“Dalia was wonderful!! She sent me pictures everyday and messaged me without me having to ask about my dog! Such a sweet lady!! I will definitely continue to book her!”
“We love Nicole watching our Siberian Husky! We had a slight emergency, in which we had to extend our dog's stay.. Nicole was more than willing to accommodate us and went above and beyond to help us out. She's constantly sending us updates about her dog as well as fun pictures of her playing with Nicole's dogs. I cannot recommend Nicole's services enough, and my only regret is that I cannot leave more than 5 stars!”
“Cheryn was amazing! You could immediately tell she was really caring and passionate about dogs. Huey had a great time and we loved the great communication and pictures. Highly recommend Cheryn!”
“Maria was amazing! So flexible, communicative and kind. She was very responsive and sent some adorable pictures of Sancho. Her dog Lefty is very sweet and friendly and Sancho had a great time staying with them! I would highly recommend her services!”
“Jessica is outstanding in her quality & care that she gives to the fur babies she cares for. It was our fur baby first time being away from us and I think we were both a little nervous, but Jessica went above and beyond to comfort and reassure us. She is truly one of a kind when it comes to pet care. Thank you so much Jessica. Highly recommend! 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can't recommend Desirae enough! She was incredibly easy to communicate with, had such a calm and trustworthy demeanor, and was very professional and thorough throughout Charlotte's stay. She even fit Charlotte into her schedule when she didn't have to, which I truly appreciated. She went above and beyond in every way—even giving Charlotte a bath before I picked her up! I received daily videos, prompt responses to every message and check-in, and it was obvious Charlotte was having a wonderful time. She kept her entertained, happy, and well cared for the entire stay. This was a 10/10 experience from start to finish. Knowing Charlotte was in such great hands allowed me to truly relax while I was away. I highly recommend Desirae to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and exceptional dog sitter!”
“Shannon was amazing! She took great care of our dogs, was very kind and communicative, and sent us plenty of updates. Would highly recommend and would book with her again.”
“Amazing first Rover experience with Natasha! She met us and our Sadie Bug first on a virtual meet and greet, which we really appreciated. She accommodated us with drop off and pick up times that worked for my husband, as I was already in another state. She sent pictures and text messages to keep us informed and let us see that Sadie Bug was doing well. When my was loading Sadie’s belongings into the car at pickup, Sadie was happy in Natasha’s arms. That told me everything! 100% recommend this wonderful person! ❤️”
“Jas was just perfect for my Percy. She took great care of my Percy like she was her own. My dog felt very much at home with Jas and that’s what makes it so nice and special”
“Blair was great with my 2 little ones, and Cody was really happy and friendly too. She updated me with pictures and even let them sleep on her bed. She followed their special feeding instructions to the detail. My babies were not stressed out at all and seemed at ease when I picked them up. Thanks so much, til next time!”
“Mike was great!! He sent lots of pics and videos to let me know how she was doing which really eased my mind since it was the first time she had stayed with him. Will definitely have him care for Jenna again”
“I highly recommend Iryna for dog sitting! She took good care of my dog for 5 nights and kept me updated me the whole time. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Jon took amazing care for Panfila. She came back home with a wagging tail and was very happy to stay with him. Jon is very attentive and really caters to each dog individually. Look forward to leaving her with him in the future.”
“Michael was accessible, flexible, and provided short term specific dog sitting services that fit my needs perfectly. I would gladly recommend him to anyone visiting the New Orleans area with a dog. I could not have been happier.”
“Natalie really goes out of her way to make you and your pet a priority. We have a senior dog who recently lost her sister and suffers a bit of separation anxiety, not to mention our own. Natalie stayed in touch throughout the day, providing pics and updates about how our girl was doing. She honestly made us so comfortable through our first trial overnight and we will definitely be using her again.”
“Ellen was so amazing! Our pups were really well cared for and she was very flexible with drop off/pick up with me. Both pups came home happy and nice and exhausted from all the playing and outdoor time! She’s also very good at responding and sent a lot of pics for me. Would definitely use her again.”
