“I’ve NEVER had someone I haven’t known for years watch or care for my dogs without my supervision. She was SO GOOD for my little man! She was friendly, communicative, and sent plenty of pictures. Such a pleasant experience and I’ll be reaching out to her again if I need something.”


“Used Taylor last minute for a quick Houston trip. She checked on our dogs three times for us. On time each time and the dogs looked like they were having fun in every picture we got. One of my dogs got sick in his crate and on our carpet when we were gone and she cleaned it up and stayed longer to finish the cleaning. I was mortified she had to do it but she was so understanding that things happen. We can appreciate her enough for taking care of our dogs last minute. Will 100% use her again. Thank you so much again.”


About: I have had numerous pets throughout the years including dogs, cats, birds and exotic animals. I also have been a professional sitter for over three years. I have traveled to Virginia, Texas and Rhode Island to care for pets while their owners were on vacation. I can travel in the 100 mile radius for overnight sits only. I specialize in senior pets and those with special needs. I am retired and can dedicate my time to your needs. I can stay in your home where your pet feels most comfortable. I put your pet's needs first. I work closely with my clients to ensure that their needs are met. This includes any special accommodations. I keep in close contact with my clients and update them on a regular basis. I love to send photos and videos of their pets enjoying their time with me!

About: I stand out from other sitters because I genuinely care. Growing up I wanted to be a veterinarian. Your animal will not be mistreated or neglected. I’m new here but if you give me a chance to spend time with your fur baby, you won’t regret it!🥰 I can work with your schedule. I make my own schedule at my job, so it will make things easier. All I ask is that you let me know in advance. Thank you. I have a Very safe environment for your animal. I will not animal-sit more than ONE clinent’s animal(s) at a time for safety reasons, But if that one client has more than one animal, I don’t mind. Thank you for understanding.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic puppies and playful kittens to calm seniors. I’m patient, attentive, and flexible to each pet’s unique needs. I’m comfortable with administering medications, training basic commands, and handling special diets. My passion is making every pet feel safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I dedicate specific times each day for walks, play, and feeding to ensure pets get the attention they deserve. I’m flexible with scheduling and can adjust to early mornings, evenings, or weekends to fit your needs. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a longer stay, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving care I prioritize safety and comfort above all. In my home or yours, I ensure pets have a clean, secure environment where they can relax and play freely. I keep hazardous items out of reach and closely monitor their behavior to prevent any risks. I communicate regularly with owners to provide updates and build trust, so you always feel confident your pet is in good hands

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Since I was 16, I’ve cared for pets of family and friends—everything from dogs and cats to birds, rats, and even horses. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always loved getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve also trained my own dogs and friends’ dogs to do over 30 different tricks, so I’m very comfortable with animals who are energetic, shy, or still learning. Additionally, I spent a few months working at an animal sanctuary in Costa Rica, where I helped care for a variety of animals and gained valuable hands-on experience. Whether they’re a playful puppy, a curious kitten, or a sweet senior in need of extra TLC, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own—making sure they feel safe, comforted, and completely loved while you’re away. I’m currently in between jobs because I am moving out to Lafayette soon. So I’m just looking for side work And my schedule is free. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on creating a calm, loving, and familiar environment. I follow the pet’s usual routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or medication. I make sure they get plenty of attention, comfort, and gentle care, especially if they're shy or have special needs. I have experience with a wide range of animals, including cats, dogs, birds, rats, and even horses, and I currently care for my own special needs cat with brain damage. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and energy, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home—whether they're staying with me or I'm staying with them.

“Highly recommend!! Alexis is the animal whisperer! She is super awesome! She loves all animals and all animals love her. She has watched my two small dogs on many occasions and also has cared for our two large Maine Coon cats. All the neighbors’ animals warm right up to her. Even those that typically are skidish of new people. It is amazing to watch her interact with “difficult” animals. She connects with them like she is their bestie. Weird, but true! She is personable, caring and follows our requests. I highly recommend Alexis!”


