“I couldn’t imagine a better experience with Candy and her family! She did a great job of making our dogs feel right at home and keept us updated everyday through the many photos and videos. I’ll definitely be using her again next time we need to go out of town! I highly recommend her for anybody who wants to feel confident in leaving their fur babies while on vacation.”
“Alysha was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Gucci. She was extremely patient, kind, and attentive, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Gucci takes a little while to warm up to new people, but she took the time to make him feel comfortable and cared for. It was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them with compassion. I am so grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated sitter.”
“Kimmy and Michael are amazing! Nion is really shy and doesn’t like other people often, but they managed to get him to like them. They sent many photos of him playing and were super helpful. I would definitely recommend them!”
“Susan loved our 14yo Lucy for a full week! She also worked with me at the beginning of our reservation when our plans changed, and I’m very grateful for that. I will definitely be using her again.”
“Vanessa did a fantastic job watching our dog over the holidays. We had peace of mind the entire time and received pics of our dog being spoiled daily. Would highly recommend!”
“Brianna took great care of our fur babies and sent lots of pics/videos to keep us updated daily! She cared for them like they were her own. I would highly recommend her to sit/care for your own.”
“I boarded my dog with Megan & Jaime for the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was warm and welcoming, and she made my dog, Taj, feel right at home. Her house is beautiful and has a huge fenced-in yard—perfect for dogs to play and relax safely. She even sent me a photo of Taj lounging in the yard, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Taj even came home with a new toy! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving place to board their dog!”
“Louie seemed happy and well taken care of when we picked him up from his stay. I’d be comfortable bringing him back to Allyson. You can tell she cares about animals and their wellbeing.”
About: Your pets aren't just guests; they are family. As a Veterinary Technician, I provide a level of care similar to having a pediatric nurse watch your children. My journey began at 18 as a bather and kennel tech, but my passion led me to work alongside some of the most skilled veterinarians in the field. Following the loss of my children’s father, Justin, I found myself at a crossroads, needing a career that allowed me to be there for my kids while still honoring my calling to work with animals. This led to my current mission: opening my own boarding facility in memory of Justin and my beloved rescue dog, Elsie, who stayed by my side from the day I met him until just days after his passing. When you trust me with your 'fur babies,' you aren’t just getting a sitter; you’re getting a professional dedicated to their health, happiness, and safety. I promise they’ll be wagging with joy the moment they hear my name!" I am currently not working due to conflicting hours with my children's school schedule. Therefore, I am flexible with pet sitting hours outside of school pickup/drop off times. As a person who has worked in animal health for a long period of time, safety is my main priority when it comes to your pet. I have done it all, from bathing pets to assisting in surgery. Your pet will always be in safe hands with me.
“Karyn is so kind and considerate. She was very enthusiastic and attentive when watching my dog, and she sent a lot of updates, which was much appreciated. And her dog was great with mine. Would definitely have my dog stay with her again.”
“Zoe was fantastic! It’s very obvious that Zoe loves pets, .. and birds.. and squirrels. It’s an animal oasis! I was so very pleased to see the care and love she gave to my sweet pup Clover. I highly recommend Zoe and when you bring your sweet pup to her, you too will be writing a great recommendation!. Great care should be recognized! 🐾”
“Tenashia was super sweet and cared for my little guy super well! I was nervous to board him the first time but the photos and updates put my mind at ease! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to book.”
“Heather was very nice and patient with my spoiled babies. I was a bit concern about them with their reaction to her large dogs. But she assured me they were ok and wouldn't be left alone with them. so that calmed my nerves . Heather was really nice. I book her again .”
“Roger was amazing, he took great care of Rico. I get a little nervous, when I leave Rico at a sitter, but I was extremely comfortable. Roger was great, hopefully he will always be available, when we go out of town. 5star”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs growing up as well as lots of other animals! I often dog sit for my siblings and love having them. I like my home to feel like their home with little adjustment. I work at 5 am and come home for lunch and am back home by 12 and am home for the rest of the night. I live right by my job and they are very flexible with me. I love being home in the evenings and having someone to take walks with is ideal! My apartment is open to pets, furniture included unless specified. I will happily keep pets off your furniture if needed. I take regular walks with a leash for exercise to make up for the lack of hard at my house.