“Rachel and Michael were wonderful! They took care of Missy over the holidays and clearly gave her a lot of love! They send sweet pictures and or videos daily. They were extremely responsive and reliable. They set up Missy for success by scheduling a meet and greet for our pups before the boarding period. They were also super flexible. My flight back to the city was canceled and I last minute needed an extra day of care for Missy and they accommodated this last minute change which was very kind. Overall, I felt relaxed and reassured in my travels knowing Missy was being cared for by Rachel and Michael!”
“Percy kept my pups Enzo and Marley I will 100% be booking with him again!! He was very easy to get in touch with and kept me updated on how my babies were doing daily. I know they were treated like family!!”
“Leah took great care of our sweet old lady! She provided pictures and updates and it was obvious Lilly was happy and comfortable there when I came to pick her up. 10 out of 10 and will definitely book Leah again in the future! Thank you!”

About: I have some prior pet care experience-such as cleaning messes, feeding, bathing, and handling excrements. Smelly, loud, and nosey felines and canines don’t phase me. I have a soft spot for senior fur babies. I work full time during the week. Weekday availability would vary from week to week. However, I am free to do check-ins and walks on weekend mornings and afternoons. Creating a safe space and building trust among pet and pet owner is my top priority. I am always one to ask questions when needed. I would always handle animals the way their pet parents ask of me- as you know your pet best. Creating a list or writing notes on what is expected is greatly appreciated.
“This was our first time using Rover and it was great. Caitlin was stellar, a true pet whisperer, who sent reassuring texts, pics, video of our cat that were greatly appreciated. Yay! Happy cat and happy owners! Thank you, Caitlin!!!”

About: I have taken care of friends and partner's cats for many years! I am seen as the reliable cat sitter when someone goes out of town. I became more of a cat person in college while taking care of roommate's absolutely adorable one eyed calico.
“Christina is the best! I know that three dogs can intimidate most people but her gentle and understanding attitude put my babies at ease instantly upon meeting. She shared many pictures with me of my babies and you could tell that they were comfortable and happy with her company. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve had cats since I was a child and have pet sit for over 12 years for others. I can handle litterbox maintenance, wet or dry food, meds, etc! Whether your cats are cuddlers, playful, or solitary I’d be happy to watch them and ensure they’re having a good time while you’re away!
“Easy communication! Sarah was great with my kitties, she went above and beyond! She also made sure they were safe when she encounter some glass on the floor! Thank you Sarah!”
“Victoria took great care of my cats while I was away! She was communicative, prompt, and sents lots of pictures. She even troubleshot an error message my automatic litter box was giving and got it back working. Thank you, Victoria!”
About: Having grown up with 9 cats of my own, I understand that every cat has a unique personality, from energetic kittens to quiet seniors. I have 4 years of experience providing gentle, attentive in-home cat care. Whether your cat loves play sessions with feather wands or prefers quiet companionship while lounging nearby, I adapt to their comfort level. I am reliable, calm, and dedicated to keeping your cats safe, happy, and well cared for while you are away.
“Highly recommend Cortney for any drop-in needs! She checked in on our kitten while we were out of town over three days, and did a wonderful job keeping us updated, sharing pictures, etc. She is a great communicator, trustworthy, and very thoughtful in her messages. We will use her again in the future!”

“Reached out to Nicole this morning to see if she would be able to watch my fur baby for the day. Nicole promptly responded that she could. I appreciate her so much and the care that she gives my pup. The updates throughout the day that she provides makes me feel so good about my pup being in her care. My pup is worn out by the time she gets home, so I know that she enjoys her time with Nicole.”
“Always great to bring Hazel to Jessica. I never doubt or worry if Hazel is having a good time. And for spa day I never doubt that Hazel will come back clean and smelling great! Best Dog sitter my dog ever experienced!”
“This is my dog’s 3rd visit with Etta. She is the best. She goes above and beyond. I broke one of the handles off my dog’s bag and she sewed it on without me even asking or knowing she could sew. She even reinforced the other strap so that wouldn’t break off. Thank you!!!”
“Braelynn was wonderful. She took special care of our elderly dog, Trixie, who has a a hard time walking,, and sent photos of our dogs. Braelynn even recommended dog friendly restaurants,in the area, for us. Thank you, Braelynn.”
