“Anna was the perfect person to care for our girls. Puppies are hard. Two puppies are even harder but she Rocked it. I wrote instructions for her and she followed them to the ‘T’ even using our ‘command words’. She even set in the floor cuddling them during a storm to calm her fears I will definitely use her again.”
“Regan was very accommodating and so sweet to our dog! She was excellent at keeping us informed on how he was doing, and he loved playing with friends during his stay, and having a home full of dog lovers! Will be using again!!”
“This was our first time using a sitter for our Peanut. Lauren scheduled a meet and greet before our trip to see how the dogs got along. All went well at the meet and greet. During Peanut's stay, Lauren sent numerous pictures and updates. We will definitely use again!”
“Kristen was amazing! We felt we could trust her right away after our meet & greet, and plenty of much-appreciated updates and pictures made us feel Zag was in great hands the whole time we were gone. Was always responsive both leading up to the booking as well as during. It's a stressful situation using Rover for the first time and leaving our beloved pup in a stranger's hands, but we couldn't ask for a safer and happier home to provide for our dog in our absence..”
“If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would! Tyler is amazing! I received constant updates and pictures. He was very flexible with me and my flight times. River ripped open her favorite toy and Tyler even got a replacement. He also compiled a bunch of pictures and videos on a thumb drive for me! We did a meet and greet prior to the drop off day and Tyler asked all the important questions. I immediately felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with Tyler, and will always go to Tyler as my first go-to if available. I cannot thank him enough for taking such great care of River!”
“Jes and her husband took exceptional care of my two dogs while I was away. They truly went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Jes kept me updated with plenty of pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She is incredibly knowledgeable about dogs and was attentive to their individual needs, making sure they received the best possible care. I could tell my dogs were loved and treated like family.”
“We booked with Lindsey last minute after an unexpected change of plans. Lindsey was so accommodating, she adjusted her schedule to meet our needs! Lindsey treated our lil guy like a Prince. She was very attentive to his needs and habits. Lindsey kept us updated with pics and texts and a doggy report card :). Overall great experience! Lindsey is AWESOME! A true lover of fur babies, for sure! Thanks for being so sweet! We will definitely call on Lindsey for future needs!”
About: I am an experienced dog watcher, I worked in a vet hospital as a kennel tech and managed puppy playgroups with 50 plus dogs. As well as managed the boarding and grooming stations for almost 2 years. My background is in Biology I got my B.S in 2015 and my Bachelors in Nursing in 2019. I have a large fenced in back yard with a little pool for the dogs. Boarding will be inside. I have an in-home camera system and 4 separate boarding rooms. If you prefer, I can come to you! I have excellent references and can even provide leash training for those excited pups. I volunteer with the SPCA, NOLA and Jefferson Parish. I cant wait to meet your pup or cats, lets not forget the kitties!! Talk soon! I’m currently working from home so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet. We’re going to have a great time and will be able to meet any special needs your pet may require to feel comfortable and taken care of while you’re away. I have a fenced yard, a spare room for boarding. I have plenty of time to spend with your pet and will make sure all needs are met and your pet is comfortable and safe while you’re away. I stay in contact and will be happy to update you on your pets stay.
“First time boarding my dog, but Sawsan was great! She put us at ease and sent a ton of pics and videos. Anytime we contacted her, she responded right away. My dog Gus was sad to leave!”
“Holly is AMAZING! We went on a ski trip for Christmas and she watched Luca (our beagle) for 6 days. She sent updates and pictures and Luca had a ton of fun. When we arrived to pick him up I don’t think he wanted to leave. If you need someone to watch your dog I Highly Recommend Holly and I definitely will be booking her next time we go on a trip and can’t bring the furry family with us.”
“Brittany was outstanding watching my pup, Abby. I got regular updates, pics, and videos of her daily activities. Abby had such a good time she didn't want to leave. I highly recommend Brittany!!!”
“She was great with Penny! Friendly and understanding, she took care of Penny as if it was her own pup! She checked in with me and sent pictures of Penny. It was such a relief to have Penny in a calm place while I was on vacation I will absolutely use her again!”
“Marisa took care of King like he was on vacation himself! They went on walks, went to the dog park and to get snowballs. She sent tons of photos the whole time and I knew he was being well taken care of! I would highly recommend Marisa to watch your pet!”
