“Amy has been amazing! She comes and walks my dog while I’m working a few times a week. Amy is very communicative and friendly. Highly recommend!”


“She was amazing and so helpful! Our dog loved her at our meet and greet. Unfortunately our pup was unexpectedly sick in her kennel the day we were out of town and booked 2 walks. She made sure the kennel and our pup were clean before leaving. I appreciate her professionalism and outstanding care beyond what was asked.”


“Deana was great at communication, recording the walks, and keeping my pup so happy! Will use again. If your dog/pet is your best friend/baby, you can trust that Deana will take amazing care of them!”



About: Hello, my name is Erik. I'm a true dog lover who has been dog walking/pet sitting for over 15 years. I grew up here in New Orleans, and after being gone for several years I have returned home. I have a special connection with dogs and I love spending lots of time with them at the park playing ball, going on long walks, or just laying on the floor with them giving belly rubs . I know dogs are a special part of your family and finding someone who can take care of them is challenging. For that reason, I do my best to make them feel comfortable and treat them as if they were mine. I am a real estate agent here in the greater New Orleans area, and so I am usually out-and-about with clients during the day; for that reason, I am available most any day during the week while you are at work. I can also do afternoon, evening & overnight visits. I also like to spend about 30-45 minutes with each pet, so that they get the exercise they need during the day. I look forward to taking care of you furry baby! :)

“Devin was amazing! He watched my son’s two dogs for 3 days while he was out of town for a family event They are strong energetic dogs, a pit Bull and a pit/catahoula mix, and they loved Devin. He kept us informed, took great pictures, long walks and was extremely reliable and trustworthy. We would definitely use Devin again and highly recommend him. It’s obvious he loves dogs and knows how to handle them.”


About: I’ve had pets (dogs and cats) for nearly my entire life! I have a genuine love for all animals and am very attentive & patient. I currently have 3 cats with 3 entirely different personalities, a sweet senior dog, and a fiesty little hamster. Tell me your needs & they shall be met! I work part-time and have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I will work with your requests and be very upfront about expectations before the scheduled visits. I am offering to come to the pet’s home and provide care for them there. Before you’re away, we will schedule a meet up to go over everything. I’m happy to spend as much or as little time with your pets as you desire!

About: I have never lived with out a dog, they have always been a part of my everyday life since the day I was born and I wouldn't have it any other way! If people were more like dogs, the world would be a better place. I am at my happiest when I am with dogs and I would love to help provide care for your furry best friends! I know I am not the only dog-lover on this site, however, what sets me apart from others is that I have years of experience working as a vet tech shadow and also assisting in puppy training classes. I would love to provide your pups with tummy rubs, walks, and love when you're busy! I promise to look after your dog as if it was my own! I work full time from 10-6PM, but am available in the mornings and as soon as I’m off work! My pup comes with me to work, so I’ll be ready to care for yours outside of my work hours :) My dog has free roam of my house, but I could crate your pup if you’d like or can give him his own room while I’m out! I do not have a fenced in yard, but take my dog for several walks per day and would do the same with yours! At your house, it’s your rules and I will make whatever work.

About: With years of animal care experience, I offer personalized attention to each pet’s unique needs, whether it's playful puppies or senior pets needing extra TLC. I’m reliable, flexible, and always eager to provide a safe, fun, and caring environment for your furry family members. Whether for walks, overnight stays, or specialized care, your pet's happiness and safety are my top priorities I am working as a substitute teacher. So I often have days off. While school is off, I have time to go on long walks, or have your pet stay over night. If all you need is for me to pass by for a checkup, take them out for a potty break, or refill the food and water bowls, thats totally doable too! On Thursdays after 4.30 I can always take in pets for the evening or the whole night. Please, don't hesitate to contact me even if my schedule shows no availability as I can be flexible with my time. If needed, I can also take your pet over the weekend, if I have enough notice in advance. I have a fenced yard. A fully closed porch. No pets, no smoking. Clean and safe, 2 Bedroom house. I live in a calm neighborhood with a dog-park nearby.

About: I've always been drawn to animals who are most in need - emotionally and physically. And that means I've gained experience helping animals with medical needs. Since I was 9, I've owned, fostered, delivered, and cared for dogs, cats, and kittens. I have also had a few fish and cared for reptiles and rats, mice, and hamsters. My Norfolk terrier, Chester, had intervertebral disc disease when he was 5. Thankfully, with medical treatment, he regained feeling in his legs! I can give pills without pill-pockets, as well as liquid medicine. I've given shots. And I've administered subcutaneous fluids twice per day to 2 kittens who had panleukopenia virus so they wouldn't get euthanized. But every animal has various needs, medical or otherwise, and deserves the same and equal love and attention. I'd love to care for your cats or dogs as well! At home, a having a senior dog becomes a daily and weekly routine! As with all animals, that means: eat, poop, play, snuggle, nap, love, repeat! Animals are so smart. They know OUR routines and live by them. They say: "She's washing her face at nighttime? That must mean it's time to go outside before sleep! [yaawwn]" I'd love to have a routine with your pet! Initially, getting to know your fur baby/babies will be about taking it slow, giving them the right body (and facial) cues, being consistent, and building a routine. If you're ok with me giving them a treat, I'll do so based on your recommendation. If not, I'll just smell like I have treats! If you choose in-home services, I'll be on your pet's home turf, and I'm always letting your pet decide the play and love that they're comfortable with. If you're requesting pet-walking, your pet will require leadership, for safety reasons and for them to properly relax. Either way, your fur baby will be comfortable and at ease!

