Highly-rated overnight sitters - Shenandoah
“Ella is like our child and we were nervous about leaving her for a week. Lauren and Cody treated Ella like a member of the family. We would absolutely trust them with our girl again. It was especially nice to have their children interact with Ella as she loves children.”
“Nicolette was professional and courteous in every sense. It’s understandable why she has so many positive reviews and repeat customers. I wish my dog wasn’t so high energy. It sometimes leads to him becoming over anxious and nervous as well as affecting his eating but that’s just the nature of a rat terrier. I would not hesitate to recommend Nicolette to anyone including friends and family.”
“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.”
“She was amazing! She sent me pictures of her and my fur baby and my Diamond started getting attached to her! She kept me updated the entire 4 days and I will definitely be returning if I need care again. I was nervous because it was my JRT's 1st time boarding but she made it super fun and relaxing for her! Thank you so much”
“Bradley graciously accepted a short notice booking for our dog Ghost. He was very communicative and responsive leading up to and throughout the boarding stay. Bradley’s dog Beaux is very sweet, gentle & got along well with Ghost. We 100% recommend Bradley for boarding.”
“Tracy was absolutely amazing with Rocky. She was so sweet and caring from the very beginning. She kept me updated the entire time, sending pictures and letting me know how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rocky came back home calm, happy, and not nervous at all, that says everything. I’m truly grateful for how well she took care of him. Highly recommend her and would definitely trust her again with Rocky”
“Janelle was very attentive and supportive during my booking. She is very responsive and will provide you with update on your fur baby. She sends pictures and keeps you updated. I will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Crystal is such an amazing person and sitter! My Baby enjoyed every minute with her. She sent updates with pictures, which I love! We feel very blessed and safe.. Thank you 😍😍😍”
“Communicates well, his experience and knowledge helped me worry less about leaving Lumi for the first time. I received check-ins/update with how Lumi was adjusting. Lumi will definitely be boarding with Keith again.”
“Our dog Marley tends to be anxious in new situations since she was a shelter dog, but seemed comfortable in Amanda’s home the moment we walked in for drop off. It made me feel much better about leaving our newly adopted girl for over a week! She sent updates and pictures often while we were on vacation. Would not hesitate to use Amanda again for future dog sitting and will recommend her to my friends!”
“Marqita is awesome! I love the frequent updates/photo updates of my 5 months cavachon. She put me at ease knowing he’s having fun and in a safe place. Thank you Marqita for taking care of our baby Amenadiel and for accommodating my short noticed extension of stay. Will definitely book again! ?”
“Debra made us comfortable leaving our little buddy for the first time. She updated us with pictures and antics. Upon our return we found our guy happy and well cared for. Couldn't have asked for more.”
“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!”
“Christie was very responsive. She sent daily pics of my pup. This was my first time leaving my pup and she made me feel comfortable. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs through my previous work assisting a sitter on Rover. During that time, I helped with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure each dog felt safe and comfortable in their environment. I worked with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which taught me how to adjust my care to meet each animal's unique needs. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attention are when it comes to animals. Whether it's an energetic pup that needs extra playtime or a more relaxed dog that just wants companionship, I make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I'm also comfortable following specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special care requests. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being at all times. As a college student with a very flexible schedule, I'm able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. My availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays without feeling rushed. Because of this flexibility, I can adjust to your pet's routine and make sure they get consistent care, attention, and companionship whenever they need it. 1 understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always prioritize safety by staying attentive, following instructions carefully, and making sure pets are secure and comfortable in their environment. You can count on me to provide dependable, respectful care while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve.
“Jason was super nice to us and awesome with our Border collie! Kept her super active and played with her a lot! Our dog is definitely looking forward to staying with him again!”

“I have 2 (somewhat litter box trained) ferrets, and Ashley took great care of them, despite how messy I know they can be. Thank you so much! They’re free fed and have a water fountain, and both stayed full the whole week and a half I was gone. I was so scared of coming back to ferret poop all over my house, but the place was perfectly clean. She even worked with me when I forgot to leave my key under the mat. Thank you again!”
“Kaylee was awesome and sweet! She checked in on our babies and kept us updated with photos and messages! She even got our shy boy to open up with her. We will definitely be booking again!”