About: I’ve been very hands on with dogs for years, including raising and caring for my own pitbull, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes especially larger, high energy dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading a dog’s personality and body language. I can also help reinforce basic habits like potty routines, leash manners, and calm behavior for younger dogs. I treat pets like they’re my own and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for instead of just “watching” them. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and adjust to what they need, whether that’s extra playtime, reassurance, structure, or space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m consistent with routines and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I provide a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and always supervise pets during walks, playtime, and interactions with other dogs. I also have a smart camera in my home so I can keep an eye on pets if I step out briefly. For added safety and comfort, pets can be kenneled if needed or preferred by the owner.
“Bobbi is a wonderful young lady and she and her mother took great care of my senior dog. She is knowledgable about separation anxiety and made sure to keep my old baby calm. She texted me daily with a photo and updates. This greatly helped my separation anxiety.😊 I would recommend Bobbi to anyone that needs to board their dog.”
“My 2 poodles had a stay for the weekend, I was nervous since this was their first stay but Rachel assured me everything will be fine and it definitely was! One of my dogs got a small injury when dropping off and she was quick to jump into action and take care of it!! She kept me updated with daily pictures throughout their stay. My babies have a new best friend with Raven and can’t wait to go back!! I highly recommend her and her services & will be using her for future stays!!”
“Ms. Karen is a super sitter, my dog is special because I think she has social issues. I know she gave Ms. Karen a difficult time, but Ms. Karen was patient and caring . She stuck with Lola and carried the mission through. She's a real trooper. I really appreciate her kindness and patience. I would recommend her , Ms. Karen to everyone. She is the best!”
“Megan was great with my fur babies….she sent amazing pictures and videos of every interaction with them.. she allowed to feel at home and comfortable…I totally appreciate her and the affection she showed my babies…Mega n is the best thanks so much”

Cat caregivers near you - Sun
About: I grew up on a farm, had lots of dogs, cats, and all sorts of other animals to care for. As an adult, I’ve had quite a few cats, and I’m the current owner of three small dogs. I am currently working from home. Travel once a month. So I have plenty of time to check on the babies, play with them outside, and give them occasional treats. I have a fenced in yard that is designed for small dogs, a large dog would likely jump over. But it works great for the small dogs, plenty of shade, plenty of grass. And in the house, I have an abundance of pet beds, and blankies.
“Cannot say enough great things about Alyssa’s care for Luna while I was away! She sent plenty of pics and vids of my girl for each of her check-ins, and it really helped me feel better being away for several days like I was. Great service! Would definitely book again!”
About: Cute storyyy: I was on the back road home in Bush and happen to see something very tiny, but also a huge lifted truck that hurried and stopped. I didn’t know what it was. I just know it was tiny and seemed like it didn’t know what to do or where to go so I saved it. Poor baby, it was a black kitten with a white cross on her chest, and her eyes weren’t opened yet. I don’t think she even knew what she was because next thing you know she’s on my shoulder, the smallest little parrot ever! Well Nova is what I had named her, and I can say I’m beyond thankful for our family friend that took her in, spoiling her, and giving her not just an amazing home but the best older fur sibling and family! Nova is definitely something special!💜
About: I’ve worked at a homeless animal shelter for 10 years and owned my own animals my whole life. I’ve handled every kind of animal under the sun! And can’t wait to love your pet like they are my own!
“The service process was easy and Anna provided great communication and attended our pet's needs perfectly. We will be definitely use this service again and request Anna for her services.”
“Kristin is the best cat sitter ever!!! Our cats loved their stay with her so much!! She pampered our babies and treated them so well. Sent videos, pictures, & updates everyday while we were on our trip. I 100% recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again for all future trips.”
“Alexa has been everything we needed in a pet sitter! It was our first time away on an extended vacation, and my nerves and guilt were through the roof! It didn’t take long for me to see how much my cat adores Alexa and was doing perfectly fine without us. AND! We’ve received some of the best pictures of our cat that we’ve ever had! Thank you, Alexa! As long as you are available, we will always book you.”
About: Cats are my absolute favorite animals, aside from having my own cats over the years i’ve always been drawn to strays, fostering and even bottle babies. I absolutely adore cats and cat sitting is one of my favorites!
