Personalized care for your dog or cat - Waldheim
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Waldheim
“Regan was absolutely amazing with Archer. He is a senior Dachshund and can be a little unsure in new places, but she went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable and cared for during his very first overnight stay. She was patient, gentile and very attentive to his needs. It’s such a relief to find someone who understands and loves older pups. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and all the pictures she sent during his stay.”
“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.”
“Lauren and her wife were fantastic! My pet looked so happy in every picture they send me, and when I picked her up, she was not stressed at all! They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and I am very thankful for how they treated my pup! If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and sweet to take care of your fur baby, stop and book Lauren, you won’t regret it!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and have now centered my life around animal care! I currently am going to school for my RVT and am also working in the clinic at our Parish animal shelter. Because of this, I am well versed in most domesticated animal care, am comfortable with special needs/ill pets, and never mind a challenge! I Young-old, excited-skittish, wet-dry, all need care, and I'm excited to help you! No task is too messy or difficult, no guideline is too silly! My husband is very familiar with pet care as well, and he supplements where i cannot be! I am currently working full time from 8-4:30. I am able to handle early morning and evening obligations. Depending on your location, I am also able to do lunch time drop ins! Most of my weekends are open, though I am unavailable about 1 weekend out of the month for work, these weekends follow my weekday availability. My husband supplements any working weekends, and most times in which i am not home! Every animal is different, every animal has their quirks and personality! I am easily adaptable to your pets needs in home and outside. My goal is to make visits and transitions as seamless as possible for your pets; what works for you is what's best for me! We love to board, WE BOARD MULTIPLE ANIMALS AT A TIME! Sometimes there will be overlap from different households. Please know that we always prioritize safety, are very adaptable with separation and never leave our boarded animals together unattended. Your pets will be housed in our refinished shed a few steps away from our side door. The area is climate controlled, has electric, and is monitored via camera 24/7. If your pets are pet friendly, they are likely to be inside the home with us unless we are not home! You can see a snippet of the view in my photos, please let me know if you have questions!
“This was our second time using Tyler to watch our boy, and he was fantastic yet again. Tyler treats our Archer so well, including 1-2 walks per day, administering oral meds and plenty of amazing pics/communication. Most definitely recommend!”
“Courtney was super responsive and kept me updated on my pup. She sent photos daily and my pup came home exhausted from all the playtime/walks. Will be booking again soon!”
About: With three years of dedicated pet care and dog-walking experience, I provide consistent, reliable, and high-quality care that sets me apart. I’m skilled at working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I prioritize safety, communication, and routine. My goal is to offer dependable care you can trust, with personalized attention tailored to your dog’s needs.” I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for and play with your pups. I’m available for boarding on weekends, as well as weekdays after 2 PM.” I take the time to build trust with each pup, creating a relaxed and enjoyable experience where they can explore, exercise, and have fun safely. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their dog is in caring, responsible hands.”**
“Marisa was great! She was extremely accommodating, always trying to help make things easier for us for drop off and pick up. She sent lots of pictures and updates, and my pup definitely had fun because he has been sleeping all day. A sure sign of a good time for a one year old lab! =) it was awesome to know that he was having fun while we were away.”
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.
“Lindsay is an amazing sitter! Sampson was with her for 4 nights! She sent pictures every day! It felt so refreshing knowing that he was treated so well and loved! We will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“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..”
“When I came back from TDY, my dogs had a fresh bath, they appeared happy and healthy. I enjoyed the daily update on how much they ate, toileting, walks, and pictures. I highly recommend her services.”
“Brenley and his family took great care of our dog while we were gone for two weeks. He sent many updates and made us feel at ease being away from our boy. We fully plan on using them again”
About: I enjoy taking care of dogs as I am unable to have a dog of my own due to work travel. I enjoy taking them for walks and runs if they are up for it! I currently travel for work, but home long for stretches to care for your doggie when needed. When I'm home, I'm available the entire day. I have a big front yard and fenced in backyard with a spacious back patio. Lots of room to play and run. If your dog requires a crate, I have the room for that as well.
“Bobbi was a great sitter for our 2 pups. She updated me with pictures and more almost everyday we were gone. She bought toys for them as well. I will definitely ask Bobbi to take care of our babies again”

