“Brenley and his family took great care of our dog while we were gone for two weeks. He sent many updates and made us feel at ease being away from our boy. We fully plan on using them again”
“Amazing Experience with Damaris! Highly Recommend! I couldn't be more grateful for Damaris and the care she gave to my sweet Cavachon, Bella. Bella is a 5-year-old bundle of energy. Damaris went above and beyond! From the moment we met, I could tell she was a genuinely kind and sweet person who loves animals. Bella warmed up to her instantly, and I felt completely at ease leaving her in Damaris's care. Throughout the stay, Damaris kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me such peace of mind. Bella had a blast with her, and I could tell she was in loving hands the whole time.”
“Holly is absolutely Amazing! She has now watched our fur babies multiple times and she will always be our 1st choice any time we need someone to watch them. Thank you so much for taking care of Lilly and Luca ❤️”
“Thank you, guys for taking such good care of my spoiled child. it was our first time leaving him in the care of someone other than family. You've made our experience so pleasant. Thank you, Thank you, You were a true God sent!!!!!!”
“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.”
“Ben sent lots of pictures of our boy and made us really comfortable leaving him for the weekend. The frequent updates were super appreciated, we’d definitely book with him again!”
“Mary was amazing!! She was so easy to contact and she sent pictures and updates about my dog Max that stayed with her. He seemed to have a great time and he got along with her dog as well. Will definitely contact her again! 😊”
“My 2 poodles had a stay for the weekend, I was nervous since this was their first stay but Rachel assured me everything will be fine and it definitely was! One of my dogs got a small injury when dropping off and she was quick to jump into action and take care of it!! She kept me updated with daily pictures throughout their stay. My babies have a new best friend with Raven and can’t wait to go back!! I highly recommend her and her services & will be using her for future stays!!”
“Cheryn was wonderful! So kind, attentive, and caring. She sent lots of pics of my pup and regular updates. My pup loved staying with her, and I felt comforted knowing she was in good hands and having fun!”
“Iryna is fantastic. I could tell immediately that she and her family love animals. Her pup was super sweet when we arrived, so that was a bonus. This was our first time booking with Iryna, which I can find a little stressful. I had nothing to worry about bc she put me at ease immediately. She had great communication throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with plenty of pictures. She noticed a wound on our pup that we weren’t aware of, cleaned and treated it, and let us know right away. We also had a last minute medication request for a separate issue, and she was incredibly accommodating without hesitation. It was clear that she cared for our guy like he was her own. We would absolutely book with Iryna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter. - Diana (and Roy)”
“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.”
“William enjoyed his stay very much. I can tell because he was in no rush to leave. He came very happy with no ill acting effects as he had had with non Rover sitters. Lauren even gave him a bath because William was out playing rough in the yard, having fun, and he got dirty. They sent constant photos and videos of his stay. Thank you Lauren.”
“Marisa did a great job with my dogs. My big boy is scared of thunder and she made sure he was well taken care of care of during some storms that passed through. Will book again.”

“Olivia was fantastic! So grateful she was available last minute when I had car troubles coming home from a trip. She was communicative and followed all instructions. Would definitely have her back!”
“This is the 3rd time we have used Claire and we would continuously use her if it weren’t for us moving. She sends pictures every single day. Our cats are terrified of strangers but they’ve grown to love her which has surprised us COMPLETELY. Not because of the person she is but because that’s how scared our cats are of strangers. She takes amazing care of them and nothing less. My cats are always so, so happy when we come home (because they get to see us but more because they got to have a friend to hang out with for a few days to get away from their parents) and they’re well fed. She takes the time to play with them and make sure they’re active. She is always asking questions if things she can do for them to make them happier, or maybe ask about other toys we have to stimulate them. She’s a pet lover and it shows. She’s the only one I trust to pet sit my cats and the only person I trust to leave alone in my home. Sayings she’s amazing is an understatement. You HAVE to hire her for your babies.”

