Pet Sitting in Hammond

About: I have had dogs and cats all my life growing up. I currently have one dog, Ruby, who is 2 years old and a cat, Henry, who is 6 months old. I also have two children (ages 5 and 9) who love pets and helping out. My goal is to provide not just reliable care, but peace of mind—so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special needs or medications. I pay close attention to their behavior and comfort so I can respond quickly to anything they may need. I also believe communication is key. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Alisha and Nick were amazing! They helped me last minute to care for my pup so I could enjoy my wedding day. And they sent so many cute photos! I will definitely be keeping their number and calling them again!”

About: Growing up, my family has always had pets, so I’ve been around animals my whole life. We’ve also done in-home dog sitting for the past 10 years and have fostered numerous dogs and cats through Lucky Paws Rescue for about 8 years. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and sizes, from puppies to seniors and small to large dogs. I also have experience fostering paralyzed dogs and caring for animals with medical needs, including diabetic pets and those requiring medications. I’m a college student who works full time during the summer normally a 3-midnight shift. I’m looking for fun side hustle during the day so dog walking/pet sitting is something I’d be good at and enjoy! I love pets with all my heart! My dogs at home have the option of leash walking and a fenced in yard, both work very well for them. While pet sitting and fostering I’ve had to handle all sorts of dogs while leash walking; the ones that chew the leash, tug, and the easier the ones, but I love them all! Every pet I visit will be treated with love, care, and patience.

About: Hi there! My name is Jenna and while I’m home I would love to watch your pup. I am a foster parent for many different rescues in the area including Cocos Heart, Across America Boxer Rescue and Rejection Collection Boxer Rescue. I have fostered everything from 10 week old puppies (yes I have the chew marks on my couch to prove it) to the unforgettable seniors! My home is full of dog beds, treats and all the loving they could ever want. I have a privacy fenced in backyard and provide kennels as well for safe spaces too. I would love to cuddle your fur baby while you are away. I will be returning to the office here in January but I can offer a safe space via kennel or pen while I’m at work (no longer than 8 hours). I do have some hybrid days that I may be home to give extra cuddles. When I’m not working, I’m home. While home, treats, loves, pets, outside time are in the agenda. When I am not home safe space kennel time with soothing music until I return will play. My privacy fence covers 90% of my yard with a fenced gate covering the other 10%. Your fur baby will not be outside unattended however. I also have a boxer that if they get along they are welcomed to play together, however if they don’t get along no worries! Being a foster parent I know how to split my house and time between to babies. I also have cameras set up so I can keep an eye on the babies at all times. Your fur baby will be treated like royalty when they are staying here.

About: I’ve worked at a dog daycare and boarding before and have experience with dogs of different sizes and care needs. I love getting to know all sorts of dogs! I currently have an open schedule and am very flexible. I have lots of availability to look after dogs! Just message me for more details! I love playing with dogs and will make sure your dog is well taken care of when you get home! I can handle all different types of dogs and their personalities.

“Elizabeth did an excellent job caring for my two cats over a long weekend. She was punctual, kind, and quick to learn my cats' specific routines. I have one cat who is quite shy and typically hides from visitors (even family members who visit regularly), but Elizabeth managed to earn his trust on the very first visit. My other cat requires an inhaler twice a day and can be quite squirmy, but Elizabeth administered the dosages without any issues. Elizabeth sent updates after every drop-in visit, complete with cute photos. She even watered my flowers outside. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my pets and my home were in good hands while I was away.”

About: Hi, my name is Olivia. I was looking for extra money so I figured why not do something I love? I adore all kind of animals, big or small. I have been taking care of animals for about two years now. I've watched my neighbors dogs and my friends dogs/cats. And I have always received good feedback. I am also very active so I will have no problem playing with and walking your pets! I feel like what sets me apart is that I am very passionate about animals and I don't believe in doing anything half way. Either do it above and beyond, or don't do it at all. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I just got back from two years of working abroad and haven’t started my new job yet so I have plenty of free time for the time being! :) When caring for your pets, I try to care for and love them as much as you do! Also, when it comes to house sitting, I try to keep the house clean and tidy so you can return home to a neat house.

“Took great care of Wilson!”

About: I've had pets (dogs of all sizes, cats, fish) since I was 7. I currently have a dog of my own. I've trained her. I am always happy to watch, play, feed, bathe, and walk dogs. I am a stay-at-home dog owner, which means taking care of your dog is my main priority! Doggy day care and boarding is always available. I usually accept all dogs. I only refuse service if the dog has previously bit me and/or continued aggression. I have one very friendly female dog (spayed) who loves to make new friends and spend time with old ones. I keep dogs typically in the living area, uncaged. I only cage dogs if the owner requests it, and in a different room from the other dogs. I do have another helper (my fiance), as he also enjoys dogs very much. My walking route is usually around Glen Park, I change it up as needed to boost the adventure for your dog(s). **Water will ALWAYS be available and replenished for your dog(s). Food schedule based.**

“Valentina was prompt and responsive!”

