About: I’ve had animals in my house for a majority of my life growing up, as well as exposure to all sorts of animals, domestic and non-domestic. I have house sitting experience as well, with several families entrusting me to stay at their house for a week at a time. My desire is to be reliable, communicative, and fun so that you feel at ease leaving your pet in my hands! My favorite experience in pet sitting was caring for 4 sheep that were preparing to be sold at auction. I even had to carry one back into the pin! It was incredible. I have a flexible job (I am a graduate student at Louisiana Tech) so my hours are flexible, specifically with lunch times and weekends this summer. I prefer staying over night with the pet because it allows me to care even better for the pet and house. I like to leave things better than I find it, and that applies to dog sitting just as much!

About: I have had animals in my home since I was a little kid. I have been known to be a frequent dog watcher for many years. I go into others homes and have house/dog sat for many years and enjoy every bit! I have done old, new and all inbetween type dogs! Big or small I enjoy serving families and helping with their dog care! My job is flexible so I can come in and out as much as you need. I also can stay the night. I would prefer this actually to make sure dog has all it needs and house is kept in order I am very passionate about doing what is asked of me in pet care. I want the dog to be able to be around me and still maintain all training and methods that the owner has instilled. I work hard to do everything by the instructions of the specific owner

About: I am currently a senior at Louisiana Tech University majoring in Animal Science. Prior to enrolling in college, I volunteered my time at my local animal shelter to aid in socializing dogs for the future possibility of adoption. Also, I've had many pets of my own, including a miniature poodle, a guinea pig, hamster, rat terrier, a domestic shorthair cat, and many others. These pets are no longer with me due to their inevitable old age. I also have farm animal experience that includes administering deworming medication to goats, as well as experience with cattle. I absolutely love animals of all kinds, especially dogs! I take great pride in caring for pets and companion animals. I have a flexible schedule, and will be available for dog walking services everyday after 12:15 pm. I can be contacted through the Rover app at any time regarding my availability. Your pet will be well taken care of and will only be given food/treats upon request. I will walk your dog and provide plenty of water.

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 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!

About: Hi! I’m Rebecca, a passionate pet sitter with over three years of experience working at a pet boarding and daycare facility. I am CPR certified in all fields and currently attending pre-vet school, which equips me with extensive knowledge and skills in animal care. I've had extensive experience caring for senior pets, providing them with the gentle attention and comfort they need. I've also looked after disabled pets, ensuring they receive the specialized care and support to thrive. Additionally, I am proficient in managing pets with medication schedules, ensuring they receive their treatments on time and with the utmost care. I understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities, and I strive to provide personalized care to ensure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I offer a range of services including daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, overnight stays, and boarding! With my background in animal behavior and first aid, you can trust that your furry friend is in safe and capable hands. I’m committed to providing a stress-free experience for both you and your pet, keeping you updated with regular photos and updates. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet soon! Pet care seamlessly fits into my regular schedule as I live and work at a pet boarding facility, allowing me to provide constant attention and care. My daily routine is centered around feeding, walking, and engaging with a variety of pets, which complements my studies in pre-vet school. This hands-on experience enriches my academic learning and ensures that I am always attuned to the needs of the animals in my care. Caring for pets in my home or clients' homes is a natural extension of my passion for animals. Living on a farm with two dogs and two cats, I am well-versed in creating enriching environments and ensuring all pets are happy and healthy. I love providing dogs with the best playtime opportunities, utilizing the vast outdoor space on the farm for fun and exercise, and ensuring cats have safe, stimulating indoor and outdoor areas to explore.

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: 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.

About: Growing up, my family always had animals of many types around. From dogs and cats to horses and chickens I have many years experience with my own animals and pet sitting for others! Very patient and willing to work with animals of all types! A pet sitter is always a better option than boarding or doggy daycare, because it gives your pup a more personalized experience with tons of one on one time, so let me spoil your pup for you while you’re away! I am currently a stay at home mom, so I have plenty of time for drop ins and long walks, as well as hanging out with your dog in their own home! I strive to care for your pet like they are my own. As a dog owner myself, I know each pet comes with their specific set of needs and I do my best to make your pet feel loved and safe in my care!

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!

Chloe was such a delight. My dog loved her and he is weary on some people. My dog can be intimidating but she handled him with such care and grace she is very sweet. She did great and listened to any instructions I had very well I recommend her to anyone looking for care.
