About: Growing up on a farm, I have always had a passion for animals. My passion for dogs started with Cody when I was just 5 years old. He was a great mix breed dog who loved playing with frogs just as much as me. Throughout my life, I have cared for dogs of all sizes and various breeds. I have never not shared my home with a dog or 2 or 3. Currently, 2 Great Pyrenees and a dirt road dog fill my bed. I am also a stay at home mom to 4 beautiful children. This allows my schedule to be very flexible. I love working with dogs and would like to get back into this field. During high school, I volunteered and fostered for a local animal shelter. During college and 2 years after, I worked as a vet tech and dog groomer. My kids are 7 years old and younger therefore a flexible job that I can set my own hours is best to accommodate my family.

About: I've loved animals my whole life. I've raised puppies and cared for senior dogs and everything in-between. I enjoy volunteering as a pet transporter for animal rescues. I own my own cleaning business. So pet sitting fits into my schedule perfectly. Some homes I clean and pet sit for as well. I love what I do. I have 5 senior cats so I prefer to care for pets in their own homes. I'm always working in different towns so this works best for me. I am trustworthy and have references.

About: I am experienced and caring pet sitter with a background in animal shelter volunteering and adoption support. Comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and personalities, I take pride in keeping pets calm, cared for, and comfortable. I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent attention, timely feedings, potty breaks, and quality time with every pet. For the comfort of my cats, I’m unable to offer boarding in my home. I’m always happy to come to you instead and provide reliable, flexible care so your dog can stay relaxed in their own environment.

About: I would humbly refrain from making the statement that I am better than my counterparts, as that is not for me to judge. I will say that I am an incredibly caring and empathetic individual, and that translates well to how I operate animals as well as people. I grew up with dogs and cats inside of my home, and I was always very attentive to them in terms of playing, petting, feeding, and making them feel cared for. My experience as a sitter only spans about a year altogether, but as a mother of human children, I understand the responsibility that comes with monitoring and caring for any member of someone else’s family. Animals are never excluded in that💙 I have two children, one of which is in daycare and the other in grade school. During the summer months, my availability would be from 7AM to 5PM, as I’d have to pick my youngest up from daycare by 5:30PM. From August to May, my availability would be 7:30AM - 5PM, as this would grant me time to drop my oldest off to school before beginning a day’s work. At the moment, I can only offer care in the home of clients, as my landlord does not allow pets to be present on the premises. Having said this, I am flexible in the number of services I am willing to offer in the home of clients. I want each individual to feel confident in the care their pet is receiving while they are away. I will do what I can to ensure this is the case 💙

About: I’ve had pets as long as I can remember. My family has rescued, adopted, and bought animals of all kinds. We have chickens, ducks, and bunnies. I’ve raised my current dog(goldendoodle) from a seven week puppy, and I’m also currently helping raise a orphaned kitten. I have experience with dogs with disability’s and injuries as well. My shih tzu(family dog) went through a hard journey before us finding him. When we rescued him, he was injured and needed a delicate hand. I nurtured him back to health, and he is doing better than ever now living his best life in the country. I currently only work a part time job that’s under 10 hours a week, so I’ll have plenty of time to spoil and spend time with your furbabies when you are away😊 I can assure you that your furbaby will be as safe as possible whenever he or she is under my care. I have no problem if they need extra attention, extra instructions to care for them, etc. Whatever they need, we will work something out to make sure they are as safe and happy as possible.

About: I have experience working in multiple veterinary clinics, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal health and behavior than the average sitter. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies and senior pets who may need extra patience or special attention. I’ve also been pet sitting and boarding for over three years, so I’m used to keeping pets comfortable, sticking to routines, and making them feel safe while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel loved and stress-free. I recently moved to Lafayette from Pineville, I’m looking for new clients. I am available any day of the week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for so they get regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I make sure they stay on their normal routine so they feel comfortable and stress-free while their owners are away. I can provide your pet with safety and a lovable environment while in my care. Their physical and mental needs will be met to my best ability.

About: Hi, my name is Abby Blanchard and I am currently a dog groomer in Scott, La and have experience at a grooming and boarding facility in Opelousas, La where I would care for the dogs such as bathing, grooming, nail care, feeding, giving water, giving medications, potty breaks, and love on them with play time throughout the day. Animals have always been my passion! I have always had dogs my whole life and also have experience with cats, birds, hamsters, chinchillas, and fish!

I also send lots of pictures and updates to you so you can feel at ease while your baby is in my care!

About: I’ve taken care cats, dogs, and birds since I’ve been about 3 years old. I am currently a vet technician and I have 2 dogs and fours cats. They all get along together. I have a 60lbs husky and a 8lbs chiweenie who get along great and loves cats. I do offer nail trims and baths as well. I am very good at nail trims. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I have worked in professional places that do both animal care and boarding. I know the signs to look out for if needed. I have been medicating dogs and cats for the past three years. If any emergency was to rise then I know exactly where both emergency clinics are. I know that you’ll get the best care for your baby and that you’ll get updates daily from them. I’ll let you know how they are doing everyday, you’ll get a picture of them so you’ll be able to see for yourself that they’re having a blast. I work Monday- Friday 8-5. I get a lunch break from 12-1, and go home to let my dogs out to potty and get a little exercise before heading back to work for 1:30. I get off at 5 and go home and take care of my pets. I feed them all and of course let them out to go potty and get some exercise. I am off on the weekends, and I stay at home so it wouldn’t no problem to have a few fur babies over. I don’t have a new fence quite yet but I do walk the dogs frequently and let them play together inside and outside ,I have two dogs, two husky mixes who loves to play with other doggie. They both do get along with cats as I have 4 and my fourth one and my husky are absolutely the best of friends. I can go to a home if need be. I am vet technician. So I am well equipped to handle any kind of emergency situation. If your baby needs daily medications I know all the ways to give it safely. I am very good with nervous babies. I make sure that any pet that I watch does have their vaccines. If a Pet doesn’t have their vaccines then I will not watch them with other dogs. It would have to be in their home instead. I want to make sure everyone is safe. I do offer baths, and nail trims as well. I also offer a bit of grooming. Nothing professional but I can do simple trims, etc.