About: Since I was five we’ve had cats. My first cat was a mean black tux named binx. I loved him with a passion and he’s now resting after about 14 years. Today I live with my three angels biscuit,peanut, and jam. They’re six I got them around 4-6 months old and they’re the sweetest. I always wonder why but not to sound shameless I think they’re so loving bc I raised them with love.
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats, the occasional hamster, growing up. I love animals! I’m from the south and have come across all types of puppies (including gator pups) I have no problems in gaining new friends :) I am currently free lancing in artistic endeavors and having a friendly pet would help with the time I’m at home needing a little company and a less… talkative version than human conversation! I love animals and have experience with all types! (I’m from Louisiana so I mean ALL types) including the senior doggies ;) I have a closed in front patio with a little nature-esque ground for quick potty breaks and just to sunbathe when the need arises. I take walks often and live in a neighbor hood away from a busy strip so I can keep pets safe and exercised!
About: I have have been caring of all types of animals since I was 7+ years old. I have taken care of new born puppies, kittens, raccoons and reptiles of all types throughout my life and I love it!! If I could cuddle a gator I would!!! I have also done whelping services for many family members. I have done a lot of fostering and bottle feeding both puppies and kittens. I’m currently working only for Rover. So I can dedicate all my time to your fur baby and his/her needs and the loving care and schedule you want for them. However I am instructed to. I am there to make you and your pet comfortable while away. It can be stressful for pet and pet parents when they are not together. I try to keep your pets schedule as similar to what they are used to with you. Feeding/ walking/ playing/ sleeping/ waking up will all be as close to their normal schedule as possible. Their comfort is my first priority.
“Loralei took good care of my two senior dogs for an extended weekend. She followed the detailed instructions I left and kept me updated after each visit. It was my first-time using a dogsitter who wasn’t a friend or family. So I really appreciated how friendly and patient Loralei was with both me and the dogs. I will definitely reach out to her if I need a dogsitter in the future.”
About: Caring for cats isn’t just a job for me—it’s a passion. I understand that every feline has their own personality, from playful kittens to independent seniors, and I adapt my care to their unique needs. Whether it’s providing gentle companionship, playtime, or ensuring a stress-free environment, I prioritize their comfort and well-being. I have experience administering medications, handling special dietary needs, and keeping litter boxes spotless for a happy, healthy kitty. With patience, reliability, and a love for all things feline, I provide the care and attention your cat deserves while you’re away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Sun
“Victoria was very sweet and responsive. I felt very comfortable leaving our pup with her for the day. Thank you for all of the updates! They helped us remain at ease :) Thank you again for keeping Quinn safe and letting her run around in your backyard!”
“I was nervous to leave my quirky dogs with a stranger, but Tyler quickly put my pets and me at ease. He took the dogs on a walk early on, to make them feel at home. He has a large, secure backyard, that the dogs loved. He let the pets be part of his day and provided good feedback about the pups. Thanks Tyler!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up with horses taught me responsibility, patience, attention to detail, and how to confidently care for animals with different personalities and needs. In addition to horses, I have experience pet sitting for dogs and cats throughout high school and beyond for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m also a proud dog owner to my dachshund, Pockets, who I absolutely adore as well as my two horses Jessie and Seven and my three miniature ponies, Lloyd, Peaches, and Peanut. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or dependable daily care, I treat every animal like they’re my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know what it means to be on vacation and know that your animals are in trusted hands, that piece of mind can make your trip so much more enjoyable and I’m here to make that happen! I have a flexible schedule and offer plenty of time, attention, and care for your pets! Since pet sitting is something I do alongside my post-grad career search, I'm available the majority of the time and can often accommodate different schedules. I do compete professionally in rodeos, which may occasionally have me out of town on some weekends, but | keep my calendar updated and communicate early so scheduling is easy and reliable. Your pet's comfort and routine will always be my top priority while they're in my care. I have a fenced-in yard and experience caring for animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to horses. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, i'll tailor my care to their needs, personality, and routine. I'm happy to spend the extra time needed to keep things familiar for your pet while you're away.

“Sawsan took great care of Maddie! She was super flexible with booking changes and sent frequent updates. She made my nervous pup feel comfortable around the other dogs, and I could tell how much she bonded with her in a few short days. Thank you!”
