“My dog is older and has meds she needs to take on a daily basis. Joyce took great care of her while I was out of town. I definitely would recommend her to others looking to board their dogs.”
“You simply cannot do better than Viola. My 10 year old toy poodle is hard to leave because of her separation anxiety. Viola won her over, spoiled her and sent me updates that allowed me to enjoy my four day trip. You can see her love for dogs in everything she does. My Sassy didn’t even stop eating which had been an issue. I was more than satisfied. ISO happy I found this lovely lady.”
“Lauren and Cody provided attentive care for Quincy during our 5-day trip. They sent regular updates with photos and videos, which was very reassuring. They were accommodating with his schedule and made sweet gestures like creating a cozy sleeping space with his special blanket. Their children were especially kind with Quincy. While we had some miscommunication about his potty routine that led to some accidents, they remained patient and caring throughout his stay. Quincy enjoyed playing with their dog Yo-Yo, and it was nice to see him socializing. They were flexible with drop-off/pickup times and maintained good communication throughout.”
“This was my first time booking on Rover and was a little nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. Shante sent daily pictures and videos of my dog which help ease that stress. He was in great hands”
“We have used Ariana a few times now and every time my pups have come home happy and tired. I feel comfortable dropping those Tugrats off knowing they will be well taken care of no matter how long I am away. Thanks for always being willing to take care of our babies! 💜”
“Second booking for our Layla and Peluche. Nicolette took good care of them and provided updates while we were away. They got attention and exercise that they couldn’t get from our prior boarding arrangements. Comforting to know they were well cared for while we were away. Highly recommend Nicolette.”
“We were so nervous leaving Willow with someone for the first time. Carol is wonderful! She is so patient and kind. She sent messages and pictures every day. She gave us piece of mind to be able to enjoy our vacation. We would definitely recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much!”
“Angela and Bill absolutely pampered our senior greyhound. She is very nervous in new environments, but they made her feel completely safe and cared for while we were away. They went above and beyond to make sure she ate every meal, took all of her medications, and stayed comfortable and happy the entire time. They even gave her a bath before we picked her up, which was such a thoughtful touch. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our sweet senior girl was being loved on like family. We would absolutely trust them with her again and cannot recommend them enough.”
“From the moment we stepped into Jena’s home I knew we had made the right decision. I have no doubts 130lb baby was very well taken care of. We will definitely use her again.”
“Keith was absolutely wonderful with Geni. She came home so calm and happy from playing with her new friends. He was amazing and made me feel completely at ease with leaving Geni with someone for the first time ever. She’s a bigger breed and still a pup so she can be a handful and Keith handled her great. I will definitely be using Keith again for future needs!”
“We have been so happy with Tracy and her level of care for our toy poodle. Tracy and her kids treated our dog like she was family. I know our dog felt right at home while we were gone. I received multiple updates and pictures while we were away. We’ve booked with her twice now and will continue to use her for the future.”
“Kristin was great! She kept me updated the whole time my babies were away! I felt like I didn’t miss a thing! They had a lot of fun and she made sure to introduce any other dogs in a safe way so she knew they would get along! Would definitely recommend!”
“Theo absolutely LOVES Janelle, we don’t know what she has haha but he goes crazy when we get into her apt complex and is always so happy in all of the photos she sends us!:)”
“Ashley was a great sitter for our pups. She was very friendly, had a clean and well maintained home, she communicated well throughout their stay. I wouldnt hesitate to let her watch them 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!!”
“This was our dog’s 2nd stay with Amanda. As soon as I dropped her off at Amanda’s house, I could tell Marley remembered being there and was excited to be back! Amanda sends frequent updates and pictures, which really helped us not to worry about our baby while we were away. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Kelbie was fantastic! She picked up and dropped off Zummo, sent regular picture updates, and made sure he felt right at home. He came back happy and relaxed, and it was clear her whole family loved having him. I’ll definitely be booking with Kelbie again!”

“Terrie is amazing. She has been watching my brood since I moved to Louisiana. My cats are my babies and I truly value their care above all else. Knowing they are safe and secure with Terrie makes taking a trip easier. The photos and updates the joy of my days when I’m away. I’ll continue to use Terrie for my furbabies.”
