“Daphne was amazing and accommodating to my needs. I was traveling out of town for military training. I need to be on the road by a certain time. Daphne message me as soon as she was free for me to bring Hummer over. Which was very benefiting for me. During Hummer’s stay she messaged me updates and pictures. Which eased my worry about him. By time I got there to pick Hummer up I wasn’t sure if he wanted to even leave. Highly recommend Daphne to watch your pups.”
“Chop had a lot of fun. Would recommend Hilaire to anyone. She’s attentive to the dogs and kind. Very helpful accommodating to you. I had to book last minute and she accepted quickly. Will be rebooking in the future”
“**Exceptional dog sitting experience with Melanie!!** Leaving my dogs in someone else’s care can be a nerve-wracking experience, but with Melanie I have complete peace of mind that my boys are well loved and looked after. From the start, her friendly and caring demeanor put me at ease. She took the time to truly understand my dogs personalities, quirks, and preferences to deliver personalized attention throughout. She provides outstanding communication and updates and is genuine in her care. I wholeheartedly recommend Melanie to anyone in need of top-notch dog sitting!”
“Dani did an awesome job watching Goose. She sent us plenty of updates and pictures of him throughout his stay. We would definitely recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter!”
About: I have 4 dogs of my own and one cat. I have cared for pets as long as I can remember. My dogs are all house trained and crate trained they also are well mannered and like other pets. I can house train and also train dogs to do certain tricks. I'm 27 years old and own my own home with a large fenced in back yard. My house has no carpet so accidental pet messes can be cleaned easily. I have my own transportation to house sit or dog walk any time I am needed. Thank you for considering me for taking care of your pets I currently work full time split shifts so I can take care of animals between shifts before shifts and after shifts. I have reliable transportation to and from also I have a large fenced in back yard and I currently work in the animal field so I am trained on medication management and also have vet tech experience.
“Kaley was a WONDERFUL dog sitter. She was very communicative and updated me throughout the day about my two dogs. They loved staying with her and she was so kind to give us some products to help with a hot spot! Our boys will be staying with Kaley next time!!!”
“Wow!! Before I tell you how incredible our experience with Susan was, I want to first tell you quickly about our horrible experience 3 weeks before when we boarded Bilbo at a local Groomer/Vet/Boarding Center in Shreveport for 8 days. From beginning to end, it was a nightmare, but I'll spare all the details except that when we picked Bilbo up, he wasn't right. He was dirty (even though they are supposed to give him a complimentary bath before pick up) and looked haggard and weary (his eyes were red) and could not make a sound because he was so hoarse from barking. When we got him home, he was panting and drooling excessively. For two (2) days and nights, he paced and panted and did not sleep. We were worried so we took him to his normal veterinarian and they had to put him on antibiotics and another medication. Two hundred dollar ($250) vet bill, Thank You! I don't know what happened, but we knew we could NEVER take him to another Vet/Boarding Center. I started looking online for local pet sitters and after careful scrutinization and reading lots of reviews, I found Susan (Angelic Choir Sounds). We corresponded over Rover.com and I knew that she would take good care of him. When we got to her property and my husband and I walked her spacious fenced in backyard, I knew that Bilbo would be in heaven there! It was a dog's dream getaway with so much space, trees, shade and a flowing water pond for fresh water if he got thirsty. But, then, Susan showed us where Bilbo would be spending his time (with her) and I was blown away. The large, separate, air conditioned building was set up like an extension of her main house. It was open and comfortable just like home (like a cabin style) with a living area, a sleeping area and a dining area for her comfort while she stayed with Bilbo and a couple of other sweet doggies who were set up in large open gated and separated spaces. Each dog had a couch and a rug and were just steps away from Susan at all times. I was impressed with how intimately Susan knew each of the animals that were in her care. She was prepared and equipped to take care of my dog's needs, no matter what they were. When my husband and I left, we felt such a worry and a burden lifted and knew we'd really be able to enjoy our vacation and that he'd be on his own little vacation too!! The day that we arrived to our vacation place, I got a text and a picture of Bilbo walking around outside. I continued to receive photos and updates of what Bilbo was doing every morning and every evening. My husband and I were just giddy about it! At home, Bilbo runs when we pull out our cell phones or camera to take his picture, but he let her take numerous pics of him. We laughed and said, "What the HECK!!" Moreover, Susan was very personable and professional! We brought her back an assortment of fudge as a tiny token of our appreciation, but really there was no gift that could have expressed how grateful we were :) We will always book with Susan going forward, God willing she's available!! I highly recommend booking with Susan. She keeps her number of doggies to a small number, so don't wait!! Regards, Lydia & Andre”
“I was very happy with Samantha. It was nice to know they were able to stay in her house and backyard. Before they have been shut up in prison cell type enclosures outside or put in small cages if the weather was bad. I have already tipped her.”

