“She is awesome and my boys love her!!!!!!!!”
About: I’ve grown up around pets especially dogs all my life. One of our dogs had puppies so i’m great with puppies as well. My family has had/have anywhere from boxers to great danes to australian shepherds so i’m good with a lot of breeds. I’ve dog sit before for family friends. I’m a full time student so i’m off now for the summer and will have plenty of time to walk dogs! I’m free everyday unless something else comes up. I have 4 friendly dogs in my home that love other dogs. However, right now, im only signed up for dog walking but I might eventually do dog sitting.
About: I grew up helping take care of my own pets. Not only have i taken care of my own pets but I have also helped take care of my friends' pets. I feed, walk, play, and care for dogs and cats. I currently work remote 8 am to 5 pm and have an hour break that I can take any time of the day. That break would allow time for walking your pet. I am available early mornings to walk your pet. There are a couple evenings (Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays) where I have other commitments but I would definitely try and 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 (during the week and during the weekend). 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.
About: Loving on and taking care of pets has always been a passion of mine. I have helped my parents raise their bulldog puppies, I’ve raised my own kittens and had them adopted by folks I love. My own Pittie was a tri-pod and ended up having cancer, so I have a lot of experience with giving all kinds of meds, as well as taking care of our other rescue dog who had heart worms. My home is safe for your pets, I have a fenced yard, and it’s just me and my husband at home. I am available to come to you, or your fur baby can come to me! I look forward to our meet and greets! Thanks in advance for trusting your babies to me! We just moved to the Monroe, Louisiana are three weeks ago. My husband works in Monroe, and I am currently looking to work full time pet sitting, walking, or just hanging out with your pet! I have a fenced back yard, a lake just off our deck, if your dog likes to swim, and in our house Jack, our cat, rules the roost.
About: Out of my family when growing up, even when little, I have been the primary one to care for our dogs. I would bathe them, let them out, train them, walk them, etc. I'd even go out of my way to help those of friends as well. I have a huge care for pets and making sure they're as loved as you make them feel. I'm currently in college at LA Tech, but only have three classes this quarter! My latest classes are from 2-5, everyday, but anytime after 5 PM works! I also only have one class on Tuesdays and Thursday, so any check ins early-on on those days works as well. Besides that, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I have the 2-5 class, but also a class at 9:30 AM, so only afternoons work those days. All weekends should work for me! While I can not take care of your pet in my own home, I find being able to bring them comfort and care in their own environment where they are used to being to help them feel truly cared for. I know how lonesome our pets can be when we are gone, whether they have another person caring for them or not, so I like to go above and beyond to give them their normal care and love so things won't feel too differently for them for the time being.

“Kaylah was the best!!! She saved me at the very last minute. I had to find someone to walk my dog Bentley, as I couldn’t due to serious migraine that in was hoping would be over by 5:30. It wasn’t… so at exactly 5:25 Kaylah agreed to come walk Bentley at 6:00. I can’t thank her enough for saving me and allowing Bentley to get the exercise and break he needed. He seemed to enjoy it. She was great! If I ever need a sitter or walker again, Kaylah would be my first choice!”

Jed M.
“I highly recommend Jed as a very responsible and very loving caregiver. He has been “caregiving” for his mother for over 3 years. Jed is very caring and loving with all animals. He always puts the animals overall well being first and foremost. Jed seems to posses a certain “sixth sense” when it comes to animals. He is very observant with each animal that he is dealing with. He has an ability to “connect” with animals in a way that I’ve never seen before. I have no doubt in Jed’s ability to provide not only love and care for your pet but to put their priorities first. You can’t go wrong with Jed!”

“From knowing his personal care of watching and walking my dogs in the past I can truly testify to the level of love and affection he has for the animals. I have an over weight dachshund-schnauzer mix and a lab mix who is battling with cancer. When watching my pets Trevor made sure to push but still go at my small dogs pace to make sure she got the attendant she needed and gave my lab his medication on time as well as recommended some routines to help him with his struggles. Excellent care, excellent person.”

He was only 10 weeks old & he quickly took to her & he had the best time as she loved on him everyday. She shared videos periodically of their playtime, his nap time & feeding time just to keep me posted on his visit. I would recommend her due to her professional & her amazingly huge heart for animals filled with so much love.”
