About: As far back as I can remember, I’ve had at least two dogs and would have 10 if I could! I love all animals of all ages and needs. I would love to partner with you by taking great care of your pets while you are away. I am self employed so I am flexible with your needs. Drop-in’s even multiple times daily are my favored availability but I can do over night if needed. We have two dogs that are primarily indoor but have access to a fenced yard through a doggie door. If dogs need to be separated, we kennel. Slow introductions to people and pets are a must.

About: I am a college student and as many of you know it can get quite expensive. So, I decided to give dog sitting a try. I would be more than happy to take care of yours. I’m also, very organized and can keep you up to date on your pets well being. Personally, I grew up with a dog in the house and always found them to be wonderful company. I also believe that it is possible for dogs to change lives ... making them mans true best friend. With this job it’s not only about making money ... it’s about taking care of the four legged friends that are always here for us. I LOVE dogs ! Why not get paid to hang out with some super cute pups ?

About: I’ve always adored pets since I was young. I’ve had many in my life from cats,dogs,and rodents. I know animals are equal beings that need treatment with special accommodations. This requires patience which is almost unlimited for me.i currently have three cats that I’ve owned since they were 3-4 months old they’re now 6. I just got rats a few weeks ago they’re girls 6-8 months old. I believe everything follows a routine dedicated to them and I have no issue aligning myself to these routines. I’m still finishing high school at the moment and I have a job. But besides managing those I’m available weekdays after 4 if I’m not scheduled to work, weekends any time I keep my babies inside as much as possible. They’re allowed to free roam outside since they’re used to that lifestyle from before. They wear flee collars, jam is allergic. I cleanse them with daily grooming and anima safe wipes or soap if necessary. They’re fed 2-3 a day with half a cup or less of cat food I do plan to change their diets eventually. When it comes to other people’s pets I treat them with nothing but love and care and always stay considerate of whatever the owner says I should know about that animal. I’m extremely against cruelty brand products so I will avoid associating or using them.

About: I’m a friendly, dependable pet owner who understands just how much pets mean to their people. I am the primary caretaker of my own dog, Freddy, he’s 3 years old with lots of energy, friendly with other dogs and loves people. I regularly care for my sisters dog and 2 cats while she is out of town, maintaining their normal routines and care. I live in a condo in Mandeville which means I have become extremely familiar with the dog parks, walking trails, dog friendly nature areas and state parks. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I treat every animal as if they are my own while providing photo and text updates so you can feel confident while you’re away!😊 Currently I am the office manager for a primary care clinic in Covington, M-F I am available before work, on my lunch break, and after work for drop ins or dog walking. My weekends are always changing and very flexible. I like caring for pets in their own home because that is where they feel most comfortable, following their normal routine and offering attention and companionship. On walks, I focus on your pets safety, energy level, and making sure they are well hydrated.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets and really enjoy connecting with each one’s unique personality. I’m especially drawn to small- to medium-sized dogs who enjoy both adventures—like hikes or trips to the park—and cozy cuddle time at home. I also love social cats who enjoy attention and interaction. In addition, I have some experience caring for fish and ensuring their environments are clean and healthy. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away. I’ve been pet sitting for friends and family alongside my “job” for about 13 years and now my schedule is much more flexible so I’m eager to make this my primary focus. My work schedule fully flexible so I’m able to work around the schedule of the pets. I do like to take dogs on little adventures if they’re allowed so if there’s a hike they love, we’ll be sure to prioritize that in our schedule!

About: I recently studied at LSU School of Veterinary Medicine and bring over 20 years of hands-on animal care experience to every pet I meet. Before and during veterinary school, I worked as a veterinary technician, where I gained extensive experience caring for animals with complex medical needs and providing attentive post-surgical care. I’ve been surrounded by pets my entire life and consider myself a lifelong dog lover. I’m known for being highly organized, detail-oriented, and deeply committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s administering medications, monitoring recovery, or just offering companionship and play, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs and to the expectations of their family. Your pet’s well-being is always my top priority, and I take pride in offering reliable, compassionate care you can trust. I am the proud owner of Fur de Lis Pet Care, LLC serving the northshore area. You can find us online for more options! I would love to have the chance to care for your fur baby! I will be available for the rest of the year and will update my schedule continuously. Pet safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their pet’s normal routine and environment to minimize stress and promote a sense of security. I take time to learn each pet’s preferences, behaviors, and medical needs so I can provide individualized care—whether that includes administering medications, monitoring recovery after surgery, or simply offering companionship and enrichment. I keep the environment clean and calm, follow all household rules, and send regular updates so owners feel confident their pet is in good hands. My background in veterinary medicine means I’m trained to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort early, and I’m always prepared to respond appropriately. I aim to build trust with every pet and pet parent through attentiveness, empathy, and reliable communication.

We felt very safe leaving our dogs for an extended time with Pamela. She took great care of our 3 big dogs. Even took care of one who was a week post surgery and she handled giving pills to a dog who was a tad difficult. We can’t wait to have Pamela stay with them again!
