stay...we were nervous as we didn't have any history with this wonderful family... I'm not sure Maggie wanted to leave when we picked her up! We hope to be fortunate enough to have Madeline and her crew keep Maggie when we have a need... Earlier I mentioned my hesitation in leaving a review...I didn't want the secret to get out!!! What a great experience!”
“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!!!”
“Abogail and her family were wonderful with Mushu while I was on vacation! They welcomed him like one of their own, which gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: I enjoy taking care of dogs as I am unable to have a dog of my own due to work travel. I enjoy taking them for walks and runs if they are up for it! I currently travel for work, but home long for stretches to care for your doggie when needed. When I'm home, I'm available the entire day. I have a big front yard and fenced in backyard with a spacious back patio. Lots of room to play and run. If your dog requires a crate, I have the room for that as well.
About: I’ve been very hands on with dogs for years, including raising and caring for my own pitbull, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes especially larger, high energy dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading a dog’s personality and body language. I can also help reinforce basic habits like potty routines, leash manners, and calm behavior for younger dogs. I treat pets like they’re my own and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for instead of just “watching” them. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and adjust to what they need, whether that’s extra playtime, reassurance, structure, or space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m consistent with routines and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I provide a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and always supervise pets during walks, playtime, and interactions with other dogs. I also have a smart camera in my home so I can keep an eye on pets if I step out briefly. For added safety and comfort, pets can be kenneled if needed or preferred by the owner.
“Megan was great with my fur babies….she sent amazing pictures and videos of every interaction with them.. she allowed to feel at home and comfortable…I totally appreciate her and the affection she showed my babies…Mega n is the best thanks so much”

“Cannot say enough great things about Alyssa’s care for Luna while I was away! She sent plenty of pics and vids of my girl for each of her check-ins, and it really helped me feel better being away for several days like I was. Great service! Would definitely book again!”
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: Cats can be particular, and I get that. Having grown up with cats, I understand that they thrive on routine, comfort, and a calm presence. I won't disrupt their space or their rhythm. Whether your cat is social and playful or more on the independent side, I will strive to give them what they need, whether that's interactive playtime or simply quiet company. Your cat will always feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
“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.”
“Caroline was excellent; very dependable! She dropped in on my 2 cats every day for 5 days and it was clear that they loved her. She took many photos of each visit along with a brief status update, which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely book her again in the future! Thanks, Caroline!”
“Kristin is the best cat sitter ever!!! Our cats loved their stay with her so much!! She pampered our babies and treated them so well. Sent videos, pictures, & updates everyday while we were on our trip. I 100% recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again for all future trips.”
“Gwendolyn was great with our animals, and we have a variety of different animals. She was very reliable and we felt comfortable leaving our boys in her hands. We will definitely use her again.”
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!

Red rover, red rover send your puppies and kitties right over! WOOF WOOF!
“Peyton provided drop in visits for my elderly Shar Pei for a 10 day vacation. She is priceless. Lots of communication, photos & videos. Yoda loved her. I am sure many times she spent more than the allotted time living on him. She understood & provided for the needs of a senior dog. I definitely recommend Peyton & will call on her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for 4 years now. I just recently got a baby kitten a month ago. I have family and friends who rely on me at times to feed their furbabies and also play with them.I absolutely love baby kitties and their different personalities.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rio
“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!”
“Sawsan took great care of Maddie! She was super flexible with booking changes and sent frequent updates. She made my nervous pup feel comfortable around the other dogs, and I could tell how much she bonded with her in a few short days. Thank you!”
“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: Hi! I’m a loving mom and lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for our own dog, as well as many others through the years. My family and I treat pets like part of the family—they’ll get plenty of attention, affection, and playtime while you’re away. We’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from energetic puppies to mellow seniors. My kids absolutely adore animals and are gentle, responsible helpers when it comes to giving pets love and companionship. Whether your dog needs long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to hang out with, I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable in a loving home environment. You can rest easy knowing your furry friend is in caring, experienced hands. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available most weekdays during the day and often on weekends as well. Whether your pup needs a midday walk, weekend care, or daytime drop-ins, I’m happy to help! Your dog will feel right at home here!

