“Ellen was so attentive and loving to my girl while I was away. Spent time giving her love and attention as well as taking care of her feeding / walking needs. She was super attentive and gave lots of picture updates too. Would definitely book again.”


“Always puts my mind at ease when I have to travel out of town at the last minute and I know Daphane is watching George. Thorough, lots of pictures and good communication.”

About: Retired dog foster mom and dog sitter. Recently lost my beagle and miss pup time. I treat my friend’s dogs like my own and they actually encouraged me to start a profile. I like walking and don’t mind slow sniffers. I’m aware of squirrels and cats in my neighborhood and avoid them when necessary. I work full time but have availability evenings and weekends. Looking forward to long walks, tails wagging while sniffing and again meeting daily step goals. I have a small back yard and shotgun house which I own. I can crate if necessary but if your fur baby is trustworthy, I’m happy to let him or her free range guard my house during the day. The window facing the street is typically pretty entertaining. I have a doggie camera in the living room to send pictures if he/she is in the view.
“Charles was great with our dog. He was very flexible and adjusted to our change of plans. Rose was very comfortable with him very quickly. We lol forward to having him back.”

“Doc is simply the best. Nothing better than being able to truly enjoy your vacation because you know that your kitty and plants and getting nothing but the best love and care.”


“Sydney did an amazing job taking care of our cats while we were away. She kept us updated, and went above and beyond on taking care of our cats and making sure everything went smoothly. 100% recommend Sydney, she’ll treat your pets like they’re her own!”

“Hana is always on time, the dogs are always walked around the neighborhood and fed! She’s very reliable and I appreciate her taking the time to sit for us on a moments notice.”

About: Hi, I’m Mike! I’ve had dogs my whole life, and have spent the last few years in Portland OR working as a dog sitter and walker. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including hyperactive pups and senior dogs with mobility issues. I also have experience administering medicine. I am a 1000% dog LOVER so rest assured your furry friends will get all the love, attention, and play they deserve :) My schedule is flexible and I’m able to travel anywhere on the East Bank for walks and visits, potentially farther for a house stay! I don’t have any pets but my friends and neighbors regularly trust me to care for their best friends and I look forward to doing the same for you! <3 I’m seeking to continue taking care of pups full-time here in New Orleans so I’ve got nothing but time :) I don’t mind early mornings or late evenings! If a dog has a lot of energy, I love to match it and play all day! If they’re a little slower moving and like to smell the roses, I let them take their time :) I’m attentive, patient, and loving❤️❤️
“RILEY, Was a great with Mindy. Throughout the whole experience she stayed in contact. Riley showed her 5 star experience with photos of Mindy and I would definitely use her again.”

“Jamie was so thorough and caring throughout the time that she took care of my cats! Even prior to my trip when I first met her I felt good about leaving my pets in her hands. Highly recommend!”

“Cortney was a wonderful dog sitter- she was very responsive and calm even when my alarm randomly went off! I will definitely be using Cortney again to watch Maisy!”

“Samantha was such a kind and communicative sitter for our sweet boy! She took the time to come meet him first and always shared thorough updates and loved on our kitty and was attentive to his unique personality. We highly recommend choosing Samantha for your fur babes & will definitely book her again! Thanks Samantha!”

“I’m an anxious pet parent and Rea put me at ease with her responsiveness, care, and communication. Seeing that she spent time with my old cat and provided updates allowed me to be away from home without worry. Will book again!”
“Ashley was very professional and kept us updated every day. I appreciated the daily pictures, updates, and kind feedback, as well as her administering her insulin twice daily. I would definitely want Ashley to sit for us the next time we have to go out of town.”

About: I love dogs and have devoted myself to local animal rescue efforts. I call our home "The Cecchine Hotel for Dogs". Over the last 10 years, we have fostered 200+ dogs (and a few kittens). We currently have 4 senior dogs in residence. I have extensive experience with seniors and special needs dogs (ex-blind, deaf, tripod). I have delivered and raised 3 litters of rescue puppies. I really have experience with all shapes and sizes of dogs. I adore them all. I also care for a small flock of chickens and have "adopted" a pair of neighborhood cats who now spend most of their time enjoying my front porch. I am a self-employed writer with a very open and flexible schedule. I am a fit person who enjoys getting outside and walking every day. Snuggling a dog is literally my therapy. I have a decade of experience caring for dogs who are coming to me from very stressful situations (running stray, confinement in a shelter, or surviving the death of a loved one). I think of myself as a dog social worker. I try to understand what they need and how they can feel safe and confident. I provide a safe and consistent environment. I have house-trained and leash-trained more dogs than I can count. I only use positive reinforcement, and I am very patient.

Thank you Riley!! Riley did two drop in visits with my little buddy on Fat Tuesday so I could enjoy my sisters wedding and celebrate! I felt totally at peace knowing Riley was checking on Oliver! She played fetch with him so I know he enjoyed it as well! Will definitely ask Riley for help with Oliver in the future!

Deana D. was absolutely amazing!!!! Right from the start you could tell that she absolutely loves animals and has a broad depth of knowledge as to how to keep them healthy and happy! She knows what has to be done to make the sitting experience run smoothly, and is communicative and helpful in every aspect of the booking and sitting. We could not be more pleased and will absolutely recommended her and use her again!
