Dog Walking In Bayou Saint John

About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.

About: Hi, I’m Hanna! I love exploring the city with the help of your animals! My favorite thing to do in my free time is read a book on my porch. I have a big black cat named Jeff who is super friendly and loves people and attention. I’m used to living in a neighborhood filled with friends who need assistance with walking and feeding their pets so I would love to help you out. My schedule is super open and flexible so feel free to message me with any questions. I’m open to last minute bookings and hopefully meet some reoccurring faces! I can also care for other pets outside of cats and dogs. Excited to meet you!! I can work dog walking and pet care into my schedule as needed! Would love to work caring for your pet(s) into my daily or weekly schedule I can provide care in your home for both dogs and cats or provide only short term care in my home for small (or larger elderly) dogs when available

“Last minute went out of town and she was able to accommodate us for a walk!! Daphne is the best, so sweet and I know my pup is in great hands!”

“Madelynn is absolutely amazing with my dog Kissez. Kissez is not always the easiest little dog to handle, but Madelynn has been patient, dependable, and has truly stuck with her. Now Kissez gets excited and looks forward to her visits everyday. I can definitely see this becoming a long-term arrangement. Madelynn is trustworthy, caring, and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter/walker.”

“Darin was very patient with my dog while we worked through some anxiety issues on our end. He was also on time and gave my boy some good, long walks while I was out of town.”

“Michelle has always been prompt and thorough. She is knowledgeable and will go above and beyond to accommodate your and your pet’s needs. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Lindsay is incredible. Our pup loved her as do I. I trust her as does my pup. She was mindful of a meniscus issue that my girl has by allowing her to dictate a much shorter walk, and instead Lindsay stayed with her for the remainder of the scheduled time to love and play with her inside. She thoughtfully filled her water bowl before leaving, and sent me a the most wonderful pictures of their time together. I will be scheduling a weekly standing with her.”

Jennifer M.

“Stacy and Patrick are awesome! They always leave detailed reviews of our dog’s walk which makes us feel comforted. We also appreciate their availability whenever we need them. We know they can take care of our crazy husky. We highly recommend them!”

Mandy Y.

“Gave Oatmeal lots of love and attention! Was right on time for their walk, and even gave her extra attention back home. She was automatically comfortable with Alaina!”

About: I have many years of experience working in the animal industry, not only from managing dog daycare and boarding facilities, but also managing a therapeutic management company for animal healthcare specializing in PCR molecular diagnostics for all animals. (A-Z; Anteaters to Zebras!) My background combines hands-on pet care experience with animal health knowledge, allowing me to provide attentive, safety-focused care for pets of all ages. My home environment is designed to be comfortable, structured, and enriching. Dogs are welcome throughout the home and can lounge on the couch, relax on one of the many dog beds, nap in the bedroom, enjoy enrichment toys and tunnels, splash in the kiddie pool, brush-outs, and receive plenty of photo updates during their stay. My yard is fully fenced for safe outdoor time, and routines are tailored to each dog’s personality and comfort level. Dogs may also sleep in bed with me if that matches their normal routine, or in a kennel if that is their preferred setup. I have two dogs of my own, so all boarding/daycare guests must be social and comfortable around other dogs of different breeds, sizes, genders, and ages. Grouping is always done thoughtfully based on temperament, play style, energy level, and size. My home is best suited for low to medium energy dogs, and I especially love caring for senior pets and more relaxed personalities. I do take high energy dogs on case-by-case basis. Safety is my top priority, and because this is also my personal home, I do maintain a few requirements prior to booking: • Dogs must be potty trained. Occasional accidents happen and are completely understandable, especially during transitions or with puppies learning routines. However, dogs with ongoing indoor marking or frequent accidents may not be a good fit for future stays. • Puppies and dogs actively working on potty training are welcome, but owners must be transparent regarding current progress and needs. • I require disclosure of ANY bite history, prior daycare dismissal, behavioral concerns, reactivity, resource guarding, etc. • Nervous behaviors such as stress signals, occasional air snaps, growling, baring teeth, or boundary setting when uncomfortable can happen and do not automatically disqualify a dog. However, true aggression or unsafe behavior toward people or animals is not accepted. I maintain a zero-tolerance policy for aggression. • Owners must disclose ANY destructive behaviors, including chewing furniture, scratching doors, escaping crates, counter surfing, eating non-food items, digging, etc Transparency helps me create the safest environment possible! • Any damages caused during a stay may result in repair/replacement charges, with a minimum charge of $100 if damage occurs. Please note that Rover does not cover damages done inside a sitter’s personal home. • Please let me know if your dog is kennel trained, whether they require crating when left alone, and if they do well in a kennel or tend to become destructive only while confined. Dogs may rest freely in the home depending on behavior and routine compatibility. My care style focuses heavily on structure, manners, redirection, enrichment, safety, and positive guidance while still allowing dogs to relax, have fun, and feel at home. Please also note that Rover takes approximately 20% from sitters and adds an additional 11% to clients. If this is your first Rover booking, feel free to use my referral link for $20 off Even if you don’t book with me, I still hope you’re able to save a little! Thank you for taking the time to read through everything and for considering me with your pet’s care. I truly believe transparency and communication create the best experience for everyone involved- especially your pet! The more information I have regarding your dog’s routine, behaviors, likes/dislikes, quirks, anxieties, and needs, the better I can tailor their stay and provide the safest and most comfortable environment possible. Please never hesitate to ask questions or provide extra details! I genuinely would rather know “too much” than not enough. My goal is always to set every dog up for success. Throughout my career, I have worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, temperaments, and medical backgrounds, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, behavior cases, and dogs requiring medication or additional management. While I do not allow aggression within my home environment, I do have professional experience working with behavioral challenges and understand that every dog is an individual. I am also PACCC Certified (Professional Animal Care Certification Council Certified Professional Animal Care Provider), and Pet CPR & First Aid Certified, with hands-on experience. As someone who has managed daycare and boarding environments, worked within animal healthcare, and cared for many different personalities over the years, I understand that trust is everything when leaving your pet with someone. I take that responsibility very seriously and treat every pet as if they were my own. Thank you again for considering me, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member(s)! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or administering any special care they need, I prioritize their well-being. I also plan my schedule to allow flexibility for pet sitting, ensuring I can accommodate different needs, whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly fur baby to keep your pup company! There are plenty of enrichment toys to keep them busy, along with natural, tasty treats for some extra tail wags. It’s definitely a dog’s world in this household!

