About: I have a great deal of experience caring for animals. I have a special passion for animals with special needs or chronic illness. I am able to administer pills, liquids and injections. I currently work a a veterinary clinic in town. I am available for weekend house sitting/ pet sitting. During the week I can be available mornings mid day and evenings to let pets out and spend time with them. I think it is very important to not only take care of a pets basic needs but also their emotional needs. I think a little extra time spent petting or playing with a pet can make a huge difference in a pets happiness

About: I've taken care of my two dogs for 8 years. We like to go on walks or to the park. They like to have play time. I am currently in between jobs so I have extra time to tend to your pups! I am looking for extra work to keep me busy. I will make sure they are fed and have water. If they have a backyard, I can take them play outside. If they don't, I will make sure their leash is secured and take them walk around.

About: I have a deep genuine love for animals! I treat them as if they were my own. I have a field able for pets to enjoy and a big track for walking. I have a dog of my own. His name is cooper and he is 4 years old. He is a border collie mixed with pekingese. I can always send updates when your pets are in my care. Available anytime. Ever since I was young I grew up with animals and would rescue them. I understand the safety of your pets and will make sure they are in great care so you have no worries. Food and water will always be available to animals and also on walks. I would love to care for your pet! I currently work a part-time job so I have a flexible schedule!

“Jenna seemed to do a wonderful job walking Darcy for us! It was great to get the comments about her and to see the maps of where they walked. Jenna told us that Darcy adjusted to us being gone after a couple of days. She seems to have enjoyed being in her own home instead of boarding. We appreciate the great care Jenna gave Darcy. She obviously loves dogs and is very caring. We would certainly ask for her again by name.”


About: I've been a proud pet parent to several fur babies over the years and have always been the go-to helper for family and friends. I’ve also had the joy of fostering puppies through our local rescue. I truly believe our pets are family and understand the importance of treating them with that respect. I live in Abbeville but work in Broussard so I can be available in multiple areas! I work a typical 8 to 5 full-time but can be available mornings, lunches, nights, and weekends when available. My schedule can be flexible at times if scheduled ahead of time. I have a large yard, two dogs (inside) and a cat (outside). Our pups are trained to stay in the parameters of our yard and leashed trained as well. Their crates are available if they would like to sleep in them but aren't locked often unless staying in a place that requires them to be when we travel.

About: I take the time to observe and listen to what a pet is feeling. If he or she needs cuddles, I’m ready. If he or she is nervous I will respect the need for distance. I want your pet to feel comfortable with me. I have been taking care of animals my entire life and when I meet a new friend they usually sense that about me. I am currently working part-time. I get up very early in the morning to make sure all animal needs are met before I leave the house. Everyone gets their morning snuggles, outside time, treats, fresh water and clean areas. Then we chill for a bit. When I get home we all immediately go outside for an hour of play (sometimes more). I have a fenced yard that is great to run around in. If I am coming to your home I will play outside and inside, whichever is your preference. I offer snuggles, treats, toy/ball playing, clean up and lots of conversation to your pet.

“I highly recommend Tenashia to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter. Their dedication and love for dogs are truly unmatched, and I will definitely be booking their services again in the future. Thank you, Tenashia, for taking such wonderful care of Ruger and Willow!”