About: I've been blessed to foster more than 20 dogs over the past couple of years. I know training basics, have a big backyard, and currently have two of my own dogs who love to play. I am currently not working so I am free the majority of the time. This allows there to be little to no crating required during the day. I have a large fenced in backyard for free play and zoomies. Inside I have dog beds and toys and a lap for cuddling. My two dogs are friendly and have had plenty of exposure to other dogs through my fostering.
“We recommend Laurie to anyone that ever asks about a pet sitter. Our boy loves his “vacations” at Laurie’s. We have never been able to leave him and feel 100% sure he’s in good hands enjoying his time other than with her. She also sends pictures and videos often!!”

Cat caregivers near you - Henderson
About: I didn’t choose the cat life, the cat life chose me! I may have been late to becoming a cat person, but now I’m completely obsessed! My third “child” is an orange cat that I bottle-fed from the time he was just one day old. My family found four tiny abandoned kittens, and I fed them every two hours around the clock even bringing them to work with me so they never missed a feeding. We ended up keeping one, and you can’t convince me he’s not my baby. I also have a soft spot for stray cats. We have several around my workplace, and I’ve made it my mission to win them over (whether they like it or not! 😂). Whether your cat is playful, shy, independent, or wants all the cuddles, I’ll respect their personality and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’ll also send plenty of photo updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is in good hands.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a long time. I am always someone to count on to take care of your furbabies needs. With my love and attentive care I think I would be a great fit for any of your pet needs. I am currently a home school senior in high school ,so I am completely open to any of your pet needs throughout the day. I am available 7 days a week!! I usually like to keep my animals indoors in crates or free depending on the preference and take my animals out plenty times throughout the day. I am also located not even a minute away from a park where I like to go walk my dog.
About: I’ve been caring for cats for most of my life and have experience with cats of all ages, from young kittens to senior cats. Growing up, my family always had cats, including both indoor and outdoor cats, which gave me a strong understanding of their unique personalities, behaviors, and care needs. Over the years, I’ve provided drop-in visits and overnight pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. My experience includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, administering medications, playtime, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand that every cat is different—some are social and playful, while others prefer a calm, quiet presence. I take the time to learn each cat’s routine and personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. Whether your cat needs extra attention, medication, or simply a reliable caregiver, I’ll treat them like one of my own.
““I’m so grateful for the wonderful care she provided for my cat, Gracie. She was always on time, dependable, and truly attentive. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter and will absolutely use her again.””
About: I’ve been caring for cats my entire life and have experience with cats of all ages, personalities, and needs. From playful kittens to senior cats, I understand the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I’m familiar with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, administering basic care, recognizing changes in behavior, and giving each cat the patience and attention they need to feel secure. I genuinely love being around cats and treat every one as if they were my own, making sure they receive plenty of care, affection, and companionship while their owners are away. 🐾💛
About: I have been around dogs of all sizes. My dogs are both over 55 pounds and full of energy. I can handle any energy level as well. I look forward to working with you and your dogs in the near future! I am a full time behavior tech at an ABA clinic. I work 8:00-3:30 Monday thru Friday, but am free any other time of the week. I am willing to take care of your babies in your home! I provide a loving environment and will love them like I would my own.
About: You're furr baby is safe with me! Having a veterinary technician pet sit your pet is like having a pediatric nurse babysitting a baby. I have always had a love for animals, but I began my career with animals at 19 as a bather/kennel tech for a groomer in Youngsville. i decided to take my passion further and worked along side some of the most amazing Veterinarian's. Due to losing my children's father, Justin, it has become challenging to find a job working with pets due to conflicting hours with my kids school. So now I am on my journey to opening up my very own boarding facility in memory of him and my dog, "Elsie", who I rescued when I first met Justin. She ironically passed away days after him. In the meantime, caring for pets in any way is my passion. Your pet/s will be filled with joy when you say my name to them.
