“Nicolette is an amazing dog sitter! She provided updates while we were anway and is very accommodating. . I would recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter.”

“Christie was very responsive. She sent daily pics of my pup. This was my first time leaving my pup and she made me feel comfortable. I would definitely use her again in the future.”

“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”

“Olivia was amazing with Hazel! She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much piece of mind. She was also super flexible when I had a last minute change with drop off. Hazel came home happy and relaxed, and I'll definitely book with her again!”


“Bradley graciously accepted a short notice booking for our dog Ghost. He was very communicative and responsive leading up to and throughout the boarding stay. Bradley’s dog Beaux is very sweet, gentle & got along well with Ghost. We 100% recommend Bradley for boarding.”


About: Need a break from ur furry friend? Whether it’s one day or Monday through Friday or somewhere in between, I got ur back! Ask me about other animals too🤩 This is a part time job for me to keep me busy during the week. I have epilepsy and cannot drive. I’d love to be able to have a job and this is my new dream 🤩❤️ I have a fenced in yard and one friendly cat named Whiskers. If you have any needs beyond those mentioned above feel free to request them in person.
“Janelle was very attentive and supportive during my booking. She is very responsive and will provide you with update on your fur baby. She sends pictures and keeps you updated. I will definitely be booking with her again!!”
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 kept our Pom Meryl for overnight boarding. First time for her to be away from us; second time to stay with Lauren. Meryl walked in like she owned the place! Lauren’s home is nice and inviting with a big back yard. Meryl was the only dog there this time. Lauren and her dtr were very attentive and caring with Meryl. Lauren sent me pictures and updates on how well Meryl was adjusting being away this long, which relieved me as well. We booked 3 nights for Mardi Gras holiday and feel like our baby will be in good hands.”

“This was Gumbo’s second stay with Nicholas and it won’t be the last! Thankful to have Nicholas keep Gumbo when we are out of town. We don’t have to worry about Gumbo at all because we know he’s being cared for!”

“Savannah and Kadyn took awesome care of our dog, Rosie. They sent us multiple pictures and videos to keep us updated on how Rosie was doing and you could just see how much love and attention she was getting during her stay with them. Not only that, but they were so incredibly accommodating to us when the snow storm hit and our travel plans were disrupted. They even offered to have our dog stay the night before when we thought we may have had to leave earlier than expected. For pickup, they accommodated us once again, so we could pick up our dog late and then they were available when our time changed. They communicated with us so well the whole time and we are happy to have found a great dog sitter in Lafayette! We will definitely be using them again!”

“Daylen took the best care of our puppy and kept us informed daily on how he was doing. She sent pictures and videos, and we could tell he was having the best time. We were worried he wouldn’t want to come home. We will definitely be using her again as he has found his home away from home!”

“By far the best pet sitter I have ever had! Would recommend to any and everyone. Beetlejuice didn’t want to leave. Wonderful family and pups got along with him so well!”

“Keith was great with our 3 dogs. Communication is great. He sent us videos and pictures during our dogs' stay with him. Also, his backyard is very suitable for dogs. Highly recommend.”

“This was our dog’s 2nd stay with Amanda. As soon as I dropped her off at Amanda’s house, I could tell Marley remembered being there and was excited to be back! Amanda sends frequent updates and pictures, which really helped us not to worry about our baby while we were away. Will definitely book with her 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.”

“Kelbie was fantastic! She picked up and dropped off Zummo, sent regular picture updates, and made sure he felt right at home. He came back happy and relaxed, and it was clear her whole family loved having him. I’ll definitely be booking with Kelbie again!”

“Katie was awesome as always! We booked her for a drop-in this time and she made sure Toast got all of her energy out by playing in the backyard, fed her, and gave her medication as instructed. Toast loves it when she comes to visit!”


“Taylor is very dedicated to making sure your pets are taken care of and doing well. She was watching our cat when a hurricane came through and still stopped by the day of the storm for her normal visit to make sure our cat was ok and had all the food/water he could need. We really appreciate her!”


“Awesome as always! Kacey is super reliable and does great with our cats. She is very respectful of the house and gives great updates. Will continue booking her for all our trips!”


“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!”

“Margaret was the absolute best! The pups have been struggling with us being gone and she did an fabulous job of making them feel loved! She went above and beyond to check in with me and them! Cannot recommend her enough!”

