Personalized care for your dog or cat - Slaughter
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Slaughter
“I had an amazing experience with Nicolette, her and her husband watched over Ricky for a week and he had a blast! They not only were very accommodating of a last minute boarding due to my previous boarding falling through, but watched out for him during a hurricane as well! I would highly recommend them for any of your dog sitting needs, they were friendly, communicative, and a great value on top of that. Can’t wait to book the next stay for Ricky with them again!”
“Jennifer took such great care of my pups during their 8 day stay! This was our first trip away from them and we knew they were in great hands based on our previous daycare experiences with her. She sent us pictures and videos, kept us updated, and was always available. She is fantastic with anxious dogs (my boy is scared of everything) and treats them all like her own. She’s awesome and our #1 sitter from now on!”
“Jena was awesome took amazing care of my fur babies. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and safe environment for your fur babies. She’s awesome!! I will definitely book with her again!”
“First time using Rover and I found the app easy to search for finding a sitter. I loved Angela C for taking such good care of my fur baby! She stayed in touch and sent pictures to me every few days! She was very consciencous about making sure he got all his meds. What a relief to know he was taken such good care of and joined her own dogs. THANKS ANGELA”
“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”
“Lauren and Cody are the best. Our dogs love them and the kids so much. I’m so glad we have someone we trust to leave them with when we can’t bring them with us, it makes traveling a lot more relaxing.”
“Keith was awesome! Only second time leaving our 3 YO Jack Russell “Barney” with anyone, first time with a stranger. He has always slept with us ( I know I Know) and I wasn’t sure how that would work out. Turns out Barney enjoyed sleeping with Keith’s pack and made it through the night. We will definitely board with Keith again.”
“Courtney was great with our puppy. We were hesitant leaving him anywhere because he is so young and we have only had him for 4 weeks, but Courtney made us feel comfortable about leaving him. We got pics daily and I knew my puppy was in good hands. We will definitely be using Courtney again!”
“It is without hesitation that I recommend Jason as your pet sitter. He cared for my 8 month old’ Cavapoo, Willeaux, for a 8 nights while I was away. Initially I was concerned leaving Will because she was still a puppy and had never been boarded. Jason was recommended by a family friend and this helped ease my worry. Jason confidently took Will under his care and loved her just I do. Willeaux is extremely affectionate and loves to be with humans. Jason took this on and made sure she got her daily and nightly snuggles. He stayed in touch by sending texts and pictures daily. He responded almost instantaneously when I sent him an inquiry. I most certainly will hire Jason again for Willeaux.”
“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.”
“Alayja was an amazing sitter. Even with our dog being nervous for his first visit she made sure he was comfortable and took care of him as if her own. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the stay and even gave him a bath before returning.”
“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.”
“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”
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.
“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”

“We’ve booked with Michelle for years now, and each time she’s always been an absolute rockstar in every way — and this time was no different! She loves animals of all kinds, enjoys taking care of furbabies, and deeply cares for them and makes sure that all of their needs are met. I’d easily give a rating higher than 5/5 if I could! 🙏”

