About: Skilled pet sitter with 3 years of experience. I sincerely enjoy spending time with all animals and I strive to treat every cat or dog as if they were my own! Happy to help when and where I'm needed along with providing any critical care that may be required. Please know that I will gladly spoil your pet to the fullest extent (: I'm currently working part-time while also being in the Army National Guard! I tend to be free majority of the week and normally the weekends as well if I don't have drill. Please feel free to message me with any availability inquiries that you may have (: If boarding, I have a fenced in yard along with a spacious home that includes french doors that I can close off from the rest of my house in case I'm babysitting a small kitten or puppy that may require a watchful eye!
About: I have many years of experience working in the animal industry, not only from managing dog daycare and boarding facilities, but also managing a therapeutic management company for animal healthcare- specializing in PCR molecular diagnostics for all animals. Please note that I primarily offer 1:1 bookings, caring for only one family’s pets at a time to ensure they receive my full attention. However, during peak periods such as holidays, I may accommodate multiple families simultaneously. Please also note that Rover takes 20% from me for each stay. If your pet requires an exclusive, one-on-one environment, I am more than happy to honor that — I simply ask that you communicate any specific needs or concerns prior to booking. Transparency helps me provide the best and safest care possible for every pet in my home. During your pet’s stay, activities may include walks, outings to City Park, enrichment toys, treats, brush-outs with pet-safe perfume, kitty pool time, thorough cleaning of bowls and scoops, and multiple photo updates each day. If you would like to decline any of these services for any reason, please let me know in advance. Please note that not all pets will participate in every activity each day, as daily routines are customized based on your dog’s personality and needs. (All dogs get brushed out, perfume, bowls cleaned, and photos for every stay unless stated otherwise.) I’m a full time Rover employee, willing to accommodate time changes last minute, have dogs extend their stay with no problem, and ensure the health and safety of your beloved pet 100% of the time. 🐶🤘 Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or administering any special care they need, I prioritize their well-being. I also plan my schedule to allow flexibility for pet sitting, ensuring I can accommodate different needs, whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly fur baby to keep your pup company! There are plenty of enrichment toys to keep them busy, along with natural, tasty treats for some extra tail wags. It’s definitely a dog’s world in this household!
“She gave great updates and pictures of both my cat and dog. You could tell she really enjoyed being with them and they loved having her come and play. I will be recommending her to all my friends and use her again!”
“Lindsay is such a wonderful sitter for our cat Blue! She’s very responsive and always very on time and communicative. She takes tons of pictures and I can tell Blue likes her so much! When we come home from trips where Lindsay looked after her, Blue is always very relaxed and not stressed that we’ve been gone. I highly recommend Lindsay”
“Arises was so helpful and caring with our two cats while we were out of town. She interacted with them (as much as they would allow) and made sure their needs were met. Would not hesitate to have her take care of them again!”
“Alyce was amazing with my cat Deku over Memorial Day weekend! She sent thoughtful updates, kept him happy and comfortable, and I came home to a relaxed, well-cared-for kitty. Highly recommend and would definitely book with her again! 🐾”
“Mindy is always great with Scout! I appreciate how communicative she is when she enters the home. She sends lots of pictures of Scout playing, being a goofball, and overall enjoying her company! I tell Scout “Aunty Mindy” is coming over and he quickly runs to the door to look for her.”
“Nikki came over to check on my pups while I was away for work. My anxious dogs were well-taken care of and Nikki won them over by the end of the visit! I’m excited (and so are my dogs) for future visits from Nikki!”
About: I have owned and taken care of others pets for 35 years. I live in the French Quarter but will travel at a reasonable distance. I work part time and have three days off a week. I am willing to sit on my work days but it would be after 5:00 p.m. In my home I have a balcony and a courtyard. I take my dog to Cabrini Park 3 days a week. I also walk him on the river.
About: After a tragically pet-free childhood, I've spent the last 20 years seeking out any opportunity to care for animals—from free dog walking for friends and cat-sitting for vacationing pals to hiking with hounds and being a designated vet chauffeur. I love exploring the outdoors with a dog, chucking sticks across empty fields, and praising them for every "good stretch"! I do everything I can to make pet parents feel comfortable and assured when they leave their furry friends in my care—including plenty of photos and updates! I work from home as a writer/editor and a live-edge woodworker, so my schedule is entirely flexible and under my control. I have a fenced-in backyard with ample shade where I often write and work, so outside time is always available for the animals I care for. I love walking the city and wandering through green spaces, especially Audubon Park and City Park, and having a puppy pal to accompany me makes it even more enjoyable. My interior home space is approximately 1,800 square feet, with multiple couches and rooms and sunspots for dogs and/or cats to relax and lounge. The fenced-in backyard is well-secured with a 6-foot fence for stress-free bathroom breaks, and my active lifestyle takes me on at least 2 longer walks each day, typically in the morning and evening. At a client's home, I pride myself on being highly adaptable to new routines and expectations, and my career as an editor makes me very attentive to details, e.g., medication needs, feeding times, sleep schedules, walk durations, etc. Whether you need someone to pop in and play with your pooch for an hour, or leave your animal at my home for a longer trip, you can rest assured they will be cared for, loved and pampered in a safe and comfortable environment.
About: I’ve had pets (dogs and cats) for nearly my entire life! I have a genuine love for all animals and am very attentive & patient. I currently have 3 cats with 3 entirely different personalities, a sweet senior dog, and a fiesty little hamster. Tell me your needs & they shall be met! I work part-time and have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I will work with your requests and be very upfront about expectations before the scheduled visits. I am offering to come to the pet’s home and provide care for them there. Before you’re away, we will schedule a meet up to go over everything. I’m happy to spend as much or as little time with your pets as you desire!