“Wonderful Experience!. My brother was suddenly airlifted to OCHSNER’s New Orleans & Jamie saved the day by watching Joey. The last thing I needed was to worry about my puppy dog! But It was easy to see by the photos she sent throughout his stay that Joey was absolutely content. She was kind, understanding & comforting to us both! Very pleasant! I couldn’t have asked for better care. Will MOST DEFINITELY keep Jamie’s info on speed dial for any time I need to get away. Very welcoming. Joey was not stressed at all-it was obvious he had been well taken care of! Highly Highly recommend!”
“Zack is the best! We left our three babies with Zac, one being 15 years old with a medical condition. Zack put our fears to rest to the point we were able to celebrate our wedding without concerns of how our dogs were being treated and cared for. We extended a day and Zac was caring enough to let us know he would be away from the dogs all day and if we were okay with it. We will definitely use him again and recommend to anyone with Barksdale AFB access.”

“Miss Brooke and Mr. Bobby took such great care of Trixie. We received daily check-ins and photos of Trixie having the time of her life. We did not have a single worry while Trixie was in the care of Miss Brooke. Will definitely reach out to this couple when we need care for Trixie in the future.”
“Excellent care Melissa took excellent care of my two fur babies. She provided a few pictures showing that they were adjusting to being with her. The next she let me know that they were doing well. When I picked them up both puppies were playful and happy.”
“Andrea and her husband were great. I will definitely call them again I’ve never left my Buddy with strangers. They made me feel so comfortable. I’m very pleased with their service. Andrea even text me to let me know my Buddy was doing good. I highly recommend their Dog sitting service !”
“Passion B.'s name speak for her. She showed so much passion and commitment while caring for Dallas. She was very understanding as my schedule changed and adjusted her schedule to accommodate mine. I appreciated the care she gave Dallas and her continous communication was impeccable. I will highly refer her for your pet needs and will definitely be using her for all of my pet needs....Thank you Passion.”

About: Cats are one of my best friends. I’ve always had cats in my home my whole life. When I was 18 my orange tabby Mimi gave birth to 7 kittens on my bedroom floor and it was a magical (yet terrifying) thing to witness. For the next 3 months I watched those kittens get bigger and eventually rehoused each one to loving families. Mimi is still my buddy until this day. When it comes to cats or any animals , I’m not shy to step in and help any way I can. I am professional and careful when it comes to my boarding to ensure the safety of all pets in my care.

I have an ultimate compassion for animals, no matter what size or breed they are. While your baby, is in my care, I can help with potty training, commands, leash walking, feeding a litter of puppies, and any other task you need help with. The best way to know our for babies, is to also understand them. Which this is commonly overlooked. With choosing me to look after a member of your family, your baby will not only be well taken cared of, but he/she will be greatly loved. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
About: I have looked after all kinds of dogs by working with my aunt in a vet clinic over my summer breaks. I would love to walk your dog! I am a medical student at LSU Shreveport and love to take dog walk study breaks! I am usually free afternoons and evenings during the week I have a small backyard at my house which is gated in by a fence on all sides. I also have a patch of concrete next to the grass.

