Kelly was an excellent choice to watch Hoss for a couple of days while I was out of town. She was quick to respond and offered a very flexible schedule as it related to drop-off/pick-up options. We've already been in discussions for the next booking, would recommend.

Kenya took care of our Milo for 9 days while we were out of the country. And she was so awesome with him. She often sent us updates and pictures in regards to Milo while we were so far away. I really appreciated that so much! We will certainly book Kenya again! I wish I could give her more than 5-stars.

Julie was FANTASTIC!!! She was extremely communicative before and during the sitting, and was very generous and flexible with respect to dropoff and pickup times. We instantly felt at ease when we met Julie, and we were confident our pup would be in the most excellent and caring hands! It is evident that Julie loves dogs and is a natural with them. Our dog warmed up to her immediately! We especially appreciated the picture and video updates- it helped us so much while we were away missing our dog! We will absolutely use Julie again in the future and will recommend her to others we know!

About: I’ve been caring for animals from a very young age, growing up on a farm where tending to a wide variety of animals was part of my everyday life. That experience gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and the importance of consistent, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve become comfortable working with dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies who require patience and structure, to senior dogs who benefit from a gentler, more attentive approach. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs and am confident in following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. I’m especially mindful with anxious or shy dogs, taking the time to build trust and create a calm, reassuring environment so they feel safe and secure. I am currently working full-time less than 5 minutes from home. I feed my dogs and let them out around 7:00 am before work. My husband is home with our dogs until 2:00 pm before he leaves for work. I arrive home around 5:00 pm and I spend most of my evening in the backyard if possible. I have a fenced in yard and a basket full of toys. I have 2 dogs of my own that enjoy playing with others, so your pet is sure to be in good company.

About: I have had and taken care of pets of all kinds (but especially dogs) since I was very young! I’ve had experience with puppies, young dogs, and older dogs, male and female. Even now I help take care of relative’s dogs and I love it. I feed, watch, walk, and make sure they’re happy! I stay in good shape and walk / workout every day, so I am able to handle larger breeds if needed! I live near LSU lakes which is a great place for walking, I usually go around the lakes when I go for walks, so I am familiar with the area well. It’s a great experience for people and pets! I’m pretty flexible and usually available for any activities! I am going to be taking 2 online classes this summer which requires me to be home, it works out well to watch some sweet pups! I do not have any dogs or cats within my home currently. Any pet works just fine to be inside or outside! The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all fairly large open spaces and connected together.

This was my first time leaving Toto at home with anyone outside of family, and Lauren immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease knowing he was in good hands. She took great care of him, and Toto took to her right away, even laying on her and relaxing. It was clear he felt safe and happy. He spent the evening playing, cuddling, and getting plenty of rubs. I’m so grateful for the care she showed him and would absolutely trust her with Toto again.

I previously worked at a few state parks nearby. I love to be active and go for lots of walks. I’m just as happy to stay home and relax with your pet if that’s what they prefer. I did Rover throughout college and loved it so much! I love all animals and enjoy being around them.

With my flexible college schedule, I can do constant check in’s in the client’s home while also offering overnight stay if the client would rather that. I am also confident in my ability to make sure your pets follow their usual schedule, whether that be crate training or daily walks, because dogs operate best in their structural routine.

About: From horses, to dogs, cats, rabbits, and more, I have been around animals my entire life and honestly I'm not sure I'd do without them! In addition to having a love for animals, I have a passion for veterinary medicine and have been in the veterinary field for the last 13 years. Owners will have confidence and peace of mind that I am very familiar with animal behavior and can quickly assess any situation. If you are looking for someone who is great with communication, updates, and will treat your pet like their own, then I would love to give your fur baby a safe place to stay while you're away! **We do have a fully fenced yard and someone here at all times. **Board and train also available upon request. Aside from working 2-3 half day shifts at the the vet clinic, I do work around my barn from home and have ample amount of time to spend with both my pets and yours to make sure they are not alone for hours on end. My home is often called puppy heaven by clients and friends! I have several dog-friendly pups of my own that are off-leash trained and enjoy running and playing in my fenced yard of several acres. If your pup needs any special accommodations, daily meds, or needs to be hand walked, etc., health and safety is priority and I am happy to go above and beyond to make them feel at home!