“Lisa was very sweet. You can tell how much she loves dogs. Our Anni did great, so I’m told. Since this was our first time using Rover we were nervous about leaving her. But after our experience with Lisa we will use Rover again. We are traveling across country and not every place is dog friendly. Thanks Lisa.”
About: For over 10 years, I’ve been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family. My duties are basically stopping in to make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, and most importantly, feel cared for while their humans are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, tossing a favorite toy, or just keeping them company. My experience is mostly with drop-ins and walks, and I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and making pets feel safe and happy in their own environment. I work full time, spending two to three days in the office and the rest working from home, which gives me a flexible schedule. During the week, I’m available for afternoon walks and early morning or evening drop-ins. On weekends, I can do drop-ins up to three times a day and am available for walks at almost any time. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always start by checking the space to make sure everything is safe and clean, just in case there was an accident or something seems off. I make sure they have fresh water, food, and a treat if it’s part of their routine. Depending on the pet’s needs, we’ll either head to the yard or go for a walk around the neighborhood. I approach every visit with a calm and nurturing energy, which helps pets feel safe and relaxed around me. Building trust and creating a peaceful environment is always my priority.
“It can be hard to find sitters willing to help with challenging dogs, and I have a very sweet pup who, unfortunately, has some separation anxiety that means she can’t be left home alone at this point. Julia agreed to watch her for some daycare while my husband and I attended a family birthday party, and she also was great about setting up a Meet and Greet about a week beforehand so that Sable could be introduced to Julia and her own pups. Julia sent pictures and updates while we were away, and I appreciated her honesty when I asked how Sable did. It seems as though Sable was only mildly embarrassing and didn’t put Julia through too much hassle, so I’m very grateful to have someone trustworthy and kind to leave my pup with! Thank you so much!”
“My husband Emile and I were very pleased and grateful for the care that Damaris and Jose’ provided our Emma! You can tell that they are animal lovers and treated her like their own! They have a lovely home and yard and sent pictures and videos of her stay. In the past, Emma has been cared for by family members. It’s nice to know that we have someone else turn to!”

Their comfort is my first priority.
About: I’ve been walking and caring for animals since I was a young child, so I bring a lot of hands-on experience and confidence in handling pets of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to keep them safe, happy, and well-exercised. I’m currently working from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to pet care. I’ve developed strong time management and organizational skills that translate well into pet walking and training. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be available during key times of the day for walks, check-ins, and consistent training sessions. Since I’m already accustomed to planning my day around routines, I’m able to reliably incorporate pet care into my schedule while maintaining a high level of attention and consistency. This flexibility also means I can accommodate client needs more easily and provide dependable, attentive care for their pets. I provide a safe and trustworthy environment by prioritizing consistency, attentiveness, and clear communication. Because I work from home, pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to closely monitor their behavior, comfort, and safety at all times. My experience working with animals since childhood has taught me how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort early and respond appropriately. I also maintain a clean, organized space and follow any specific instructions from pet owners regarding routines, feeding, and training. Building trust is very important to me, so I make sure to communicate regularly with updates and ensure each pet is cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine attention.
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: I have been around dogs and a variety of house/farm pets my entire life. I have been taking care of dogs as long as I can remember. I currently have 2 dogs of my own that I love and care for very much! As a freelancer, I am regularly available. I am happy to be your regular dog walker or someone you call on every now and then. I understand that every fur baby is unique and come with different needs. I am happy to discuss your needs & expectations on an individual basis so we can create the best care plan for your pet.
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 lived with and taken care of dogs since my early childhood. I currently operate a small dog walking business servicing the new orleans area. I currently plan on Pet walking and sitting on weekends and after 4pm on weekdays. I work full time and get off at 4pm which is right on time for walks, food and enrichment activities. I care for pets by making sure that they are consistently stimulated, whether that be music, petting, walks, conversation, play or mental enrichment. Your pet will be treated like family when you book with me :)
About: I started my animal care experience working for the Audubon Science and Nature center in animal husbandry by caring for native and exotic animals, birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians in outreach and environmental education! My husband and I cared for wild, rehabilated, exotic, domestic and farm animals throughout our careers. My husband has worked in a stable and farm and has experience with horses, goats, pigs, chickens ect. Both working part-time and mostly from home we will love your baby whether it's got fur, feathers ,hooves, scales or semiporous skin! ;-) My husband and I have a flexible schedule working part time and seasonally, with most hours I can set for myself and also often I am able to work from home. He and I make sure all animals are paid lots of attention to and cared for throughout the day and checked on at night. I have two residences one where I have my pets and another where there are no pets so we can discuss your pets environmental needs. Your baby can play with my pets or have the place to themselves if that suits their demeanor.