“LindsAy was amazing! She was personable and went out of her way to pick up the keys for the drop in visits. She kept in close contact for her drop in visits and took great care of my baby. From all the pictures I received, my fur baby warmed up to her quick. 11/10 will be reaching out to her again if needed. Thanks LindsAy!”
About: We have a warm, loving home and are very nurturing. We also have luxury vinyl flooring which makes accidents an easy clean up lol. We don’t currently use our third bedroom so there’s plenty of room for a crate if your pup is crate trained. I’ve been pet sitting and house sitting for 16 years and am on this site because I simply want to do more of it on a consistent basis. I work close by our home 8am-4pm Monday-Friday, but I can come home to let out pup(s) whenever needed. My daughter goes to bed by 6:30 most nights so plenty of evening time at home. I have a sweet tea cup yorkie to keep your pup company during the day. I work close to where I live with a flexible schedule, so I can let pup out as much as needed. Our yard is fenced in also. But we like to go for walks around our neighborhood as well.
“This was our second time to have Jaden take care of our furbabies and we couldn’t be happier. She is prompt, communicates well, and is very tuned in to their mood and behavior. Absolutely would recommend ❤️”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Wildoak
About: I know that you have many options for care. I have been working through Rover since early 2020 and would like to share some information about myself. I made the decision to take an early retirement after twenty-two years at Northwestern State University when my husband and I relocated to Shreveport and both of our children went off to college. This move gave me the opportunity to pursue a job that I ❤️ and am passionate about. I believe dogs and cats are the most awesome of Earth's creatures, and, in my eyes, are such precious members of our families. I am a long-time dog and cat owner and currently a parent to three rescued dogs. I also was an active volunteer and Board Member for Natchitoches Hope for Paws dog rescue from 2012 to 2022. During this time, I worked with 150+ rescued dogs at the site and through the foster program. I found so much pleasure and enjoyment working as a rescue volunteer and wanted to expand my love and care of these most precious of animals. As a volunteer, I cleaned kennels, administered medications, walked and played with dogs, worked with basic training techniques and leash walking, and evaluated and monitored dog behaviors and personalities for proper socialization and integration with other dogs including aggressive and high anxiety dogs. I treat all animals as if they are my own. I love all fur babies big, small, young, and old. I am available at any time and since I am retired, I am able to provide drop-in services, walks, and overnight care (for socialized and house trained dogs who are current on all shots and flea/tick preventives), including medication administration and care for aggressive and high-anxiety dogs. I have no problems with cleaning up accidents and will ensure that your home stays clean of messes. I am also a firm believer in sending pictures while you are away so you can be comforted that your dog (or cat) is receiving nothing but the upmost care and love while you are away. No requested service is to great or small! I would welcome the opportunity to help you with care needs for your fur babies! Since I am retired, I am available at any time for drop-ins, walks, and overnight boarding (socialized and house trained only). I am also able to work around flexible and changing schedules. I live in a house with a large fully fenced backyard and have a doggy door which allows the dogs to move freely in and out of the house as they desire.
“Jamie is amazing and our dog Ally had the best day with her in doggie daycare. I am home recovering from surgery and cannot walk Ally at all right now. Jamie picked up Ally from our home - an unheard of, tremendous help and favor to us and this was the first time we had met! She sent me photos throughout the day of Ally running and playing with a new dog friend, and she took Ally on a long, 3 mile walk. Ally had the best day and I appreciate Jamie so much! Thank you!”
“Amelia made sure to send plenty of photo updates and Sammie had so much fun with her pup. She took them for walks and had them play in her yard. She is amazing.”
“One of the sweetest, most passionate-for-animals people I’ve ever met! Melanie took wonderful care of my husky and I felt confident he was in a safe, loving environment. I received lots of photos from his stay which made me incredibly happy!”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was young. I grew up with goats, cats, dogs, bunnies, and many more fun critters. I find a lot of joy being around animals. When I was 9 I helped my family’s pet goat give birth and helped raise them until they were rehomed to different farms. That is just one of the many fun stories I have from growing up surrounded by a variety of animals. I’m pretty comfortable with all personalities of pets and am very accommodating to specific routines and lifestyles. I used to work at a pet hospital so, that educated me on how to care for injured or sick pets. As well as, how to handle different behaviors of pets to benefit their safety and day to day life. I believe that all pets deserve kind and loving care no matter the age. I’m currently a stay at home wife with plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m available Monday-Saturday all day and Sundays after 12 PM, unless we make special accommodations for overnights or other accommodations. I live in a quiet neighborhood and have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for playing and exercise. I also have two dogs that love making new friends. For boarding at my house I like to let the dogs have plenty of outside time. Whether it’s in the backyard playing, going on a walk, or a trip to the dog park. I’m also up for quiet days with snuggles on the couch. I am happy to crate your dog if requested- one of my dogs are crated when they are home alone due to anxiety so I understand the necessity if needed. I also have indoor cameras to monitor my pets while I’m not home, so your pets will always have an eye on them even if I’m not physically there to ensure their safety. For overnight stays in your home, it is completely up to your discretion how you’d like me to care for your pets. If you have special instructions for your pet care I am open to almost anything, I don’t think any ask is too big or too small.

