House Sitting in Yellow Pine

“I cannot say enough good things about how well Abbey took care of not only our baby boy Luca but, we walked into our home after the trip to find our house in immaculate condition!! When we checked in on a daily basis, Abbey would send me pictures and tell me how the day went. Luca was so worn out daily from play time that he slept like a rock when it was bedtime. I am definitely a returning pet parent! THANKS ABBEY!!!”

About: Since I began offering my services, I have taken care of various dogs with various needs. The safety and happiness of each animal are my top priorities, and there is no job too big or small. I have experience with young pups, kittens, and senior animals, and I love them all the same. Medication, special diets, and niche rituals are no problem for me, and I can ensure this will be your pet's home away from home. I recently graduated from college and am home most of the day while I search for a career post-grad and conduct freelance work online. I will have plenty of time for walks, outside enrichment, and playtime to ensure your pet is well cared for. I have a large, fenced-in yard perfect for playing fetch or relaxing sunbathing. I do not have pets, so any animal boarding in my home would receive all of my attention (and all the belly rubs and ear scratches). My neighborhood is quiet and low-traffic, perfect for long walks. Pets are allowed on all furniture, and I have plenty of room if your pet requires a crate.

About: I've had labs, mutts, cats, and even a tarantula in my years of owning pets! I can bathe if they get dirty, and have notoriously been called a cat whisperer by my friends. There's very little that could happen to gross me out or put me off from a pet. To me your pet is a loved family member and I treat them with the respect they deserve! I currently am only doing occasion drives for Uber and Lyft. The amount of time I have is open and can be easily worked around whatever schedules you need! I'm very good about messaging back in a timely manner and marking on calendars ahead of time when I would be unavailable. The only real requirement is if I stay overnight I have to run home at least once a day to feed and care for my own pets! First and foremost I do require meeting a pet before any sitting/checking and walking take place. As a stranger to your pets it’s best they see me when you are present first to make both them and myself more comfortable. I believe in being upfront with people in every way so I also must insist on being told if there are cameras or alarms on the property! No one likes to be jumpscared with those! Also if you have people who come by or have access to the property let me know, so I can let them in. (pest control, cleaning service, etc)I like having a list of what pets need and their preferences; as well as a good vet's number and location on file. I read instructions thoroughly and follow them to a T! I don't cave to begging if they aren't allowed! If provided I will follow training guidelines that you've set to the best of my ability. (for example you're working on no barking, I will also discourage barking!) I unfortunately must say as well any dog bigger than an average labrador(i.e. 70ish pounds) must be at least heel trained if I am to walk them safely; otherwise I will exercise them thoroughly outside instead. I am tiny, and large dogs don’t mesh well with that when untrained! So it's for the best! Please let me know ahead of time what level of communication you’d prefer when away, whether daily or only emergencies! I can take nice photos too, and will only put them on the profile with express permission. I also would prefer but am not required to have a list of their preferred schedule and feeding amounts. Pets are most comfortable when they can stick to a routine. Especially since a stranger in the house is already new! And last but not least if your pet has any quirks or history I’d like to be informed! For example an elderly dog that is kinda grumpy. Or hot spots, sensitive skin, lumps, allergies, bite history, etc.

“We are grateful we found Stephanie to watch our dogs and always know they are in good hands. Our dogs can take a bit to warm up to people, but Stephanie made sure to spend a lot of time with them so that they were comfortable!”

About: What sets me apart from other animal sitters is my deep understanding of pets at every life stage from playful puppies to sweet senior animals and my calm, patient approach to care. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments and sizes, and I tailor my care to meet each animal’s unique needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around the animals in my care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m reliable and consistent. I keep a flexible calendar to accommodate everything from quick drop-ins to longer stays, and I always make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I give the pets. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding and walk routines to any house rules like crating, restricted areas, or medication needs. I always keep the environment clean, calm, and safe locking doors, checking gates, and making sure pets are never left unattended in risky situations.

“Emily is wonderful. She is very patient - she was gracious about my anxieties and I felt confident that she would take great care of our dogs. We have one senior who needs extra care and Emily wasn't phased at all by the potential for some extra work and/or clean up. When we returned the dogs were relaxed and although they were happy to see us they weren't as hyper about it as I expected, which told me they weren't stressed. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her for any pet visits or overnight petsitting.”

About: Hi We are Abby and Will. We moved to Louisiana less than a year ago. We do not have any pets yet, so your pet will have our undivided attention. We both grew up with animals and wouldn’t have it any other way. Being around animals makes us happy and you can have two pet sitters for the price of one! We both work full time jobs but have flexible schedules. I (Abby) get off work most days at 3pm and have open availability on the weekend. Will is free on the weekends as well and is periodically free during the day. We communicate well and will make sure your pet is taken care of! Our house is located in a peaceful neighborhood. We love to go for walks and our house has a fenced in backyard with a doggy door. We’re both up early and can make sure your fur baby is fed and walked if needed. Our philosophy is to treat people’s pets with love, respect, and kindness.

