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!”
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.
“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.”

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 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 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.
“She definitely gave me peace of mind for my furbies!!!!! And also kept me informed of their needs beforehand so I could order anything if need be. Will definitely be using her again! P.s. she even took out the trash I forgot about before I left! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛”
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats and other animals. My wife and I have a passion for helping animals, and whenever we safely can, we rescue stray cats by providing food, shelter, and veterinary care until they are healthy or reunited with their owners or placed in a safe home. While I was stationed at Fort Polk, I often cared for fellow Soldiers’ cats while they were away on leave, during the holidays, or attending training. Since I stayed in Louisiana after buying my home, I was happy to help by feeding their cats, cleaning litter boxes, refreshing their water, spending time playing with them, and making sure they were comfortable and well cared for until their owners returned. I understand that every cat has a unique personality, whether they are playful, shy, or independent. I am CPR certified, dependable, physically fit, and committed to providing a calm, clean, and safe environment. I will treat your cat with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own rescue animals, so you can have peace of mind while you are away.
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.

About: I’ve taken care cats, dogs, and birds since I’ve been about 3 years old. I am currently a vet technician and I have 2 dogs and fours cats. They all get along together. I have a 60lbs husky and a 8lbs chiweenie who get along great and loves cats. I do offer nail trims and baths as well. I am very good at nail trims.

I’ll let you know how they are doing everyday, you’ll get a picture of them so you’ll be able to see for yourself that they’re having a blast. I work Monday- Friday 8-5. I get a lunch break from 12-1, and go home to let my dogs out to potty and get a little exercise before heading back to work for 1:30. I get off at 5 and go home and take care of my pets. I feed them all and of course let them out to go potty and get some exercise. I am off on the weekends, and I stay at home so it wouldn’t no problem to have a few fur babies over. I don’t have a new fence quite yet but I do walk the dogs frequently and let them play together inside and outside ,I have two dogs, two husky mixes who loves to play with other doggie. They both do get along with cats as I have 4 and my fourth one and my husky are absolutely the best of friends. I can go to a home if need be. I am vet technician. So I am well equipped to handle any kind of emergency situation. If your baby needs daily medications I know all the ways to give it safely. I am very good with nervous babies. I make sure that any pet that I watch does have their vaccines. If a Pet doesn’t have their vaccines then I will not watch them with other dogs. It would have to be in their home instead. I want to make sure everyone is safe. I do offer baths, and nail trims as well. I also offer a bit of grooming. Nothing professional but I can do simple trims, etc.

“I found Lori to be very caring. My cat, Kitty, had a bump on her head that was taken care off by a Vet just before I had her boarded. As you may think, Kitty was not very happy about wearing a cone around her neck.. Lori did a fine job with the Kitty. I am sure that Kitty will soon be her own self. I am taking her to see the Vet Wed.. Lori did the best she could and was very concerned for Kitties health. A very safe place to board your cat..”

About: Growing up on a farm, I have always had a passion for animals. My passion for dogs started with Cody when I was just 5 years old. He was a great mix breed dog who loved playing with frogs just as much as me. Throughout my life, I have cared for dogs of all sizes and various breeds. I have never not shared my home with a dog or 2 or 3. Currently, 2 Great Pyrenees and a dirt road dog fill my bed. I am also a stay at home mom to 4 beautiful children. This allows my schedule to be very flexible. I love working with dogs and would like to get back into this field. During high school, I volunteered and fostered for a local animal shelter. During college and 2 years after, I worked as a vet tech and dog groomer. My kids are 7 years old and younger therefore a flexible job that I can set my own hours is best to accommodate my family.
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.

About: All my life I have always had a furry friend and that love is more unique than any love you could get. One thing I live by is loving and treating every pet like they are my own and I have experience from new born puppies to helping with the needs of senior dogs/cats and everyday I am still learning. I am available most days out of the week as long as it is in advanced and can accommodate your needs. I’m available every weekend and holidays! I currently have 1 dog that lives with me but unfortunately will not be able to care for any at my own home. At your home I can work with whatever task you are given me and can be flexible if for example, told there is no fenced yard or if the pet needs to be kept outdoors. I will not be able to stay over nights but can care for pets as long as I need to!
About: I’ve taken care cats, dogs, and birds since I’ve been about 3 years old. I am currently a vet technician and I have 2 dogs and fours cats. They all get along together. I have a 60lbs husky and a 8lbs chiweenie who get along great and loves cats. I do offer nail trims and baths as well. I am very good at nail trims. Many people have relied on me to care for their animals. I have worked in professional places that do both animal care and boarding. I know the signs to look out for if needed. I have been medicating dogs and cats for the past three years. If any emergency was to rise then I know exactly where both emergency clinics are. I know that you’ll get the best care for your baby and that you’ll get updates daily from them. I’ll let you know how they are doing everyday, you’ll get a picture of them so you’ll be able to see for yourself that they’re having a blast. I work Monday- Friday 8-5. I get a lunch break from 12-1, and go home to let my dogs out to potty and get a little exercise before heading back to work for 1:30. I get off at 5 and go home and take care of my pets. I feed them all and of course let them out to go potty and get some exercise. I am off on the weekends, and I stay at home so it wouldn’t no problem to have a few fur babies over. I don’t have a new fence quite yet but I do walk the dogs frequently and let them play together inside and outside ,I have two dogs, two husky mixes who loves to play with other doggie. They both do get along with cats as I have 4 and my fourth one and my husky are absolutely the best of friends. I can go to a home if need be. I am vet technician. So I am well equipped to handle any kind of emergency situation. If your baby needs daily medications I know all the ways to give it safely. I am very good with nervous babies. I make sure that any pet that I watch does have their vaccines. If a Pet doesn’t have their vaccines then I will not watch them with other dogs. It would have to be in their home instead. I want to make sure everyone is safe. I do offer baths, and nail trims as well. I also offer a bit of grooming. Nothing professional but I can do simple trims, etc.

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!”

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.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs and other animals. While I was stationed at Fort Polk, many of my fellow Soldiers would go on leave, travel home for the holidays, or be away for training. Since I stayed in Louisiana and did not travel because I purchased my home here, I was often happy to help by caring for their pets. I would feed them, take them on walks, play with them, exercise them, make sure they had fresh water, and give them plenty of attention until their owners returned.