About: I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality! I’ve cared for my sweet senior dog, Pip, who needed extra TLC, an adorably picky Shih Tzu, and Louise, a high-energy Lab who never runs out of zoomies. I’m all about matching their vibe—long walks and playtime for the energetic pups, cozy snuggles for the laid-back ones, and making sure even the most particular pets feel safe and happy. I’ve also lived with cats who want to cuddle 24/7 and others who are nonstop players, so I’m ready for whatever mood they’re in. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home! I am currently enrolled at Tulane, but I have an open summer to spend lots of time with your furry friend! When school starts, I will be a bit busier but I will have lots of time in the mornings, evenings and weekends to hang out with pets. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them happy, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar space. For cats, I follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, and litter box cleaning, with plenty of patience for shy or special-needs cats like my own three-legged kitty, Sully. I love adapting to each cat’s personality—whether they want constant play, cozy snuggles, or just quiet company. For dogs, I make sure to keep up with their normal schedule for walks, meals, play, and potty breaks. I’m experienced with a wide range of dogs—from senior pups who need extra gentle care to high-energy dogs who love long walks and active play. I always focus on making them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. And of course, I know how important peace of mind is for you! I’ll send lots of photos and updates during each visit so you always know how your furry friend is doing.


About: I have personally taken my dog to dog training and also have a reference book on it incase a dog proves to be difficult. I love dogs and wish to make them as happy and comfortable as possible. I have had four dogs over my lifetime and I have had responsibility over them. I have extensively learned to care for dogs through training programs, family, and friends. And I'd love to take care of yours!


“Very nice person took my dog for 30 minute walk and she was great”


About: I love all personality types in dogs, and can easily adapt to best suit the environment that your dog thrives in. Our animals speak to us just as clearly as any human, and I pay attention to those details to provide the best care for your pet. I am flexible in availability, scheduling, and demands. While I pay attention to the little things and provide specialized care for your dog, I will always defer to the heart that holds the pet - yours! I am currently on summer break from teaching until August 4, so I have a lot of flexibility for the next couple weeks. Weekends are always flexible. M-F I am happy to do overnights and potty breaks during my lunch breaks. I am at work from 8-4, but can dedicate my 4-9 to hours walks, play, attention, or just keeping an eye on your pet! Building trust with you and your dog are the most important steps to maintaining respectful boundaries. Because I only offer service in my clients home, I will adapt based on your needs and requests related to the dog AND your home. It takes a lot to feel comfortable with someone in your home taking care of something precious, and so little to break that bond. It is of the utmost importance to me that I am a trustworthy, careful person throughout our interactions.

“Super helpful and kind to my adjusting rescue. Thank you!”

“Alex clearly loves dogs and is a great walker. He communicates well and Winston really liked him! He handled him with no problem. Alex will be our regular rover going forward!! Thanks so much”


About: I bring a calm, reliable, and attentive presence to every dog I care for. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to mellow seniors—and I always take the time to learn what makes each pup feel happy and secure. I’m comfortable with administering medications (oral, topical, and injections), following detailed routines, and supporting dogs with special needs or anxiety. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just quiet companionship, I tailor my care to your dog’s individual personality. I also prioritize clear, consistent communication so you always feel confident and informed while you’re away. I currently work in the emergency department, so my schedule varies weekly. I typically work three days a week, including 1–2 weekends a month. This means I’m available for pet care the other four days most weeks, giving me plenty of flexibility to care for your cat when you need it When caring for cats in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routines to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, a clean litter box, and any necessary medications. I also spend quality time with each cat based on their personality—whether that’s playtime, brushing, or just quiet companionship. I’m respectful of your space, follow any instructions you provide, and keep everything tidy while you’re away. My goal is to ensure your cat feels safe and content in their own home environment.

I try to work every other day and free Saturday night after 8 and every Sunday. I’m good for check ins through the day . When dog sitting I am extremely respectful of the privacy of the owners home, and if anything I can walk them around the neighborhood or yard( depending the area)

About: I have always had dogs in my life. Currently I am home to 3 medium sized pups. I have owned, rescued, and fostered dogs. I have also volunteered time at the animal shelter walking the dogs, and have participated in several pet adoption days. I own three dogs. I work in outside sales. My office is my home. Except for occasional face to face meetings, I am home most of the day. I am also physically fit and enjoy dog walks around my neighborhood, levee, and park. I am home to three amazing pups. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for dogs to run. We also live by the levee which dogs really enjoy walking along. My dogs are my children and are kept indoors. They are allowed on our furniture, which is kept clean with covers and regular cleaning. They have a scheduled feeding time twice a day. I do have two kennels 3 & 4 feet high that can be placed indoors or outdoors, if need be. I also have small kennels for tiny furry friends that stay with us, or for transportation.
