5. Ryleigh M.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and I recently moved half across the country without my sweet 4 year old pup. I would love to give my love to someone else’s best friend when they need help! I love going on walks, playing, and giving good belly rubs. I’m a grad student who usually studies from home, so I have time in my day to care for pets, take them on walks, feed them, or provide company for a few hours. More time available on weekends and overnights. I live in a very safe apartment complex. There is a fenced in dog run area if having a dog at my own home. I do not currently have pets of my own living with me. In clients homes, I will treat their places with respect and care and follow their rules for their pets.

8. Maria C.
About: I've had many pets growing up. Ive taken care of my friends cat for 6 months, coming by and providing food and play time. I currently care for my 14yr cat and I love animals of all shapes and sizes. I do have a full time job. I'm willing to come by during my lunch break or after work 2 or 3 times a week for some TLC. I ensure that animals stick to their usual route, have treats to stay near me, and make sure they have plenty of food and water. Portions vary per owner and so do the limitations of treats. You tell me the quantity and I will stick to it. Everything you do to get your fur baby ready for a walk, I will do too.

10. Jessica J.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, we currently have 4, I’ve helped train them, I love all breeds, but I also can ignore the puppy eyes when they need correcting. I’m currently unemployed so I have all the time to fit the needs of any animal, baby or senior. I do go home every morning when I sit to feed my ferret. We have 4 dogs, however one doesn’t get along with new animals, so I will only be available to house sit. I’ve dog-sat for many family friends, and am good about keeping to the pet’s schedule.


11. Bianca M.
“I got to know Bianca when we worked together at Bienville Animal Medical Center. She was always such a sweetheart and very hardworking!

She will take as great care for other's pets as she does her own.”