About: I’ve fostered dogs since I was in fourth grade, sometimes multiple at a time. Varying in size and age, sometimes cats as well as dogs. I am currently a junior at UWL and work an on campus job. I am going to school full time and my job does block off some of my time but I am willing to work my schedule around the fur babies. I live in the dorms so I will not be able to take the dogs into my home but I can easily take care of them in your home and easily crate if necessary. They will be provided with plenty of love and attention.

About: Hi! I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have a King Charles Cavalier of my own, so I understand how much love and attention our pups need. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to follow your dog’s routine to keep them comfortable and safe. I offer drop-in visits and walks and will always keep you updated while you’re away! I currently work full-time Monday through Thursday on morning shifts. I also have a second job which is Tuesday and Fridays but I’m available after 5 PM on Wednesday and Thursdays, and I’m available anytime on weekends! When doing a drop in visit or even walking your dogs i will make sure they are my number one priority as well as respecting your home and your private space. home is a comfort place and I would never want to ruin that for you! I can do whatever you need for the animal and make sure to do it as efficently as I can! Routines are also very important to me and I can adhere to any you may have!

About: I have a deep love for animals that has been with me since childhood. I am currently in the process of establishing my own animal foster care facility, catering to all kinds and breeds. It is my dream to provide peace of mind to families in need of care for their pets while they are away on business or vacation. I believe in ensuring that all pets are properly cared for, loved, and happy. I am dedicated to giving as much love as possible to all the little creatures in my care. I make sure that my own pet has plenty of adventure and companionship for a healthy and fulfilling life. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. 🩷🙌🏼 I am available to care for your pets on weekends as needed! Short term visits and long term visits for a Friday to Sunday if needed. I have two small dogs who are extremely friendly! I can also travel to your home as needed and stay with your pets from a Friday to Sunday. I can help on weekdays for drop-in visits…. However, I do not get done with work until 4pm. My two pups enjoy seeing new parks and love their hiking adventures - when they aren’t doing that, they are cuddling up at home with each other. I can help take care of your pets to your desired schedule / routine for them.

About: I’ve cared for dogs for many years and currently have two dogs of my own that I take on regular walks and lots of adventures. I’ve also helped care for my sister’s two dogs over the past 5 years whenever needed. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and love. I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of my own family because dogs truly are the best! I work full time Monday through Friday and am available for pet care after 4 PM on weekdays. I have open availability on weekends for walks, drop-ins and playtime. Since I have two dogs of my own, caring for pets is already a big part of my daily routine, and I love making sure dogs get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In my home, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise, attention, and love throughout the day. Since I don’t have a large yard, I take my dogs on regular walks and make time for play and enrichment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep their normal routine consistent so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I’m very flexible and happy to follow any specific instructions, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, crate routines, or extra cuddle time. Just let me know what your pet needs, and I’ll make it happen!

“I highly recommend. Very professional service!”

“Alex was great! He handled our high energy dog very well. Millie was a happy girl when we got home! He followed our instructions and I felt very comfortable that Millie would be well taken care of on the drop in visit. Would definitely recommend Alex!”

About: Hi! My name is Amber M.. I have two daughters and a paramedic/firefighter husband. We have two female Labrador Retrievers who live their lives as a hunting and loving family dogs. I have been a Certified Veterinary Technician for 8 years, but do not currently practice at a clinic. I am currently a High School Science Teacher. I am able to administer medications both orally and subcutaneously (injected) if needed. We live in the country on 5 acres of land with a long driveway. There is a great walking trail nearby! I know how difficult it can be to find a safe and caring home for your dog when you are unavailable. We consider our dog as part of our family and your dog would be, too. I hope you consider myself, and the rest of my family, as an extension of your home. Thank you! Amber If you plan on boarding at my house, your dog must be good with kids (9 & 12) and other dogs. There also might be days the dogs are left at home from 6am-3pm without being left out (if both my husband and I are at work). As a dog owner and previous certified veterinary technician, I have many skills related to caring for pets. I will make sure your pet is taken care of to the best of my ability!

“Vanessa is a true cat-lover and our cat was comfortable with her from the first time they met. She took excellent care of him while we were away on vacation, followed directions, and I would highly recommend her to other cat parents.”

About: Your dog will feel right at home here—safe, loved, and rarely left alone. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m comfortable following routines, leash walking, and providing attentive, personalized care based on each dog’s needs. What truly sets me apart is the amount of time and companionship your dog will receive. I’m a stay-at-home mom to a 3-year-old and 1-year-old, and we’re a calm, dog-loving household. With close supervision, my kids enjoy gentle interactions and cuddles, so dogs receive consistent attention throughout the day—not just quick check-ins. Because I’m home most of the day, dogs are rarely left alone. Walks, feedings, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddle time are built naturally into our daily routine. I prioritize consistency so every dog feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for.

About: I have a bachelor's in Animal Science and am a certified veterinary technician (with an associate's degree). I take care of animals for a living 🩺 I work full time, so please message me on availability details. Primarily, weekend services are usually open and likely can be arranged for you 😊 I have an apartment that has a pet friendly park nearby, so it's great for outside play! Furniture is not off limits for the animals (if approved by the owners of course) 🐱
