About: I have had many animals in my lifetime, starting from very young! I have had the honor of taking care of friends and family’s dogs/kitties for many years as well as having my own. I have really grown to love sitting and consider it a true passion! I currently work part-time and am in school, but I still have quite a lot of time on my hands which I would love to spend with animals! I am very gentle with dogs and cats alike. I can easily play and get them to be pretty comfortable with me quickly! I have never trained a dog, however, one of my close relatives is a dog trainer and I have watched her closely over the years!

“We needed a sitter to stay with our dog Milo for 4 days while we were recently out of town. Heidi was very professional when we met for our meet and greet. She was great about communicating with us while we were out of town and our dog absolutely loved her. I cannot say enough good things about our experience using Heidi and would recommend using her in the future.”


“Lauren is an excellent house sitter. Chica and the cats were well cared for, and I had absolutely no worries while I was away. The house was also well cared for 😃 Thank you Lauren, we all hope you will sit for us again!”


“We highly recommend Joselyn! She did a fantastic job house-sitting our elderly Wheaten Terrier over a long weekend. She was very communicative, sent photo updates and gave him tons of great care and attention. We will definitely request Joselyn again for our future dog-sitting needs!!”


About: I’ve been taking care of dogs ever since I was a kid for my neighbors and friends. I’ve taken care of all sorts of dogs in different sizes and temperaments. I currently have a 7 year old 85 pound golden doodle that I trained myself as an ESA. I have been hired to house and pet sit, take dogs on walks and to parks, help in training, and consistently check up on them if needed. I love all sorts of animals and would be happy to help you and your pooch out! I moved to Louisiana in January of 2025! I’m currently at staying at home and taking care of my grandma. I would be available most days depending on the care that my grandmother needs and her appointments that I would need to get her to. I have experience with pets and making them feel comfortable around me in their own environment, even if it takes a while. I’m patient with high energy dogs and I like to spend time creating bonds through walks and playing. I love to chill with cats and give them some playtime with toys, especially the lazer pointers!

About: Hello, Furbaby Parents!!! I love and treat my furbabies like human babies...and, to me, they are. A baby is a baby. They need love, nourishment, direction, and laughter and that is what your baby will get while at our home. 🐈🐕😍 I try to only keep 1 dog at a time, in addition to our 2. I find it helps ease any new pup's anxiety if only 1 new personality is added at a time...to our melting pot of permanent characters. Lol I know that it is difficult to leave your pet with someone new but I can promise you that they will be loved, cared for and treated with the utmost respect. And they will not be kept in a kennel unless specified by you! Our home will be their new vacation spot. I hope they love to play with cats! 🐈 All rates are negotiable depending upon the situation or circumstance. I'm here to help!! I am currently taking time off to stay at home so I have plenty of time to care for your pet. I am available 7 days a week, anytime of day or night. I have a yard and 2 friendly pups to play with your baby. I also have kitties to keep your pup entertained. Nothing but excitement over here!

About: I have cared for animals my entire life, including a Labrador, several chihuahuas, and mixed breed cats. I have also volunteered at several animal shelters, working with dogs and cats of various sizes. I am fearless when it comes to cleaning up bathroom breaks and other various incidents. I love playing with animals and making sure that they get their daily dose of exercise, because it is just as important for them as it is for humans. I take great pleasure in helping those that are completely helpless without the kindness of people. I am an activist in the animal community, working with shelters to help them spread awareness about adoption and helping pets find their forever home. I have just moved to a new city, and freelance jobs like this are exactly what help me keep dinner on the table. Right now, I have more time than I know what to do with. I feed my own twice a day, and I have three with very different diets, and I clean out their litter boxes daily. Of course, pet care includes play time, which they receive daily through playing with teaser toys and doing tricks for treats--what few tricks they would learn! I can provide any and all specialized care because each animal is an individual and requires something different to live a healthy, happy life. I can take dogs on walks as often as needed and play with them to help release pent-up energy. I am meticulous about logging when I do what for each pet I am pet-sitting, and I am more than willing to share such a log with the owner if they would like.

I do work full time day shifts at a 24 hour Veterinary hospital 5 days a week with one evening shift on saturdays. Very open to coming let pups out on my lunch breaks. I do prefer pet sitting in your own home as I find it more comfortable for your babies. I am more than happy to send video and picture updates for every visit.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my experience working in veterinary medicine for over 10 years and my passion for animals. I love them!! I am currently working full time but can provide care on the weekends and days that I am off. I am also willing to provide care on some weekdays as well if close to where I work. I care for my pets in my home by treating them as if they are my children. My fur babies are super spoiled. I have a fenced in yard and provide them with super quality care constantly especially with me working in veterinary medicine I am always on alert for any problems.

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.

“Victoria was great with very anxious terrier mix. Normally my dog doesn’t trust but Victoria managed to earn her trust pretty quickly. I brought her to Victoria for a weekend and when I came to pick her up she was so clean and happy. I was pleasantly surprised that she was able to cut my dogs nails! I haven’t been able to bring my dog to a traditional boarders due to her anxiety, so this was an amazing alternative.”
