“Wilma is the absolute best. She's come to check on my dogs several times and they love her! I always can feel at ease knowing they're well cared for.”

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.

“She is amazing!! Mooncake loves her ❤️he usually gets sad when we're out and he doesn't want to eat but she sat next to him so he can eat.We had a great communication, we are very thankful with Emily!”


About: Experienced dog sitter providing loving care, fun walks, and safe supervision. Attentive to routines, medications, and play needs. Trustworthy, calm, and great with all breeds. My schedule is clear throughout the day, so I am free to make sure your animals are safe and have everything they need throughout the day. I have a spacious, fully fenced-in yard where pets can safely run and play. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who get along well with others. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddle time, your pet will receive plenty of one-on-one attention and love. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll keep your space clean, secure, and follow all instructions carefully to ensure everything runs smoothly while you’re away

“Amanda was great! We booked her last minute over the holidays and she was very responsive and took great care of our cats (and our house during a deep freeze!). Highly recommend!”


“Dawn did a great job taking car of Snow and Worm. They had plenty of food and water and the kitty litter box was cleaned each day. Dawn unfortunately did not see the cats as they run and hide when new people come to the house. I would definitely have her back the next time I need to be gone for a few days. I definitely recommend Dawn when you need these kind of services.”


About: I’ve had a dog since I was 8 years old, named Spots. I potty trained him, taught him commands, and he basically grew up right beside me. That experience taught me so much about patience, consistency, and truly loving animals. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I currently work 10am–3pm at Chick-fil-A, which gives me plenty of flexibility for early morning walks or evening drop-ins. I’m also available on holidays and can work around your schedule to make sure your pup gets the care and attention they need—even if it’s just a little ride to get their tail wagging When caring for pets in my client’s home, I always follow their specific routines and instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved at all times. I clean up after them, respect their space, and keep things tidy. Whether it’s playtime, feeding, or walks I treat their home like it’s my own and their pets like family.

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.

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.

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. I can, however, manage dog walks on the small-medium size. I hope that I fit your pet sitter needs and can make friends with your doggo! I work part time in a leadership position in a retail store. My shift are typically in the middle of the day but generally do not last more than 6 hours. I am able to drop in and provide care as needed and stay at a client's house full time on my off days. I have a fenced in backyard that my dogs are free to run around and play in. They never go anywhere without their harnesses and leashes. My cats are indoors only, though sometimes I may take them on the patio if it's sunny out. This is generally the standard I apply to any animal I'm caring for, so that they're in my sight as much as possible.

About: I have taken care of my families pets, and my neighbors pets since I was 13 years old. Everyone and my neighborhood trusted me to go and feed their fur babies and if need to be, take them for a walk. I am currently working part time, as a certified nursing assistant. So I have very flexible hours and I’m willing to work with your schedule. If your fur baby will be boarding with me, I have one loving dog they can play with and/or I have two very playful cats and a variety of space where they can play.

Lauren H.
“I cannot recommend Lauren enough. When I was diagnosed with stage 2 germ cell ovarian cancer, Lauren assisted with the care, protection, and enrichment of my senior cat. My cat, Sampson, who does NOT like strangers absolutely adores her. She pays attention to detail, communicates effectively, and has a drive and passion about her that is irreplaceable. Lauren watched Sampson four times a week over the course of two months and did not disappoint once. She provided a quality of care that is professional and familial. If you have been searching for the perfect animal caregiver, look no further. Lauren is who you want.”