“Ellen is one of the best. She took loving daycare of Charley and was so good at keeping in touch with photos! My upcoming trip will be so much less stressful knowing Charley is with her when I'm away.”
“Michael is awesome! He loved & pampered our two little guys (an oversized pom & a papillion). We left them with him for 6-9 hours daily while helping my daughter move to an apartment in French quarter. We collected them in the evening & they were happy, fed & tuckered out from an active day of loving. If you’re anywhere near the French quarter of NOLA, Michael’s the man! Just hope he’s available when we visit NOLA again!”
About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals over the past few years! neighbors, friends, and family. making sure their pets are fed, walked and groomed and safe! I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! We love to play and snuggle up with ours and yours would feel right at home! I have a fenced in backyard that we like to play in, and a nice cooled off house we like to relax in! We make sure our pets are always fed, watered and taken care of!
About: I provide attentive, individualized care designed to keep your pet’s routine as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away. In addition to home boarding and daycare, I have hands-on experience providing dog walks and drop-in care for dogs of different sizes, energy levels, personalities, and leash habits. I’m comfortable walking large dogs and dogs that pull, and I pay close attention to each dog’s pace, surroundings, body language, and individual needs. Because I work from home and intentionally keep my boarding capacity small, I’m able to provide plenty of companionship, supervision, exercise, and individual attention throughout the day. I host one household at a time, with a maximum of two visiting dogs from the same household, so I can maintain a calm and manageable home environment. To help you feel connected while you’re away, I provide regular photo and video updates throughout your pet’s stay. Every boarding also concludes with a personalized summary of their meals, walks, potty habits, behavior, and overall experience. I share my home with Tully, my friendly, well-socialized Golden Retriever. Because this is his home too, I prioritize good matches and a comfortable environment for both Tully and visiting dogs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a university instructor with a flexible schedule, I have the flexibility to provide frequent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I care for every dog as an individual, following their normal routine as closely as possible while providing regular photo updates and a personalized boarding summary at the end of each stay. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I care for every dog as an individual by following their normal feeding, potty, exercise, and sleep routines as closely as possible. For boarding, I host only one household at a time, with a maximum of two visiting dogs from the same home. This allows me to keep my boarding environment small, calm, and attentive. I require proof of current rabies vaccination before boarding and provide regular photo and video updates throughout each stay. Every boarding concludes with a personalized summary of your dog’s stay, so you return home knowing exactly how their time with us went. For boarding, visiting dogs must be crate-trained and able to settle safely in a crate when needed. Crates may be used for sleeping, meals, rest periods, or brief periods of separation and supervision. I host only one household at a time, with a maximum of two visiting dogs from the same home, which helps me maintain a calm, comfortable environment for both visiting dogs and my resident dog, Tully.

About: I have volunteered for Zeus's Rescues walking dogs for three years. I previously owned two shetland sheepdogs for several years! There is nothing, absolutely nothing, in this world that is better than spoiling a dog or having extended playtime with a dog or pet. I am always reachable, overly communicative, and reliable in an emergency. My schedule is very open right now and I expect to be working part time soon. I look forward to communicating with you and your pet about your schedule and your needs. I can comfortably handle any breed or any size pet! I am offering dog walking, drop in visits for your pet, and house sitting. I am comfortable with and proficient at: measuring and feeding the proper amount of food, making sure your pets stay hydrated, administering the right amount of medication, taking care of your home while you're away, (I'm a homeowner myself,) playing with your pet, tiring out your pet, reducing your pet's stress, giving love and affection to your pet, and taking your pet to the vet in the event of an emergency.
About: I've had pets my entire life. I'm retired now and travel extensively for part of the year, so I'm unable to have pets of my own and thought this would be a great way to keep busy while I am in town. I have a doggy door and a large, gated backyard for games of fetch or hide and seek. I will provide a safe, loving home while you are away or drop-in if you so choose. When I'm in NOLA, I often work part-time from home. I'm retired so you could call me a homebody, and I'm often found working in my garden. In the fourth quarter of the year, I do travel until thanksgiving but will keep my calendar here updated. I am relatively flexible with scheduling. My son recently moved and took his Boston Terrier with him, so there are no longer any pets in my home. I have a large, fenced yard perfect for games of hide-and-seek or fetch, and I'm often in the back as well working on my garden. I do not have any plants that would present a danger. I love to take long, daily walks on the levee, which is only two blocks away...and would love to bring your pet along! I often have family visit, who also love pets.
