Dog Walkers in Colyell, LA

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats, and mini pigs for almost 10 years. I have a flexible schedule throughout the week and weekend. I will keep your fur baby safe and happy! I am currently a full time student. I have a flexible schedule for your pets needs. I can do house sitting, dog walking, drop ins during the week and weekends. I grew up with dogs and cats then eventually a mini pig. I currently have two cats that love to be played with and needs constant attention. When I had a dog and a mini pig I would take them on walks and play fetch with them. I would overall give good care and keep them from being bored.

About: I used to babysit the children of two veterinarians, so I was able to learn a great deal of animal care at a young age. I have volunteered at the local animal shelter since 2014. While I was a teacher, I used to take students twice a week after school to volunteer. I occasionally foster for the local shelters, especially in special cases when pets needed medicine or to be bottle fed. I am the person friends and family call when they have questions about their pets and/or they need someone to watch them. I am in a master's program at SLU for private practice counseling. Classes are every other Monday and every other Tuesday 2-4:45. I have internship Wednesdays and Thursdays from 9-noon. I have plenty of time in the mornings, most afternoons, and evenings to walk, feed, visit/play, etc. I am someone that has a huge soft spot for the fur babies. I have created the spoiling habits with my babies, so I am diligent about adhering to other people's ways and habits with their babies. I lost my 16 year old rat terrier a year ago. She dealt with lots of anxiety, especially when I was not around, so I try to give the babies extra love knowing they probably feel off without their humans. Also, my Lucy developed canine dementia the last 9 months of her life. I have a great amount of patience and compassion for the aging babies.

“Tenay is a skilled and enthusiastic dog walker who keeps in touch when caring for pets. She stayed with my pup for three days while I was out of town, and did a great job, even managing to get my "loves to nap" dog out for some long walks (which he needs). She sent photos and videos and I felt confident that he was Ok at all times.”

About: I’m 18 and home for the summer, and I’ve been pet sitting for about 4 years. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, having had 9 cats and 6 dogs with varying ages, so I’m very comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m reliable, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I take my dogs for walks every day around noon to make sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. I also feed my dogs and cats twice a day (morning & night) and stick to a consistent routine to keep them happy and healthy. I’m home for the summer, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the care and attention they deserve. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their environment. I follow all instructions closely and keep pets on their normal routines, including feeding, walks, and playtime. I maintain a clean and safe space, pay attention to their behavior, and make sure they feel relaxed and loved. I treat every pet like they’re my own.

“Thank you so much for walking Lily!!”

About: I've worked at dog daycares for 3 years as well as pet grooming! I also plan on studying environmental/animal science soon! Animals are my passion!! Currently working part time as well as studying online! So I have plenty of open space and time to care for your fur baby! I walk each morning and love being outdoors! I have a large yard and plenty of land and a friendly neighborhood to walk your fur baby!! I can easily kennel pets and have experience in spoiling and corrective behavior!

About: Hi, I'm Terrie! I'm a stay at home wife with nothing but time on my hands making it so I can easily accommodate last minute schedule changes or vacations at the drop of a hat! I have experience with all breeds and enjoy getting to snuggle and love on other people's pets since my family gave me a firm 'no more pets' rule lol. I never knew such rules existed until recently but that's okay... That's where animal sitting comes into play! Love on them and then send them back is my new personal motto! My family: They're incredibly hands on with any animal that comes into our home. They both love to tag along during drop-ins. There is never not a moment your animal won't be cared for and loved on. Meet our pets: We have six spoiled cats and three lovable Siberian huskies named Diamond (16), Hudson (12) and Cody (10). All our pups are up-to-date on vaccinations and on monthly flea and heartworm preventative. Having had mostly huskies for the past 17 years, we know the ins and outs of the breed, so you can trust even the sneakiest of houdinis in our care! I do require a meet and greet ahead of time with any new pups that will be staying with us - mainly to make sure we're the right fit and our pack gets along safely with yours. I also request dogs visiting with us be preferably fully potty trained, cat friendly, UTD on vaccinations and also on some sort of flea preventative as our babies have a slight flea allergy. Important: If you're outside of radius (10 miles or more), I do charge an extra fee of $10 to cover mileage and the time to travel to your home. Big, small, or exotic (I've owned tarantulas, rabbits, hedgehogs and snakes in the past) - I promise that your baby will be in great hands and be treated just like they're our own: spoiled rotten and loved!

