“Mr. Leon was great, my 2 dogs looked like they were having a good time with the other dogs. They were a little thirsty when they got home, but that's understandable with more than 4 dogs in the house, they'd be urinating constantly. I will be definitely using Mr. Leon's services again!!!! Thank You!!!!!”
“Nicolette was great! Ari seemed to enjoy himself! He’s an only dog and we do not do doggy parks! Just outside walks so when he’s around other dog he gets a little to excited! She responded and sent pics. Thank you”
“She was amazing! She sent me pictures of her and my fur baby and my Diamond started getting attached to her! She kept me updated the entire 4 days and I will definitely be returning if I need care again. I was nervous because it was my JRT's 1st time boarding but she made it super fun and relaxing for her! Thank you so much”
“Jason did a great job watching our dog for the past 3 days! She got tons of play time cried when she had to leave. We are excited to book with Jason again in the future!”
“Mark was fantastic! I was in town visiting family that are afraid of dogs. Mark watched Cloud and provided pics of walks, which my pup enjoyed greatly. Knowing Mark will care for Cloud will make it so much easier for me to visit family in the future.”
“Savannah took in my dog on short notice, was very thoughtful to make sure to accommodate for special needs. Cricket looked very relaxed when I picked her up. Thank you Savannah!”
“Theo absolutely LOVES Janelle, we don’t know what she has haha but he goes crazy when we get into her apt complex and is always so happy in all of the photos she sends us!:)”
About: I’ve been caring for animals from a very young age, growing up on a farm where tending to a wide variety of animals was part of my everyday life. That experience gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and the importance of consistent, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve become comfortable working with dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies who require patience and structure, to senior dogs who benefit from a gentler, more attentive approach. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs and am confident in following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. I’m especially mindful with anxious or shy dogs, taking the time to build trust and create a calm, reassuring environment so they feel safe and secure. I am currently working full-time less than 5 minutes from home. I feed my dogs and let them out around 7:00 am before work. My husband is home with our dogs until 2:00 pm before he leaves for work. I arrive home around 5:00 pm and I spend most of my evening in the backyard if possible. I have a fenced in yard and a basket full of toys. I have 2 dogs of my own that enjoy playing with others, so your pet is sure to be in good company.
“Lauren was the perfect person to watch our two dogs. She was attentive, helpful, and gave them an awesome vacation while we were on our own vacation. We will be booking again 100%”
About: I have had and taken care of pets of all kinds (but especially dogs) since I was very young! I’ve had experience with puppies, young dogs, and older dogs, male and female. Even now I help take care of relative’s dogs and I love it. I feed, watch, walk, and make sure they’re happy! I stay in good shape and walk / workout every day, so I am able to handle larger breeds if needed! I live near LSU lakes which is a great place for walking, I usually go around the lakes when I go for walks, so I am familiar with the area well. It’s a great experience for people and pets! I’m pretty flexible and usually available for any activities! I am going to be taking 2 online classes this summer which requires me to be home, it works out well to watch some sweet pups! I do not have any dogs or cats within my home currently. Any pet works just fine to be inside or outside! The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all fairly large open spaces and connected together.
“Robin is amazing!! My Oso instantly loved her and ran right into her home, I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She had so many toys for him to play with and even sent us home with a couple! You can tell she is an animal lover and will care for your dog as her own! Absolutely recommend & will be contacting her for dog sitting in the future.”
“Molly was absolutely incredible! She has a clean, safe, and loving environment that made me feel at ease the moment I arrived.My cat was very comfortable and happy while he was in her care. She kept me updated on how he was adjusting and sent me pictures and videos daily. She has been my favorite sitter thus far and I can tell my cat really loved being with her while I was away.”
“Keith was awesome! Only second time leaving our 3 YO Jack Russell “Barney” with anyone, first time with a stranger. He has always slept with us ( I know I Know) and I wasn’t sure how that would work out. Turns out Barney enjoyed sleeping with Keith’s pack and made it through the night. We will definitely board with Keith again.”
About: I have grown up raising pets of all kinds. I have many years of experience with animals, owning multiple cats and dogs. Not only that, but I am familiar with many different breeds of dogs, ranging from labs and german shepherds to bassets and pugs. I know how to take care of and have fun with any pet. I am currently in school so I'll have plenty of time to watch your babies after school and on weekends. I am currently available from 2:30 to 10 on weekends and 5 to 10 on weekdays. I have a fenced yard with grass and plenty of space for your pups to play. They would be allowed in any part of my house, so you don't have to worry about them being cooped up in the winter.

