About: I have taken care of my own dogs since I was born! I love dogs and would do anything for the pets that I am in charge for. I am working full time right now from home! I never have to leave the house for work which is really great and can spend more time with the dogs I will spend as much time with your dog/dogs as I can! I will come over and play with your dogs in and outside or I will take them to the park.

About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’m genuine, patient, and pay close attention to every pet’s individual needs. Whether that’s a playful pup full of energy or a senior dog who just wants a calm, comfy space. I treat every animal like they’re mine and part of the family. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and truly present with your pet! I’m available Monday through Friday during reasonable daytime and early evening hours. I try to keep a consistent routine so your pet gets reliable care. I’m flexible with advance notice and happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule as much as possible. I offer care in clients’ homes only, since I believe most pets do best in their own space and routine. I’m available for drop-ins, dog walks, and in-home sitting. I’ll follow whatever your pet is used to whether that’s a specific feeding time, meds, or just getting out for a walk and some fresh air. I’m always respectful of your home and try to keep things as low-stress as possible for both you and your pet!

“Erica has babysat our cat Domino in our home several times now. Domino is a cat that we took several months to rescue earlier this year. Consequently, she is shy and a bit skittish around new people. She bonded with Erica almost immediately! Erica has two cats of her own, so she knows a lot about them and their finicky nature. Erica has a warm and caring nature that comes across in the way that she communicates with Domino. She calls Domino her niece! Erica is fastidious with Domino’s litter box and feeds her twice daily. She sends us regular posts and updates regarding Domino’s antics. Erica spends time with Domino and plays with her. We miss Domino when we are gone, but never worry that she will be too lonely without us. We feel secure when we are away. We trust Erica with having the keys to our home. We have the utmost confidence that Erica will take great care of our fur baby.”


About: ive been trusted in the past by my family members and my peers to take care of animals, especially dogs. i love taking care of them and i love to meet new personalities and different kinds of breeds! i’m currently working a part-time job but every day i’m taking care of my cat in my free time! feeding him, bathing him, dressing him up the whole works! i love taking care of him when i get home, it’s a stress reliever really. my home doesn’t really house dogs, mainly cats but i care for him by making sure he has things that keep him entertained and happy! i keep cat nip and things he loves to keep him happy.

About: I was the neighborhood baby/dog sitter for most of my teens and even now I do the occasional dog sitting for a week or so for family friends. I have taken care of dogs ranging from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I recently started fostering kittens and have a newfound love for those little guys too! I’ve owned bunnies and hamsters, watched a snake, taken care of a bird. You name it I’m sure I’ve had some sort of experience with it! I’d be so happy to take care of your critter too <3 I work from home! Rest assured your little buddy will get lots of attention in my care. If they have a more strict letting out schedule that’s absolutely no problem! I have a small mix dog, with two friendly cats. I work from home and can spend more time than the average person with your pet. I have a non fenced in yard, but am happy to take out on walks or on their leash in my yard.

“Sammi is very attentive. She listened to and followed through with the tasks requested, even when I had a tendency to change a few ideas from time to time. I definitely felt a lot more comfortable going on my trip with her watching my cats. There are also many other positives I can point out such as her having excellent communication, keeping up with updates, having exceptional people skills (which is still needed when dealing with pets) and truly making an effort to take care of my cats and ensure they and I were comfortable. I appreciated this greatly.”

I offer a safe and engaging environment with a spacious, fully fenced-in backyard for playtime and fresh air. I even have a cozy catio for feline guests who enjoy some sunshine and birdwatching! I know every furry friend is unique, so I’d love to schedule a meet-and-greet before booking to learn all about your pet’s personality, diet, potty routine, and any special needs they may have. My goal is to make them feel right at home while giving you peace of mind. Whether your pet needs snuggles, exercise, or just a calm and loving atmosphere, I’m here to provide it.

Because I’m home full time, I’m always available to give attention, meet needs as they come up, and provide a consistent, loving environment for both my own pets and any I’m caring for. Whether it’s sticking to a routine or adjusting to a new pet’s preferences, I’m already in the rhythm of giving animals the time, care, and affection they deserve.

I keep a calm, structured routine that includes feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and downtime, all tailored to each pet’s needs. If I’m caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their usual routine so they feel as safe and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, litter box cleaning, walks, or playtime—and always check in with updates and photos to keep you in the loop. No matter where the care takes place, I focus on creating a loving, low-stress experience where pets feel secure, seen, and genuinely cared for

About: Growing up, my love for pets has grown from the times I took care of my own to others rather it was for enjoyment or helping the ones I love. I owned pets from a wide variety, from frogs to fishes to dogs. My recent pet was an American Mixed Pit-bull Terrier, from here my love for Pit-bulls grown beautifully for their personalities and charismatic love. My care with cats began last year as got to get close to my families cat, "Catty". I have spent weeks of watching and caring for him with needs of food, litter, playing and confronting him when he missed his owner on their trips. In Conclusion, my love for pet care is unconditional as I jungle my personal life with the understanding giving a helping hand to people in need. I am currently a full time student at Xavier University Of Louisiana and working part time at Five Guys in Matteson. As a current student a Xavier, located in New Orleans, I take care of my studies and come home for my breaks. Additionally, as a Crew Member at Five Guys, I work 15- 20 hours a week on flexible schedule that perfect for being able to balance pet sitting and my personal life. Unfortunately, I don't care for pets in my home personally because of the pets that live here but I am open to walks and caring of pets in my potential clients home while providing a trustworthily and safe environment. All I ask is for the same respect and trust as well for a balance enjoyable and environment I can return to.

She named most of the animals by their actions. Her Dad got a puppy for us for Xmas & set her on the couch the puppy kept falling off, so she called him Flopsey. Laura got her own dog Herkie (Hercules) Because he believe he could do anything like a Huskey. (which he could't).Herkie did live to be nineteen yrs. old.

“Tori is an amazing person. I have known her personally for many years but she started taking care of my fur babies about two years ago. They love her. I have a very skittish dog that will not warm up to anyone and Tori can get him to go outside for her, snuggle with her, etc. She is very loving, LOVES animals and will make sure your babies are taken care of. I know my animals can cause messes (I have 4 of them) and I always come back to my house clean and no sign of any messes (which I know she is covering for them). :) I would highly recommend Tori to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She will take care of them as if they are her own.”

Alexi W.
“Hi! This is Chloe, sister and best friend of Alexi. She works as a full time nanny 10 hours 4 days a week and sometimes stays overnight when the parents are out of town. The kids absolutely adore her, I’ve met the kids a bunch Alexi sometimes brought them over to her house because the kids wanted to see all of her cats. They are so well mannered and so funny. She teaches the kids to be polite outspoken and respectful to everything and themselves. In my opinion it’s harder to “train” a child than a dog lol. Alexi and I grew up with dogs as me and my mother were both allergic to cats (still am but we suffer because they are such cuties, now we have 5). We grew up loving animals and still do sometimes we will spend hours talking about what dogs and cats we want as pets in the future. Mine and Alexis cousin Raven lost her house due to unfortunate circumstances and she went to Alexi to see if she can foster her animals. One of Ravens cats came to Alexi’s with a huge rash on her stomach, after a week of care at Alexis the rash is all gone and the cat is full of loving. Alexi always treats every animal as her own and has walked dogs and cats from time to time. Picking Alexi to take care of your pets would be the best thing you do for them!”
