Highly-rated overnight sitters - Rio
“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.”
“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.”
“Once again, Tanks was so well cared for. He feels so at home at their home that I feel at ease when he visits there. Tank is loved there and the photos they text me show it! Thanks again!”
“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!”
“Jes and her husband took exceptional care of my two dogs while I was away. They truly went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Jes kept me updated with plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and was attentive to their individual needs, making sure they received the best possible care. I could tell my dogs were loved and treated like family.”
“Tyler is phenomenal! This is the second time he has watched my parent's dog, and the first time he watched my dog. He takes dogs on walks, plays with them, and is always giving you updates via text. The dogs came home very happy and you can tell they were taken care of. Highly recommended and will absolutely call him again in the future.”
“Gizzmo enjoy her time with Courtney! This was our first time using Rover, Courtney really reassured me that Gizzmo would be OK and well taken care of. I did appreciate the text message updates and pictures of Gizzmo while our family was on vacation. We will definitely use Courtney again!”

“Amazing! Drop off and pickup was so easy! Sawsan sent photos every day and I could tell my pup was in great hands. She’s very clearly extremely experienced with dogs and it was great knowing my dog was in safe hands while I was traveling. We will definitely be back!!”
“Tiana was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. She sent frequent updates, along with plenty of photos and videos, so I always knew how he was doing. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about him and treated him like one of her own. I could tell he was happy, comfortable, and well loved throughout his stay. I would absolutely book with Tiana again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable pet sitter!”
“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!”
“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.

“Bobbi was a great sitter for our 2 pups. She updated me with pictures and more almost everyday we were gone. She bought toys for them as well. I will definitely ask Bobbi to take care of our babies again”
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.
“Meghan provided exceptional care to our fur baby. She provided regular updates via videos & photos, lots of cuddles, and individual attention to Argo. Meghan was very thorough with asking questions for feeding, potty breaks, treats, etc. We felt comfortable leaving him in her care and could rest easy knowing he was in such good hands. We definitely recommend Meghan & will rebook in the future!”
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! Although I do require a 24 hour request to prepare for sitting. 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!

“Alyssa was so great with my cat while I was on vacation. She informed me of everything and kept me updated with pictures. I will definitely call her if I need any check ins in the future!”
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: 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!
“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.”
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!
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.
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats, the occasional hamster, growing up. I love animals! I’m from the south and have come across all types of puppies (including gator pups) I have no problems in gaining new friends :) I am currently free lancing in artistic endeavors and having a friendly pet would help with the time I’m at home needing a little company and a less… talkative version than human conversation! I love animals and have experience with all types! (I’m from Louisiana so I mean ALL types) including the senior doggies ;) I have a closed in front patio with a little nature-esque ground for quick potty breaks and just to sunbathe when the need arises. I take walks often and live in a neighbor hood away from a busy strip so I can keep pets safe and exercised!
“Loralei did drop in visits 2 x day for 5 days for my 3 pups . Charlie is not particularly fond of people and I was a little nervous about how he’d react but by the end of the second day she had won him over and he followed her outside along with the other 2. She also fed my fish and put bird seed in my feeder every morning. She communicated concerns and reassured me all was well . I recommend her and I will use her again in the future !”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Rio
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up with horses taught me responsibility, patience, attention to detail, and how to confidently care for animals with different personalities and needs. In addition to horses, I have experience pet sitting for dogs and cats throughout high school and beyond for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m also a proud dog owner to my dachshund, Pockets, who I absolutely adore as well as my two horses Jessie and Seven and my three miniature ponies, Lloyd, Peaches, and Peanut. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or dependable daily care, I treat every animal like they’re my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know what it means to be on vacation and know that your animals are in trusted hands, that piece of mind can make your trip so much more enjoyable and I’m here to make that happen! I have a flexible schedule and offer plenty of time, attention, and care for your pets! Since pet sitting is something I do alongside my post-grad career search, I'm available the majority of the time and can often accommodate different schedules. I do compete professionally in rodeos, which may occasionally have me out of town on some weekends, but | keep my calendar updated and communicate early so scheduling is easy and reliable. Your pet's comfort and routine will always be my top priority while they're in my care. I have a fenced-in yard and experience caring for animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to horses. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, i'll tailor my care to their needs, personality, and routine. I'm happy to spend the extra time needed to keep things familiar for your pet while you're away.
“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!”

“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.

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.

Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. 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: 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.
“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!”
“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 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.

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.

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Rio
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: 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!
“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 am a calm caregiver who is great with anxious dogs and rescue pups! I have 6 years of experience with senior dogs (large and small), medication administration, and special diets. I am currently self employed, making my our schedule. I am able to build my schedule around your pets’ needs, whether that is during the week day or weekend. When petting sitting at clients homes, I make sure to leave the house just as clean as when the client left. I believe it is important to treat others homes and animals with the respect and care of my personal home and pets.
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.

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 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!
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. They love me and I treat them as if they are my own child. I have three Australian shepherds and they are my whole world. They are so energetic and keep me active so being active with your dog is no problem. I am available any time as I work from home with a flexible schedule. I’ll be able to give your baby my full attention. Just let me know when you need to look after your baby I love taking dogs for walks or even car rides. Love playing fetch or whatever your dog enjoys doing. I also have a crate to crate your dog in if needed.
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.
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.

“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.”

“Amazing! Drop off and pickup was so easy! Sawsan sent photos every day and I could tell my pup was in great hands. She’s very clearly extremely experienced with dogs and it was great knowing my dog was in safe hands while I was traveling. We will definitely be back!!”
“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!”

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.
“She did an amazing job! My pup was so happy and loved spending time with her. She brought him to the park and also gave him a oatmeal bath! One of the best sitters we have ever had! Your buddy will be in good hands! She also sent us updates and pictures! We will definitely be back soon!”
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 had experience with anything from birds, rabbits, dogs and cats. My college coaches have had me housesit for their furry babies many times! I am eager and organized and would be a great fit for any type of pet care for you! I just moved here from Cali and currently have an 8 month old, so I’m picking up any dog sitting or babysitting needs to make a little extra cash! With that said, I’m available all day every day and would love to take care of your sweet pet! I take safety to be my number one priority. I will follow your instructions exactly and take every precaution needed to ensure a safe and healthy stay under my watch.
“Livia was outstanding with our two labradoodles. She was caring and attentive, and looked after our senior dog and our younger, high energy dog with equal enthusiasm. She kept us well informed with daily photos and videos. Her home and large fenced yard were the perfect environment, and our dogs came home happy. Livia's own dog played well with ours, and they formed an instant new pack. We highly recommend Livia.”
“Hands down the best sitter in town! Chloe is amazing not only with my fur baby but with the communication and attention everyone needs to be calm away from my pup! Thanks Chloe to you and your husband for having Chief as your companion!”
