About: I've always taken in stray dogs or cats growing up , I'm 34, and being with animals is therapeutic for me. I've trained my full grown golden doodle into adult hood although I got busy with dental school and decided it best for her well being to give her to a loving family who would be able to give her more attention because when going through dental hygiene school , I knew before starting I would not be able to give her the full attention that she deserved , me and my son had her for 5 great years and still visit with her and her new family . I am now no longer in dental school although I do work in dentistry and am looking for a part time side hustle , thank you for giving me this opportunity , working with animals is actually I job I enjoy. I do live in Kentwood La - very rural country , I am willing to travel as there is not a lot of business out here thank you for your understanding. I currently work as an expanded dental assistant working Monday - Thursday , the latest I get off is 4:30 and most days earlier than that . I work one Friday out of the month . I can come to you and watch your animals after 4:30 during the week If not earlier than that time , and I'm usually free Friday thru Sundays , I'll work with you and your schedule. I provide attentive and reliable care for pets as if they are my own children. Will keep update with pics/videos. Respect and communication is key.
“Chloe took such good care of our Gracie girl! She communicated well, sent pics and left our home in tiptop shape after housesitting for several days. We were delighted to find she went above and beyond - washed all the linens she used, picked up poop in the yard and covered our hot tub when the cover flew off unexpectedly. Our pup seemed very content and loved when we arrived home. Highly recommend!”
“Darcy was fantastic! We were in the process of moving and to change plans and times, and she rolled with it. And took on the challenge of taking care of our boys in their brand new surroundings and when we got home, they both seemed happy and well acclimated. Couldn’t have had a better outcome. Good communicator and good person.”


“We are so glad our friends referred Chuck to us for house sitting our two big boys! Chuck did an amazing job--not only did we come to a clean house, but our dogs were well taken care of and we received multiple updates throughout the day. We definitely trust Chuck with our boys and house and will be booking him in the future.”
“Megan sat with my fur babies for 7 days in my house while we were on vacation. She texted pictures and communicated through out the week. Having her take care of my dog and cat in their own home was a blessing and definitely helped with having less stress being away for so long. When I did get home, Roux and Salem looked healthy and happy.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since 2015 and truly enjoy working with pets of all kinds. I am CPR certified and have experience handling many different types of animals and personalities. I also have strong references available. I have over an acre of land with a partially fenced yard, which allows for safe outdoor time, exercise, and play in a calm environment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I keep a pretty open schedule and can work with most days and times, including weekends. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings and do my best to accommodate last-minute needs when possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I provide a calm, supervised environment where pets are always cared for and monitored. I have experience with a wide variety of animals and make sure each pet is handled according to their needs, personality, and routine.

About: Pet sitting is more than just showing up. It's about making sure your animal feels safe, loved, and at ease even when you're not there. Growing up, animals were always a huge part of my life, from cats and dogs to guinea pigs and turtles. That early experience gave me a huge love for pets of all kinds. Your fur baby will be in caring, attentive hands. You can travel and go about your day knowing your pet is genuinely looked after, not just watched. I recently moved back home to Louisiana from living in Denver, Colorado for the past 5 years. With my schedule being so open and flexible, pet care fits naturally into my day. I am able to give your pet consistent attention, timely walks, and plenty of quality time without it ever feeling rushed. Safety and trust are two things that I will never compromise on. When I'm in a client's home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would give my own. I want both pets and their owners to feel completely at ease, knowing their home and their animal are in good hands. I take thorough notes on routines, preferences, and any special needs so nothing gets overlooked. I always make sure the environment stays safe, comfortable, and familiar for your pet.

About: I believe I’m an excellent pet sitter because animals have been a huge part of my life from the very beginning. Growing up on a farm taught me responsibility, patience, and how to care for animals of all kinds. I’ve personally bottle fed kittens, puppies, and baby goats, giving me hands on experience with pets that need extra attention and care. I also attended veterinary classes through LSU’s agricultural program, where I learned valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and proper care. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, medication, or just a comforting presence, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I currently work in Healthcare at North Oaks Hospital. I take care of my pet daily, as I would yours once we figure out which days i’m need to care for your baby! Creating a safe and comfortable environment for every pet is my top priority. I make sure pets always have access to fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention while following their normal routines as closely as possible. I carefully monitor their behavior, keep potentially harmful items out of reach, and ensure all doors, gates, and leashes are secure. By providing a calm, loving atmosphere and paying close attention to each pet’s individual needs, I help them feel safe, happy, and stress free while their owners are away.
About: I am a veterinary assistant at an animal hospital. I love all pets and would love to take care of your fur baby when you need a pet sitter. I have my own dog, pig and cats I have had animals my whole life. I have a huge yard so plenty of room for them to run and have fun. Live away from the road so they would be perfectly safe. Back yard is fenced in. My son & I love to play outside so they would get plenty of exercise. If I kept them at your house I would of course go by all your rules, care and love your pet as if it were my own. They would be well taken care of. I would just love to care for your pet and give them love while you’re away. I’m currently a full time veterinary assistant so I can provide services to animals safely. I l o v e a n i m a l s. I can come to your home and watch and/or walk your fur baby. I have my own fur baby but he does not like other dogs.
“Melanie took excellent care of our pets and our home while we were away. She was very patient with our animals even with their difficult personalities. We would love to have her sit for us again!”

About: I’ve loved dogs since I was little—they’re my favorite thing on this earth. I started pet sitting 2 years ago and it’s been a joy ever since. I provide feeding, watering, walks, bathroom breaks, medication if needed, and even overnight stays to ensure your pets get the best care possible. I only go to school 3 days a week and not for long at all, so my school schedule never interferes with my pet sitting schedule! I have a fenced in yard and 2 small dogs at home! My dogs do not have any problems with other dogs but I do keep them separated from other peoples dogs just in case! I never let them out my site at mine or a clients home.
“Laura was great. She came to our rescue on short notice. Stayed at our house over the weekend so we could take our kids and grandchildren away. She was great with our dogs. Sent pictures and even washed the sheets and towels swept the floor and threw out some expired milk. Thank you Laura we would love to have you in our home when we go to Australia later this year. Angela and Emanuel, Sydney and Samson”
