Pet Sitting in Fort Polk South

About: I live with my chow-mix pups, Cosmo and Gaia, and spend my days working with dogs of all kinds. My experience ranges from playful puppies to strong, high-energy breeds. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with nervous pups as well. Every dog is unique, and I adapt to their needs so they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m mostly available in the mornings! Some afternoons may be open as well, so please check my calendar for exact availability or send a request to discuss scheduling. Before booking boarding or daycare, please check with your vet! I always keep my two pups up to date on their vaccinations. Safety and trust always come first. On walks, I bring extra leashes just in case and carry treats to keep pups happy and focused. I also take photos during our walks so you can see their adventures in real time. For drop-in visits, I follow your routine closely—feeding, water, play, and potty breaks—and always send updates with photos. My goal is simple: your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for, and you feel at ease.

“Ruby was AMAZING! From the first message I sent her she has made this the easiest process for me. It was my first time using Rover and she was kind enough to help me with the app since it was a little bit of a struggle navigating it. She did a fantastic job taking care of my babies, she went above and beyond! Providing my babies with treats and toys along the way since we just moved and didn’t have much. She communicated every time she stopped by and provided so many pictures of my babies. I would recommend Ruby a 1000 times if I could. Thank you Ruby!”

About: I have a military background so I understand the need for reliability and routine. I also work in healthcare which makes me highly attentive to detail. I've gained 6 years of experience from dog-sitting for friends, coworkers, and more. Additionally, I have a Dog First Aid certification from the American Red Cross. I'm currently active-duty military, but I have the flexibility to do drop-in visits early in the mornings and later in the evenings (during lunch hours can be discussed if needed). I am open to extend the drop-in hours/time on Saturday's. I can also provide dog walking and house sitting services (preferably after a consultation). I will simply abide by whatever rules and instructions you lay out for me and follow them accordingly. If I have any questions/concerns, I'll be sure to reach out to you immediately!

About: I am a huge lover of all animals! I have had a lot of experience with different types of dogs, cats and multiple types of small animals. I grew up with three small Schnauzers, and as an adult I have been the loving owner of a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois/Labrador mix, and a miniature Australian Shepherd. I also had the pleasure of taking care of an abundance of small animals such as bunnies, exotic birds, ferrets, etc. at a Rescue Ranch for small animals as a teenager. After moving to Fort Polk to be with my husband, I decided to work on a Diploma to become a Certified Medical Assistant, therefore I am home more often than not studying. Recently, I have discovered how much I love going on walks and playing with different kinds of animals. And even though I can’t have every pet in the world, I’m sure I can take great care of your pet. I can’t wait to meet/take care of your fur baby!🩷 I’m currently a full-time student from home, so I have a lot of spare time to manage and care for your pets needs I have a fenced in backyard as well as a large neighborhood to take your pet on a long walk if needed. Plus I love playing fetch and different kinds of enrichment activities with dogs

“Dana was wonderful with my 2 dogs and cat! She sent me photos and videos and was able to work with me on a schedule change. Thank you so so much!!”

“We would definitely recommend. Our dog has pretty bad anxiety about strangers and Hayley was beyond patient with him. I’m pretty sure they became best friends while we were gone for the weekend. She sent photos every check in and walked our boy when he was anxious. We will use her again”

About: I love animals of all kinds and have two dogs of my own. Friends and family ask for my assistance with their beloved animals consistently. I'm a stay-at-home wife and would love to get out of the house to spend time with animals and explore. I try to keep my schedule open to help those needing animal care. Flexible scheduling with communication. Unfortunately, my schedule does not consist of being able to stay overnight during house sittings. (May be a possibility in the future.) I have a fenced-in backyard and extra rooms/space for your animal to roam for comfortability freely. Personally have two medium-sized dogs to comfort your animal, if needed.

“Kate was wonderful! I had to leave town to visit family during the Christmas holidays and she was kind enough to make drop-in visits to take care of my cat, Sage. Kate was attentive to her needs and care preferences and it was very easy to stay in touch with her via text message. I would book with her again in the future!”

“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: Use my promo code for $20 off your first service! https://www.rover.com/sit/kristm12192 Growing up on a farm, I've got my fair share of experience with a wide variety of animals, wild and pets. I also worked with my aunt at her dog boarding business for 3 years! I've fostered multiple dogs through the years so I have lots of experience with any and all breeds/sizes. I'm currently an online college student so my schedule is open and flexible! If an overlap does happen, I'll message beforehand so we can make the right adjustments that work for you. I've got a fenced in yard and my own dogs, Blue and Dexter, so your baby won't have to play by themselves! If your fur baby requires a crate I'll make sure that they feel safe and comfy in their space.

“Laura is excellent. Very punctual. Kept me informed at each visit and my dog was taken good care. Will definitely use her services again”

About: I have several years of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether it’s energetic puppies, senior cats, or pets with special needs, I treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine and provide them with comfort, attention, and lots of love while you're away. From daily walks and playtime to feeding, administering medications, and cuddles on the couch, I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cared for every step of the way. I’m available full-time for pet sitting, which means your pets will have my complete attention and care throughout the day. Whether they need regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just some company and cuddles, I’ll be there to meet their needs and keep them comfortable and happy. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine and provide consistent, reliable care whenever you need it. I offer pet sitting services in the comfort of your home, where your pets feel most secure and relaxed. This allows me to maintain their routine while keeping them in a familiar environment. Unfortunately, I am not able to accommodate anymore pets in my own home, but I’m more than happy to provide personalized care and attention in your home.

About: All animals are some of my favorite things about life. I have been raised around all sorts of cats and dogs since I was born. I have learned the ins and out of all ages with these animals, and having a passion for making sure they are taken care of and always loved. For now, I pretty much have an open schedule! I do make time for my online schooling throughout the week, but other than that, I can easily make time to come take care of your animals. I have one dog, a puppy less than a year old who loves to play with other dogs, so if your pet stays at my home, they will for sure be taken care of.

“Molly was great! She helped with my two labs when I had to go out of town! She worked through times with me that were realistic to her! Definitely would book again!”

“Hana was great! She took care of my puppy and I felt she was in good hands. Hana communicated a lot and was very accommodating, thank you so much!”

“Tory is great and takes wonderful care of our cats!”

“Cassie was amazing with my dogs! If she was in the neighborhood she’d pop by and check on them and send pictures. She followed all my quirky routines with them too. I will definitely use her again and 100% recommended her to anyone!”

“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’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!