“Michele was great! She took excellent care of our cats and our home. She even refreshed the food for our hermit crabs. :) Will definitely book with her again if she's available!”
“Peace of Mind for My Five Cats! Kaitlyn has been an absolute blessing! As the owner of five cats, it gives me tremendous peace of mind knowing they are in such caring and capable hands when I'm away. She always follows instructions carefully, pays attention to the little details, and genuinely cares about my fur babies' well-being. Kaitlyn is friendly, dependable, professional, and always willing to help whenever I need her. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure my cats are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It's not easy finding someone you can completely trust with your pets and your home, but Kaitlyn has earned that trust many times over. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter!!!”
“I cannot express how grateful we were to have Aimee watch over our fur babies while we were gone. She took the time to let our kitties get use to her, which meant the world! Aimee is extremely sweet & kind and communicated with me daily to let me know how they were doing! We will definitely be using her services again!!!”
About: I have helped take care of cats for years, as my grandparents who I am very close with, have had cats most of my life & I am their chosen guardian when they are away (for my friends as well). I am great with caring/ feeding them (obviously), entertaining, as well as tending to their silly quirks! I am even great at cleaning litter boxes!! 🐱💗
About: I have professional pet care experience, so I’m comfortable with feeding routines, medications, litter boxes and all the fun stuff. I also know cats make the rules. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want me to feed them and then pretend I don’t exist, I can respect that too.
About: Hi! My name is Shayna Malonson, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals—especially dogs. I grew up with dogs my entire life, and now as an adult with my own home, I’m lucky to have two of my own: Ally (4 years old) and King (2 years old). They are a huge part of my daily life and have taught me so much about responsible, loving care. I personally bathe my dogs, brush their teeth, and handle their basic grooming after learning how to properly care for them myself. Through experience—especially managing my older dog’s dry skin—I’ve learned a lot about different dog food brands, skin-care products, and overall dog wellness. This has helped me become very attentive to each dog’s individual needs. In my free time, I enjoy playing fetch, going on simple walks, and giving my dogs plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home often and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to plan feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest periods without rushing. I build my day around the dogs in my care, making sure they receive regular supervision, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning and evening routines, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m flexible and dependable. I enjoy keeping pets on a steady schedule so they feel comfortable and secure I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated like family and are always supervised. I make sure the space is clean, pet-safe, and free from hazards, with plenty of room for rest, play, and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with basic grooming care such as bathing and brushing, and I pay close attention to skin sensitivity, diet needs, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended outside. Trust and communication are very important to me. I provide updates, photos, and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.
About: I have been around animals of all ages. From puppies and kittens to senior animals. I love and care for them as if they were my own, so trusting me to care for your pets is a choice you will not regret!
About: Friends and family often call me the “cat whisperer” because I’m patient, calm, and connect well with cats of all personalities. I love giving cuddles, playtime, and creating a comfortable, stress-free environment while owners are away. I’m also experienced with shy, picky, senior, sick, or harder-to-handle cats and understand that every cat has different needs and routines.
About: I love being engaged and active with each and every fur baby I’m blessed to watch. I love seeing their individual personalities blossom and grow! I can travel if needed. I create my schedule around my clients wants and needs. I try my best to be as flexible as possible because life happens to all of us. I am very willing to travel beyond the 60 mile radius allowed. I make sure to stay on any established schedule they may have and make sure that each and every one has the love and affection they so deserve.
“Highly recommend Melissa. She took care of my two cats during a last minute trip. She was very communicative and kept me up to date with her visits. I’ll keep working with Melissa as I travel often during the weekends.”
About: I’ve been fostering and volunteering with dogs for years, so I’m comfortable with all kinds. I really enjoy training too, whether it’s playing ball, doing some basic obedience work, or just sitting and creating a relaxed state of mind. I’m good at reading cues and making sure the dogs feel safe while they’re with me. Options include field play time, scent games, recall work, and a slat-mill for burning energy inside during the hottest months. I am certified by Animal Behavior College and have been training at Larry Benoit's facility for about 6 months. I care for all of the dogs just like my own! I have many dogs here and allow friends to play. I can also crate and rotate if you're not sure your dog will get along with others. When we train, we focus one on one!

