About: Hi, I’m Allison! 😊 Our pets are like family, so loved and irreplaceable.❤️❤️ I’ve had around 10 years experience caring for animals. I bring a calm, compassionate, and dependable presence to every home. I adopted a senior dog about 5 years ago and committed to giving her the very best end of her life, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and medication management. I’m great with both cats and dogs and happy to care for other animals as well. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. 🐾 I offer pet sitting and housesitting. Can do overnights. Can play with animals and do short walks. Have a great way of calming animals. :) I am super flexible at the moment! I just finished grad school and in Baton Rouge working part time for the next couple months. I will be moving in August, but hoping for the opportunity to work with some families in the mean time. I maintain your pet’s daily routine, including feeding, short walks, playtime, and administering medication if needed. I’m attentive to signs of stress or illness, clean up accidents promptly, and ensure fresh water and a tidy space at all times. I also send regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Jasmaine was an amazing sitter! My one-year-old pup has some separation anxiety, so it was really important for me to find someone who could care for him at home and give him the attention he needs throughout the day. Jasmaine took the time to come meet Draco beforehand, which I really appreciated, and Draco loved her right away! While I was away, she kept me updated with lots of pictures and regular check-ins, which gave me so much peace of mind. I truly felt like he was in great hands. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Lena was wonderful. Our dogs were very well cared for and we received several pictures each day where they appeared to be very happy. She followed several directions for medications and different foods for each pet. She is highly recommended!”
About: As someone who grew up in and out of vet clinics, I have a lot of experience with caring for and watching cats and dogs. At the moment, I’m working part time at different hours. I’ll be available for overnight care on weekends and before and after work hours during the week. I live in a four bedroom apartment with three roommates so I will only be able to care for pets in clients’ homes. I make sure to stimulate the pet with play and outdoor activities while also ensuring rest during hotter times of the day. Overnight, I would allow the pet to sleep in the room with me so they can feel safe and comfortable.
“Carson was great! She accepted the booking last minute, showed up on time, and sent me so many pictures of my boy! She left my house in actual better condition than I left it! Will 10/10 use her again.”
“Karli stayed at my house and took care of my dog while I was out of town, and she did an absolutely amazing job. She treated my home with respect and my dog with so much love and attention. I received regular updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind the entire time I was away. My dog was calm, happy, and clearly well-cared for when I got back—which is all I can ask for! I will definitely book her again. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I grew up taking care of pets from all breeds and sizes. In the last few years I have taken care of many foster animals while they were waiting on their furever home. I currently work part time as a college student which means plenty of time to take care of fur babies and their needs. Besides, who doesn’t love some furry TLC after class. I keep a clean and safe environment for all pets. I can not function in a mess so why make my furry friends try to do that.
“Emma was fantastic! She kept our two dogs and cat at our home for a week. She was proactive in communications, came to visit us and our pets prior to our trip, and checked in routinely while we were away with pictures of our furry family. She was quick to respond to texts and left the house in great shape! Our babies were well cared for and we will definitely utilize her service again!”
