“Cheryl took fantastic care of Maya our pup. We got some great photos, and it was clear that Cheryl and Maya had a great trust and friendship built up. We hope Cheryl is able to cover for us in the future when we're out of town!”
“Nikoleta was GREAT! We always wonder/worry how our pets are doing and Nikoleta sent us many updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease! She was very respectful of our place and I think it might have been cleaner after she left than it was when she arrived! We’ll definitely book with Nikoleta again!”
“Sarah was amazing! She housesat with my pup and my cat while I was out of town and I knew they were in such good hands the whole time! My pup can be nervous when first meeting new people and Sarah was so patient and sweet letting Remy warm to her in her own time showing before showing off her sassy silly self. My cat Sherlock has diabetes and Sarah did an excellent job giving him his insulin. She was super communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures of my little guys.”

About: Skilled pet sitter with 3 years of experience. I sincerely enjoy spending time with all animals and I strive to treat every cat or dog as if they were my own! Happy to help when and where I'm needed along with providing any critical care that may be required. Please know that I will gladly spoil your pet to the fullest extent (: I'm currently working part-time while also being in the Army National Guard! I tend to be free majority of the week and normally the weekends as well if I don't have drill. Please feel free to message me with any availability inquiries that you may have (: If boarding, I have a fenced in yard along with a spacious home that includes french doors that I can close off from the rest of my house in case I'm babysitting a small kitten or puppy that may require a watchful eye!
About: As a proud puppy parent to a playful 2-year-old, I know exactly what it takes to care for dogs with both heart and structure. Whether your dog needs snuggles, playtime, or a little gentle discipline, I bring the perfect balance of fun and responsibility. I’m all about making sure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and completely cared for—because that’s what I’d want for mine. From belly rubs to structured walks, your pup will be treated like family from start to finish. I work from home with flexible hours, available for walks anytime. After 4 PM weekdays and weekends are wide open to care for your dogs fully. I ensure dogs stay safe always, using crates if needed. I’m attentive and constantly watchful to keep them secure and comfortable at all times in my care
“Arissa was wonderful to work with! Our pup wasn’t so sure about having us gone initially but Arissa was super patient and kind. They ended up having a great time cuddling and playing. We’d definitely rebook with her!”
“Nikki is amazing! We have a pup that has a lot of anxiety so it’s always nerve racking leaving him with someone new. He warmed up to her almost instantly! She has great communication and left the house nicer than when we left. Highly recommend her!”
About: After a tragically pet-free childhood, I've spent the last 20 years seeking out any opportunity to care for animals—from free dog walking for friends and cat-sitting for vacationing pals to hiking with hounds and being a designated vet chauffeur. I love exploring the outdoors with a dog, chucking sticks across empty fields, and praising them for every "good stretch"! I do everything I can to make pet parents feel comfortable and assured when they leave their furry friends in my care—including plenty of photos and updates! I work from home as a writer/editor and a live-edge woodworker, so my schedule is entirely flexible and under my control. I have a fenced-in backyard with ample shade where I often write and work, so outside time is always available for the animals I care for. I love walking the city and wandering through green spaces, especially Audubon Park and City Park, and having a puppy pal to accompany me makes it even more enjoyable. My interior home space is approximately 1,800 square feet, with multiple couches and rooms and sunspots for dogs and/or cats to relax and lounge. The fenced-in backyard is well-secured with a 6-foot fence for stress-free bathroom breaks, and my active lifestyle takes me on at least 2 longer walks each day, typically in the morning and evening. At a client's home, I pride myself on being highly adaptable to new routines and expectations, and my career as an editor makes me very attentive to details, e.g., medication needs, feeding times, sleep schedules, walk durations, etc. Whether you need someone to pop in and play with your pooch for an hour, or leave your animal at my home for a longer trip, you can rest assured they will be cared for, loved and pampered in a safe and comfortable environment.
“I recently moved to the area with my senior dog and two cats and was in need of a sitter for a short trip. Caitlin had great reviews, and we spoke and met - she has a gentle, calming presence which I liked and sensed would benefit my pets in this new environment. I was right - based on her frequent communication and pictures they took to her right away! All this was great, but I was most impressed and grateful for her attentiveness and concern - the first day of my trip she contacted me regarding an unusual development with my dog - it turned out she had developed a hot spot! The early detection allowed for easy treatment (those things can get nasty quickly) which Caitlin was willing to undertake. I highly recommend Caitlin and will be using her in the future.”
“Russell was great while house/pet sitting for our recent vacation. He was very professional, kept us informed with pictures of our fur babies while we were gone, and our dogs had a blast with him. He took wonderful care of our dogs and our home. We would highly recommend him and will definitely use him again!”
“Absolutely loving to our fur babies. She took excellent care of our two mini Australian Shepherds. Jasmine is the perfect pet sitter if you are looking to have someone care for your pets as their own.”
About: I have always had pets in my home, with lovely experiences. Volunteered at 3 kennels for animals In need. I able to care for animals very well. I have open availability for the most part and do not mind working the weekends. Have lots of time to walk my new friends around. I would love to come to your home for sitting. I will walk the animals in parks and around New Orleans. Would be interested in home sitting once I get to know the animal.
“Cam took great care of my girls while I was away for a long weekend! He was a great communicator, gave daily updates and sent pictures. I will definitely be using him in the future!”
“Emily was the best pet-sitter we have ever had! She was caring, responsible, and had great communication. We received lots of pictures of our fur babies, and she checked in often, putting our minds at ease. We came home to very happy animals and our home was cleaner than how we left it. We will definitely be asking Emily to pet sit again!”

Jacob was great with our dog! He handled giving him twice daily insulin injections like a pro, was communicative, and sent us regular photos of a very happy pup. We got home to a clean house and a healthy, relaxed dog. We will absolutely use Jacob again as a sitter!
Laura is a shining star from above that has graced us with her lovely presence to tend to our 20 year old pup’s needs. We breathe a serene sigh of relief knowing Laura will be in our home attending to our dogs wants/needs. She is very delicate towards our pup and treats our home with the utmost care. After getting to know her, we feel like she is a dear friend. We rely on her to take care of our number one dog in our lives. She is just stellar.
Heather was an absolutely amazing sitter for our cat Lizzie. Lizzie has not had many sitters and she usually takes a while to warm up to new people but she was cuddling immediately because Heather has great energy and takes such good care of your pet. She's kind and caring, made sure to update us at every step along the way, took great pictures, and really showed our girl the kind of love and attention that all pets need when you're away! Everything was super easy and we would HIGHLY recommend Heather.
Brittany went above above above and beyond caring for my Juno! She took Juno on field trips, kept Juno engaged and close by her. She brought Juno on numerous fun walks to Audubon Park. She slept with Juno and bathed her and brushed her. She gave Juno all. of her medication for a rash. Juno just absolutely loved Brittany and I could tell Brittany really loved Juno. Brittany was amazing and I would highly recommend Brittany to other dog/pet owners. Juno is everything to me and I am so grateful to have found Brittany to stay in our home with my sweet Juno.
Talia house sat for us while we spent an evening out in New Orleans, and she was exactly what we needed. She was prompt, communicative, and had a calm and reassuring demeanor that was ideal for our nervous dog. Bonus points because he heard a few fireworks as we were leaving, which always scare him, and she handled it like a pro.
Kat stayed at my house and watched my 3 dogs. They loved her. She took great care of them. She did everything exactly as I wanted her to. They got tons of love from her. She sent me lots of photos and great updates. I would definitely have her back again! Thank you Kat!
