“Emilee was awesome! Shakka is our elderly baby and she was sure to keep us in the loop through pictures and letting us know how he is carrying on throughout his day. We are happy to have found her.”


“Melanie is absolutely the best sitter we have had! She is very knowledgable about dogs, and you can tell she genuinely loves them! We left Denver with Melanie for 9 nights, and I never worried about him as I knew that he was well taken care off. Melanie gave me updates and pictures every day, with some really cute stories & observations about Denver. She is a top notch sitter!!”

“Brooke totally put my mind at ease since this was out first time with a dog sitter outside of my home. My 2 pups seemed to thoroughly enjoy being at their house. Many pics and updates throughout the weekend. I will most definitely be a repeat customer!😁”

“Nina was amazing and very responsive for a last-minute need with a chaotic schedule. Not only did she agree to caring for my pet last minute for an extended period of time but I also ended up needing to extend a day due to flight issues. She kept me informed, sent me lots of photos, and most importantly, enjoyed Buddy as much as we do which makes me happy also. Highly recommend, and would use her again for sure !”

“Zack is the best! We left our three babies with Zac, one being 15 years old with a medical condition. Zack put our fears to rest to the point we were able to celebrate our wedding without concerns of how our dogs were being treated and cared for. We extended a day and Zac was caring enough to let us know he would be away from the dogs all day and if we were okay with it. We will definitely use him again and recommend to anyone with Barksdale AFB access.”

“This I can’t say enough good things about her! My three cats can be a handful, especially when they’re out of their usual space, but she was so patient and reassuring with them. She sent tons of updates, checked in often, and made sure they stayed fed, comfortable, and as low‑stress as possible. It was clear she really cared about their well‑being. I’m super grateful and would definitely book her again.”

“Dani did an awesome job watching Goose. She sent us plenty of updates and pictures of him throughout his stay. We would definitely recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter!”

About: I have 4 dogs of my own and one cat. I have cared for pets as long as I can remember. My dogs are all house trained and crate trained they also are well mannered and like other pets. I can house train and also train dogs to do certain tricks. I'm 27 years old and own my own home with a large fenced in back yard. My house has no carpet so accidental pet messes can be cleaned easily. I have my own transportation to house sit or dog walk any time I am needed. Thank you for considering me for taking care of your pets I currently work full time split shifts so I can take care of animals between shifts before shifts and after shifts. I have reliable transportation to and from also I have a large fenced in back yard and I currently work in the animal field so I am trained on medication management and also have vet tech experience.
“Adriana was SO wonderful with our dog, making sure he felt plenty comfortable and loved while we were away. We loved getting the daily pictures she sent as well!! ❤️ She was also extremely flexible with us in our drop off/pick up times, which was so helpful and removed a lot for stress for us as our travel times were delayed. Will definitely be using Adriana again.”

“If I could give more stars, I would. Last night was the very first time I've been away from my Great Dane ever. This couple that cared for Axl is top-notch. They sent me pics of her going for a walk. I was really concerned about the attachment issues and the worry behind them. But I'm happy to report I did better than I thought I would being away from her! Lol. I HIGHLY recommend this couple. They have an absolutely obvious love for animals. It shows. They have a very clean environment and they are a lovely couple. Axl has her permanent sitters now. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Andrea and her husband were great. I will definitely call them again I’ve never left my Buddy with strangers. They made me feel so comfortable. I’m very pleased with their service. Andrea even text me to let me know my Buddy was doing good. I highly recommend their Dog sitting service !”

“Jamie is officially my Shreveport sitter when I come home to visit. :) My pup is happy and I felt 100% at peace with his visit with her. She sent pictures and took him on some social adventures. You can tell when people have a heart for your pup and it showed which allowed me to celebrate my family while in town with no worries.”

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
About: I volunteer on my off time at my local dog rescue. I also have fostered many dogs in the past year for Caddo shelter and Parish Paws. I grew up around dogs and own two of my own who are always willing to play with other dogs. If there’s ever a concern of aggressive I separate the dogs when let out for potty breaks or in the house. I am taking off work for the next two months so my schedule is open minus a couple dates here and there. You can expect me home majority of my days. My pets are always fed and given water through the day and let o it frequently. They enjoy playing fetch or running in the yard and going on car rides or walks.

About: What sets me apart is my rigorous attention to detail and a background in health and wellness. I understand that your pet’s health isn't just about feeding and walking; it’s about monitoring their well-being, strictly adhering to dietary or medication requirements, and ensuring a safe, clean environment. Whether it's managing complex care instructions or simply keeping a keen eye on their health and comfort, I bring a level of professionalism and vigilance that ensures your peace of mind while you are away. I also provide consistent photo/text updates so you have peace of mind while being away from your pets. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to be highly attentive and present throughout the day. This means I can offer your pet more companionship, frequent check-ins, and a stable routine that minimizes stress while you're away. Because my time is dedicated to being home-based, I can ensure your pet receives the extra playtime, consistent feeding times, and reliable care they deserve, giving you total peace of mind. While my home does not have a fenced-in yard, I am highly experienced in safely managing outdoor time using a leash to ensure your pet gets the necessary exercise and potty breaks in a secure, controlled manner. I am also comfortable with crating and strictly following your established house rules to maintain your pet's comfort and safety. Furthermore, I am completely flexible and happy to provide pet-sitting services directly in your home, allowing your pet to remain in their familiar environment, which is often the most stress-free experience for them. I do not have any animals currently of my own.
“Sam is without question the very best sitter that I have had to date! This is by no means a slight at any previous sitters! He was flexible, sent plenty of pictures and most of ALL, he was loving to my pup! If he is available the next time and time after to sit for me, he will be the ONLY sitter that I use! I recommend him above ALL AND any!!”