“David & Lauren were great! The house sat for 5 nights and took great care of my two kitties. They were very responsive, sent photos/ videos, and even washed the bedding before they left! The next time I need a sitter they will be my first choice, I would recommend them to anyone.”
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 am a natural animal lover! I have 2 medium-large dogs names Tucker and Maggie and a 4 year old cat named Leo. All of my animals love one another and my cat gets along great with dogs! We love playtime! We do weekly trips to the dog park, run and play in the yard, and snuggle inside by the fire (when its cold). I've been an animal lover my entire life and would love to have your little (or big) one in my home to play with us! Both of my dogs get along very well with other dogs! I am very flexible with time. I work from 6:30-3pm and am free on weekends. I can board animals, pet sit, do drop in visits or just take your pup for a play time at the dog park!
“She was a amazing cat sitter and she came back feed and ready to face the world 100/100 will try her again... The constant updated made us feel connected even when we were away.. SHE IS THE ONE!!!! Thanks for all you do..”
About: I have experience with cats, reptiles, and dogs. I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs and their care, as well as skittish dogs, and normal pups. As I am a small person, I cannot walk untrained giant breed dogs unfortunately, but I can more than happily dog sit and do drop in care! I love animals of all types and find great joy in caring for animals. I've worked with senior dogs, new born puppies, older puppies, rescue dogs, neglected dogs, and longtime family pups. I have experience with all sorts of cats, from skittish to cuddle bugs. I have some experience with training and find joy in helping dogs reach their best potential and learn new tricks. I've been caring for animals since I was at least 13 years old and intend to long into my future.
“Olivia did an outstanding job with our labs. She came over for a pre-visit to get to know them and we knew immediately it was a perfect fit! She interacted with our VERY active boys and they were sad to see her leave. She was very professional, arrived on time, and went above and beyond of what was asked of her. Would definitely recommend.”
“Kristin took wonderful care of our pets when we had to go out of town at the last minute. She went above and beyond for us - we will definitely use her again in the future! We would also recommend her to anyone looking for a good sitter!”
“Ms. Jamryiah was very kind and patient with both me and my dog. I was initially nervous about allowing someone into my home and trusting them to care for my dog, but she did an excellent job. She communicated effectively throughout the process, and my dog truly enjoyed his time with her. I highly appreciate her professionalism and care.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Slaughter
“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 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: I have cared for my own dogs since I was very little, and I currently have three at home! I value play time and fun experiences for your pups! Reliability, accuracy, patience, and trustworthiness is a guarantee! I am currently a student at LSU. I have classes every weekday from mid-mornings to afternoons. On most weekends I’m free to provide care anytime. Overall, communication with the parents about what their pets needs is the most important step in giving excellent pet care. I can ensure that any pet under my wing will be safe and happy.
“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: 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!
“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.
“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.”
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.
“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 family and I have always had multiple dogs raised from puppies to full grown dogs that I helped to care for.

I have one friendly dog that loves furry company. I can accommodate needs of sitting location, depending on client’s preference. I have toys, crates, treats and dog beds to ensure comfort and needs are met.

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.

“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’m an animal lover through and through! Hopefully one day soon, a professional pup groomer☺️ and I would love to spend time with your fur babies!!

I am able to give love and care to all ranges from young to seasoned, big to small, & shy to overjoyed. I work full-time as a Vet Tech at a local veterinary office. I'm usually fully available anytime after 6p, my mornings varies; occasionally I work 9a- 6p, while others I'm either off or work 1p - 6p. I like to follow your schedule and routine as close as possible. I want to ensure your pet is comfortable and feels as if nothing has changed. (minus a new person in the house)
About: I have owned a pet since I was 11 years old. I also have enjoyed rescuing street animals. My first dog was a border collie. I loved training my border collie and going for walks with him! Weekends are always best. I can arrange same day service. I also can bring my own leash and water for the pet when out walking. I prefer to walk pets and care for pets in their home environment or in the community. I rather have the owners suggest the activity thr pet would enjoy.
About: I have experience with cats, reptiles, and dogs. I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs and their care, as well as skittish dogs, and normal pups. As I am a small person, I cannot walk untrained giant breed dogs unfortunately, but I can more than happily dog sit and do drop in care! I love animals of all types and find great joy in caring for animals. I've worked with senior dogs, new born puppies, older puppies, rescue dogs, neglected dogs, and longtime family pups. I have experience with all sorts of cats, from skittish to cuddle bugs. I have some experience with training and find joy in helping dogs reach their best potential and learn new tricks. I've been caring for animals since I was at least 13 years old and intend to long into my future.
About: I am a Least intrusive minimally aversive dog trainer, and AKC evaluator. I foster with multiple rescues. I have experience working with all types of dogs. I am very knowledgeable on dog body language, behavior, and genetics. You can also visit us on instagram for pictures of past and current boarding pups, and don’t forget to send us a message on Instagram with the word “Rover” to unlock an exclusive discount Avalon.k9s I have a flexible schedule as I work for myself, I spend my free time training dogs, and when I’m busy I’m also training dogs. I have a whole room in my house dedicated to dogs, but they’re welcome anywhere in the house, I have a fenced in yard and I’m located close to some lakes. I have tons of unique enrichment opportunities for your pups, including things like snuffle mats, puzzles, kongs, and more. My house is puppy proofed, because I often foster and train dogs! Being a multiple dog household I cannot board any dog with same sex aggression, human aggression, or idiopathic aggression, and reactive dogs will be a case by case basis, However, being a trainer I am more than open to help families work through these issues. Please let me know of any medical conditions or allergies! I like to use treats when working with dogs, so I recommend bringing some yummy high value treats so their tummy doesn’t get upset! If you are interested in dog training and would like to do a Board & Train contact me for more details! I also offer training packages during boarding, so if you want your pup to work on some basic obedience feel free to ask for more info!
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!
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!