“Tessie did a great job checking in on our girls! We have one who is very shy and she still get her a couple treats. Then she entertained our kitten for the rest of the drop in to get some energy out. Will be using her again!”
“debra was such a miracle. i needed a last minute sitter for my kitty and she made herself available. great communication. definitely would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I can remember. I grew up with at least 3-4 dogs in my household at all times, volunteered at the local animal shelter to help take care of the overflow of dogs, fostered a litter of puppies, and of course the occasional dog sitting for a neighbor or family friend. I am currently working 2 part time jobs at the moment, but they usually include short days and hours. I am mostly available from mid afternoon to nighttime on any given day, especially weekends! Schedule is subject to change weekly. I have a big kennel in my home if it’s ever needed. I also have plenty of toys, treats, and other equipment like poop bags, leashes, or harnesses.
About: I've owned pets my entire life. I have personal experience caring for a range of dogs from Mastiffs to chihuahuas. I also own 3 cats. I currently have a flex work schedule the allows me to leave work during the day or early if I need to check on animals! I live in a gated community, with a gated dog park across the street. My balcony is blocked off to prevent cats from jumping off.
“Tenay checked in with our cat daily and alert us to any issues immediately. And when we were worried about a possible weather or scheduling issue she made sure the cat had enough food in case she wouldn’t be able to get back.”
“Amazing sitter. Communicative, attentive, punctual and a real live Snow White. I had one of my cats pass away the day before she was to start her visits and it was breaking my heart to have to go in and remove him from the booking, she took charge and just did it for me. She just intuitively knew and I’m so thankful for that. I will absolutely use her anytime I have to go out of town again. I didn’t worry for a moment while I was gone. I just can’t say enough great things about her.”
“Thank you Emily for taking care of our kitties and treating them like they were your own! Emily provided amazing communication and awesome updates. I not once worried about my fur babies while I was out of town. Emily is awesome and I highly recommend!!”
“Brijaye showed up on time every day (weekday, weekend and holiday) and took great care of my 3 cats. I even saw them waiting by the door for her to arrive in the morning. She sent several pics each day and a little note about each one's behaviors (eating, hiding, etc). I highly recommend her and will definitely will plan to use her services again!”
“Karsyn kept in good contact in the days leading up to the scheduled meet and greet. She asked great questions and caught on very quickly to the commands we use and routines we follow. She showed confidence and kindness in her interactions with our Stella in her first solo drop in visit. We have and will book again with Karsyn.”
“Ross made drop-in visits for our kitties (2) while we were on vacation. Ross was very responsive to all communication from the beginning of this process, through our return. He sent photos of our kitties each day when he visited. We will likely hire Ross again to care for our cats when we leave town.”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life, mostly labs but have experience with other dog types as well. All dogs have a special place in my heart. I like to make your pet feel as if my home is their home as well. Any time your dog stays with me they will be treated just as I treat my own dog, with love, care, and compassion. I enjoy going on walks and would happy to take your dog on a neighborhood walk with me. I am happy to accommodate any other special requests you may have for your dogs visit. We have a dog park close by that I enjoy going to as well. Whether you are going out of town for a night or a week, I’d be happy to care for your pet My husband and I work Monday through Friday but have weekends and nights off. So your animal should be able to be alone for 8 hours. But on weekends and nights we enjoy going for walks or out to the dog park to exercise and play I have a fenced yard but dont leave animals outside by themselves. I will treat your dog just as I treat my own. I have a crate if your animal needs one it feels safer being in one.
