About: My family has had at least one dog in our house since I was born. Everybody in my family has dogs. I have a few family members that rely on me to help them with their dogs when they need it. Everyone in my family treats their pets like they are humans and I do just the same! I am currently in between jobs so I’m available pretty much whenever. I do have my own dog at home so I prefer to not stay somewhere for a long, extended period of time. I am pretty flexible with that though so just ask me and I’ll let you know if it’s doable! I have a fenced in yard. I have a 14 year old rescue that just mainly stays to herself. There is a 1 year old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix now living here as well, under the care of someone else that’s not me, however she is very rambunctious with other dogs. I do not mind walking them around the neighborhood. In my family, we treat our dogs like they are humans and they are like our children!

About: I have hands on experience with dog walking, house sitting, and cat sitting, and I’ve also had dogs of my own, giving me a strong understanding of daily care, routines, and pet behavior. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail oriented, making sure your pet stays on their routine and feels comfortable at home. I provide updates, follow instructions closely, and prioritize your pet’s safety and well being at all times. I’m currently a nursing student working part time, but I have a flexible schedule and make time for pet care. With summer break coming up, I’ll have significantly more availability and flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and house sitting. I can accommodate more daytime care during the summer. I’m reliable with scheduling and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I have experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of proper introductions, routines, and supervision. I will always follow your pet’s routine closely. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, attentive, and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.

About: I love animals and have cared for friends’ pets whenever they’ve needed a trusted dog sitter. I’ve also fostered dogs for Take Paws Rescue, from young puppies to senior dogs, which has given me experience with pets of all ages and personalities. I treat every animal with patience, love, and attention, the same way I would want someone to care for my own pets. I recently stepped away from my full time job and currently have a very flexible schedule with open availability. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and consistency throughout the day. I currently have three rescue dogs of my own, a Doberman puppy, a two year old Doberman, and a small mixed breed. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Because of my own pets, I prefer caring for animals in their own home where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I always treat every pet with patience, love, and care as if they were my own.

About: I love caring for cats and keeping them company. I have house/cat sitted in New York, San Juan, Santo Domingo, Rome, Copenhagen and Los Angeles. I am a freelance musician and I currently work part time doing deliveries mostly at night so my schedule is flexible to accommodate any needs. Most of my free time is during the day and then after 10pm. I take time to get to know your pets and discuss if they have special needs. I like to meet them when the owner is present, so they feel safe and we can talk about the interactions.

Holly Grove, New Orleans, LA, 70118

About: As a pet sitter and dog owner, I’m intentional about how I care for every pet because they are truly family. Along with my dog experience, I also spent two years cat sitting, providing check-ins, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and giving comfort and attention. I have experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I focus on meeting each one where they are to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve owned three dogs and lived with several others, giving me hands-on experience with daily care routines. I’m comfortable feeding, refreshing water, administering medications (pills, ear cleaning, ointments), and providing both short and long walks, along with playtime tailored to your dog’s needs. In my last two years caring for senior dogs, I learned the importance of patience and adaptability—whether that meant slower walks, cleaning up accidents, or providing gentle muscle massages to keep them comfortable. I also have experience recognizing and responding to emergencies, such as reverse sneezing and muscle strains, and I act quickly to seek veterinary care when needed. You can count on me to follow detailed instructions closely and provide thoughtful, reliable care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am a full-time graduate student with a flexible schedule outside of my required classes. I am available on weekends, Wednesdays, and Fridays, as well as most mornings and evenings throughout the week. I provide care in my client’s home to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their routine. I communicate with owners beforehand to understand each pet’s needs and follow all instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, playtime, and clean-up. I adjust to each pet’s behavior and energy level to ensure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I genuinely love animals and pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and routines. After years in Human Resources, I’m patient, dependable, communicative, and highly detail-oriented. I’m taking a step back from corporate Human Resources and will have a very flexible schedule to dedicate quality time, attention, and care to your pets. As an animal lover and pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, patient, and communicative caring for your furry family members. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment tailored to each pet’s routine and comfort level. Whether I’m dog walking, drop-in visiting, or pet sitting in a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, active, well-supervised, and cared for like they’re my own. I also believe in clear communication and will provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins for peace of mind.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a kid, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with senior and younger pets. I cared for my own dog in her later years when she developed back leg problems. I helped her move around the house, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her lots of love and patience every day. I additionally took care of my other dog in her early months waking up multiple times nightly to calm her down. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m confident in handling all kinds of needs. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, so I’m able to care for pets whenever needed. Pet care easily fits my routine, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pets specific needs and schedule.your pets comfort and routine will always come first. I believe pets are most comfortable and relaxed in their own home, which is why I only offer care in the clients space. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect in return. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

I can’t recommend Cody enough. She is a pet charmer. My 2 dogs and cat warmed to her quickly, she is an excellent communicator, and has a gentle presence. My one dog was nervous and hid before the first walk. Cody spent 30 min gently coaxing her out. After the first walk, all 3 of my animals were comfortable and happy. She sat with them after every walk for extra minutes and shared great pics with me. I will always check her availability first in the future

About: Former Registered Nurse, forever animal lover! I truly enjoy taking care of animals and people. I have had dogs all my life, my mom even had 6 dachshunds at one time in our lives! She currently has three large Bernedoodles that I house sit and walk for her when she needs. I have two senior Labrador Retrievers that live with my dad and his Border collie, who I house sit, walk, and eternally throw a ball to when he needs. I also occasionally baby sit my sister’s havanese and brother’s dachshunds. So I guess you could say I have experience with dogs big and small and all ages. I currently teach motorcycle safety classes at NOLA Riding Academy on weekends so I’m available most weekdays. I currently teach motorcycle safety classes at NOLA Riding Academy on weekends so I am available most weekdays and some weekends. I live in Elmwood/River Ridge area. I have experience walking a 95lb chill bernedoodle, an excited 78lb bernedoodle, an incredibly energetic 35lb border collie, a 10lb curious dachshund, and a 6lb havanese that just wants to do her business and get back inside. After some treat bribing I can get my mom’s timid 36lb bernedoodle to go on a walk and once she’s out she loves it! I can throw the ball for hours to my dad’s never tired border collie and can get him back into his crate when it’s time. I pet my attention loving yellow lab until I collect a hairball the size of him.

