Dog Walking In French Quarter

About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.

“The best & most professional dog walked I’ve ever met. I feel better when my dog is with Daphne than with me. She’s the best. & knows her way around the neighborhood”

“Victoria did a great job of walking Aki and keeping her from feeling restless during the day. It was a huge help to us and we would definitely book with her again. Aki took right to her from their very first meeting!”

About: Hi there!! My name is Asia. I have been dog sitting professionally for 6 years now. But personally i haven’t had a time in my life without at least one fur baby. Just like people, every dog is different. I always take time to get to know the dog and care for their specific needs, likes, and dislikes. I know trusting someone with your dog is a big deal. They are family! It’s important that you feel safe and comfortable with who you choose. I do not take that lightly. That being said, I would love to be the person you count on. Hope to talk soon! Right now I am working part time and mostly remote. So that gives me lots of time within my schedule to help watch your dogs/cats. I always meet with my clients before hand to discuss what their dogs daily schedule usually looks like. As well as how their specific dog likes being cared for. I’ve always found it very important to not change things too much from what they’re used to.

“Can't thank Michelle enough for helping out with our golden retriever. Michelle started coming over 2 weeks ago three days a week to walk our girl Phoebe and she has been incredible. Very flexible to our dogs needs, sends detailed updates on how the visit/walk went, and is very responsive to communication. Highly recommend her to anyone and hope to continue her services for a long time. Thanks Michelle!”

About: Hi, I’m Hanna! I love exploring the city with the help of your animals! My favorite thing to do in my free time is read a book on my porch. I have a big black cat named Jeff who is super friendly and loves people and attention. I’m used to living in a neighborhood filled with friends who need assistance with walking and feeding their pets so I would love to help you out. My schedule is super open and flexible so feel free to message me with any questions. I’m open to last minute bookings and hopefully meet some reoccurring faces! I can also care for other pets outside of cats and dogs. Excited to meet you!! I can work dog walking and pet care into my schedule as needed! Would love to work caring for your pet(s) into my daily or weekly schedule I can provide care in your home for both dogs and cats or provide only short term care in my home for small (or larger elderly) dogs when available

“I can’t recommend Cody enough. She is a pet charmer. My 2 dogs and cat warmed to her quickly, she is an excellent communicator, and has a gentle presence. My one dog was nervous and hid before the first walk. Cody spent 30 min gently coaxing her out. After the first walk, all 3 of my animals were comfortable and happy. She sat with them after every walk for extra minutes and shared great pics with me. I will always check her availability first in the future”

“Elizabeth did a great job caring for Zelda She was also able to modify the days needed. Elizabeth spent time walking Zelda, giving here a snack and fresh water”

“We love and trust her as does our golden. She is reliable and punctual. We ask for her help at least once a week- twice a day, and she feeds our pup, takes her on a walk, plays with her, and loves on her. Lindsay is the equivalent of having either my spouse or myself home- what more could you ask for….”

About: I’ve spent years helping friends and family by watching their pets when they travel. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they stay happy and comfortable in their routine while their owners are away. From walks and playtime to cuddles and companionship, I truly enjoy caring for animals I currently work from home so I have flexibility on caring for your fur babies! Whether it’s taking them for a walk or babysitting them at my house, I will make sure your animal is well taken care of! I have a fenced backyard and a dog & cat at home to play with your fur baby! I am also available to go to your house and take care of your animals there.

“Erica was great! They were punctual, friendly, and Penny just loved them and was tired out after the walk. Highly recommend!”

About: I have hands on experience with dog walking, house sitting, and cat sitting, and I’ve also had dogs of my own, giving me a strong understanding of daily care, routines, and pet behavior. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail oriented, making sure your pet stays on their routine and feels comfortable at home. I provide updates, follow instructions closely, and prioritize your pet’s safety and well being at all times. I’m currently a nursing student working part time, but I have a flexible schedule and make time for pet care. With summer break coming up, I’ll have significantly more availability and flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and house sitting. I can accommodate more daytime care during the summer. I’m reliable with scheduling and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I have experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of proper introductions, routines, and supervision. I will always follow your pet’s routine closely. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, attentive, and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.

About: *Pros with booking my service*: ~I am a full time pet sitter! ~Experience! (Ive been doing this for 6 years) ~Professionalism (I was a lawyer before leaving law to focus on part-time travel and full time pet sitting 😉) ~Trust (The majority of my clients are repeat clients) Hospitality and care go hand in hand with my pet-sitting service. For a house sit, expect your home to nicer than when you left it. Your fur babies will be relaxed and happy to see you when you return having been lovingly cared for in your absence. I will strive to uphold whichever boundaries you h have set up for your pup and work to reinforce training. Have your pup stay with a familiar face while you're away! In addition to personal experience with animals over the years, I have professional experience volunteering at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah. One of the largest animal rehabilitation clinics in the world. I hope I can be someone you wholeheartedly trust with the care of your beloved furry one. I currently work full time as a pet sitter in addition to small freelance work so my schedule is flexible. On weekdays I will be gone for short periods of time but can be back every couple hours. I always make sure to get my pups set up when I leave the house. I'm a very hands on pet sitter. I understand the needs of animals and their lil personalities intuitively and I like to check in to make sure they are safe and happy.

