“Exceptional communication! Very understanding for last minute hardship situations and took in our boy last minute. Ozzy seemed to enjoy his stay as he came back a happy boy!”
“Super responsive and sweet! She sent us updates with photos every single day, and even when my dogs were anxious and having difficult moments (like getting off the leash!) she was patient and kind, always updating and accommodating! Thanks Megan 😁❤ will be recommending her to all my friends!”
“Page was great!! She made Apollo feel extremely comfortable and treated him as her own. He even made a few friends during his stay!! I highly recommend Page…and I definitely trust her to take care of my boy!!”
“Krizza was absolutely amazing with Storm! From the moment we picked her up, we could tell she had been loved and well cared for. She had such a great time that she was genuinely sad to leave because she had made new friends. That gave us so much peace of mind knowing she felt safe, happy, and comfortable while we were away. We truly appreciated the care, attention, and welcoming environment Krizza provided. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, we highly recommend her. We'll definitely be booking with her again!”
“My two cats spent a long weekend here and it's the most comfortable I've ever been with leaving them somewhere. They seemed to have a good time from the updates and pictures I got. Would highly recommend Alaina to anybody!”

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I just moved to the area and have already experienced a lack in options for pet care while we were trying to move in. I thought I could offer a service for anyone else in the same situation. I would love to host your pet and will treat them like family while they are here. I live on 5 acres your dogs can play until their little hearts are content. I am a full time homesteaders and will be home almost all the time. I wake up early (5am) and go to bed early (9pm). I will always be here with your pet. I do have a small fenced in yard for dogs. The property is cacooned in trees on a small hill. If your dog requires leash walking I don't mind that either. They will be in an air conditioned space at night that is just off the house, that's where my dogs stay at night also. They will be kennelled at night for their protection. Mine are also kennelled.

“Brianna did a good job checking on my two kitties. They are not very sociable and would not give her a chance to pet on them, but she stayed the full amount of time I asked her to and tried to give them some companionship. Their food and water bowls were clean as was the litter box.”
“Emily was awesome and came when I requested. I was a little worried about my kitty being responsive to someone new but Emily was able to make her comfortable and play with her. I was able to enjoy my time off and not worry about my kitten. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have a degree in Animal Science and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of animals—not just dogs and cats. I regularly house sit for families with dogs, cats, horses, pigs, ducks, cows, and chickens, so I’m very comfortable managing different care routines and environments. I have experience with puppies, including basic training, leash walking, crate routines, and positive reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may need medications, mobility support, or extra patience and attention. My education allows me to recognize changes in behavior, health, and comfort levels, and I take a calm, knowledgeable approach to animal care. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to following each owner’s instructions closely. Above all, I genuinely love animals of all kinds and care for every pet as if they were my own. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets I care for. I’m also currently saving money for a big trip at the end of the year, so I have lots of availability and am happy to dedicate my time to giving your pets the attention, exercise, and care they need. Because of this schedule, I’m able to accommodate regular potty breaks, walks, feedings, medications, and check-ins and adjust my routine to match each pet’s needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I intentionally plan my days around the animals I’m caring for. I truly enjoy spending time with the animals I care for. Pet sitting isn’t just a responsibility for me—it’s something I genuinely look forward to. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and building trust with them, whether that’s through playtime, walks, quiet companionship, or barn chores. The time I get to spend with them is one of the best parts of what I do, and I treat every pet with patience, affection, and respect.
About: I have had cats my entire life, all of whom have had vastly different personalities. I’ve owned cats, fostered cats, and just kept cats for the weekend for many years now. I own a 17 year old cat, and she is the world to me, so keeping cats safe, healthy, and happy is very important to me.

About: I’ve had the privilege of being born into a dog family. Dogs are more than a pet, or even a man’s best friend- they’re literally family. I might argue that they receive better treatment than family, but they’re too cute not to! While every single person in my family has a dog, I unfortunately do not. My family lives in St. Louis, MO and I live in Ruston, LA for school. But there’s no denying I miss my dogs. I think this opportunity would allow me to fulfill that void and take a load off your list. A win/win scenario! (I’m also on a 10k/day step journey so this would make it less boring!) I have experience with all sized dogs and different breeds ranging from Rottweilers, Poodles, English Bulldogs, Maltipoos, Shitzus, Maltese, Mix Breeds and more. I can do short walks around the neighbors or longer walks on a trail which I have a seasonal pass to Lincoln Parish Park. I have a full SUV with covered seats to accommodate your baby! I currently work from home and also am doing school online so my schedule is extremely flexible and what I make it to be. I can work from anywhere if need be so it’s never an issue for me. In my clients home, I would make sure I play it by their book and carefully review their instructions. I will also work on gaining the dogs trust by giving it extra love, cuddles, and attention so they can familiarize themselves with me.