About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.

About: I’ve had my family dog, Princess, a Pomeranian-Papillon mix, since I was four years old. I was the one who named her, and she’s been my best friend ever since. I’ve cared for her through every stage of her life, from a playful puppy to now as a senior dog, so I understand that pets have different needs as they get older. Senior pets have a special place in my heart, and I’m always happy to give them the extra patience and love they deserve. As a college student, I’m home during school breaks, which means I have a flexible schedule and lots of time to dedicate to your pet. I’m also available during holiday breaks! During the academic year, though, I’ll be inactive while I’m away at college, so I only accept bookings when I’m home. I usually only take one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so they’ll get lots of one-on-one care and won’t have to compete for attention. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, and I ask that owners provide their pet’s food, medications (if needed), favorite toys, and any other essentials. If I’m caring for a cat, I’ll also need their litter box, litter, and other supplies. Communication is really important to me. I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates, and if you’re missing your pet, I’m even happy to FaceTime so you can check in. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart.

During the academic year, though, I’ll be inactive while I’m away at college, so I only accept bookings when I’m home. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I share my home with my senior dog, Princess. She’s older, independent, and usually keeps to herself, but I’ll always make thoughtful introductions and make sure everyone is comfortable. I only accept one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so I can give them my full attention and closely monitor their interactions. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I’ll always make sure water is fresh, the environment is clean, and your pet feels safe and comfortable. If I ever notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away so you can have peace of mind.
About: I’ve been a dog and cat lover for as long as I can remember and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. My goal is to make your furry family member feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I live on a spacious half-acre lot in a quiet neighborhood, giving dogs plenty of room to run, explore, and play. My home features a large doggy door, so your pup can easily go outside whenever they want. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, belly rubs, or simply lounging around, they’ll receive plenty of attention and care throughout their stay. I share my home with Jake, my friendly yellow Labrador Retriever. He’s very laid-back, loves other animals, and is happy to welcome new friends. To provide a calm, personalized experience, I only accept one client family at a time. This means your pet won’t have to adjust to a house full of unfamiliar dogs and will receive my full attention. For everyone’s safety, I have young children in the home and can only accept dogs that are friendly and non-aggressive around people and other animals (no pitbulls or pitbull mixes). I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I am home most of the week. I also have two kids that are animal lovers. I’m able to adjust to whatever routine your pet is used to. My kids have learned to respect animals’ boundaries. Your pet will be enjoying the comforts of being inside or outside of the house and get lots of attention.
“Amber was truly the best person to leave my sweet puppy with for the day! She kept me updated through text with pictures and videos throughout his entire stay, she invited me in when we arrived to give me the assurance of knowing where he would be for the day. Her home was very clean, tidy, and she was inviting to make me more comfortable. My anxiety about leaving him for the day was immediately relieved. Do not hesitate to let her care for your pets!!”
About: I have a standard size golden doodle and he is so affectionate so i know how it feels to leave your dog somewhere but here my goal is to provide the best at home care for your doodle/poodle.

Hypoallergenic and friendly dogs only.

“Sheldon had a happy time with Lindsey and her pet family. It was easy to schedule, she sent several photos and updates, and would definitely recommend her and schedule with her again. Thanks Lindsey!”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals. I’ve cared for my families dogs as a child, and my own dogs when I got older with the addition of my daughters dog. I’ve always had a mutual connection with them and cared for them like my own children. I’m all about enriching the lives of pets and their families by providing excellent pet care, peace of mind, trust and security. Nurturing the inseparable bond between a person and their 'furbaby' by enriching their relationship with love. I have a pretty open availability schedule and will try to accommodate your requests to the best of my ability depending on timing and distance. I currently do not have any dogs at my house, so they can enjoy all my attention and playtime. I also have a nice backyard that they can play and run around in. When doing a dog service at the pets home I like to get familiar with them so they can feel comfortable and be their usual sweet selves!
About: I work from home during summer months. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including feeding, walking, basic care routines, and ensuring their safety and comfort. I am comfortable with: * Small, medium, and large dogs * Feeding routines and medication reminders * Leash walking and basic behavior management * Maintaining clean and safe environments And providing photo updates throughout your stay! I am fully available throughout the summer and have flexible daytime and evening hours. I am home most of the day, so I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care as needed. I can also adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine. One dog lives in my home and I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine closely and ensure a calm, supervised, and secure environment.