About: I've grown up with many types of pets throughout my entire life. I love animals and have been a volunteer at Northshore Humane Society since 2020, where I have experience walking, playing with, cleaning after, and even assisting in veterinary care with dogs. I especially love teaching new tricks and playing with them. I also have experience with reptiles and cats. I currently have a 9-year-old border collie and take him on walks and play with him for hours every day. He's a very active dog and I enjoy being active with him, as well as grooming him and interacting with him through any and all means. I love all dogs, but my favorite breed is the doberman! I also have a black cat named Breezepelt (named after my favorite book character), and a mexican black kingsnake named Asclepius! How I care for your pet depends on the specific needs and wants of the pet and what you as the owner would like. If I am house sitting, I am willing to play with, take outside, and walk with your pet as much as is desired. I have both leads and retractable leashes if you would like me to use my own. I am comfortable with crating if so desired. I will be keeping a constant eye on your pet and will ensure their safety to the upmost degree.
“Thank you for taking care of our cats while we went on vacation. We appreciated it very much and loved getting pictures of out cats daily and texts about how they were doing.”
“Caroline was excellent; very dependable! She dropped in on my 2 cats every day for 5 days and it was clear that they loved her. She took many photos of each visit along with a brief status update, which I greatly appreciated. I will definitely book her again in the future! Thanks, Caroline!”
“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.”
“Aurelia did a fantastic job taking care of our two cats! She is easy to communicate with and great with animals. Our diabetic cat needs shots and she was able to provide them with our a problem. I didn’t worry about them once while we were gone. Definitely going to rebook!”
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.
“Alyssa was so great with my cat while I was on vacation. She informed me of everything and kept me updated with pictures. I will definitely call her if I need any check ins in the future!”
About: Ever since I was Itty bitty I have always adored animals. I was the kid bringing home strays every chance I got to make sure they found a loving home. In high-school I interned at a vet. This gave me knowledge and experience walking, feeding, administering medication, and understanding the behaviors of the animals around me. I am now an Army veteran and will be a full time student come the fall semester. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give your precious babies the highest quality care so you can feel confident and secure that all of their needs are being met while youre away. I have 1 dog and 5 cats of my own all with their own quirks, personalities, and detailed instructions I give to my own sitters when needed. Rest assured that there is not much your pets could need that I am not up for! I am moving from out of state and starting school in the fall, so during the summer I will have complete availability while settling into our new home! Due to having so many cats, I will not be offering boarding/sitting in my own home. However for house sitting, walking, and drop ins I am happy to follow any and all detailed instructions and will send plenty of photos for your peace of mind!
“Kathryn did a great job taking care of Millie. She was timely dropping in on both mornings and night and provided lots of pictures and updates on every visit. I will definitely want to use Kathryn again for drop ins”
About: With a lifetime of experience around dogs, cats, exotic animals like iguanas, and birds, I offer exceptional pet care.

I'm skilled in caring for pets of all ages, from senior dogs to puppies, and experienced in administering medications. Comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I am currently expanding my knowledge as a student in the Penn Foster Veterinary Technician program. I work every Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, but with a two weeks notice, I can always request off if needed. i'm always willing to work my schedule around you and accommodate your needs! I offer a safe and nurturing in home pet sitting experience, whether in your home or mine. While my home doesn't have a fenced yard, I compensate with enriching leash walks on my spacious property and park visits. You can trust that your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and respect they receive at home.
About: I’ve been around dogs of every size for my whole life. I have owned a 2 lb teacup poodle and a 120 lb Golden Retriever. Neighbors, friends, and family often come to me when they are out of town to watch their pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, as well as during the week for repeat clients by request. I do my best to stay flexible and accommodate each pet’s schedule and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM in the office, but I’m available for drop-in visits in the morning before work, during my lunch break, and anytime after work. I live in a house in Covington, LA with a large fenced-in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run and play. Inside, there’s ample room for pets to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home. I always prioritize each pet’s safety and individual needs. Pets can be kept separate or allowed to interact and play together based on their temperament and owner preferences. I aim to create a calm, secure, and loving environment where every pet feels well cared for.

