“Chico”was very attentive to our baby girl & kept us updated throughout the whole 2 weeks we have been gone! Missy looked very relaxed, comfortable and not stressed out at all which is very unusual for her! Missy is 17 yrs old & spunkier now that we met Chico than she was before. Thanks for everything!

About: I’m a friendly, dependable pet owner who understands just how much pets mean to their people. I am the primary caretaker of my own dog, Freddy, he’s 3 years old with lots of energy, friendly with other dogs and loves people. I regularly care for my sisters dog and 2 cats while she is out of town, maintaining their normal routines and care. I live in a condo in Mandeville which means I have become extremely familiar with the dog parks, walking trails, dog friendly nature areas and state parks. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting, I treat every animal as if they are my own while providing photo and text updates so you can feel confident while you’re away!😊 Currently I am the office manager for a primary care clinic in Covington, M-F I am available before work, on my lunch break, and after work for drop ins or dog walking. My weekends are always changing and very flexible. I like caring for pets in their own home because that is where they feel most comfortable, following their normal routine and offering attention and companionship. On walks, I focus on your pets safety, energy level, and making sure they are well hydrated.

About: I’ve been a vegetarian almost half my life, loving animals since I was born! Elderly, small, or big I’ve taken care of many animals my whole life. In fact I almost went to school to be a vet tech… I’ve had bunny’s, birds, dogs, cats &kittens, hamsters, snails, frogs, lizards, and more. My soul mate dog passed at 19. She chose me when I was 5. I’ve never grieved more than loosing her.. with that I can say I’m very experienced in elderly dog care. I’m currently a stay at home mom, I am very available! My 19 month old baby naps at 10, and is up around 12:30 but we’re easy and times can always be rearranged depending on what your family needs! (Yes we see animals as our family members in our home) I have a fenced yard, and a pool. I have two cats, one is in/ outdoor.. and one that stays inside they’re both very mellow and depending on what you need maybe a sweet friend can sleep over or have a play date! I have a 11 year old daughter and a 19 month old daughter, they adore animals as much as me!!

I offer a safe and nurturing in home pet sitting experience, whether in your home or mine.

Oscar took to Elizabeth immediately and appeared to be very comfortable with her. We received regular communication and photos while we were away. We are not from the area, just visiting family. Otherwise, we would hire Elizabeth again .

Caroline house-sat with my two dogs. She was so amazing with them. It was such a comforting feeling to know they were so well taken care of. She also sent us pictures of them while we were on vacation- they were such a treat to get. I would definitely recommend her to anyone and will use her in the future ❤️

5+ stars. Alyssa recently stayed with our very nervous and energetic pitbull mix while we were on a long vacation. She stayed in our home. She was extremely considerate of our things and assisted with getting the mail, etc while taking excellent care of our girl. Her communication was great and she sent frequent pictures and updates. I felt very comfortable and reassured that my dog was being loved and cared for well. I look forward to using her again; could not recommend enough!

About: I’ve had 2-3 dogs in the house for the entirety of my life. I have dog/house sat for many people in my neighborhood and have always been a reliable helping hand. I’ve taken care of dogs that have strict diet and medication regimines, as well. I have experience with both big and little dogs. I’m a lover of all animals! I’m finishing up my last year of grad school and have recently moved back home to Mandeville! I currently work at St. Tammany Parish Hospital 4 days a week and have plenty of time in the evenings and weekends! I can make sure to conform to any house rules you may have in place for me and for your pups. I can easily crate your pet, if needed. I am very attentive and full of energy to play with or take your pups for walks.

Jamie was great! She stayed with with my dog at my home while I was away for a long weekend. She was well taken care of with many walks, cuddles and was able to give a pill each night. Came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Will be booking again!
