House Sitting in Desire, 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 🙌🏻”

“My husband and I have avoided traveling for a while now because our senior dog needs extra care and love. By some magic we were lucky enough to find Cheryl!! She is kind, professional, communicative, flexible, and made both us and our old dog feel so comfortable. Our dog needs to be carried down steps to go outside, has to wear diapers, and can barely see/hear yet Cheryl was not phased one bit by all of that. We were away for almost a week and Cheryl took excellent care of our dog, sent us pictures and updates, and was a joy to be in touch with and have in our home. We came home from celebrating our anniversary and the house was sparkling - far cleaner than when we left!! Cheryl will without a doubt be our go-to pet sitter.”

“Nikoleta was GREAT! We always wonder/worry how our pets are doing and Nikoleta sent us many updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease! She was very respectful of our place and I think it might have been cleaner after she left than it was when she arrived! We’ll definitely book with Nikoleta again!”

“Sarah was fantastic- she was flexible and able to hop in with my pup at the last minute, was super responsive, and did a wonderful and respectful job taking care of my 16 year old dog with special needs. Strongly recommended”

“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.”

“Chloe was awesome and took great care of our dog Roxy! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures! We will definitely use Chloe again!”

“Justin is great! I just started booking him this month and have already used his services twice. Banksy is a sweet girl but has some issues with other dogs but Justin hasn’t any problems with her so far. He’s responsive, respectful, and I’ve always come home to a clean house and a happy dog. I’m so glad I found him and will definitely be booking with again soon!”

“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.”

“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.”

About: I have taken care of dog cats and animals ever since I can remember. As a child, a teenager and college student, I had a monopoly on taking care of my Neighbor’s pets. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior dogs, multiple animals and even birds. I prioritize Service and Care and don’t like to keep you guessing. I value communication while you are away from your pets. I currently do freelance contract work, sometimes from home, and sometimes from other locations around New Orleans. I have a flexible schedule with periods of time to easily step away and spend time with your dog or cat! I have three cats and a sizeable fenced in yard. Your pet’s health, safety and comfort is the highest priority to me. I can’t wait to meet them!

“Alaina was very communicative throughout her stay with Charlie. He was well cared for and loved while we were away. The house was clean upon return and the linens had been washed and dried. We will definitely contact Alaina again. It was a great experience!!!!”

“Caitlin was absolutely wonderful. She had the pleasure of taking care of my four babies (2 dogs and 2 cats) for a week in our home while we were on vacation. I felt so bad for her the first couple of days because they wouldn’t eat, and uncooperative. But she was patient with them and kept me informed. Before I knew it they all became the best of friends. Plenty of pictures to prove it. I would definitely use Caitlin again. Thanks Caitlin for keeping our minds at ease while we were 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.”

“Sonjia did a wonderful job dogsitting at our home while we were out of town. She provided daily updates with pictures and left our house spotless. The pups seemed to love her!”
