About: I’m a background-checked veteran and experienced pet sitter who truly enjoys caring for animals. As a service dog handler, I pay close attention to routines, body language, and safety, so your pet is always in good hands. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs; puppies, high-energy pups, anxious dogs, and seniors who need a slower, more gentle approach. I do my best to keep their routine as close to home as possible so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. Your dog will get plenty of attention, structured walks, and a calm, clean environment. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing exactly how they’re doing. My goal is simple: a happy, well-cared-for pet and total peace of mind for you. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I plan my day around the animals I’m responsible for. I focus on reliable, punctual service and consistent routines so your pet gets calm, structured care every visit. I provide calm, structured, and attentive care in both my home and my clients’ homes. As a background-checked veteran and service dog handler, I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and monitor pets for any changes in behavior. You’ll receive daily photo updates and messages so you always know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: Animals have always been the center of my world, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to care for just about every kind of pet, from bouncy puppies and cuddly kittens to gentle seniors who just need a little extra patience and love. I also have experience with training and even dog showing, which taught me the importance of consistency, communication, and building trust with every animal. More than anything, I believe every pet deserves kindness, attention, and to feel like part of the family, so when they’re with me, that’s exactly what they’ll get. I am currently working part time and have some extra time to offer my services that i haven’t been able to recently. I only work a few hours mid day so i can take on just about any animals! My pets are already a huge part of my daily life from feeding, training, walking, enrichment etc. I can offer personalized care for each pets specific enrichment needs! I have a fenced in yard with safety latches for as much safety as possible. I live in a safe calm neighborhood with amazing neighbors.My whole house is designed around animals. We have a specific dog room and a cat room with safety gates etc to keep pets separate if needed and we have multiple wire kennels. We also have car kennels for safe traveling to any activities your pets would like!

I’m versed in crate training, strict feeding schedules and dietary restrictions as my own dog maintains. I have a car so I don’t mind a small field trip. I also am flexible if emergencies happen.

About: I have always had animals in my life. I know each one is different and special. I grew up on a farm so I know having a loving and compassionate person to care for your babies is a necessity when you have animals. I am a stay at home mom so while the kids are at school I have plenty of time to come by and play with your babies. I have a fenced in courtyard area in my home. We also have two dogs that love other dogs. One is a rescue Maltese and is 12 years old. The other is a 2 year old poodle, he is my husband's service dog so usually he is at work with my husband all day.

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’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 am also a former marine animal caretaker, at the New Orleans aquarium (10 years). I use this app to have my dogs walked if needed, and I’d be happy to do the same for anyone in my area. I work from home 3 days a week, so I could also pet sit in my home for the day! I would love to walk your dogs, take care of your cat, or even dog sit for the day in my home most days of the week (S,M,W,F,S). I’m also available for dog walking and drop-in visits on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. I have a large fenced yard where your baby can run, a kennel inside only if needed, otherwise they will be cool and comfy with me and my fur babies inside. 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: Pet sitting is more than just showing up. It's about making sure your animal feels safe, loved, and at ease even when you're not there. Growing up, animals were always a huge part of my life, from cats and dogs to guinea pigs and turtles. That early experience gave me a huge love for pets of all kinds. Your fur baby will be in caring, attentive hands. You can travel and go about your day knowing your pet is genuinely looked after, not just watched. I recently moved back home to Louisiana from living in Denver, Colorado for the past 5 years. With my schedule being so open and flexible, pet care fits naturally into my day. I am able to give your pet consistent attention, timely walks, and plenty of quality time without it ever feeling rushed. Safety and trust are two things that I will never compromise on. When I'm in a client's home, I treat the space with the same respect and care I would give my own. I want both pets and their owners to feel completely at ease, knowing their home and their animal are in good hands. I take thorough notes on routines, preferences, and any special needs so nothing gets overlooked. I always make sure the environment stays safe, comfortable, and familiar for your pet.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of dogs through my previous work assisting a sitter on Rover. During that time, I helped with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure each dog felt safe and comfortable in their environment. I worked with different breeds, sizes, and personalities, which taught me how to adjust my care to meet each animal's unique needs. I understand how important consistency, patience, and attention are when it comes to animals. Whether it's an energetic pup that needs extra playtime or a more relaxed dog that just wants companionship, I make sure they receive the care and affection they deserve. I'm also comfortable following specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medication, and any special care requests. My goal is always to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment so pets feel secure while their owners are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being at all times. As a college student with a very flexible schedule, I'm able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the day. My availability allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and extended stays without feeling rushed. Because of this flexibility, I can adjust to your pet's routine and make sure they get consistent care, attention, and companionship whenever they need it. 1 understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always prioritize safety by staying attentive, following instructions carefully, and making sure pets are secure and comfortable in their environment. You can count on me to provide dependable, respectful care while giving your pet the love and attention they deserve.

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: Been taking care of dogs and cats my whole life, i got my female Husky in Feb of 2018 and rescued my male Husky in Oct 2018. There is no pet i don't love and so far have never met a pet that didn't like me too, some take a little longer but you just gotta let me get use to you.