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, including dog sitting for friends and neighbors and owning my own dog for the past six years. As a dog owner, I understand how stressful it can be when your dog is out of sight, so I closely supervise dogs at all times and do not allow off-leash activity or interactions with unfamiliar dogs. Safety and attentive care are always my top priorities. I work remotely during the day and attend school in the evenings, so I am only away from home for a short period, about three hours. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, timely walks, and attentive care throughout the day. I have a fenced yard and one dog in my home. Dogs are always closely supervised, kept on leash outside the yard, and never allowed to interact with unfamiliar dogs. Safety, structure, and consistency are my top priorities.

About: I've had dog(s) my entire life and have two perfect angels of my own now. I love playing, snuggling and spoiling all doggos. My sister is an experienced Vet Tech, and she's on call at all times in case anything were to go wrong. She also lives around the corner if a visit is needed. My yard is fenced in with a doggie door for true puppy freedom, and I'm within walking distance to the dog park. Growing up around tons of pets and veterinarians, I'm experienced in tendencies and temperaments of dogs and good about picking up on how they're feeling/reacting. From toys to treats to tummy rubs, I'll make your dog feel right at home! I can be as strict or as lenient on diet/exercise as you need. Your pup won't miss a beat!

Anika clearly cares so much about dogs. Before booking my dog in for daycare, she wanted to meet with us to see if our dogs were a good fit together. I really appreciated her taking the time to do that, because my dog is extremely playful and energetic and not all dogs can handle that! Knowing about a bad previous experience I had with a sitter, I feel like she took extra care to send me updates and pictures of Kaju to put me at ease. She went above and beyond in his care- taking him for walks, letting him play with her dog in the yard, and feeding him on time. I trust her completely to care for Kaju, and I know he trusts her too because he was able to take naps at her place (something that he is not always able to do due to trust issues). Anika is an exemplary dog sitter and we will be returning regularly!

About: We live in a 2nd-floor apartment that has 12 stairs leading up to it. I have had dogs in the home since the age of 2 and been a primary caregiver for my last 3 family dogs. My partner and I both love all dogs, especially larger breeds. We are experienced in basic leash and command training, basic medication administration, and house training. We firmly believe you can never have too many dogs around and would love to host your furry family member while you are away! We have a cat named Mitties who keeps to herself and tolerates her brother Lincoln as well as his friends who visit. Lincoln has never met another pup he didn't like. He loves to play and wrestle but also knows when it's time to give his friends space. He has regular interaction with dogs of all sizes and adjusts his play style accordingly. We are available for most weekends, and most weekdays from a week-to-week basis. Isaac works from home and is almost always around during the day to supervise! Dogs can be crated if needed over night or while we are away. Our dog Lincoln does not use a crate, however, so it is not necessary if your dog doesn’t usually use one either.