“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!”

“We have been taking our puppy to daycare with Sawsan nearly every week for the past three months, and he is so happy there. Unlike many sitters, Sawsan operates as a full time business and gives all of her focus and attention to the dogs. We are so sad to have moved from the neighborhood, and are yet to find anyone even close to this level of care!”
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.
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 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.

We have a free roaming environment at home with lots of backyard fetch and other games but can-do crate if you need. i dont like the idea of leaving my dog in the boarding day cares available because my dog doesnt feel comfortable and i dont either so i give a free home like environment with the air conditioned always running and me always availble at home. Hypoallergenic and friendly dogs only.

“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!!”

“Caroline is amazing! This was the first time we have left our dog in the care of someone other than family members. Caroline was perfect for our anxious and high energy dog. Caroline is so calm and professional. He quickly warmed up to her. I am sure he misses having his daily walks and check-ins with her. We highly recommend Caroline!”

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: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them goes beyond just “watching dogs” for me! I spent nearly a year working at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, as well as energy levels-from playful 4 month old puppies to sweet senior dogs who just need a little extra patience and care. I grew up around dachshunds and dobermans my whole life, and I now have my own Dalmatian that I rescued from illegal breeding. I understand both high-energy breeds and animals with unique personalities. My experience in pet sitting, dog behavior, proper socialization, and enrichment allows me to provide care that is attentive, structured, and tailored to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, mental stimulation, or simply a calm and restful environment, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for and loved while you are away. As a college student out for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Aside from a job commitment one weekend a month, my availability is open for almost anything-walks, drop-ins, and daycare! Your pets comfort and safety are always my #1 priority. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming home where your dog can feel right at home. I make sure they have both companionship and personal space when needed. I have a room in my home with a tall baby gate dedicated for dogs where they can decompress, and nothing will bother them if they want their own space. I also have a very playful and friendly Dalmatian, Siggy, who loves having company around the house. I will always supervise if Siggy would be around your dog, including a safe and proper introduction of the two dogs and continuously watching them when they would be playing.

About: My first job at 13 was customized pet care for my neighbors’ dogs. I have the innate ability to make dogs feel comfortable and secure—from puppies all the way up to aging senior dogs. My current situation gives me flexible availability to meet the requests of my potential clients varying schedules. I am available for when life’s unforeseen emergencies arise and your beloved pet needs to be cared for in your temporary absence. I am currently not available for in-home boarding and day care as I live in an apartment. My situation is not conducive for that as of now.

“Regan was absolutely amazing with Archer. He is a senior Dachshund and can be a little unsure in new places, but she went above and beyond to make him feel safe, comfortable and cared for during his very first overnight stay. She was patient, gentile and very attentive to his needs. It’s such a relief to find someone who understands and loves older pups. I’m grateful for the peace of mind she gave me and all the pictures she sent during his stay.”
“Lauren and her wife were fantastic! My pet looked so happy in every picture they send me, and when I picked her up, she was not stressed at all! They were very flexible with drop off and pick up times, and I am very thankful for how they treated my pup! If you’re looking for someone caring, reliable, and sweet to take care of your fur baby, stop and book Lauren, you won’t regret it!”

A sure sign of a good time for a one year old lab! =) it was awesome to know that he was having fun while we were away.”
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.
“Lindsay is an amazing sitter! Sampson was with her for 4 nights! She sent pictures every day! It felt so refreshing knowing that he was treated so well and loved! We will use her again in a heartbeat!”
“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..”
“When I came back from TDY, my dogs had a fresh bath, they appeared happy and healthy. I enjoyed the daily update on how much they ate, toileting, walks, and pictures. I highly recommend her services.”
“Brenley and his family took great care of our dog while we were gone for two weeks. He sent many updates and made us feel at ease being away from our boy. We fully plan on using them again”
About: I enjoy taking care of dogs as I am unable to have a dog of my own due to work travel. I enjoy taking them for walks and runs if they are up for it!

I have a big front yard and fenced in backyard with a spacious back patio. Lots of room to play and run. If your dog requires a crate, I have the room for that as well.
