About: I am a licensed veterinary technician with 7 years of professional experience. Working with animals is my passion and I always strive to provide the best care. I have plenty of experience with animals of all ages, shapes, and sizes. I am highly educated in animal medicine so you can feel at ease if your pet has any medical issues/daily medications. Other than animal medicine, I have also had years of experience in boarding care. I am so passionate about what I do and I love working with animals everyday. I understand how hard it is trying to find the best place/person to take care of your baby while you are away and I hope I can assure you they will be safe with me. Your pet(s) will be with a licensed professional with plenty of experience so you can enjoy your time away worry free! While you unwind on vacation, your pup will be spoiled with belly rubs, tail wags, and plenty of treats—it’s a getaway for them too! I am a full-time licensed veterinary technician working with animals 4-5 days out the week at a small animal hospital. I personally like it when my dogs are staying with someone who can be with them most hours of the day, so I chose my off days to do Rover. Fridays-Sundays are the days where your pet(s) will get my undivided attention. I am at my home those days so your pet(s) can be in a cage-free environment. They are welcome to get up on the comfy couch, go play in my fenced backyard, and enjoy a safe, clean environment filled with love. I strive to provide the most reliable, trusting, & professional care. I will definitely be sending you plenty of pictures/videos of your pet(s) stay and will be sure to keep in touch with you throughout each day. I love checking in with my clients and letting them know their baby is in the best hands! Expect your pup to have their own personal vacay. I will provide plenty of play time, unlimited belly rubs, yummy snacks, and lots of comfy places to nap. Your pup will be treated as if they were one of my own! I am fine with working with any additional needs they may have, just let me know.

About: I have had a wide variety of different types of pets throughout my life such as (snakes, hedgehogs, raccoons, pigs, chickens, etc.). Having learned to care for each and every one of them. Has provided me with substantial knowledge in how to deal with pets whether puppies or full grown large dog breeds. In 2024, I rescued my German shepherd. When we got him he was only 4 months old and in critical condition, suffering from starvation and diseases. Throughout my care I have been able to provide my dog a happy and healthy ongoing life. I’m a full-time college student however, I am currently on summer break and am available at your service 24/7 to provide the best pet care possible. I have several acres of land for your pet to play on as well as a pond for your baby to swim in! Along with 1 very friendly dog for your pup to play with. My yard is unfenced, so pups will be supervised when playing outside. I can crate your pup throughout the night if needed.

About: With over 7 years of hands-on experience and a lifelong love for animals, I bring genuine passion and reliability to every pet I care for.

About: I’ve owned animals all of my life, and currently have 2 dogs of my own, one which I adopted as an older rescue. I spent several years working as a vet assistant, which included walking and taking care of boarded animals. I also have no problem administering medications as needed.

I’m also available for dog walking and drop-in visits on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.

My dogs welcome other dogs, and they would have a great time under my supervision. I would be home the entire time your dog(s) are visiting.

About: I have had family dogs since I was 6, and I first got one of my own at 18. I currently have a 10-year-old, rescue dog named, Nala. I have a lot of experience with the tummy issues that come with aging dogs. My girl needs medication regularly.

“She’s the best!”


About: Over the years, I have had many pets of my own, including several dogs, cats, and even a hedgehog! Although I have a family cat that I love dearly, I am unable to have a pet of my own at the moment due to time and financial constraints, but I have been pet sitting for about 4 years to gain experience and love on these sweet babies in the meantime. I learn easily and can therefore learn how to best take care of your pet while you're away to keep them in their routine. I am very passionate about animals and love getting to meet new ones, so book with me today for a sitter who will care for your pets like her own! I am currently a graduate student at SELU, so I would be able to check on your pet between classes. I only have 3 classes this semester so my schedule is very flexible. I also have very good time management skills, so I can efficiently schedule when each pet needs to be taken care of. I will make sure that your pet gets plenty of play time, attention, and the same amount of love and care that you show them. One of the most rewarding things about pet sitting is seeing animals go from shy and anxious since their owners are away to seeing them blossom and love on me throughout my stay with them. I am very passionate about animals and I want to see them thrive just as much as you do!

About: I’m reliable, punctual, and experienced with dogs and cats of all ages. I provide loving pet care, tidy homes, and peace of mind while you’re away. I work from home and set my own schedule, so I’m available most days and weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my flexible daily routine. I provide loving, attentive care in both my home and clients’ homes, treating every pet with the same respect and affection I give my own.

