Pet Sitting Avondale

“My dogs love her and she is awesome communicating and making sure my babies are taken care of! She will definitely be the first person I ask next time I need help.”

About: ---> Sorry, I do NOT accept most spunky, young dogs Over 30 pounds. Most of the small pets I care for cannot physically handle playing with most dogs over 30 pounds. There's no setting for that weight on Rover. (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 can book your pet for a caring, one hour, drop-in visit to your home, a few overnight visits, or an extended stay at my house. Do you need help at the last minute ... ? No problem. I'm happy to provide pet transportation, if needed. 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 30 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 double gated entry, front-yard patio. I can also provide crates if needed. My 20 pound dog is 8yrs. old and he is very mellow & well behaved. He always welcomes another dog friend, anytime. We have a trusted routine for introducing new pet guests.

“Great job, Cody! We felt perfectly at ease leaving our precious "girls" with you! Thank you for your attention to detail and attentiveness, they were extremely well cared for.”

About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently am a Mother of 3 human children(1 grown) and 4-four legged sons and daughters. I also substitute teach. I have a bachelors degree from UNO. I have reliable transportation and am trustworthy. My pets live indoors but can play supervised outdoors. I also walk them on a leash daily. I can usually get cats to love me within 5 minutes or less 🐶🐱

“This was my first time using the Rover app, and Nicole was amazing. She came over a day early to meet my dog, Jake, make sure they got along, and pick up a key. They immediately hit it off, and she went above and beyond while I was out of town. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, took him on car rides, and even let him visit with her pups, with my permission of course. Jake was more sad watching her leave than he was excited to see me, lol. I highly recommend Nicole and will definitely be using her again!”

About: Hi! I’m Kaylee, a student at Loyola University New Orleans, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had a variety of pets throughout my life, including dogs and cats. I have over 4 years of experience caring for animals and officially began offering pet-sitting services through Rover this summer. As a college student, my availability is based around my class schedule, and I’m available to pet sit whenever I don’t have classes. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that gives your pet the attention and care they need while you’re away! I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting throughout the New Orleans area. I care for pets of all personalities and make sure their individual routines, feeding instructions, walks, playtime, and other needs are followed closely! As a student at Loyola University New Orleans, I structure my daily routine around pet care visits, walks, and house sitting. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate specific times throughout the morning, midday, afternoon, and evening for drop-ins and walks. For house sitting, I base myself directly at your home to ensure consistent supervision, evening companionship, and adherence to your pet’s exact routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining their normal environment and daily habits to keep them relaxed and stress-free. I strictly follow all owner instructions, including meal portioning, fresh water refills, walking routes, and medication schedules. I keep living areas clean, secure the home upon entry and exit, and send clear photo and text updates during every visit so you always have full peace of mind.

“Ashley was fantastic! We had a last minute cancellation with my dog’s sitter and Ashley was responsive and willing to watch her while we were out of town. I have a Rottweiler and she was very comfortable watching her and Daisy seemed to have a great time. I got detailed info on the check ins with lots of pics. Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs or has dogs since I was little. When I got older I decided to get my own dog because they are so loving. I have plenty of time on my hands to give lots of love and attention to your pets. Your pet can fit in my daily routine especially because I own one of my own. Your pet is your family and I understand what it’s like to be away from them. But your pets will be completely safe with whatever you prefer me doing for your pets to make you and your pets feel safe and comfortable .

“Payton was phenomenal! Great to work with, fully trustworthy, showed up at the requested times and went above and beyond what I ever expected. I honestly think my dog was disappointed to see me and not her when I got home. There isn’t enough stars to show I much I appreciate Payton and her service. Will use her again!! (If not my dog may run away to go find her)”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life From Jack Russel’s to Great Danes. I’ve volunteered at vets and shelters and provided care for sick and elderly pets. I have pet sat for years and enjoy providing company and comfort to pets when their owners are away/busy. I work from home full time so have a huge flexibility on my ability to take care of pets or work from other locations if needed! I have a large yard with a brand new and secure fence. I have a well trained and friendly dog and two cats that are super friendly!

