“Olivia has done multiple drop in visits for me and my dogs while we are in town for hurricane relief work. We currently stay in a hotel about an hour away from work and work from the early morning till evening time. Olivia’s drop in visits has given us peace of mind knowing our dogs get to go potty, get a drink of water, and have a treat when she gets there in the middle of the day. We are so thankful we found a sitter that has been understanding, responsive, and flexible throughout the whole process. We are just sad we will be moving on to a different city soon and will have to find a different sitter. Thank you Olivia for all you have done for us!”


“Katie has been amazing with my pups! She’s watched them a couple times and is consistently communicative and trustful. I can tell she treats my fur babies perfectly and they enjoy being watched by her. She puts me at ease whenever I leave. Thank you thank you for being awesome.”


“Kim was great! My girls were happy and well taken care of. When my little one wouldn’t eat, Kim even fed her by hand. 5 stars! Will call again next time we leave town!”


About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I absolutely cherish my dog and my cat that I have right now. I treat all animals with love and kindness. I truly believe animals and their unconditional love to us is a gift to our lives. I am a stay at home mom so my availability is very flexible. I am open to both set schedules or one time care needed. I have a fenced in yard. I have a neutered, male dog who gets along well with other dogs. If you have a natural male dog that has an alpha state of mind, please let me know before hand. Your pet will be taken care of and loved just as you would when they are in my care.

About: Not just a sitter- family, I’ve trained my golden retriever myself (she’s the best🥹 my child), I have a passion for animals. I wanted to be a vet for the longest time but can’t deal with having to put an animal down :(. My family has 5 dogs. 1 being my 3 year old golden retriever. I don’t just spoil the dogs I LIVE for them!!! Your puppies new BFF I’m currently a pre med student at university Louisiana at Lafayette and study a whole bunch but beings that I’m in such a hard major I don’t have time to work a full time job so I love animals and when I’m not at school I would love a fun side job to take the stress away As far as my own dog she goes to the groomers once a month to look her absolute best :), little spa day if you will… , I also make sure she is stocked up on toys, and we go on a 2 mile run together everyday, where she gets a treat after! We work on her trainings to learn more tricks aswell. Safe to say she gets better treatment than me 😭 I spoil her so so much this girl is my EVERYTHING. She loves long car rides with the windows down and as much as she sheds and her hair gets everywhere, it’s there first time living too and i believe they should experience the most love that we can offer :) .

“Jenna seemed to do a wonderful job walking Darcy for us! It was great to get the comments about her and to see the maps of where they walked. Jenna told us that Darcy adjusted to us being gone after a couple of days. She seems to have enjoyed being in her own home instead of boarding. We appreciate the great care Jenna gave Darcy. She obviously loves dogs and is very caring. We would certainly ask for her again by name.”


About: I have provided foster care and rescued numerous dogs, accumulating extensive experience with various breeds, including giant breeds, and a wide range of temperaments. My expertise includes administering medication, caring for heartworm-positive pups, managing wound care, and tending to senior dogs. During their stay, pups have the freedom to stay indoors and sleep according to their accustomed routines at home. Winston, my resident dog, is well-acquainted with other dogs and gets along seamlessly, creating a harmonious environment. Communication is a priority for me, and I welcome frequent texts. I enjoy sharing updates through pictures and videos to keep you connected with your furry companions during their time with me. During my visits to your home, I prioritize maintaining your dog's familiar routines. They can stay in the comfort of their own environment, sleeping according to their accustomed patterns. I understand the importance of consistency for dogs, and my goal is to create a stress-free and comfortable experience for them in their own home. I'm currently working part-time, which gives me lots of extra time to devote to taking care of your pets! This flexible schedule allows me to provide the attention, care, and companionship that your beloved pets deserve. I understand the importance of their well-being and am committed to ensuring a comfortable and nurturing environment in your absence. Rest assured, your pets will receive the dedicated care and affection they need, creating a positive and enjoyable experience for them. I've noticed that your dogs experience a heightened sense of comfort when their familiar routines are maintained. I make it a priority to uphold these routines, aiming to create a cozy environment that ensures their well-being during the absence of their beloved humans.

“Mackenzie was amazing! She gave our pups some extra love and truly treated them like they were her own. She is very kind and makes an effort to go above and beyond! We were very grateful for her to watch our doggos. Will definitely book her again!!!”


“We LOVE Isabelle so so much! She is so thoughtful and our dogs enjoy her every time she watches them! She is one of the people you want to rate 1/5 just so you can keep her for yourself! HOWEVER, she is definitely a 10/5!!! We love her very much and so thankful we have someone who we trust to go into our home to watch our dogs while we are away♥️”

About: I have been dog sitting for 3 years and have had pups my whole life. I treat everyones fur babies as my own and will take wonderful care of your pets! I currently have a part-time job Monday, Wednesday and Fridays until 3 PM so I have plenty of time to love on the pets and give them attention. I will treat others dogs as my own, and have a miniature dachshund for your babies to play with in a fenced in backyard. I can follow directions and work with your needs for your dogs.

About: I’ve had pets since I was little and have cared for many over the years. I absolutely love all animals and have so much fun spending time with them. I currently don’t have any pets, so I have plenty of spare time to walk, play, and give your fur babies all the love and care they need! I am currently working part-time, usually in the mornings, but it depends on the week! I have plenty of time to hang out with your pet, whether it’s for walks, playtime, or simply spending time together. My flexible schedule allows me to give your pet the care they need throughout the day. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I make sure to keep the environment safe and secure, ensuring there are no hazards around. I respect your pet’s routine, providing regular meals, walks, and playtime, while keeping them comfortable in their own space.

About: I have cared for animals my entire life, including a Labrador, several chihuahuas, and mixed breed cats. I have also volunteered at several animal shelters, working with dogs and cats of various sizes. I am fearless when it comes to cleaning up bathroom breaks and other various incidents. I love playing with animals and making sure that they get their daily dose of exercise, because it is just as important for them as it is for humans. I take great pleasure in helping those that are completely helpless without the kindness of people. I am an activist in the animal community, working with shelters to help them spread awareness about adoption and helping pets find their forever home. I have just moved to a new city, and freelance jobs like this are exactly what help me keep dinner on the table. Right now, I have more time than I know what to do with. I feed my own twice a day, and I have three with very different diets, and I clean out their litter boxes daily. Of course, pet care includes play time, which they receive daily through playing with teaser toys and doing tricks for treats--what few tricks they would learn! I can provide any and all specialized care because each animal is an individual and requires something different to live a healthy, happy life. I can take dogs on walks as often as needed and play with them to help release pent-up energy. I am meticulous about logging when I do what for each pet I am pet-sitting, and I am more than willing to share such a log with the owner if they would like.

Rachel W.
“I have had Rachel pet-sitting for me since she was ten years old. I frequently am away for business trips and she is always reliably available whenever I need her to be. I have one older cat who requires insulin shots, which she can administer herself after I showed her once. She was loved by my pets as soon as they met her and I have yet to find a pet that did not like her.”
