Dog Walking Gardere

“Annabel is a fantastic dog walker! She is always punctual, reliable, and very easy to work with. She’s incredibly caring and sweet with my dog, and it’s clear that she genuinely loves and understands animals. She’s attentive, patient, communicative, and makes me feel completely comfortable knowing my dog is in good hands. I really appreciate how dependable she is and the care and attention she gives on every walk. I would absolutely recommend Annabel to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!”

About: I’ve pet sat for friends and family for years and have been walking neighbors’ dogs for a few months. I have a large dog myself so I can be relied on to walk and care for large dogs. I currently keep a neighbor’s dog for doggy daycare about 2-3 hours during the day. They LOVE to play with each other and I have plenty of enrichment toys and treats to keep them occupied. I currently keep a dog for doggy daycare from 12:00-2:00 on weekdays, but my schedule is flexible. I am available during weekdays for walks and check ins from 8:00 am-6:00 pm. I am also available for weekday and weekend boarding and house sitting. I have a fenced in backyard and a fairly open floor plan offering a lot of play space. My dog and the dog I keep during the day are both very sweet but can be quite rambunctious at times. They are both well trained and very friendly with people and other dogs. Before moving to Baton Rouge, I used to own my own business cleaning houses and have a lot of experience working in other people’s homes. I understand how difficult it can be letting someone new into your home, especially when you may not be there. I am a great communicator, very trustworthy, and have a flexible schedule. I often send pictures or videos of pets to keep you updated and let you know your fur baby is safe and happy!

About: What truly sets me apart is my deep understanding of pet care, built on both personal experience and professional exposure. Having a senior dog who requires anxiety medication, I am exceptionally comfortable and skilled in administering medications and providing gentle reassurance to anxious pets. You can trust that your furry family member will receive the calm and attentive care they need while you're away. My background extends beyond typical pet ownership. My experience working in the quarantine building at the NC Aquarium provided me with invaluable hands-on exposure to the specific needs of a diverse range of animals, from reptiles and fish to birds and invertebrates. This unique experience means I'm well-equipped to care for even your more unconventional companions! My experience extends beyond typical pet ownership. My unique background working in the quarantine building at the NC Aquarium provided me with valuable insights into animal health and well-being. This hands-on exposure, combined with my personal experience caring for my own cats with specific medical needs, ensures that your feline friend will receive knowledgeable, attentive, and loving care tailored to their individual requirements. Furthermore, having raised my senior dog from a puppy, I am confident and experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and temperaments, from energetic youngsters to beloved seniors. My commitment to animal welfare is further demonstrated through my volunteer work at my local animal shelter, where I dedicate my time to helping animals in need. I genuinely love all creatures and am passionate about providing them with the best possible care. Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, offering a consistent and attentive experience for your beloved companion. As a college student with a flexible schedule (typically around two classes per day), I have dedicated time slots throughout the day to provide the care your pet needs. My mornings are often free, allowing for early walks, playtime, and feeding. My mid-day break provides an excellent opportunity for check-ins, potty breaks, and extra attention. In the evenings, I have ample time for longer walks, cuddles, and ensuring your pet feels safe and comfortable before bedtime. This flexibility isn't just about having free time; it means I can tailor my schedule to your pet's specific needs and preferences, ensuring they receive consistent care, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. You can be confident that your furry friend will have a reliable and engaging routine while in my care. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to maintain their familiar routine and ensure they feel safe and secure in their own environment. I understand the importance of consistency and following your specific instructions meticulously. My care includes: Following Your Instructions: Adhering to your pet's feeding schedule, medication administration, exercise routine, and any other specific needs. Potty Breaks/Walks: Providing timely opportunities for your dog to relieve themselves and get exercise, according to your instructions. Playtime and Affection: Spending quality time with your pet, offering cuddles, playtime, and attention to keep them happy and engaged. Home Security Checks (for house sitting): Ensuring your home is secure and reporting any issues. Regular Updates: Providing you with photos and updates on your pet's well-being so you can have peace of mind. Respecting Your Home: Treating your home with the utmost care and leaving it as I found it. I am dedicated to providing reliable, trustworthy, and loving care for your pets in the comfort of their own home.

About: It is my passion to work with animals. Truly nothing brings me more joy than helping out any animal from small bugs, to pets, to large exotic animals. I worked at a doggy daycare and boarding facility in Illinois and now I am going to school to become a Veterinary Technician here in Baton Rouge! I even worked at the Shedd Aquarium when I lived in Chicago, where I grew up. I also volunteered at various animal shelters back in Illinois and helped with the TNR programs for cats! I am currently in school and have in-person classes on Tuesday's and Thursdays. I have plenty of time to look after your pets on the rest of the weekdays and weekends! I have 2 friendly cats in my home and would love to care for and spend time with your pets in your home! I am very experienced in working with all types of animals- from large high energy puppies- to chill senior cats.

