About: Always grew up with dogs I always ended up being the one to properly take care of them, transitioned into a cat guy in adulthood. I’m new to doing this professionally but have sat dogs and cats for friends and family for years I work evenings as a tour guide where my hours are typically 4pm-10pm, so my days are open and if needed your pets won’t go long without care. I’m a respectful houseguest and a patient caretaker. Mama always said “Leave it better than you found it”. Whatever your pet needs I can handle, from basic needs to whatever weird quirks they have

“So lovely, kind and caring for my cat- would definitely book again!”

“Mindy took care of our Fur babies which are 3 great kids at heart but wonderful to be with. She kept us informed and when asked , sent us pics to make us feel less guilty about leaving them home. We would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from high-energy dogs to more sensitive or anxious ones. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s emotional needs and body language, and I prioritize making them feel safe, calm, and understood in their environment. I have hands-on experience with crate training, building positive associations, and helping dogs develop confidence when left alone. I’m patient, consistent, and gentle in my approach, and I tailor care to each dog rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to create a calm, secure experience for them while you’re away. I occasionally bring my well-socialized dog with me for longer stays, but only with prior approval and proper introductions. I currently have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I structure my days around walks, play, and downtime, and I’m mindful of keeping routines consistent so pets feel secure. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care on both weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize being present rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. I provide a calm, structured, and attentive environment where your pet’s safety and comfort are the top priority. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual needs, and I adjust my approach to help each dog feel secure and understood. I’m experienced with crate use, positive reinforcement, and helping dogs settle in new environments. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and take care to avoid overwhelming situations, especially for more sensitive or anxious dogs. In your home or mine, I maintain a clean, predictable space and ensure pets are supervised, exercised appropriately, and never left in situations where they could feel unsafe or stressed.

“William is amazing. Helped us out with a last minute pinch. Super sweet. Highly recommend !!”

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.

“Abby is amazing! She was quick to communicate, great about a little meet and greet before watching my pups. The boys love her and she followed all my instructions perfectly.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was born, and I have been taking care of them ever since I can remember. I have pet sit for family friends and teachers for many years, accommodating special schedules, diets, and other needs! I am currently in school Wednesday through Saturday from 9-5:30, and will be graduating at the end of June. I am available anytime on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays, and in the evenings Wednesday through Saturday to care for your furry friend. I value the pets safety and the wishes of their family, and will accommodate to whatever method of making you and your pet feel safe.

“Alyce was phenomenal! 10/10! I went out of town for the weekend for a wedding and knew my Princey was in the best care. She gave me updates for each walk and house sit that included the sweetest pictures. My dog has a fear of loud noises, separation anxiety, and is older so can be a grumpy old man but he loved her welcoming, calm energy and she catered to his needs beatutifully. Would absolutely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!”

About: I am a veterinary technician employed at one of the top veterinary clinics in New Orleans, where I work hands-on with animals every day. My experience includes caring for bottle-fed neonates, geriatric pets, diabetic pets requiring insulin administration, post-surgical patients, and pets with special medical needs. In addition to my veterinary background, I am the owner of Pup-A-Dub Spa & Boarding, a cage-free grooming and boarding salon located in Arabi, Louisiana. I specialize in one-on-one, attentive care and understand how important it is to treat every pet as an individual. Whether your baby needs medical monitoring, extra patience, or just loves being spoiled, they will be in knowledgeable, capable hands with me. Working part time leaves me plenty of time to care for fur babies. I’m available for boarding throughout the week. Also available for early morning and afternoon walks. With a fenced in backyard your fur babies get a chance to play with my supervision. Upon your request cage kenneling is available if needed.

About: I have had multiple animals my whole life and taken care of all kinds of pets since I was 15 years old. I have helped neighbors and friends care for their pets while they were away or simply busy with life. I work a part-time job, and have flexible hours and plenty of time to care for any and all pets. I love going for morning or evening walks, but I am here to suit your pets needs. When sitting or walking a pet in a clients home I try to treat the session the way I would want it to go as a pet owner. I am respectful of their property and animal, while making sure their pet is taken care of the way I would take care of my own.

About: I previously dog sat over the weekend with my sister using Rover. I loved the experience and am eagerly awaiting to meet new pets! I have pet sat both dogs and cats for friends over the years. Feeding them, taking them on walks, and generally socializing with them while their owner is away for work or vacation. I have free roam rabbit and have taken care of various small animals since I was young. I am always patient and gentle with animals, and love giving pets and cuddles when accepted by the animal. I recently moved back to New Orleans and currently do not have a regular job. I have completely open availability to meet pets in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I allow pets time and space to get to know me. This includes sitting the room together, speaking softly, and holding out my hand for sniffing. I am attentive to the pets boundaries and needs to provide the best care possible.

About: I’m a professional dog trainer with over 15 years of experience working with dogs of all temperaments, including those with behavioral challenges and basic obedience needs. What truly sets me apart is the level of structure, understanding, and care I bring to every dog—this isn’t just pet sitting, it’s a safe, enriching environment tailored to each individual dog. My partner and I specialize in a wide range of care, including puppies, senior dogs, high-energy breeds, anxious dogs, and even medical boarding. We’re experienced in reading dog behavior and adjusting care accordingly, whether that means structured play, calm one-on-one time, or carefully matched socialization with other dogs. Our care style is patient, attentive, structured, and playful. We treat every dog like part of our routine, making sure they feel secure and engaged while they’re with us. We also keep owners connected by sharing regular updates and photos on Instagram, so you can see your pup happy and thriving during their stay. Our home is fully set up for safety and comfort, with a large fenced-in yard and multiple separate play areas. We also have appropriately sized, high-quality kennels to ensure every dog has a secure space when needed. Because of our setup and experience, we’re able to safely care for multiple dogs while still giving each one individualized attention. Clients often tell us we’re a “home away from home” for their pets. Dogs get excited to come back, and owners have peace of mind knowing their pets are not only safe, but genuinely happy. Our background in training allows us to group dogs by temperament or provide solo care when that’s the best fit. Since we operate from home, we also offer flexibility for last-minute bookings or changes in stay length—because we know life happens. Pet care is our life since we run our business from home. This allows us to provide consistent supervision, structured play, training, and individualized attention throughout the day. Our schedule is centered around the dogs in our care, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, enrichment, and a safe, comfortable environment at all times. Our home is fully set up for safe, structured care, including a large fenced yard, separate play areas, and secure, size-appropriate kennels. Because we operate from home, your pet is never left unattended for long periods, and we’re able to provide consistent care, routine, and attention.