About: Nothing, I'm just a regular guy that dogs&cats know is a great person. I give off good vibes only. This is an opportunity to learn about pets in general and meet new people. Open to negotiation on a price we both can agree on. If you're a fan of anime, I'm your guy. Easily. I've fallen on hard times and am learning new skills currently. Which makes me available all the time. All day every day. Always available essentially. I like to be secure. Always lock the door before leaving the house. I’m a 2nd black belt in Taekwondo, blue belt in BJJ, and have practiced Muay Thai and Judo, and am a decorated wrestler. If it's a big dog I am sitting and anything happens we will become a tag team in perfect sync. The 2nd thing is organization and cleanliness. I despise clutter, hate leaving a mess. My greatest offer is security when I watch your pets and your home.

About: I have over 5 years of experience working at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—including puppies, senior dogs, and anxious pets. I also have experience caring for cats and am the proud owner of a 7-year-old Sphynx, so I understand the unique care and attention cats need. Your pet will be treated like family while they’re with me. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away.

“My pup loves her and she does her best to work with my fluid schedule!”

“Rebecca took care of my 3 fur babies great! Was always on time and communicated if things came up. Would book with her again!”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, cats, and even a few small pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve house and pet sat for over 40 families, many of whom now trust me as their regular sitter. I have experience with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I treat every animal like family and always do my best to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for regularly. Whether I’m walking dogs, stopping by for check-ins, or doing overnight stays, I plan my schedule around giving pets the attention they need. I’m flexible and reliable, and I always make sure each pet gets quality time, exercise, and love. Taking care of animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me. It’s a meaningful part of my routine that I truly look forward to. In a client’s home, I do everything I can to keep their pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions closely. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles if they want them. I also keep the home clean and tidy, respecting the space as if it were my own. Whether it’s a quick visit or an overnight stay, I treat every pet with care, patience, and love.

About: I’m a Tulane Law student who has pet sat for friends and neighbors for over 12 years. I have a flexible school schedule and would love to spend my extra time making sure your dogs and cats are safe, well cared for, and having fun while you’re away! I am a full-time student with flexible hours. I have no weekend school or job commitments, and during the week I’m available for walks, check-ins, etc before and after my classes (typically 10-1pm). I’m happy to discuss specifics with you and find a schedule that works best for your pets, so please feel free to reach out! I have experience with animals that are crate trained and those who are not, and am happy to fulfill whatever roles you need to ensure your pets are kept in their routines while you’re away.

About: Hi, my name is Julie! I worked at the Camp Bow Wow in Baton Rouge for 3 years, and was general manager my last 2 years. I left in May of 2021 and have dog sat for roughly 8-10 clients year round since leaving Camp. I just moved back home to Nola and am looking for new people to dogsit for. I have experience with big and small dogs, puppies and old dogs, and I love them all. I can’t wait to meet your pups!❤️😊 I currently work full time, Monday-Friday and 8:00 AM-4:30 PM. I’m available most weekends or can even due week time stays. All of the dogsitting I’ve done before was in-home stays at the dog’s personal house. I like to learn their schedule and make them feel comfortable. I’m there for them and to give the parents peace of mind their pet is being taken care of (and sometimes spoiled).

About: I am a pet owner and a animal lover. I have experience with caring for dogs as well as cats. I own a Rottweiler, everybody should know how high maintenanced and how high in energy they are. Knowing that I can handle him with no ease, caring for your dog will be a beeze!!! I have worked with many animals and I am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. Growing up I've always volunteered at many animal shelters. I am an energetic undergraduate student at Jackson State University with a flexible schedule. I live with a family of five who also love pets. Your dog will get plenty of excercise. I am very flexible especially during the weekends. BOOK ME, I look forward to meeting your pets! Because I have the responsibility of making sure another dog is cared for! Enough food, water and necessities! I go above and beyond for dogs because they can’t talk to us so why not be attentive to them in every way possible I care for pets as if they’re were my own. I would expect the same care and attention for my dog from others if I were not around so I have no choice but to provide that to others dogs! Dogs/ cats are the greatest gift we could ever have asked for so I believe in treating them with love and care.
