About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved animals. I think fur babies are the sweetest thing because although they’re only with you for a little of their lives, you’re with them for all of theirs. I currently have a Shih Tzu & tuxedo cat of my own named Marble who are big babies. I currently work remotely Monday-Thursday 8:30 AM-4:30 PM so I’ll be home just about the whole day with your furry ones! Potty breaks, walks, and movie nights here won’t be a problem! I have a large yard next to my house so potty breaks won’t be a problem. Also I have an adult fixed Shih Tzu that loves naps, belly rubs, and playing to keep your fur one company!
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! I have helped friends and families take care of their fur babies for about 9 years now, from feeding, to walking, and even snuggling, I’ve always been there when they needed! I even have my own fur baby Athena. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open! I love a good chance to love on people’s fur babies though! I have a fenced in yard and cozy home for fur babies, while I am not currently accepting in home due to my dog currently, I would more than love to come feed and take care of yours!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Since I was 16, I’ve cared for pets of family and friends—everything from dogs and cats to birds, rats, and even horses. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always loved getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve also trained my own dogs and friends’ dogs to do over 30 different tricks, so I’m very comfortable with animals who are energetic, shy, or still learning. Additionally, I spent a few months working at an animal sanctuary in Costa Rica, where I helped care for a variety of animals and gained valuable hands-on experience. Whether they’re a playful puppy, a curious kitten, or a sweet senior in need of extra TLC, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own—making sure they feel safe, comforted, and completely loved while you’re away. I’m currently in between jobs because I am moving out to Lafayette soon. So I’m just looking for side work And my schedule is free. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on creating a calm, loving, and familiar environment. I follow the pet’s usual routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or medication. I make sure they get plenty of attention, comfort, and gentle care, especially if they're shy or have special needs. I have experience with a wide range of animals, including cats, dogs, birds, rats, and even horses, and I currently care for my own special needs cat with brain damage. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and energy, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home—whether they're staying with me or I'm staying with them.
About: What sets me apart? My personalized approach to each pet and owner, extensive experience with a variety of pets, and my commitment to providing updates and communication throughout the pet sitting process. I also offer additional services like dog walking and home care as needed. I can tailor my care to meet your pet's specific needs. Pet care should be a part of a routine and the frequency may vary depending on the type and age of the pet. It's important to devote enough time to our pets' needs to ensure their health and happiness. Caring for pets in the home involves feeding them, providing fresh water, exercising them, cleaning up after them, and providing affection and attention. This may include administering medication and ensuring they are groomed and healthy. In a client's home, the caregiver may also be responsible for ensuring the home is secure and safe for the pet while the owner is away. Different types of pets have different needs, so the care provided will depend on the species, breed, and individual animal. I am currently working part time, so I have ample time to give your pets all the love, walks, food, and attention they may need! I can (but not limited to) feed , take for walks, play outside or at the park, crate, whatever you or your furry friend need, I can do!
About: I am active and love to be active with a canine. I moved back to Louisiana from Hawaii in 2021. I have been an active Rover sitter in Honolulu since 2018. I love dogs and enjoy when they visit my home. My sweet Bear passed away last year so opening my home to care for other fur babies is extra special. I would really like to share the love I have to give with your dog/s. Also, I know dogs miss their owners and get lonely when their loved ones are away. I enjoy being able to keep your dog/s company and make sure they have all of their needs met; love, attention, treats, activities, etc. I have experience caring for a wide variety of animals (wild and domestic). I have owned dogs, cats, cows, horses, rabbits, chickens, sheep, goats, pigs, guinea pigs, hamsters, skunk, fish, turtles, sugar gliders, and prairie dogs. I have a college degree in biology and I worked as a veterinary tech while attending college. I work and babysit part-time so my schedule is flexible. I am home to cuddle and spend time in the yard as needed. We love to play outside. I have a fenced in yard with quite neighbors. It is very peaceful in my backyard. I love to spend time outdoors in my yard unless it is extremely hot or raining. I also love to take fur babies on outings to parks and wildlife areas.

I’m an animal lover and would love to care for any pets! I’m currently full time in college. During breaks between semesters I work full time as a financial intern. I get an hour for lunch every day and I’m off weekends. I get off of work at 5. Currently, my puppy stays in his kennel and gets let out any time I’m home. He gets trained daily and gets let out frequently. I plan to do the same and provide for whatever needs come my way with other pets.