About: Hey y’all, I’m Holly! I’m a full-time dog sitter, boarding host, and obedience trainer living the farm life just outside the city. About 15 years ago, I traded the hustle and bustle for more space, privacy, and a dog-centered lifestyle—and now my partner Isaac and I have built our home around exactly that. We offer boarding and daytime playgroups in a secure, home-based setting with the amenities you’d expect from a large boarding facility, but with the comfort, attention, and personal care of a private home. Our farmhouse sits on a securely fenced acre, giving dogs room to safely play, explore, decompress, and enjoy their stay. Dogs are truly life here. In addition to boarding and training, I serve as the Program Director of a New Orleans-based dog rescue specializing in high-medical-need dogs. Because of that, I’m very comfortable administering medications, injections, fluids, specialty diets, and handling dogs who need extra patience or experience. I also have trusted veterinarians on speed dial should anything urgent ever come up. I have extensive experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from feral strays and high-drive working breeds to seniors, puppies, tiny Poodles, nervous dogs, and everything in between. Baths, light grooming, crate routines, structured play, and special care instructions are all no problem. Basic obedience training packages are also available for dogs who could use a little extra polish during their stay. You're welcome and encouraged to take a look at our reviews - we pride ourselves on giving stellar care! If you’re looking for a safe, experienced, dog-savvy home where your pup will be treated like one of our own, we’d love to welcome them! I board dogs professionally from my home, so caring for them is part of my everyday routine — not something I squeeze in around another job. During the day, I run supervised playgroups in our secure yard and rotate dogs based on size, age, energy level, and personality. High-energy dogs get room to play, seniors get a calmer pace, and shy or sensitive dogs are given time to settle in comfortably. Everyone receives structured playtime, potty breaks, meals, treats, rest time, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day. Our farmhouse sits on 3.5 securely fenced acres, tucked away from busy streets and set up with dogs in mind. This is a dog-centered home with plenty of space, toys, enrichment, and safe areas for both play and rest. Dogs are always supervised and thoughtfully matched with appropriate playmates. I take introductions, group dynamics, feeding routines, medications, and individual needs seriously so every dog can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for during their stay.

About: I grew up on a farm, had lots of dogs, cats, and all sorts of other animals to care for. As an adult, I’ve had quite a few cats, and I’m the current owner of three small dogs. I am currently working from home. Travel once a month. So I have plenty of time to check on the babies, play with them outside, and give them occasional treats. I have a fenced in yard that is designed for small dogs, a large dog would likely jump over. But it works great for the small dogs, plenty of shade, plenty of grass. And in the house, I have an abundance of pet beds, and blankies.
About: I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet! I have a deep love for all animals, but I have the most experience with dogs and some cats as I’ve been pet sitting since a young age. I’ve had dogs and cats as pets my entire life. I’ve also helped raised three litters of puppies. I work full time Monday through Friday, but I am off every other Friday and get home early afternoon on the Fridays that I do work. I am free most Saturdays and Sundays based on my calendar availability. Book me for your next long weekend! I currently work full time 30 minutes from my home. My work schedule is 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. I have every other Friday off so I do have availability for 3 day weekend care every other weekend! On the weekends, I typically stay in besides errands or the occasional going out to dinner. I have a large fenced yard for your love bug to enjoy. I also have two dogs (one large, one small) and a cat to keep your fur baby company! If necessary, I have four bedrooms to keep the animals separated.
About: I have grown up with dogs of all kinds but specifically medium to larger dogs like labradors, huskies, and German shepherds. I have been dog sitting ever since I was 14. Family, friends, and others. I have experience in dog sitting, walking and running with them, feeding, and bathing them as well. I have helped take care of many puppies and senior dogs too! I am a college student so I am pretty much free anytime outside of class which is generally anytime before 9 and after 4. I have multiple breaks throughout the day though, so I can walk, feed, or just check in on the pups when needed. I usually just ask how my clients interact with their dogs and do the same. Like where the dogs are allowed to go in the house or outside of it, any command words that they use often, how often they need exercise, etc. I have a lot of experience with different dogs and different dog owners so it looks different depending on the household.