Our home is single-level, making it easy for dogs of all ages and sizes to move around comfortably. We live in a safe, quiet neighborhood that’s perfect for peaceful walks. If your dog prefers their own space, we also have room for crates and can easily accommodate any special needs or routines.
“It was our first time using Rover and Nicole put me at ease throughout our communications and sent some lovely images throughout the day. Kenny was exhausted when we got him home, which is always a good sign - very happy with our first experience with Rover!”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them goes beyond just “watching dogs” for me! I spent nearly a year working at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, as well as energy levels-from playful 4 month old puppies to sweet senior dogs who just need a little extra patience and care. I grew up around dachshunds and dobermans my whole life, and I now have my own Dalmatian that I rescued from illegal breeding. I understand both high-energy breeds and animals with unique personalities. My experience in pet sitting, dog behavior, proper socialization, and enrichment allows me to provide care that is attentive, structured, and tailored to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, mental stimulation, or simply a calm and restful environment, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for and loved while you are away. As a college student out for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Aside from a job commitment one weekend a month, my availability is open for almost anything-walks, drop-ins, and daycare! Your pets comfort and safety are always my #1 priority. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming home where your dog can feel right at home. I make sure they have both companionship and personal space when needed. I have a room in my home with a tall baby gate dedicated for dogs where they can decompress, and nothing will bother them if they want their own space. I also have a very playful and friendly Dalmatian, Siggy, who loves having company around the house. I will always supervise if Siggy would be around your dog, including a safe and proper introduction of the two dogs and continuously watching them when they would be playing.
About: I have had many professional and personal pet care experiences. I’ve had personal pets like dogs since I was 8. In college I worked as a vet tech and seasonally as a pet care associate at petsmart. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. I am also comfortable with cats, small animals (I’ve had rats and Guinea pigs personally) and reptiles. I currently have 3 cats, a leopard gecko, and a corn snake. I have also fostered dogs and worked on basic obedience with them to get them ready for furever homes. Let me know your needs and I’m sure I’ll be loving your babies like my own in no time! Full-time pet-sitting availability as and I am currently in school! I can walk or drop-in any time needed for you and your pet. I will ask the pet parent for specific details including basics like: feeding details, the pets triggers and behaviors that show they are uncomfortable, approved treats and favorite toys, how they like to play, sleeping details, emergency contacts and vet information, and any other details the pet parent finds relevant. All of these are used to provide the best care for the pet.
About: I’ve been a dog and cat lover for as long as I can remember and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. My goal is to make your furry family member feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live on a spacious half-acre lot in a quiet neighborhood, giving dogs plenty of room to run, explore, and play. My home features a large doggy door, so your pup can easily go outside whenever they want. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, belly rubs, or simply lounging around, they’ll receive plenty of attention and care throughout their stay. I share my home with Jake, my friendly yellow Labrador Retriever. He’s very laid-back, loves other animals, and is happy to welcome new friends. To provide a calm, personalized experience, I only accept one client family at a time. This means your pet won’t have to adjust to a house full of unfamiliar dogs and will receive my full attention. For everyone’s safety, I have young children in the home and can only accept dogs that are friendly and non-aggressive around people and other animals (no pitbulls or pitbull mixes). I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am home most of the week. I also have two kids that are animal lovers. I’m able to adjust to whatever routine your pet is used to. My kids have learned to respect animals’ boundaries. Your pet will be enjoying the comforts of being inside or outside of the house and get lots of attention.

About: I’ve taken care of animals all of my life I’m good at bathing them and following feeding instructions! I love dogs the most and I get along with all of them! I am currently enrolled at Pearl River Community College so pet sitting on weekends or over night works best right now! I love dogs the most and I understand their body language well! I follow to do lists very well. I understand dogs social ques when they are uncomfortable or stressed or when they want outside. I’m good at making sure they are comfortable and I don’t push myself onto them. My family has a lot of dogs so I understand them very well!

