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.

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.

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❤️❤️

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.
