About: I believe in communication between me and clients because they know what’s best for their pet. I will treat your pet like it’s my own! I am working full time but it is an office job so I am able to leave whenever I need to go check on your sweet pets! And I am usually always free on weekends and will spend the night if you would like me to! I follow the dog’s regular routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I’m careful to keep their environment clean, secure, and stress-free.
About: I’ve taken care of many types of dogs since I was 12. Five years ago I adopted 2 cats. I know routines are very important. I’m currently a full time teacher at Ruston Junior High but live in Farmerville, La. I can look after pets before, after school, and weekends. I care for pets by following instructions, ensuring safety, providing companionship, feeding, walking, cleaning, giving updates, respecting the home, and maintaining a clean, secure, comfortable environment.

I am available early mornings before 6:45 am, afternoons 2pm-3pm, and evenings after 4:00 pm on Monday through Friday to walk your pet and/or provide other care. There are a few evenings (Monday and Wednesday) and times on the weekend where I have other commitments but I would work with your pet schedule the best I can! Unfortunately I am unable to provide care for pets in my place since my apartment does not allow pets. I can however provide overnight care for your pet in the comfort of your home! I will make sure that your pet is cared for as you would care for them. I kindly ask that you write down instructions on how to care for your pet, if you feel the need to do so. I understand that pet care varies from pet to pet. I appreciate you greatly for this!
“It’s hard for me to trust someone else with my dogs but I’m so glad I choose Rileigh!! My dogs are a bit choosy about who they trust, but they warmed up to her pretty quickly! She kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and notes, and I could tell my dogs were happy and well cared for. It’s such a relief to find someone I can trust completely with their care. I’ve already booked her again and plan to rely on her whenever I need help. Highly recommend! 😊”
About: I've had pets of all shapes and sizes for my whole life, participating in their care in considerable ways such as bathing, feeding, and clean-up. I'm familiar with breeds as small as chihuahuas and shiatzus, and as large as great danes and cane corsos. I have two cats now, Oscar and Ophelia, who I take very well care of. They want for nothing, except maybe more treats! I’m a stay at home mom preparing to get my online masters in counseling, so I have lots of flexibility to care for your pets. I'm familiar with keeping my eye on animals, even those excitable flight-risks, and am more than diligent when it comes to locking up and providing security for your home and your pet.
“Chelsea is a very compassionate, caring, professional, dedicated, and loving person. Her love and kindness was clear every step of the way. Her ten years of experience as a Vet Technician made a huge difference in the care she offered to my kitties. The sweet presence of her young son also made a wonderful impact. My kitties love both Chelsea and her son. I was expecting very good outcomes from my first booking with Rover, but I didn't know it would be more than fantastic. Before leaving town and being away from my cats for the first time, I was honestly very nervous about leaving them with someone else other than my husband and I, but Chelsea took care of them as if they were part of her family. Our gratitude and love to Chelsea. And thank you so very much Rover for providing us with such an excellent sitter.”
About: I have had four or more dogs since I was a baby so I’m an expert at taking care of puppies. I’ve been house/dog sitting since I was in middle school and dog walking since I was a kid. I love taking care of cats, too!!! I have a couple of classes but I’m done by 2 pm everyday. I can easily fit house/dog sitting/walking into my schedule. Just message me to find out times and if that works for you, great! I’ve been house sitting for my neighborhood since I was 16 and can easily live with dogs since I have been doing it since I was a baby. I’m open to any schedule you have your dogs on and any feeding/special routine your dog needs.
About: I’ve spent my whole life with animals and have always had a love for dogs. Since I’m currently attending LaTech I can’t see any of my animals back home and would like to help take care of your pets and show them love. Thank you! I’m free basically everyday during the week since I take all morning classes! So I will have plenty of time to give your dogs as much love as possible. I always make sure to play with the pet whenever they want to and give them their food on their owners schedule. I’m very organized and always on time.
