“I cannot say enough good things about how well Abbey took care of not only our baby boy Luca but, we walked into our home after the trip to find our house in immaculate condition!! When we checked in on a daily basis, Abbey would send me pictures and tell me how the day went. Luca was so worn out daily from play time that he slept like a rock when it was bedtime. I am definitely a returning pet parent! THANKS ABBEY!!!”


About: What sets me apart from other animal sitters is my deep understanding of pets at every life stage from playful puppies to sweet senior animals and my calm, patient approach to care. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments and sizes, and I tailor my care to meet each animal’s unique needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around the animals in my care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m reliable and consistent. I keep a flexible calendar to accommodate everything from quick drop-ins to longer stays, and I always make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I give the pets. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding and walk routines to any house rules like crating, restricted areas, or medication needs. I always keep the environment clean, calm, and safe locking doors, checking gates, and making sure pets are never left unattended in risky situations.

“We are grateful we found Stephanie to watch our dogs and always know they are in good hands. Our dogs can take a bit to warm up to people, but Stephanie made sure to spend a lot of time with them so that they were comfortable!”


About: I am flexible and love animals. I have cared for dogs, cats and horses for over 60 years. I have worked with many dog breed and sizes, as well as ages. I work part time and have a flexible schedule. I currently own three of my own cats, but can easily accommodate the needs of others. I can accommodate the clients request at their home. I am willing to travel to clients home, provide necessary services including vet appointments. I am available for overnight stays as needed but only at clients residence as I have cats at my own home.

About: Hi We are Abby and Will. We moved to Louisiana less than a year ago. We do not have any pets yet, so your pet will have our undivided attention. We both grew up with animals and wouldn’t have it any other way. Being around animals makes us happy and you can have two pet sitters for the price of one! We both work full time jobs but have flexible schedules. I (Abby) get off work most days at 3pm and have open availability on the weekend. Will is free on the weekends as well and is periodically free during the day. We communicate well and will make sure your pet is taken care of! Our house is located in a peaceful neighborhood. We love to go for walks and our house has a fenced in backyard with a doggy door. We’re both up early and can make sure your fur baby is fed and walked if needed. Our philosophy is to treat people’s pets with love, respect, and kindness.

About: I’ve taken care of a variety of dogs that belonged to my family as well as some friends, where I enjoyed walking, feeding, and playing with each pet. I also have helped some with a friend’s pet grooming service. I’ve always loved dogs and have a strong passion for caring for them. I work a part time job, which is scheduled mostly at night so I will have plenty of time during the day to care for your pets! My house is very pet friendly, but my yard does not have a fence. However I do not mind taking pets outside whenever they need to, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking!

About: I work with Chimpanzees at Chimp Haven! I also have two amazing cats named Bellion and Kid! In addition I also have a bearded dragon named Thor. I have had animals since I was 3 and I have been caring for animals since then. I have experience walk training dogs and I have plenty of regular training experience as well. I use to volunteer with multiple dog and cat no kill shelters where I would walk, play, and groom with both dogs and cats. I would also go to events and communicate with potential adopters for these dogs, as I did these events I would be walk training the dogs so that when they get adopted they would know! I do work a full time job from 7am-4pm every day. My evenings are completely free and I currently have Saturdays and Sundays off from work so I am free all day on those days to help train or walk pets! Since my evenings are free I can check up or even stay the night to take care of your babies! My cats and lizard are very spoiled in our home. They get fed twice a day and plenty of love and play time. I absolutely adore animals and I want to make sure your pets are taken care of while you're at work or vacation!

About: With 4 Years of Experience as a Veterinary Technician, I offer reliable, professional, and loving care for your animals while you’re away. Whether you have dogs, cats, or even farm animals, I provide safe, comfortable boarding and in-home pet sitting tailored to each pet’s unique needs. From playful pups to gentle goats, I’ve got you covered! Services also include nail trims, soothing baths, and personalized attention to ensure your animals feel happy, healthy, and right at home. As a full-time pet care provider with a background as a veterinary technician, pet care is at the heart of my daily routine. Mornings start early with feedings, potty breaks, and check-ins for boarding pets or farm animals. Throughout the day, I schedule home visits, walks, baths, nail trims, and any special care pets may need—always making sure each animal gets personal attention and love. Evenings are for dinner time routines, cuddles, and one last check before bed. Each week, I set aside time for grooming services, client communication, and managing bookings. Weekends are often busier with overnight stays or special requests, but I always plan at least one day to recharge and care for myself, too. Pet care isn’t just a job—it’s a lifestyle that blends seamlessly into my home and heart every single day. My top priority is making every pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. With 4 years of experience as a veterinary technician, I’m trained to recognize both medical and behavioral needs, which means I can provide attentive, professional care beyond the basics. I follow each pet’s routine closely, offer enrichment through play, cuddles, and gentle structure, and I’m always observing to make sure they’re comfortable and thriving. Safety is built into everything I do—from secure spaces for boarding and supervised play, to using pet-safe products and maintaining clean, low-stress environments. I also believe trust starts with open communication: I keep pet parents updated with daily messages, photos, and honest check-ins. Whether it’s a senior dog needing medication or a playful goat who loves scratches, I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family.

“Samuel was AMAZING with our pup! We had to fly across the country unexpectedly and he was able to watch Frankie at the last second and took great care of him all weekend. He was super flexible with our flight delays on the way home as well. Frankie got to go on lots of fun adventures too! We will definitely be using Samuel whenever we need a dog sitter in the future!”

About: I've been around dogs since childhood, but my two sweet dogs have come into my life in the last few years. Both rescues from different situations, they have taught me so much about how to adapt my care to their specific needs. Feeding times are no problem, as are bathroom breaks and time outside. I'm able to administer medicine as needed. The only limit that I have as far as pet care goes is that I cannot walk larger dogs due to a spinal disability.
