“Took really great care of my cats and even did any addition request I had for them. I will most definitely be hiring this same person to take care of my babies in the future.”
“Kacey was amazing dropping in on our cats for 2 weeks while we were away! She followed instructions perfectly and the cats loved her (even my shy older lady) and she helped me out with a couple of things around the house seen as we were gone so long which was so nice of her. She’s so reliable and gives great communication. Will absolutely book her again!”
“This was the first time to use in-home visits to care for and feed our diabetic cat - Binx. It was a great experience and we’ll definitely use Amanda again! The notifications, photos and comments assured us that Binx was being taken care of. Binx gives her 5 stars, too! Thanks, Amanda!”
“Kale was extremely thorough, quick to respond, and made sure my cats had a good time while I was out of town. I have one active cat and one lap cat and Kale made sure to give them both equal attention. The picture updates were the icing on the cake. Overall, I would highly recommend booking Kale!”
About: Senior care, puppy care. I can do both! Bonus, if your dog likes to run, so do I! Medications no problem, clipping nails, no problem. I work full time, so I’m available evenings, nights, and weekends. I can house sit certain nights, can do drop ins any day of the week. I have worked with a variety of species. I have no issues with reptiles, rodents, amphibians, cats, and dogs etc. I am passionate about animal care.
“Mikayla did an amazing job with our cat Alfred this weekend! She was punctual, respectful, and communicative (sending pictures and updates every time she checked on him), and it was clear that Alfred loved her right away. We have already rebooked with Mikayla for a couple weekends from now!”
“Luri & Bianca took great care of my cat while I was away. Despite his nervousness, they were always patient with him. I will definitely book with them the next time I am out of town!”
About: I am a Full-Time animal lover with very open availability. I can guarantee reliable walks and visits anytime because your fur babies deserve the absolute best! As a part time worker and full time college student, pet care falls perfectly into my routine. With open availability and a passion for animals, I prioritize each visit as if they were my own! At home, I am a proud owner of two pups, Chica, a catahoula mix and Jax, a corgi! To accompany them is Merlot, my cat! At my house, they have plently of indoor space to run around and sleep as well as a fenced in backyard with so much room to stretch their legs anytime! To top it off, Chica is kennel trained, so I have plently of experience in that department!
About: New to the app, Expert on care! I have been providing care for animals since the dawn of time(since i was 13). My compassion for animals lead me to my career of being a Vet Tech which i have been for the last 4 years. I am able to give love and care to all ranges from young to seasoned, big to small, & shy to overjoyed. I work full-time as a Vet Tech at a local veterinary office. I'm usually fully available anytime after 6p, my mornings varies; occasionally I work 9a- 6p, while others I'm either off or work 1p - 6p. I like to follow your schedule and routine as close as possible. I want to ensure your pet is comfortable and feels as if nothing has changed. (minus a new person in the house)
“Alana is my GO TO when I leave my fur babies for weekend trips. She is attentive, kind and always on time. She has even been there for me for last minute needs. She is reliable, flexible and my first choice!”
About: I’ve had friends and neighbors rely on me to take care of their dogs when gone. I’m good with walking them and taking them out to the park. I love to play with them and make sure they are loved when their owner is out of town. I can’t have my own dog in Baton Rouge and looking to help others when in a crunch. I work Monday-Thursday on the road most weeks but not all weeks. I am free every weekend to take care of your dogs. On weekends I just hang out in my apartment by myself most the time. I live in an apartment but we do have a dog park. And I am willing to travel to take care of your dog also. I can also load the dog up and take him/her to the park. The dog can stay overnight on weekends and I even have a few dog toys and bones at my place for dogs.
“Johanna was wonderful. She was caring, responsible, timely and took great care of cat. She is not usually comfortable with strangers, but took to Johanna immediately. That is the best recommendation I can think of.”
About: I’m comfortable helping out with your Dogs, Cats, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs… possibly other animals, just shoot me a message! My family, friends and neighbors have trusted me for all of their pet care needs and hopefully you will too! My hours are flexible at the moment. I’m available for pop in visits for feeding, walks and/or outdoor play time too. I’m super patient and don’t mind spending a little extra time with the needier fur babies. My cats are beyond spoiled, so don’t feel bad about what you may think are silly special requests. I completely understand. I’ll treat your fur babies like they were my own.
“Olivia did great with our two cats while we were gone for a week! They really seemed to really like her and did not seem anxious at all. She followed directions perfectly and kept in great contact. Would definitely rebook!”
“Margaret was the absolute best! The pups have been struggling with us being gone and she did an fabulous job of making them feel loved! She went above and beyond to check in with me and them! Cannot recommend her enough!”
About: Hi! I’m Lillian, and I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all kinds (more frequently larger dogs) mostly for friends and family but now I’m excited to expand my horizons and offer my help to fellow pet parents in the community! Growing up, I helped care for a physically challenged dog, which taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to adapt to any pup’s needs. I’m comfortable with all personalities, energy levels, and special requirements. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or specific routines, I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I truly treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! It depends what the owner wants for their animal/home I’m happy to be however flexible they want me to be. Some families prefer pet sitters to stay at their homes overnight and spend most of their day caring for the pet while other families prefer sitters to drop in every 4 hours or so to feed, provide water, entertain, and walk the animal. I’m ok doing which ever but my schedule might differ depending on the week but communication is all that matters! I cannot offer boarding since I will be moving into a non pet friendly apartment soon but for overnight/day pet sitting I will just follow your directions and rules!
About: I am super loving and affectionate towards animals. I enjoy walking at the park and taking care of little fur babies:) They will be in great hands with me. Whatever your pet's needs are, I can surely promise to take the best care of them, getting fed, walked, bathed, take medication if needed, or extra loves and cuddles while your away, I am able to provide. I have a 7 year old daughter who also loves animals and is in school full time. I am currently a stay at home mom so my scheduale is very flexible and I'm looking to earn extra money to help provide for my daughter. No matter if your pet is big or small, I can assure you that they will have a good time with me and be well taken care of:) I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I am a stay at home mother and I am lucky to have alot of help with taking care of my daughter, so any time of the week, Monday-Sunday, I am available. Depending on what environment your pet lives in, I can assure you that I follow any rules that are given to me by my client, whether its for walks on a leash, being in a crate or being off leash in a fenced in back yard. I also send lots of pictures and updates to keep you informed on how the days going with your pet, what we did for fun, feeding and bathroom breaks, any input that is given, I will make sure to follow up on.
