Dog Walkers in Taft, LA

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over two years and have built lasting relationships with clients who trust me to care for their pets again and again. I have a gentle, nurturing approach that helps animals feel calm and comfortable — whether I’m dropping in for a quick visit or staying overnight. I have a sweet pit bull named Cooper, so I’m especially confident with big dogs and strong breeds. I also have experience administering medications and following detailed care routines. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I’ll treat them like part of my own family. I’m reliable, responsive, and I send regular photo updates so you can feel totally at ease while you’re away. Whether you need a dog walker or someone to care for your pets while you’re traveling, I’ve got you covered! I currently work part-time as a physical therapy aide and I’m in school for radiology technology, but pet care is still a major part of my weekly routine. I make time for drop-ins, dog walks, and overnight stays around my school and work schedule, and I always make sure I can fully commit to each pet I care for. Additionally, I am getting married in December of this year!💍🤍 Between my own dog, Cooper, and my loyal pet sitting clients, animals are a constant part of my life. I genuinely love being around them, and I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being—no matter how busy life gets. When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on making them feel as safe and comfortable as possible by sticking closely to their usual routine. I follow all care instructions exactly — whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or just cuddle time on the couch. During drop-ins, I give pets quality attention, playtime, and any necessary clean-up (like water bowls or accidents). For overnight stays, I create a calm, loving environment so pets feel secure while their people are away. I keep pet parents updated with messages and photos, so you’ll always know how things are going. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.

About: I 15 had a dog and lady-cats always were. I learned for this time, to give medicine, understand кгда they feel off, to understand when they are glad or sad. I very like with them to play, I understand when they are hungry. Repeatedly looked after the cats of friends when they departed at the seaside, they were satisfied. I came, checked up a pot, fed and spent time active, playing with them and giving a caress to them. So did 2 times per a day. With a my dog I go for a walk 2 times per a day on a hour. Necessarily pedestrian long route and at the end of game with a ball or stick. Now I’m housewife and I have a complete day, I can use him very flexibly. I can work, in the morning, in the day-time and in the evening I give services after supervisions of cats at home for an owner in a time of him going on vacation and walking of dogs. My 15 summer experience allows to understand all processes necessary after the supervision of cats and dogs. When I come to the cat on a house, I change a rest room to him, I feed, I play, take off on video the visit and give to the owner every day. If a cat is ill, I can give medicine on demand. If I go for walk with a dog, time of walk 55 minutes from them we walk 35-45 minutes and other time we play a ball or other active games, all depends on your pet and his mood. Of necessity I can comb out him or give medicine. I can do a photo and video from walks for owner.

About: Ever since I was a small child I have been adopting and caring for animals of various kinds. I’ve had many puppies and kittens who I raised and re-homed or kept. In addition, I’d nurse back to health any animal that needed it which included many birds and mammals like armadillos, opossums, bats, and deer. I love all animals and have a very close relationship with them. At the moment I have a pretty open schedule with classes being online so I’m open to being with pets all day. I love running, sprinting, and being active so if your pet likes that too that’s a huge plus. I have a fences and safe yard with different activities to do like balls, sticks, and toys to play with. I love being outside and playing with pets too. I have a lot of open space in my house with indoor toys as well to run around and frolic all day. I live in a nice, safe neighborhood that is very pet friendly as well.

