Personalized care for your dog or cat - DeRidder

“Extremely friendly. Very responsive. I always feel safe when my best friend stays with her. My boy accidentally had gotten a small cut on his nose during his stay & she made sure that I was informed immediately. She applied ointment and sent me constant updates. Very grateful for my boy being in great hands while I was away.”

Jj J.

“I got updates on how my boys were doing throughout the week and they came back to me happy and healthy. Kristie asked me about their schedules and how we do things at home so they would be comfortable in their new environment. I would definitely book again for the next time I need to board.”

Briana K.

“We think Lily is absolutely amazing. She has that warm home-like feeling that we all want our pets to have when we are not with them. Thank you so much and we look forward to seeing you again soon”

Kristena W.

“Melanie was very communicative even before the boarding began. She even reached out to confirm if I would be ok with her boarding other dogs during my dogs stay and when I advised I was not ok with it, she was very understanding. Would definitely recommend your animals to stay in her care!”

Brandi G.

“Laura was great! She provided a safe and comfortable environment for our pup to both play and relax. She communicated well and provided lots of pictures while he was there. Thank you, Laura!”

About: I've been pet sitting since college and have cared for dogs with a variety of personalities, ages, and needs. As a medical student, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet while you're away. I have an AKC Canine Good Citizen certified dog who is truly part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. While I'm not an AKC-certified trainer, I have experience with obedience training and recently fostered and trained a dog from the ground up, helping them build confidence and good manners before finding their forever home. Although I'm not a veterinarian, my medical training has made me comfortable following medication schedules, recognizing when something seems off, and paying close attention to details. I know how important it is to notice changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, or mobility, and I'll always communicate any concerns promptly. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply having someone to cuddle with, my goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and at home while you're away. I am currently on clinical rotations so my schedule changes every 4 weeks. This is something I want to fit in when I have time because pets deserve the world. I will say I’m available unless I can provide your pet my full attention. I have a friendly dog at home who is comfortable with large and small dogs. He is very social. Although I don’t currently have my own yard my appartment had a beautiful dog park! My dog and I go on two walks a day rain or shine. If it’s summer and we go later than 8am I have him wear boots to protect him from hot pavement. I like to practice training with him and taking him to the dog park.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs almost my whole life. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. I’m great when it comes to routines. I also can bath and brush the dog if asked, I’m great with puppies as well as senior dogs. I work from home full-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I’m available most weekends and holidays as well. Whether your pet needs overnight care or just drop-in visits, I’m happy to accommodate both. I make sure they are comfortable and feel safe, I make sure they get plenty of love, I make sure I send pics of the kitty or doggy to there owners as I know how it feels going somewhere and having to worry about how there pets doing

I have learned the ins and out of all ages with these animals, and having a passion for making sure they are taken care of and always loved. For now, I pretty much have an open schedule! I do make time for my online schooling throughout the week, but other than that, I can easily make time to come take care of your animals. I have one dog, a puppy less than a year old who loves to play with other dogs, so if your pet stays at my home, they will for sure be taken care of.

About: I was late to the cat train but about 10 or so years ago I met my soul cat- an elderly cantankerous grouch of a cat- and decided that I could live on allergy meds for the rest of my life. I’m good with all ages of cats.

“Tory is great and takes wonderful care of our cats!”

About: I have been taking care of cats since I graduated college. I have experience caring for cats of all personalities, from playful and social to shy and independent. I can provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, administer medications if needed, engage in interactive play, and make sure each cat feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their family is away.

About: I’ve taken care of cats for the majority of my life. I currently have a 4 year old orange tabby that loves to play! I do currently have 2 dogs as well that doe great with cats. I am available for drop ins in Lake Charles, Westlake, Sulphur/ Carlyss, and Dequincy. I am also able to board if needed! I have experience with administering oral medications to cats and dogs and shots.

About: I live with my chow-mix pups, Cosmo and Gaia, and spend my days working with dogs of all kinds. My experience ranges from playful puppies to strong, high-energy breeds. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with nervous pups as well. Every dog is unique, and I adapt to their needs so they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m mostly available in the mornings! Some afternoons may be open as well, so please check my calendar for exact availability or send a request to discuss scheduling. Before booking boarding or daycare, please check with your vet! I always keep my two pups up to date on their vaccinations. Safety and trust always come first. On walks, I bring extra leashes just in case and carry treats to keep pups happy and focused. I also take photos during our walks so you can see their adventures in real time. For drop-in visits, I follow your routine closely—feeding, water, play, and potty breaks—and always send updates with photos. My goal is simple: your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for, and you feel at ease.

About: I am a huge lover of all animals! I have had a lot of experience with different types of dogs, cats and multiple types of small animals. I grew up with three small Schnauzers, and as an adult I have been the loving owner of a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois/Labrador mix, and a miniature Australian Shepherd. I also had the pleasure of taking care of an abundance of small animals such as bunnies, exotic birds, ferrets, etc. at a Rescue Ranch for small animals as a teenager. After moving to Fort Polk to be with my husband, I decided to work on a Diploma to become a Certified Medical Assistant, therefore I am home more often than not studying. Recently, I have discovered how much I love going on walks and playing with different kinds of animals. And even though I can’t have every pet in the world, I’m sure I can take great care of your pet. I can’t wait to meet/take care of your fur baby!🩷 I’m currently a full-time student from home, so I have a lot of spare time to manage and care for your pets needs I have a fenced in backyard as well as a large neighborhood to take your pet on a long walk if needed. Plus I love playing fetch and different kinds of enrichment activities with dogs

About: For the past 10 years I owned a pet boarding kennel. God had other plans for me, so I sold the kennels and decided to do something smaller. I love every minute I get to spend with different types of pets and learn their unique personalities. Over the years I cared for puppies and senior pets. I’m home 24/7 most of the time so I will be able to give you pet the full attention they need at all time during the day or night I have a fenced in back yard with plenty of shade area. I also have a pet play room with toys and beds included to make them feel right at home.