“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.”

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!

“Kaitlyn was fantastic! She asked a bunch of questions early on to understand my dog's needs and kept me informed of concerns that came up during the drop-in visits. I highly recommend her as a sitter, especially if you have a large breed dog. I will definitely schedule her for future drop-ins.”

About: I grew up with with at least 2 dogs (from chihuahuas all the way to Great Danes). I love going to the dog park with my pups and running around the yard with them. I also have experience in dog grooming. My family is in the process of renovating their house, so I unfortunately don’t have the space to board any animals, but in the next year I will have the space to board 5 animals. In our family our dogs aren’t pets they are family. I’d love to have the opportunity to get to know your fur babies and have play dates with my fur babies. Thank you for your time, and I can’t wait to get to know you and you fur family!

About: What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and natural caregiving personality. As a future nurse currently studying at Southeastern, I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable following specific routines while paying close attention to any changes in behavior. I’m especially gentle with young pets who are still learning and need consistency. I also have a senior cat of my own, so I understand the extra patience, comfort, and attentiveness older pets need. Whether your pet is energetic or prefers a slower pace, I will care for them like they’re my own.

“Ava is an amazing dog-sitter and walker… she cared for my dogs like they were her own. She is punctual and made sure my dogs were given care, attention, exercise and entertainment while I was away.”

“Lauren has a nice house and good sized back yard to accommodate her Rover dogs. This is our first time using Lauren. She and her daughter made Meryl feel comfortable and showered her with attention and affection. Lauren had great communication with us. We had a meeting to introduce Meryl to them day before our dog sitting appointment that went very well. We want to use Lauren again soon for boarding. I highly recommend her for your dog.”

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 work from home, which means your dog will get lots of attention throughout the day—regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection. They won’t be left alone for long periods, and I make sure they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. My home is in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with a yard for safe playtime. I’ve set everything up to be dog-friendly so you can feel confident your pet is in a safe and relaxed environment. I treat every dog like they’re my own and want you to feel completely at ease while they’re in my care. I work from home which means your pet will never be alone more than 1-2 hours, will be provided frequent potty breaks, and endless amounts of love. 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.
About: Hi! I can’t wait to be introduced to your furry friends. After many years of looking after my family and friends’ pets, I’m well prepared for various types of pet personalities.

I can provide thorough care throughout the day at my home, or visit/drop-in to your home before work, after work, or on my lunch break. I also would be able to work from your home if that works best for you! :) I’m able to adapt to any routine requested. At my home, I have a fenced in yard that my dog, Benji, loves to sunbathe in throughout the day! I do have a friendly cat, but he’s very shy and will stay in one of his numerous hiding spots or his gated, out-of-reach area when strangers come over. At your home, I will be very respectful of your area and remain focused on your furry friends’ needs.
About: I have owned and lived with dogs and cats my whole life.

We love the dog park, long walks (Mylo especially), and couch snuggles/naps. They enjoy chasing each other in the backyard and to birdwatch/neighborhood watch from the living room windows. 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.

“Jason was great with Bowie! So glad we were able to find him in a pinch. Jason kept in great communication with us, and it was clear Bowie really enjoyed his stay.”

“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!”

About: I’ve pet sat for friends and family for years and have been walking neighbors’ dogs for a few months. I have a large dog myself so I can be relied on to walk and care for large dogs. I currently keep a neighbor’s dog for doggy daycare about 2-3 hours during the day. They LOVE to play with each other and I have plenty of enrichment toys and treats to keep them occupied. I currently keep a dog for doggy daycare from 12:00-2:00 on weekdays, but my schedule is flexible. I am available during weekdays for walks and check ins from 8:00 am-6:00 pm. I am also available for weekday and weekend boarding and house sitting. I have a fenced in backyard and a fairly open floor plan offering a lot of play space. My dog and the dog I keep during the day are both very sweet but can be quite rambunctious at times. They are both well trained and very friendly with people and other dogs. Before moving to Baton Rouge, I used to own my own business cleaning houses and have a lot of experience working in other people’s homes. I understand how difficult it can be letting someone new into your home, especially when you may not be there. I am a great communicator, very trustworthy, and have a flexible schedule. I often send pictures or videos of pets to keep you updated and let you know your fur baby is safe and happy!