About: Hello, I’m so excited to have you stumble upon my account!! My name is Montanna and I’ve lived in Louisiana my whole life. From Gonzales, to Denham Springs, to Baton Rouge, and now in Uptown. I’m 27 years old and graduated from LSU back in 2021 with a degree in Nutrition. My family has ALWAYS had animals whether it be 14 kittens at once! A couple bunnies, or just a classic family dog. From a very young age I've always felt like animals were my friends just as people were. I love to make a strong connection with pets where I know they know they can trust me. I go on long walks everyday anyway (10-15k steps) and love getting sunshine. I also spend most of my other time in the house watching movies and sewing on my sewing machine and have plenty of time to give care and attention to someone’s sweet fur baby. Let’s go get a pup cup together! 💕🐾🐾 I’m working very part time so this is perfect for me. I spend most of my time at home or out on a walk and would love to help out pet lovers with their busy schedules while mine is rather free. Hanging with a furry friend would be just as beneficial for me while I’m home needing company just as much as them. I am only busy Tuesday evening to Thursday evening so Thursday night to Tuesday afternoon I am free and open for bookings! Me and my cat Charlie are ready to provide a safe space to hangout. For dogs, I love right next to parks and have plenty of walking areas right around my home. I will ask many questions and follow your exact pets needs in my home as well as yours. If you book an overnight you can rest easy knowing I will be there all night. Your animal is safe with me!

About: I’m a dog trainer and former veterinary technician, which means I bring both behavioral and medical experience to every dog I care for. I’m comfortable with puppies, seniors, high-energy working breeds, and dogs with special needs or medical routines. What sets me apart is that I don’t just “watch” dogs I understand them, structure their environment, and keep them safe and relaxed. Every dog in my care gets individualized attention, exercise, and consistency in a calm, secure home environment. Pet care is part of my daily routine and I structure my schedule around the dogs in my care. I provide regular potty breaks, feeding, exercise, and supervised play throughout the day, along with calm rest periods so dogs stay comfortable and relaxed. I adjust my routine based on each dog’s needs, whether that’s more exercise for high-energy dogs or a calmer environment for older or lower-energy dogs. My goal is to make sure every dog is safe, well cared for, and treated like part of the family. In my home, pets are cared for in a structured, safe, and calm environment where their well-being comes first. I’m a dog trainer and former veterinary technician, so I’m experienced with a wide range of dogs, including those with medical needs, behavioral challenges, and high-energy working breeds. Each dog is given their own kennel for rest and to ensure they feel secure and comfortable when not directly supervised. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, exercise, feeding, and enrichment throughout the day based on their individual needs and routines. I also have a large fenced-in backyard that allows for safe off-leash play and structured enrichment activities. My focus is always on maintaining a stable environment where dogs feel safe, trusted, and understood while reinforcing good behavior and consistency.

About: ---> Sorry, I do NOT accept most spunky, young dogs Over 40 pounds. Most of the small pets I care for cannot physically handle playing with most dogs over 40 pounds. (Unless your pet is an elder and/or they're very mellow) <--- My name is Melissa (aka. "Missy"). I'd like to care for your precious pet the next time you need some help. Do you have somewhere to go, or something to do? Let me help you, at your place or mine!?! You & your pet can book me for a caring, one hour, drop-in visit to your home, a few overnight visits, or an extended stay at my house. You need help at the last minute ... ? No problem. I can easily provide safe pet transportation. I can also help you fulfill the rules & requirements at a "Pet-Friendly" NOLa hotel, when the rules say, “you cannot leave your pet in the hotel room alone”. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant - This means your precious pet will NEVER be left alone for long hours, whenever they're in my care. I will be at your pet's side, while you take care of business or if you have a fun get-away planned. I’m very comfortable with many different animals & dog breeds, including elderly dogs that need a mellow, safe space with calm, gentle care. I pay close attention to what your dog likes & dis-likes, along with their personality quirks & individual needs. I enjoy caring for all animals, both young & old. I do not accept more than 2-3 dogs at a time. I USUALLY only schedule ONE family's pet(s) at the same time, especially if there’s a new dog client. I always put in a great deal of consideration, before scheduling more than one family's pet at the same time. My home is very spacious, clean, well-organized & safe. I have a large, gated/enclosed & secure, backyard. The dogs that stay with me are ALWAYS supervised. My eyes will be on your pet constantly, while we play at your home or mine, both inside & outside. Allow me to love & care for your precious pet, while you take care of you. Let's discuss your needs. I do offer one free meet & greet. Other than dogs, I also have experience caring for: Cats, Birds, Bunnies, Turtles, Lizards, Snakes, Hamsters, Fish, Frogs, Chickens & Plants. Most of my pet guests are small, therefore any extra frisky, playful pet, over 40 pounds may cause physical harm, even if they are just playing. I'd rather not take that chance. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant. I’m rarely away from the house for more than 2-3 hours. I will always keep my eyes on your pet, even when the pet is roaming around the backyard. My backyard has a 9 ft. high, wooden fence. I also have a gated entry, front-yard/patio. I can provide crates if needed. My 20pound dog is 8yrs. old and he is very mellow & well behaved. He welcomes another dog friend anytime. We have a trusted routine for introducing new pet guests.