“Tessa came to check on my pets at the precise times I needed her to; on top of that, she was a very consistent communicator while I was away! I’m glad I booked with her and look forward to doing so again 🖤 10/10 recommend”
About: I’ve grown up with 2 English bulldogs my whole life. I work at a dog daycare with every breed and size imaginable. I love animals I work park time at my dog daycare facility. But if you message me in advance I will make you and your beautiful pup my top priority! I currently do not own a pet but I always had my English bulldogs following me around my parents house so I’m always aware of my surroundings and making sure I didn’t step on them
About: I provide top of the line animal care for all domesticated pets. I'm most comfortable with dogs and cats, but there isn't anything I can't handle. I have pet sat for many different families for about 6 years. I love giving endless affection to each pet and love to exercise with them. It is very important to me to know the routine for each client and try to make this experience as comfortable as possible. I used to run a dog care facility, The Dog Stop, which includes boarding, daycare, and grooming. I'm properly trained in this field of work. I have worked in the veterinary medicine field going on 6 years now as a veterinary nurse. I am trained in both a general practice setting and emergency room care for pets as well. I attended both SLCC and UL in Louisiana to pursue my degree in Animal Science. I personally own a 7 year old black male house cat named Xander, and two young and very loving female mixed breed dogs! I am currently working full-time as a veterinary nurse at Urgent Veterinary Care in Austin, TX. I have also worked at PAZ veterinary clinic in Austin, TX as a veterinary nurse. I started off my veterinary technician career in Lafayette, LA at Lafayette Veterinary Care Center over 4 years ago. I am always looking for ways to spend more time doing what I love which is caring for fur-babies! I will cater to any and all needs necessary for each individual client. I am very comfortable with any at home therapeutic treatments, medications, training, dietary restrictions, etc.
About: Ever since a kid animals have always fascinated me ! I loved playing and watching them grow as if they were my kids (which our pets are). I’ve watched dogs for coworkers and even friends , though the time was short many of the animals enjoyed their time with me being their sitter! I look forward to creating a special bond between me and your pet . Ensuring they feel safe and loved is what’s most important. Catering to your kiddos specific needs is what I do best . Whether it’s long walks , toy fights , or long baths , I’m down for the ride ! The world is such a beautiful place because of our animals why not love and cherish them .
About: What sets me apart is that i really take the time to understand each cat’s personality. I don’t force interaction, if your cat wants space, they’ll get it. if they live okay or affection, i’m all in. i’m calm, reliable, and keep things consistent so your cat stays comfortable while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and cared for.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Henderson
About: As a pre-veterinary major at Southern University and A&M I have gained experience in vet clinics working with dogs and cats. I have taken care of my friend's and families dogs and cats on multiple occasions. I will ensure that your pets get the love and attention they need while under my care. Looking forward to hearing from you! I'm currently looking for work in animal care and this is a way to become even more familiar! I have a surplus of free time while out of university for the semester, so I will be able to take care of your pets any time. I currently do not have pets of my own, but often take care of animals for others. My patience, attention to detail, and passion for animals will ensure I give the best care possible!
“Gabrielle was amazing. Jake had a great time hanging out. I will absolutely use her again next time I'm in town. I was so fortunate to find her close to where I was going to be! Thank you again 💙”

I am also located not even a minute away from a park where I like to go walk my dog.
About: I’ve been drawn to dogs, horses, cats, and pretty much any animal with four legs (well even the ones that only have 3 limbs and are rescues) since I was little. I’ve never not had some sort of rescue dog. I am used to taking care of special needs and making sure animals get lots of attention and love. I am asked by friends and neighbors to take care of walking, feeding, and loving their pets while away. I haven’t met a dog/cat that I haven’t fallen in love with. I am also available to walk your dog daily. I stay at home with my father who is 80 years old in a four bedroom house. Your pet will get round the clock attention with frequent exercise, petting and feeding with your schedule requests. Your pet will be very loved and well taken care of. I am also experienced with special needs with medications or modifications that you may have. Your animal can spend time in the house and I also have a large fenced in yard. If an indoor pet your animal will have their own room (I have two extra bedrooms). If you prefer they can sleep in my room on pet pillows. I will take your pet on walks and they will also have a large backyard to explore. My dog (Copper) will stay with my father if I am going to your home. Light housekeeping and meal prep are available if needed for an additional fee.
