About: I always have had dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and farm animals growing up. I’ve never had a time in my life where i didn’t have one or more pet. They are family! ❤️ I am also a server at a restaurant! My shifts are short making it very easy to care for dogs and their needs. I am able to let them outside every 4-6 hours on days I do work. I treat any & every animal with compassion, empathy, and like they are my own baby! I am more than happy to accommodate your pets needs (high energy, low energy, etc), I’m very understanding. I can also medicate if your pet needs medicine.

About: I’ve had almost every pet since I was little. My Dad always loved fish & dogs, and I kind of took to that as well. I currently only have a cat, sadly I lost my Pitbull. I’m open to sitting/taking care of just about ANY PET! As long as they don’t BITE🥴 I have a Fur Baby of my own, so I will just take care of your Fur Baby as best as I would my own😊 I have a pond inside my apartment complex (It is not fenced, but I can supply a leash if needed) it provides a lot of beautiful walking space with ducks to chase, and other things to look at. I have a friendly Fur Baby named Mylo, he’s a Cat. He is in need of some friends!! We are looking for pals to fill our free time!

“Cydney and her family were wonderful sitters for my Standard Poodle. It was really the perfect scenario for him to fit right in and be comfortable while away from home. I will definitely book them again.”

About: I’m an animal lover through and through! Hopefully one day soon, a professional pup groomer☺️ and I would love to spend time with your fur babies!! I would prefer to watch your pup(s) at my house since I do have fur babies of my own, or be able to bring my dog along with me to your house. Only if it’s safe to do so of course! Just for reference, my baby is a male, mini-dachshund. He’s 11 years old and is a timid, loving sweet boy. But if that’s not an option, that’s okay too! I also have two cats who are both loving and do well with dogs! If we’re boarding at my house, I can pickup and drop off for you as well. I work a Monday-Friday job, and am typically off by 4:30! Anytime outside of those hours will be allotted for the care of any fur babies you entrust me with(: I live in a quiet spot not far from LSU! I have a pretty big yard and safe walking areas for long walks. All I’ll need is a collar and leash (:

“Hannah was quick in her responses, especially with our very last minute care of our 11 week old Carina. She made us relaxed from our first meet and greet. Her disposition was soft, therefore, calming us all. We will definitely use Hannah again, and already asked as much 😆 Thank you Hannah!”

About: I love being engaged and active with each and every fur baby I’m blessed to watch. I love seeing their individual personalities blossom and grow! I can travel if needed. I create my schedule around my clients wants and needs. I try my best to be as flexible as possible because life happens to all of us. I am very willing to travel beyond the 60 mile radius allowed. I make sure to stay on any established schedule they may have and make sure that each and every one has the love and affection they so deserve.

I boarded my two dogs with Carol. I received many updates and pictures during their stay. They were quite content and obviously well tended to while I was gone. I will absolutely book with Carol again. I feel very safe with my dogs in care.
