House Sitting in Independence

“Olivia was amazing with taking care of Bug. She was responsive, punctual, and kept me updated throughout. I really appreciated how patient, attentive, and caring she was. I felt comfortable knowing Bug was in good hands. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”

“We used Chuck to house sit and watch after our golden retriever for a week. He helped us out tremendously by making himself available on a last minute booking request. He was quick to respond and accommodated my schedule to do a meet and greet with our dog prior to his stay. Chuck went above and beyond with keeping us updated by text multiple times a day on how our dog was doing (pictures and all). I would definitely recommend him to anybody!”

About: I've always taken in stray dogs or cats growing up , I'm 34, and being with animals is therapeutic for me. I've trained my full grown golden doodle into adult hood although I got busy with dental school and decided it best for her well being to give her to a loving family who would be able to give her more attention because when going through dental hygiene school , I knew before starting I would not be able to give her the full attention that she deserved , me and my son had her for 5 great years and still visit with her and her new family . I am now no longer in dental school although I do work in dentistry and am looking for a part time side hustle , thank you for giving me this opportunity , working with animals is actually I job I enjoy. I do live in Kentwood La - very rural country , I am willing to travel as there is not a lot of business out here thank you for your understanding. I currently work as an expanded dental assistant working Monday - Thursday , the latest I get off is 4:30 and most days earlier than that . I work one Friday out of the month . I can come to you and watch your animals after 4:30 during the week If not earlier than that time , and I'm usually free Friday thru Sundays , I'll work with you and your schedule. I provide attentive and reliable care for pets as if they are my own children. Will keep update with pics/videos. Respect and communication is key.

“Meri was very responsible and caring. She took great care of Bubba and Panda. The dogs were happy and well fed. My home was immaculate when I returned. I would be happy to use her again.”

About: Pet sitting is more than just showing up. It's about making sure your animal feels safe, loved, and at ease even when you're not there. Growing up, animals were always a huge part of my life, from cats and dogs to guinea pigs and turtles. That early experience gave me a huge love for pets of all kinds. Your fur baby will be in caring, attentive hands. You can travel and go about your day knowing your pet is genuinely looked after, not just watched. I recently moved back home to Louisiana from living in Denver, Colorado for the past 5 years. With my schedule being so open and flexible, pet care fits naturally into my day. I am able to give your pet consistent attention, timely walks, and plenty of quality time without it ever feeling rushed. Safety and trust are two things that I will never compromise on. When I'm in a client's home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would give my own. I want both pets and their owners to feel completely at ease, knowing their home and their animal are in good hands. I take thorough notes on routines, preferences, and any special needs so nothing gets overlooked. I always make sure the environment stays safe, comfortable, and familiar for your pet.

“Peyton watched our 3 Bassett hounds for us at our campground while we were vacationing in Ponchatoula. She was so patient with them. Our Dixie who is a real handful warmed up to her right away. I'm thankful for Peyton I couldn't stand the thought of them being in a kennel. Will definitely recommend to anyone”

“David is a very reliable and caring sitter! He jumped in last minute to take care of Charlie over Christmas when we had another sitter cancel. He is very reliable and communicative and we could not appreciate him more! He does so well with our dog and we highly recommend you work with David! He administers Charlie’s pill daily, takes him on long walks, and spends tons of time with him so he is not lonely. We cannot recommend David enough!”

“Chloe took such good care of our Gracie girl! She communicated well, sent pics and left our home in tiptop shape after housesitting for several days. We were delighted to find she went above and beyond - washed all the linens she used, picked up poop in the yard and covered our hot tub when the cover flew off unexpectedly. Our pup seemed very content and loved when we arrived home. Highly recommend!”

About: I've had dogs my whole life and have been responsible for feeding, walking, and playing with them from ages <1 to as old as 8. I'm currently a student who has class for only 3 hours during the day M-Th and work the night shift on weekends, meaning I'm available during mornings and afternoons with your fur babies during the week! I'm happy to work with you and what you're comfortable with for your pup. Whether you have your own yard, have strictly inside pets, or have a dog park near by- I'm happy to do anything to make you and your pets as comfortable as possible!

“Megan sat with my fur babies for 7 days in my house while we were on vacation. She texted pictures and communicated through out the week. Having her take care of my dog and cat in their own home was a blessing and definitely helped with having less stress being away for so long. When I did get home, Roux and Salem looked healthy and happy.”

About: I’ve been fostering animals for over a year now with Companion Animal Alliance Shelter and Friends of the Animals Rescue ! I have cared for just about any size or breed of cat/dog and even reptiles/amphibians! I enjoy spending time and caring for animals and it has always been a passion of mine. I’m very dependable and will be sure to send plenty of pictures of your babies during my time with them. I’m currently working part time so I will be available any week day after 4:30pm and all day Saturday. I’m potentially willing to take off of work depending on the clients needs. I like to take lots of walks and spend time in the yard with the animals. If a fenced in yard is required I will be happy to make accommodations to make sure he/she/they are able to spend time outside in an enclosed area. I enjoy cuddling and spending quality time with the animals I care for. I don’t have any restrictions for what furniture they are allowed on and have my own washable dog beds that they can use unless the owner prefers otherwise . I don’t own nor typically crate animals but if that is preferable I will have no problem doing so.

“Laura was great. She came to our rescue on short notice. Stayed at our house over the weekend so we could take our kids and grandchildren away. She was great with our dogs. Sent pictures and even washed the sheets and towels swept the floor and threw out some expired milk. Thank you Laura we would love to have you in our home when we go to Australia later this year. Angela and Emanuel, Sydney and Samson”

About: I’ve had a variety of different experiences with animals. One of my most noteworthy probably being a year that I spent doing volunteer work at a local animal shelter. I also have experience walking/sitting dogs and cats. Being in graduate school I have some flexibility in my free time, and would love to spend that free time getting to hangout with some cool pets! I care for pets by making sure they have proper supervision, maintain the owners preferred diet, and being sure to give them lots of attention and exercise.

About: I’ve been caring for animals since 2015 and truly enjoy working with pets of all kinds. I am CPR certified and have experience handling many different types of animals and personalities. I also have strong references available. I have over an acre of land with a partially fenced yard, which allows for safe outdoor time, exercise, and play in a calm environment. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I keep a pretty open schedule and can work with most days and times, including weekends. I’m flexible with mornings, afternoons, and evenings and do my best to accommodate last-minute needs when possible. Safety and trust are my top priorities.

I have experience with a wide variety of animals and make sure each pet is handled according to their needs, personality, and routine.
