House Sitting in Ellerbe Woods, Shreveport, LA

“Kat was absolutely wonderful while we were out of town for 5 days. 100% highly recommend her! She stayed in our home with our dogs, sent us pics multiple times a day and showered our babies with love! This was our first time using Rover and will definitely be booking Kat again for our next vacation!”

“Anya is a pet lover/setter SUPREME. She followed every instruction and went far beyond our expectations in caring for our GSP Hans. We will absolutely use her whenever possible. She's a gem!!”

“Victoria was awesome. Very kind and loves the babies like they're her own. Sends pics, asked for some guidance about a fussy dog of ours and that's what we wanted her to do! Highly recommend.”

“Evelyn was a total hero when our last dog sitter couldn't make it! She went far beyond what we'd hoped for, taking care of all three of our fur babies like they were her own. She sent us the most adorable pictures and kept us updated throughout our whole trip. We felt so comfortable and we're super excited to have her back to look after our little pack again! ???”

“Sydney was a breath of relief. She was on time, very efficient and when we returned home, my babies were not anxious as they were on kennel stays. Even my kitties ate their daily allotted food. All seemed very comfortable while we were away. Thanks to Sydney.”

About: Dogs are inherently social. They require human interaction. They crave socialization. And they thrive in a safe environment that’s less about picking up poop and all about enrichment and learning. The conventional model just doesn’t work. You and your pets will love me. I am a stay a stay at home mom of two littles and a school age child. I have 1 small breed myself and I have a huge love for animals. I can easily crate if needed and I have plenty of indoor space for play and outdoor time. There are huge growls where I live so running and exercise will not be an issue. Pets are amazing creatures that show unconditional love to us on a daily basis. They are pure and loving and we can learn a lot from them to strengthen our own relationships in life. Here are just a few examples of how their unconditional love can help improve our bonds with one another. Exercise helps to lower blood pressure and build up muscle. It'll even help your pet have healthy bones. Walking also helps your dog to poo and wee so they'll be less likely to get constipation or a urinary tract infection.

“David is the best pet handler! My babies love him and look forward to every time he comes to take them on a walk or watch them when I am out of town. He is considerate, always keeps me updated, and loves my babies as his own! 10/10 would recommend David for any pet services!”

About: I have looked after all kinds of dogs by working with my aunt in a vet clinic over my summer breaks. I would love to walk your dog! I am a medical student at LSU Shreveport and love to take dog walk study breaks! I am usually free afternoons and evenings during the week I have a small backyard at my house which is gated in by a fence on all sides. I also have a patch of concrete next to the grass.

“Great sitter! Fast communication and replies! Took amazing care of my fur babies, sending me photos every day and updating me on their status. 100% will (and already have) book her again!”

“It is always a comfort when my family travels to know that Mauria will take care of my dogs. She truly cares about my pets and enjoys playing with them. She is very dependable and I recommend her services.”

“First time using Rover and it was huge relief to be able to trust Phylicia with my dogs and home. Would highly recommend her services.. Thank You, Mary McHale”

“Tyshundra is the best!! I have an eight year old Lab who is now finally mellowed out a bit. I also have a two year old puggle who is full of energy! They both love Tyshundra and enjoy her visits. It gives me great piece of mind to know that my dogs are cared for while I am stuck at work during the day. I live in Bossier and am so glad I found For The Love Of Dogs. If you love your pets, give Tyshundra a call. Both your pets and you will be glad you did!!”

“Angie was great! She made my 14-year-old dog and 7-year-old tuxedo cat feel safe and happy. I came back to a neat and clean house and feet’s that did not feel stressed. I’m so pleased that Gale Alexander recommended Rover to me.”

“Victoria is great with dogs. They really love her. She seems to have as much fun as the dogs. It’s great to find someone you can trust.”

About: I am a vetting director for a Great Dane Rescue, so I have many years experience in dealing with dogs. I have dealt with newborn puppies, all the way to our beloved seniors. I have an ultimate compassion for animals, no matter what size or breed they are. While your baby, is in my care, I can help with potty training, commands, leash walking, feeding a litter of puppies, and any other task you need help with. The best way to know our for babies, is to also understand them. Which this is commonly overlooked. With choosing me to look after a member of your family, your baby will not only be well taken cared of, but he/she will be greatly loved. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

About: I love all dogs. I have had many years of experience in having dogs and taking care of dogs. I have a male and female Golden Retriever. They gets along with other dogs and love to play and meet new friends. I will take on walks everyday and include lots of playtime. They will be well taken care of and loved while staying at my place. They will always get full attention. I suggest bringing their favorite toys so they will be comfortable and have a fun time. I will accommodate with any needs for your loving animals. I will take great care of your fur baby! I have a flexible schedule with school and work, so I can work around the dog’s needs. I always walk in the morning and evening. I provide play and feeding time appropriately for dog’s needs. I incorporate play time inside and outside based on the weather. I will take on walks daily.

“Melanie is the more caring and exciting person that you could have to take care of your dogs. very responsible and loving. She also fosters and coordinates the Great Pyrenees rescue in Louisiana donating tons of hours to save this beautiful breed. She is my first option to take care of my dogs!”

“Morgahn has a love for all animals. She grew up in a home with multiple dogs and cats and was in charge of taking care of them on a daily basis. Her compassion for animals amazes me every day. Morgahn is responsible and caring and will give each animal she cares for her undivided attention.”

About: I understand that each pet is unique and has different needs, and I will take the time to get to know each one in order to provide the best possible care. Pets are family, and I believe in providing them with the same love and care I would offer my own furry companions. I have been around and owned pets since I was 6 years old. My brother raised Norwegian Elkhounds and I used to help him take care of them. I have my own pets now and they are my kids. One of my dogs has his own pillow and blanket and I tuck him in every night. I am a Police Officer fulltime, but we work a Panama schedule so I am off every other weekend and days during the week. I want to use my off time to be around fur babies. I am very clean and will not hesitate to clean. I am observant of my surroundings and will always double check the fence/ gates, and doors. I will check to make sure your fur baby has plenty of water and food. I will walk them and play with them.

About: I’ve had dogs forever, and love them to pieces! I love playing with them outside and snuggling with them on the couch. I have two pups of my own at home. I work part time from 4-8 M-W and 9-6 Saturdays, but can house sit and make frequent drop-ins fit into my schedule easily. I’ve pet sat through other sites before as well as through family contacts. I always keep an eye on the animals and don’t stray far when I’m there. I’m careful to make sure they are boarded safely when I’m not there. I’m a very cautious person, so rest assured your baby is safe with me.