About: Pet sitting is more than just showing up. It's about making sure your animal feels safe, loved, and at ease even when you're not there. Growing up, animals were always a huge part of my life, from cats and dogs to guinea pigs and turtles. That early experience gave me a huge love for pets of all kinds. Your fur baby will be in caring, attentive hands. You can travel and go about your day knowing your pet is genuinely looked after, not just watched. I recently moved back home to Louisiana from living in Denver, Colorado for the past 5 years. With my schedule being so open and flexible, pet care fits naturally into my day. I am able to give your pet consistent attention, timely walks, and plenty of quality time without it ever feeling rushed. Safety and trust are two things that I will never compromise on. When I'm in a client's home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would give my own. I want both pets and their owners to feel completely at ease, knowing their home and their animal are in good hands. I take thorough notes on routines, preferences, and any special needs so nothing gets overlooked. I always make sure the environment stays safe, comfortable, and familiar for your pet.
About: I have a love for all animals, as a child growing up I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian Assistant. I began doing foster care for dogs in 2020 after doing this for a while I felt a much greater need to help even more. I began my own dog rescue in 2020. I walk, play, love and care for each animal. I have rescued and rehomed several dogs to safe and loving homes. I treat them as if they were my own. The unbreakable bond between pets and their people is something that will forever warm my heart! I’m currently working part time. I’m available after work and on my off days. Just message me and we can make things work! I’m more than happy to help! I have three fur-babies of my own and they love to run around and play outside, there is 7-acres of land, and the best part is not by any main roads, it’s private. I also walk my dogs or let them play inside with some toys. Depending on your pet and your instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure that your pet and you as well feel comfortable with things. If it’s a client’s home then whatever instructions are given I’ll make sure to go by!
“I was so lucky to find Alyssa, my schedule changed on short notice and she responded immediately to my booking request. We had a call before the visits and my Benny loved her! She did such a great job with my stubborn but very sweet senior pup! I highly recommend her and look forward to future bookings!”
About: I grew up on a farm, had lots of dogs, cats, and all sorts of other animals to care for. As an adult, I’ve had quite a few cats, and I’m the current owner of three small dogs. I am currently working from home. Travel once a month. So I have plenty of time to check on the babies, play with them outside, and give them occasional treats. I have a fenced in yard that is designed for small dogs, a large dog would likely jump over. But it works great for the small dogs, plenty of shade, plenty of grass. And in the house, I have an abundance of pet beds, and blankies.
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: 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: Growing up I have loved animals and wanted to have a career with animals. Rover is just one way I can do that! Growing up I had a multiple animals that were childhood pets that I’ve adored. I am the type of person that will stop a stranger just to say hello to their furry friends! I enjoy dog sitting and meeting so many unique breeds and animals that I can form a bond with the animal and the owners! I love the experiences and becoming someone trustworthy to have as a repeat client! I currently work 4pm-10pm a few days out of the week. I have a bachelors in human sciences. I myself have threes dog and a cat that are all rescues. They are my spoiled little fur babies that get tons of cuddles, kisses, bark box toys, cat scratchers, etc. They love sleeping on the bed with us under the covers, head on pillow Lol! Overall, pet care fits into my daily routine because I feed, walk, and play with my own animals all day and make sure they are loved on and taken care of just as I would do the same for your own! They have tons of toys that are played with, I let them lay in the bed with me or chill on the couch. I feed them every morning and water them frequently. I walk them every 30mins-1 hour. I will also play with them outside etc. they cuddle and get plenty of belly rubs and scratches while I’m near. I am the type of person who loves seeing your pets and will think about them all the time even if I only watched them once! I love bringing them toys and treats! The phrase I have never met a stranger resonates with me in human and animal aspect! I love meeting new people and animals are always a plus! Pet care is always my top priority. I chose to animal sit over my part time job. I want your pets to have the best care possible. If I ever have work I make sure it’s not longer than a few hours. I want your fur babies to always be attended to and taken care of. I have several pets in my own home that are mine. They are kennel trained and leash trained. I don’t keep my dogs locked up nor would I do that to your pets. I treat your pets like my own. I will give them cuddles and kisses and send you tons of pictures.
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.