About: I have raised and trained two puppies and I have also been a pet sitter for several families, caring for pets of all ages. I love to care for animals and provide them with lots of attention. I currently have a puppy who is very playful and she will be a great playmate for any dogs that like to play. I am happy to accommodate any special needs that your dog may have, and I enjoy taking dogs on walks if they like that. My schedule is generally pretty open for doggy daycare and boarding. I have a lot of availability but the days and times that I am available vary week to week. I am a massage therapist working part time out of my house, so when on a day that I have clients coming I will not be taking dogs. I am almost always available for overnight boarding. I have a fenced in yard and a puppy of my own that will give your dog company and entertainment. I am happy to take your dog on walks, feed and play with them, and give them snuggles if they like that.
“Thanks for everything Susan! Buddy had a great time and came back exhausted. My fur baby means the world to me and I needed someone who would take care of him like me. We will be making more appointments in the future!!”

About: I am experienced with training and caring for dogs, and have experience watching and caring for cats, rabbits, goats, horses, chickens, ducks, and various birds.

About: Hi! I'm Maria, a lifelong animal lover and your trusted partner for safe, fun, and loving pet care. For over a decade, I've been the go to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. I understand that every pup has a unique personality, and my goal is to make them feel as happy and secure as if you never left. Why choose my home for your dog's stay? · A Safe, Spacious Haven: My house features a fully fenced, secure backyard with plenty of room for zoomies, playtime, and sunbathing. It's a true dog-friendly domain! · Active & Attentive Care: I believe in tailored care—whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer needing long walks and fetch sessions, or a cozy senior who prefers gentle strolls and plenty of couch cuddles. · A Stress-Free Environment: I provide a calm, clean, and pet-only home (no children), ensuring your dog receives my full attention and doesn't feel overwhelmed. · Constant Communication: You'll receive regular photo and video updates, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is having a great time. I treat every guest with the same love, patience, and respect I'd want for my own pet. Let's connect, I can't wait to welcome your best friend for their very own vacation. I work 4 to 6 hours a day; the rest of the time, I am at home. I always take them out to the yard before I leave, and I make sure they have food and water. When I return, I take them out to the yard again, and we go for a walk, following our established routine. They usually stay indoors, except for morning and evening walks and bathroom breaks in the fenced yard, which last approximately 30 minutes, three times a day. The dogs eat according to a schedule set by the owner, and they have the freedom to move freely around the house and lie down wherever they want. I have a medium-sized mixed-breed dog who usually ignores other dogs and sometimes plays with them if he likes them.
“Very communicative, they sent pictures a few times and they were very accommodating! They have a big yard and my puppy got to play outside a lot! I would definitely recommend them.”
About: Hi, I’m Simone. I love all animals, big and small and in-between. Animals love me as well! I’m patient and have dealt with a variety of animals in my life time, from long hair cats to domestic short hairs, to large breed dogs down to small, toy sized breeds. I am an active person and currently walk my own dog 1-2 times a day, so walking other people’s animals is right up my alley. I also enjoy spoiling and loving on all types of animals, cats and dogs alike. I look forward to opening my house and providing services for whoever may need them! I look forward to working with and meeting all my new animal friends! I can’t wait to work for their humans either. Hope to hear from you soon!