“Angela did a terrific job walking my dog. She was prompt and flexible with start times. She even walked him in the cold rain one day! I would definitely hire her again as a dog walker to help me out.”

“Elizabeth did a great job caring for Zelda She was also able to modify the days needed. Elizabeth spent time walking Zelda, giving here a snack and fresh water”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a kid, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with senior and younger pets. I cared for my own dog in her later years when she developed back leg problems. I helped her move around the house, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her lots of love and patience every day. I additionally took care of my other dog in her early months waking up multiple times nightly to calm her down. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m confident in handling all kinds of needs. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, so I’m able to care for pets whenever needed. Pet care easily fits my routine, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pets specific needs and schedule.your pets comfort and routine will always come first. I believe pets are most comfortable and relaxed in their own home, which is why I only offer care in the clients space. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect in return. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: I have been caring for pets all my life! I had a dog of my own and am now looking to help care for others' furry friends. I can provide references! I am currently not working, as I just graduated with two master's and am taking some time off before starting a job. My schedule is very flexible. I am a clean, reliable pet sitter and will take great care of your home while watching your pet. I can potentially watch at my home if needed, but I do not have a fenced-in yard and have roommates.

“Kelly is amazing! So many thank yous for taking care of my doggo! You’ve been a huge help in keeping him happy and healthy. You’ve pivoted from dog walking to helping shuttle my little furry dude home from doggy day camp. Due to my work schedule at the hospital not allowing me to pick him up, you have become such a blessing. Thank you thank you thank you and I cannot recommend you enough!”

About: "The bond between humans and animals is a silent promise: love without conditions, loyalty without end” I am an animal advocate and caretaker, a humane society volunteer, foster mom and have had dogs & cats of my own. My roster has included: dogs, cats, ducks, birds, bunnies, amphibians, reptiles and tortoises. I am an artist, actor, dancer and nature lover. Every creature I have found has become a dear friend. I have the freedom to make my own schedule. I am flexible and can work with last minute requests and extending travel dates as needed. I offer pet care in the pets/owners home at this time. I keep to the routine: walks, feeding times and following instructions provided. I love taking photos and will send updates daily or as much as requested.

“Anne is wonderful!! I am so happy she was able to take care of my dogs again. She was very flexible about adding and subtracting walks as needed. Highly recommended!”

“We have a new puppy and are so happy to have found Olivia to come walk her and give her food/water when we can't be home for a stretch of time.”

“Ayanna was such a wonderful person to have walk our dogs while my mom was away. One of our dogs takes a little time to warm up to people but after a day when she realized Ayanna was there to help her, she gladly joined her sister in their daily walks. It was great knowing they were in good hands! Thanks you, Ayanna!”