“Lauren and her wife were fantastic! My pet looked so happy in every picture they send me, and when I picked her up, she was not stressed at all! They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and I am very thankful for how they treated my pup! If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and sweet to take care of your fur baby, stop and book Lauren, you won’t regret it!”
“Bobbi is a wonderful young lady and she and her mother took great care of my senior dog. She is knowledgable about separation anxiety and made sure to keep my old baby calm. She texted me daily with a photo and updates. This greatly helped my separation anxiety.😊 I would recommend Bobbi to anyone that needs to board their dog.”
“This was our second time using Tyler to watch our boy, and he was fantastic yet again. Tyler treats our Archer so well, including 1-2 walks per day, administering oral meds and plenty of amazing pics/communication. Most definitely recommend!”
“Courtney and Don took wonderful care of our girl, Luna. Courtney’s communication before and during our dog’s stay made us comfortable that we had made a good choice.”
“Sawsan was fantastic, would definitely use her again and recommend her to friends in the area. She was responsive and sent daily videos and photos of Quinn. Quinn came back to us happy, tired and her normal self. I'd give Sawsan 6 stars if I could!”
“Just the best! Kirsten is so great with taking care of my dog and keeping me up to date on everything. I swear my dog didn't even want to come home with me he was so happy there!”
“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.”

“Very torn on leaving this review, and not for what you may think/assume... Madeline and her family were obviously so sweet to Maggie during her stay...we were nervous as we didn't have any history with this wonderful family... I'm not sure Maggie wanted to leave when we picked her up! We hope to be fortunate enough to have Madeline and her crew keep Maggie when we have a need... Earlier I mentioned my hesitation in leaving a review...I didn't want the secret to get out!!! What a great experience!”
“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!!!”
“Abogail and her family were wonderful with Mushu while I was on vacation! They welcomed him like one of their own, which gave me so much peace of mind. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: I enjoy taking care of dogs as I am unable to have a dog of my own due to work travel. I enjoy taking them for walks and runs if they are up for it! I currently travel for work, but home long for stretches to care for your doggie when needed. When I'm home, I'm available the entire day. I have a big front yard and fenced in backyard with a spacious back patio. Lots of room to play and run. If your dog requires a crate, I have the room for that as well.
About: I have 20+ years in caring for someone elses loved ones. Growing up, I have always had a dog family member and I absolutely love animals. I’ve never had a day without a pet in my life. I have a spacious fenced in yard, that your pet can run and play. I am home all hours of the day and nigh and can honor any needs your pet requires. Your best friend is my best friend in this house! I am home all day! I am able to follow all routines your pet may have. We can play fetch or snuggle, whichever your furry friend needs! Your pets safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fenced in yard, with plenty of room to play or couches they can lounge on. Whichever they prefer, I have both!
“Danielle was very timely in coming to pick up Nola and returning her as well. She is a lovely, very personable person and very trustworthy. I’m so happy we found each other! I’ll definitely be using her in the future.”
About: I’ve been very hands on with dogs for years, including raising and caring for my own pitbull, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes especially larger, high energy dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading a dog’s personality and body language. I can also help reinforce basic habits like potty routines, leash manners, and calm behavior for younger dogs. I treat pets like they’re my own and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for instead of just “watching” them. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and adjust to what they need, whether that’s extra playtime, reassurance, structure, or space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m consistent with routines and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I provide a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and always supervise pets during walks, playtime, and interactions with other dogs. I also have a smart camera in my home so I can keep an eye on pets if I step out briefly. For added safety and comfort, pets can be kenneled if needed or preferred by the owner.
“Livia and family are simply the best. Since I was new to Rover, I was very nervous leaving Cooper with a stranger. Our pre visit put all of that to rest. Cooper was immediately treated as a family member. Livia regularly communicated how Cooper was doing throughout his stay. She was genuinely concerned about his well being asking questions when warranted. Livia’s son was kind enough to send a Spider-Man stuff toy home with Cooper. He hasn’t put it down since getting home. We will definitely use Livia again when needed.”
