“Evelyn was a total hero when our last dog sitter couldn't make it! She went far beyond what we'd hoped for, taking care of all three of our fur babies like they were her own. She sent us the most adorable pictures and kept us updated throughout our whole trip. We felt so comfortable and we're super excited to have her back to look after our little pack again! ???”

“As a pet parent I was nervous about leaving my babies with someone, Jaime did amazing job with updates and pictures. We are planning a longer trip and going to ask her to come stay. I would never think twice again she loved on my babies like I would.”

Eiko S.

“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.

“Ava was amazing!!!!! Can’t say enough great things. She was responsive, clean, prompt, and most of all took wonderful care of our babies! She is hands down the best dog sitter we have ever had!!!”

About: Hi, I’m Mali! I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old, starting with my own dog, Rajah, who’s now a happy 14-year-old senior. I’ve trained both Rajah and my younger pup, Ripley, as service dogs, so I have plenty of hands-on training experience. I also have the joy of loving and caring for 2 amazing cats. When I was younger, my friend and I even started a little neighborhood grooming service, and since then, I’ve cared for countless dogs and other pets during my time working on a farm. I also have five years of experience as a veterinary technician, four of those in emergency care, so I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and health needs. Currently, I’m enrolled in Penn Foster to become a certified dog trainer and hope to open my own pet training business soon. Your pets will be in loving and knowledgeable hands with me! I’m currently working full-time at a job that has a set schedule that repeats every two weeks. In week one, I work Monday, Tuesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. In week two, I work Wednesday and Thursday. With this schedule, I have quite a lot of off-time. I can even make myself available before and after my shifts on the days I work if necessary. I would never let any pet go without the care they need and deserve! I currently have 3 dogs and 2 cats. Because I want them to have the most excellent life, I have researched and tailored each one of them the best meal plan to suit their individual needs while staying in a range I can afford. Each animal gets fed, what sometimes feels like a gourmet meal, twice a day with different supplements, toppers, and portions. I have extensively researched, observed, and put into practice what each of my animals needs and wants so they all have slightly different routines. For example, my two senior dogs don’t want or need as much exercise as my puppy. Training is a part of every day with the dogs and cats as learning is an indefinite endeavor for humans and animals alike and does wonders for mental enrichment. I would care for all client pets as much as my own in exactly the manner the client prescribes. I am currently not in a place to watch client pets in my home but am more than willing to commute to the home where the wonderful pet is. I prioritize safety, happiness, and comfort of all pets. I follow all rules and instructions left by clients. After all, it’s the client who knows their animals best. I believe clients should be able to trust that their pets will be treated with the utmost care and kindness in events that they can’t be there themselves.

“Sydney was a breath of relief. She was on time, very efficient and when we returned home, my babies were not anxious as they were on kennel stays. Even my kitties ate their daily allotted food. All seemed very comfortable while we were away. Thanks to Sydney.”

Dawn R.

“Great communication! Lots of pics shared and updates provided.”

“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: I’m an experienced Kennel and Vet Assistant. I have the experience to take the extra care that a flat faced dog needs and how to bathe them with care. I also have the experience with senior dogs and take gentle care of their brittle bones. I have experience with taking care of dogs that are big and know that they are gentle giants. No need to worry if your dog has medication I also have experience in giving your babies their meds when needed and how to give it as prescribed. I am currently not working so I have all the time to take care of your beautiful babies when you’re hard at work. I’m available during your work hours and during the weekend if needed. In my home I can take your dog out for a walk and potty breaks. My apartment complex is animal friendly with a lot of space to play. You can be sure to know that your animal is safe with me if they need to have medication given to them. In your home you can rest assured that your dog will have the same routine and never be bored. I’ll make sure to give them ample play time and potty breaks.

“Megan did a great job house and cat sitting for our 4 cats over a 10 day vacation! She was able to give meds to one and sent pics during the week of what they were up to.”

About: I’ve cared for animals for 10+ years as a shelter worker, vet tech, vet assistant and pet parent myself. I’m knowledgeable on diabetic care, senior care, pediatric training and socializing and much more! I’m able to fit your pets care anytime needed due to my open schedule! I’m usually up by 6:00AM to start caring for my mini zoo but able to get up earlier. Your pets safety comes first to me. If any meds are needed they will be given on time every time. You’ll receive as many updates or possibly more of your babies.

“Phillip is great with Tex! He kept Tex well fed and excised. They enjoyed each accompany very much :) While kept my house clean. Thank you!”

“Kallie is amazing! She did a wonderful job with our 5 “pups.” Have utmost confidence in her and have already booked her to house and puppy sit for an extended vacation we have in a few months.”

About: Pet sitting is awesome because I want to spend time with as many wonderful pets as I can. I'll treat them just as well as I would like my pets to be treated since I know how important they are. Prior to Good Dog, I would pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. They deserve the best care even the little rambunctious ones. I have been working and volunteering in pet care for years. Interacting with any animal makes me happy but bunnies will always have a special place in my heart. Regardless of whether they have fur or scales I treat my pets, and other’s pets as family members who need just as much love and emotional care as they do physically. Thank you for this opportunity

About: I grew up with three dogs. Dooh-Dah, our little basset hound, Katie Blue, my blue tick hound, and Buster, our now 7 year old Beagle. They were full of energy, but when it was nap time for them, it was nap time for the whole house. I began walking them for fun when I was 8, and little did I know that 10 years later, I would find a passion for volunteering. I spend my weekends volunteering at cat shelters, dog shelters, and combined ones. Knowing that these animals have someone to rely on is what motivates me. Also, I'm a cuddly person and dogs just understand that. I got to work adoption events by myself, which included the transportation and maintenance of animals in an unfortunately stressful environment for them (Pet smart). I'm a good socializer for cats and dogs, and I can spend hours just petting them! I currently work full time in Shreveport but am available for walking past 5 pm on most weekdays. I have holiday availability as well! On the weekends I am fully available unless otherwise marked on my calendar. We currently have 4 cats (3 adopted, 1 found in the trash where I worked previously.) They love playing with strings and crunchy toys, and are very active. We brush them once a week and try to keep up with trimming their nails, but they sharpen them on their cat trees almost immediately afterwards. For clients, if I am dog walking/sitting, I'll walk them for long periods of time (45 minutes to an hour). I have my own poop bags and a traveling water bowl that I bring if your dog enjoys long walks. If your dog just likes to run around your yard, I'll spend lots of time playing with them and getting that energy out. Admittedly, I am a cat person, but I love dogs and love walking other people's dogs. Getting to meet different breeds and having some puppy therapy is always fun.
