House Sitting in Atchafalaya

“Danielle was attentive, kind and patient with my pups. I have an elderly dog and a rescue who is very skittish. Danielle took the time to make sure they were each comfortable and made sure to keep me updated while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking again!”

About: I've been in love with animals all my life. They were deep childhood friends and I feel a special bond with them. I grew up on a hobby farm and in 4-H. I am now a retired RN, and I'm enjoying being surrounded by animals again. I have taken care of domesticated cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and gerbils, guinea pigs, and birds. Any animal needing help or love grabs my heart. It is my goal to give this love to your cherished companion when you are gone. I also know how hard it can be for you to be separated from your pet, and am very conscientious about sending updates, pictures/videos and communicating anything else that needs to be communicated. I am working part time, and have afternoons, evenings and weekends available. I am hoping to build up a regular client base and have more time available soon. I live in a small home so I prefer to take care of your loved ones in your home. I am able to overnight: house-sitting, cleaning, and pet-sitting. I have plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and play-time on the days I am working, and welcome all-day care in your home on my time off. I am situationally aware and keep an eye on the environment at all times when walking your pup and playing, as well as on any potential escape routes or hazardous items if eaten or drunk. I am very respectful of your pet's space and routine and take my time to sense in to what will make them feel the most loved, the safest, and the most comfortable while you are gone. I am a reliable communicator regarding anything with your home or your pet that would require your attention.

About: Growing up in the country we always had dogs, cats, sometimes chickens, we had a horse for a few years and I absolutely loved it! My freshmen year I bottle fed five baby kittens and they all survived! I’ve always had a soft heart when it comes to animals and I would love to help to take care of and love yours! I hope to be able to work something out that best suits your and your animals needs! (: I am currently out of work so other than going to the gym I have open availability to tend to your furry friend’s needs while you’re away! I have taken care of all types of animals from new born kittens who required wet towels on their bottoms to induce using the potty to elderly dogs who wanted to be hand fed their food due to anxiety of their owner being away. Whatever your pet needs I am willing to do!

About: Hi, my name is Abby Blanchard and I am currently a dog groomer in Scott, La and have experience at a grooming and boarding facility in Opelousas, La where I would care for the dogs such as bathing, grooming, nail care, feeding, giving water, giving medications, potty breaks, and love on them with play time throughout the day. Animals have always been my passion! I have always had dogs my whole life and also have experience with cats, birds, hamsters, chinchillas, and fish! Since I am now a dog groomer, I also offer bathing and grooming services while your pup gets pampered here in the comfort of my own home! If you choose me to care for your babies, I will treat them as if they were my own. I can handle anything from puppies or kittens to geriatric dogs or cats and anything in between. Please read my reviews and consider me to care for your babies! This job is definitely one of my favorite jobs I’ve ever had! I’m currently a dog groomer during the week and with permission love to take my clients to work with me for daycare and socialization. (They are not kenneled!) On weekends I am totally free to give them all the one-on-one attention! I am very trustworthy if you need me to go into your home for any service as well as taking them into my own home. I would prefer a meet and greet with parents and pets before we get started. I will follow any instructions you have to make you feel safe with me as their caregiver! I also send lots of pictures and updates to you so you can feel at ease while your baby is in my care!

About: I've grown up and cared for dogs my whole life. From the puppy stage to seniors, I've done it all, including taking them to training and socialization courses. I have pet sit on MANY occasions and am happy to do it for you :) I have a larger yard with plenty of room to explore and walk my dog routinely to keep everyone happy and healthy. I currently work 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off so am available for a consecutive 14 days per month. During those 14 days I am available at all hours and will be home. In my own home I have a large area that is not fenced in, but own several long leads to allow dogs to run around. I am willing to work through training requirements as well as providing exercise to keep them entertained!

About: Hi! My name is Shayna Malonson, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals—especially dogs. I grew up with dogs my entire life, and now as an adult with my own home, I’m lucky to have two of my own: Ally (4 years old) and King (2 years old). They are a huge part of my daily life and have taught me so much about responsible, loving care. I personally bathe my dogs, brush their teeth, and handle their basic grooming after learning how to properly care for them myself. Through experience—especially managing my older dog’s dry skin—I’ve learned a lot about different dog food brands, skin-care products, and overall dog wellness. This has helped me become very attentive to each dog’s individual needs. In my free time, I enjoy playing fetch, going on simple walks, and giving my dogs plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home often and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to plan feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest periods without rushing. I build my day around the dogs in my care, making sure they receive regular supervision, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning and evening routines, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m flexible and dependable. I enjoy keeping pets on a steady schedule so they feel comfortable and secure I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated like family and are always supervised. I make sure the space is clean, pet-safe, and free from hazards, with plenty of room for rest, play, and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with basic grooming care such as bathing and brushing, and I pay close attention to skin sensitivity, diet needs, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended outside. Trust and communication are very important to me. I provide updates, photos, and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

“Tenashia was an excellent sitter! I am very pleased at how she took care of Victoria. Great job Tenashia!”

About: Your pets aren't just guests; they are family. As a Veterinary Technician, I provide a level of care similar to having a pediatric nurse watch your children. My journey began at 18 as a bather and kennel tech, but my passion led me to work alongside some of the most skilled veterinarians in the field. ​Following the loss of my children’s father, Justin, I found myself at a crossroads, needing a career that allowed me to be there for my kids while still honoring my calling to work with animals. This led to my current mission: opening my own boarding facility in memory of Justin and my beloved rescue dog, Elsie, who stayed by my side from the day I met him until just days after his passing. ​When you trust me with your 'fur babies,' you aren’t just getting a sitter; you’re getting a professional dedicated to their health, happiness, and safety. I promise they’ll be wagging with joy the moment they hear my name!" I am currently not working due to conflicting hours with my children's school schedule. Therefore, I am flexible with pet sitting hours outside of school pickup/drop off times. As a person who has worked in animal health for a long period of time, safety is my main priority when it comes to your pet. I have done it all, from bathing pets to assisting in surgery. Your pet will always be in safe hands with me.

About: I’ve studied dogs intensely my entire life, and became a certified veterinary technician at the age of 17. I have two years of dog grooming experience as well. I’ve dogsat in the past and absolutely loved it! My passion for animals makes me a great fit, as well as being a CVA and having a certification in animal husbandry. This is my primary source of income, so I’m always free to watch any pets unless I already have someone on my schedule for that day! Based on my certifications, I’m used to taking care of dogs that are elderly, sick, reactive, aggressive, etc. No matter your pups temperament or needs, I can accommodate!

“Abby was wonderful! She was communicative, flexible, and took excellent care of our pets when we had an unexpected overnight trip come up. We’ll definitely be asking her to housesit again!”