“Anna was wonderful with my dog Aurora. They went for a walk around my neighborhood. Aurora is a very large dog and Anna did a great job maintaining and handling her. Aurora is still smiling after her walk. I will definitely ask Anna to walk Aurora in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of and lived with dogs and cats my entire life. I currently own five cats and one dog. I’m very good with them. I work from home in Covington so I have a very flexible schedule. I work for a radio station in New Orleans as a producer. I can work from anywhere as long as I have my phone and an Internet connection. I will make sure that your pet is safe and well taken care of.… Making sure not to let them get away or come to any harm. And of course having fun!
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have years of experience caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up with horses taught me responsibility, patience, attention to detail, and how to confidently care for animals with different personalities and needs. In addition to horses, I have experience pet sitting for dogs and cats throughout high school and beyond for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m also a proud dog owner to my dachshund, Pockets, who I absolutely adore as well as my two horses Jessie and Seven and my three miniature ponies, Lloyd, Peaches, and Peanut. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or dependable daily care, I treat every animal like they’re my own and strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know what it means to be on vacation and know that your animals are in trusted hands, that piece of mind can make your trip so much more enjoyable and I’m here to make that happen! I have a flexible schedule and offer plenty of time, attention, and care for your pets! Since pet sitting is something I do alongside my post-grad career search, I'm available the majority of the time and can often accommodate different schedules. I do compete professionally in rodeos, which may occasionally have me out of town on some weekends, but | keep my calendar updated and communicate early so scheduling is easy and reliable. Your pet's comfort and routine will always be my top priority while they're in my care. I have a fenced-in yard and experience caring for animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to horses. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, i'll tailor my care to their needs, personality, and routine. I'm happy to spend the extra time needed to keep things familiar for your pet while you're away.

Also have experience for pets with any medical or special concerns. Just finished caring for Frenchie with seizures. I am only working part time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs. My schedule is flexible and I’m free during the weekends. I have a fenced in backyard with two friendly dogs. My neighbor’s dog is also fenced in, but she comes over to play every now and then.
About: I’m calm, reliable, and great with all types of pets. I pay attention to the little things such as routines, comfort, and making sure every visit feels like home. I’m transitioning out of my full-time job, which means I finally have the flexibility to focus on something I truly enjoy like spending time with animals! Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I love filling my days with walks, playtime, and furry company. Pets in my home get treated like family! I have a large fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for safe playtime and plenty of room to run. I currently have one sweet boy named max and a long-hair chihuahua on the way. I’ve also cared for birds like cockatoos, so I’m comfortable with a variety of animals.
About: I’ve taken care of animals all of my life I’m good at bathing them and following feeding instructions! I love dogs the most and I get along with all of them! I am currently enrolled at Pearl River Community College so pet sitting on weekends or over night works best right now! I love dogs the most and I understand their body language well! I follow to do lists very well. I understand dogs social ques when they are uncomfortable or stressed or when they want outside. I’m good at making sure they are comfortable and I don’t push myself onto them. My family has a lot of dogs so I understand them very well!

About: I have a love for all animals, as a child growing up I have always wanted to be a Veterinarian Assistant. I began doing foster care for dogs in 2020 after doing this for a while I felt a much greater need to help even more. I began my own dog rescue in 2020. I walk, play, love and care for each animal. I have rescued and rehomed several dogs to safe and loving homes. I treat them as if they were my own. The unbreakable bond between pets and their people is something that will forever warm my heart! I’m currently working part time. I’m available after work and on my off days. Just message me and we can make things work! I’m more than happy to help! I have three fur-babies of my own and they love to run around and play outside, there is 7-acres of land, and the best part is not by any main roads, it’s private. I also walk my dogs or let them play inside with some toys. Depending on your pet and your instructions for your pet, I’ll make sure that your pet and you as well feel comfortable with things. If it’s a client’s home then whatever instructions are given I’ll make sure to go by!
About: I am a calm caregiver who is great with anxious dogs and rescue pups! I have 6 years of experience with senior dogs (large and small), medication administration, and special diets. I am currently self employed, making my our schedule. I am able to build my schedule around your pets’ needs, whether that is during the week day or weekend. When petting sitting at clients homes, I make sure to leave the house just as clean as when the client left. I believe it is important to treat others homes and animals with the respect and care of my personal home and pets.
