Very nice and patient with my nervous puppy! Sent a cute picture while on their walk and told me about how it went. She also brought treats with her to reward him for pottying outside.

Emma was reliable and trustworthy. She showed up to walk my dog on time, and took many pictures throughout the walk. I loved receiving them throughout the hour!

Emily was so great for my little wild man! He's a "spitfire" as Emily said, and he's got some special needs, but she handled him just fine and they had a lovely time. Thank you, Emily!

About: My family and I have always had multiple dogs raised from puppies to full grown dogs that I helped to care for. This includes walking, bathing, feeding, playing fetch, trimming nails and taking them to the vet. I have also taken care of our farm animals daily needs. I work part time and my day to day schedule is very flexible. I am open to same day sitting jobs if needed. I am available to take dog to the vet as well. I have one friendly dog that loves furry company. I can accommodate needs of sitting location, depending on client’s preference. I have toys, crates, treats and dog beds to ensure comfort and needs are met.

About: I’ve raised my dog, Tino, since I’ve been 10! I’ve gone through all the stages from a pup to now a senior dog. I am also currently studying to become a DVM so I love all furry friends! :) I have 100+ volunteer hours at animal shelters and I currently work part time at a pet boarding facility. I’m free mostly every weekday and anytime on the weekends. I usually take pets out 3-4 times a day for potty breaks. I love every pup size and I’ll enjoy snuggling with them or running around with them! I have a fenced backyard with a super chill senior dog that would love to meet other animals. We have a very calm home so no loud noises or disruptions. I also have a crate for small to medium dogs if needed.

About: My wife and I have 3 cats and recently had to put my dog of 13 years down due to complications from Cushing’s Disease. I love pets and have experience with giving dogs and cats medications as well as walking and routine pet care. I set my schedule to active when my family is out of town so I have time to focus on doing this! My time is specifically blocked out so I don’t have anything else to do and can respond here. I have a large, fully fenced in backyard with plenty of space to run around safely in. There are plenty of trees and lots of birds to chase too!

About: I live alone with no kids or other pets, which means your dog will enjoy a calm, quiet environment with my full attention. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to provide care, companionship, and supervision. I have a fenced-in backyard for safe play and outdoor time. As a lifelong animal lover and former German Shepherd owner, I understand the joy and responsibility of pet care—my favorite part was the bond we built through daily attention and affection. I bring that same love and dedication to every dog I welcome into my home. I have a very flexible routine since I work from home and live in a walkable neighborhood. I love taking walks throughout the day, which makes it easy and natural to include your dog in my daily schedule. Whether it’s morning strolls, midday potty breaks, or evening wind-down walks, your dog will fit seamlessly into my routine and get plenty of attention and exercise. In my home, your dog will be cared for with close attention to their specific routines and needs. I’ll follow your instructions exactly—whether that’s feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, crate training, or preferred walking times. I understand how important consistency is, especially when your dog is adjusting to a new environment. With a fenced-in backyard, your pup will have a safe space to play and explore freely. Since I work from home, I can easily adapt my day to match your dog’s routine and ensure they feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for throughout their stay.

About: I’ve parented a wide variety of animals such as chameleons, bearded dragons, and fish. I’ve cared for ages from bottle fed to senior and everything in between! I have also cared for anxious/terrified animals. I have gone through heartworm treatment with a dog start to finish, so I can administer medication! I’m typically available midday and morning but can be adjusted as needed depending on the request. Pretty flexible, full time flight student, check calendar for availability. I feed the cats and dog together in the morning then again around 6pm. They are usually self sufficient during the workday but I walk the dog in the morning (her usual loop) then around 4PM then once before bed. We play throughout the day and occasionally get churu. Dog sleeps in the kennel and cats free roam. Dog is baby gates downstairs when we aren’t home. Dog sometimes zooms outside, let her go she never goes far.

About: I have had and taken care of pets of all kinds (but especially dogs) since I was very young! I’ve had experience with puppies, young dogs, and older dogs, male and female. Even now I help take care of relative’s dogs and I love it. I feed, watch, walk, and make sure they’re happy! I stay in good shape and walk / workout every day, so I am able to handle larger breeds if needed! I live near LSU lakes which is a great place for walking, I usually go around the lakes when I go for walks, so I am familiar with the area well. It’s a great experience for people and pets! I live near LSU lakes! I am a very healthy and fit individual. I do Pilates every day in the morning and it is usually over by 11am. I go on walks often. I am mostly available 11-2pm but I am very flexible and can change my schedule easily within a days notice if needed! If a morning time is more preferable I can absolutely make adjustments to fit that into my schedule! :) I do not have any dogs or cats within my home currently, (but I have pet sat for relatives that live near me for years and I have a LOT of experience with pets, I am an animal lover 🐾). Any pet works just fine to go inside and outside!

Callie helped us out when one of us was traveling. She walked our dog all week and was courteous, on time and kept us informed with pictures and updates. Our dog seemed to have a blast with her and was happy to go to bed after long walks. Would definitely use Callie’s services again. Thank you very much Callie.

About: I have three cats and a recent rescue dog. I have experience socializing dogs and cats including recent rescues/terrified animals. I have sat for animals of all ages and administered medications effectively to both dogs and cats. In addition to dogs and cats I can also take care of reptiles, arthropods, and small mammals. My parents have a 14-year-old dog that requires daily medication, eye drops, and mobility aide and I frequently care for him so you can rest assured that I can care for seniors! I also have experience with heartworm positive pups that are in treatment, as my girl just went through it herself. I have one class every morning but after that I just have to write for work so I can work from anywhere. Weekends I am completely free unless otherwise noted. The cats are fed twice a day (1/2 can of wet food per meal) and the litter boxes are thoroughly scooped every day. Enrichment through play, leash walks, and playing with each other depending on the cat's preferences. The dog is a pit/lab mix and is fed twice a day (1 cup per meal) and is walked at least 4 times per day or whenever she needs to go out. Enrichment is provided through lick mats, puzzle toys, and regular toys. We work on training as often as possible.

About: Cat owner for 22 years. Never owned my own dog but have taken care of dogs of all sizes since about 8 years old. I can handle bigger dogs as well as I spent about 4 months training a Cane Corso mastiff. I have pretty open availability. My typical routine includes breakfast, plenty of pets, treats throughout the day, playtime for at least 30 mins and dinner. Am happy to follow your pets routines if that is important to you. With my pets I typically feed them twice a day with treats throughout the day.