“My first time using this service and Taylor has me spoiled already! Seriously, she took care of everything, great communication and reliable. I highly recommend her, I will be requesting her services in the future. Thanks Taylor!”
“Awesome as ever. Kacey watched out two cats while we were gone for 10 days. She’s super reliable, respectful of the house, gives great communication and is great with the cats. Will keep rebooking!”
“Jordan did a great job taking care of my 4 kitties and feeding them twice a day + litter scooping. She followed all my instructions perfectly and sent informative notes and photos after every visit. She's a very busy lady, so a somewhat flexible time-schedule from the pet owner would probably be the best fit, i.e. "morning" instead of 8am on the dot. I really appreciated her help!”
“Yuli was beyond amazing! Communicative, reliable, and super friendly. She let me know about any concerns going on at home as well as sent pictures and updates abt my baby. Couldn’t recommend more!!! Book her!”
“Johanna was wonderful. She was caring, responsible, timely and took great care of cat. She is not usually comfortable with strangers, but took to Johanna immediately. That is the best recommendation I can think of.”
“Savannah was amazing in taking care of my cat, Kitty! She sent daily updates with adorable photos and videos and can see that Kitty is well entertained and happy. She’s very detailed oriented and asks all the right questions to make sure Kitty’s needs are well taken care of. Savannah is a true cat whisperer, highly recommend!”
About: As someone who has worked with a variety of domesticated felines, I’ve learned that the last thing a cat wants is a sitter. Lol. Most just want someone who can scoop their box and open their can of food. I’m a professional in that area. I’m also good at reading kitty behavioral cues. I can usually tell if a feline is going to be my friend or not. I know when to give them their space. I’ve watched kitties who are social and some that are shy. I’m pretty good with a laser and always enjoy playing with or sitting with a sweet cat or cats. I can also prepare special diets and give insulin shots. The Kitties always train me well!
“Molly is the best!! If you are hesitant to leave your pet with a stranger, there’s no need to worry with her! I had a last minute trip and hated to board my cat while being gone for multiple days (she is a social girl and hated it when I had to for one night). I can’t leave my cat at home, so I needed to find her somewhere to stay. I tried Rover out after knowing a few people that have used it and Molly was the perfect person! She sent me lots of pictures (which I loved) and was so flexible on timing! I think my girl had the best time with her and I will definitely be using Molly in the future when she is available! Thank you again!! :))”

About: Hello, I’m Nick, and caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve raised my own dogs and have experience fostering, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and needs.

I live in a private neighborhood that is very animal friendly, along with a yard for your pet to run and play in. I have ensured my entire home is pet friendly and safe for your pet.
“Robin was wonderful! So responsive and communicative. I have never used a dog sitter before but I felt very comfortable leaving my puppy with Robin in her home. She sent photo updates frequently and sent my puppy home with some goodies. We loved Robin!”
“Lauren was amazing with Woody!!! She kept me updated with pictures and videos throughout the day, which showed Woody having a fabulous day. I know Woody is looking forward to staying with Lauren and her family again. It definitely makes my heart rest easier knowing he’s in good hands when I’m not home. ❤️”

I have experience with many breeds and all ages. Having two rescues myself I am also comfortable with rescue dogs who may need more time to warm up and trust you.

My partner and I both love all dogs, especially larger breeds. We are experienced in basic leash and command training, basic medication administration, and house training. We firmly believe you can never have too many dogs around and would love to host your furry family member while you are away! We have a cat named Mitties who keeps to herself and tolerates her brother Lincoln as well as his friends who visit. Lincoln has never met another pup he didn't like. He loves to play and wrestle but also knows when it's time to give his friends space. He has regular interaction with dogs of all sizes and adjusts his play style accordingly. We are available for most weekends, and most weekdays from a week-to-week basis. Isaac works from home and is almost always around during the day to supervise! Dogs can be crated if needed over night or while we are away. Our dog Lincoln does not use a crate, however, so it is not necessary if your dog doesn’t usually use one either.

About: I grew up with a Yorkie and now care for him in his senior years with doggy dementia, which has taught me the importance of patience, gentle routines, and creating a calm, comforting environment. Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays I get out of class for 11 and am free for the rest of the day. Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little tougher for me due to my classes being scattered throughout the day. I enjoy taking them on walks, giving them baths, playing with them, cuddling with them, feeding and taking them out, and just having an emotional support animal around me!

While I cannot house a dog in my own home, I am able to crate your dog, play with them, stay with them, and enforce rules all the while using my best judgement in doing so.
“Christina did a wonderful job with my dog, Jackson! She is very kind and attentive to his needs. She took time to come over before the walk and meet with him to make sure they were both comfortable. She did a great job of keeping me updated and sent the best pictures. We can't wait to continue having Christina for walks!”

Regularly engage in exercise and playtime to keep the pet physically and mentally stimulated. Lastly, administer any required medications or treatments as instructed, while also keeping a close eye on the pet's overall well-being and promptly informing the client of any concerns or changes in behavior.

