Danielle was attentive, kind and patient with my pups. I have an elderly dog and a rescue who is very skittish. Danielle took the time to make sure they were each comfortable and made sure to keep me updated while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking again!

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: I've been in love with animals all my life. They were deep childhood friends and I feel a special bond with them. I grew up on a hobby farm and in 4-H. I am now a retired RN, and I'm enjoying being surrounded by animals again. I have taken care of domesticated cats, dogs, rabbits, hamsters and gerbils, guinea pigs, and birds. Any animal needing help or love grabs my heart. It is my goal to give this love to your cherished companion when you are gone. I also know how hard it can be for you to be separated from your pet, and am very conscientious about sending updates, pictures/videos and communicating anything else that needs to be communicated. I am working part time, and have afternoons, evenings and weekends available. I am hoping to build up a regular client base and have more time available soon. I live in a small home so I prefer to take care of your loved ones in your home. I am able to overnight: house-sitting, cleaning, and pet-sitting. I have plenty of time for walks, check-ins, and play-time on the days I am working, and welcome all-day care in your home on my time off. I am situationally aware and keep an eye on the environment at all times when walking your pup and playing, as well as on any potential escape routes or hazardous items if eaten or drunk. I am very respectful of your pet's space and routine and take my time to sense in to what will make them feel the most loved, the safest, and the most comfortable while you are gone. I am a reliable communicator regarding anything with your home or your pet that would require your attention.

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! Since I am now a dog groomer, I also offer bathing and grooming services while your pup gets pampered here in the comfort of my own home! If you choose me to care for your babies, I will treat them as if they were my own. I can handle anything from puppies or kittens to geriatric dogs or cats and anything in between. Please read my reviews and consider me to care for your babies! This job is definitely one of my favorite jobs I’ve ever had! I’m currently a dog groomer during the week and with permission love to take my clients to work with me for daycare and socialization. (They are not kenneled!) On weekends I am totally free to give them all the one-on-one attention! I am very trustworthy if you need me to go into your home for any service as well as taking them into my own home. I would prefer a meet and greet with parents and pets before we get started. I will follow any instructions you have to make you feel safe with me as their caregiver! I also send lots of pictures and updates to you so you can feel at ease while your baby is in my care!

About: Hi! My name is Shayna Malonson, and I’ve always had a deep love for animals—especially dogs. I grew up with dogs my entire life, and now as an adult with my own home, I’m lucky to have two of my own: Ally (4 years old) and King (2 years old). They are a huge part of my daily life and have taught me so much about responsible, loving care. I personally bathe my dogs, brush their teeth, and handle their basic grooming after learning how to properly care for them myself. Through experience—especially managing my older dog’s dry skin—I’ve learned a lot about different dog food brands, skin-care products, and overall dog wellness. This has helped me become very attentive to each dog’s individual needs. In my free time, I enjoy playing fetch, going on simple walks, and giving my dogs plenty of love and attention. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs as if they were my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m home often and able to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day. My schedule allows me to plan feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and rest periods without rushing. I build my day around the dogs in my care, making sure they receive regular supervision, exercise, and companionship. Whether it’s morning and evening routines, midday check-ins, or overnight care, I’m flexible and dependable. I enjoy keeping pets on a steady schedule so they feel comfortable and secure I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for every pet in my care. In my home, dogs are treated like family and are always supervised. I make sure the space is clean, pet-safe, and free from hazards, with plenty of room for rest, play, and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I’m experienced with basic grooming care such as bathing and brushing, and I pay close attention to skin sensitivity, diet needs, and overall well-being. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. I ensure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure, and I never leave pets unattended outside. Trust and communication are very important to me. I provide updates, photos, and messages so owners feel confident and at ease while their pets are in my care. My goal is always to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved.

Abby did a great job taking care of my girl Lucy and house sitting for me. I was a little worried as I had never used a stranger as a sitter before, but Abby was a good communicator and she made my anxious girl feel comfortable! No complaints here - will definitely use Abby again for my next trip!

About: Hi! I’m a passionate pet lover with over 2 years of hands-on experience working at a busy doggy daycare. During that time, I cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities from high-energy pups to shy seniors who just needed a little extra patience. I’m experienced in group play supervision, feeding routines, basic training reinforcement, and recognizing dog behavior to keep every pup safe and happy. I treat every dog like they’re my own and focus on creating a calm, fun, and loving environment while you’re away. Whether your dog needs playtime, cuddles, or structured care, you can count on me to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate service. Your pet’s comfort and safety will always be my top priority! Scheduling-wise, I currently work part-time as a barista and typically have short 6-hour shifts, so I’m never away for too long. This allows me to stay flexible and attentive when caring for pets. I’m great at planning around my schedule to make sure your pet gets consistent care, attention, and plenty of love while you’re away. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood that’s perfect for pet care. The area has low traffic, peaceful surroundings, and plenty of space for calm walks and fresh air. It’s a very pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel relaxed and comfortable, whether they enjoy lounging indoors or going on slow, stress-free strolls outside. The calm atmosphere makes it ideal for pets who thrive in a cozy, low-noise setting.
