I also have a walking trail close by that I take my dogs on regularly. I have a doggy door that your dogs can go in and out as well.

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 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: We have always had a house full of dogs and at least one cat, but now just me! They will have my undivided attention, promise! I am an empty nester and I can adjust my flexible routine to tailor your animals home life. I want to make the anxiety of you being gone, easy for them.

About: I treat every pet like my own, offering loving, reliable care with attention, comfort, playtime, and patience so your pet feels safe, happy and at ease at all times. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly schedule. I’m available most weekdays for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I am in the wedding industry and specialize in bridal makeup. My weekdays are pretty much my free time. On the weekends, I’m Available before & after my bridal parties are finished to stop in & check on your pet, stay over night if needed. Luckily, I have a flexible schedule! Although I do not have a fenced in yard, if given the say so, I have dog parks around me. I also have a 4 1/2 lb Pomeranian who I take to the dog parks as well to get all her zoomies out.
“Tiffany was so amazing with our sweet Bella girl! She was very responsive, super kind and caring, and kept us updated on all of her walks including adorable pictures. We felt very secure with Tiffany watching over our fur baby! We will definitely be using her in the future, she is the best! Thank you Tiffany!”

“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: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them goes beyond just “watching dogs” for me! I spent nearly a year working at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, as well as energy levels-from playful 4 month old puppies to sweet senior dogs who just need a little extra patience and care. I grew up around dachshunds and dobermans my whole life, and I now have my own Dalmatian that I rescued from illegal breeding. I understand both high-energy breeds and animals with unique personalities. My experience in pet sitting, dog behavior, proper socialization, and enrichment allows me to provide care that is attentive, structured, and tailored to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, mental stimulation, or simply a calm and restful environment, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for and loved while you are away. As a college student out for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Aside from a job commitment one weekend a month, my availability is open for almost anything-walks, drop-ins, and daycare! Your pets comfort and safety are always my #1 priority. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming home where your dog can feel right at home. I make sure they have both companionship and personal space when needed. I have a room in my home with a tall baby gate dedicated for dogs where they can decompress, and nothing will bother them if they want their own space. I also have a very playful and friendly Dalmatian, Siggy, who loves having company around the house. I will always supervise if Siggy would be around your dog, including a safe and proper introduction of the two dogs and continuously watching them when they would be playing.
“I own a very quirky dog who was badly abused in the past. She does not take kindly to strangers. Evelyn was patient and kind, and eventually won Lily's trust. She treated both of my dogs as if they were her own. I can't think of enough good things to say about her. If you love your pooches and want them to have the very best care, don't hesitate for a moment......contact Evelyn. (Plus she has 2 of the cutest kids you've ever met!)”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is the genuine love and care I bring to every animal I work with, along with a deep understanding of their unique needs. I have experience working with a wide range of pets, from energetic puppies who need consistency and basic training, to senior pets who require extra patience, gentle handling, and possibly medication management. I’m skilled in reading animal body language, which helps me quickly build trust and create a calm, safe environment. Whether it’s reinforcing positive behavior in younger pets, helping with crate training, or making sure older pets stay comfortable and cared for, I tailor my approach to each individual animal. Your pet won’t just be looked after—I’ll treat them like family, with plenty of affection, play, and attention to their routines and preferences. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it doesn’t feel like a task, it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I make time every day for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care a pet might need, whether that's administering medication, doing training exercises, or simply providing companionship and comfort. When I'm pet sitting, I structure my schedule around the pet’s needs, I stay consistent with their usual routine to help them feel safe and at ease, whether it's early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or evening snuggles. My goal is to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible for both the pet and their owner. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comforting environment that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. In my home, I offer a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, rest, and explore. I keep everything secure and pet-proofed, and I always do a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure your pet feels comfortable here. I do have 4 dogs of my own in home, so depending on your dog(s) and mine upon meet-and-greet, they will always have others to play with or I can always safely keep them separated, comfortable and calm at all times while staying with me. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s diet, crate training, medication, or anything else—and provide updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for. In your home, I make it a priority to respect your space while giving your pet the love and attention they need. I stick to their regular feeding, walking, and play schedules to minimize stress and keep things familiar. I’m also happy to take care of small household tasks like bringing in mail or watering plants while you're away. No matter the setting, I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, affection, and a whole lot of belly rubs and love!
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 :) )
About: I’ve been with a variety of animals; dogs, cats, turtles, a bearded dragon, and the list goes on. I can care for larger and smaller dogs, such as pit bull to dachshunds. Also have experience for pets with any medical or special concerns. Just finished caring for Frenchie with seizures. I am only working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. My schedule is flexible and I’m free during the weekends. I have a fenced in backyard with two friendly dogs. My neighbor’s dog is also fenced in, but she comes over to play every now and then.
About: I have been raising and caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. From birthing puppies to senior dog care. Who doesn’t love a furry friend! I am a teacher who is off for summer break and would love to fill my summer free time helping your special furry family members! I am currently living in an apartment living so I understand the need for dog walks. I will visit and provide lots of love and attention.

About: I’ve had 2-3 dogs in the house for the entirety of my life. I have dog/house sat for many people in my neighborhood and have always been a reliable helping hand. I’ve taken care of dogs that have strict diet and medication regimines, as well. I have experience with both big and little dogs. I’m a lover of all animals! I’m finishing up my last year of grad school and have recently moved back home to Mandeville! I currently work at St. Tammany Parish Hospital 4 days a week and have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends! I can make sure to conform to any house rules you may have in place for me and for your pups. I can easily crate your pet, if needed. I am very attentive and full of energy to play with or take your pups for walks.
About: I grew up on a farm, had lots of dogs, cats, and all sorts of other animals to care for. As an adult, I’ve had quite a few cats, and I’m the current owner of three small dogs. I am currently working from home. Travel once a month. So I have plenty of time to check on the babies, play with them outside, and give them occasional treats. I have a fenced in yard that is designed for small dogs, a large dog would likely jump over. But it works great for the small dogs, plenty of shade, plenty of grass. And in the house, I have an abundance of pet beds, and blankies.
About: My name is Amber and I am a 27 years old! I have two pet bunnies named Jimmy and Twix, and a dog named Juno! I have been a pet-sitter since I was in my teens and absolutely love my clients pets as I do my own. I have experience with cats, dogs, rabbits, and also reptiles! I have cared for senior pets as well as young pets. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I currently work part-time as a server in Mandeville. The shifts are 4-6 hours long. I do not work doubles when I am scheduled for pet-sitting, so no need to worry about me being gone for anything more than 4-6 hours at a time. I have two bunnies of my own, so I just need to check on them every other day for overnight stays. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. When I do overnight stays, I will leave your house cleaned and taken care of as I do my own.
About: I have a love for all animals, as a child growing up I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian Assistant. I began doing foster care for dogs in 2020 after doing this for a while I felt a much greater need to help even more. I began my own dog rescue in 2020. I walk, play, love and care for each animal. I have rescued and rehomed several dogs to safe and loving homes. I treat them as if they were my own. The unbreakable bond between pets and their people is something that will forever warm my heart! I’m currently working part time. I’m available after work and on my off days. Just message me and we can make things work! I’m more than happy to help! I have three fur-babies of my own and they love to run around and play outside, there is 7-acres of land, and the best part is not by any main roads, it’s private. I also walk my dogs or let them play inside with some toys. Depending on your pet and your instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure that your pet and you as well feel comfortable with things. If it’s a client’s home then whatever instructions are given I’ll make sure to go by!
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.
