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.

“Jordan was great! My cats came out to say say hi to her, so, I know they liked her too!”

About: I have more than 30 years of dog-sitting experience, and I have worked in the medical field for 32 years. Caring for others has always been a big part of who I am, and that same compassion, patience, and dedication extend to every fur baby entrusted to my care. When your baby is with me, they aren’t just a pet I’m watching they’re family! My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and never lonely while you’re away. A Safe, Loving Home Environment I live in a large home with a spacious, fully fenced, gated, and secured backyard where your baby can enjoy fresh air, playtime, and room to explore safely. I also have a dedicated puppy room to ensure your baby has a comfortable, secure space whenever needed. I am home most of the time. If I need to step out briefly and can safely bring your baby along, I will. If not, your baby will be safely settled in my designated puppy room. Your Baby’s Daily Routine Morning and evening walks every day Potty breaks every two hours or as needed Plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles Fresh food and water according to your instructions Special attention to your dog’s individual routine and needs Updates and pictures to give you peace of mind Special Needs?

With my medical background and First Aid and CPR certifications, safety and preparedness are priorities. I take my responsibility seriously and will always do my best to provide attentive, responsible care. I currently work out of my home and I’m available at all times so I can watch your fur babies.

About: I have had cats for so many years of my life before having a few dogs and then birds and hamster's added in to our life during the time of having multiple cats. We only have cats now since the year of October 2010 til current times. I'm passionate about working with animals and providing attentive care. I have hands-on experience caring for animals in home settings, including feeding, cleaning, and monitoring their well-being. Skilled at safely handling dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, experienced in cleaning kennels, feeding animals, monitoring their health, able to follow instructions for animal care routines and respond quickly to any issues. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with usually any animal to ensure they are safe and happy, so I think it would make a good fit for your animal to be cared for and looked after. I work at a local arena that is near the French Quarter area. I work in the Housekeeping Department, so my schedule can be pretty flexible because I don't work 5 or more days of the week by a rigid schedule of someone else telling me I have to come to work on. I schedule myself for when I am available to work. I usually only work around 1-4 days a week at best. Sometimes there is no event for one or two weeks because of a certain reason. • I am usually working early in the day by 9:00 AM til the afternoon like 3:00 / 4:00 PM. I work later events that have me showing up around 1:00 PM / 2:30 PM before the event starts til the end of the event around 9:00 PM from August during heavy amounts of events going on til April or May during slower amounts of events going on. • Between April / May til August, I am completely available to do anything you need for Boarding, House-Sitting, and Doggy Day Care because I don't really have anything going on except grocery / prescription runs for my mom and possibly me at another store, and with doctor's appointment for me and my mom. **Availability & Visit Times - Westbank** I offer midday drop-in visits usually between 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM daily. This window lets me give each pet full, unrushed attention for feeding, litter, play, and cuddles. If you need a specific time within that window, just ask! I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Serving Algiers to Westwego. $10 off your first booking 🐾 The only days I couldn't be available will be three days in usually July when I go out of town to Houma, LA for the days I will have blocked off on here as unavailable. • Once the basketball 🏀 season ends, I don't work again because it slows up very, very much until August once again. I use whatever little bit of money I saved during that time to focus on me and other things. Taking on taking care of other people's pets could be something I could consider doing on days and periods that I ain't working for my other job.

“Amara took great care of our two cat babies. She was very quick with clear communication and sent pictures and videos often. She even moved our furniture when there was an unexpected leak from the roof so our belongings weren't damaged. Thank you Amara for helping manage what would have been a stressful situation with our emergency home repairs while we were on vacation. Highly recommend. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I have had pets my whole life. Also, I prefer dogs but I have a couple years of experience helping out with my sister’s cats. I currently work remotely. So, I can be wherever you need me on any given day or time. I don’t normally work on weekends. I live with my girlfriend and her Boston Terrier ‘Haley’. She has a fenced in backyard to run around in and gets to chase around the ball a lot.

About: I've always loved animals and am naturally compassionate. While growing up my family had a small breed dog, and I personally owned hamsters and fish which I was the sole caretaker of. I am also a former Junior [Zoo] Keeper, which equipped me with reptile care experience. As an adult, I have had a German Shepherd, cats, and fish as well. I am adaptable and am confident in my ability to provide competent care for a wide variety of species. I am available for house sitting any days of the week, and available for drop-ins and walks after 5pm Mon-Fri and all throughout weekend days. I will be happy to abide by your house rules and pet care guidelines, respect your home, and give loving care to your animal(s). Don't shy away from being specific about your preferences

