About: I have a great deal of experience caring for animals. I have a special passion for animals with special needs or chronic illness. I am able to administer pills, liquids and injections. I currently work a a veterinary clinic in town. I am available for weekend house sitting/ pet sitting. During the week I can be available mornings mid day and evenings to let pets out and spend time with them. I think it is very important to not only take care of a pets basic needs but also their emotional needs. I think a little extra time spent petting or playing with a pet can make a huge difference in a pets happiness
About: I connect deeply with animals. It brings me joy to protect their health/safety and to ensure they feel loved and engaged. Additionally, I have gone through the American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Training with my adopted sweet baby angel Mali. I work for myself part-time as a handylady and do furniture restoration. I also work for a local nonprofit that creates household items and furniture out of bamboo. My schedule is flexible in order to meet the needs of you and your pets :)) At your home, I will be hyper aware of environmental dangers. I am well-versed in how to create and maintain a healthy and safe environment for animals.
About: I have a deep genuine love for animals! I treat them as if they were my own. I have a field able for pets to enjoy and a big track for walking. I have a dog of my own. His name is cooper and he is 4 years old. He is a border collie mixed with pekingese. I can always send updates when your pets are in my care. Available anytime. Ever since I was young I grew up with animals and would rescue them. I understand the safety of your pets and will make sure they are in great care so you have no worries. Food and water will always be available to animals and also on walks. I would love to care for your pet! I currently work a part-time job so I have a flexible schedule! I enjoy taking my dog to the park when I’m not working and he loves it. The neighborhood I live in is fenced in and is a safe environment. I am blessed to have a big field right in front of my home so my dog can run around as he pleases. There is a strict speed limit so I never have to worry about anyone driving recklessly and not see my dog. I enjoy making my home cozy enough for pets and make sure there’s enough toys and treats.
“I highly recommend Tenashia to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog sitter. Their dedication and love for dogs are truly unmatched, and I will definitely be booking their services again in the future. Thank you, Tenashia, for taking such wonderful care of Ruger and Willow!”
About: I’ve never not had a dog! If you see me at a party, I’m probably with the dog on the floor. I love them and all the fur that comes along. I have an 11 year old dachshund fur baby myself. I’m a small business owner so I’m always on the road. I’ll be able to stop by for a visit with your fur baby no problem! I’m very trustworthy and reliable. I take any job very seriously. Being a small business owner myself, I would treat your home and pet no differently. Other than some snuggles!
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.
About: Been an animal lover and caretaker since I was 6 years old. My pets are family and I enjoy pampering and loving on them! I try to make play time enjoyable and give lots of attention so boredom stays at bay. I’m currently retired so I’ll have lots of time to pamper your beloved pet. I’m familiar with administering medication, if necessary. Some grooming available upon request. I will treat your fur baby as if they are my own. Have always been responsible and attentive to my own pets needs. Walks, cuddles, and ear scratches given in unlimited quantities.
About: I have had 3 different types of dogs die from happiness and old age, so you know I know how to take care of them. I also love reptiles, from sulcata tortoises to leopard geckos. Your fur baby will be in very good hands with me. I am currently working part time before my wife has our baby. Before that moment I can devote some of my time to taking care of the many pets around here who need it. I never let the pets I am taking care of eat table food, I make sure they are getting enough attention and play. They will always have access to my backyard to stretch their legs and go potty.
“Destiny was an amazing dog sitter for my children’s pups! Her check-ins were consistent and effective for daily interactions with the pups. She communicated very well throughout the scheduled drop in visits. I would highly recommend Destiny for any future dog sitting opportunities!”
About: I am fun. Friendly. An animal lover since I was a child. I have pets of my own so I know how to care for them properly I'm currently a full time employee looking for extra cash on the weekend for my family. We are great people trying to help others and their pets I am very safe with pet in and outside of the home. They are kids with four legs. (Lol) I am very aware of my surroundings and know to have fun !
About: Your furr baby is safe with me! A veterinary technician pet sitting is like having a pediatric nurse babysitting. I have always had a love for animals, but I began my career with animals at 18 as a bather/kennel tech for a groomer in Youngsville. I decided to take my passion further and worked along side some of the most amazing Veterinarian's. Due to losing my children's father, Justin, it has become challenging to find a job working with pets due to conflicting hours with my kids school. So now I am on my journey to opening up my very own boarding facility in memory of him and my dog, "Elsie", who I rescued when I first met Justin. She ironically passed away days after him. Your pet/s will be wagging with joy when you say my name to them. I am currently not working due to conflicting hours with my children's school schedule. Therefore, I am flexible with pet sitting hours outside of school pickup/drop off times. As a person who has worked in animal health for a long period of time, safety is my main priority when it comes to your pet. I have done it all, from bathing pets to assisting in surgery. Your pet will always be in safe hands with me.
About: I've had dogs of all sizes, cats and other animals since I was a little kid. I've had pet rats, chickens, guinea fowl, snakes and lizards. I've had diabetic and blind animals. You can rely on me for whatever you need! I'm completely comfortable giving medication and injections. If you have non traditional pets such as chicken, goats, snakes, lizards or birds, I can look after them also! I work full time days M-F and can only come before 8 and after 5. I'm completely free on weekends. I can stay overnight if it's not too far from work. I'm a forensic scientist and have great attention to detail. I have 3 acres on the bayou teche with 2 dogs, 5 cats, 40 chickens and 15 guinea fowl. It's not totally fenced. I can take dogs/cats here, but I would prefer for them to be comfortable in their own home unless they are okay with our menagerie. I have experience with various medications, injections and animals.

Margo M.
“Margo was amazing. I have two cats who are weary of strangers and they took to her right away. My dog Georgia also was very happy to have Margo take care of her and walk her while we were gone. Margo has all the qualities that you would want in a sitter: friendly, reliable, and trustworthy. I would definitely use Margo again.”