“I am delighted to share my exceptional experience with Jena as a dog caregiver through the Rover app. Jena took care of my six-month-old puppy, Luna, for her first dog daycare adventure, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Jena’s care for Luna was outstanding – her attention to Luna’s needs and her nurturing approach made Luna’s first experience truly special. The regular updates and communication from Jena provided me with peace of mind throughout the day. Jena’s professionalism, combined with her genuine love for animals, made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Luna not only received excellent care but also seemed genuinely happy in Jena’s company. I wholeheartedly recommend Jena to the Rover community. She is a fantastic caregiver, and I am grateful for the positive impact she had on Luna’s daycare experience.”
“My boy had such a good day with Courtney!! He attached to her and made him a new bestie today. Very thankful she was able to accommodate me in my last minute needs! Would definitely trust her with my baby again in the future!!”

About: I’ve taken care of and had dogs of my own for many many years. I have handle anything from newborn puppies and up and all types. I will provide treats, some toys and other things. Please bring your baby’s food and anything they prefer that you like make them more comfortable. They may prefer a certain toy, treat, blanket, etc. Feel free to bring those items. I am a single mom. I have a pretty flexible schedule and will have lots of time available for your fur babies! I look forward to working with you! I can come to you or keep your dogs here. I have a fenced in yard. Let’s discuss what will work best for your individual needs.
About: Kind, nice and attentive, Your Dogs Safe Space away from Home. A special getaway for your pup who will never want to leave. Come Experience what you will never forget! I’m home throughout the day and can provide attentive, reliable care for your dog. I will walk, feed, and care for your pet according to your instructions in a safe, pet-friendly environment. I also have a dog house available if needed, and indoor dogs are welcome as well. I currently accept small and medium-sized dogs only. “I have fur babies that can play with your dogs! If your dog is not neutered, please let me know. Female dogs will go out separately from males for potty breaks, playtime, and feeding times. I will feed them as requested, provide water breaks, and make sure they are in a safe, caring environment.”
“This was our pups’ first time away from us and Jennifer was so great with them! We have a longer boarding stay coming up and wanted to see how they would do beforehand. She was so patient with my anxious boy and helped them both settle in in their own time. They were running around and playing by the end of the stay! She was also really communicative and kept us updated often with lots of photos. I’m incredibly picky about who watches my dogs, but after today, I have no reservations about leaving them in Jennifer’s care. They’ll be seeing her again soon!”
About: My husband and I have always had pets growing up. We knew we wanted this for our children as well. Our daughter and son love pets and would want a farm if we allowed it! I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings. Before I leave for work all pets are fed and taken outside. Upon returning home I let the pets out again for a bit longer to play in our fenced in yard. Mornings begin with food and water and a morning treat. Bella lets us know when she needs to go out by going to the patio door. During the day she is very chill and usually lays on the sofa waiting on the kids to return from school. When everyone is home from work and school Bella is fed again and everyone gets some snuggles in with her.
“Lola, Charlie, and Hamilton all did excellent! The house is super cute and clean, they provided an extra kennel, they were flexible with our drop off and pick up time, and were so friendly and so great and caring with our pups. We appreciate it! Next time we come back to Louisiana we will use again!”

“My dog absolutely loved him. He was anxious the first day but Keith really helped him get comfortable and by the third day he was happily running inside, not sparing me a second glance. Would 100% have Keith watch my dog again.”
