“Bobbi was very friendly. She was very punctual. My dogs came back from their walks so happy. Now they are getting ready for a nap. I am extremely happy with Bobbi. I will definitely ask her to come again.”

About: I have years of experience working with animals. I have volunteered in shelters and have been pet sitting for years. I can take care of many types of animals, no matter if they’re furry or scaly! Training, medicine (no injections) or extensive playtime are all acceptable! My schedule is flexible. I have open availability and can work around tough schedules. If you have any questions about my schedule, just ask me! I will treat your pets with the utmost love and respect. I will follow any rules or schedules you have to the letter. Lots of cuddles and playtime will be given freely unless it is not you or your pets wishes! I have a lot of patience and can deal with anxious/aggressive animals. Pet sitting is my main focus right now. I keep my schedule flexible so I can do what’s best for your pet’s needs! My weekends are typically closed off but I can make things work if requested. I always ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible. I want them to feel safe and secure while I am in their home. I will give as much attention or space as needed.

About: I’ve owned dogs, cats, and many other pets since childhood. I worked at a doggy day care, and I spent 14 years making my best friend, Buddy, my second job. He wanted for nothing, and neither will yours! I’m looking to work up to 25 hours a week doing pet care. I can do early mornings, evenings as late as 8pm, and as many overnights as you need! If you ask me to care for your pets in your own home, I will treat them as my own. I will spend time on the ground rubbing bellies, playing fetch or chase in the backyard, and will follow all instructions regarding food and/or medications.

“Jordan was wonderful to take Harley and Callaway out for a walk. They both enjoyed their time with her. Will definitely be using her services again. Thank you Jourdan!”

About: I have owned and looked after dogs for most of my life. I absolutely love interacting with animals and have been responsible for up to 4 dogs at a time for overnight sitting. I own a large dog, and am comfortable with most all sizes and breeds. I currently work part-time, so my schedule may vary slightly from time to time, but I am always sure that any changes are reflected in my booking availability. I have 3 dogs (two small, one large-two females, one male). All 3 are extremely friendly and LOVE to play (their favorite is tug-of-war :) )

“Anna was great with our dog! Very reliable and sent lots of updates along with pictures and videos.”

About: I've helped give birth to 10 separate litters of puppies and I've helped raise 4 of the babies 💪❤️🥹 I've had to give multiple medicines including, eye ointment that went straight into the eye, antibiotics, and sleeping meds where the dogs needed to be monitored for 8 hours after ingesting. I've also dealt with 2 dogs with cones, one being only 9 weeks old and had it for 2.5 weeks. I also have the description for how to do the heimlich maneuver on a dog saved to my phone for emergencies (luckily I've never had to use it yet). My love for dogs could never be compared. I will take a bullet for any dog including yours 🫂 I just want you to know your babies are in good hands when they're with me ❤️ I have 2 of my own fur babies that I am a stay at home mama to and take care of all by myself every single day ❤️🥹 They are my absolute world and I will do whatever it takes to raise them well. I would have to watch them at your residence as my mama bear doesn't like other dogs near her baby. I have lowered my pricing because of this and I apologize for any conflict this may cause.

About: I have grown up with dogs of all kinds but specifically medium to larger dogs like labradors, huskies, and German shepherds. I have been dog sitting ever since I was 14. Family, friends, and others. I have experience in dog sitting, walking and running with them, feeding, and bathing them as well. I have helped take care of many puppies and senior dogs too! I am a college student so I am pretty much free anytime outside of class which is generally anytime before 9 and after 4. I have multiple breaks throughout the day though, so I can walk, feed, or just check in on the pups when needed. I usually just ask how my clients interact with their dogs and do the same. Like where the dogs are allowed to go in the house or outside of it, any command words that they use often, how often they need exercise, etc. I have a lot of experience with different dogs and different dog owners so it looks different depending on the household.

About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.

About: My name is Elizabeth. I have taken care of all kinds of animals from chickens to snakes to peacocks and cows. I grew up around dogs and farm animals my mother loved parrots and macaws, so I also know about them and their temperament. Instead of babysitting children as a teenager I baby sat my mom’s friend’s farms and my friend’s houses and pets. I’m a caring knowledgeable candidate that grew up around it all. I was a grounds keeper for a little bit, but I moved. I love all animals, even the reptiles (I had a turtle). I’m currently in the works of starting my own business as an event planner. My schedule is very open and I’m willing to work around my schedule to make your own easier! I treat my pet like she is my child. She is a nine year old Chesapeake bay retriever mix so the temperament of an angel. She is super lazy, but she loves other dogs and is the friendliest baby you could ever meet. She goes outside and she goes on walks 4 to 5 times a day. She gets fed twice a day and her water bowl is never empty. She is up to date on all vaccines and I have proof of all her medical records. If a dog has any issues with her she has a separate area just for her.

“We have had Erika walk our dogs a few times now and are looking forward to having her dog sit for us! Her calm demeanor is great for our one anxious and one really rambunctious dog :)”

About: My job is to provide TLC & any other service to your dog at anytime as I run my own business with flexible hours! All dog breeds are companions of mine! I have had pure breed and mutts for 20+ years and I currently own 2.

When your away, you'll have zero worries about your 4 legged best friend & when you come home they'll be happier than they were when you left! I am very flexible and follow insurrections very well!