About: I am flexible and love animals. I have cared for dogs, cats and horses for over 60 years. I have worked with many dog breed and sizes, as well as ages. I work part time and have a flexible schedule. I currently own three of my own cats, but can easily accommodate the needs of others. I can accommodate the clients request at their home. I am willing to travel to clients home, provide necessary services including vet appointments. I am available for overnight stays as needed but only at clients residence as I have cats at my own home.

“Katie was excellent with our dogs. She communicated so well and took lots of videos and pictures. She went above and beyond for our guys. We will definitely use her services again.”

About: I work with Chimpanzees at Chimp Haven! I also have two amazing cats named Bellion and Kid! In addition I also have a bearded dragon named Thor. I have had animals since I was 3 and I have been caring for animals since then. I have experience walk training dogs and I have plenty of regular training experience as well. I use to volunteer with multiple dog and cat no kill shelters where I would walk, play, and groom with both dogs and cats. I would also go to events and communicate with potential adopters for these dogs, as I did these events I would be walk training the dogs so that when they get adopted they would know! I do work a full time job from 7am-4pm every day. My evenings are completely free and I currently have Saturdays and Sundays off from work so I am free all day on those days to help train or walk pets! Since my evenings are free I can check up or even stay the night to take care of your babies! My cats and lizard are very spoiled in our home. They get fed twice a day and plenty of love and play time. I absolutely adore animals and I want to make sure your pets are taken care of while you're at work or vacation!

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs that belonged to my family as well as some friends, where I enjoyed walking, feeding, and playing with each pet. I also have helped some with a friend’s pet grooming service. I’ve always loved dogs and have a strong passion for caring for them. I work a part time job, which is scheduled mostly at night so I will have plenty of time during the day to care for your pets! My house is very pet friendly, but my yard does not have a fence. However I do not mind taking pets outside whenever they need to, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking!

About: I have taken care of a variety of animals since I was a young girl. Growing up on a farm with parents that also had a love for animals, I have been exposed to many creatures, big and small, and I must say I love them all ❤️ I currently have three spoiled Labrador’s and two cats, and given the opportunity (and space) I would love to home so many more. Rover may be the answer to calm the urge to go out and find more critters to love on, without getting in trouble by bringing more home 😉 I look forward to meeting your fur babies 🐾❤️ I am a military vet, and Mom. My schedule is rather free giving me plenty of time to be more flexible to your booking needs. I am really comfortable around any animal. I understand that every animal has a routine and I can adapt and follow directions laid out by the pet owner to assure an easier separation time for your pet, to ease their anxiety or stress while your away.

“Samuel was AMAZING with our pup! We had to fly across the country unexpectedly and he was able to watch Frankie at the last second and took great care of him all weekend. He was super flexible with our flight delays on the way home as well. Frankie got to go on lots of fun adventures too! We will definitely be using Samuel whenever we need a dog sitter in the future!”

I work week days from 9 am to 4 pm. I’m free almost every weekend. I usually wake up around 7 am so I’m available for early morning drop ins and late afternoon. I have 5 acres completely fenced in with a pond. I have 1 dog friendly dog and buckets of every type of toys you can think of. I am very knowledgeable in dog feeding/routines and would be more than happy to continue those for your family in addition to whatever needs your dog needs met.

About: I've been around dogs since childhood, but my two sweet dogs have come into my life in the last few years. Both rescues from different situations, they have taught me so much about how to adapt my care to their specific needs. Feeding times are no problem, as are bathroom breaks and time outside. I'm able to administer medicine as needed. The only limit that I have as far as pet care goes is that I cannot walk larger dogs due to a spinal disability. I can, however, manage dog walks on the small-medium size. I hope that I fit your pet sitter needs and can make friends with your doggo! I work part time in a leadership position in a retail store. My shift are typically in the middle of the day but generally do not last more than 6 hours. I am able to drop in and provide care as needed and stay at a client's house full time on my off days. I have a fenced in backyard that my dogs are free to run around and play in. They never go anywhere without their harnesses and leashes. My cats are indoors only, though sometimes I may take them on the patio if it's sunny out. This is generally the standard I apply to any animal I'm caring for, so that they're in my sight as much as possible.

About: I have 3 dogs and and a cat and a house full of animal lovers myself. I have a sister who is also on rover that I occasionally walk dogs for when she isn't available. After February 6th I will mainly work weekend nights at my job. I can make myself more available the more notice I am given by a customer. My pets are spoiled princesses. All of them are regularly groomed and all shots up to date. All animals need love from any human I believe.