“Shannon went above and beyond to care for our three cats while we were out of town for 2 long weeks. She made sure their litter boxes were clean and tidy, made sure they had food and water and loved on them. We were able to enjoy or trip knowing she was taking care of our kitties while we were away. Would 💯 recommend and hope to book with her again in the future.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Shenandoah
About: Dog lover of 27 years. I'm a stay-at-home mother to 3 beautiful babies and 2 fur babies. I am a total dog enthusiast. I love all things dog and am always happy to meet and love up on new fur pups. SPOILER ALERT: All fur babies will be spoiled rotten and living their best life! I am flexible with my availability and make it easy for my clients to book with me. I always give the best possible experience that I can. I love to provide fur parents with a way to keep their fur babies healthy, active and happy while they are away. I have a fenced-in backyard and a fenced-in patio (for the pups that love to be outside and bask in the sun). My home has doggie gates in every room to keep your fur babies safe and playmates in order. I treat every dog as my own and love to see them happy and well cared for.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old, and I also have a dog of my own (Millie:)) and my Shih Tzu baby Rico I’ve helped cared for back home. I give the same care , love , patience and attentiveness to every dog ! As I know it is important for your dog to feel safe and secure away from your home 💕 Since I do have a dog of my own , the necessities are apart of my everyday routine! I am in college full time however I am free everyday after 1pm . (Tuesdays , Thursdays and the weekend I am free all day:)) I am also very flexible so please don’t hesitate to ask questions ! Please note that I can not host more than one dog at a time due to me being a smaller space. Your fur baby will feel very comfy here ! My girl Millie has adapted to our relaxed routine which involves her feeding and bathroom schedule along play time and cuddles . We take trips to the public dog park as well as my apartment one. We also have plenty of play time inside . The same goes for your baby!
“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: 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.”
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: 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.
“I want to thank u so much jackpot has def learned good manners at your house he listens he is calmer just all around better behaved dog ! You're a blessing in so many ways ! 🐾💕”
About: Are you looking for someone who will care for your baby as well as you? Someone who gets animals on a special level. Someone who can bond and build trust w your pet & family? I've been in Pet care for 15 years. I've been with kittens as they were born and I've held an old dog as it took its last breaths. Been loving animals my entire life. I've added Rover to help reach more loving families in my town ❤️ as well as reach out to other communities I'm currently working Rover 100% of my time. If you need me to sit with your fur babe, I'll be there the entire time. Ill be reachable and able to answer questions the entire time. I am use to walking in the Alaskan and PNW weather, so taking them for walks is a definite YES. Louisiana is home and I'm so glad to be back and able to meet my southern four legged friends. I love to play with the dogs. We have such a wonderful understanding of eachother. I will be seen spending most of the time in the yard or playing inside with my furry friends.
“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!!”
“My experience with Robin was exceptional. I have used another sitter through Rover before and the experience was okay, but I noticed my puppy would come home very riled up and needing to immediately decompress. It often felt like I had to calm him down and get him back to his normal baseline. With Robin, the experience was completely different. When I picked him up, he was calm, relaxed, and acting exactly like he does at home. Even during the ride back, he settled into his crate and rested. That told me he was comfortable and well cared for during his stay. I was also a little nervous about having him around other dogs since he hasn’t spent a lot of time with other puppies. Robin was incredibly patient and reassuring. She allowed me to observe and helped me feel confident that he would be just fine, and he truly was. Another thing that stood out was how much my puppy liked her right away. As soon as he got out of the car, he was excited and curious about going inside, which meant a lot to me. I’m so glad I found Robin and truly look forward to working with her again. It’s clear my puppy felt safe and comfortable in her care.”
“Alex really helped us last minute and I could not be happier! Zeppelin had the BEST time and all the pictures from the day were so cute!!. I could not be happier with Alex and will definitely be rebooking!!!”
About: My dad is a veterinarian so I grew up surrounded by animals. I’ve had many pets throughout the years including turtles, chickens, rabbits and more. I’ve always loved being surrounded by and caring for animals. I currently have an 11 year old boxer and a young cat. I work for myself so I have the flexibility of making my own schedule and working from home during the week. I’m available for daycare or to leave my home as needed to provide walks and care for your pets! I have a spacious, fenced in yard so there’s plenty of room to run and play. My older dog is a sweetheart and a great companion to keep your fur babies company. My cat gets along great with other animals. He lives inside and out but mostly stays out.
“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.”
About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats my whole life. I have 3 fur babies who are spoiled and well-loved, Mylo the Siberian Husky (2 years old), Lily the sweet mix breed rescue (6 years old), and Baxter the Dachshund Beagle rescue (7 years old) and 1 fur nephew, Rufus the Corgi (3 years old) who frequently stays with his cousins and auntie to play. We love the dog park, long walks (Mylo especially), and couch snuggles/naps. They enjoy chasing each other in the backyard and to birdwatch/neighborhood watch from the living room windows. I have experience with many breeds and all ages. Having two rescues myself I am also comfortable with rescue dogs who may need more time to warm up and trust you. I also love cats and have always had one-I just don’t currently have one. Fur babies aren’t just pets-they are family. I work from home with a very flexible schedule. I am available for walks, drop ins, and boarding any day of the week or weekend. I can come to you! I have a fenced yard and 3 fur babies who are dog friendly and love to play! I am happy to use crates if that is preferred. While I don’t mind your dog staying here with us, I am also able to come to your dog in your home if that is more comfortable.

