About: I am compassionate for every animal's health and happiness. Skilled in medical administration to young and senior pets. I treat every pet like my own. I have a part time job so I am able to visit once to twice a day to care for any pet on a work day. I am freely available on non-working days. I play with them using their toys, feed them on their normal schedule, provide affection, keep their area clean on a daily basis, and maintain their physical fitness with plenty of walking activities.
“We are so very thankful for Lauren! Our pups absolutely loved her and she went above and beyond while dropping in on our pups. We are relieved to know we can count on her in the future. Thank you, Lauren!”
“Melissa was extremely helpful this past week when I had to go on a last minute trip. She was happy to squeeze in drop ins with my cat in the mornings, and gave details and pics of each visit. Cat was well fed and the apartment was clean - couldn’t have asked for anything more! :)”
About: I have experience caring for small dogs and cats. I currently have one small dog that is my “baby”. I grew up with cats but do not currently have any. I have a full time day job but I get of mid afternoon and weekends. I take daily walks (weather permitting) and stay home most weekends. We like to sit outside or cuddle on the couch. I am a single dog mom to to Remi. He is a 5 pound chiweenie with a very mild temper and rarely ever barks. He’s great with other animals and enjoys being lazy. I live in Leesville city limits, but in a quiet neighborhood that is great for leash walking. I would love to meeting you and your fur babies! I work for a school district so I am off through the summer and holidays. While in school, I leave home around 7AM and return around 4PM. I have a fenced in backyard and one small dog inside. My dog stays in laundry room/entry area during the day and sleeps with me at night. I have a camera in the area where he stays to check on him during the day. Inside kennel is also an option.
“Shelbi was the absolute best! I had a last minute booking and she went out of her way to make sure my cats were taken care of and loved on! Super sweet and a great communicator. 100 will book again for future travel plans! Thanks so much Shelbi!!”
About: Spacious house to play in. I have 3 dogs, a Great Dane and 2 German shepherd mix, all very friendly. I would love to accommodate your pups needs. I am a SAHM and I am home all day, I would love to give your fur babies all the love while you’re out and about. Potty breaks are every 2-4 hours unless you have different time frames. We will always work and respect your boundaries and rules. :) I no longer have a yard for the pups but I can guarantee that they will get all the attention and exercise possible. I promise to gain your trust, and love your babies while you’re out of town.
About: I’m a very reliable person to trust with your animals. I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child and have owned my own animals for 8 years now. I have taken care of both cats and dogs since they were kittens/puppies. I can help your animals in any stage of life. I currently working as a teacher so I am completely available this summer. I am looking to keep busy and help out in the community. I always make sure to keep an eye on the animals I watch. During walks I like to read the animals body language to make sure they feel happy and save. I also always am aware of my surroundings so if you dog doesn’t like other dogs then I’ll make sure to avoid other around.