“I was so lucky to find Alyssa, my schedule changed on short notice and she responded immediately to my booking request. We had a call before the visits and my Benny loved her! She did such a great job with my stubborn but very sweet senior pup! I highly recommend her and look forward to future bookings!”
About: Animals have always been the center of my world, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to care for just about every kind of pet, from bouncy puppies and cuddly kittens to gentle seniors who just need a little extra patience and love. I also have experience with training and even dog showing, which taught me the importance of consistency, communication, and building trust with every animal. More than anything, I believe every pet deserves kindness, attention, and to feel like part of the family, so when they’re with me, that’s exactly what they’ll get. I am currently working part time and have some extra time to offer my services that i haven’t been able to recently. I only work a few hours mid day so i can take on just about any animals! My pets are already a huge part of my daily life from feeding, training, walking, enrichment etc. I can offer personalized care for each pets specific enrichment needs! I have a fenced in yard with safety latches for as much safety as possible. I live in a safe calm neighborhood with amazing neighbors.My whole house is designed around animals. We have a specific dog room and a cat room with safety gates etc to keep pets separate if needed and we have multiple wire kennels. We also have car kennels for safe traveling to any activities your pets would like!
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. They love me and I treat them as if they are my own child. I have three Australian shepherds and they are my whole world. They are so energetic and keep me active so being active with your dog is no problem. I am available any time as I work from home with a flexible schedule. I’ll be able to give your baby my full attention. Just let me know when you need to look after your baby I love taking dogs for walks or even car rides. Love playing fetch or whatever your dog enjoys doing. I also have a crate to crate your dog in if needed.
About: I’ve always adored pets since I was young. I’ve had many in my life from cats,dogs,and rodents. I know animals are equal beings that need treatment with special accommodations. This requires patience which is almost unlimited for me.i currently have three cats that I’ve owned since they were 3-4 months old they’re now 6. I just got rats a few weeks ago they’re girls 6-8 months old. I believe everything follows a routine dedicated to them and I have no issue aligning myself to these routines. I’m still finishing high school at the moment and I have a job. But besides managing those I’m available weekdays after 4 if I’m not scheduled to work, weekends any time I keep my babies inside as much as possible. They’re allowed to free roam outside since they’re used to that lifestyle from before. They wear flee collars, jam is allergic. I cleanse them with daily grooming and anima safe wipes or soap if necessary. They’re fed 2-3 a day with half a cup or less of cat food I do plan to change their diets eventually. When it comes to other people’s pets I treat them with nothing but love and care and always stay considerate of whatever the owner says I should know about that animal. I’m extremely against cruelty brand products so I will avoid associating or using them.
About: All the Doggies sleep with me in my bed! They are allowed on furniture & anywhere they’d like to be comfortable. I worked for Companion Animal alliance in Baton Rouge working with dogs & cats as a caretaker. I mobile groom for people around the Livingston parish area & I’m well known on the nextdoor app. I have a bunch of references! I am very passionate about your fur babies & one day will open up my own business building for grooming/boarding & as new clients you would be adding to my fund for that. It has been my life long dream to accomplish this one day & I am going to keep working towards that. I want to expand this business into something much bigger & for people to feel at ease with leaving your babies in the care of someone who will love them unconditionally. All you have to bring for your baby is their dog food/cat food. I have dog/cat bowls, leashes, toys, puppy pads, litter boxes, litter, cat toys, cat/dog beds, ( I supply dog treats ) I do not put the babies in kennels unless instructed to do so by you if you bring your own. At bed time I put on relaxing music for the dogs to calm down & sleep, heating pads for cold nights, lots of blankets & beds. Any of their comfort items I would suggest bring with them. I do live in a new trailer, lots of room for your babies to roam & play! non smoker. I have experience with large dogs to small dogs, senior dogs & ones with bad anxiety or kennel aggressive ect. I also have experience with birds, especially parrots. I know how to handle in any situation when it comes to different behaviors from animals. I am also pit bull friendly 💕 The babies I board/doggy daycare have FREE ROAM. Which means they can go as they please anywhere in my home, they can sleep with me or they can sleep on the couches or their beds, but If you prefer your baby in a kennel at night, I will respect your wishes. I only have one kennel designated just for that.. You will receive lots of pictures/videos & updates to the point where it may be a little annoying but you’ll never have to text me first checking on them. I give them lots of love! I stay home everyday with the babies, so they will get all of the attention they need. The night before pick up/drop offs, I do give them a bath, each one no matter what. I can pick your dog up or drop them off, I have never had an issues with any dogs fighting, running off or accidents. I am VERY experienced in RUNNERS, the ones who wait for you to open the door to escape. Never had a runner succeed in getting away. I can clip your babies nails & give them a little trim if need be free of charge. If your dog needs medication I can administer it to them at the times needed. Prozac, prednisone, insulin, antibiotics ect, I’m familiar with all.

