Hello! I'm Lou, I've been raising dogs since I was little. My aunt used to breed Golden Retrievers and Papillions as well as pup-sit, and run a doggy summer camp where I used to help teach children how to take care of dogs. I've been grooming and training AKC registered champions basically since I could walk. I have a deep love for dogs and if I wasn't renting a house I'd probably have two or three big pups of my own. No dog is too big or too small, I literally love them all. In my spare time I used to volunteer at shelters, but I thought this might be a good opportunity to bring in some extra cash while getting to play and walk some good dogs. As a Bonus, I'm also an artist and a photographer, if you ever wanted professional photos of your pup, or a portrait drawn of them, I'm the person you need!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for any and all animals as if they were my own. I've been working with dogs since before I could walk, and I've even volunteered at a bunch of shelters and local farms.

Lou stayed at our home and cared for 4 dogs (one with special needs), 7 chickens, and 2 cats. We received daily updates and photos. Lou was amazing, thoughtful, communicative, and flexible. When our flight was canceled and we were delayed by a day, Lou was reassuring and helpful.

Upon meeting Lou we immediately liked their vibe and that sentiment continued throughout their dog-sit with our two senior chihuahuas. We are nervous pet parents and want the best for our boys. Lou sent us great pictures, lovely updates and we felt secure while traveling abroad with Lou at the helm. Also, our apartment was kept immaculate and was lovely to come home to. Thank you so much Lou! We are so appreciative of your peaceful and caring ways.

over 101 lbs
Lou can host up to 1 pet per night
There really isn't any kind of dog I wouldn't want to puppy-sit. But I especially adore big dogs. Rottweilers are my favorite breed, not that any other pups aren't wonderful.