About: I have a long history of pet sitting for family and friends. I love giving pets and attention to my furry friends. I have two cats, but have a very soft spot for pups, too. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for walks during the day/ evening and for house sitting or check ins. I will treat your baby like they’re my own! I know they get sad when you’re away, so I am available for extra love and keeping things as normal as possible.
About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I can remember. I grew up with at least 3-4 dogs in my household at all times, volunteered at the local animal shelter to help take care of the overflow of dogs, fostered a litter of puppies, and of course the occasional dog sitting for a neighbor or family friend.

Schedule is subject to change weekly. I have a big kennel in my home if it’s ever needed. I also have plenty of toys, treats, and other equipment like poop bags, leashes, or harnesses.
About: I absolutely adore animals of all shapes and sizes! I personally have 2 dogs and a cat but I’ve had snakes, a chinchilla, rats, guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, among other family pets. I’ve never sought out an animal, I’ve only taken in animals when other people couldn’t continue caring for them. I adore any animal and love connecting with them. I also previously worked at Camp Bow Wow so I’ve worked with 100’s of dogs with different temperaments, personalities, and personal needs. While working there I had to give all sorts of meals and medicines. Everyday, I have to do basic pet tasks such as feeding, changing water, changing litter, and medications. I also walk my dogs multiple times a day. I follow any basic rules set out for me, i.e. diet, walk time, social time. They are the children of the owner and I understand they sometimes need special care or the pet and owner have a certain routine in place. But I have basic knowledge on plenty animals and can gladly care for them as if they are my own.
“Debra was excellent with my senior dog Henry. She was always on time, she was able to find a way to get him to eat breakfast and she gave regular updates. Highly recommend.”
“Kaylee was so amazing! She was reliable, kind and so great with coming to walk our pup twice a day while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. Will 100% be using Kaylee again in the future.”
“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.”
About: I have had and been around dogs my whole life. Friends and family have relied on me many times to watch and care for the dogs. I will give your pet constant love and support throughout our time together. Dogs are my absolute favorite! I currently work multiple part time jobs that I set my own schedules for so I am usually available at anytime of the day with a little advance notice. Evenings and nights are almost always free. Safety and trust is so important to me and that is my top priority when caring for your pet/home. After that, my goal is to be the best friend your pet has! I will give them plenty of attention and play with them as much or little as they like. Happy dogs make me happy!
“Lori is the best! I love hearing from her while I’m at work about her walks and playtime with my dog. I only needed her for a few weeks but she was reliable and really connected with my dog during that time. No complaints here - would highly recommend!”
About: I guess I would say what sets me apart from others is my attitude. I have a wonderful and positive attitude, especially around the animals and have taken care of quite a few different species of animals as well as helped to rescue some after storms and hurricanes. I am interested in this line of work because of My Love for animals, and just how crazy this world has gotten. I would much rather be with our furry friends than at/on any shop or work experience type environment. Currently, I do not work full-time. I’m looking to make this a full-time job/re-occurence, so that I can take care of, or look after your animal whenever is convenient for you. Thanks so much for including me in your pet(s) needs services. At my current home, I have a pretty large size fenced in backyard all the way around, and no holes/ways for any dogs to be able to get out. I also have a doggie door built in for animals to go through when it’s open (dogs, and cats that are able to use it). It is an extra large wide doggie door because I had a yellow lab and she was not small, so I’d gotten the biggest one that they had at the time, and installed it which is a plus for animals who can’t hold it, they can run outside to the backyard and use whenever they need to, which is a great perk. I do have one female cat currently (8 years old) and she is dog friendly. She has been through two separate dogs in the past, one being a German Shepherd, the other a yellow lab and now I have a 9 month ole adopted/rescue dog named Lumi. She is part Dalmatian, and part terrier mix. I promise if she (the cat) was able to withstand both of those two dogs always wanting to play with her and nudging her, then I’m pretty sure she can tolerate any dog. She is, and has been a great cat. Also at my house, I have a covered with blanket/sheet ottoman/foot rest that I allow the dog and cat to climb in and sleep on that your animal is welcome to use. Dogs and cats both can bring so much comfort and joy in a time of need, and for me that’s what it was at first, but now I just enjoy their company, cute faces, being able to talk to them, and give them love. I love to take care of them and treat them as any animal should be treated, the correct way. I will treat your animal with as much love and attention as I do my very own, and look forward to meeting both human and animal!!!
