Pet Sitting in Abita Springs

About: I've grown up with many types of pets throughout my entire life. I love animals and have been a volunteer at Northshore Humane Society since 2020, where I have experience walking, playing with, cleaning after, and even assisting in veterinary care with dogs. I especially love teaching new tricks and playing with them. I also have experience with reptiles and cats. I currently have a 9-year-old border collie and take him on walks and play with him for hours every day. He's a very active dog and I enjoy being active with him, as well as grooming him and interacting with him through any and all means. I love all dogs, but my favorite breed is the doberman! I also have a black cat named Breezepelt (named after my favorite book character), and a mexican black kingsnake named Asclepius! How I care for your pet depends on the specific needs and wants of the pet and what you as the owner would like. If I am house sitting, I am willing to play with, take outside, and walk with your pet as much as is desired. I have both leads and retractable leashes if you would like me to use my own. I am comfortable with crating if so desired. I will be keeping a constant eye on your pet and will ensure their safety to the upmost degree.

“This was our first time using Rover and I can’t say enough about how pleased we were to come home to see Sim sleeping on the sofa with Tegan! It’s good to know that he was able to relax with Tegan because he has a lot of separation anxiety since losing his brother. I can’t recommend Tegan enough! We will definitely be using her again.”

“Katie really helped us out in a pinch when our regular Rover lady wasn't available. She was very polite and prompt in response. She also communicated very well with us throughout her visits. Would highly recommend and will look to work with Katie in the future.”

About: Worked with animals in both actual pet businesses and in home services with clients.daycare,walks,medications,food, professional cleaning with pets,documentation of charts and so on since 16 both cats and dogs. Currently a stay at home mom needing to get back to work.but because I homeschool my little boy and have lots of experience with animals,even ones outside of workplaces such as rescuing squirrels,racoons,etc as well as being a go to person that helps with rehoming pets safely,birds,cats,dogs etc for friends and family I figured rover would be perfect since I have so much time of the day free to dedicate to the animals and a big yard that will be fenced at some point (: I always handle the dog walks,baths if ever needed,and dog daycare as I would at any past employment.so the care would be everything unless stated otherwise not needed example morning feeding not needed if you express you feed before you drop off,but in general offer everything from walk,feeding,meds,cleaning the environment around the animals,lots of playtime,laundry if needed for toys,bedding, or whatever belongings dog brings,documentation of the dogs day of basic things,photo and video updates,or anything you would like to request that's doable (:

“Caroline was friendly and understood how to work with our dog who was a recent rescue. She stayed with him on the couch and watched TV and really made him feel comfortable and safe while we were away at the Grand Canyon. Her photos were great and she took him on nice long walks. Will definitely work with Caroline again!”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals including my two current doodles and one sweet kitty! I have cared for numerous animals throughout my life, and now I hope to meet your precious fur babies! I am currently out of school for the summer and only working for my parents’ company, so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! I will make sure your pets get lots of attention and receive their meals on time. I will adapt any schedule to your specific requirements, ensuring them safe and happy care while their parent(s) are away:)

About: Hi, I’m Kenzie! 🐶 I am a huge dog lover and actually have a 2 yr old Golden Retriever named Mango who is my best boy. I spend a lot of time outside—walking, playing fetch with Mango, biking, hanging in the backyard, or chillin at the lakefront—and I love bringing other dogs along for the fun. I’ve helped take care of family and friends’ dogs over the years, and I also used to work at an animal hospital, so I’m comfortable with basics like feeding, walks, baths, and nail trims. If you need someone to stop by, give your dog some company and love, or take them on a walk, I’ll make sure they’re cared for and happy while you’re away! 🫶 I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule so it is easy for me to check on them at pretty much anytime of the day! I mainly do drop-in visits and or walks. During drop-in visits I feed them, let them out for fresh air and to potty, and have lots of playtime.

“Aurelia took such great care of our kitty, who is verrrrry shy. She coaxed her out and spent a lot of time petting, brushing and playing with her, in addition to taking care of food, water, litter box and plenty of treats. Aurelia is extremely dependable and reliable and communicated regularly with words and photos. Highly recommend.”

My weekends are always changing and very flexible. I like caring for pets in their own home because that is where they feel most comfortable, following their normal routine and offering attention and companionship. On walks, I focus on your pets safety, energy level, and making sure they are well hydrated.

Depending on your location, I am also able to do lunch time drop ins! Most of my weekends are open, though I am unavailable about 1 weekend out of the month for work, these weekends follow my weekday availability. My husband supplements any working weekends, and most times in which i am not home! Every animal is different, every animal has their quirks and personality! I am easily adaptable to your pets needs in home and outside. My goal is to make visits and transitions as seamless as possible for your pets; what works for you is what's best for me! WE BOARD MULTIPLE ANIMALS AT A TIME! Sometimes there will be overlap from different households. Please know that we always prioritize safety, are very adaptable with separation and never leave our boarded animals together unattended.

“Kathryn did a great job taking care of Millie. She was timely dropping in on both mornings and night and provided lots of pictures and updates on every visit. I will definitely want to use Kathryn again for drop ins”

About: I’ve been around dogs of every size for my whole life. I have owned a 2 lb teacup poodle and a 120 lb Golden Retriever. Neighbors, friends, and family often come to me when they are out of town to watch their pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, as well as during the week for repeat clients by request. I do my best to stay flexible and accommodate each pet’s schedule and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM in the office, but I’m available for drop-in visits in the morning before work, during my lunch break, and anytime after work. I live in a house in Covington, LA with a large fenced-in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run and play. Inside, there’s ample room for pets to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home. I always prioritize each pet’s safety and individual needs. Pets can be kept separate or allowed to interact and play together based on their temperament and owner preferences. I aim to create a calm, secure, and loving environment where every pet feels well cared for.

About: I’ve had 2-3 dogs in the house for the entirety of my life. I have dog/house sat for many people in my neighborhood and have always been a reliable helping hand. I’ve taken care of dogs that have strict diet and medication regimines, as well. I have experience with both big and little dogs. I’m a lover of all animals! I’m finishing up my last year of grad school and have recently moved back home to Mandeville! I currently work at St. Tammany Parish Hospital 4 days a week and have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends! I can make sure to conform to any house rules you may have in place for me and for your pups. I can easily crate your pet, if needed. I am very attentive and full of energy to play with or take your pups for walks.

“Thanks so much!! Great peace of mind and photos”