About: ✨✨ Independently Insured & Licensed ✨✨ 20 Years of Professional & Experienced Pet Care and House Sitting Services Specializing in Senior, Special Needs, and Multi-Pet Care with a Background in Veterinary Clinic Care & Animal Rescue (Fear Free Certification In Progress!) 🐶🐱🐰🐷🐔🐢🐠🐍🦎🐹 My name is Anna, and although I’m new to the Rover platform, I have professional experience working in vet clinics, rescues, and shelters, and I have more than 20 years of pet sitting and house sitting experience! I’ve dedicated my life to animals and have cared for countless animals of all kinds - dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, pigs, chickens, fish, snakes, lizards, turtles, and other exotics! After college, I gained even more professional experience beginning as a Kennel Technician before becoming a Veterinary Technician, Veterinary Surgical Technician, and eventually the Clinic Manager. After I left private veterinary practice to pursue a career in animal rescue, I served as the Manager of a successful nonprofit dog rescue. In this role, I coordinated with shelters, fosters, and adopters all while caring for 30 dogs per day and serving the public in order to rehome over 500 dogs per year. As part of my daily duties, I also arranged their veterinary care and monitored their recovery and overall wellbeing. When my own senior dogs required more care and medical attention, I pivoted to remote work with an in-home veterinary hospice service. In this role, I received emergency assessment training for many species in order to help pet parents ascertain if their pet needed emergency medical assistance. This afforded me the opportunity to hone my instincts about what constitutes an emergency, what to do in an emergency, and, more importantly, how to prevent emergencies. Throughout my career, I have remained dedicated to pets and animal welfare. I am always seeking out opportunities for continuing education, such as attending the Humane Society’s annual animal welfare conference or completing an apprenticeship at Austin Pets Alive!, or binge-watching animal training tutorials. In my personal life, I’ve had dogs, cats, reptiles and amphibians as pets ever since I was a child. As an adult, I was privileged to adopt a special needs dog named Fizzgig, who introduced me to the rewarding experience of caring for seniors. He changed my life and my heart forever, not to mention my career path. Since Fizz, I’ve had the privilege of caring for two other senior / special needs rescue dogs of my own, as well as fostering numerous seniors and special needs dogs. Though Fizzgig and my other senior have since crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I am still blessed with my 15 year old foster-fail, Sissy - the sweetest pitbull you’ll ever meet. She’s slowing down some, but she still loves her four walks a day, and she’s just a happy, playful, gentle goofball! I take pride in providing experienced, professional care, customized to your pet’s needs, and I always provide the same love and attention I’d want for my Sissy girl. You can trust that your pets will be well-cared for and well-loved with me, and I look forward to meeting y'all! SCHEDULE My day revolves around animals, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I provide pet care full time, so my availability is flexible enough to keep your pet’s routine. In other words, your pets come first! I will administer medications on schedule, and if needed, I can also expertly coordinate care with others, including a groomer or veterinarian. I'm also comfortable monitoring animals in recovery. For vacation care, I generally prefer to schedule a minimum of three potty breaks a day not only to ensure your pet’s comfort, exercise, and stimulation, but also to preserve the dignity of your home. SERVICES Generally, I petsit by referral only to ensure I work with animal lovers whose pets are well-cared for, but a couple of my senior pet clients have crossed the rainbow bridge so I have a little more availability than usual and decided to make a Rover profile. Though my account is on the newer side, I have beaucoup references from current and former clients available upon request. I typically provide care in the client’s home to maintain routine and consistency for your pet(s), and I am currently offering drop-in visits and walks through the Rover platform. I provide boarding and doggy day care in my home and overnight care in the pet's home on a case by case basis, provided your pet gets along with my Sissy girl (you can find her bio on my profile) As Sissy and your pet’s safety is my top priority, our pets would need to meet first to ensure they are a good fit. If you require a service I'm not currently offering, please do not hesitate to reach out :)

About: With a background in caring for dogs from a family breeder, I understand the unique needs of puppies and adult dogs alike. I’ve helped raise litters, manage feeding schedules, and ensure safe socialization in a home environment. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, grooming, or adhering to specific routines, I prioritize your pet’s health, happiness, and comfort. What I Offer: ✔️ Breeder-Level Care: Experience with puppies, including crate training, potty routines, and early socialization. ✔️ Tailored Attention: Comfortable following detailed care instructions (diet, exercise, medications). ✔️ Safe & Loving Environment: Your dog’s well-being is my top priority—no detail is overlooked! I’m passionate about treating every pet like family and providing updates so you’re always in the loop. Let’s chat about how I can support your furry friend! My availability for pet care is centered around my days off—Thursday through Saturday—where I provide dedicated, all-day support for walks, playtime, or overnight stays. While I typically work overnight shifts Sunday through Wednesday (7:30 PM–6:00 AM), I can also accommodate flexible Sunday bookings before my shift begins, such as morning walks or midday check-ins. This schedule allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs with undivided attention during my free days, ensuring they receive consistent care and companionship. Having worked with family breeders, I understand the importance of routine and am committed to tailoring visits to your pet’s unique schedule, whether it’s a quick potty break or a weekend-long adventure! As a devoted pet mom to two pitbulls, I understand the importance of routine, safety, and personalized attention. In my own home, I prioritize structured feeding times, daily exercise tailored to energy levels, and crate training (if needed), all while fostering a calm, loving environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I mirror this approach by respecting their space and routines—whether it’s sticking to specific diets, administering medications, or maintaining play and walk schedules. My experience with strong, energetic breeds like pitbulls has taught me to read body language carefully, ensure secure environments, and provide patient, positive reinforcement. I treat every home with the same care as my own, sending regular updates and photos so you feel connected while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and trust are my top priorities, no matter where we are!