About: Hi! I'm Kaylee, a student at Loyola University New Orleans. I've grown up around animals my entire life, having cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes along with 9 cats of my own! Though I officially started offering services on Rover this summer, I have over 4 years of experience. I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting throughout the New Orleans area. Whether your pet needs high-energy play, structured walking, or gentle companionship, I adapt to their specific routine. I am extremely detailed about following feeding instructions, maintaining litter boxes, and keeping your home clean. I also send frequent photo updates during every stay so you always know your pet is happy and safe! As a student at Loyola University New Orleans, I structure my daily routine around pet care visits, walks, and house sitting. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate specific times throughout the morning, midday, afternoon, and evening for drop-ins and walks. For house sitting, I base myself directly at your home to ensure consistent supervision, evening companionship, and adherence to your pet’s exact routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining their normal environment and daily habits to keep them relaxed and stress-free. I strictly follow all owner instructions, including meal portioning, fresh water refills, walking routes, and medication schedules. I keep living areas clean, secure the home upon entry and exit, and send clear photo and text updates during every visit so you always have full peace of mind.
About: What sets me apart is that I don’t simply “check in” on your fur babies; I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including regular and extended care while their families travel. For the past six years, I’ve been consistently trusted to care for pets when Dad and Mom go away on frequent trips, including stays of more than 30 days. I’m comfortable administering medications, staying at your residence, accommodating specific dietary needs and feeding schedules, maintaining established routines, regular walks and exercise, litter care, playtime, and, of course, plenty of companionship and affection. And please, give me ALL the instructions! You can leave me a legitimate PowerPoint presentation about your baby, and I will happily follow it to a T. 😂 I know every pet has their own routine, favorite things, quirks, boundaries, and very specific ways they like things done. (I’m a Virgo, so I know meticulous details. 😂) I’d much rather know every little detail so I can keep their world as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I will also send you pictures and updates to provide you with peace of mind. I’m patient with shy or cautious animals, attentive to changes in behavior, and happy to adapt to different personalities, ages, and energy levels. Whether your baby needs long walks and playtime, is a workout nut (to keep me in shape, too 😂), needs extra attention, wants a cuddle buddy, or needs someone who understands that affection happens strictly on THEIR terms, I’ll follow their lead. Most importantly, I understand that you’re trusting me with a member of your family and, often, your home as well. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your babies are safe, your home is safe, and your babies are comfortable, loved, and having a pretty great time with their favorite auntie, while you take care of whatever needs your attention, without having to stress about what’s happening back at home. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Whether your baby needs early morning or evening walks, scheduled feedings, medication at specific times, regular check-ins, playtime, or simply someone around to keep them company, I can adjust my schedule around their needs. I’m also available for overnight and extended stays in your home, which allows your pets to remain comfortable in their own environment and maintain the routine they’re already used to. Since my schedule has flexibility, I’m happy to spend quality time with your babies rather than rushing in and out. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in my home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, exercise, litter care, playtime, bedtime routines, and all of those little details that make your baby feel safe and at home. We spend most of the day together, so they are not alone for long periods of time if I have to run off to check on another baby. I’m happy to stay overnight and spend quality time with your pets rather than simply popping in and out if you prefer. I’ll give them the level of attention and affection THEY are comfortable with, whether that means lots of cuddles and companionship, plenty of activity, or giving a shy kitty their space until they decide I’ve earned their approval. 😂 I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give mine. I’ll keep things tidy, clean as needed, and secure, and send you regular pictures and updates. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that both your babies and your home are being genuinely cared for. 🐾
About: I’ve cared for pets since I was 8 years old and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments—including my own, and dogs I’ve fostered. As a full-time teacher, I bring patience, calm energy, and structure to my care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I treat every pet like my own—with love, consistency, and a safe space to feel at home. I’m a full-time teacher and after-school tutor, so my availability is limited—but I’m happy to provide pet care on Saturdays only. I’m reliable, flexible on Saturdays, and love helping pups feel loved and secure while you’re away. I care for pets with patience, calm energy, and safety in mind. I can provide crate space if needed, and I keep a quiet, structured environment so your pup feels right at home. Whether your dog needs a relaxed space or gentle company, I’ll tailor care to their needs.
