Dog Walking Downtown Riverfront

About: I used to work in the pet grooming industry from 2013-2021 bathing dogs and making sure the dogs in the daycare were being watched, taken care of, and having all the enrichment they need. I am willing to bathe and blow out dogs depending on size and fur type for a fair cost if you ask! I do have all equipment including a forced air dryer and I always have fabric on hand for bandanas 🥰 I dont have the service listed as I simply dont feel it fair for smaller dogs or dogs with short hair to overpay with the only option being 1 price. I have a dog and cat of my own and understand body language and behavior in both dogs and cats. I rescue my pets and typically grab the ones that may be overlooked and passed up. All my pets, including my late dog, the lab in photos, all have medical needs and requirements ranging from gastrointestinal issues to neurological. I am familiar and comfortable with giving medication. Its very important for me that my pets are in excellent health so I completely get it when an owner is not wanting extra snacks or a walk to be skipped! As someone who recently experienced a senior dog in my home, i am very understanding and patient with elderly pets. I am also in the hobby of fish keeping and have some exotic critters like hermit crabs 💞 I have been a stay at home wife and mother since 2021. My day starts with letting my dog out to potty after the long night then straight to feeding my dog and indoor cat. I then go and check on all my tanks, counting critters, making sure everyone in tanks is good and turning lights on. My dog goes out several times a day and outside of errands and the occasional day out with friends, I am always home to make sure there are plenty of potty breaks. In the evenings I feed all the tank critters, and double check to make sure everyone is well before I shut tank lights off and feed my dog and cat. Finally, my dog goes potty 1 last time before bed! I do hace a fully fenced in backyard but anytime we leave the property, we ensure all pets are leashed. I do not let my dog outside unsupervised and no dog in my care will ever be outside unsupervised for any amount of time regardless of the fence. I have 3 cameras for my backyard that i minitor constantly as well. I belive in always leashing a pet in public and never approaching other pets whether it be with or without a leashed pet of your own. If a dog is a known puller on walks, i do prefer to walk with a slip lead. I do have crates in the home along with built in gates. During boarding, my dog stays in the bedroom and office areas, and our guest dogs stay in the living areas. Any dogs in my care must be up to date on all vaccinations and flea medication, must not jump gates or fences, and must be crate trained and potty trained. These are all for safety reasons and to make sure things go as smoothly as possible for everyone involved.

About: My lifelong journey with animals began early on where I was raised on a farm and active in 4-H. Whether you have a spunky puppy/kitty or a gentle senior needing extra patience, I provide a calm, structured environment tailored to their unique personality. I specialize in providing a low stress experience. From senior pups needing a slow pace to high-energy dogs looking for a walk, your fur babies will be treated like members of my own family. I am self employed with a flexible schedule so I am usually available to spend time with your fur babies. I'm very responsible, punctual and love to communicate with pet owners with updates and photos! For Drop-In Visits (Cats & Dogs): For home visits, my priority is maintaining your pet’s existing routine to minimize anxiety. For Dogs: I focus on a productive potty break, fresh water, and a 'sniffari' (a mental-stimulation walk) or indoor play. For Cats: I focus on their specific social needs—whether they want active play with a wand or just a calm presence nearby while I refresh their food and litter. I always perform a home security check before leaving (ensuring doors are locked and water bowls are full) and leave a detailed 'petdate' on how they behaved and what we did. Dog Walking: Walks are tailored to your dog’s energy level and the weather. I practice 'defensive walking,' meaning I am always scanning for other off-leash dogs or distractions to keep your pup safe. I also pay close attention to Shreveport’s heat; I check pavement temperatures and ensure we stay hydrated and shaded.

“We love her! My dog, Johnnie always has such a wonderful time on their walkies!”

“I can't say enough great things about Stephanie.I'm recovering from a total hip replacement I would leave the door unlocked and she would get the girls walk them and even get them their treats when they got back. My girls are very Leary about going off with someone else without me in their sight. They warmed up to her in no time to where they were waiting and watching for her.”

“Rileigh was so amazing and keep us up to date with our sweet pup!”

About: Pet sitting is awesome because I want to spend time with as many wonderful pets as I can. I'll treat them just as well as I would like my pets to be treated since I know how important they are. Prior to Good Dog, I would pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. They deserve the best care even the little rambunctious ones. I have been working and volunteering in pet care for years. Interacting with any animal makes me happy but bunnies will always have a special place in my heart. Regardless of whether they have fur or scales I treat my pets, and other’s pets as family members who need just as much love and emotional care as they do physically. Thank you for this opportunity

“Jennifer went above and beyond while watching our dog, Sammy! She sent a ton of pictures and updates while we were gone. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”

About: I love working and meeting new dogs. Being able to provide one-on-one time with your fur baby is important to me and I look forward to forming new bonds. I have time throughout the day and evening for drop ins and walks. Ensuring your pet has attention and is loved is the number one priority for all visits. When caring for a pet in a client’s home I like to ensure the pet has an enjoyable time. I am flexible to do walks and rubs to keep your pooch smiling.

“Our dog loved Michaela who walked him everyday for three weeks. She was competent, kind, and always on time. We will definitely look to hire her again in the future.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years. I spent several years working as a vet tech at a local animal hospital in Bossier. My dog, Frisco, lived into his senior years so I have experience with senior animals as well. I work from home so that will allow me to walk your pet at any time of the day. Whatever their schedule is I will be available for them. I offer walking dogs, taking them to the park, & just dropping in for some play time. Dogs need exercise and with busy work schedules it’s hard to get to them on your lunch break. Let me be your dogs lunch buddy!! You can expect picture check-ins from your fur baby while you are away!

“Thanks Jessica. I did not worry about my doggie. Jessica took great care of my doggie. She texts and send pictures to let you know that your pet is during fine while you are away. As long as she wants I will always call for her to take care of my pet. Couldn't ask for a better person. A+in my book.”