About: I have 2 dogs. A Labmix and Siberian Husky. I have taken care of my dogs since they were puppies. We love to play and go for long walks, sit around, relax and do tricks for fun. The care I provide will depend on the dog’s needs. I am willing to work with any dogs. I’m calm around dogs. I knows what dogs think before they do. I know what they would want. Knowing when they don’t want to be bothered is a key factor in caring for dogs. You want to build trust so you’ll be able to form that unbreakable bond. I’m firm when my dogs want something that they know they should not have. I can be reliable when needed the most. I can travel to you when needed. Also I just genuinely love animals. I currently work in the morning and go to school twice a week. I’m able to do whatever it is needed for your fur babies. I will do everything that the clients request to provide the upmost service as possible and will provide additional love and care while providing requested services.

I'm more than confident in my ability to care for your pup! I'm a part-time worker with a very flexible schedule. I'm available during mornings and evenings but completely available during the weekend. However, I'm always willing to work around your schedule. I have a friendly Siberian Husky I care for on my own. He is crate-trained but he is well-behaved enough to roam freely in my space. I take him on walks twice a day on the trail around my apartment complex. My Husky has been raised around all kinds of dogs and is very adaptable to strangers.

About: Having four dogs of my own and dog-sitting since I was 15 years old, I’ve never met a pet I didn’t love. I hope to help you and your pets by offering safe and dependable care that meets the owner’s satisfaction while also helping with other household chores while the family is away. From now until August 15, I am flexible all throughout the week. Once I start college, I will be free to house and dog sit in homes during weekends or overnight during the week. I will also have some availability for dog walking through the week. With my flexible college schedule, I can do constant check in’s in the client’s home while also offering overnight stay if the client would rather that. I am also confident in my ability to make sure your pets follow their usual schedule, whether that be crate training or daily walks, because dogs operate best in their structural routine.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, and I’ve also fostered through Companion Animal Alliance, which has given me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, backgrounds, and temperaments. From shy rescues to energetic pups, I know how to make every dog feel safe, loved, and understood. I’m also a dedicated graduate student studying Speech Pathology, which means I’m naturally patient, detail-oriented, and excellent at communication. My schedule allows me to be reliable and consistent, and I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own. Ultimately, I strive to create a safe, loving, and individualized experience for every pet. Your furry family member will always get my full attention, compassion, and care. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I make time for it every day. As a grad student, my schedule is flexible enough for walks, drop-ins, and consistent check-ins and boardings. I plan my day around a pet’s normal routine so they always feel comfortable and cared for. My experience fostering has taught me how to balance school and pet needs without ever feeling rushed. Your pet will always get steady attention, patience, and plenty of love. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine so I can keep things consistent and comfortable for them. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely—feeding, walks, meds, and favorite activities—so their pet feels secure in their own space. I keep everything clean, calm, and stress-free, just like you’d expect if you were home. If I’m caring for a pet in my own space, I make sure they have a safe, cozy area, plenty of attention, and a good balance of play and rest. No matter where I’m caring for them, their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first.

Kenya took care of our Milo for 9 days while we were out of the country. And she was so awesome with him. She often sent us updates and pictures in regards to Milo while we were so far away. I really appreciated that so much! We will certainly book Kenya again! I wish I could give her more than 5-stars.

Julie was FANTASTIC!!! She was extremely communicative before and during the sitting, and was very generous and flexible with respect to dropoff and pickup times. We instantly felt at ease when we met Julie, and we were confident our pup would be in the most excellent and caring hands! It is evident that Julie loves dogs and is a natural with them. Our dog warmed up to her immediately! We especially appreciated the picture and video updates- it helped us so much while we were away missing our dog! We will absolutely use Julie again in the future and will recommend her to others we know!

About: I’ve been caring for animals from a very young age, growing up on a farm where tending to a wide variety of animals was part of my everyday life. That experience gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and the importance of consistent, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve become comfortable working with dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies who require patience and structure, to senior dogs who benefit from a gentler, more attentive approach. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs and am confident in following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. I’m especially mindful with anxious or shy dogs, taking the time to build trust and create a calm, reassuring environment so they feel safe and secure. I am currently working full-time less than 5 minutes from home. I feed my dogs and let them out around 7:00 am before work. My husband is home with our dogs until 2:00 pm before he leaves for work. I arrive home around 5:00 pm and I spend most of my evening in the backyard if possible. I have a fenced in yard and a basket full of toys. I have 2 dogs of my own that enjoy playing with others, so your pet is sure to be in good company.