About: Pet sitting is awesome because I want to spend time with as many wonderful pets as I can. I'll treat them just as well as I would like my pets to be treated since I know how important they are. Prior to Good Dog, I would pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. They deserve the best care even the little rambunctious ones. I have been working and volunteering in pet care for years. Interacting with any animal makes me happy but bunnies will always have a special place in my heart. Regardless of whether they have fur or scales I treat my pets, and other’s pets as family members who need just as much love and emotional care as they do physically. Thank you for this opportunity
“Michelle, her family, and Charlie are absolutely amazing! My Nola had the best time playing and spending time with them. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring hands.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since a little toddler my family has always been big on having our little farm of pets and I wouldn’t ask for it any other way. Pet care fits into my daily routine because after a long day at work or in general looking forward to seeing those cute smiling faces will always make the day so much better. Caring for pets in my home consists of having big back yards, cozy areas for them inside and making sure treats and food bowls are full all the time for them to nibble on.
About: What sets me apart is my rigorous attention to detail and a background in health and wellness. I understand that your pet’s health isn't just about feeding and walking; it’s about monitoring their well-being, strictly adhering to dietary or medication requirements, and ensuring a safe, clean environment. Whether it's managing complex care instructions or simply keeping a keen eye on their health and comfort, I bring a level of professionalism and vigilance that ensures your peace of mind while you are away. I also provide consistent photo/text updates so you have peace of mind while being away from your pets. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to be highly attentive and present throughout the day. This means I can offer your pet more companionship, frequent check-ins, and a stable routine that minimizes stress while you're away. Because my time is dedicated to being home-based, I can ensure your pet receives the extra playtime, consistent feeding times, and reliable care they deserve, giving you total peace of mind. While my home does not have a fenced-in yard, I am highly experienced in safely managing outdoor time using a leash to ensure your pet gets the necessary exercise and potty breaks in a secure, controlled manner. I am also comfortable with crating and strictly following your established house rules to maintain your pet's comfort and safety. Furthermore, I am completely flexible and happy to provide pet-sitting services directly in your home, allowing your pet to remain in their familiar environment, which is often the most stress-free experience for them. I do not have any animals currently of my own.

I will always leave your home clean and give your dogs lots of love! I’m currently working part time so I have very flexible availability and the ability to spend lots of time with your pets during the day!

“Brianna has been great! She’s very responsive and communicates with us well. And she’s very good with our 9 month old German Shepherd, and quite forgiving since her puppy energy can make her a lot to handle. We’ve had an issue with her jumping, and Brianna reached out to us to help solve the issue. Highly recommend, and we will continue to use her as a dog walker while we’re here!”
“Samantha provided dog walking services for our big sweet dog Pepper. She was great. She worked with her every day on getting her used to walking on a leash and not pulling so hard, which was extremely helpful to us. She was very dependable as well. I would highly recommend her.”