“Caitlin is what happens if Dr. Doolittle has a baby with Artemis, goddess of the hunt and then Jane Goodall mentors that baby to be a kind, knowledgeable, badass animal caretaker.She handled my two monsters like a boss, playing with them a while before leash training my wild puppy while also letting my old man puppy take much needed walking breaks to roll around and sniff. She gave prompt updates and lots of pictures (which I LOVED) and I intend to use her for all my dog walking in the future.”
About: Every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while their family is away. I take the time to learn each dog's routine, personality, and preferences so I can provide care that's consistent with what they're used to at home. I enjoy working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from playful puppies to relaxed seniors. Whether your dog loves long walks, games of fetch, or simply having someone keep them company, I'll make sure they receive patient, attentive care. I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout every visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I am currently working part time as an accountant and an assistant coach for the LSU track team. I also attend LSU Business College and am going into my sophomore year! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I'll carefully follow your care instructions, maintain your pet's normal routine, and make sure they have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of attention during every visit. I'll also send photo and message updates so you can feel confident knowing how your pet is doing while you're away. I'm respectful of clients' homes and always leave everything clean and secure before I leave.

About: I have had the privilege of growing up surrounded by animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to cows and beyond. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and that love and care extends to the pets I look after. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pet, and I’m here to offer a safe, loving, and attentive environment for them while you’re away. I currently have a dog who holds a very special place in my heart. He has some special needs, so I’m continually learning new ways to ensure he receives the best possible care. I’m comfortable administering medication and adjusting care routines to meet the specific needs of each pet, whether they’re young and active, senior and slow, or have unique health considerations. I work full-time Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 4 PM. On weekends, I’m usually fully available, and I can also meet in the evenings and mornings before work. When caring for pets in your home, I focus on providing a comfortable, safe, and consistent environment for your pets. I do this by following routines and maintaining a familiar space.

About: I am an experienced pet sitter providing dependable care, feeding, exercise, companionship, and stability to pets needing some extra care while their owner is away. I am dedicated to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work a very flexible job, so I am able to come to your pets at any time and enjoy spending time with them during the day! If a pet is in my home, I try to make them as comfortable as possible in a new environment. That includes a possible test visit (if wanted), and consistent updates to pet owners. If in a client home, I stick to the routine provided and ensure that the pets are safe and well cared for, and check in with pet owners consistently.
About: I have owned dogs my whole life, mostly labs but have experience with other dog types as well. All dogs have a special place in my heart. I like to make your pet feel as if my home is their home as well. Any time your dog stays with me they will be treated just as I treat my own dog, with love, care, and compassion. I enjoy going on walks and would happy to take your dog on a neighborhood walk with me. I am happy to accommodate any other special requests you may have for your dogs visit.

I will treat your dog just as I treat my own. I have a crate if your animal needs one it feels safer being in one.
About: Hello, my name is Ashley. I'm from Ohio and have been in Baton Rouge for the past 9 years. I've had dogs and other pets ever since I was born and have yet to meet a dog that I don't like. Recently, we bought our own home with a large yard. Its completely fenced in and in a nice neighborhood. My mini labradoodle, Peppa, loves its and goes out nearly every hour even if it's just to play. I am a stay at home mom of 5 children. They all love animals and have been taught how to behave around them. I require that any fur baby that I take in, have been around and did ok with a "human baby". Your pet will not be alone with my children, as a precaution, but its still important. I guarantee that I will treat any fur baby in my care as if it were my own. My job is to keep them as safe, comfortable, and happy as I possibly can. I am a fetch and belly rub professional. Looking forward to caring for your furry family member!