“Thank you, guys for taking such good care of my spoiled child. it was our first time leaving him in the care of someone other than family. You've made our experience so pleasant. Thank you, Thank you, You were a true God sent!!!!!!”
“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.”
“Ben sent lots of pictures of our boy and made us really comfortable leaving him for the weekend. The frequent updates were super appreciated, we’d definitely book with him again!”
“My 2 poodles had a stay for the weekend, I was nervous since this was their first stay but Rachel assured me everything will be fine and it definitely was! One of my dogs got a small injury when dropping off and she was quick to jump into action and take care of it!! She kept me updated with daily pictures throughout their stay. My babies have a new best friend with Raven and can’t wait to go back!! I highly recommend her and her services & will be using her for future stays!!”
“Iryna is fantastic. I could tell immediately that she and her family love animals. Her pup was super sweet when we arrived, so that was a bonus. This was our first time booking with Iryna, which I can find a little stressful. I had nothing to worry about bc she put me at ease immediately. She had great communication throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with plenty of pictures. She noticed a wound on our pup that we weren’t aware of, cleaned and treated it, and let us know right away. We also had a last minute medication request for a separate issue, and she was incredibly accommodating without hesitation. It was clear that she cared for our guy like he was her own. We would absolutely book with Iryna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter. - Diana (and Roy)”
“William enjoyed his stay very much. I can tell because he was in no rush to leave. He came very happy with no ill acting effects as he had had with non Rover sitters. Lauren even gave him a bath because William was out playing rough in the yard, having fun, and he got dirty. They sent constant photos and videos of his stay. Thank you Lauren.”
“Marisa did a great job with my dogs. My big boy is scared of thunder and she made sure he was well taken care of care of during some storms that passed through. Will book again.”

“I highly recommend Regina. She sent pics of my baby after she was picked up. She went above and beyond to help me get my dog to her and from her. She is a fantastic lady.”
“Beth was amazing. She immediately adjusted to all of my dog’s quirks and send lots of pics and videos. Bahula was completely at ease with her. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“He was home when he said he would be when I dropped off and picked up Boulet. Boulet appeared in good shape when I picked her up and everything I left was returned, food and water bowls, leash and bed. I will use Rhys the next time I need a sitter.”
“Jon took amazing care for Panfila. She came back home with a wagging tail and was very happy to stay with him. Jon is very attentive and really caters to each dog individually. Look forward to leaving her with him in the future.”
“Lisa and Gizzy took great care of our Charlie! He can be a nervous nelly, but they put him at ease quickly as if he was part of the family from day one. Pics and updates were sent regularly. We are so grateful to have found you as Charlie’s home away from home!”
“Courtney was wonderful and took such good care of our dog. She sent pictures daily and really cares about the animals she cares for!! We will use her again in the future!”
“We went on an extended vacation for over one month. Our Golden Doodle Prince is part of our family. In the past, we put him in a couple of different kennels with mixed results, but never felt comfortable. This vacation we left him with Kirsten. We received photos everyday. Prince was loved, walked, and cared for by her entire family. When we used kennels in the past, it would take Prince several days to get back to normal. After over a month with Kirsten, similar to summer camp for kids, we brought Prince home and he was his normal self. Thank you Kirsten for taking such good care of Prince.”