About: As a pet owner myself, I have experience with how to keep feeding routines, administer meds, walks, playtime, potty breaks, grooming and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m currently working remotely and part time. This leaves me plenty of time to care for pets on weekdays and weekends, throughout the day. Early mornings and late evenings are no problem. We have a private fenced in yard for those that need ample activity. Pets are cared for in the home but also have their own room for when they need a quiet corner.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. Growing up with pets taught me responsibility, patience, and the joy that comes from truly understanding an animal’s needs. As an adult, I’ve continued that commitment through responsible pet ownership, giving my own pets a loving, structured, and enriching home. My foundation in animal care goes even deeper thanks to my years in 4‑H, where I gained hands‑on experience in dog husbandry. From training and grooming to understanding canine behavior and proper health routines, 4‑H gave me practical skills that I still use every day. It shaped the way I approach pet care—with intention, respect, and a focus on safety and well‑being. Whether it’s daily walks, structured play, or simply offering a calm, comforting presence, I bring a lifetime of experience and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Your dog isn’t just another booking to me—they’re a member of the family, and I treat them with the same attention and affection I give my own. Working from home allows me to build pet care into the rhythm of my day in a way that feels effortless and intentional. Mornings start with a quick check‑in, fresh water, and a walk to get everyone moving. Throughout the workday, I’m able to offer consistent companionship — whether that’s a midday potty break, a play session between meetings, or simply being a calm presence while I work. I can keep an eye on their behavior, maintain feeding schedules, and respond quickly to their needs. Afternoon breaks often turn into enrichment time: a walk, a puzzle toy, or a little training practice to keep their minds engaged. Even as I wrap up my workday, pets stay part of the flow — evening walks, dinner routines, and plenty of attention. Working from home means your pet gets steady care, structure, and affection woven naturally into my day, not squeezed in around it. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly dogs (74 lb. silver lab + 35 lb. terrier mix). My goal is to keep your pets routine consistent while providing a clean, safe and calm environment. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal rhythm. I follow your feeding, walking, and medication schedules exactly as you outline, and I make sure they get the same level of attention and affection they’re used to. I also keep your home tidy, respect your space, and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: Hi, I'm Terrie! I'm the person your pets will accidentally like more than you and may file a formal complaint when I leave. Don't worry, they'll still be thrilled when you come home! I'm basically a part time butler, snack distributor, belly rub technician, professional poop scooper, personal paparazzi and a humble servant to whichever four legged CEO is currently in charge. If it has paws, claws, wings, or a personality bigger than its body, I'm probably going to adore it. Pet care is truly a family affair in our home. My family is very hands on and shares my love of animals, which means your pets get plenty of extra attention, affection, care, and at least three separate rounds of “who’s the cutest?” commentary. I’m the proud human of 2 huskies, 10 cats, 2 chameleons, and a fish crew - so chaos, cuddles, and a little bit of fur are basically my normal. In our house, dishing out treats is an Olympic sport, and I am absolutely going for gold. I’ve mastered the art of negotiating with pups and earning cat approval. My mission? Keep tails wagging, whiskers twitching, and pet parents completely worry free. I'll send plenty of updates, lots of adorable photos, and return your pets happy, loved, and only slightly convinced they've hired me as their new personal assistant. New Pet Friends = Mandatory Meet & Sniff! 🐾 I have one tiny rule: every new pet friend gets a meet & greet before we make things official. I like to let your pet decide if I'm worthy of joining their staff, and hopefully earning a tail wag, nose boop, or dramatic cat stare of approval. It's the perfect time to learn their routines, favorite treats, secret hiding spots, and any adorable quirks - so when booking day arrives - we're already best buds! Travel Policy: If you're more than 15 miles away, there's a $10 travel fee per visit will be added to help keep my gas tank as happy as your pets. I have an embarrassingly open schedule. Rain? No problem. Sunshine? Even better. I'll happily brave the weather for potty breaks, neighborhood adventures, epic games of fetch, or a cuddle session worthy of an Olympic medal. Your pets set the agenda - I'm just their very enthusiastic assistant. Life loves to throw curveballs, so I do my best to accommodate last minute schedule changes whenever I can. Whether you're stuck at work, planning a spontaneous getaway, or your meeting magically turned into "one more hour," I've got you covered. Big, small, fluffy, scaly, feathery, or suspiciously crunchy - I love them all. I've cared for everything from tarantulas and snakes to rabbits and hedgehogs, so I don't scare easy. Your pet will be treated like royalty, spoiled beyond reason, and lovingly convinced this is their all inclusive vacation resort. Belly rubs? Unlimited. Snacks? Duh. Personal fan club? Already formed. I'll happily accept my role as their humble servant while they run the household.