“Ella is like our child and we were nervous about leaving her for a week. Lauren and Cody treated Ella like a member of the family. We would absolutely trust them with our girl again. It was especially nice to have their children interact with Ella as she loves children.”
“Bradley graciously accepted a short notice booking for our dog Ghost. He was very communicative and responsive leading up to and throughout the boarding stay. Bradley’s dog Beaux is very sweet, gentle & got along well with Ghost. We 100% recommend Bradley for boarding.”
“Tracy was absolutely amazing with Rocky. She was so sweet and caring from the very beginning. She kept me updated the entire time, sending pictures and letting me know how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Rocky came back home calm, happy, and not nervous at all, that says everything. I’m truly grateful for how well she took care of him. Highly recommend her and would definitely trust her again with Rocky”
“Communicates well, his experience and knowledge helped me worry less about leaving Lumi for the first time. I received check-ins/update with how Lumi was adjusting. Lumi will definitely be boarding with Keith again.”
“Our dog Marley tends to be anxious in new situations since she was a shelter dog, but seemed comfortable in Amanda’s home the moment we walked in for drop off. It made me feel much better about leaving our newly adopted girl for over a week! She sent updates and pictures often while we were on vacation. Would not hesitate to use Amanda again for future dog sitting and will recommend her to my friends!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs through my previous work assisting a sitter on Rover. During that time, I helped with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure each dog felt safe and comfortable in their environment. I worked with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which taught me how to adjust my care to meet each animal's unique needs. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attention are when it comes to animals. Whether it's an energetic pup that needs extra playtime or a more relaxed dog that just wants companionship, I make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I'm also comfortable following specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special care requests. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being at all times. As a college student with a very flexible schedule, I'm able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. My availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays without feeling rushed. Because of this flexibility, I can adjust to your pet's routine and make sure they get consistent care, attention, and companionship whenever they need it. 1 understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always prioritize safety by staying attentive, following instructions carefully, and making sure pets are secure and comfortable in their environment. You can count on me to provide dependable, respectful care while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve.
“Emery was excellent! Exactly what I needed. I hired her to take my dog, Bella, to the daycare and walls while I was away on vacation for a week. She was flexible, punctual, communicated regularly, with a positive attitude. Bella responded well to her. I always felt she was safe and in good hands. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate on the daily walks, but that is not her fault. She did the best she could under the circumstances. I can confidently recommend her and will use her services again in the future.”
“We went on vacation for 4 days and we left our fur babies with Jena. She sent us an update and pictures daily. Anytime we checked in on them she was very primped to respond. I am vey satisfied with with her and will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you Jena for taking care of our fur babies.”

I have had all kinds of animals and I grew up with them I love them and I think they should be took care of when they owners are away and loved and played and watered and feed and walk when the owner is way . Your dogs will be took great care of and will be loved and played and you should not worry about they when you are away. Your dog will not be sad for one minute of their stay with me but they will be happy to see you when you are back to get them for me and I will be happy to see them again Pet care naturally fits into my routine because it’s already a part of my everyday life as a vet tech. I’m used to feeding schedules, medication times, cleaning, and monitoring animals throughout the day, so adding pet sitting into my weekly routine feels seamless. Whether it’s morning check-ins before work or evening visits after my shift, I make sure every pet gets consistent attention, care, and affection. I prioritize safety, trust, and consistency in every home I care for. With my vet tech experience, I follow structured routines, keep environments clean, secure doors and gates, and maintain each pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress. I monitor behavior and health closely, give medications correctly, and create a calm, comfortable space where pets feel safe and understood.
“Makayla was pleasant. She provided pictures while Bentley was in her care and was very responsive in answering questions (messages). I wasn’t sure how Bentley would do with other dogs but he was pictured with other dogs and that’s something that made me very happy to see. I will rebook with Makayla.”
“Elise was very professional yet warm and kind. I think our lab may have not wanted to come back home. I will definitely recommend Elise to anyone looking to get their best friend back in better condition than they were left. Will use here again in the future if she is available.”
“Hazel always seems to be so happy when she stays with Jennifer and her family. I know she gets plenty of love. She is always so tired when she gets home so I know she has a good time playing with her pups. If Jennifer is available, I will always use her. :)”
