Dog Walking Jefferson

About: I have always lived with dogs since I was a small child. The last 8 years I have been house/dog sitting for a retired couple with multiple dogs. This past May I lost my 16 year old rat terrier- broke my heart. Shortly after a relative asked me to keep his chocolate lab for a week and I loved it. I miss having a dog at the house! I work full time currently from home until COVID pandemic is over. My office is 10 minutes away from home- lunch visits to the house would be made on days needed. I own my own home with a fenced in yard next door to a empty lot. I have no children do it would be just me at the house.

“We love Faith! She’s always reliable and our pup loves her”

“Celeste is lovely!! My girl, Lemon, gets anxious around new people, but Celeste is extremely gentle and patient, and Lemon came around and enjoyed her walk and company. 10/10 will definitely be utilizing her again!! She is so helpful and amazing :)”

About: I have taken care of animals, dogs especially, since I was really little, I have always had some kind of dog in my life at all times. I have pet sat for other family members, for neighbors and for friends dogs. I love meeting new fur friends!! Because I have a dog of my own I can understand the needs you have for your dog & am always willing to help whenever I can. Your dogs care is always a top priority. I always go in with a warm attitude, pets want to know you are there to help them, not scare or hurt them. If your pet is like mine, they love snuggles and treats- that’s exactly what I will provide (within reason of course). I can’t wait to meet you and your pet(s).

About: I am a dependable animal lover that will care for your animals like they are mine. I am passionate about caring for animals and giving them the best care that I can provide. I am home full time with a large fenced in yard great for playing and exploring. I have a kitchen that is great for hemming dogs up if they need some alone time to relax and rest. I have pet-sit and dog walked for extra income for years. I would love to help you provide the happiest life for your pup! Puppies are welcome! Seniors dogs are welcome! Dogs with special needs are welcome! Let’s chat and decide how I can best assist you and your fur baby! I look forward to hearing from you.

“Deana was great at communication, recording the walks, and keeping my pup so happy! Will use again. If your dog/pet is your best friend/baby, you can trust that Deana will take amazing care of them!”

“We love and trust her as does our golden. She is reliable and punctual. We ask for her help at least once a week- twice a day, and she feeds our pup, takes her on a walk, plays with her, and loves on her. Lindsay is the equivalent of having either my spouse or myself home- what more could you ask for….”

“Idalis did a wonderful job with my dog. I would absolutely recommend her!”

About: I grew up around dogs and cats and love all furry friends! Love giving pets, scratches, and playing with furry friends. And most importantly… cuddling! I’m currently working on getting my master’s for social work so I only work part time and go to school online. I’m available on weekends and most of the day on Tuesdays and Fridays if I don’t have to drop off/pick up my mom from work. I am very attentive with pets, giving them attention, pets and cuddles. I work with autistic children so my reflexes are quick and I am always paying attention!

About: I’ve been a dedicated pet owner for several years and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. As a dog and cat mom myself, I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, cleaning litter boxes, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll tailor my care to their unique personality and routine. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I make time each day to ensure pets receive the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, or simply spending quality time with them, I’m committed to keeping pets happy, comfortable, and on their regular routine. I also plan my schedule to be dependable and communicate with owners through updates and photos, so they have peace of mind while they’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their usual routine and giving them plenty of attention, patience, and affection. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get the exercise or playtime they need, and receive lots of companionship. I also keep their space clean, whether that means scooping litter boxes, cleaning up after walks, or tidying food and water areas. I’ll respect your home, follow any special care instructions, and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

“Julia was wonderful when caring for our dog Freya! Our girl is very shy and nervous around strangers and Julia helped her to feel more comfortable and less anxious. I appreciated the updates of how Freya was doing as well as the adorable pictures she sent! I will definitely recommend Julia to our friends and family and anyone in need of a reliable and professional pet sitter.”

About: What sets me apart is that I don’t simply “check in” on your fur babies; I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including regular and extended care while their families travel. For the past six years, I’ve been consistently trusted to care for pets when Dad and Mom go away on frequent trips, including stays of more than 30 days. I’m comfortable administering medications, staying at your residence, accommodating specific dietary needs and feeding schedules, maintaining established routines, regular walks and exercise, litter care, playtime, and, of course, plenty of companionship and affection. And please, give me ALL the instructions! You can leave me a legitimate PowerPoint presentation about your baby, and I will happily follow it to a T. 😂 I know every pet has their own routine, favorite things, quirks, boundaries, and very specific ways they like things done. (I’m a Virgo, so I know meticulous details. 😂) I’d much rather know every little detail so I can keep their world as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I will also send you pictures and updates to provide you with peace of mind. I’m patient with shy or cautious animals, attentive to changes in behavior, and happy to adapt to different personalities, ages, and energy levels. Whether your baby needs long walks and playtime, is a workout nut (to keep me in shape, too 😂), needs extra attention, wants a cuddle buddy, or needs someone who understands that affection happens strictly on THEIR terms, I’ll follow their lead. Most importantly, I understand that you’re trusting me with a member of your family and, often, your home as well. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your babies are safe, your home is safe, and your babies are comfortable, loved, and having a pretty great time with their favorite auntie, while you take care of whatever needs your attention, without having to stress about what’s happening back at home. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Whether your baby needs early morning or evening walks, scheduled feedings, medication at specific times, regular check-ins, playtime, or simply someone around to keep them company, I can adjust my schedule around their needs. I’m also available for overnight and extended stays in your home, which allows your pets to remain comfortable in their own environment and maintain the routine they’re already used to. Since my schedule has flexibility, I’m happy to spend quality time with your babies rather than rushing in and out. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in my home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, exercise, litter care, playtime, bedtime routines, and all of those little details that make your baby feel safe and at home. We spend most of the day together, so they are not alone for long periods of time if I have to run off to check on another baby. I’m happy to stay overnight and spend quality time with your pets rather than simply popping in and out if you prefer. I’ll give them the level of attention and affection THEY are comfortable with, whether that means lots of cuddles and companionship, plenty of activity, or giving a shy kitty their space until they decide I’ve earned their approval. 😂 I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give mine. I’ll keep things tidy, clean as needed, and secure, and send you regular pictures and updates. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that both your babies and your home are being genuinely cared for. 🐾

