Ebony did such a great job with our dogs! She was super easy to communicate with, sent pictures of the pups multiple times a day, and followed all the instructions we left. Ebony also took great care of my less people friendly dog and ended up earning her trust by the end of her stay. We will definitely be booking Ebony again and we highly recommend that you book her as well!

About: I love dogs and love caring for them. I am fun and energetic. I could spend hours playing with dogs. If yuh need someone that is reliable and that you can depend on them to take care of your beloved just as you would, I’m your girl! I can handle any breed at any size. I treat animals with love and respect. I have had some experience of taking care of people animals while they were gone for vacation or just out of town. I have three animals of my own and know how to keep them in control. If there are things you would like to me teach your dog I can do my best to help you train your dog. Please contact me soon. I currently work full time so I am available after 3 pm on the weekdays. I can check on your beloved pet during my lunch break. I have full availability on the weekends. I have a nice fenced backyard and live close to City Park. I enjoy taking walks so your pet will definitely get the exercise they need. If the pet is staying in their home I can ensure that will feel safe and comfortable. I can handle pets with separation anxiety. My calm spirit makes every pet I’ve watched feel safe with me.

Bianca was amazing! She stayed with my pup, Jane, for 8 nights while we were on vacation. I was able to relax and enjoy the trip knowing Janie was in good hands. Bianca sent a couple updates per day including pictures of their time together. I came home to a clean house and a happy pup. I will definitely be hiring Bianca again in the future.

Caitlin did great! I left her quite the challenge, a 5 and a half month old terrier mix pup rescue that loves to nibble:). She managed to take good care of my fur baby (updates every day with pictures to boot!) AND looked after my house while I was away in Alaska for over 2 weeks! She has a big heart and is extremely trustworthy. If you need someone to go above and beyond with your pet look no further!

Cheryl was absolutely amazing with Pearl and her cat brother Louis! She sent me pictures and updates, went above and beyond and took care of a lot of details that I hadn’t even considered. I felt completely comfortable having her in my house. She left it in great shape to and it was clear that the critters loved her. She even took Phroto to the dog park and let her play with her own for babies. She’s wonderful I can’t wait to use her again.

About: I've spent my whole life around animals— dogs, cats, snakes, spiders, bunnies, and hamsters. Whether it's a big ol puppy or a senior cat, I’ve cared for them with love and attention. Being with animals comes naturally from a lifetime of training, and I treat every pet like my own. Be prepared for a new nickname for your pet. I work at a business in the French quarter and my schedule is flexible. I can take a long lunch in order to check on pets. I follow all instructions and act as if I'm being watched by the owner in the moment. I was a residential housecleaner for over a decade and appreciated supervision.

About: As a friend, I’m the type who will ask if I can come over just to visit your pet. I love being able to connect with and give love to all animals and can’t wait to meet yours. I’ve lovingly cared for a variety of pets with various ages and temperaments and have a lot of flexibility in my day to day schedule! I have significant experience in caregiving for pets with anxiety (always happy to drop in and sit with your baby during a storm), and have experience providing care to senior cats and dogs, be that medication management, or simply providing a soothing and gentle presence. I work in a remote position that provides a great amount of flexibility. So I have the freedom and availability to care for your pets during all hours including during the daytime. I currently have no pets in my home, so your baby will have my full attention! I also have a ladder that leads to a loft space that’s perfect if your fur baby likes to climb!

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.

About: If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets like they’re my own, you’ve come to the right place! I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from playful puppies to energetic large breeds and lovable little companions. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I even volunteered with an SPCA camp for several days and still enjoy spending some of my free time around animals whenever I can. Being able to care for pets brings me so much joy, and knowing they’re happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away means everything to me. I’m also a proud dog mom to a male Yorkie and a female Toy Poodle, so I understand the patience, attention, and daily care that pets need to thrive. Along with caring for my own dogs, I’ve also pet sat for friends and family on multiple occasions, giving me experience with a variety of temperaments and routines. When your pet is with me, they’ll receive lots of love, attention, playtime, belly rubs, and personalized care. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and needs to make sure they feel happy and secure. pet care can always fit into my daily routine! I work 4am-12pm but i’m always available after those times i’m a very flexible person and always free Sunday’s and Mondays! I always treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. In my client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. That includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I also keep the home clean, send regular photo updates, and make sure pets are safe! I’ll stay close to my phone incase of emergencies and i’ll make sure your pet is loved and cared for!

About: Hi, I'm Jennifer! I’m a dedicated pet sitter who ensures your furry companions receive the best care possible while you're away. I specialize in keeping pets comfortable in their natural environment, offering doggy daycare and overnight sitting tailored to their routines. For overnight stays, I kindly ask for at least two weeks' advance notice to ensure I can provide the best experience for you and your pets. Doggy daycare services take place at your home, where pets can relax in familiar surroundings while receiving personalized attention, playtime, and care. I also offer daycare options for pet parents who work from home and need help keeping their pets entertained and engaged. Whether your furry friend requires extra stimulation, structured playtime, or just a peaceful presence to keep them settled while you focus, I’m happy to step in! Whether you’re traveling for work, taking a well-deserved vacation, or balancing remote work, I’ll keep your pets happy, engaged, and well-cared-for until you return. Let me know how I can make your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away—I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! I wanted to share a little about how I structure my schedule to provide dependable pet care. As a freelance IT professional, I have the flexibility to adjust my workload and availability as needed. This allows me to balance my commitments, including being present for my mother’s medical appointments, while still ensuring I provide the best care for your pets. Because I can set my own hours, I’m able to prioritize my pet-sitting commitments and work around necessary appointments without compromising reliability. I always make sure my availability is clearly planned in advance so that I can provide consistent, dedicated service to every client. If you ever have scheduling requests, I’m happy to discuss options that work for both of us. I appreciate your understanding and look forward to providing great care for your furry friends! I care for pets in their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. For overnight stays, I ensure pets maintain their usual routine, including feeding, medication, exercise, and companionship. I kindly ask for at least two weeks' notice to provide the best experience for both pets and owners. For doggy daycare, I offer attentive care at the client’s home, keeping pets engaged while their owners are at work or working remotely. Whether a pet needs enrichment activities, structured playtime, or just a calming presence, I adjust my approach to fit their needs. I provide regular updates to give pet parents peace of mind, ensuring their furry companions receive attentive, loving care while they’re away.

Jamie took great care of my fur babies. She sent me updates everyday and made me feel assured they were safe and getting love. I was really nervous having to book with someone last minute as my previous plans fell through but all these nerves went away during our meet and greet. Jamie asked great questions and my animals seemed perfectly happy when I returned home. I will definitely be booking with her again!
