“Kaylee was so amazing! She was reliable, kind and so great with coming to walk our pup twice a day while we were on vacation for 2 weeks. Will 100% be using Kaylee again in the future.”

About: Thank you for clicking on my profile! I have grown up with all sorts of animals - from kittens to raccoons. I can promise your animal will always be cared for like they are my own ❤️ I will never believe in animal abuse. I stand up for what is right and will always give the animals a voice! If you have any questions, never be afraid to ask! Does your pet have a weird diet? I can work with that? Has your pet been sick but you have a trip planned for out of town? I can take care of them! No matter what, the love and support will always be there in my household. I look forward to talking to you very soon!
“Tenay is a skilled and enthusiastic dog walker who keeps in touch when caring for pets. She stayed with my pup for three days while I was out of town, and did a great job, even managing to get my "loves to nap" dog out for some long walks (which he needs). She sent photos and videos and I felt confident that he was Ok at all times.”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life. I worked at an animal hospital as a veterinarian's assistant. I adopt never shop! I am able to care for dogs above and beyond a simple walk, and I've never met a dog I didn't like! All of my dogs are given the best care and treatment possible! I have cared for dogs with autoimmune disorders, crippling diseases, various common ailments, pregnancies, nursing puppies, and of course, some of the happiest, healthiest doggies ever! I can definitely handle your dogs with utmost respect for you and them. They will be treated like the amazing little creatures they are, and maybe even get spoiled a bit too! I hope you will feel completely at ease when allowing me to take care of your favorite little (or big!) buddies!
About: Pets are more than just animals. They are part of our families and deserv to be spoiled and loved since they are only with us for a short time. I do transports for rescues as often as possible to help as many as possible to find loving homes. I currently have two dogs and between jobs so my availabilty is pretty open. I can't do overnight/house sit because of my two boys, but can check in and visit anytime. I'm available for walks and house visits, but can't do overnights. I can check or visit at any time though. I treat all animals as good, if not better than my own. I appreciate their various personalites and quirks. One of mine is reactive towards mainly men and other dogs, so I understand some need special attention that others may not. They are all unique individuals.