I have a fenced in yard for dogs to run around in plus full access to the sofa for cuddles and cool down time. I have a crate available if it is needed as well.
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 always had animals, especially dogs growing up. I have experience with senior dogs as we have one at present. A part schnauzer, "Betty" who is very spoiled. We have been boarding/pet sitting dogs for about 3 years now. We have a very large yard, total of 7 acres, with a large portion of it fenced in. They have plenty of room to roam amd will get play time often as my children love dogs also. Someone is always at home so your furbaby wont be alone much if at all. We would love the opportunity to meet and love your fur baby and thank you for considering us. I work part time nights and my teenage daughter is homeschooling so someone is always at home. We are a very physically active household so your furbaby will get lots of play/walk time if needed. I have a large fenced yard and one indoor dog that will keep your dog company. If your furbaby needs to be crated at night we can do that but most usually just sleep with the kids or on the couch.

“Jennifer took such great care of my pups during their 8 day stay! This was our first trip away from them and we knew they were in great hands based on our previous daycare experiences with her. She sent us pictures and videos, kept us updated, and was always available. She is fantastic with anxious dogs (my boy is scared of everything) and treats them all like her own. She’s awesome and our #1 sitter from now on!”
“Jena was awesome took amazing care of my fur babies. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and safe environment for your fur babies. She’s awesome!! I will definitely book with her again!”
“Lauren and Cody are the best. Our dogs love them and the kids so much. I’m so glad we have someone we trust to leave them with when we can’t bring them with us, it makes traveling a lot more relaxing.”
“Keith was awesome! Only second time leaving our 3 YO Jack Russell “Barney” with anyone, first time with a stranger. He has always slept with us ( I know I Know) and I wasn’t sure how that would work out. Turns out Barney enjoyed sleeping with Keith’s pack and made it through the night. We will definitely board with Keith again.”
“Courtney was great with our puppy. We were hesitant leaving him anywhere because he is so young and we have only had him for 4 weeks, but Courtney made us feel comfortable about leaving him. We got pics daily and I knew my puppy was in good hands. We will definitely be using Courtney again!”
“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.”
“Alayja was an amazing sitter. Even with our dog being nervous for his first visit she made sure he was comfortable and took care of him as if her own. She sent us pictures and videos throughout the stay and even gave him a bath before returning.”
“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.”
“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”
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.
“Super flexible with drop-off and pick up when my plans changed around some expected bad weather. Sent me pictures during the stay, and my dog seemed to have a great time!”
“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!”
“If you love your dog and want them to have the best possible care I fully recommend choosing Alex and her husband they did a fantastic job. My dog Domino had the time of his life and I couldn't thank them enough. I got photos and videos of my dog just having a ball playing with their dogs.”
“I can’t say enough about Emily! She watched both of my pups while I was away on vacation and they were sooo loved! She sent lots of pictures and updates. Will definitely be boarding with her in the future.”
“Shayna took Zoey as a last-minute request and did a great job. She integrated Zoey with her family and two young kids, so that was very much appreciated as felt more like being part of a family experience than in a kennel. She sent photos and communicated on a regular basis which was appreciated as well.”
“Emery & Will were great. Emery put me at ease with this first visit. I appreciated all the messages and videos of Razi. Emery was super responsive. Loved the big yard for the dogs to play in!”
“Chelsy was able to take my dog super last minute to board and was super helpful with pickup and dropoff! Chai loved her and I think she had a great time with Chelsy! I was also sent pictures and videos throughout her stay. Would recommend to anyone needing a dog to be boarded!”
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.
“Last second searching for a sitter and came across Margaret's profile and as detailed as her profile was she was just as thorough with taking care of our Bruno. Consistent updates and I'm glad I found her.”
