“She did a great job with our puppy! Thank you Loralei”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and animals since i was a child. At just 11 years old, I got my very own dog and have taken care of her by myself for the past 5 years. I trained her as a puppy to be potty trained, be obedient, and to do over a dozen tricks. I have also dog sat for friends and neighbors numerous amounts of times, and have enjoyed every one of them :) I am currently enrolled in online courses for school and have the ability to create my own schedule based on when your fur baby needs assistance. I have a very flexible schedule and can be available any time of the day. I will follow a strict schedule for your pup if needed. This will include providing food and water, regular exercise, playtime, and ensuring a safe environment surrounding your baby. I can take them on long walks and can handle a strong dog on a leash.
“Chuck was wonderful! It was our first time using a dog walker since we got our puppy. Chuck volunteered to come and meet our dog prior to his first drop-in free of charge which was wonderful for the dog and his parents! :) We will be using him again in the future 100%!”

About: Growing up, I have always had pets. We have had both dogs and cats that I had to care for since a young age. As I’ve gotten older, I have been watching friends’ pets when they go out of town. About three years ago, I made a Facebook post about my dog sitting that caught many people’s attention. I had many responses that led to lots of pet sitting that summer. Every summer since 2019, my schedule has been completely booked up with pet sitting in my area. I have experience with small dogs, big dogs, puppies, older dogs, and cats. I am a social worker in the Hammond area. I work hybrid, so I have the opportunity to work from home and use that time to take care of your sweet dogs and cats. I am unable to bring pets into my home because I am renting an apartment that does not allow pets. However, I would love to care for your animals in your home! If your home is accommodating to your pets, then it should be no problem. I also have a car that I can put dogs in to take them to a dog park or to a walking trail.
About: I am currently a student at Southeastern University And looking for part-time work. Taking care of your pets would be ideal! I was raised with and still take care of my two childhood pets, Gumbeaux and Roux. Gumbeaux and Roux are now in their older years (11 and 10. They are boxers who for years were full of rambunctious energy and need a lot of attention. They have been a full-time job, but I also have experience, taking care of friend’s pets as well. “ I am attending college and will need to work around my school schedule in the spring, which can be very flexible. Currently, I do not have any work or school obligations, and I would like to spend some time taking care of your pets” I usually feed, play, and cuddle with my own dogs at home. I know every dog is different and unique with their own needs and wants.
About: While I may not have professional pet sitting experience, I have consistently cared for friends and my own family pets, including feeding, walking, playing, and providing companionship. Growing up with pets has given me a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I am a dependable and responsible individual with a strong work ethic. You can trust me to follow your instructions and provide consistent care for your pet. I offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your pet's needs. I work from 8am-4pm with occasional work trips. I am available for daily walks or drop-in visits in the morning, lunchtime, and evening time. I do have an open yard, but I have a private subdivision that I can take your dog on a walk with a leash. I do not have any pets at the moment so your pet will be a number 1 priority. Although I work a full time job, it is a family business that allows animals so I can bring them to my office as well.
About: I have taken care of many animals for my family and friends. I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, and even horses! I love animals and have had a lot of experience pet sitting. I have stayed in home for long stays as well as just helping with walking and bathing. Right now, I am pretty free most days so I can be available to pet sit for long stays or just walking on pretty much any day! I am extremely flexible. I am always very responsible when it comes to taking care of other peoples pets and their homes. I will follow feeding schedules, keep animals healthy and clean, as well as always making sure the pets are comfortable
About: Hi I’m Mandi , I’ve basically raised & trained dogs of all breeds & sizes my entire life. I’ve never really met a stranger when it comes to meeting pups ! Definitely love dogs more then most humans ! Lol. I also specialize in puppy care / whelping as I’m a breeder myself as well. I’m currently working part time & pretty home based. So I have all the time to properly care for your pup ! Your pup would never be left home alone or unattended ! I have a small fenced in area around my home incase your fur baby likes to be outside. I do keep boardings indoors at all times & I always take dogs out one by one for walks very frequently. Your fur baby would never be left alone or unsupervised 🙂.
About: I’ve helped take care of all kinds of animals since I was a child. Birds, bunnies, dogs, cats: I love them all and they all seem to love me, I’ve even been called an animal whisperer before. I have a cat of my own now and I often take care of my neighbors dogs. I graduated from LSU in May and am currently taking a gap year to study for the MCAT and prepare to apply to medical school, so my schedule remains open. I have a cat to keep your animal company at my own home but I can also care for your animal singularly if need be. I live in an area with many walking paths and would love to play with and tire your animal out!
“Claire was a great help! Very open and communicative. Took great care of our fur-baby!”
“Late, but did show up & complete tasks. Honest. Will use again”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals since I was a child. I used to bring home strays even though I would get in trouble for it. I’ve babysat dogs for friends and family in the past. I also used to be a dog groomer at Petsmart. One rainy morning on my way to work, I saw a chihuahua mix on the side of the road. I parked my car about 10 feet away from her. She was shaking and had a look of despair. I gently scooped her up and put her in my passenger seat. I noticed her leg was broken so I skipped work and took her to the vet. I took her home with me and cared for her until she healed. Today, she is the happiest and chunkiest chihuahua I’ve ever seen. She’s living her best life with my mom. I work a full time job but I plan to quit soon. If day care is needed then I will take the days off needed for that. Overall, my schedule can be flexible. For day care, I have a fenced in backyard for your dogs to run around and play. They will be supervised at all times and I do have cameras. I have a sun room they can lounge in as well. I have a bucket of toys they can play with. They will be fed and will have plenty of water. If your dog does not get along with others then I can create a safe space for them.

14. Sarah M.
“Sarah is always willing to take care of all of my pets when I am away for extended periods of time. She's so sweet and treats them as her own. I couldn't ask for a better pet sitter/dog walker. My pets love her and I couldn't recommend her more. She's reliable, honest and a hard worker.”
15. Krista R.
“Krista stayed with my lab/pitbull mix, Bailey, for a little over a week. Bailey is a low maintenance dog but also very high energy and loves attention when you’re around. Krista came into the house, my fiancé and I gave her (maybe) a 10 min rundown on everything before we left, and she was good to go. Her and Bailey clicked and Krista did above and beyond what we had asked her to do. She is VERY trustworthy, honest, and responsible. I will definitely use her again if need be and will continue to recommend her!!”