About: I have had cats for so many years of my life before having a few dogs and then birds and hamster's added in to our life during the time of having multiple cats. We only have cats now since the year of October 2010 til current times. I'm passionate about working with animals and providing attentive care. I have hands-on experience caring for animals in home settings, including feeding, cleaning, and monitoring their well-being. Skilled at safely handling dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, experienced in cleaning kennels, feeding animals, monitoring their health, able to follow instructions for animal care routines and respond quickly to any issues. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with usually any animal to ensure they are safe and happy, so I think it would make a good fit for your animal to be cared for and looked after. I work at a local arena that is near the French Quarter area. I work in the Housekeeping Department, so my schedule can be pretty flexible because I don't work 5 or more days of the week by a rigid schedule of someone else telling me I have to come to work on. I schedule myself for when I am available to work. I usually only work around 1-4 days a week at best. Sometimes there is no event for one or two weeks because of a certain reason. • I am usually working early in the day by 9:00 AM til the afternoon like 3:00 / 4:00 PM. I work later events that have me showing up around 1:00 PM / 2:30 PM before the event starts til the end of the event around 9:00 PM from August during heavy amounts of events going on til April or May during slower amounts of events going on. • Between April / May til August, I am completely available to do anything you need for Boarding, House-Sitting, and Doggy Day Care because I don't really have anything going on except grocery / prescription runs for my mom and possibly me at another store, and with doctor's appointment for me and my mom. **Availability & Visit Times - Westbank** I offer midday drop-in visits usually between 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM daily. This window lets me give each pet full, unrushed attention for feeding, litter, play, and cuddles. If you need a specific time within that window, just ask! I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Serving Algiers to Westwego. $10 off your first booking 🐾 The only days I couldn't be available will be three days in usually July when I go out of town to Houma, LA for the days I will have blocked off on here as unavailable. • Once the basketball 🏀 season ends, I don't work again because it slows up very, very much until August once again. I use whatever little bit of money I saved during that time to focus on me and other things. Taking on taking care of other people's pets could be something I could consider doing on days and periods that I ain't working for my other job.

About: I have experience with all kinds of animals including horses, goats, and chickens. Dogs are the best. I can't remember a time where I did not have a dog in my life. Originally from TX in the US marines me and my wife have a lovely Australian Shepherd named Gracie who is our best buddy 🙌🏻 we love her so much. We take her for long walks everyday and she eats homemade food. I am looking for a 2nd job, and pet care would be an amazing 2nd job. I can care for the pet on weekends, and once I get off work. My normal work week is Monday-Friday 6am-430pm or 0600 to 1630 Honestly probly depends on the pet, younger dogs especially puppies need more attention than older dogs, and older dogs may have different needs. It's case by case basis, on what each pet needs. I do like to play with the dogs I care for.
“Megan, is a lifesaver. I was in texas for work and needed a last minute dog walker. She and my fur baby jade connected very well. Megan is on time to walk jade, she is respectful, and I will be scheduling her when I need someone to look after jade. Big Thanks for your help Megan, again life save.”
“Thank you Elaina for taking care of my pup Daizy…she enjoyed her walks with you I’m sure as for two weeks daily I appreciate your service! Elaina kept daily messages on how Daizy was doing and any issues that may have come up. I’d book with Elaina again!”
About: I have had pets my whole life. Also, I prefer dogs but I have a couple years of experience helping out with my sister’s cats. I currently work remotely. So, I can be wherever you need me on any given day or time. I don’t normally work on weekends. I live with my girlfriend and her Boston Terrier ‘Haley’. She has a fenced in backyard to run around in and gets to chase around the ball a lot.