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve loved animals. I dreamed of becoming a veterinarian, took two years of veterinary classes, and even worked at a veterinary clinic as my first job. Life took me on a different route but I never stopped loving animals. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether they need a walk, playtime, fresh food and water, medications, or just lots of love and attention. I’m also the person who stops for every stray animal (my husband has had to remind me we can’t keep them all! 😂). I have 3 dogs, 2 cats and a gecko at home. Most of them are strays so jokes on him! As a wife and mom, I understand how important it is to know your loved ones are in good hands. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and send plenty of photo updates so you know they’re happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I do work full-time, so I offer pet care before and after work, on days off, and during my available hours. This isn’t just a side job for me, it’s something I love and brings me happiness. Since I’ll be caring for your pet in your home, I always strive to keep their routine as normal as possible. And I think communication with you is key!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for most of my life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Growing up around animals and pet sitting for friends and family from a young age gave me a strong foundation in providing safe, reliable, and loving care. I have experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, including feeding, walking, administering medications, and providing companionship while owners are away. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I take pride in following instructions carefully to help pets feel comfortable and secure. As the owner of a reactive and anxious Labradoodle and a strong-willed Golden Retriever mix, I have firsthand experience working with dogs that require extra patience, awareness, and positive reinforcement. I’m familiar with clicker training techniques, leash reactivity management, and creating calm, positive experiences during walks and visits. Whether your pet needs exercise, attention, medication, or simply a friendly face while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same care and respect I give my own pets. I’m currently working part-time so I’ll have time for early morning or evening drop-ins during the week and open availability on weekends. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand the importance of following routines, administering medications correctly, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. As the owner of an anxious, reactive dog, I’m experienced in handling pets who need extra patience and attention. I will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect I give my own, and I’ll keep you updated throughout every visit for added peace of mind.

During those 14 days I am available at all hours and will be home. In my own home I have a large area that is not fenced in, but own several long leads to allow dogs to run around. I am willing to work through training requirements as well as providing exercise to keep them entertained!
About: I've loved animals my whole life. I've raised puppies and cared for senior dogs and everything in-between. I enjoy volunteering as a pet transporter for animal rescues. I own my own cleaning business. So pet sitting fits into my schedule perfectly. Some homes I clean and pet sit for as well. I love what I do. I have 5 senior cats so I prefer to care for pets in their own homes. I'm always working in different towns so this works best for me. I am trustworthy and have references.

About: I provide top of the line animal care for all domesticated pets. I'm most comfortable with dogs and cats, but there isn't anything I can't handle. I have pet sat for many different families for about 6 years. I love giving endless affection to each pet and love to exercise with them. It is very important to me to know the routine for each client and try to make this experience as comfortable as possible. I used to run a dog care facility, The Dog Stop, which includes boarding, daycare, and grooming. I'm properly trained in this field of work. I have worked in the veterinary medicine field going on 6 years now as a veterinary nurse. I am trained in both a general practice setting and emergency room care for pets as well. I attended both SLCC and UL in Louisiana to pursue my degree in Animal Science. I personally own a 7 year old black male house cat named Xander, and two young and very loving female mixed breed dogs!

“I couldn’t imagine a better experience with Candy and her family! She did a great job of making our dogs feel right at home and keept us updated everyday through the many photos and videos. I’ll definitely be using her again next time we need to go out of town! I highly recommend her for anybody who wants to feel confident in leaving their fur babies while on vacation.”
“Alysha was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Gucci. She was extremely patient, kind, and attentive, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Gucci takes a little while to warm up to new people, but she took the time to make him feel comfortable and cared for. It was clear that she genuinely loves dogs and treats them with compassion. I am so grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated sitter.”
“Kimmy and Michael are amazing! Nion is really shy and doesn’t like other people often, but they managed to get him to like them. They sent many photos of him playing and were super helpful. I would definitely recommend them!”
“Vanessa did a fantastic job watching our dog over the holidays. We had peace of mind the entire time and received pics of our dog being spoiled daily. Would highly recommend!”
“Brianna took great care of our fur babies and sent lots of pics/videos to keep us updated daily! She cared for them like they were her own. I would highly recommend her to sit/care for your own.”
“I boarded my dog with Megan & Jaime for the weekend, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was warm and welcoming, and she made my dog, Taj, feel right at home. Her house is beautiful and has a huge fenced-in yard—perfect for dogs to play and relax safely. She even sent me a photo of Taj lounging in the yard, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Taj even came home with a new toy! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving place to board their dog!”

