Kim was fantastic with our girls. She was timely, great communication, kept us engaged and happy with awesome photos of Happy Puppies. Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to watch Ladybug & Ollie. ❤️. We will definitely be rebooking

About: I’m currently a second-year veterinary student with several years of hands-on experience in animal care. I began working in veterinary clinics at 17, where I assisted with patient care, treatments, and monitoring. I’ve also volunteered with shelters and nonprofit organizations, participating in spay/neuter and vaccination events and helping care for animals in a variety of settings. Through these experiences, I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, monitoring for health concerns, and handling pets with patience and care. Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, feeding, or a walk, I prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’m a veterinary student, so my schedule varies slightly, but I have consistent availability for drop-in visits and dog walking throughout the week. I’m typically available mornings, evenings and nights, depending on the day, and I try to be as flexible as possible to accommodate your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and any specific care needs. I take the time to observe each pet’s behavior and wellbeing, and I’ll always communicate updates so you feel reassured while you’re away. As a veterinary student, I’m trained to notice early signs of illness or discomfort and respond appropriately.

Emma did an amazing job watching our little pup this week! While we were out of town she stopped in every day, fed, watered, and walked Brodie. She went above and beyond showing him love and affection and even bought supplies and doctored him up when he injured himself while home alone. 10/10, we will absolutely be using Emma every time. Thanks Emma!

About: I have over a year of experience in animal daycare and/or kennel settings, and can quickly assess a pet's body language and accomodate for discomfort or unique needs. I have a part time job Monday through Wednesday, but I can make myself available with enough planning ahead, and usually have afternoons and evenings free. I need at least two day's notice for weekends. I follow client's intructions to the letter when caring for pets at their home. When needed (e.g. for brachycephalic dogs) I will ask for a safe harness or collar option to avoid restricted breathing.

About: I am a Least intrusive minimally aversive dog trainer, and AKC evaluator. I foster with multiple rescues. I have experience working with all types of dogs. I am very knowledgeable on dog body language, behavior, and genetics. You can also visit us on instagram for pictures of past and current boarding pups, and don’t forget to send us a message on Instagram with the word “Rover” to unlock an exclusive discount Avalon.k9s I have a flexible schedule as I work for myself, I spend my free time training dogs, and when I’m busy I’m also training dogs. I have a whole room in my house dedicated to dogs, but they’re welcome anywhere in the house, I have a fenced in yard and I’m located close to some lakes. I have tons of unique enrichment opportunities for your pups, including things like snuffle mats, puzzles, kongs, and more. My house is puppy proofed, because I often foster and train dogs! Being a multiple dog household I cannot board any dog with same sex aggression, human aggression, or idiopathic aggression, and reactive dogs will be a case by case basis, However, being a trainer I am more than open to help families work through these issues. Please let me know of any medical conditions or allergies! I like to use treats when working with dogs, so I recommend bringing some yummy high value treats so their tummy doesn’t get upset! If you are interested in dog training and would like to do a Board & Train contact me for more details! I also offer training packages during boarding, so if you want your pup to work on some basic obedience feel free to ask for more info!

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: I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old when I got my first pup, a Shih Tzu. I have had small dogs, medium dogs, and super large pups and I love them all equally. I also have experience with special needs dogs and senior dogs who may need a little more attention. I also have experience house training pups. My dogs are apart of my family and yours will be too! ?ATTENTION: I am a Saints and LSU season ticket holder, if you’re looking for a sitter during the games I am NOT your girl, as I will be there too! I’m sorry for any inconvenience this causes. I’m also not home during the day. I work an office job and check in on the pups at lunch.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, ferrets, snakes, you name it. Proven ability to provide the proper care for the pets as stated by family, friends, and neighbors! I have a flexible schedule as I work and am in school only part time. I love spending my free time with pets, it is my passion! It depends on the service you are signing up for but I have an acre of land with a fenced in yard that the pets can roam on. I also have a two story roomy house they will have access to!