About: Hi there! I'm Dominique, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats.I grew up in a home full of pets, and from a young age I've been walking, bathing, and caring for animals with genuine love and respect. Both of my parents are animal lovers, and naturally so am I. I love them all; dogs, cats, reptiles and birds. Now based in New Orleans, I offer reliable and loving care for your pets while you're away. I just finished graduate school and am one happy teacher on Summer break, so my schedule is very flexible. 😀 I am available 5:30am-10:00pm I specialize in: -Overnight in-home care (your home) -Dog walking (early morning through evening) -Drop-in visits & playtime -Safe care for senior or special-needs pets Whether your pet loves energetic walks or quite cuddles, I tailor my care to their needs. Trust and safety are my top priorities, and I strive to create a calm, secure environment every time. I do keep my calendar updated! I look forward to hearing from you! 😀 I'm currently working part-time and a graduate student at Xavier University of LA. My coursework is not too arduous and has a very flexible class schedule which allows me more freedom to work and complete other obligations that I might have. Taking care of your pet would be not a problem, and it would be an honor to do so! :) I love building trust with pets by not jumping into situations or environments that might appear to be stressful to the pet. I am fine with a fenced-in backyard, and if the pet is not fully trained without a leash, I have no issues with putting a leash on. Also, if the pet needs to be crated, that is certainly not an issue as well. Trust and safety are important values to me, and is something that will continually be reinforced for not only your safety but for mine as well.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! I have a dog of my own, and have grown up with big and small dogs. I take care of my sisters dog all the time, and he is a peppy chihuahua who I adore! I recently wrapped up a contract with Jazz Fest and am looking to fill my free time with something I’m truly passionate about. I’ve always loved animals, and I can’t think of a better way to spend my time than by helping and being around them! When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that mirrors the pet’s routine as closely as possible. I take time to learn each pet’s unique needs—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, favorite toys, or daily walks—and follow any instructions provided by the owner with close attention. For in-home visits, I’m respectful of the client’s space, maintain cleanliness, and provide regular updates with photos or messages to give peace of mind. My goal is always to build trust—not just with the pet, but with the owner as well—so everyone feels confident and at ease.

About: I’ve loved animals pretty much my whole life. I got my first dog when I was 15 and I’ve been taking care of him ever since. When I was 13, I’d walk dogs in my neighborhood for some cash, that was my first experience with working with pets. I’m very patient and forgiving which is what makes me a good dog sitter. I’m a full time student, I go to school Tuesdays and Thursdays but I am available every other day of the week and I work from home. I will be providing a caring experience for each of the dogs. I have a big fenced yard perfect to play in and a dog park just five minutes away from my house if the weather calls for it. I have family members who are also big animal people so there will be plenty of loving to go around.

About: I’ve always had multiple dogs in my household since I was little, so I’m very used to taking care of animals. Since I’ve moved away, I miss my dogs and other animals a lot, so I love pet sitting! I’ve watched cats, dogs, birds, and even chickens. I’m very on time when it comes to walk and feeding schedules (and bed times if that’s something you do). At home full time so I’ll have plenty of time for your babies! I’m also very organized with my schedule so if you have any preferences or restrictions for your pets, please don’t hesitate to let me know!

About: Starting at a very young age my family always had pets.. From dogs and cats to fish, bunnies, you name it! The past few years I’ve frequently sat for family members and friends.

Chat with me to go over needs/wants and how I can do my best for you and your pet(s)!

About: I’ve actually owned pets since the early 90’s as a child. However, my true pet ownership skills were pressure tested during hurricane Katrina (2005) when I was forced to evacuate with my pets. As any pet parent, I did everything I needed to do to ensure continuity of care for my dogs even during a time of natural disaster. I’ve owned many dogs all my life, mostly small and medium sized dogs but I also have experience per-sitting large dogs, too. After all - all pets need love! I’ve seen my animals go through all stages of life and I also have experience giving my pets their needed prescriptions and even feeding prescription pet food! Whether you need someone to check in on your furry family member or you need them to be taken for a walk, it would be an honor to serve you and your beloved furry family member. I love sending photographic progress updates to my fellow pet parents so they know that their furry ones are in great hands. I recently had two pets that crossed the rainbow bridge this year due to age and related issues. Therefore I do not have pets at present but I’m very familiar with the care of pets. I work full time for a healthcare company and I’m also a full time student almost done with my MBA in healthcare business. Typically I’m available most evenings after 4:30pm during the work week and weekends are much more open. I will always make sure my schedule availability is updated so that you know if I have a time slot available. I love communicating with pet parents and love it when the communication is reciprocated, it simply makes pet sitting so much easier. If you want me to do a check in or take your pet for a walk - I request that you provide instructions that are clear and easy to follow so I can give you and your pets the best service and care deserved. Out of consideration and safety for your pets, I will never bring my own pet treats unless I confirm with ahead of time to be observant of the nutritional variables for each pet. I request that your pets are current and up to date with their immunizations for both my safety and theirs.