About: I’ve always had a passion for nature and animals you can find me taking my dog out on a trail hike every weekend! I’ve had multiple dogs in my life and know how to handle a variety of breeds (border collies, terriers, and larger dogs.) Animals are angels in my eyes and I hope to be able to take care of your angel and give you peace of mind and a carefree day! I currently attend LSU, so my schedule fluctuates depending what my classes require or if I have a test scheduled or even acting performance. I’m highly committed to my studies in wildlife conservation and resource management! I prefer not to host dogs in my house due to being a college student, but the app requires a response to be a sitter.

“Chuck was amazing with our pups. He really does love animals in such a way, they become his family. I definitely would use his services again, in future!”

About: Before Rover 👵🏻 I would get recruited as a kid to watch my relatives’ pets while they were away. In college, I would house and pet sit for my boss and coworkers. I have two cats, but have a very soft spot for pups, too. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I’m available for walks during the day/ evening and for house sitting or check ins. I will treat your baby like they’re my own! I know they get sad when you’re away, so I am available for extra love and keeping things as normal as possible.

About: I am a full time veterinary technician and I love it! I couldn't have asked for a more rewarding job. While you are away you can rest assured that I will responsibly care for your pet and follow your care instructions. I am knowledgeable about what signs or symptoms to watch for and will be monitoring him or her for any issues. I've worked with animals my entire life. From rescuing stray cats as a child to competing in equestrian shows as a teen. I've always felt a special connection with animals and felt compelled to help them however I could. I want you and your pet to have a stress free experience while you are away. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies.

“Fantastic! My dog liked her, she was attentive to detail and I’d absolutely recommend. She was also very communicative and always had an upbeat, positive attitude.”

About: I have a weird work schedule, but I can come to your house to walk and/or feed your pets during the day while you’re at work or away on vacation. I can also come stay at your house and house-sit for you as well (water plants, clean litter boxes, feed fish, etc). Unfortunately, I live in an apartment and don’t have a yard, so watching your pet at my house will be a case by case basis. I am honest, reliable, and trustworthy. I have a dog and a cat of my own, and I have been house/pet sitting for friends and family for 10+ years. The majority of my experience is with dogs and cats but I follow instructions well and I am open to other pets as well. I was also a registered foster for the local shelter, and I helped them out with foster dogs when I could. I love all pets and will be sure I love and care for your fur babies just as you would while you’re away! My work schedule is all over the place but I am an extremely detailed planner and will make the rime to care for your fur babies while you are away. I know that our pets are part of our families and they thrive on routines. I strive to keep your fur babies as close to their normal routine as possible while youre away.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was little. My family has been apart of a greyhound rescue group for 15+ years which has allowed me to be accustomed to larger dogs as well as small ones. Along with dogs, I’ve also grown up around/caring for cats most of my life. I’m a teacher about to be on summer break so I’m free to watch or walk your baby whenever needed! My schedule is pretty flexible to work around your needs. With volunteering and helping in the rescue group, I can easily crate your dog if need be. I also have experience administering medication if needed.

About: I've had pets since I was born almost 42yrs ago. I've typically been the soul caretaker of dogs, cats and guinea pigs during those years. I work from home so I'm always here to care for your pets. They will be very well supervised and loved like my own. I currently work from home and have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I have a 9 year old daughter. We all love animals of all kinds! Someone will always be available to give the pets full time, love and attention. Our animals we take care of are all very spoiled and loved.

About: Hi my name is Olivia! I’m 25 years old and I am looking to take the absolute best care of your pets! I’ve had experience fostering kittens and also taken care of a boxer for 3 years every day while nannying. I also have experience taking care of a dog with special medical needs. I have a huge heart for dogs (and cats) of all sizes! I have 2 dogs and a cat of my own! I will always go the extra mile to make sure your fur babies feels safe and loved. House sitting, walking, bathing, feeding, weekend boarding, playing, and check ins are what I am willing to do. If you have any special requests you can just let me know!

About: Hello! My name is Zoe and ever since I was a kid I have loved pets. I grew up on a farm with dogs and many cats, along with chickens and ducks, so I am accustomed to having the responsibility of taking care of animals. Currently I have one dog of my own, she’s a blue healer named Delilah :) I don't have much professional experience but family and friends always rely on me to watch their dogs and cats anytime it is needed. I work most week days but my job is very flexible so I’m always happy to accommodate your pets schedule. Feel free to reach out! I’m currently living in an apartment so it is a bit difficult to accommodate other animals in such a small living space, though, when in clients homes I always respect their animals schedule!
