House Sitting Holy Cross

“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.”

“This was the first time in almost 10 years Ive ever left my furkid with a stranger. Everything went great and Id book her again if im ever in Nashville! Thank you for taking good care of my baby!”

“Shelby was great! I was a little worried leaving my dog for a week because he usually stays with family/friends. Shelby sent me daily updates and pictures which made me much more at ease and I could enjoy my trip. He got daily walks/activities when it was extra rainy. She was very responsive and stayed in touch when I thought my flight would be delayed, she was available to continue watching him if needed. I would 100% leave him with Shelby again.”

“Macie watches my Lulu regularly, and is always wonderful with her. She keeps her company, gives her meds, and sends me photos. I will always rebook with Macie!”

“Jamie took great care of my fur babies. She sent me updates everyday and made me feel assured they were safe and getting love. I was really nervous having to book with someone last minute as my previous plans fell through but all these nerves went away during our meet and greet. Jamie asked great questions and my animals seemed perfectly happy when I returned home. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“This was the first time leaving my pup alone, but Cheryl eased my mind every step of the way. Not only were my babies clearly well cared for, but she left our apartment in better shape than we’d left it. Highly recommended!! She definitely went above and beyond!!”

About: Hi! I’ve spent the last 11 years as a Paramedic and, while I love helping people…I love helping animals too! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for pets of all kinds. Ever since I was a child, animals have been a central part of my life. My family often took in dogs and cats in need, and I even bottle-fed orphaned puppies and kittens many times, helping them grow strong and healthy. Those early experiences shaped my calm, patient, and nurturing approach to animal care. Being a Paramedic has taught me how to remain calm under pressure. Also, that no one person is the same and will respond the same. Every person is unique. I believe animals are the exact same way! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood—especially while their family is away. Whether your pet(s) are energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or somewhere in between, I take the time to understand their unique personality and adjust my care to meet their needs. From walks and playtime to quiet companionship and cuddles, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and highly communicative. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I always prioritize reliability, punctuality, and clear updates. I’m happy to send photos/videos, and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. We can even FaceTime! Although I’m currently unable to have pets of my own where I live, that has only deepened my appreciation for every opportunity I get to spend time with animals. Caring for pets is something I truly love, and I treat every one as if they were my own. I would be honored to care for your pet and provide the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own. 🐶😽 What I Offer: - Dog & cat walking (structured or relaxed walks based on your pet’s needs) - Drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, and companionship - Pet sitting with attentive, in-home care - Care for dogs & cats of all temperaments 💛 My Care Style: - Patient and gentle approach for all personalities - Focus on safety, comfort, and routine - Calm presence for anxious or shy pets - Active engagement for energetic pets - Always respectful of your home and instructions 📸 Communication Promise You’ll always receive: - Regular photo updates - Clear check-ins after visits - Fast responses to messages - Honest communication about your pet’s well-being 🌟 Why Pet Parents Choose Me: I don’t just “watch” pets—I genuinely care for them. My goal is to make your time away stress-free by ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. That way, you can feel stress-free too! I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet(s) and become someone you can trust whenever you need reliable, loving care! **IMPORTANT** I provide services for these cities at this time: Marrero, Harvey, Gretna, Westwego, Bridge City, Avondale, Algiers, Belle Chasse, Harahan, River Ridge, Metairie, Kenner, Jefferson, & New Orleans (except for zip codes 70126, 70127, 70128, 70129).

At this time, I’m unable to offer boarding in my home. However, I’m happy to provide house sitting in your home, where your pet(s) can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I understand that many pets feel most secure in their own space, and I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable care while also treating your home with the utmost respect. My goal is to keep your pet(s) happy, comfortable, and well cared for until you return. Your pets safety, comfort, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your beloved pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will carefully follow your pets normal routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box maintenance, proper poop scoop and disposal, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special care instructions you provide. I know that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to keep their daily routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I’ll keep your home clean, secure, and well cared for during my stay, while providing your pet(s) with companionship, affection, and plenty of attention based on their individual personality and comfort level. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with confidence, knowing your pet(s) are safe, loved, and receiving dependable, compassionate care every single day & with every visit.

“Jessica continues to be our favorite go-to and is there for us even when travel plans go awry. After getting stranded in Houston for an extra night, Jessica was able to keep caring for Evangeline and Junebug, and made it so they were safe and comfortable until I got home. Jessica is the best!”
