I messed up and left the chain hooked on the door so Jasmin couldn't get in. Fortunately, my cats had enough food and water to last until I got home. Jasmin was very kind about my mess up and still came to visit and pet the kitten through the crack in the front door!

About: I've been around dogs and puppies all my life so I'm used to being around them, caring for them, playing with them, and just allowing them to add to my life since I enjoy their company. *I'm also open to cats, just don't have much experience as of now :) I'm currently a college student who's looking to travel to different places, gain lovely connections, live through enjoyable experiences and explore the world through pet/house sitting. My weekdays are open most of the time since I'm often indoors and seeing cute dogs and puppies on the street makes me want to play with them. I would do daily pet routines based on the schedules they're accustomed to like feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and grooming. I'm even open to overnight pet sitting on weekends as well.

About: My family rescued our first dog, April from the local dive bar when I was six years old. According to the vet, April was just two weeks. She had been separated from her mother at birth and hadn’t even opened her eyes yet. My parents worried she'd be too much trouble. I begged to keep her and promised I'd take care of her. April became my sister, my best friend, and my greatest teacher. I fed April from a bottle, taught her how to walk up the stairs, and took her to puppy training classes. April taught me the practice of presence, and the value of unconditional love. Our time spent together makes up some of my most cherished childhood memories. At the age of 13, pet-sitting became my first job. I loved it so much, I didn’t even understand how it could be considered a job. I took care of the animals, and the animals took care of me. In my decade+ of pet-sitting, I’ve worked with a range of breeds, ages, and temperaments. Walking 100lb. pitbulls with fear aggression. Administering medication to seniors. Feeding finicky rescued stray cats. I even fostered and re-homed an abandoned puppy that found me on the beaches of Costa Rica. I can confidently claim that I’ve never once had an animal “reject” me as their caretaker, and I think that says a lot. In the last 6 years, I’ve been living and traveling as a digital nomad. My lifestyle doesn’t currently allow for a pet of my own, so pet-sitting is a blessing that allows me the opportunity to care for pets as if they were my own. I work part-time as a meditation & yoga teacher, and part-time remote as an event organizer. This lifestyle allows me to be very flexible in taking on pet-sitting and house-sitting opportunities. I can build most of my work day around your pets schedule (and I'm more than happy to do so!) I offer long-term and short-term visits and overnight stays to take care of your pets in their own home. I've found that, for most pets, being in the security and routine of their own environment is the best way for them to cope with their owners temporary absence. I make sure to upkeep your pet's sense of "normalcy" to the best of my ability by feeding and walking them at regular intervals, being an active participant in play time (when desired), giving them snuggles (when desired), and just keeping them company! I make sure to upkeep YOUR sense of "normalcy" by respecting your space, keeping it as clean and organized as when I arrive (if not even more so), and following any & all house rules. In addition to overnights, I LOVE to take on daily walks and wellness checks when you're at work or just too busy to do it all on your own!

About: I've had dogs my entire life. My last pup, Pooka, died a few years ago after living around the world with me for 16 happy years. So I'm an empty nester looking to love on your pets until I'm ready to get one of my own again. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities and even some special needs. I work from home in a sizable house on a flat topped mountain. I already take 1-2 walks during my workday to stretch my legs. Other than that, I'm a huge homebody. I’m currently living up on a mesa in the middle of nowhere. Plenty of room to run and chill. The space is not fenced so I can keep pups on leash, if needed.

About: I've had pets my entire life. I'm retired now and travel extensively for part of the year, so I'm unable to have pets of my own and thought this would be a great way to keep busy while I am in town. I have a doggy door and a large, gated backyard for games of fetch or hide and seek. I will provide a safe, loving home while you are away or drop-in if you so choose. When I'm in NOLA, I often work part-time from home. I'm retired so you could call me a homebody, and I'm often found working in my garden. In the fourth quarter of the year, I do travel until thanksgiving but will keep my calendar here updated. I am relatively flexible with scheduling. My son recently moved and took his Boston Terrier with him, so there are no longer any pets in my home. I have a large, fenced yard perfect for games of hide-and-seek or fetch, and I'm often in the back as well working on my garden. I do not have any plants that would present a danger. I love to take long, daily walks on the levee, which is only two blocks away...and would love to bring your pet along! I often have family visit, who also love pets.

About: I have been around animals my entire life and absolutely adore them. Friends and family rely on me to take care of their animals while away and I have plenty of experience feeding, walking, bathing, and playing with various types of dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, horses, and birds. Currently I don’t own any pets of my own and I’m missing their company! I currently am working from home on a lenient schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your furry baby in any capacity. I am extremely respectful of personal belongings and routines if you’re in need of in home care for your animal. I love the outdoors so I’m more than willing to come scoop up your dog for a fun day outside!

About: Hello there! I am a former veterinary assistant with 6 years of experience in the field. I have experience with cats and dogs of all age ranges and mobility levels and I’d love the opportunity to give your babies the care they need while you’re out and about! I know it can be quite anxiety inducing to leave your baby in someone’s care, so I am more than happy to send you as many text and picture updates as you’d like! I am currently working a full time 8am-5pm after leaving the veterinary industry, but would love the chance to be hands on with animal care again! I am available on the weekends to watch your baby if you’re working or just enjoying a day in the city. I will be vigilant for anything in the home, yard, or out on the street that may pose a risk to your babies safety and well being while in my care! If your baby has any special instructions or needs, please let me know and I’ll be sure to follow them during our time together!

About: I offer a unique and caring approach to pet sitting, specializing in puppy carr and senior care. My skills were honed over three years working at a professional pet care center in Lyon, France, where I gained hands-on experience with a variety of needs, including medication and specific routines. I provide safe, customized care for every pet and will send you plenty of updates and photos if requested. I'm passionate about fitness and animals, so I've found the perfect combination: dog walking! I'm dedicated to providing high-energy walks that benefit both of us. Your dog gets the stimulating exercise they need, and I get my daily cardio in. It's a win-win! I'm responsible, reliable, and committed to giving your dog a safe and fun experience. Let's make sure your pet feels happy and secure while you're away. My schedule is very open, morning to evening, up until August 16th, 2025. I'll be sure to update my profile with my class schedule after that. I see every walk as a total experience, not just a chance for exercise. It's also a dedicated safety check! I'm always super aware of our surroundings, keeping my eyes peeled for any potential hazards and making sure your dog is happy and comfortable with the environment. My experience at a pet care center in France was a huge help, teaching me to be proactive and to really understand a dog's body language. I can spot and prevent issues before they ever become a problem. My main goal is to keep your dog's routine just as it is, right in the comfort of their own home. By sticking to their regular schedule for walks, potty breaks, and playtime, I can help minimize stress and maximize their happiness. Our energetic walks are the perfect way to provide an enriching experience and some new scenery, all while making sure your dog feels totally secure and loved.

About: Always grew up with dogs I always ended up being the one to properly take care of them, transitioned into a cat guy in adulthood. I’m new to doing this professionally but have sat dogs and cats for friends and family for years I work evenings as a tour guide where my hours are typically 4pm-10pm, so my days are open and if needed your pets won’t go long without care. I’m a respectful houseguest and a patient caretaker. Mama always said “Leave it better than you found it”. Whatever your pet needs I can handle, from basic needs to whatever weird quirks they have

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.
