Dog Boarding in Bywater, New Orleans, LA

“Michael is so kind and helpful. I was nervous to leave my fur-child with someone new to go out of town. He made me feel at ease from the start and my pup also did very well. He was prompt in all communication and let me know how she was doing periodically. Would definitely recommend and I plan to have him watch her again for the next trip!”

“ I'm so glad that Jeaux and I had the opportunity to book with Ms. Elena. She also has a Toy Chihuahua named Paco and they became like "three peas in a pod!” My drop-off day was very hectic and behind schedule due to me preparing to go out of town, but Ms.Elena was pleasant and patient with me. When we arrived to her home, we were welcomed into a beautiful, clean space with Southern Hospitality galore! During the stay she emailed me updates along with pics and videos of their playtime. Once I arrived home she offered to meet me at a convenient location to drop-off my baby, that she now calls “her baby”, since we lived a bit of a distance from one another. Sooo sweet...but that's not the best part. When I received Jeaux he had been bathed, his bed and towel washed and she even sent him home with his favorite toy from the visit! If you want someone to treat your dog like their own, this is the place. My experience with Ms. Elena was pleasant from start to finish and I would highly recommend her services. Jeaux gives her two paws up :)”

“Roxanne took such good care of our girl for a week while we were out of town. She had friends to play with and Roxanne sent us several photos and updates to keep us in the loop. We would definitely take our dog back to stay with her again!”

“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Ms. Etta is THE BEST! She always takes such great care of my boy and always going above and beyond to make sure he’s taken care of, including keeping Bronx in an emergency or if something comes up. She’s Amazing with him and just a beautiful soul all around.”

“Michael and Rachel took absolutely wonderful care of my dog Gizmo while I was away! From the moment we met, I could tell they genuinely love animals and treat them like family. They were attentive, responsible, and incredibly kind — sending me regular updates and photos that made me feel completely at ease. Gizmo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know he was in such caring and capable hands. I highly recommend Michael and Rachel to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate dog sitters!”

“My dog was so happy at drop off when he saw Mike again! Mike went above and beyond as usual, playing with my pup daily and making sure he felt so loved. I have already booked him for future trips. Thank you so much for always sending plenty of updates/photos!”

Margarida D.

“Absolutely amazing pet sitter! They took such great care of my fur baby — super reliable, communicative, and clearly love animals. I got regular updates and photos, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pet. I had total peace of mind the whole time. I would 100% recommend and will definitely be booking again!”

Aunjanee I.

“She is amazing. She responded super fast, took great care of my 2 kitties, and was very nice. When I’m back in New Orleans I’m booking with her again.”

Maria M.

“Iryna was incredibly sweet and nurturing to our cats, Ziggy & Roux! Her communication with me throughout their stay with her was impeccable. We hope to work with Iryna again!”

Mike M.

“There’s not enough thank you notes I can give Sarah. As we are traveling across states for the holidays, she accommodated us and took care of my baby. We had many issues in our traveling and she still accommodated. I also loved that Sarah took Pluto out several times throughout the day and he obviously felt right at home. I’d recommend her to everyone! She was amazing!”

“We were extremely lucky to find Evlin on Rover when we were staying in New Orleans for our vacation. She knows dogs very well and takes great care of them. She did a wonderful job with our dog for two days and made us comfortable from starting from the first phone call to the pick-up. She sent many pictures to us while she was taking care of our dog to let us know that he is in good hands. I would recommend her to anyone with a small to medium dog, especially if you are stopping by New Orleans and in need of quick and trustworthy help. If there was a 10 star option, I would have left a 10 out of 10. Thanks Evlin!”

About: Hi, I’m Britt — a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter. I had my sweet pup Abbie for 10 wonderful years, and since her recent passing, I’ve deeply missed having a dog around. I’m not quite ready to adopt again just yet, but I’d love to share my home and heart with your pup in the meantime. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless friends’ dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I work remotely (as does my partner), so your dog will have constant company, attention, and care. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a spacious yard that’s fully enclosed with double-secured fencing — perfect for safe play and lounging in the sun. I also have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and TLC they may need. Whether your pup is energetic or a couch cuddler, they’ll be treated like family here. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — I’d love to hear about your dog and how I can help! Right now, I’m freelancing remotely through November — my main job runs from November to June, so I currently have a super flexible schedule and work from home full-time. That means your pup will rarely be left alone and can expect lots of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m available for daytime care, overnights, or longer stays depending on your needs! I’m currently in a pet-free home, so your dog will get all the attention without the stress of sharing space with other animals. I live in a cozy New Orleans shotgun-style house that’s easy to section off depending on your dog’s needs — whether they like their own space or prefer to be close by. We also have a double-secured fenced yard that’s great for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. While this profile is just for me, my partner is also home full-time and a calm, animal-loving presence. He’s especially patient with dogs who may be shy or nervous around men. I’m happy to accommodate crate training, medication, or any specific routines to help your pup feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me.

“Margaret was great with Brody and treated him as her own. Long walks and lots of love! He’s found a new fav!”

“Christine and her kiddos do an amazing job caring for Sneaux while I’m away! They make sure to send video and picture updates and check in several times a day. My trips are less stressful because I know my baby is being well taken care of!”

Kristian D.

“Regina is amazing! My dog is very very skittish and usually needs a lot of time to get used to new people. I wonder how Regina could win my dog's trust so quickly! I cannot think of a better sitter than Regina!”

Romy E.

“Alejandra is the best! She sends pictures, videos, and updates and is so patient with our anxious pup. This was our dog’s second stay with her, and I know she treats him so well because he was so excited to see her.”

Emily P.

“Cora loved Shelby's home. Shelby sent photos and videos and little messages throughout our trip, which really eased our worries about leaving Cora for the first time. Cora was happy and energetic when I picked her up and Shelby's mother expressed her love our pup. Thank you for caring for our girl!”

Oliver A.

“I am always a bit hesitant about leaving my sweet yet very active pitbull in someone's care. Michelle assuaged all my concerns and took amazing care of my dog. Michelle's husband took my active dog walking and running and gave her plenty of exercise. I found a lean and very happy dog on my return. Michelle sent me daily pictures of Millie enjoying her staycation and having a wonderful time with other dogs. Millie was socialized, exercised, cared for, and I am delighted to have found Michelle. Millie found her permanent sitter. Lucky us!”

Lourdes R.

“Mary was a wonderful sitter. She sent pictures and kept me updated on the status of my fur baby. He seemed to be in great spirits upon picking him up. Will definitely recommend Mary as a sitter and utilize her service again in the near future.”

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.