I can manage 5 at a time ( leashed ) I do have a fenced in yard with a doggy pool, it’s covered & has pet turf. Lots of room for your baby to play!! This is what I do for a living! I eat breathe & sleep doggies. I stay home full time & when I say full time it’s me & the pups home everyday. I LOVE & taking care of your 4 legged sweetie pies, when you book with me it will allow me to continue to care for the fur babies & accomplish my life long dream to open up a bigger place to care for more. 💕 I truly appreciate repeat customers, but with inflation the way that it is, the cost of gas being so high, I had to make the difficult decision to raise my prices up to $2 more since last year. I understand if you choose to look elsewhere for services, but I hope that you choose to continue to use me. & for new clients ❤️ I have a small male dachshund that gets along with animals & kids very well! I am 100% committed to your pets to make them & you comfortable with my services. I treat my clients babies just like I would my baby!
About: Patience and empathy are a major part of my approach to animals in general. I have realized that these beautiful creatures respond well to me because my love does not come with any strings. I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Kameha and a cat named Sushi. They are my world. Sushi's mother was a stray cat and not in good shape. I helped her heal and she ended having Sushi and several other kittens. Kameha was rescued from a bad home and she had worms as a puppy. Now she is full of life. My values include but are not limited to: safety, integrity, responsibility, respect, and dependability. I am entrepreneur and full time father and I am looking for supplemental income. Thank you for your time and consideration.

“Kristen was amazing! We felt we could trust her right away after our meet & greet, and plenty of much-appreciated updates and pictures made us feel Zag was in great hands the whole time we were gone. Was always responsive both leading up to the booking as well as during. It's a stressful situation using Rover for the first time and leaving our beloved pup in a stranger's hands, but we couldn't ask for a safer and happier home to provide for our dog in our absence..”
“If I could leave more than 5 stars, I would! Tyler is amazing! I received constant updates and pictures. He was very flexible with me and my flight times. River ripped open her favorite toy and Tyler even got a replacement. He also compiled a bunch of pictures and videos on a thumb drive for me! We did a meet and greet prior to the drop off day and Tyler asked all the important questions. I immediately felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with Tyler, and will always go to Tyler as my first go-to if available. I cannot thank him enough for taking such great care of River!”

About: I’ve been very hands on with dogs for years, including raising and caring for my own pitbull, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes especially larger, high energy dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and good at reading a dog’s personality and body language. I can also help reinforce basic habits like potty routines, leash manners, and calm behavior for younger dogs. I treat pets like they’re my own and focus on making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for instead of just “watching” them. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality and adjust to what they need, whether that’s extra playtime, reassurance, structure, or space. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. I plan my days around feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m consistent with routines and make sure pets are supervised and comfortable. I provide a calm, safe, and stress-free environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I have a fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and always supervise pets during walks, playtime, and interactions with other dogs. I also have a smart camera in my home so I can keep an eye on pets if I step out briefly. For added safety and comfort, pets can be kenneled if needed or preferred by the owner.
“Bobbi is a wonderful young lady and she and her mother took great care of my senior dog. She is knowledgable about separation anxiety and made sure to keep my old baby calm. She texted me daily with a photo and updates. This greatly helped my separation anxiety.😊 I would recommend Bobbi to anyone that needs to board their dog.”
“My 2 poodles had a stay for the weekend, I was nervous since this was their first stay but Rachel assured me everything will be fine and it definitely was!

My babies have a new best friend with Raven and can’t wait to go back!! I highly recommend her and her services & will be using her for future stays!!”
