“Samantha went above and beyond for our little bunny. I was nervous I would not be able to find anyone to take care of our bunny for a total of two weeks that my husband and I would be out of town for. Our bunny is a rescue and has had a history of trauma so she is very sensitive. Right before we left for our trip, our bunny had a little health scare. She fully recovered, but of course it made my husband and I uneasy leaving her for a while. I was worried we wouldn’t be able to find someone that could provide the gentle and attentive care that she would need. Samantha, however, was everything we needed. She communicated with me and was willing to make adjustments to our original care plan, in order to make sure that penny was getting extra supervision given her recent health scare. Samantha was willing to spend extra time with penny on Christmas Eve and Christmas. There were some days where she spent several hours with penny when I originally only booked her to spend 1 hour with her a day. She sent us consistent updates with pictures and helped us feel so at ease knowing our bunny was getting the proper care she needed. The really cool thing about Samantha, is that the amount of time and energy that she put into our bunny wasn’t out of obligation, but out of sincere enjoyment of spending time with our bunny. She would consistently express her own enjoyment of being with her. I cannot express how much that means to a pet owner- to see that the person who is taking care of your pet has a care and desire to be with them. I cannot recommend Samantha enough to anyone who needs their pet to be taken care of. She is kind, gentle, attentive, adaptable, and a great communicator. Thank you for everything, Samantha!”

“Callie was great! This is our second time using her and she does a great job. We don’t have to worry about if our pets are being taken care of with Callie! Highly recommend.”

“Alexis is phenomenal with my 3 pups. I’ve been working longer hours at work and she has been an absolute blessing in helping me care for them. She is kind and proven to be very trust worthy. Thank you Alexis for caring for mine as if they were yours!”

About: Effective 09/10/2025 I will be available in the SW Louisiana area for services! My name is Kloe, and I am a 27 year old RN who is deciding to pursue her dream of working with and helping animals full time! I am enrolled in online courses for Veterinary Nursing through Purdue University. I am also a registered nurse with a Bachelor’s degree from Lamar University in Beaumont, and I hope to continue working part time in this role. I have loved and owned animals all my life. I routinely picked up strays starting as young as 10. I have four dogs of my own at the moment, but I have had as many as 10 in my home at a time! I have a long history of fostering dogs as well as dog sitting, both in the Houston area as a Rover sitter and privately in the smaller community of Jasper, TX. I have volunteered with multiple shelters and rescues since high school, and I have experience with a wide range of behaviors, personalities, and breeds. I have functional/basic bathing and grooming skills, such as nail trimming; I’m willing to add these services on for any new booking - whether it’s just check ins/walks or doggy daycare/boarding. Please reach out to me with any questions, even if you’re only lightly considering a new human friend for your dog! I am quite flexible, and I am looking forward to getting to know new families and pups in the area! At this time, I’m focusing on school and devoting myself to dog walking, grooming, training, and general care. I will be available most week days for walks, check ins, and anything else I can provide. I will be more selective with boarding so I can make sure your pets get the best care possible! Please reach out for any scheduling concerns and I would be happy to accommodate. I am a very safety oriented person with my own animals and especially with others’ animals. I am attentive to my pets’ needs so that I can identify potential problems early on and intervene. I enforce good leash manners at all times and overall encourage polite, calm behavior from my animals. I love to play a good round of fetch or tug-of-war and have no problem work with just about any behavior or play style.
“She is very personable,loved our dogs and took great care of them. Our dogs have special needs and she took great care to meet each one of them every time she came to our home. I highly recommend her and will look forward to getting her to care for our doggies in the future.😊”

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.
