“Caitlin did an amazing job caring for our dog while we were away. She was great with helping our dog feel comfortable and really followed his lead. Caitlin was quick to respond and very communicative about her visits. We had a great experience.”


“Bria was the best! She was very communicative and made sure to keep us in the loop about the care of our cat. She was punctual, easy to reach, and took the most care of our anxious cat, Mira. We will definitely be using Bria for Mira’s care again in the future. Thanks again!”


About: Vet assistant/tech 3 yrs Current ER veterinary clinic position Cat Cafe/Animal shelter volunteer Animal science student Experience with exotics, cats, dogs, avian, equine, swine Loving, eager, patient, attentive, determined, nurturing. I AM VERY FLEXIBLE! Please contact me and we can always figure something out :) … Caring for pets is something I do every day—whether they’re mine, a loved one’s, or part of my job. It’s not just a task on my to-do list; it’s a part of who I am. Because of that, it naturally fits into my schedule and remains very flexible. Every animal is special in its own way, and the moment I am given the privilege to care for a pet, I treat it as if it were my own. Pets are part of the family and should be treated with the same love and respect! With a nurturing spirit and a genuine passion for animals, I see caring for a pet as both a privilege and a source of joy.

“As expected, Cassie was amazing. Even when Dante changed his mind and decided he did NOT want a visit & he'd rather be scary & overprotective, Cassie didn't bail on him, but rather talked him down and helped him calm down. She quite literally saved our weekend, and let us know every detail so that we can work on it going forward. We'll definitely be reaching out to her again!”


“Did a great job with my dog and was willing to go above and beyond!”


“Cassi was a great sitter for both. My animals will definitely book her again.”


“This was my first experience with Rover and Violeta set the bar very high. My cat has a lot of needs and Violeta did a great job meeting those needs and keeping me informed while I was away.”


“This was my first time using a pet care service and I was a little nervous, but Max was very communicative leading up to the visit. He showed up dependably and followed all of my specific instructions. I would definitely use Max again for pet care when I'm unable to provide it myself.”


“Andre was amazing with our 3 pups for the week with 2 drop ins per day. He was thorough in his updates and it was clear the pups loved him almost immediately. Will definitely use him again for any needs with our trio and would recommend him for anyone looking for help with their pets!”


About: With a lifelong passion for dogs and three years of hands-on training in animal science at TCHS, I provide expert care in walking, feeding, grooming, and administering medications. Currently, I apply these skills daily at a local kennel, ensuring every pet receives personalized attention and the highest standard of care. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine as I currently work part-time at Vixen Hall Kennels. My schedule changes weekly, but I’m flexible with hours and can easily accommodate different times. I’m also willing to get up early or stay up late if needed to ensure your pets receive the best care at any time of day. I treat every pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment. I follow any specific instructions provided by the owner to maintain their pets' routine, whether it’s feeding, playtime, or medication. I’m committed to providing personalized care and always prioritize the well-being of each animal, ensuring a stress-free experience while you're away.

About: I’ve owned 5 dogs, 2 labs, a shetland sheepdog, a boxer German Shepard mix, and a beagle. I am experienced with senior pets as well as puppies. I take care of my aunts and uncles pets when they go away. I am very comfortable with walking multiple dogs at the same time and can handle tiring out active breeds. Currently I’m preparing to go back to school and working out for sports. So I have plenty time to check up on your pets and make sure that they taken care of! Typically depending on what my clients I will either let the dog play in the back yard or I will take them on a walk. That is also dependent on the breed. With more energetic breeds I will take them on a long walk or run and with others I can let them run in the back yard and play with them.

“We brought our dog Mutig over to see how he got along with Yvonne, her family home, and with their dog Quincy before we go on a big trip. They were warm, inviting, and asked great questions. Quincy and Mutig hit it off racing around the yard and it put us at ease knowing we will have a good place to leave him where he will have care and a great playmate!”

An important part of pet sitting is to respect the pet owners space since it is a great deal of trust to give another person especially with your animal. I also know as a pet owner myself.

About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for over four years, providing dependable in-home care, walks, feeding, and lots of one-on-one attention. In addition to that, I’ve spent the last three years volunteering at a local animal shelter in New Orleans, where I walked dogs daily and helped with kennel cleaning. Through both experiences, I’ve worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—including nervous rescues and high-energy pups. I’m calm, observant, and committed to making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for in my hands. As a recent college graduate currently focused on job applications, my schedule is extremely open and flexible. I’m available most days for walks, drop-ins, and extended stays, and I’m happy to work around your dog’s specific routine and needs. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s routine closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, medications, or playtime—to make sure they stay happy and relaxed while you’re away. I take time to build trust, keep their environment low-stress, and always treat your home with the same respect I’d expect in return.

About: Hi there! I’m Allie, and I’m a passionate dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. Whether it’s providing fun and safe daycare, cozy boarding, or energetic walks, I’m dedicated to ensuring every pet feels loved and cared for like they’re my own. I’ve worked with everything from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra TLC, and I’m comfortable with a wide range of temperaments and needs. Whether your puppy needs a buddy for long walks, a safe and loving home while you’re away, or just a little extra attention during the day, I’m here to help! At my home, your dog will enjoy a safe and pet friendly environment. I have a cozy indoor area, a fenced in yard, nearby trails for walking, and nearby dog parks for playing. I’ll also provide regular updates with photos so you can feel confident your furry friend is in great hands. I’m currently going to school only two days a week for a few hours, so I have plenty of time to give your fur babies love and attention. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly fur baby to keep yours company. I have a doggy door to the backyard so they can come and go as they please. Your dog will enjoy a clean, well maintained space with cozy beds, plenty of toys, fresh water, and regular potty breaks. I also follow any special feeding or medication instructions.

“Sierra was so fantastic with my 2 Great Danes! When I got home I could tell they were well taken care of. They were not stressed at all and were so content. That means the world to me! So thankful to have her visit and will definitely use her again’.”
