About: Hi! I’m a reliable, punctual, and caring dog walker who treats every pup like family. I understand that your dog isn’t “just a pet” — they’re your heart. Whether your dog loves long sniff-filled strolls or structured, energetic walks, I tailor each visit to their needs. Safety is my top priority, and I always pay close attention to behavior, surroundings, and comfort levels. You’ll receive updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. Let’s get those tails wagging! I'm retired and have plenty of time for your fur baby! I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer energy-burning walk, I show up on time and ready to go. Your home will always be respected as if it were my own — clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I’m mindful of doors, gates, alarms, and routines, and I double-check everything before leaving to ensure your home and pet are safe. Your dog will be treated with patience, kindness, and attentiveness. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and comfort so they feel secure and understood. Whether your pup needs calm reassurance, structured guidance, or playful engagement, I adjust to what makes them happiest.
“Caitlin did an amazing job checking on my kitty girls! She was super communicative throughout, offered to do a meet and greet with the cats beforehand, asked about feeding routine/favorite toys beforehand, and sent tons of pics from her visits. I will definitely use Caitlin again, thank you!”
“Recently booked Carlie for drop-in visits for our cat during our 5-day vacation. I was worried about leaving her with a rather long to-do list, but she handled it with ease. I also enjoyed the goofy pics she took of my girl and the report card she provided after every visit. She far exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again, Carlie! 😸”
“Victoria took great care of my cats while I was away! She was communicative, prompt, and sents lots of pictures. She even troubleshot an error message my automatic litter box was giving and got it back working. Thank you, Victoria!”
“Kailey did a great job taking care of my cat and making sure her space was tidy while I was away. She sat with her and read to keep her company. I would recommend her services”
About: I have some prior pet care experience-such as cleaning messes, feeding, bathing, and handling excrements. Smelly, loud, and nosey felines and canines don’t phase me. I have a soft spot for senior fur babies. I work full time during the week. Weekday availability would vary from week to week. However, I am free to do check-ins and walks on weekend mornings and afternoons. Creating a safe space and building trust among pet and pet owner is my top priority. I am always one to ask questions when needed. I would always handle animals the way their pet parents ask of me- as you know your pet best. Creating a list or writing notes on what is expected is greatly appreciated.
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since childhood, so I understand the special companionship, comfort, and unconditional love they bring to our lives. Dogs truly become part of the family, and I believe they deserve to feel safe, loved, and cared for when their people are away. I recently said goodbye to my beloved 12-year-old dog, which deepened my appreciation for the bond we share with our pets. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and I bring that same patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals to every dog I care for. I have a flexible schedule to meet the needs of each fur baby. I typically work weekdays but I can accommodate weekends and travel schedules. I follow the rules and guidelines of the home I am entering. I can also provide updates as requested to the owner regarding the pet's behavior and needs.
About: I will talk and sing with animals. Animals are the best judge of character so I make sure I’m always paying attention to their needs and energy. I know when to play and I know when to be calm for them. I have a day job in mid city, but I do have hour lunch breaks. It’s very centrally located. I also am a night owl so I am available most nights. I live in the bywater area so I don’t mind traveling to where I need to go. If it is a client’s home. I stick to the rules and requests that are made for me. I enjoy walking animals or playing in one’s backyard with them.
“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.”
“Faith was great with our Gina. She even made sure to ask questions about care for Gina, to make sure that she would have everything she needed. It was a last-minute booking, and faith made us feel comfortable, leaving our fur baby in her care.”
About: I was always the one to take care of our families dogs while growing up, so I have a lot of experience! Smaller dogs, bigger dogs, senior dogs…does not matter to me! I am currently ending an Americorps term so I have all the time in the world to play with your pups! I also always appreciate a daily dose of serotonin :) I always make sure there are clear instructions or specifics provided by the client when watching their pups if necessary! A safe and trustful environment is crucial in this type of work, which is my number one priority. An attentive attitude is also crucial, especially when being in a clients home.
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and some of the greatest loves of my life have had four paws. I had my sweet cat, Henry, for four wonderful years before he passed away, and for the last three years I helped raise and care for an adorable Goldendoodle who now lives with her other pet parent. I don’t currently have a fur baby of my own, so I genuinely love getting the chance to care for other people’s pets. I’ve also spent years pet sitting for friends and family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave someone you love in another person’s care. I’m affectionate, attentive, dependable, and probably the person who will be talking to your pet like we’re old friends within five minutes. Whether they love long walks, playtime, belly rubs, couch cuddles, or just having a calm human nearby, I’m happy to give them all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. 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.
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.

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.

Special Care! Every dog is unique, and I understand that some babies require extra attention, patience, medication assistance, or special routines.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