About: My name is Remy and I am currently wrapping up my second year at the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine. I am set to graduate with my DVM in 2028. Before entering into vet school, I graduated with my bachelors degree in animal science (2023) and went on to get my Masters in Public Health (2024) with aspirations to work as a dual degree DVM/MPH professional. I have worked as a veterinary technician for about 3.5 years and I have experience with administering extensive care and medication to animals of all ages. I am a fear free certified professional meaning that I am trained to alleviate fear, anxiety, and stress in your pet. I currently live at home with my beautiful wife, 2 dogs, 1 cat and our one year old son. I would love to care for your pets as if they are my own! I will begin vet school in August and will have free time in between classes, mornings, and afternoons to care for animals. My schedule will be flexible and I am willing to communicate far in advance with any changes. I treat your home and pets as if they were my own. I will use my best judgement when caring for your pet and always consult you about anything regarding your pets health, condition, or your home!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes for nearly 8 years. I have experience training puppies, providing engaging playtime, and taking dogs on safe, enjoyable walks. I’m passionate about making sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I’m currently in school until around 1 pm, but I am available anytime after that. I can also do morning drop ins before 11am if needed! I’m happy to crate dogs if required, or stay with them for extended periods to provide companionship and play. I can handle feeding, bathing, and basic grooming. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

“Mr. Leon was great, my 2 dogs looked like they were having a good time with the other dogs. They were a little thirsty when they got home, but that's understandable with more than 4 dogs in the house, they'd be urinating constantly. I will be definitely using Mr. Leon's services again!!!! Thank You!!!!!”
“Mark was fantastic! I was in town visiting family that are afraid of dogs. Mark watched Cloud and provided pics of walks, which my pup enjoyed greatly. Knowing Mark will care for Cloud will make it so much easier for me to visit family in the future.”
“Savannah took in my dog on short notice, was very thoughtful to make sure to accommodate for special needs. Cricket looked very relaxed when I picked her up. Thank you Savannah!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals from a very young age, growing up on a farm where tending to a wide variety of animals was part of my everyday life. That experience gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and the importance of consistent, attentive care. Over the years, I’ve become comfortable working with dogs of all ages and needs—from energetic puppies who require patience and structure, to senior dogs who benefit from a gentler, more attentive approach. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs and am confident in following detailed care instructions, including administering medications when needed. I’m especially mindful with anxious or shy dogs, taking the time to build trust and create a calm, reassuring environment so they feel safe and secure. I am currently working full-time less than 5 minutes from home. I feed my dogs and let them out around 7:00 am before work. My husband is home with our dogs until 2:00 pm before he leaves for work. I arrive home around 5:00 pm and I spend most of my evening in the backyard if possible. I have a fenced in yard and a basket full of toys. I have 2 dogs of my own that enjoy playing with others, so your pet is sure to be in good company.
“Lauren was the perfect person to watch our two dogs. She was attentive, helpful, and gave them an awesome vacation while we were on our own vacation. We will be booking again 100%”
About: I have had and taken care of pets of all kinds (but especially dogs) since I was very young! I’ve had experience with puppies, young dogs, and older dogs, male and female. Even now I help take care of relative’s dogs and I love it. I feed, watch, walk, and make sure they’re happy! I stay in good shape and walk / workout every day, so I am able to handle larger breeds if needed! I live near LSU lakes which is a great place for walking, I usually go around the lakes when I go for walks, so I am familiar with the area well. It’s a great experience for people and pets! I’m pretty flexible and usually available for any activities! I am going to be taking 2 online classes this summer which requires me to be home, it works out well to watch some sweet pups! I do not have any dogs or cats within my home currently. Any pet works just fine to be inside or outside! The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all fairly large open spaces and connected together.
“Robin is amazing!! My Oso instantly loved her and ran right into her home, I felt very comfortable leaving him with her. She had so many toys for him to play with and even sent us home with a couple! You can tell she is an animal lover and will care for your dog as her own! Absolutely recommend & will be contacting her for dog sitting in the future.”
“Molly was absolutely incredible! She has a clean, safe, and loving environment that made me feel at ease the moment I arrived.My cat was very comfortable and happy while he was in her care. She kept me updated on how he was adjusting and sent me pictures and videos daily. She has been my favorite sitter thus far and I can tell my cat really loved being with her while I was away.”
“Keith was awesome! Only second time leaving our 3 YO Jack Russell “Barney” with anyone, first time with a stranger. He has always slept with us ( I know I Know) and I wasn’t sure how that would work out. Turns out Barney enjoyed sleeping with Keith’s pack and made it through the night. We will definitely board with Keith again.”

“Our dog Marley tends to be anxious in new situations since she was a shelter dog, but seemed comfortable in Amanda’s home the moment we walked in for drop off. It made me feel much better about leaving our newly adopted girl for over a week! She sent updates and pictures often while we were on vacation. Would not hesitate to use Amanda again for future dog sitting and will recommend her to my friends!”
About: I grew up with a Yorkie and now care for him in his senior years with doggy dementia, which has taught me the importance of patience, gentle routines, and creating a calm, comforting environment. Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays I get out of class for 11 and am free for the rest of the day. Tuesdays and Thursdays are a little tougher for me due to my classes being scattered throughout the day. I enjoy taking them on walks, giving them baths, playing with them, cuddling with them, feeding and taking them out, and just having an emotional support animal around me!
