Izzy was so good with Harley ( our senior dog) and very thorough with all the details of Harley’s care. I didn’t worry a bit because her photos of Harley showed he was happy and well taken care of. I definitely will use her again!!!

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have now centered my life around animal care! I currently am going to school for my RVT and am also working in the clinic at our Parish animal shelter. Because of this, I am well versed in most domesticated animal care, am comfortable with special needs/ill pets, and never mind a challenge! I Young-old, excited-skittish, wet-dry, all need care, and I'm excited to help you! No task is too messy or difficult, no guideline is too silly! My husband is very familiar with pet care as well, and he supplements where i cannot be! I am currently working full time from 8-4:30. I am able to handle early morning and evening obligations. Depending on your location, I am also able to do lunch time drop ins! Most of my weekends are open, though I am unavailable about 1 weekend out of the month for work, these weekends follow my weekday availability. My husband supplements any working weekends, and most times in which i am not home! Every animal is different, every animal has their quirks and personality! I am easily adaptable to your pets needs in home and outside. My goal is to make visits and transitions as seamless as possible for your pets; what works for you is what's best for me! WE BOARD MULTIPLE ANIMALS AT A TIME! Sometimes there will be overlap from different households. Please know that we always prioritize safety, are very adaptable with separation and never leave our boarded animals together unattended.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them goes beyond just “watching dogs” for me! I spent nearly a year working at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, as well as energy levels-from playful 4 month old puppies to sweet senior dogs who just need a little extra patience and care. I grew up around dachshunds and dobermans my whole life, and I now have my own Dalmatian that I rescued from illegal breeding. I understand both high-energy breeds and animals with unique personalities. My experience in pet sitting, dog behavior, proper socialization, and enrichment allows me to provide care that is attentive, structured, and tailored to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, mental stimulation, or simply a calm and restful environment, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for and loved while you are away. As a college student out for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Aside from a job commitment one weekend a month, my availability is open for almost anything-walks, drop-ins, and daycare! Your pets comfort and safety are always my #1 priority. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming home where your dog can feel right at home. I make sure they have both companionship and personal space when needed. I have a room in my home with a tall baby gate dedicated for dogs where they can decompress, and nothing will bother them if they want their own space. I also have a very playful and friendly Dalmatian, Siggy, who loves having company around the house. I will always supervise if Siggy would be around your dog, including a safe and proper introduction of the two dogs and continuously watching them when they would be playing.

About: My first career choice as a child was to be a veterinarian. My life took a different path, but I never lost my love and desire to care for dogs. I am an avid dog lover and defender of our four-legged furry friends. We as humans are responsible for the pets that come into our lives, and it is my goal to help assist you with the care of your furry family member when you need it. I have volunteered at a local dog rescue sanctuary and currently work as a volunteer transporter for Save A Lab Rescue. I am a full time, veteran homeschool mom. On-going long-term set schedules work best for me, however, I am willing to consider flexibility based on my client’s needs. I do not board pets in my home. I also do not do overnight pet sitting in my client's homes. Drop ins and walks are my areas of service.

About: I’ve been a vegetarian almost half my life, loving animals since I was born! Elderly, small, or big I’ve taken care of many animals my whole life. In fact I almost went to school to be a vet tech… I’ve had bunny’s, birds, dogs, cats &kittens, hamsters, snails, frogs, lizards, and more. My soul mate dog passed at 19. She chose me when I was 5. I’ve never grieved more than loosing her.. with that I can say I’m very experienced in elderly dog care. I’m currently a stay at home mom, I am very available! My 19 month old baby naps at 10, and is up around 12:30 but we’re easy and times can always be rearranged depending on what your family needs! (Yes we see animals as our family members in our home) I have a fenced yard, and a pool. I have two cats, one is in/ outdoor.. and one that stays inside they’re both very mellow and depending on what you need maybe a sweet friend can sleep over or have a play date! I have a 11 year old daughter and a 19 month old daughter, they adore animals as much as me!!

About: I’ve had 2-3 dogs in the house for the entirety of my life. I have dog/house sat for many people in my neighborhood and have always been a reliable helping hand. I’ve taken care of dogs that have strict diet and medication regimines, as well. I have experience with both big and little dogs. I’m a lover of all animals! I’m finishing up my last year of grad school and have recently moved back home to Mandeville! I currently work at St. Tammany Parish Hospital 4 days a week and have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends! I can make sure to conform to any house rules you may have in place for me and for your pups. I can easily crate your pet, if needed. I am very attentive and full of energy to play with or take your pups for walks.

About: I am an animal science student at LSU (geaux tigers). I have both personal and clinical experience with many pet species and have a deep understanding of their needs and will ensure they are properly cared for. I have plenty of time during the weekends! In addition, I am available early mornings 6-8 am and afternoon/ evenings 3-8pm. These time ranges ensure I’m available during feedings and safe walking temperatures. As an animal science student and personal dog parent, I understand the importance of animals needing to feel loved and safe. I am knowledgeable on proper walking practices as well as common commands for trained dogs in order to keep both the pet and I safe.

About: I enjoy taking care of dogs as I am unable to have a dog of my own due to work travel. I enjoy taking them for walks and runs if they are up for it! I currently travel for work, but home long for stretches to care for your doggie when needed. When I'm home, I'm available the entire day. I have a big front yard and fenced in backyard with a spacious back patio. Lots of room to play and run. If your dog requires a crate, I have the room for that as well.

About: I’ve been around dogs of every size for my whole life. I have owned a 2 lb teacup poodle and a 120 lb Golden Retriever. Neighbors, friends, and family often come to me when they are out of town to watch their pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, as well as during the week for repeat clients by request. I do my best to stay flexible and accommodate each pet’s schedule and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM in the office, but I’m available for drop-in visits in the morning before work, during my lunch break, and anytime after work. I live in a house in Covington, LA with a large fenced-in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run and play. Inside, there’s ample room for pets to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home. I always prioritize each pet’s safety and individual needs. Pets can be kept separate or allowed to interact and play together based on their temperament and owner preferences. I aim to create a calm, secure, and loving environment where every pet feels well cared for.