About: Your pets aren't just guests; they are family. As a Veterinary Technician, I provide a level of care similar to having a pediatric nurse watch your children. My journey began at 18 as a bather and kennel tech, but my passion led me to work alongside some of the most skilled veterinarians in the field. Following the loss of my children’s father, Justin, I found myself at a crossroads, needing a career that allowed me to be there for my kids while still honoring my calling to work with animals. This led to my current mission: opening my own boarding facility in memory of Justin and my beloved rescue dog, Elsie, who stayed by my side from the day I met him until just days after his passing. When you trust me with your 'fur babies,' you aren’t just getting a sitter; you’re getting a professional dedicated to their health, happiness, and safety. I promise they’ll be wagging with joy the moment they hear my name!" I am currently not working due to conflicting hours with my children's school schedule. Therefore, I am flexible with pet sitting hours outside of school pickup/drop off times. As a person who has worked in animal health for a long period of time, safety is my main priority when it comes to your pet. I have done it all, from bathing pets to assisting in surgery. Your pet will always be in safe hands with me.
“Karyn is so kind and considerate. She was very enthusiastic and attentive when watching my dog, and she sent a lot of updates, which was much appreciated. And her dog was great with mine. Would definitely have my dog stay with her again.”
“Zoe was fantastic! It’s very obvious that Zoe loves pets, .. and birds.. and squirrels. It’s an animal oasis! I was so very pleased to see the care and love she gave to my sweet pup Clover. I highly recommend Zoe and when you bring your sweet pup to her, you too will be writing a great recommendation!. Great care should be recognized! 🐾”
“Heather was very nice and patient with my spoiled babies. I was a bit concern about them with their reaction to her large dogs. But she assured me they were ok and wouldn't be left alone with them. so that calmed my nerves . Heather was really nice. I book her again .”
“Roger was amazing, he took great care of Rico. I get a little nervous, when I leave Rico at a sitter, but I was extremely comfortable. Roger was great, hopefully he will always be available, when we go out of town. 5star”
About: I’ve had multiple dogs growing up as well as lots of other animals! I often dog sit for my siblings and love having them. I like my home to feel like their home with little adjustment. I work at 5 am and come home for lunch and am back home by 12 and am home for the rest of the night. I live right by my job and they are very flexible with me. I love being home in the evenings and having someone to take walks with is ideal! My apartment is open to pets, furniture included unless specified. I will happily keep pets off your furniture if needed. I take regular walks with a leash for exercise to make up for the lack of hard at my house.
“We recommend Laurie to anyone that ever asks about a pet sitter. Our boy loves his “vacations” at Laurie’s. We have never been able to leave him and feel 100% sure he’s in good hands enjoying his time other than with her. She also sends pictures and videos often!!”
“Abby graciously accepted our booking request and provided a warm, loving home for Bear while we were out of town for the week. Leaving our boy behind is never easy, but Abby, Eli, and their pups made it so much easier. We knew Bear was in great company and would be well cared for. We received several updates and photos throughout the week, and it was clear he quickly made himself at home. More importantly, he looked comfortable, happy, and encouraged to do so. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was being treated like part of the family. We wouldn't hesitate to book with Abby again!”
“Thank you so much for caring for our pups while we were on our cruise. I can tell our dogs loved the time they’ve spent with you all. I also appreciate the updates and pictures while we were away. I fully recommend your services to anywho you is in need of dog sitting. Again, thank you so much.”
About: I have loved dogs all my life. I’ve not been without one for as long as I can remember. It brings me joy to see happy animals of all kinds. I have even befriended the ducks that live along the bayou of my home, to the point where they eat out of my hand. Rest assured that my love for animals will bring you comfort knowing that your pet will feel as loved with me as if you were right there with them. I currently work full-time, which is why I can only keep dogs on the weekends. However, I work just one block from my home so I get to check on my dog everyday at lunch. It’s my favorite part of my work day! Therefore, I can accommodate your pet during a weekday but that would mean your dog may have to stay in a kennel for up to four hours at a time until I can come home for lunch. I get off at noon on Fridays and off weekends so weekends are when I can spend time with your dogs. Dogs in our home can come in and out as they please because we have a doggy door. We have a fenced in yard where dogs can go to the bathroom or sunbath in the back anytime they want. They can also sleep on the couch because we have covers over the furniture. Anytime that we cannot have eyes on them for a period of time the dogs will be separated by a barrier or kenneled.
