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 have always grown up around animals. I’m full of energy and so excited to met your sweet fluffy angels! No animal is to big or small. I have a completely open schedule and ready for any animal needs. I have a completely open schedule and will respond asap! Im super active and just want a fur friend to hang out with! I’m currently saving up money for a laptop for college and need all the work I can get. I have a fenced in yard that I will supervise every dog in when they’re out. I love to go on runs so plenty of exercise for you pet. If dog is friendly with other animals then I have friends who have dogs that love playdates as well.
About: I have about 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I follow care instructions closely, prioritize safety and routine, and love keeping owners updated with photos and messages. Hi! I’m Marissa, a responsible and caring animal lover with over 5 years of experience caring for dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and love making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take pride in following care instructions closely. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and happy to send updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away. My fiancé and I have an almost 2-year-old Aussie, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, playtime, and providing a safe, loving environment for pets in our home. I work part-time and attend school at LSUE a few hours two days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule for morning, afternoon, and evening care. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort in both my home and my client’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, keep pets in a clean and secure environment, and make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always properly secured. I respect routines and communicate immediately if anything seems off. I treat every pet and home as if they were my own.

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated, long‑time animal care professional with over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician and another 5 years working in animal rescue and adoption services. I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including seniors, special‑needs pups, and dogs who require behavior‑savvy handling. My vet tech background means I’m comfortable with medication administration, monitoring health changes, basic first aid, and recognizing early signs of stress or illness. My rescue work has given me deep experience with fearful, energetic, or previously underserved dogs, and I always meet each dog exactly where they are—patiently and positively. Above all, I’m an all‑around animal person who truly loves building trust and making sure your dog feels safe, understood, and well‑cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or keeping a consistent routine, I’m here to give your pup the same level of care I’d want for my own. I currently work full time but will make your pets a priority. I can drop in any time in the morning/afternoon. Weekends are a breeze and I can do over nights. I can be flexible to any pet parents needs. We have a doggy park, or I can leash walk in my own yard. I have 3 very friendly, senior dogs. I can crate animals or leave them out. I can pretty much do it all in whatever environment if comfortable for clients.
About: I have 2 dogs of my own, so I know all the necessities a dog needs. I’ve had dogs since I was young and I have experience with big and little dogs. I am currently a senior in Highschool and have a full schedule (for this semester). I am available anytime after school hours (3:06). I currently work on weekends at The Children’s Museum. I am also available after 4:30 on weekends! I have no after-school curricular’s. I feed my dogs daily and constantly. I know just how much care a dog’s needs. I absolutely love dogs and am happy to take care and love yours!
About: I grew up on a farm with many different animals! I’m a college student at mcneese state university. I’m majoring in animal science to become a vet! Pet care can easily fit into my daily week! I have flexible hours for my classes. I’m available for mornings, mid-days and evenings also weeknds! I have a safe and dog/ cat friendly home. I have an area to walk the dogs to make sure they can get a good walk in!
About: I have had many animals in my lifetime, starting from very young! I have had the honor of taking care of friends and family’s dogs/kitties for many years as well as having my own. I have really grown to love sitting and consider it a true passion! I currently work part-time and am in school, but I still have quite a lot of time on my hands which I would love to spend with animals! I am very gentle with dogs and cats alike. I can easily play and get them to be pretty comfortable with me quickly! I have never trained a dog, however, one of my close relatives is a dog trainer and I have watched her closely over the years!