About: I am a 20 year old college student with a love for animals! I have 2 dogs and have raised livestock for 10 years. I enjoy going on walks and playing with your furry animal! I currently have a part-time job but tend to make my own schedule week to week. I also have access to get onto Fort Johnson as well! I tend to animals with much love and care as I would my own! I also pay close attention to them knowing how quickly an animal can go from having a runny nose to be very sick.

About: Currently working as a biologist on Fort Johnson - my home is completely fenced, located only 15 minutes from base. I pet sit frequently wherever I go because I love it! I have a pup of my own, and I'll treat yours as if they were mine. They'll go on long walks, short car rides, go running, go swimming, play fetch, and generally be too busy having fun to be sad you're gone. I can also take it easy with an older dog or cats. I will also water plants, take care of reptiles or other animals, and other reasonable tasks while you are away. I love dogs and I haven't met one yet that doesn't like me! I work full-time on Fort Johnson, except during federal holidays. I can take hour-long lunch breaks, and I'm usually off and available by 3pm. On weekends, I'm almost always free! I am patient and calm, which I believe many animals respond well to. I also treat every pet as well as I treat my own - and trust me, they are treated VERY well!

About: I’m not just a sitter—I’m a consistent, calm presence who communicates openly with pet parents, shares daily updates and photos, and creates a stress-free environment for both you and your dog. Whether your pup needs high-energy playtime, slow walks, or extra cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to fit their lifestyle. I have two dogs myself, so pet care truly does come naturally! I’ve had to administrate meds, crate train, potty train, and deal with puppies teething, so I’m more than capable of helping others have care for their pets when they’re away! In my home, my dogs are indoors 95% of the time since they’re both big furry dogs and the Louisiana heat is no joke! They have scheduled feedings and are crate and potty trained, but I have experience with puppies who need a little extra attention. I also have helped senior pets with medications and a slower paced walk and environment overall. I truly love taking care of animals and am very flexible with schedules and adaptability to ensure whatever schedule they are used to, I will also implement. I know how important consistency is!

About: I offer a unique blend of experience, reliability, and genuine care for your pets. My tailored approach ensures their wellbeing, creating a stress free environment for both pets and owners. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. I prioritize feeding, exercise, and affection, ensuring pets’ needs are met consistently, enhancing their overall wellbeing. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for pets. This includes regular feeding, exercise, grooming, and companionship, tailored to their individual needs, whether in my home or theirs.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for my whole life. I am an animal lover. I was put into dog shows since the age of 8 years old and have continued showing dogs and I still do. I have trained many dogs, young and old. Some never before even been on a leash. I have spent my life caring for, training, and grooming dogs. I currently work at a dog grooming shop where I encounter several different dogs daily. I’m currently staying with my boyfriend in town for the month and I won’t be working a job so I thought I could try and help others out. I should be free most of the time any day so don’t be afraid to ask. I have 3 dogs of my own, of which only two stay with me currently. In my apartment I have crates to house them when I am not there and I take my dogs on regular walks. I have house sat with some friends and family, taking care of up to 12 dogs in one home.

About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember some dogs a few cats and many others, I've cared for 3 senior dogs 2 senior cats and raised 3 puppies I'm currently enrolled in school as a senior so I have plenty of time to take care of animals and I am currently looking for a part time job I have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room and one friendly German shepherd if your dog doesn't like being alone by itself

“We have had Linda in our home at least a half a dozen times caring for our senior dog. She followed all medication and diet restrictions and took amazing care of our little one. Did not matter how many days we were gone, just a few or 10 days.. our home looked exactly the same as when we left. She takes pictures and videos daily so you can see how your pet babies are doing. We would highly recommend Linda in a heat beat.”

Ana Sofia G.
“I can't say enough good things about my pet sitter, Ana Sofia! She has been a true blessing for my dog, Rocky. Every time I leave him in her care, I know he's in excellent hands. Ana takes him on long walks, which he absolutely loves, and regularly brings him to the park where he can run and play freely. Not only does she provide great exercise, but her genuine love and affection for Rocky shine through in everything she does. She engages with him, plays his favorite games, and truly makes him feel like part of her family. I can see the joy in Rocky whenever he’s with her! I highly recommend Ana Sofia's services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter. She goes above and beyond, and I couldn't be happier with the care Rocky receives. She’s such an amazing sitter!”