About: I love being engaged and active with each and every fur baby I’m blessed to watch. I love seeing their individual personalities blossom and grow! I can travel if needed. I create my schedule around my clients wants and needs. I try my best to be as flexible as possible because life happens to all of us. I am very willing to travel beyond the 60 mile radius allowed. I make sure to stay on any established schedule they may have and make sure that each and every one has the love and affection they so deserve.
About: I have been the go-to professional and friend for pet care and house-sitting for many. My goal is always to give your pet and home the same care and consideration I would my own. I have had pets since I can remember. My first pet was a jet black cat resembling the color of a raven. I learned and practiced numerous pet care tactics which allowed my cat to live a very fruitful life to 20 years old. I also had a delightful Bischon with a spunky personality that was always the life of the party. I am no stranger to large size or senior age pets, but am also well acquainted with service dogs. I have experience with pigs, fishes, snails, but my most favorite of all horses! I truly enjoy engaging with furry loved ones and giving them the tender care they obviously deserves! I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to give your fur baby lots of attentive care, playtime, and mental stimulation by providing activity throughout the day. I have a fenced-in yard with ample space and love to go for strolls around the neighborhood and local parks. I love to play games and engage throughout the day.
“I left for 3 weeks and needed a reliable, loving, caring person to take care of my two sweetheart fur babies who are about a medium size. Allison was always in touch about what was going on and gave thorough reports on how her visits went, which really helped me enjoy my vacation so much more. Allison quickly developed an outstanding relationship with Eli & Bagels to the point where they were wagging their tales anticipating her arrival! Could not be more pleased and appreciative for Allison! Would absolutely recommend her for any pets who are treated like sweet babies as I treat mine!!”
About: I've worked at dog daycares for 3 years as well as pet grooming! I also plan on studying environmental/animal science soon! Animals are my passion!! Currently working part time as well as studying online! So I have plenty of open space and time to care for your fur baby! I walk each morning and love being outdoors! I have a large yard and plenty of land and a friendly neighborhood to walk your fur baby!! I can easily kennel pets and have experience in spoiling and corrective behavior!
“Tenay is a skilled and enthusiastic dog walker who keeps in touch when caring for pets. She stayed with my pup for three days while I was out of town, and did a great job, even managing to get my "loves to nap" dog out for some long walks (which he needs). She sent photos and videos and I felt confident that he was Ok at all times.”

I enjoy keeping pets on a steady schedule so they feel comfortable and secure I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated like family and are always supervised. I make sure the space is clean, pet-safe, and free from hazards, with plenty of room for rest, play, and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with basic grooming care such as bathing and brushing, and I pay close attention to skin sensitivity, diet needs, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended outside. Trust and communication are very important to me. I provide updates, photos, and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.
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: I have always had animals in my life. I know each one is different and special. I grew up on a farm so I know having a loving and compassionate person to care for your babies is a necessity when you have animals. I am a stay at home mom so while the kids are at school I have plenty of time to come by and play with your babies. I have a fenced in courtyard area in my home. We also have two dogs that love other dogs. One is a rescue Maltese and is 12 years old. The other is a 2 year old poodle, he is my husband's service dog so usually he is at work with my husband all day.