“Lori is the best! I love hearing from her while I’m at work about her walks and playtime with my dog. I only needed her for a few weeks but she was reliable and really connected with my dog during that time. No complaints here - would highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my diverse and extensive background in animal care. With experience working in clinics, vet hospitals, rescue centers, shelters, etc, I have gained valuable knowledge about the specific needs and behaviors of various animals. Furthermore, my years of caring for my own dogs and cats have provided me with practical hands-on experience in handling different breeds and understanding their unique personalities. My expertise extends beyond dogs and cats, to include exotic animals, birds, some reptiles, and small ruminants, giving me a comprehensive understanding of the specific requirements and care necessary for a wide range of pets. My breadth of experience, coupled with my genuine love for animals, ensures that I provide exceptional care and attention to each furry, feathered, or scaled friend entrusted to my care. Additionally I am now entering my second year of school at LSU school of veterinary medicine, which has allowed me further enhance my animal caretaking skills. I am on break from vet school for the summer, so my schedule is pretty open/flexible. I am on vacation a few weeks over the summer as listed on my calender, and I start school early August and will no longer be available. To properly care for a client's pet in their home, there are a few key steps to follow. First and foremost, it's essential to establish clear communication with the client, ensuring you have all the necessary information about the pet's routines, dietary needs, medical history, and any specific instructions. When at the client's home, provide a safe and comfortable environment for the pet, ensuring their access to fresh water, nutritious food, and a clean living area. 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: I am an animal obsessed graduate looking to fill my free time taking care of pets while I am on the hunt for a job. I’ve had my fair share of caring for dogs of all sizes and cats too! My pets are my family, and I will treat yours with the same respect. I know you want your pets left in the best care while you are away, so I am able to come do a meet and greet if preferred! Fun fact: I just went through a training program on how to better understand dog body language when they interact with other dogs and how to handle emergency situations when they arise! I am currently working part time and taking a couple courses for my Master's degree, so I have plenty of time (and energy) to care for your lovely pet. When I house sit, I will have to leave for a few hours a day for either class or work, but will spend ample time with your four-legged friend! In your home, full respect will be given to both your pets and your home. Walks and drop ins will not be spent browsing my phone, your four-legged friend has my full attention! Drop in visits can be tailored to the needs of your pet, and walks can be as active as your pup likes (I like to get those steps in). If your pup has decent leash manners and would like to take a run, I can provide that as well.
“Alec was great! She kept me updated & made sure my pup got his supplements, ate his lunch & got a good walk! The pictures & videos were adorable. I would definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: I have owned dogs my whole life! Nothing gives me more joy than loving on our furry friends! They truly are man’s best friend and especially mine! My husband works from home and I am fully devoted to caring for our pups and yours! We are true dog lovers and will spend our days loving on your fur babies as if they were (and along with) our own! We have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. However, we can crate your pups or ours if needed as well. Our dogs love to play but if yours don’t, we can accommodate to keep them safe.
About: Hi! I’m Lillian, and I’ve spent years caring for dogs of all kinds (more frequently larger dogs) mostly for friends and family but now I’m excited to expand my horizons and offer my help to fellow pet parents in the community! Growing up, I helped care for a physically challenged dog, which taught me patience, attention to detail, and how to adapt to any pup’s needs. I’m comfortable with all personalities, energy levels, and special requirements. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, or specific routines, I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I truly treat every animal like they’re part of the family. Can’t wait to meet your furry best friend! It depends what the owner wants for their animal/home I’m happy to be however flexible they want me to be. Some families prefer pet sitters to stay at their homes overnight and spend most of their day caring for the pet while other families prefer sitters to drop in every 4 hours or so to feed, provide water, entertain, and walk the animal. I’m ok doing which ever but my schedule might differ depending on the week but communication is all that matters! I cannot offer boarding since I will be moving into a non pet friendly apartment soon but for overnight/day pet sitting I will just follow your directions and rules!

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 taken care of dogs of every breed my entire life. I’ve always consecutively (2 over 16 years) owned Huskies. They match my energy and personality. I am open to pet care and pet walks all the time as I am in between jobs and selling my house. Dogs are the best company. I have a fenced yard and a dog door. There is endless water with my giant water jug feeder. My home is 3 bedrooms open with a window to see out.