About: As a college student with a deep love for animals, I’m excited to offer pet care services, including dog walking, house sitting, and drop-in visits. Growing up with pets of my own, I’ve always been the go-to person in my neighborhood for watching over dogs and cats while their owners were away. From ensuring anxious pets stay calm to handling high-energy dogs who love long walks, I’ve experienced it all. Whether it's giving a playful pup the exercise they need or keeping a shy cat comfortable during visits, I pride myself on building trust with animals and ensuring they feel safe and happy while their owners are away. My flexible schedule allows me to be there for your pets, ensuring they receive the attention, care, and love they deserve. I’m currently in college full time so around my class schedule I have plenty of time to take care of and play with your pups! I love giving them lots of attention and letting them get their zoomies out while playing with them. I can set up kennels, krates, etc. I love pets and understand their needs so I will take care of anything you may need!
About: Hey y'all! I'm a Midwestern gal who has loved getting to know the pets of the deep south! I've been an animal lover my entire life. So, about 10 years ago, I started working at a doggy daycare and boarding facility and it was the experience of a lifetime! It's easily the coolest job I've ever had. I've gotten to learn a lot about pet care. It's a special feeling to get to get to know and watch pups grow up. I worked under an animal behaviorist in DC for several months before ending up down here in the Bossier area! I’m looking forward to building another sweet community of pets🥰 At home I have an ancient pup named Bella! She is an 18 year old beagle who really just wants to hang out. Thankfully my schedule is very flexible to the needs of your pet! I have found that watching animals can be a really mutually beneficial activity. For example, watching someone’s pup gives me a good excuse to get out of the house and go on longer walks! I am always willing to locate nearby dog parks which can be fun spots for outings! Also happy to curl up on the couch and watch Netflix with your furball - whatever their energy is☺️ Additionally, I have ten years of professional experience as an animal caretaker.
About: I work with Chimpanzees at Chimp Haven! I also have two amazing cats named Bellion and Kid! In addition I also have a bearded dragon named Thor. I have had animals since I was 3 and I have been caring for animals since then. I have experience walk training dogs and I have plenty of regular training experience as well. I use to volunteer with multiple dog and cat no kill shelters where I would walk, play, and groom with both dogs and cats. I would also go to events and communicate with potential adopters for these dogs, as I did these events I would be walk training the dogs so that when they get adopted they would know! I do work a full time job from 7am-4pm every day. My evenings are completely free and I currently have Saturdays and Sundays off from work so I am free all day on those days to help train or walk pets! Since my evenings are free I can check up or even stay the night to take care of your babies! My cats and lizard are very spoiled in our home. They get fed twice a day and plenty of love and play time. I absolutely adore animals and I want to make sure your pets are taken care of while you're at work or vacation!

“Wonderful Experience!. My brother was suddenly airlifted to OCHSNER’s New Orleans & Jamie saved the day by watching Joey. The last thing I needed was to worry about my puppy dog! But It was easy to see by the photos she sent throughout his stay that Joey was absolutely content. She was kind, understanding & comforting to us both! Very pleasant! I couldn’t have asked for better care. Will MOST DEFINITELY keep Jamie’s info on speed dial for any time I need to get away. Very welcoming. Joey was not stressed at all-it was obvious he had been well taken care of! Highly Highly recommend!”
“Zack is the best! We left our three babies with Zac, one being 15 years old with a medical condition. Zack put our fears to rest to the point we were able to celebrate our wedding without concerns of how our dogs were being treated and cared for. We extended a day and Zac was caring enough to let us know he would be away from the dogs all day and if we were okay with it. We will definitely use him again and recommend to anyone with Barksdale AFB access.”

I am taking off work for the next two months so my schedule is open minus a couple dates here and there. You can expect me home majority of my days. My pets are always fed and given water through the day and let o it frequently. They enjoy playing fetch or running in the yard and going on car rides or walks.