About: I love dogs, and have been around them since I was a baby. I’ve taken care of puppies, old dogs, big dogs, and all other kinds. Corgis are the greatest dog in the world, prove me wrong with yours. Currently in school at LSU graduating in December, and I am free to tend to your dog any time of day for you. I only have 1 class to schedule around so no issues there! Have a nice big yard completely fenced in, in a nice quiet neighborhood in the middle of BR. Welcome to kennel or let your dog roam free as needed.

“Lori is the best! I love hearing from her while I’m at work about her walks and playtime with my dog. I only needed her for a few weeks but she was reliable and really connected with my dog during that time. No complaints here - would highly recommend!”

About: I grew up with a Yorkie and now care for him in his senior years with doggy dementia, which has taught me the importance of patience, gentle routines, and creating a calm, comforting environment. Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays I get out of class for 11 and am free for the rest of the day. Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little tougher for me due to my classes being scattered throughout the day. I enjoy taking them on walks, giving them baths, playing with them, cuddling with them, feeding and taking them out, and just having an emotional support animal around me!

About: Hi! My name is Jason and have taken care of either my own dog or my neighbor's dogs ever since I was 10 years old. While I don't have a fenced in yard, I live right on my neighborhood's greenspace, my neighborhood has sidewalks and lakes for great long walks, and I live 5 minutes away from the dog park. I love to take dogs on walks, play fetch, and tug of war. I also enjoy being a couch potato if your dog is more laid back. I have the ability to either work from my home or from my office. When watching a dog, I can be home all day, or if the dog is able, I can only work a half day at the office and the rest from the house. Either way, your loved one won't be alone for more than 4 hours if they are able. If not, no worries, I enjoy working from home! I'm a single guy with no kids, so it's just me at the house which allows me to give your pet all the attention it needs. While I don't have a fenced in yard, I live right on my neighborhood's giant greenspace, my neighborhood has sidewalks and two lakes for great long walks, and I live 5 minutes away from the dog park. I'm an athletic guy, so if your pup needs to be active and enjoys playing and running, I'm your guy! I also enjoy being a couch potato if your dog is more laid back.

“Anna is great! My old dog walker had to move, and I found Anna on short notice. She is such a blessing and takes great care of my pup. I know that he is well taken care of when I am at work.”

About: I treat every pet like family. With years of hands-on experience, I provide personalized care, lots of playtime, and plenty of love. I'm experienced with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs, and I always keep pet parents updated for total peace of mind. I’m free all summer before I leave to college. However I’m interning every Thursday at a Vet clinic. I’m available to do a few visits a day if needed. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any medications or special instructions. I keep a clean, pet-safe environment, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and send regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: I worked as a shift lead at a doggy daycare called Dogtopia for almost 4 years. I have received training on how to deal with different breeds of dogs. I have worked with a variety of breeds, ages, and sizes and have a lot of experience in training behavior. I have also dealt with up to 30 dogs in one day care room during solo shifts. I have owned a dog for 12 years back at my house in Virginia, and currently do not live with him. I am also very organized and reliable. I will always be on time or early to appointments! I currently work full-time from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. I am available to host overnight dogs and can provide walks or drop-in visits before and after my work hours. I also have greater availability on evenings and weekends, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care for your pets. I am also available most weekends. I am very friendly with new animals and am able to learn their behaviors quickly. I am not harsh when trying to correct their behavior, but will make sure they don’t try to misbehave.

“Kacey was wonderful with Barkley! Gave daily updates/photos and even spent extra time with playing after their walk. Thank you for watching him over the holidays!”

About: Animals have always been a passion throughout my life, which is why I turned to pet sitting. Ever since I was a little girl my family and I have always had dogs ranging from a tiny teacup yorkie to a large golden retriever to even frogs and rabbits. My experience with pet care really began when I became the primary caregiver to my yorkie. From there, I began pet sitting for many neighbors and friends and have been able to create a fun-loving experience out of it! I take pride in being responsible while still giving your pets a fun time! I have years of experience with a variety of different animals and I know how important it is finding the right person to care for your fur babies!

About: I’m a vet tech student with a deep passion for animals. I am willing to accommodate a vast variety of pets in all breeds and sizes! I’m currently available part time because of school. I guarantee your pet will love being in my company as much as I will love being in theirs. Im a full time student so I have classes in the morning Monday-Thursday other than that your baby is most like to be hanging out with me watching tv or riding around the city. My yard has a fenced backyard for day time play and they will sleep in a pet crate at night. Playtime is supervised to make sure all the babies play nice!

“Jada has walked and kept Duke on multiple occasions. I never have to worry when he is with her as I know she will take great care of him. He also loves to play with her dog, Balto!”
