“Lauren was so awesome and friendly, and my dog loved her visits! She gave us lots of updates while she and Rouge played and walked. She was also super flexible about what I needed and times. I will 100% use and recommend her again!”

“I’m always relieved to leave my Shady with Kaylee because I know he will be in the best hands! She sends so many updates and is great with giving him his meds. We love Kaylee!”

“Katie is our absolute favorite sitter! This is her second time housesitting for us. She took amazing care of our dogs and left our home cleaner than it was before she arrived! She sent daily updates as well, which I definitely appreciated. Highly recommend booking with her!”

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.
“Tenay was fantastic! She was available last minute and saved me from having to cancel my trip. The dogs were comfortable with her and she left my house in great shape. Thank you!”

“Sierra did a great job. She did leave the cat poop in a grocery bag for a few days so when we came in the house didnt smell great. Otherwise she kept me in the loop every day, took pictures & sent & kept the house clean. I will most definitely use her again.”

“Nick watched our 2 dogs and gecko for a few days and we had a great experience! He was so professional and very responsive while we were gone. The house and all the animals were very well taken care of and we would highly recommend Nick to anyone!”

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for a wide variety of animals, from cats and dogs to hamsters, guinea pigs, and even reptiles like turtles and lizards, I offer compassionate and reliable pet-sitting services. As a pet parent to my own two cats and two dogs, alongside my caring boyfriend, I understand the importance of providing a loving and safe environment for your beloved companions. Having provided pet-sitting for my family for many years, I am eager to extend my care to your furry, scaly, or feathered friends! As a part-time restaurant manager and nursing student, I offer flexible pet care services to fit your needs. Working for my mother provides me with unique scheduling flexibility, allowing me to accommodate your pet's care with sufficient notice. I reside in a spacious two-bedroom apartment in Baton Rouge with my boyfriend, providing ample space for pet care. While I'm unable to host other pets in my home due to my dog's reactivity, I do have experience with aggressive dogs. My young German Shepherd is incredibly friendly and would enjoy playdates with similar-sized pups! My pets follow a strict daily schedule, maintained with my boyfriend's help. As an owner of larger breeds (Pitbull and German Shepherd), I'm comfortable handling bigger dogs, even in apartment settings, thanks to daily walks down three flights of stairs. I'm also experienced in administering medications and catering to pets with special needs, ensuring your pet receives the personalized care they require.
“Allison took excellent care of our pets. She kept in constant touch with us while we were away. I was able to have fun on vacation and didn’t worry about my senior dog who can’t see or hear well. I will definitely use her again!”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is that I turned my lifelong passion for animals into my profession. As an incoming second-year veterinary student at LSU, caring for animals is more than just a job to me, it is truly what I love to do every day. I am passionate about creating a safe, loving, and stress free environment for every pet in my care and treating them with the same compassion and attention I would give my own animals. My veterinary training and hands on experience allow me to confidently care for pets of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I am comfortable administering medications, monitoring health concerns, recognizing signs of stress or illness, and providing attentive care for senior pets or animals needing extra support. I also understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions when caring for puppies and high energy pets. Above all, I genuinely love building trust and connections with animals. Pet care is something I intentionally prioritize within my daily and weekly routine. While I do work part time in a large animal emergency hospital, caring for animals is my passion and an important part of my life. I carefully manage my schedule to ensure that every pet in my care receives the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I understand how important reliability and communication are when trusting someone with your pets, and I am committed to meeting each animal’s individual needs, whether that includes walks, playtime, medications, feeding schedules, or simply providing companionship and comfort while you are away. Animals are truly a central part of my life, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, attention, and compassion that I give my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment where they feel secure and well cared for. I understand that every animal has different routines, personalities, and needs, so I make it a priority to provide individualized care tailored to each pet. Whether that includes playtime, exercise, medications, feeding schedules, enrichment, or simply companionship and affection. I strive to ensure pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. My goal is always to provide dependable, attentive, and professional care so that both pets and owners can feel confident and at ease.
“Dweezil was very excited to see Caydence when she arrived. She took great care of him and treated our home with respect! We will definitely be using her services again in the near future.”

“Madeline was excellent. Madeline watched my two dogs and kept me updated through the weekend. I would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs someone to watch and stay at there house.”

About: I’ve been a pet owner my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Through that, I’ve learned how to read animal behavior, provide consistent routines, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m experienced with daily responsibilities like feeding, walking, cleaning up, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need to stay happy and relaxed. I understand how important it is to be patient and gentle, especially with pets who may be shy, energetic, or need extra care. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I take that responsibility seriously. I have a flexible schedule and am available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits. I do my best to accommodate different routines, including last-minute bookings when possible. I’m reliable with timing and always make sure pets are cared for consistently and on schedule. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care needs
About: I’ve volunteered at multiple animal shelters and have grown up with animals all my life. My two pets at home are a dog named Scout and a cat named Maggie! I am currently a junior at LSU so I have plenty of time to care for your animals! Especially on weekends I am a homebody. I have food and treats for both dogs and cats as well as poop bags, toys, extra leashes. My dog scout is also very friendly if your dog enjoys company.
“Elise was so sweet to our pups, even went out of the way to get a couple gifts for them! We ended up having to come home early and she made that such an easy process. Definitely recommended to friends!”
