Dog Walkers in Minden, LA

About: What sets me apart from other animal sitters is my deep understanding of pets at every life stage from playful puppies to sweet senior animals and my calm, patient approach to care. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments and sizes, and I tailor my care to meet each animal’s unique needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around the animals in my care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m reliable and consistent. I keep a flexible calendar to accommodate everything from quick drop-ins to longer stays, and I always make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and comfort they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect I give the pets. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding and walk routines to any house rules like crating, restricted areas, or medication needs. I always keep the environment clean, calm, and safe locking doors, checking gates, and making sure pets are never left unattended in risky situations.

About: Hi, I have dog sit before and personal own a dog myself. Also, I own a cat as well. I have dog sit, cat sit, bath both animals and meet what i can for their needs I am a nursing student out on break right with a job where i make my own schedule so I can fit your needs if needed:) I do have a fence backyard but as well as I keep treats and wet food for both cats and dogs at my house. If something is needed you can let me know and we can figure something out together 😁

About: I’ve had pets of my own for the last ten years, and I’ve also spent years pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors , so I know how much trust it takes to leave your furry loved ones in someone else’s care. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family, with the same love, attention, and consistency I give my own. Whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy, a senior pet who needs a gentler touch, or a shy cat who just needs a calm companion, I take time to learn each animal’s unique personality and routine. I’m prone to sending daily photo updates so you always know how your pet is doing. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and commitment to making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. From long walks to cozy cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet feels right at home while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins throughout the work week, and I’m home and fully available on weekends for drop-ins, walks, or extended care. I make it a priority to give each pet quality time, attention, and care — whether that’s a quick walk, playtime, or some extra cuddles before bedtime. Your pet’s comfort and routine always come first! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for them in your home or stopping by for check-ins, I make sure they’re in a calm, familiar environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I do my best to follow your pet’s normal routine — from feeding schedules to walk times — and pay close attention to any special instructions you provide. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes for security, and I take extra care with pets who are shy, curious, or still learning boundaries. You can count on me to treat your home with the same respect and care I give your pet. I’ll keep things tidy, provide photo updates, and make sure your furry friend feels loved and cared for while you’re away.

About: I've had labs, mutts, cats, and even a tarantula in my years of owning pets! I can bathe if they get dirty, and have notoriously been called a cat whisperer by my friends. There's very little that could happen to gross me out or put me off from a pet. To me your pet is a loved family member and I treat them with the respect they deserve! I currently am applying to go back to school so I will need flexibility until i get my set schedule! The amount of time I have is open and can be easily worked around whatever schedules you need! I'm very good about messaging back in a timely manner and marking on calendars ahead of time when I would be unavailable. The only real requirement is if I stay overnight I have to run home at least once a day to feed and care for my own pets! First and foremost I do require meeting a pet before any sitting/checking and walking take place. As a stranger to your pets it’s best they see me when you are present first to make both them and myself more comfortable. I believe in being upfront with people in every way so I also must insist on being told if there are cameras or alarms on the property! No one likes to be jumpscared with those! Also if you have people who come by or have access to the property let me know, so I can let them in. (pest control, cleaning service, etc)I like having a list of what pets need and their preferences; as well as a good vet's number and location on file. I read instructions thoroughly and follow them to a T! I don't cave to begging if they aren't allowed! If provided I will follow training guidelines that you've set to the best of my ability. (for example you're working on no barking, I will also discourage barking!) I unfortunately must say as well any dog bigger than an average labrador(i.e. 70ish pounds) must be at least heel trained if I am to walk them safely; otherwise I will exercise them thoroughly outside instead. I am tiny, and large dogs don’t mesh well with that when untrained! So it's for the best! Please let me know ahead of time what level of communication you’d prefer when away, whether daily or only emergencies! I can take nice photos too, and will only put them on the profile with express permission. I also would prefer but am not required to have a list of their preferred schedule and feeding amounts. Pets are most comfortable when they can stick to a routine. Especially since a stranger in the house is already new! And last but not least if your pet has any quirks or history I’d like to be informed! For example an elderly dog that is kinda grumpy. Or hot spots, sensitive skin, lumps, allergies, bite history, etc.

About: I have taken care of my families pets, and my neighbors pets since I was 13 years old. Everyone and my neighborhood trusted me to go and feed their fur babies and if need to be, take them for a walk. I am currently working part time, as a certified nursing assistant. So I have very flexible hours and I’m willing to work with your schedule. If your fur baby will be boarding with me, I have one loving dog they can play with and/or I have two very playful cats and a variety of space where they can play.

“Emily is wonderful! She kept me updated on my pups health & wellness, I felt at ease on my trip knowing I had someone who genuinely cared for my dog in my absence. I would 100% book with Emily again! I HIGHLY recommend!! Thank you Emily!!”

About: I've had dogs and cats my entire life. I am a dog person, but I also like cats. I'm not an expert, but I have an interest in dog psychology, training and body language. I feel that most people forget that we are also mammals and instinctual beings. Just like children, you have to meet animals on their level as well, respectively. Someday I'd like to raise a variety of animals on a homestead of my own. I work for myself part-time cleaning houses, so I always get to make my own schedule. My calendar is by no means full, but I do have regular clients at different intervals. So, lots of free time to check in on your fur baby and drop off a little love while I'm at it. According to the client's wishes. It is their home and their rules. I live side by side with my dog. He follows my every step, always in the way, of course. Life is never boring with him though, he's even entertaining while he sleeps. 🐶(Snores, barks, whimpers, runs)

“Jennifer went above and beyond while watching our dog, Sammy! She sent a ton of pictures and updates while we were gone. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”

I’m currently in law school so I will have plenty of time between classes, after classes or on the weekends. My schedule can be flexible. I live in a two bedroom apartment by myself so the other room can be used to take care of your fur babies. It depends.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since a little toddler my family has always been big on having our little farm of pets and I wouldn’t ask for it any other way. Pet care fits into my daily routine because after a long day at work or in general looking forward to seeing those cute smiling faces will always make the day so much better. Caring for pets in my home consists of having big back yards, cozy areas for them inside and making sure treats and food bowls are full all the time for them to nibble on.
