Life is better with a furry friend
Pet care experience
I'm an all-around animal lover with 20+ years of animal ownership and caretaking experience. My friends and family know me to be a reliable and enthusiastic pet-sitter, committed to making sure pets aren't just taken care of but well-loved and entertained while they are away.
Reviews
Lou is so incredible with Winston and very accommodating. Highly recommend her
Archer had a lovely time with Lou! He was super happy and I loved receiving the photos.
Lou is by far the best dog Walker , she is a great communicator , very attentive to details & very caring . My dog loves her
Lou was incredible with 150lb Saint Bernard Ardie! This was the first time we left our doggo all day since covid, so we were nervous but she did a meet and greet before hand which was awesome. She was so wonderful, took him for 2 walks a day and made sure he got his breakfast and lunch! Plus posted great pics and detailed info. Seriously thanks so much Lou! Can’t wait to make it a more regular occurrence!
About Lou D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My top priority is the safety of your pet and those around us while we are together. In your home, I will follow all established rules and etiquette (including but not limited to crating, off-limits areas, etc.). While we are out on walks, I ensure dogs are always leashed when they are supposed to be and only go to dog parks with owner approval and knowledge.
Information Lou D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any special needs or behaviours that I should be aware of with your pup. For example, my old pup was great at meeting dogs off-leash but didn't love on-leash encounters so we would cross the street when walking on-leash but spend some time at the dog park enjoying endless games of fetch!
A typical day
I love being outdoors with dogs of all shapes and sizes! If your dog is a fan of fetch, we can find a great off-leash park to play. If your dog prefers their own space and a leisurely pace, we can find a calm river to walk by. I will always ask what your dog prefers and adjust our walks accordingly.

Lou can watch in your home
Availability
I work as a freelance writer, so have plenty of time during the day to look after your pet! I have a dog of my own (Chephren) who loves all dog friends and would gladly join me on walks, but has no problem staying home if that's best for your pup. I love cats, and while I have two of my own at home they definitely aren't travelers so will just enjoy sniffing your feline friend once I return from my fun-filled visit!