“Madie always does a fantastic job taking care of Bailey!! Highly recommended.”


About: I have had dogs and helped take care of them since I was 8 years old. My dream is to become a veterinarian one day. I have worked in animal care for over a year at a training facility, where I helped maintain the facility's cleanliness as well as the health and safety of all the dogs in our care. I also assisted with feeding, walks, and administering oral medications when needed. I am currently a substitute teacher, and will be available days when I am off to make sure I give your pets the best possible care and my full undivided attention. I have a fenced-in backyard, and I help play with them and ensure they have everything they need. I also do vet runs when needed.


“Sarah and Russell made everything so easy! Quick response, easy to talk to, comfortable, and Herschel took to them quickly! They came over for a meet and greet at our convenience and stayed for a while getting to know our baby and talking about our likes and dislikes for our Herschel. They did drop ins to feed him, let him out, and some play time. They sent photos and updates! We are planning a play date with thier dogs so we can possibley let Herschel stay with them next time. Now my husband and I are actually looking forward to another get away knowing we have reliable doggie sitters!”


About: I am a Veterinary Technician of 11 years and currently at a specialty practice, so I am able to administer medications and provide post-op care. I have open availability as I am at home with my new human addition. I am very loving with all animals and livestock. I am very familiar with "hard to handle" pets as well, even the spicy kitties. I am also CPR certified for cats and dogs. I have open availability now that I am a stay at home mom. I am very flexible with time requests as well. I am available on some holidays. I have one pet in the home. Reesie Marie is a sweet girl and loves to play ball, but is also older so she just hangs out on her little doggy couch. She gets along with all pets. I also have room to separate pets in case they do not get along.


About: I've been taking care of dogs for a while now. I pet sit for my neighbor's three dogs all the time! I also have a doggie of my own Star! I have walk, fed, bathed, gave medicine, and of course played with her ever since I was about 13! I love all pets and would love to care for yours!! Hello! I am currently working part time and taking online courses at Southeastern. I am able to provide services to you in the early morning and late afternoon/evening! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me! I will be sure to follow all house rules that are given for me and your pets without a doubt. I will always make sure they are happy and safe!

About: I grew up around dogs and cats, and have worked in a doggy daycare so i i have a very deep love and understanding for them. i love learning more about them and caring for them. i’m here for school and i do work nights but i’m happy to fit you and your furry friends into my schedule it’s pretty flexible for the most part ! I have a girl aussie myself that your furry friend can play with, open floor plan and toys. A good community to walk around to stretch those legs/for my more active friends i can go on runs with them.

About: Hello! I have taken care of dogs since I was 5 and cats since I was 18! My family was allergic to cats (so was i) but as soon as I moved out I got a cat! I also could not take my parents dog with me so I got my own dog. My first rescue is Hercules, he is my German Shepard Pitbull Mix and Scarface is my street cat! (We have no idea his origin we rescued him from the streets in Hammond). A year or so later we rescued our Black Lab Phil! Phil is a HANDFUL as most black labs are so I’ve seen it all. And then two years later we now have our Corgi Cheddar adopted from Tangi Humane and another street cat El Vira. I throughly enjoy rescuing animals and caring for/loving them. I currently work full-time from home. (9:30am - 5:30pm) However, I am not attached to my house so at anytime I can leave and take care of anything you need for your fur babies! I must advise that I will 95% of the time have my 2 year old daughter, Ella, with me. She is well versed in both big and small dogs and cats and very gentle. In the evenings however, I will leave her with my husband. We live in a home, Hercules & Phil live outdoors as they are our guard dogs. (Don’t fret, on cold nights they sleep in the house) they have a screened in back porch with 4 Large fans, their own couch, a dinosaur sized water bowl, a small kiddie pool to play in, a trampoline that they love to play on and a car port so their lives outside are pretty nice! Cheddar lives indoors with us as she is our alert dog, and Scarface and El Vira hang on the front porch! All of our animals get along with each other. I personally would prefer to come to a clients house as it does take an adjustment period to get all of my animals acquainted with a new animal in my own home.

About: I’ve been in vet medicine most my career, as a veterinarian technician I have taken care of many pets, young and old. I love them all! I’m currently a SAHM so my schedule is pretty open to anyone’s pets needs. My only day that’s not available is Sunday due to church. I can care for pets inside their home where they’re most comfortable, Insuring safety and comfort. I’ll treat anyone’s home with respect as well as their pet!