About: Part time on Rover, full-time attention for your pets! I love animals. I used to work at a no-kill animal shelter (no veterinarian experience, but plenty of hands-on care), and I lived on a farm for 10 years with all kinds of animals, exotic and native. I'm good at reading animals that can't tell you what's wrong. I'm a dog mom myself to Milo, a Dutch Shepherd, so your pup gets the same care I'd want for him. I can do dog sitting, drop-in visits, or walks. I can't wait to meet you and your babies! Pet care is a big part of my week. I work part-time, so I have plenty of open time for walks, dropins, and sits. Your pet's routine slots right into my day: morning walks, midday checkins, evening wind downs I follow your pet's routine exactly as you leave it: same feeding times, same walking routes, same rules. I send photo updates so you always know how they're doing, and I leave your home tidy and secure.
About: Hey, it’s Katie, I’ve been taking care of animals since I was born! I’ve professionally dog and cat sat since 2018. The first dog I ever boarded was an elderly blind dog named Daisy. She sparked my love for taking care of other’s animals, it meant so much to me to see Daisy happy and excited to see me come home, even if her human had to go out of town! I have two dogs, two cats, and two birds currently! I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs, special needs dogs, and giving daily medications. Munchkin, my forty pound American Foxhound, hates the rain, has separation anxiety, and has epilepsy so he’s medicated daily. I am a full time student with mostly online classes. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can work with special requests. I am all about communication and willing to accommodate any needs your pet may have! I have years of experience with different personalities, training, and caring for a variety of animals! I also have a waist leash to be able to walk multiple dogs at the same time, if that is important to your family’s needs!
About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve had the joy of raising and caring for dogs and cats throughout my adult life, including beagles, miniature pinschers, German pinschers, and a variety of cats. Although I recently lost my beloved pets to old age and am not quite ready to adopt again, I deeply miss the companionship and joy animals bring. Pet sitting offers the perfect way for me to continue spending time with furry friends while helping others feel confident that their pets are in good hands. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and always punctual. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. My schedule is flexible. I am happy to visit a client's home to walk their pet and play with them at any time of the day. I am pleased to walk dogs and tend to their needs, such as medication or feeding. I’m also comfortable with cats as well. I do not currently offer in-home boarding.
About: Animals have always been a passion throughout my life, which is why I turned to pet sitting. Ever since I was a little girl my family and I have always had dogs ranging from a tiny teacup yorkie to a large golden retriever to even frogs and rabbits. My experience with pet care really began when I became the primary caregiver to my yorkie. From there, I began pet sitting for many neighbors and friends and have been able to create a fun-loving experience out of it! I take pride in being responsible while still giving your pets a fun time! I have years of experience with a variety of different animals and I know how important it is finding the right person to care for your fur babies!
About: I’ve pet sat for friends and family for years and have been walking neighbors’ dogs for a few months. I have a large dog myself so I can be relied on to walk and care for large dogs. I currently keep a neighbor’s dog for doggy daycare about 2-3 hours during the day. They LOVE to play with each other and I have plenty of enrichment toys and treats to keep them occupied. I currently keep a dog for doggy daycare from 12:00-2:00 on weekdays, but my schedule is flexible. I am available during weekdays for walks and check ins from 8:00 am-6:00 pm. I am also available for weekday and weekend boarding and house sitting. I have a fenced in backyard and a fairly open floor plan offering a lot of play space. My dog and the dog I keep during the day are both very sweet but can be quite rambunctious at times. They are both well trained and very friendly with people and other dogs. Before moving to Baton Rouge, I used to own my own business cleaning houses and have a lot of experience working in other people’s homes. I understand how difficult it can be letting someone new into your home, especially when you may not be there. I am a great communicator, very trustworthy, and have a flexible schedule. I often send pictures or videos of pets to keep you updated and let you know your fur baby is safe and happy!
About: I have been around and cared for canines for over 25 years, although not in a professional capacity. I have always had dogs growing up (golden retriever, boxer, beagle, German shepherd, cane Corso). I am experienced and well versed in caring for animals! I am currently working part time as I transition out of active duty military service back into civilian life. I will be getting my masters (New Orleans Seminary) in about a year. So for now, I have a very open schedule and am able to accommodate! For me it is important to listen to what the client wants and to ensure that I continue the same routine for the pet. I will not deviate from your instructions. I’m conscientious and adaptable in various environments. Also I’m definitely aware of the heat in south Louisiana, I grew up here!
About: I’m an experienced pet caregiver who believes every animal deserves patient, loving, and consistent care. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, and pigs of all personalities, from energetic pups to shy or senior pets, and tailor my approach to whatever makes them feel safest and happiest. I offer reliable walks, drop-ins, overnight sitting, feeding, litter/cleanup care, enrichment, and medication support when needed. My focus is always on comfort and communication: you’ll get updates, photos, and honest check-ins so you know your pet is doing great while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own and strive to create a calm, positive experience for them every visit. Let’s make sure your pet feels at home, even when you’re not there. Even with a full-time job, I keep a consistent pet-care schedule built around early mornings, lunch breaks, and evenings, ensuring reliable visits and quality time with every pet. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine exactly for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions so they stay comfortable and stress free. I keep their space tidy, offer lots of attention, and send consistent updates so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I’ve had a dog in the house since I was 5 years old. I worked at a vet clinic for 2 years as a boarder before I permanently moved to Baton Rouge. I go to LSU and major in animal science. I have medicated and taken care of anxious/aggressive dogs. I am patient, gentle, and I take account that each pet is a family member to each owner. I am currently enrolled at LSU majoring in Animal science. I have wanted to foster or get a pet of my own since moving here but I have not been able to, so I decided to make my side hustle helping others with the things I love to do. I update my colander regularly, but sometimes things come up, just message me! I am easygoing and easy to communicate with. I have a fenced little yard and I enjoy walking around my gated neighborhood, so I will do so with your pet. I follow instructions well, I am aware each pet is different and have their own personality. I’m slow and a quick learner, since I have handled hundreds different dogs for a handful of years. If I am ever confused on an instruction my first instinct is to contact you to make sure and not just “assume”.

About: I have years of hands on experience caring for dogs for friends, neighbors, and family, often stepping in for walks, feeding, and daily care when they're out of town. I'm dependable, detail oriented, and I make sure each dog's routine is followed so they stay comfortable and stress free while their owners are away. At home I have a mini schnauzer and a sheepadoodle, so I'm very familiar with both smaller, high energy personalities and larger, playful dogs. Managing both has taught me patience, consistency, and how to read different temperaments quickly. I'm comfortable adjusting to each dog's needs and making sure they get the right mix of exercise, attention, and care. I work in dental sales, which gives me a flexible schedule that I can easily work around pet care needs. I’m able to stop by for walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day and adjust my schedule as needed. This flexibility also allows me to take on regular or last-minute bookings and be reliable for pets and their owners. I follow each pet’s routine and instructions closely to keep things consistent and stress free. I handle feeding, walks, and basic care in the client’s home, and make sure pets get the attention and exercise they need based on their normal habits, personality, and daily routine.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the age of 6. And I honestly just want to stay around animals for as long as I can! I’ve trained dogs all my life, and I have loved cats since I was a little girl. Taking care of your pup will be great! Im currently playing sports for my university, so we do travel a lot, but most of the time I'm always available after 3pm everyday! And free on the weekends! I live in an animal friendly apartment, your pet will be well fed, and taken care of to the best of my abilities If anything!
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 15 and am now an Animal Science major. I also work in a veterinary hospital’s boarding department, caring for dogs, cats and other pets as well as helping with medications. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I’m available Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays after 12 PM, and I also have availability every other weekend. I work Wednesdays and Fridays, but I’m happy to coordinate care around those days when possible. I provide care in my home or clients’ homes. I have access to a dog park and prioritize pets’ comfort and routines with attentive care.