About: I have had and taken care of pets of all kinds (but especially dogs) since I was very young! I’ve had experience with puppies, young dogs, and older dogs, male and female. Even now I help take care of relative’s dogs and I love it. I feed, watch, walk, and make sure they’re happy! I stay in good shape and walk / workout every day, so I am able to handle larger breeds if needed! I live near LSU lakes which is a great place for walking, I usually go around the lakes when I go for walks, so I am familiar with the area well. It’s a great experience for people and pets! I’m pretty flexible and usually available for any activities! I am going to be taking 2 online classes this summer which requires me to be home, it works out well to watch some sweet pups! I do not have any dogs or cats within my home currently. Any pet works just fine to be inside or outside! The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all fairly large open spaces and connected together.

This was my first time leaving Toto at home with anyone outside of family, and Lauren immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease knowing he was in good hands. She took great care of him, and Toto took to her right away, even laying on her and relaxing. It was clear he felt safe and happy. He spent the evening playing, cuddling, and getting plenty of rubs. I’m so grateful for the care she showed him and would absolutely trust her with Toto again.

JC was so great! My dog can be a bit of a stinker with other dogs when things don’t go her way. A minor issue happened, JC reached out instantly and let me know. She mentioned that she understood if I felt more comfortable coming to pick her up but also said that she would like to give her another chance as she was confident what caused the issue and could prevent it from happening another time..and she did! I will definitely be using her again. Would highly recommend!

About: I have grown up raising pets of all kinds. I have many years of experience with animals, owning multiple cats and dogs. Not only that, but I am familiar with many different breeds of dogs, ranging from labs and german shepherds to bassets and pugs. I know how to take care of and have fun with any pet. I am currently in school so I'll have plenty of time to watch your babies after school and on weekends. I am currently available from 2:30 to 10 on weekends and 5 to 10 on weekdays. I have a fenced yard with grass and plenty of space for your pups to play. They would be allowed in any part of my house, so you don't have to worry about them being cooped up in the winter.

About: With a background in caring for dogs from a family breeder, I understand the unique needs of puppies and adult dogs alike. I’ve helped raise litters, manage feeding schedules, and ensure safe socialization in a home environment. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, grooming, or adhering to specific routines, I prioritize your pet’s health, happiness, and comfort. What I Offer: ✔️ Breeder-Level Care: Experience with puppies, including crate training, potty routines, and early socialization. ✔️ Tailored Attention: Comfortable following detailed care instructions (diet, exercise, medications). ✔️ Safe & Loving Environment: Your dog’s well-being is my top priority—no detail is overlooked! I’m passionate about treating every pet like family and providing updates so you’re always in the loop. Let’s chat about how I can support your furry friend! My availability for pet care is centered around my days off—Thursday through Saturday—where I provide dedicated, all-day support for walks, playtime, or overnight stays. While I typically work overnight shifts Sunday through Wednesday (7:30 PM–6:00 AM), I can also accommodate flexible Sunday bookings before my shift begins, such as morning walks or midday check-ins. This schedule allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs with undivided attention during my free days, ensuring they receive consistent care and companionship. Having worked with family breeders, I understand the importance of routine and am committed to tailoring visits to your pet’s unique schedule, whether it’s a quick potty break or a weekend-long adventure! As a devoted pet mom to two pitbulls, I understand the importance of routine, safety, and personalized attention. In my own home, I prioritize structured feeding times, daily exercise tailored to energy levels, and crate training (if needed), all while fostering a calm, loving environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I mirror this approach by respecting their space and routines—whether it’s sticking to specific diets, administering medications, or maintaining play and walk schedules. My experience with strong, energetic breeds like pitbulls has taught me to read body language carefully, ensure secure environments, and provide patient, positive reinforcement. I treat every home with the same care as my own, sending regular updates and photos so you feel connected while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and trust are my top priorities, no matter where we are!