About: I’ve loved animals since I was young. I grew up with goats, cats, dogs, bunnies, and many more fun critters. I find a lot of joy being around animals. When I was 9 I helped my family’s pet goat give birth and helped raise them until they were rehomed to different farms. That is just one of the many fun stories I have from growing up surrounded by a variety of animals. I’m pretty comfortable with all personalities of pets and am very accommodating to specific routines and lifestyles. I used to work at a pet hospital so, that educated me on how to care for injured or sick pets. As well as, how to handle different behaviors of pets to benefit their safety and day to day life. I believe that all pets deserve kind and loving care no matter the age. I’m currently a stay at home wife with plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I’m available Monday-Saturday all day and Sundays after 12 PM, unless we make special accommodations for overnights or other accommodations. I live in a quiet neighborhood and have a large fenced in yard with plenty of room for playing and exercise. I also have two dogs that love making new friends. For boarding at my house I like to let the dogs have plenty of outside time. Whether it’s in the backyard playing, going on a walk, or a trip to the dog park. I’m also up for quiet days with snuggles on the couch. I am happy to crate your dog if requested- one of my dogs are crated when they are home alone due to anxiety so I understand the necessity if needed. I also have indoor cameras to monitor my pets while I’m not home, so your pets will always have an eye on them even if I’m not physically there to ensure their safety. For overnight stays in your home, it is completely up to your discretion how you’d like me to care for your pets. If you have special instructions for your pet care I am open to almost anything, I don’t think any ask is too big or too small.
About: Pet sitting is awesome because I want to spend time with as many wonderful pets as I can. I'll treat them just as well as I would like my pets to be treated since I know how important they are. Prior to Good Dog, I would pet sit for family, friends and neighbors. They deserve the best care even the little rambunctious ones. I have been working and volunteering in pet care for years. Interacting with any animal makes me happy but bunnies will always have a special place in my heart. Regardless of whether they have fur or scales I treat my pets, and other’s pets as family members who need just as much love and emotional care as they do physically. Thank you for this opportunity
About: My family has owned dogs since I was 3 years old. I have taken care of animals of all kinds, including big, little, and elder dogs, cats, rabbits, and chickens. I adopted my own dog in July of 2025. He was a rescue from Dubach, LA and loves dogs more than people! Currently I am working on my Masters of Business Administration online, meaning I have plenty of time to dedicate to anyone’s wonderful animal(s)! When I enter a client’s home, I always want to ensure the upmost respect is being given not only to the owner, but also their home and possessions as well. But most importantly to the animal. My main goal is making sure they get plenty of potty breaks and can get energy out by having fun and using their brain.
About: What sets me apart is my rigorous attention to detail and a background in health and wellness. I understand that your pet’s health isn't just about feeding and walking; it’s about monitoring their well-being, strictly adhering to dietary or medication requirements, and ensuring a safe, clean environment. Whether it's managing complex care instructions or simply keeping a keen eye on their health and comfort, I bring a level of professionalism and vigilance that ensures your peace of mind while you are away. I also provide consistent photo/text updates so you have peace of mind while being away from your pets. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible and consistent schedule that allows me to be highly attentive and present throughout the day. This means I can offer your pet more companionship, frequent check-ins, and a stable routine that minimizes stress while you're away. Because my time is dedicated to being home-based, I can ensure your pet receives the extra playtime, consistent feeding times, and reliable care they deserve, giving you total peace of mind. While my home does not have a fenced-in yard, I am highly experienced in safely managing outdoor time using a leash to ensure your pet gets the necessary exercise and potty breaks in a secure, controlled manner. I am also comfortable with crating and strictly following your established house rules to maintain your pet's comfort and safety. Furthermore, I am completely flexible and happy to provide pet-sitting services directly in your home, allowing your pet to remain in their familiar environment, which is often the most stress-free experience for them. I do not have any animals currently of my own.