About: I have have been caring of all types of animals since I was 7+ years old. I have taken care of new born puppies, kittens, raccoons and reptiles of all types throughout my life and I love it!! If I could cuddle a gator I would!!! I have also done whelping services for many family members. I have done a lot of fostering and bottle feeding both puppies and kittens. I’m currently working only for Rover. So I can dedicate all my time to your fur baby and his/her needs and the loving care and schedule you want for them. However I am instructed to. I am there to make you and your pet comfortable while away. It can be stressful for pet and pet parents when they are not together. I try to keep your pets schedule as similar to what they are used to with you. Feeding/ walking/ playing/ sleeping/ waking up will all be as close to their normal schedule as possible. Their comfort is my first priority.
About: I’ve had plenty of experiences with both dogs and cats over the years. From feeding medications, to daily walking, to taking care of my own dog, I’ve always had a genuine heart for animals. I’m currently flexible, I am an ultrasound student at the university, looking for part-time side gigs for furry ones! I can usually make any time work with a 1-2 day notice. I treat every animal like they’re my own. Anything I can do to make your furry friend more comfortable, I can do. Meeting them beforehand is helpful to gain trust
About: Hello, my name is Maya and I would be happy to help you with any pet needs you may have. I’ve pet sat in a wide range of settings as well as looked after many different breeds. I enjoy spending time with animals and being out in nature and I consider this arrangement to be less work and more fun. That being said, I understand the responsibility it takes to look after someone else’s pet and take great care in keeping you pets safe and happy. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! :) I’m a self employed creative and have a very flexible schedule. I do work many side jobs so it is best to let me know a couple days to a week ahead of time. I cannot provide home services at this time unfortunately. My landlord won’t permit pets at my place. I would happily dog or cat sit at your home.
About: I have been around all kinds of animals my whole life. Aside from raising and training my own dogs, I helped raise and train service dogs for over three years. These dogs have gone onto incredible careers helping others all over the country! I would love to help you and your furry friend :) I am a recent Tulane graduate! Currently working while I apply to PhD programs. Very flexible with reliable transportation around New Orleans. Located in Irish channel area. I have spent over 10 years caring for animals. In addition to my experience training service dogs, my mother has her own dog walking business which I assist with whenever I am home.
About: My family rescued our first dog, April from the local dive bar when I was six years old. According to the vet, April was just two weeks. She had been separated from her mother at birth and hadn’t even opened her eyes yet. My parents worried she'd be too much trouble. I begged to keep her and promised I'd take care of her. April became my sister, my best friend, and my greatest teacher. I fed April from a bottle, taught her how to walk up the stairs, and took her to puppy training classes. April taught me the practice of presence, and the value of unconditional love. Our time spent together makes up some of my most cherished childhood memories. At the age of 13, pet-sitting became my first job. I loved it so much, I didn’t even understand how it could be considered a job. I took care of the animals, and the animals took care of me. In my decade+ of pet-sitting, I’ve worked with a range of breeds, ages, and temperaments. Walking 100lb. pitbulls with fear aggression. Administering medication to seniors. Feeding finicky rescued stray cats. I even fostered and re-homed an abandoned puppy that found me on the beaches of Costa Rica. I can confidently claim that I’ve never once had an animal “reject” me as their caretaker, and I think that says a lot. In the last 6 years, I’ve been living and traveling as a digital nomad. My lifestyle doesn’t currently allow for a pet of my own, so pet-sitting is a blessing that allows me the opportunity to care for pets as if they were my own. I work part-time as a meditation & yoga teacher, and part-time remote as an event organizer. This lifestyle allows me to be very flexible in taking on pet-sitting and house-sitting opportunities. I can build most of my work day around your pets schedule (and I'm more than happy to do so!) I offer long-term and short-term visits and overnight stays to take care of your pets in their own home. I've found that, for most pets, being in the security and routine of their own environment is the best way for them to cope with their owners temporary absence. I make sure to upkeep your pet's sense of "normalcy" to the best of my ability by feeding and walking them at regular intervals, being an active participant in play time (when desired), giving them snuggles (when desired), and just keeping them company! I make sure to upkeep YOUR sense of "normalcy" by respecting your space, keeping it as clean and organized as when I arrive (if not even more so), and following any & all house rules. In addition to overnights, I LOVE to take on daily walks and wellness checks when you're at work or just too busy to do it all on your own!
