“I
 look for someone to show love and attention, not just feeding,” said 
Cypress resident, Carol 
Prescott. “I used to use a home kennel, but my 
dogs are much happier in their home environment.” 
“I’m picky,” Prescott continued. “Louise is great. She even sends pictures of my dogs eating, walking, and more. I like that.” 
“I appreciate someone who loves our animals. They respond well to her and I feel safe and can relax when we are away.”
The
 pet sitter she is talking about is Louise Bierei from Louise’s Pampered
 Pets. Bierei offers pet care in Cypress and surrounding communities. 
“I
 offer daily visits, can stay at your home or even bring your pets to my
 house, if you want,” said Bierei. “I have a dog and cat. They get along
 well with other animals.”
She
 has experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, rats, exotic birds, 
snakes, and lizards. Basically, she can help with any type of domestic 
house pet. 
Bierei
 took classes in dog training and volunteered at the Long Beach Animal 
Shelter to gain experience and has been caring for local pets since 
2002. She started when her children were young and needed a flexible 
job. 
With her children now in college, her availability for pet sitting has increased. 
“I
 have people sign a vet release in case of emergency. Pets can get sick 
any time, so I want to be ready. The authorization for care ensures pets
 are helped immediately,” said Bierei.
“I
 have had very few issues, but I always want to be ready. Some people 
give me the key to their house so I can bring in the mail, turn lights 
on and off, water plants, bring in the newspaper, take out the trash, 
walk their dogs, pet and play with their animals and clean up pet waste 
in the yard.” 
Bierei
 loves animals and has had animals her entire life. She recalls years 
when her brothers would bring home possums, raccoons and other animals. 
She especially loves dogs and cats.
“Dogs
 and cats are always happy to see you,” share Bierei. “I spend time 
petting and playing with dogs, then take them for a 30 to 40 minute 
walk. I’m usually at the house for an hour.”
“It’s
 fun interacting with the animals. I have never had a bad animal, even 
pit bulls. I come and meet the pets and get familiar with their 
surroundings. The people are usually friendly and the pets are 
wonderful.”
Bierei’s
 business is mostly referrals from existing customers and people at her 
church, although she is listed on nextdoor.com and some other sites. She
 stopped by on a recent Saturday to see client, Carol Prescott’s two 
long-haired dachshunds, Daisy, 2 and 1/2, and Benson, 3. The dogs jumped
 with excitement to see her and couldn’t wait for her to sit down so 
that they could jump up on the couch next to their owner, but it was 
Bierei who got the dog-kisses. 
Bierei
 can be reached at 714-270-4273. Daisy and Benson appear to have her on 
doggy speed-dial. There are online sites to find pet sitters and house 
sitters, but most people prefer to hire someone who has been referred.