“Available last minute. So good with our dogs.”

“Deana did a wonderful job walking our pets! She had three To walk at one time, one of whom is very old and she took great care of them. She checked in with me to see if they needed food or anything else. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have many years of experience working in the animal industry, not only from managing dog daycare and boarding facilities, but also managing a therapeutic management company for animal healthcare specializing in PCR molecular diagnostics for all animals. (A-Z; Anteaters to Zebras!) My background combines hands-on pet care experience with animal health knowledge, allowing me to provide attentive, safety-focused care for pets of all ages. My home environment is designed to be comfortable, structured, and enriching. Dogs are welcome throughout the home and can lounge on the couch, relax on one of the many dog beds, nap in the bedroom, enjoy enrichment toys and tunnels, splash in the kiddie pool, brush-outs, and receive plenty of photo updates during their stay. My yard is fully fenced for safe outdoor time, and routines are tailored to each dog’s personality and comfort level. Dogs may also sleep in bed with me if that matches their normal routine, or in a kennel if that is their preferred setup. I have two dogs of my own, so all boarding/daycare guests must be social and comfortable around other dogs of different breeds, sizes, genders, and ages. Grouping is always done thoughtfully based on temperament, play style, energy level, and size. My home is best suited for low to medium energy dogs, and I especially love caring for senior pets and more relaxed personalities. I do take high energy dogs on case-by-case basis. Safety is my top priority, and because this is also my personal home, I do maintain a few requirements prior to booking: • Dogs must be potty trained. Occasional accidents happen and are completely understandable, especially during transitions or with puppies learning routines. However, dogs with ongoing indoor marking or frequent accidents may not be a good fit for future stays. • Puppies and dogs actively working on potty training are welcome, but owners must be transparent regarding current progress and needs. • I require disclosure of ANY bite history, prior daycare dismissal, behavioral concerns, reactivity, resource guarding, etc. • Nervous behaviors such as stress signals, occasional air snaps, growling, baring teeth, or boundary setting when uncomfortable can happen and do not automatically disqualify a dog. However, true aggression or unsafe behavior toward people or animals is not accepted. I maintain a zero-tolerance policy for aggression. • Owners must disclose ANY destructive behaviors, including chewing furniture, scratching doors, escaping crates, counter surfing, eating non-food items, digging, etc Transparency helps me create the safest environment possible! • Any damages caused during a stay may result in repair/replacement charges, with a minimum charge of $100 if damage occurs. Please note that Rover does not cover damages done inside a sitter’s personal home. • Please let me know if your dog is kennel trained, whether they require crating when left alone, and if they do well in a kennel or tend to become destructive only while confined. Dogs may rest freely in the home depending on behavior and routine compatibility. My care style focuses heavily on structure, manners, redirection, enrichment, safety, and positive guidance while still allowing dogs to relax, have fun, and feel at home. Please also note that Rover takes approximately 20% from sitters and adds an additional 11% to clients. If this is your first Rover booking, feel free to use my referral link for $20 off Even if you don’t book with me, I still hope you’re able to save a little! Thank you for taking the time to read through everything and for considering me with your pet’s care. I truly believe transparency and communication create the best experience for everyone involved- especially your pet! The more information I have regarding your dog’s routine, behaviors, likes/dislikes, quirks, anxieties, and needs, the better I can tailor their stay and provide the safest and most comfortable environment possible. Please never hesitate to ask questions or provide extra details! I genuinely would rather know “too much” than not enough. My goal is always to set every dog up for success. Throughout my career, I have worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, temperaments, and medical backgrounds, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, anxious dogs, reactive dogs, behavior cases, and dogs requiring medication or additional management. While I do not allow aggression within my home environment, I do have professional experience working with behavioral challenges and understand that every dog is an individual. I am also PACCC Certified (Professional Animal Care Certification Council Certified Professional Animal Care Provider), and Pet CPR & First Aid Certified, with hands-on experience. As someone who has managed daycare and boarding environments, worked within animal healthcare, and cared for many different personalities over the years, I understand that trust is everything when leaving your pet with someone. I take that responsibility very seriously and treat every pet as if they were my own. Thank you again for considering me, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member(s)! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or administering any special care they need, I prioritize their well-being. I also plan my schedule to allow flexibility for pet sitting, ensuring I can accommodate different needs, whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly fur baby to keep your pup company! There are plenty of enrichment toys to keep them busy, along with natural, tasty treats for some extra tail wags. It’s definitely a dog’s world in this household!

About: I’ve helped my family foster dogs and cats for around 10 years. I am very involved in the process- going to vet visits, walking them, and administering medicine. In total we have saved over 200 dogs! Right now I’m on summer break from college, so I will have plenty of free time to come and take care of your precious pet! I will use positive reinforcement methods such as treats, playtime, and exercise, to ensure your dog is happy, safe, and well behaved. I enjoy cuddling with pets as well if they like that type of affection.

“Laura was amazing with my anxious boy! She was patient, gentle, encouraging and flexible. She adjusts her approach entirely based on the personality and mood of the dog she works with, and consequently my dog is in love with her!”

“The absolute best, as always! Pretty sure my dogs like Bianca more than they like me!”