About: I grew up with 2 boxers in my childhood home. They were well taken care of; they went on walks, behaved well, & were rewarded with treats. I am available to work full-time. I can start as early as 6am in the morning to night. Whenever my assistance is needed for your dogs. Don’t be afraid to summon me. For my own & others i make sure pets get their excise & socialize.Once dogs are trained, I’ll take them on group walks ( with owner’s permission.)

“Dalia was wonderful!! She sent me pictures everyday and messaged me without me having to ask about my dog! Such a sweet lady!! I will definitely continue to book her!”
“Jessica is outstanding in her quality & care that she gives to the fur babies she cares for. It was our fur baby first time being away from us and I think we were both a little nervous, but Jessica went above and beyond to comfort and reassure us. She is truly one of a kind when it comes to pet care. Thank you so much Jessica. Highly recommend! 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I can't recommend Desirae enough! She was incredibly easy to communicate with, had such a calm and trustworthy demeanor, and was very professional and thorough throughout Charlotte's stay. She even fit Charlotte into her schedule when she didn't have to, which I truly appreciated. She went above and beyond in every way—even giving Charlotte a bath before I picked her up! I received daily videos, prompt responses to every message and check-in, and it was obvious Charlotte was having a wonderful time. She kept her entertained, happy, and well cared for the entire stay. This was a 10/10 experience from start to finish. Knowing Charlotte was in such great hands allowed me to truly relax while I was away. I highly recommend Desirae to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and exceptional dog sitter!”

“Natalie really goes out of her way to make you and your pet a priority. We have a senior dog who recently lost her sister and suffers a bit of separation anxiety, not to mention our own. Natalie stayed in touch throughout the day, providing pics and updates about how our girl was doing. She honestly made us so comfortable through our first trial overnight and we will definitely be using her again.”

“Karen was great! I was really nervous leaving my cats with someone unknown while on vacation. But she understood my nerves and reassured me, and was always sending updates and pics to help me feel better! A couple days in I was feeling better and my cats really seemed to feel safe with her. Thank you Karen 💝”
“My dog can be nervous and hard to win over, but Regina was incredibly patient and quickly earned her trust. She’s dependable, thoughtful, and truly cares about the animals she watches. Knowing my dog was safe and comfortable with her meant so much to me.”
“Great experience! Our dog was so well taken care of, and it was obvious she got lots of love and attention. I really appreciated the updates and pictures while I was away, and even got a sweet report card! I came back to a happy pup, and we’ll definitely be using her again!!”
“Leaving Bentley with Kate and Conor felt like having a friend take care of him! Bentley was immediately comfortable with them. Kate was attentive to all of Bentley’s care needs. Bentley wasn’t even that excited to see me when I picked him up, which always tells me when he feels right at home with his sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Christina was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond taking care of Noodles and treated him like he was her own. She took him on multiple outings and adventures, sent us tons of photos and updates, and made it so easy to relax knowing he was in such loving hands. It was very clear from the photos—and from how happy he was—that Noodles was having an absolute blast. Beyond being an amazing dog sitter, Christina is just a genuinely delightful, kind human. We would trust her with Noodles again in a heartbeat. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Chayanne is the best! The dogs love her and her home is so cute with the sweetest backyard. I always think of Chayanne first when my pups need care!”
“Thank you so much for have patience with our girl! She didn’t have a good first boarding experience and since then we’ve been lucky enough to have friends/family wanting to keep her. So when we went on a family trip we had no clue what to do 😂 the updates were helpful and helped me relax that she was in good hands.”
“This was our third time having Katie take care of our dog, Mylo, and she has been consistently wonderful. Her communication is excellent. She’s always helpful, informative, and keeps us updated. Mylo can be on the nervous side when he’s away from home, but he genuinely seems to enjoy his time with her. Katie does everything she can to make him feel comfortable and at home, which gives us great peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue booking with her.”