About: I specialize in one-on-one care for anxious, sensitive, and extra-affectionate pets who thrive with individualized attention. Whether your fur baby experiences separation anxiety, doesn’t do well around other animals, or simply needs extra love and reassurance, I provide a calm, comfortable home where they can feel safe and cared for. I’m a writer who works from home, lives alone, and **boards only one pet at a time.** That means no other animals, no children, and plenty of personalized attention for your baby throughout the day. Your fur baby can enjoy walks, playtime, belly rubs, couch cuddles, or simply having a comforting human nearby. I’ve always been an animal lover and find that time with them is as valuable to me, as it is to them. I spent four wonderful years with my sweet cat, Henry, and helped co-raise an adorable Goldendoodle, Paris, for three years before she moved away with her other pet parent. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends, family, and Rover clients over the years. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so your fur baby gets to be the center of attention! I’m affectionate, patient, dependable, and committed to making your pet feel as loved and comfortable as they would at home. I’m a full-time, stay-at-home writer, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your fur baby lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I love having a furry companion join me for my morning and evening walks. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I only board pets from one household at a time, so your fur baby gets plenty of individual attention and a calm, secure environment without unfamiliar pets coming and going. I have a large fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, and I’m also walking distance from a beautiful large park that’s perfect for longer walks and exploring. I have a dog crate available for crate-trained pups, and I’m happy to follow your usual feeding, walking, sleeping, and household routines so your pet feels as comfortable and at home as possible while you’re away.

“Thank you for taking care of my boys while I was out of town! I much appreciated the updates on their eating behavior as I know they can be picky at times!”

About: When your pets stay with me, they get my full attention. I'm currently freelancing and work mostly from home, besides the occasional meeting, in-person project, or event. I prefer to host one pet family at a time, so that I can give each client and crew my utmost effort, compassion, and care. I want to make sure your family members are thriving and living their best lives while you're away! I've cared for cats, dogs, and even turtles since I was a kid. I'm an avid foster with the Louisiana SPCA and have volunteered with animal welfare organizations across the state since I was a teenager. I've cared for almost every kind of dog: the chill seniors, the anxious rescues, and the gregarious goofballs. I enjoy exploring the colorful neighborhoods of New Orleans with a companion by my side. I also love teaching and learning new tricks, and I'm always down for an impromptu playtime. In my free time, I'm a passionate circus artist, so I'm usually juggling tennis balls when I'm not throwing them for fetch. I'm a lifelong New Orleanian, so I know all the coolest (literally) spots in town. Whether that's a long sniffy and shaded walk in City Park, or a breezy stroll along the lakefront, I make sure all of our adventures are catered to your pet's comfort and schedule. I'm currently freelancing, so I have ample free time to care for pets of all kinds. With enough notice, I can generally be available any day of the week at any time. I'm able to work mostly remotely, and I try to structure my days around hanging with your pets at your house or at mine. When I do have to leave pets alone, I make sure they're cozy with fresh food and water, toys, and plenty of napping space. I ask lots of questions during our meet-and-greets and our communications to ensure we're aligned on your family's needs schedule-wise, and so that I understand your pet's normal daily routine. I try to keep my calendar current, so you can see when I'm available and when I'm not, but reach out anytime! Your pet stays with me whether in your home or at my own. My flexible schedule allows me to hang out and check in often. I have reliable transportation that allows me to fetch the essentials and the luxuries, like treats. My home has a fenced yard, so there's plenty of space for secure outdoor activities. I also have a pool, so when it's hot, there's a place to cool off. If I'm boarding your pet, I'll follow your lead when it comes to swimming. If your dog loves water, we can swim together, and if they're not a swimmer, I'll make sure we stay dry. I'm always happy to share more details about our yard during our conversations or a meet-and-greet. On walks, we use the leashes and gear you provide and that your pet is familiar with. Alternatively, I can also bring my own leashes if you'd like. I follow your instructions around feeding, routine, and medications (I appreciate having your instructions written down). I refer to your preferred vet and pet hospital information. As a local New Orleanian, I'm resourceful and knowledgeable about the multitude of pet resources in town that help your pet stay healthy and happy, from clinics that offer free vaccines to local restaurants that are pup-friendly.

About: I'm a very attentive and tidy pet owner to give the pets as much love and as much space as the appear to need. I respect pets, independence and no the most of their social cues to tell me what they need. While I'm completing Project Manager certification and job hunting for Engineering work in the Renewable Energy Industry, I love getting out everyday for sunset walk (or run for dogs that need it). I've dated a Vet Technician and learned a lot from her with her kitten and elder cat. I've even shared a dog and had to endure putting it down sadly. I'm very attentive with pets and love giving them just the right amount of attention, or space, that they enjoy naturally. I respect pets like any other member of the family.