About: All the Doggies sleep with me in my bed! They are allowed on furniture & anywhere they’d like to be comfortable. I worked for Companion Animal alliance in Baton Rouge working with dogs & cats as a caretaker. I mobile groom for people around the Livingston parish area & I’m well known on the nextdoor app. I have a bunch of references! I am very passionate about your fur babies & one day will open up my own business building for grooming/boarding & as new clients you would be adding to my fund for that. It has been my life long dream to accomplish this one day & I am going to keep working towards that. I want to expand this business into something much bigger & for people to feel at ease with leaving your babies in the care of someone who will love them unconditionally. All you have to bring for your baby is their dog food/cat food. I have dog/cat bowls, leashes, toys, puppy pads, litter boxes, litter, cat toys, cat/dog beds, ( I supply dog treats ) I do not put the babies in kennels unless instructed to do so by you if you bring your own. At bed time I put on relaxing music for the dogs to calm down & sleep, heating pads for cold nights, lots of blankets & beds. Any of their comfort items I would suggest bring with them. I do live in a new trailer, lots of room for your babies to roam & play! non smoker. I have experience with large dogs to small dogs, senior dogs & ones with bad anxiety or kennel aggressive ect. I also have experience with birds, especially parrots. I know how to handle in any situation when it comes to different behaviors from animals. I am also pit bull friendly 💕 The babies I board/doggy daycare have FREE ROAM. Which means they can go as they please anywhere in my home, they can sleep with me or they can sleep on the couches or their beds, but If you prefer your baby in a kennel at night, I will respect your wishes. I only have one kennel designated just for that.. You will receive lots of pictures/videos & updates to the point where it may be a little annoying but you’ll never have to text me first checking on them. I give them lots of love! I stay home everyday with the babies, so they will get all of the attention they need. The night before pick up/drop offs, I do give them a bath, each one no matter what. I can pick your dog up or drop them off, I have never had an issues with any dogs fighting, running off or accidents. I am VERY experienced in RUNNERS, the ones who wait for you to open the door to escape. Never had a runner succeed in getting away. I can clip your babies nails & give them a little trim if need be free of charge. If your dog needs medication I can administer it to them at the times needed. Prozac, prednisone, insulin, antibiotics ect, I’m familiar with all. Thank you for taking the time to read this & hopefully you have found the right sitter for your baby/babies. 🐶 I bring the babies to the dog park twice a week along with water treats & toys. I can manage 5 at a time ( leashed ) I do have a fenced in yard with a doggy pool, it’s covered & has pet turf. Lots of room for your baby to play!! This is what I do for a living! I eat breathe & sleep doggies. I stay home full time & when I say full time it’s me & the pups home everyday. I LOVE & taking care of your 4 legged sweetie pies, when you book with me it will allow me to continue to care for the fur babies & accomplish my life long dream to open up a bigger place to care for more. 💕 I truly appreciate repeat customers, but with inflation the way that it is, the cost of gas being so high, I had to make the difficult decision to raise my prices up to $2 more since last year. I understand if you choose to look elsewhere for services, but I hope that you choose to continue to use me. & for new clients ❤️ I have a small male dachshund that gets along with animals & kids very well! I am 100% committed to your pets to make them & you comfortable with my services. I treat my clients babies just like I would my baby!
About: I’ve been fostering and volunteering with dogs for years, so I’m comfortable with all kinds. I really enjoy training too, whether it’s playing ball, doing some basic obedience work, or just sitting and creating a relaxed state of mind. I’m good at reading cues and making sure the dogs feel safe while they’re with me. Options include field play time, scent games, recall work, and a slat-mill for burning energy inside during the hottest months. I am certified by Animal Behavior College and have been training at Larry Benoit's facility for about 6 months. I care for all of the dogs just like my own! I have many dogs here and allow friends to play. I can also crate and rotate if you're not sure your dog will get along with others. When we train, we focus one on one!
About: I have experience working with all kinds of animals: racehorses, cats, dogs, even alligators! You can rest easy knowing that your pets are in experienced and safe hands. I have the privilege of being able to work from home and having a flexible schedule, which allows me to be able to accommodate most requests during the week or weekends. I have a spacious and safe apartment situated in a quiet neighborhood with ample sidewalks for walks. If house sitting, I’m happy to gather mail, water plants, etc.
About: I have been taking care of animals, specifically dogs and cats, since I was around 12 years old. My parish does not have an animal shelter or any service to help with strays so I began to take them in (I was basically fostering them). As I grew up my love for them never stopped growing. I worked at an animal shelter in college. I gained experience working at a grooming/boarding facility, and I also have had a little bit of experience in a vet’s office as a tech. I currently have 5 dogs of my own ranging in sizes XXL (100lbs)-XS (8lbs). They are like my children to me! My boyfriend and I also have 7 chickens and plan to hatch more soon. We also feed all the strays cats around our house and will never hesitate to help any animal in need. My main focus will be on dog walking and check in visits, as well as overnight stays. I would be happy to provide a bath and brushing, toe nail clipping, and anything else needed! Spending my days with animals seems to best way to do it to me. I can walk dogs any day of the week! My times available for walking are 6:00am-5:00pm. I am available to go check in on them any day as well. My availability for overnight stays is the same, reach out to me any day of the week! While your pet is in my home they will be my main focus and be with me basically 24/7! If they are comfortable with car rides they can come with me on any errands I need to do. I can also come to your home and watch your fur baby! I will follow any schedule you give me for them and try to figure out the best way to cater to their needs. Whether that be laying on the couch watching TV, taking a walk around the neighborhood, playing fetch, playing with the water hose, etc! I can provide medication if needed as well and make sure to keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary in their behavior.

