Doggy Day Care in Kickapoo

About: I know that you have many options for care. I have been working through Rover since early 2020 and would like to share some information about myself. I made the decision to take an early retirement after twenty-two years at Northwestern State University when my husband and I relocated to Shreveport and both of our children went off to college. This move gave me the opportunity to pursue a job that I ❤️ and am passionate about. I believe dogs and cats are the most awesome of Earth's creatures, and, in my eyes, are such precious members of our families. I am a long-time dog and cat owner and currently a parent to three rescued dogs. I also was an active volunteer and Board Member for Natchitoches Hope for Paws dog rescue from 2012 to 2022. During this time, I worked with 150+ rescued dogs at the site and through the foster program. I found so much pleasure and enjoyment working as a rescue volunteer and wanted to expand my love and care of these most precious of animals. As a volunteer, I cleaned kennels, administered medications, walked and played with dogs, worked with basic training techniques and leash walking, and evaluated and monitored dog behaviors and personalities for proper socialization and integration with other dogs including aggressive and high anxiety dogs. I treat all animals as if they are my own. I love all fur babies big, small, young, and old. I am available at any time and since I am retired, I am able to provide drop-in services, walks, and overnight care (for socialized and house trained dogs who are current on all shots and flea/tick preventives), including medication administration and care for aggressive and high-anxiety dogs. I have no problems with cleaning up accidents and will ensure that your home stays clean of messes. I am also a firm believer in sending pictures while you are away so you can be comforted that your dog (or cat) is receiving nothing but the upmost care and love while you are away. No requested service is to great or small! I would welcome the opportunity to help you with care needs for your fur babies! Since I am retired, I am available at any time for drop-ins, walks, and overnight boarding (socialized and house trained only). I am also able to work around flexible and changing schedules. I live in a house with a large fully fenced backyard and have a doggy door which allows the dogs to move freely in and out of the house as they desire.

“Absolutely amazing!! Definitely going to be using her again in the future.”

“Jamie went above and beyond as Biscuit's sitter! It was evident that Jamie genuinely cared for Biscuit, providing a personal touch that made me feel at ease. I wholeheartedly recommend Jamie for their exceptional care and affection for furry friends.”

“I was extremely nervous leaving my Pebbles with a stranger, but my nerves were an unnecessary worry: Dustin was phenomenal. He knows and is very comfortable with dogs and his dogs and other pets (ducks and cats) were all friendly and welcoming to Pebbles and she overall had a great time. In fact she peacefully slept most of the ride home without needing her motion sickness meds. She was very happy with her time with Dustin. Any time that I am in the area I will only use him. Thank you, Dustin.”

About: I grew up in a house with never less than 4 dogs at a time, to me pets are not just some animal that lives in the house with you they are family! My love and passion for animals grew into a career as an zookeeper but I never lost my love for domestic pets! From dogs, cats, fish, to exotic pets such as guinea pigs and hedgehogs. I am happy to give your furry family members baths, light grooming, medicine and lots of love! I have also handled multiple types of breeds professionally and personally. Some of my favorite breeds to work with are but not limited to Pugs, Rottweiler, Bulldogs, Pitbulls, dachshund, Golden Retrievers, Labs, Aussies, and so many more! From young to older, to special needs. I will be there for your special family member! I’m currently the curator of live exhibits at Shreveport Aquarium. I work mornings (7-4), so if you need someone to check in during the evenings, I’m your gal! 🤗 Since I have a pug, I prefer to use my harness on my dog during walks. Since I have a fenced house, they have full range of the back yard.

About: I absolutely love dogs. I have always had dogs myself and growing up we did as well. When we first moved here for the military, I worked at an animal hospital and gained a lot of knowledge. I am the type of person that gets really worried to leave my dogs with anyone while we are gone, so I want to be that safe space for someone that may be experiencing the same. I am big on updating and sending pics/texts during my time with your pup. I work full time remotely at home. I have flexibility with my job and am able to stop by throughout the day or keep your dog with me while I work at home. We are usually home all weekend too. I would love nothing more than to have some extra company! I have a fenced in yard and two small dogs (a yorkie and a shih tzu) to keep your dog(s) company. I have a kennel if you need one, and my dogs sleep with us and are allowed on the couch and so is your pup! I have a queen bed in my office as well as a dog bed for when I am working at my desk. If I am doing drop ins at your home, I am open to whatever works best for you.

About: I have many years of experience dog sitting dogs of all ages, from senior dogs to young puppies. I’m very accommodating to high energy dogs who needs lots of activity and have experience with basic dog training from my days fostering dogs. I’ve fostered dogs with behavioral issues as well as separation anxiety, so I’m prepared for any situation. I adore all dogs and treat them like they’re my own (I have a 7 year-old German Shepherd). I will always leave your home clean and give your dogs lots of love! I’m currently working part time so I have very flexible availability and the ability to spend lots of time with your pets during the day! I’m an organized person and I like to keep things clean, so even though your pets will have lots of play time there won’t be any toys or messes left. I’m very respectful of a client’s space and treat it like I’d like someone to treat my home.
