House Sitting in Bywater, New Orleans, LA

“We’re so happy we found Elizabeth! Both our dog and our cat trusted her right away, and when we came back from our trip, they were both calm and relaxed. It gave us so much peace of mind to know they had company while we were away. She stayed at our home, everything was great with the house too, and we absolutely recommend her 🙌🏻”

“Migle was awesome with our cat and dogs! We received the best photos/updates and Migle made sure our gang had the best time ever while housesitting. Thank you!”

“Cheryl took fantastic care of Maya our pup. We got some great photos, and it was clear that Cheryl and Maya had a great trust and friendship built up. We hope Cheryl is able to cover for us in the future when we're out of town!”

“Nikoleta made me feel confident that my pet was in great hands. She is great at communicating regarding questions or concerns with your pets needs. She truly is an animal lover.”

“Sarah was amazing! She housesat with my pup and my cat while I was out of town and I knew they were in such good hands the whole time! My pup can be nervous when first meeting new people and Sarah was so patient and sweet letting Remy warm to her in her own time showing before showing off her sassy silly self. My cat Sherlock has diabetes and Sarah did an excellent job giving him his insulin. She was super communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures of my little guys.”

“Justin took great care of all 4 pets with all their little quirks and needs. He was communicative and shared a lot of pics. I definitely recommend him and hope he’ll come back soon :)”

“Ian was such a wonderful dog sitter for our pup. He hit it off with Leo during the meet and greet, which is impressive because Leo is often a bit standoffish with new people. Ian followed the care plan we put together for him and was communicative with questions and needs. He sent pictures nearly every day so we knew Leo was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“Chloe is an excellent caretaker!! Very communicative, sent lots of pup pics/updates, and best of all she powered through taking special care of one of our elder pups who needed extra attention. We are so thankful you were able to come through for us so last minute and hope to have you back again!”

“We, and our dog, we’re all very happy. She came early, like I had asked, to meet the dog, and was very good at answering any questions or texts.”

“Monty provided wonderful care for Jello while I was out of the country. They were super responsive when I checked in and sent photos most days, which I really appreciated. They were also great about adapting to my 15 month old’s puppy energy and zoomies, which is no easy feat. Would absolutely book with Monty again.”

Sarah S.

“Jared came through for us when a previous Rover sitter bailed less than a week before our scheduled vacation which we had been planning for a year. He came over for a meet and greet within a day or two of contact. The pups really seemed to like him. We booked him and he showed up which was a great relief after being let down several times before from Rover sitters. We left him detailed instructions and our contact info if there were any problems or questions. He sent us a pic of the dogs when he arrived for the first day and was communicative throughout the stay. He took great care of the pups and was very respectful of our home. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of a reliable sitter. We will use his services again.”

“Catherine took great care of Maggie! She sent loads of photos and videos and Maggie was having a great time in all of them. I came home to a sleepy pup + some of Catherine’s excellent homemade dog treats. I cannot recommend Catherine highly enough!”

“Jamie was fantastic! I contacted her last minute and she easily jumped in as an overnight dog sitter for a long weekend. She is great with my dogs. One is a puppy and the other a senior dog. Both dogs quickly took to her and they enjoyed their new sitter. Jamie is very attentive, honest, caring and flexible. She made my trip so much easier without worrying about the dogs or house. She took care of my dogs and house as if they were her own. I’d recommend Jamie to anyone! I’ll definitely be booking her again! She is the best!”

“Alyssa was perfect for Daisy. She brought her chiweenie Oliver with her and Daisy loved it. Alyssa was thorough and communicative the entire time we were gone. She is a natural pet sitter. We will definitely call upon her again for upcoming trips.”

“Alaina is such a great cat sitter! There was a storm while I was away and I had minimal phone/ internet to get in touch. I was very stressed about it but Alaina handled the emergency so well, took my cat to her house and he was doing great when I got back.”

“Tori was great. Reese got so much attention, treats and toys to play with. I could tell Reese was definitely spoiled while I was away.”

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.

“Look no further for your next dog sitter. On a last minute request, Nikki stepped up and took the best care of my dog over a long weekend. Nikki was extremely caring, thoughtful, engaging, and responsive, and I would highly recommend her for any other dog sitting jobs. After staying overnight for two days, she left my place (and dog) in better shape than she found it, and went above and beyond to provide the best care and service possible. She provided several photo and status updates of my dog while I was away, and it was clear that my dog was thoroughly enjoying her time with Nikki. Nikki has a very kind spirit and I couldn’t recommend her enough for future sitter opportunities.”

“Caitlin was wonderful with my two dogs. She was extremely responsive from the start--even before the stay--and communicated often during the stay with pictures and to give updates. One of my dogs has some allergy issues that require as-needed oral medication, and Caitlin was great about reaching out to update me on my dog's symptoms and then giving him the medicine. My dog also has pretty bad separation anxiety. Caitlin was wonderful with him and my dog even warmed up to her after a day or so--he's usually skittish when I'm gone, so that's really saying something!”