I have a fenced in backyard with a very friendly Golden who would love play dates! If you would rather me come to your house, I love taking long walks and am very used to playing with toys in the house to try to burn all of that energy!

“Lauren and Cody provided attentive care for Quincy during our 5-day trip. They sent regular updates with photos and videos, which was very reassuring. They were accommodating with his schedule and made sweet gestures like creating a cozy sleeping space with his special blanket. Their children were especially kind with Quincy. While we had some miscommunication about his potty routine that led to some accidents, they remained patient and caring throughout his stay. Quincy enjoyed playing with their dog Yo-Yo, and it was nice to see him socializing. They were flexible with drop-off/pickup times and maintained good communication throughout.”
“We have used Ariana a few times now and every time my pups have come home happy and tired. I feel comfortable dropping those Tugrats off knowing they will be well taken care of no matter how long I am away. Thanks for always being willing to take care of our babies! 💜”
“From the moment we stepped into Jena’s home I knew we had made the right decision. I have no doubts 130lb baby was very well taken care of. We will definitely use her again.”
“Keith was absolutely wonderful with Geni. She came home so calm and happy from playing with her new friends. He was amazing and made me feel completely at ease with leaving Geni with someone for the first time ever. She’s a bigger breed and still a pup so she can be a handful and Keith handled her great. I will definitely be using Keith again for future needs!”
“We have been so happy with Tracy and her level of care for our toy poodle. Tracy and her kids treated our dog like she was family. I know our dog felt right at home while we were gone. I received multiple updates and pictures while we were away. We’ve booked with her twice now and will continue to use her for the future.”

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!!”
“This was our dog’s 2nd stay with Amanda. As soon as I dropped her off at Amanda’s house, I could tell Marley remembered being there and was excited to be back! Amanda sends frequent updates and pictures, which really helped us not to worry about our baby while we were away. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Kelbie was fantastic! She picked up and dropped off Zummo, sent regular picture updates, and made sure he felt right at home. He came back happy and relaxed, and it was clear her whole family loved having him. I’ll definitely be booking with Kelbie again!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was around 13, from pet sitting for neighbors, friends and family to working professionally in dog daycare and boarding facilities. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m comfortable giving medications, following prescription diets and special feeding instructions, and I also have experience giving insulin injections to diabetic dogs. My professional experience has also included bathing, daycare/boarding care and transporting pets. I have three dogs of my own, including my 11-year-old husky mix and two young dachshunds, so I’m very comfortable with everything from puppy energy to senior care. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time for pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and other pet care during weekdays and weekends. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, whether that means early potty breaks, meal times, medications or just some extra playtime and attention. I treat every pet like I would want someone to treat my own. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, medications, potty schedules and each pet’s individual routine. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs and dogs with special care needs. I’m also very mindful of doors, gates, leashes and surroundings because I know how quickly a curious dog can decide it’s time for an adventure! I’m happy to follow whatever routine and safety rules you have in place in your home.
About: As a pet owner myself, I have experience with how to keep feeding routines, administer meds, walks, playtime, potty breaks, grooming and recognizing when something isn’t quite right. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’m currently working remotely and part time. This leaves me plenty of time to care for pets on weekdays and weekends, throughout the day. Early mornings and late evenings are no problem. We have a private fenced in yard for those that need ample activity. Pets are cared for in the home but also have their own room for when they need a quiet corner.
“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 ❤️”
“She took excellent care of my dog. She also did a great job administering twice daily flushing/drop regimen for an ear infection we found just days before our trip.”