“Olivia was amazing with Hazel! She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay, which gave me so much piece of mind. She was also super flexible when I had a last minute change with drop off. Hazel came home happy and relaxed, and I'll definitely book with her again!”


“Bradley graciously accepted a short notice booking for our dog Ghost. He was very communicative and responsive leading up to and throughout the boarding stay. Bradley’s dog Beaux is very sweet, gentle & got along well with Ghost. We 100% recommend Bradley for boarding.”


About: Need a break from ur furry friend? Whether it’s one day or Monday through Friday or somewhere in between, I got ur back! Ask me about other animals too🤩 This is a part time job for me to keep me busy during the week. I have epilepsy and cannot drive. I’d love to be able to have a job and this is my new dream 🤩❤️ I have a fenced in yard and one friendly cat named Whiskers. If you have any needs beyond those mentioned above feel free to request them in person.
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 kept our Pom Meryl for overnight boarding. First time for her to be away from us; second time to stay with Lauren. Meryl walked in like she owned the place! Lauren’s home is nice and inviting with a big back yard. Meryl was the only dog there this time. Lauren and her dtr were very attentive and caring with Meryl. Lauren sent me pictures and updates on how well Meryl was adjusting being away this long, which relieved me as well. We booked 3 nights for Mardi Gras holiday and feel like our baby will be in good hands.”

“Savannah and Kadyn took awesome care of our dog, Rosie. They sent us multiple pictures and videos to keep us updated on how Rosie was doing and you could just see how much love and attention she was getting during her stay with them. Not only that, but they were so incredibly accommodating to us when the snow storm hit and our travel plans were disrupted. They even offered to have our dog stay the night before when we thought we may have had to leave earlier than expected. For pickup, they accommodated us once again, so we could pick up our dog late and then they were available when our time changed. They communicated with us so well the whole time and we are happy to have found a great dog sitter in Lafayette! We will definitely be using them again!”

“Keith was great with our 3 dogs. Communication is great. He sent us videos and pictures during our dogs' stay with him. Also, his backyard is very suitable for dogs. Highly recommend.”

“This was our dog’s 2nd stay with Amanda. As soon as I dropped her off at Amanda’s house, I could tell Marley remembered being there and was excited to be back! Amanda sends frequent updates and pictures, which really helped us not to worry about our baby while we were away. Will definitely book with her 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.”

“Kelbie was fantastic! She picked up and dropped off Zummo, sent regular picture updates, and made sure he felt right at home. He came back happy and relaxed, and it was clear her whole family loved having him. I’ll definitely be booking with Kelbie again!”

“Cosmo seemed to have the best time with Guybrielle and her family! He was exhausted when he came home which tells me he played, and played, and played some more! I look forward to booking in the future.”

About: They say that pets/animals know a good person when they see and smell them. There's not a pet home that I walk into and am not greeted with excitement after giving rubs and cuddles. I am currently transitioning to be a stay at home mom, but I would like to continue to help others in need. My days are flexible at this time. Between 8:00m-3:00pm and 4:00pm to 6:00pm on weekdays, I can move outside of the home freely. Times outside of the listed times, I need to be within my home. I havr a 9 year old daughter who is great with animals, and she will not be left with any unsupervised. I have a fenced in back patio and a semi-fenced in back yard. Animals are not allowed to be alone and off the leash if in the backyard exploring. They are free to roam around the patio and home if applicable.

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.
“Johanna and her family took excellent care of my dog, Beanie! She provided updates throughout my trip so I could see how well Beanie was doing. I felt almost guilty when I picked Beanie up, because it was so obvious that she’d developed a real bond with Johanna and her dogs. I highly recommend Johanna as a sitter. She is caring and communicative, and your furry family member will have a wonderful time!”

“We have been so happy with Tracy and her level of care for our toy poodle. Tracy and her kids treated our dog like she was family. I know our dog felt right at home while we were gone. I received multiple updates and pictures while we were away. We’ve booked with her twice now and will continue to use her for the future.”

“Jhon and Jaqualine took very good care of Rocky as well as us while we were away in vacation with daily updates, pictures and videos of our pooch playing with the other animals in their care. I would highly recommend them to others. Thank you!”
