“Celeste has been incredibly patient with spooky who's transitioning from outdoors to indoors living. He's making progress and I really appreciate all the help towards making him into a pet instead of pest control. Extra kudos for behavior modification!”

About: Hi! I’m a professional dog trainer with a lifelong passion for animals. Before working with dogs, I spent 5 years as a marine mammal trainer, where I specialized in positive reinforcement training, animal behavior, and building strong relationships through trust and communication. Today, I work full-time as a professional dog trainer, helping dogs of all ages and personalities—including reactive dogs—build confidence and learn the skills they need to thrive. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I’m committed to providing safe, compassionate, and individualized care. At home, I have two wonderful dogs and two cats, so I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. When I’m not training dogs professionally, I’d love the opportunity to provide exceptional care for your pets. As someone who has dedicated my career to animal training and behavior, you can trust that your furry family members will be treated with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I give my own. I care for every pet as if they were my own. At home, I have two dogs and two cats, so I understand how important routine, patience, and individualized care are. With years of professional animal training experience, I’m very comfortable following strict feeding, medication, potty, and exercise schedules to ensure your pets stay happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I love high energy animals and taking care of them. I grew up with a dog and cat I still have and care for and more recently I have been a volunteer at the Humane Society, I even ended up starting my own club of volunteers in high school. This role has equipped me with all sorts of animal care skills such as cleaning after them, bathing them, feeding them and administering medication, and making sure to provide lots of love and attention. I’ve always said that I’m not a dog or cat person when asked, but rather an animal person. I love animals and caring after them. I am a college student at Tulane University and I am currently home for the summer! I am available until June 22nd and have open availability all day every day until then. I have a fenced yard and two pets of my own that are both friendly so I am no stranger to spending time outdoors with animals or having playdates. I am more than happy to take pets to any appointments they may have and am able to administer medication if needed.
About: I have over 5 years of experience working at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—including puppies, senior dogs, and anxious pets.

About: I have volunteered for Zeus's Rescues walking dogs for three years. I previously owned two shetland sheepdogs for several years!

I look forward to communicating with you and your pet about your schedule and your needs. I can comfortably handle any breed or any size pet! I am offering dog walking, drop in visits for your pet, and house sitting. I am comfortable with and proficient at: measuring and feeding the proper amount of food, making sure your pets stay hydrated, administering the right amount of medication, taking care of your home while you're away, (I'm a homeowner myself,) playing with your pet, tiring out your pet, reducing your pet's stress, giving love and affection to your pet, and taking your pet to the vet in the event of an emergency.
About: Hi, I'm Olivia! I’m that neighbor you see petting every dog that will allow it. I moved to New Orleans three years ago and have loved getting to know the city. And while I don’t have a pet of my own right now, I’m always looking for an excuse to hang out with someone else’s. I’m always up for a good, long walk, but just as happy to couch potato-it and hang at home. I know that caring for an animal means more than just keeping them fed and walked. It’s making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their favorite person is away. Whether your pet needs a playmate or just a buddy to pass the time, I’m more than happy to meet them where they are. I promise to always treat your pet like my own and that I'll do my best to make them feel right at home. Looking forward to meeting you both!

I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine, whether that means morning and afternoon walks, playtime, or keeping them company throughout the day. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel good knowing your furry friend is in good hands while you’re away. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m happy to get outside for leashed walks and potty breaks, always keeping your dog’s safety in mind. In your home, I’ll do my best to stick to your pet’s usual routine and follow any instructions you share around feeding, walks, medications, or crating. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, and, again, I'm always happy to communicate and send updates while you’re away!

About: Hi my name is Josh! I recently moved back to New Orleans from Scottsdale Arizona. Its definitely a different kind of heat here, but I prefer it! Something you may find that separates me from others is the energy I bring to the table. It will have your dogs wanting more time with me!

I love being outdoors whether its playing soccer or working in my garden, and both are even better with more animals around!

Currently have a lot of availability and flexibility to make your pets my priority! I love getting outdoors and taking dogs on walks and playing with cats providing them the enrichment they need! I’ve got two cats and a wonderful dog that could possibly keep your animals company but also have the kennels and rooms available to separate them! The animals are my top priority!
“Once again Renee did a great job with our German Shepherd. She really makes sure he’s taken care of, not just fed and watered. She responds quickly and communicates with every visit. Feel completely comfortable leaving the dog at home.”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Elmwood
I highly recommend Elizabeth as a pet sitter. She was so sweet to my cat Kiki and cared for her as if she were her own. She played with her just as I asked her to and did everything else I asked her to. She is so nice and I trust her. She is my first choice for any pet sitting needs in the future. With her my mind is at peace and i know Kiki will be just fine. Thanks again Elizabeth. I hope you'll be able to pet sit Kiki again.
We had such an amazing experience with Olivia while we were away on our honeymoon! She was incredible with administering our cat’s daily eye medication and spent so much time playing with and loving on our fur baby while we were gone. The daily report cards and photos gave us so much peace of mind and truly reassured us that our cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for back at home. We are so grateful for the attention, communication, and care she provided and would absolutely book with her again!