About: Throughout my life I have pet sat dogs, cats, rats, bunnies, and reptiles such as bearded dragons and currently work at a doggy daycare/vet. Not only do I have experience caring for animals in a home but I also have experience caring for animals at work and feeding and bathing/exercising them. I am a pretty busy gal but I still have time for your pets! I work Sunday through Monday either 8:30-5, 7:30-4 or 7-3:30. Im off on Feidays and Saturdays. I usually can provide services for your animal in the evenings/late afternoons and weekends. I enjoy providing daily exercise and snuggles. I have a fenced front yard, long concrete driveway perfect for running, and a fenced in backyard with a deck for animals that like to be outside but also need to be monitored. I also have 2 dog friendly dogs and a cat and 3 rats.

“Kat was fantastic! We made a schedule for twice daily walks of my beagle mix Philippe while I recovered from surgery. Some days I was in such pain I'd ask her to feed Philippe so I wouldn't have to come downstairs. She was just perfect and Philippe loved her! Couldn't recommend anyone more!”

About: I specialize in one-on-one care for anxious, sensitive, and extra-affectionate pets who thrive with individualized attention. Whether your fur baby experiences separation anxiety, doesn’t do well around other animals, or simply needs extra love and reassurance, I provide a calm, comfortable home where they can feel safe and cared for. I’m a writer who works from home, lives alone, and **boards only one pet at a time.** That means no other animals, no children, and plenty of personalized attention for your baby throughout the day. Your fur baby can enjoy walks, playtime, belly rubs, couch cuddles, or simply having a comforting human nearby. I’ve always been an animal lover and find that time with them is as valuable to me, as it is to them. I spent four wonderful years with my sweet cat, Henry, and helped co-raise an adorable Goldendoodle, Paris, for three years before she moved away with her other pet parent. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends, family, and Rover clients over the years. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so your fur baby gets to be the center of attention! I’m affectionate, patient, dependable, and committed to making your pet feel as loved and comfortable as they would at home. I’m a full-time, stay-at-home writer, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your fur baby lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I love having a furry companion join me for my morning and evening walks. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I only board pets from one household at a time, so your fur baby gets plenty of individual attention and a calm, secure environment without unfamiliar pets coming and going. I have a large fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, and I’m also walking distance from a beautiful large park that’s perfect for longer walks and exploring. I have a dog crate available for crate-trained pups, and I’m happy to follow your usual feeding, walking, sleeping, and household routines so your pet feels as comfortable and at home as possible while you’re away.

About: I have volunteered for Zeus's Rescues walking dogs for three years. I previously owned two shetland sheepdogs for several years! There is nothing, absolutely nothing, in this world that is better than spoiling a dog or having extended playtime with a dog or pet. I am always reachable, overly communicative, and reliable in an emergency. My schedule is very open right now and I expect to be working part time soon. I look forward to communicating with you and your pet about your schedule and your needs. I can comfortably handle any breed or any size pet! I am offering dog walking, drop in visits for your pet, and house sitting. I am comfortable with and proficient at: measuring and feeding the proper amount of food, making sure your pets stay hydrated, administering the right amount of medication, taking care of your home while you're away, (I'm a homeowner myself,) playing with your pet, tiring out your pet, reducing your pet's stress, giving love and affection to your pet, and taking your pet to the vet in the event of an emergency.

About: My friendships with cats and dogs began as a child having both as pets. I have been a dog walker and housesitter/personal assistant in San Francisco and New Orleans for years and am now spending most of my time back here at home in New Orleans. I have cared for medium and large sized dogs with daily adventures to the beach, hikes and visiting all the amazing parks around the Bay Area and bayou areas of Louisiana. I love caring for client's pets in various cities as well as locally. I also spend time with smaller dogs plus some cats throughout New Orleans. I look forward to meeting your pets here! Often dogs are on new and healthy diets so I like to learn about your pets needs. Treats are given according to direction from you. I respect all pets diets and details of their routines. I love to take photos and video of your pets on their walks, playtime and lounging afterwards to share with you. I have an online business so my schedule is flexible and can be available throughout the day and evening. I am available for overnight stays. Generally I care for pets within their home so that their routines and eating schedule stay the same. That way it is less stressful for them when their person is out of town. Like us, they love their familiar surroundings, bedding, neighborhood, etc. I follow the rules of their house and happy to serve them at home. As a former property manager, I am a respectful caretaker of your home while there and can handle things that can come up for you.

About: As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of having trusted care! I have been pet sitting for 5 plus years. As a nanny/house manger I have a flexible schedule! I am full time nanny & house manger. I have a pretty flexible day schedule and week schedule. Happy to accommodate with you & your pets schedule! I know the importance of a trusted pet sitter & I am able to provide you with that. Will give updates & keep you informed during my time with your pet.

“Skyler is fantastic and I have no reservations about recommending her.. She was reliable, communicative, and my dog was so HAPPY -- both in the photos she sent as well as when I arrived home. .”

“Backkyoung has cared for my gaggle of cats and rambunctious dog now a couple of times and has taken great care of them! My house cat has complicated meds and my dog is a puller on walks and sensitive to strangers and Backkyoung has cared for them with ease, sending photos and asking questions whenever needed. Thank you Backkyoung and hopefully my crew will get to see you next time I am out of town !”
