Let’s Meet! Send me a message anytime to arrange a meet & greet — I’m happy to make sure you and your pets feel comfortable before booking. I wake up around 6:30-8:00 AM most days and get right to work caring for the pets. Everyone is let out in backyard, or leashed up for a walk around the block. Pets are diligently cared for. Usually this consists of at least 3 walks per day, a visit to the park, and plenty of backyard time. I spend all day with the animals, leaving only for a personal errand or visit to the store. Each animal is analyzed carefully & fit into proper schedules according to their personality, levels of energy, and socialization. I provide a secure, fenced-in yard and individual kennels for each pet’s comfort and safety. Dogs start their day around 6:30–8:00 AM with a 10 to 30-minute walk, followed by supervised backyard playtime and snacks. Kennels are used only for rest and feeding—pets spend the majority of their day active, social, and engaged. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, whether that includes frequent park trips, light obedience training, short backyard outings or bathing. My goal is to ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and enriched in a clean, well-maintained environment.

“Robin was wonderful! So responsive and communicative. I have never used a dog sitter before but I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with Robin in her home. She sent photo updates frequently and sent my puppy home with some goodies. We loved Robin!”

If possible, I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet, but I'm happy to provide services even if that's not an option.

“Anika clearly cares so much about dogs. Before booking my dog in for daycare, she wanted to meet with us to see if our dogs were a good fit together. I really appreciated her taking the time to do that, because my dog is extremely playful and energetic and not all dogs can handle that! Knowing about a bad previous experience I had with a sitter, I feel like she took extra care to send me updates and pictures of Kaju to put me at ease. She went above and beyond in his care- taking him for walks, letting him play with her dog in the yard, and feeding him on time. I trust her completely to care for Kaju, and I know he trusts her too because he was able to take naps at her place (something that he is not always able to do due to trust issues). Anika is an exemplary dog sitter and we will be returning regularly!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life but just recently lost my dog to cancer. I would love to give some of my love and time to other peoples pets with the extra time I have now without him around to walk and cuddle. I have had experience taking care of new born pups as well as senior dogs, small and large! I was also raised with cats and had a cat of my own. I have experience taking care of parrots, snakes, chickens, and turtles!! I currently have 4 chickens. I’ve cared for friends and family’s pets staying at their home and doing daily walks/check-ins. I am professional and reliable and love all animals! ❤️ I work part time and I am a student at LSU. I have a flexible schedule and I am around the home a lot. I have a fenced in back yard and a great neighborhood to walk in! On the weekends I am home mostly doing homework or yard work so I am usually available and can give a lot of attention to your pet!! Also, I don’t go to LSU games so I am available to care for your pets while you enjoy the game! 🐯 I am very caring and conscientious. I am always thinking about how they are feeling and I feel happy when I know my pet or someone else’s pet is happy and safe. I am very safety oriented and will always make sure the pets have the best care they could have. I have a great big dog bed and a fenced in back yard. I am very clean and tidy and I am used to a dog that would eat anything that is out and about so I keep everything organized and away.

“I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional care you provide to Ace. The dedication and genuine affection you show to him is truly commendable. Every time I bring Ace to you, I know he is in the best hands. Seeing Ace happy and well-cared for brings me immense peace of mind. Thank you for creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for Ace.”

About: We've had 4 family dogs that I've raised from puppies. All were happy, healthy pups! Now I have two wonderful dogs here in Louisiana that love my schedule, having a house of their own, and the large fenced-in yard. We frequent the Burbank dog park and PetSuites, always loving new friends. I also grew up with 2 cats and have experience cat-sitting cats with a variety of personalities. I have experience giving cats medicine My goal here is to offer the same services that I'd want for my dogs. That means working closely with you to understand their routine and training regime, giving them lots of love and snugs, and sending you photos and videos throughout the day. If they're in my home, I still try to stick as close to their routine as possible, we unveil new toys every day, offer puzzles and shredding enrichment, I put my dogs' charming personalities to work, and I make sure your dog gets the individualized care and attention they need. My schedule is currently extra flexible as I work from home! I can easily host dogs throughout the day and overnight while guaranteeing my time away from the house won't exceed 3 hours. My dogs roam the house and yard when I am home. Depending on their energy level, the weather, or time of day, I either crate them or leave them in the yard to play when I leave for a few hours. It is important that your dog can be crated or, if preferred, left alone in the yard. This will be necessary in the case of emergencies, over-stimulation, or if your dog needs a dedicated security spot. If I'm housesitting or doing drop-ins, I do my best to keep the pet's routine as close to normal as possible.

About: I pride myself in doing everything to the best of my abilities and taking care of your babies will be no different! I have over a decade of experience, you can be at ease knowing your animals will be safe and loved while you’re away. I worked at Armstrong Veterinary Clinic for 4 years, interacting with animals and clients daily. I know how to administer medicine if needed. I am 100% free during the week, your babies would get lots of snuggles and play time. I am very friendly, flexible and reliable. I think we’d be the purrrfect match 😆🐱 I am currently focusing on providing pet care full time, my schedule is open Monday-Sunday. I live, breathe, and dream about the perfect pet sitting experience for my clients. I take care of my fur babies the same way a person would their normal babies. Every morning we go for a walk and eat some breakfast before I head in. A weekly dog trip is always in the works for my two energetic fur balls

About: I stand out because I treat every dog like my own. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs. I focus on exercise, play, and affection to keep your dog happy and healthy.” Pet care is a priority in my daily routine. I make sure to schedule regular walks, feeding times, and play sessions. I can adjust my schedule to meet the needs of each dog, whether it’s extra walks, potty breaks, or spending quality time with puppies or senior dogs.” “I prioritize safety and comfort for every pet. In my home, I make sure the space is secure, free of hazards, and filled with toys and cozy spots. At the client’s home, I follow all their instructions carefully, maintain a clean and safe environment, and provide consistent feeding, walks, and attention. I also keep owners updated with messages or photos to build trust and peace of mind.”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of patience, love, and attention I give to every dog. I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old, and I also have a dog of my own (Millie:)) and my Shih Tzu baby Rico I’ve helped cared for back home. Sl caring for pets is a natural part of my everyday life. Being a dog owner myself helps me understand routines, emotions, and the little things that make pets feel safe and loved. I may not have formal training, but I make up for it with genuine care, reliability, clear communication, and a calm, comforting presence. I treat every pet like family and follow their routine closely so they feel secure while you’re away! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I’m a full-time college student, but I’m currently on break until January 12th, which means I have completely open availability right now to care for your dog. Since I have my own dog and grew up around pets, daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and cuddle time are already part of my everyday life. During my break, I’m able to be fully flexible and attentive, making sure your dog gets consistent care, love, and routine. In my home, pets get treated just like family. I have a 1 year old Pit Bull Terrier named Millie, and she’s the sweetest, most cuddly girl ever. She’s very friendly with dogs of all sizes and loves having a buddy around. Millie is on a regular eating and bathroom schedule, she’s fully potty trained , crate trained and we stay active with walks throughout the day and visits to the dog park in my apartment community. Any dog that stays with us will get the same gentle routine . Lots of love, playtime, structure, and comfort. Even though Millie is the only dog I’ve personally cared for long-term with the exception of my childhood dogs , taking care of her daily needs has made me very attentive, patient, and confident with dogs. Your pup will feel right at home here.

“Been going to Lindleys for over a year now. Her and her entire family treat my dog like their own. My dog loves playing at her house and the family awesome!”