Now as a full time mom I’m looking to continue doing it with my son who LOVES pets just as much as I do. I care for other people’s pets just as they are my own. For pet owners, the pet is their baby so it must be treated as such. <3

About: Hello awesome pawsome pet owners! My name is Josie. Born and raised in Covington LA. My fun loving attitude is why so many dogs and dogs owners love me. My pet care experience started over 20 years ago when I moved to London in 2004. I started walking a family members dog on days she was out. I absolutely loved it. Not only was Casper benefitting from his walks so was I. Then, eventually another family member had me walk their dog too. It didn't stop there. When I would come home to visit during summer or holidays friends would ask me to walk their dog. Back then I was also staying over night at their houses. Today, that service is no longer available now that I have my own dog named Abby. I moved back home to Covington December 2018. I started working immediately for a family business for 10 months. Took some time off from working. I then started my own Pet Care Services which included day time drop in visits. I had that business for nearly 2/12 years. Drop in visits are no longer an option for because I am caring part time for my elderly mom. I am looking to walk a dog or 2 Monday - Friday between 10am -3pm. I can provide walks in your neighborhood, local parks or let your pet out in your yard. Whatever you and your dog prefer. I will provide plenty of exercise, love and a good time. (maybe slip them an extra a treat or two). I love walking in the rain, provided there is no thunder, lightening or other severe weather conditions. In which case, walks will need to be done before or after. My work schedule is flexible and I'm available for walking your dog Monday - Friday between 10am -3pm. I am very active and used to going on long walks in an areas where your dog feels comfortable and confident. I am very good with keeping time, so I want clear instructions on walks and needs of your dog. Their leash, harness and poop bags need to be in a spot that is easily accessible. I want to know what they love as well as what they fear so the latter can be avoided. Your dog's mental, physical health and safety is very important to me, I want our walks to be something good for your dog. Happy walks, happy tails🐕🤣!!! As a previous, business owner, I am very punctual and I communicate well, so again this is essential before I accepting any walks. I actually love walking in drizzle rain ( something I got used to living in London lol!) provided there is no thunder, lightening or severe weather. Your towels will need to be put in an area that is convenient for drying your dog. I would love to find a family who wants the best for their dog and perhaps have week-day daily walk. I like having a schedule. I like dogs to get out of the house especially if they are home alone most of the day. It's so good for their over all health. It cuts down on barking, anxious feelings, depression, mischievous behavior and accidents in the house. Most importantly, they feel loved and appreciated by their owners having be included in something the love to do, which is walk🐕‍🦺, play⚽ and be lovingly💕 petted. All walks will happen from your house and it needs to be a smoke free environment, As a vegan, I treat all animals I walk with love and kindness. As if they were my own fur baby. Safety of your dog is very important to me, so i would like to know what they love and as well as what the fear, so that the latter can be avoided. I believe walks are supposed to be a fun adventurous time for your dog. A time for them to be a dog and enjoy getting out of the house. I don't play on my phone. A quick few photos taken so I can send as an update at the end of the job is the only reason i will be on my phone. An alarm will be set on my phone giving us reasonable time to go for a walk and return home. I like to keep a schedule and be on time. I am someone who likes to be aware of my surroundings at all time ensuring the safety of your dog as well as mine. I keep an eye out for things like pesticides on ant hills to avoid dog sniffing. I look out for people working in their yards with weed eaters and blowers ect, because the sounds of those machines are very loud for dogs and sometimes cause anxiety. LA lovely poisonous creatures is something i am mindful about watching out for too. I clean up poop and throw away in popular poop bins or your outside bins. I will not travel with it in my car. I am also aware of careless drivers in our community.

About: Hello! My name is Samantha Jones and I am a a professional dog trainer. I provide in home boarding, doggy daycare and walks. All service will be training based and will give your pup a chance to learn new skills during their stay! I specialize in dog socialization and manners. I love to help dogs come out of their shell and become the best version of themselves. I value the level of trust it takes to leave your furry family members somewhere they love when you cannot be with them and treat the pups like my own during their stay. I am comfortable with all different types of sizes and personalities! I can't wait to meet your furry friend! ***DOGS MUST BE CRATE TRAINED TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR ALL SERVICES*** Training Based Services: Boarding and Daycare: Dogs will be exposed to healthy social groups with other dogs, leash manners will be assessed and practiced using a slip leash, and crate manners will be assessed and impulse control will be improved upon while asking dogs to wait for their turn to come out and play while also using the crate as a safe place for dogs to turn their brains off. Walks: Structured walks will provide your dog a chance to not only burn off energy physically, but to also work their brain. Dogs all shapes and sizes can benefit from improving their leash manners. It’s a fact, dogs that are enjoyable to walk get invited to go more places with their owners! Nail Trims & Baths: Cooperative care is something I am passionate about and have seen so many dogs struggle with having their basic needs met (proper nail/ear care, grooming, and baths). This can be a stressful situation when dogs are not able to progress at their own pace. Add any of these services on to their time they will already be spending with me! I can go at their pace to make sure they are comfortable. It is hard to act your best when you do not feel your best! A low stress home environment and can make all the difference in these situations as opposed to back to back appointments that need to stay on schedule with a vet or groomer. **If you have specific training goals you would like to work on during your pups stay, please let me know and we can put together a game plan! **I do not turn dogs away for behavioral reasons but do require owners are up front and honest about any dangerous behaviors for both the the dog’s and my own safety. ‼️‼️**I typically have more than one dog with me at a time. I schedule my day based off of my already confirmed appointment times. I can typically be pretty flexible IF a needed change is communicated with as much notice as possible. Please respect that I offer these services out of my home and do not show up outside of scheduled appointment times.**‼️‼️ Requirements for booking: -Up to date vaccination records - Completed questionnaire (will be provided through a message or can be emailed) I have a very flexible schedule and train, play and care for and with the pups full time! I am home majority of my days and enjoy hanging out with the pups as much as possible! I have a large secure outdoor yard and indoor playroom for the pups to play and learn in! Dog safety is very important to me. As a professional dog trainer, I am able to read dog body language to pick up on when dogs are nervous or uncomfortable and make adjustments to help them relax in their home away from home!
