Pet Sitting Holy Cross

“We highly recommend Caitlin. She took care of our cat Dexter for 4 days over Thanksgiving. She provided detailed reports, adorable photos, and videos. Although we always worry about our little guy, Caitlin put us at ease. When we got back, Dexter seemed so happy and well-cared for. A true gem of a sitter.”

About: If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets like they’re my own, you’ve come to the right place! I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from playful puppies to energetic large breeds and lovable little companions. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I even volunteered with an SPCA camp for several days and still enjoy spending some of my free time around animals whenever I can. Being able to care for pets brings me so much joy, and knowing they’re happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away means everything to me. I’m also a proud dog mom to a male Yorkie and a female Toy Poodle, so I understand the patience, attention, and daily care that pets need to thrive. Along with caring for my own dogs, I’ve also pet sat for friends and family on multiple occasions, giving me experience with a variety of temperaments and routines. When your pet is with me, they’ll receive lots of love, attention, playtime, belly rubs, and personalized care. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and needs to make sure they feel happy and secure. pet care can always fit into my daily routine! I work 4am-12pm but i’m always available after those times i’m a very flexible person and always free Sunday’s and Mondays! I always treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. In my client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. That includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I also keep the home clean, send regular photo updates, and make sure pets are safe! I’ll stay close to my phone incase of emergencies and i’ll make sure your pet is loved and cared for!

“Elizabeth came through for us extremely last minute and went above and beyond what we asked for in our request. We will certainly be requesting her again for future pet sitting needs!”

“Jamie has looked in daily on my cat and has been wonderful, reliable, easygoing and amazing all around! My cat adores her! She is really attuned to what he needs- playtime, lap time, checking out views from the front door or window and treat too! He is happy and relaxed in Jamie's care.”

“5 STARS! Ebony was the best. I booked last minute and she was still able to accommodate my family. She took pictures and provided daily updates. Ebony was able to keep our 9 year old Pit calm while having someone new in the home. We will definitely book again.”

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.

“She accepted my last minute request for someone to check in on my cat. Very flexible, and despite the fact I hadn't prepared, she took care of everything. Thank you!”

“Chloe is wonderful! So kind and communicative. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous, but she totally put me at ease. She agreed to a meet and greet beforehand and was so patient with my puppy. She also sent thoughtful updates with plenty of pictures and was respectful to my living space. Highly recommend, thanks, Chloe!”

About: What sets me apart is the time and care I put into getting to know every pet as an individual. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, so I’m always willing to create a care plan that’s tailored specifically to their needs. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, needs extra patience, or has special instructions, I’m happy to adapt my care to make them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet, so you can feel confident they’re receiving the same love, attention, and consistency they get from you. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, giving me the flexibility to provide dependable, attentive care. My schedule allows plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, medication if needed, and quality one-on-one attention, so your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, and lots of affection. With my veterinary clinic experience, I’m also attentive to any changes in behavior or health, giving pet parents added peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from high-energy dogs to more sensitive or anxious ones. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s emotional needs and body language, and I prioritize making them feel safe, calm, and understood in their environment. I have hands-on experience with crate training, building positive associations, and helping dogs develop confidence when left alone. I’m patient, consistent, and gentle in my approach. I tailor care to each dog rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to create a calm, secure experience for them while you’re away. I occasionally bring my well-socialized dog with me for longer stays, but only with prior approval and proper introductions. I’m a full-time dog sitter and spend most of the time at my house, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced in yard for the zoomies and I’ve dedicated a fold out couch for the dog in addition to my bed for any cuddle bubs! There’s a splash-pad and cooling stations so no one overheats after a big romp around the yard. I structure my days around walks, play, and downtime, and I’m mindful of keeping routines consistent so pets feel secure. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care on both weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize being present and your dogs will rarely, if at all, be left alone. I’m located in a quiet part of the outer 9th ward. My neighbors are friendly dog lovers too. I provide a calm, structured, and attentive environment where your pet’s safety and comfort are the top priority. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual needs, and I adjust my approach to help each dog feel safe and understood. I’m experienced with crate use, positive reinforcement, and helping dogs settle in new environments. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and take care to avoid overwhelming situations, especially for more sensitive or anxious dogs. I know when to separate dogs and how to read body language before any accidents can transpire. In your home or mine, I maintain a clean, predictable space and ensure pets are supervised, exercised appropriately, and never left in situations where they could feel unsafe or stressed.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was 6 years old. I currently have 3 dogs, a cat, and a chinchilla in my family that I care for. I absolutely adore all animals. I work for a nature institute and have a lot of experience meeting the needs of and caring for a variety of animals. I can care for dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles, and birds. I work full time, Monday through Friday. I am available for drop in visits and day care after 5:30 on weekdays. I am available most weekends at any time. I have 2 housemates that love dogs and cats. Your pet will be given a lot of love and attention from us. We have a small backyard but a good walk around the neighborhood will always be given!

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.

“we love lindsey! she takes care of my fur babies so kindly. she sends pictures so you can see your little one is loving life which makes my day to see. i’d say book her up for everything, but not too much because margaritas and peaches need her attention and love just as well! 🤗”

About: Hi! We’re Britt & James — lifelong dog lovers, experienced pet sitters, and proud pup parents to our sweet girl Jessie 🐾 Between the two of us, we’ve cared for countless dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. James works from home full-time, so pups are rarely left alone and always have company throughout the day. Britt works a flexible hybrid schedule, allowing plenty of time for walks, playtime, enrichment, and snuggles. We each bring something a little different to the table: Britt has a soft spot for senior dogs and experience with pups who need extra patience and TLC, while James is great at keeping energetic dogs active, engaged, and entertained. Together, we make a calm, attentive team that truly loves getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. We live in a quiet New Orleans neighborhood with a fully enclosed backyard featuring double-secured fencing — perfect for safe play, sunbathing, zoomies, or just sniffing around. Our home is cozy, dog-friendly, and set up to comfortably accommodate different routines. Whether your dog is playful, shy, cuddly, independent, young, senior, or somewhere in between, they’ll be treated like family here. We’d love to set up a meet-and-greet and see if we’re a good fit for your pup 😊 Daily Schedule: James works from home full-time, so dogs are rarely left alone during the day. Britt works a hybrid schedule, which allows flexibility for walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Time Alone: Dogs are typically not left alone for more than a few hours at a time. Walks & Potty Breaks: Regular walks and backyard potty breaks are built into our daily routine. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal schedule as closely as possible. Overnights: We’re home overnight and keep a calm, consistent evening routine. We maintain a calm, thoughtfully managed home environment with our pup, Jessie 🐾 She’s a gentle, easygoing dog who has been doing great with others, and we’re very intentional about compatibility when accepting bookings. We only overlap stays when it feels like a great fit for everyone involved, and we’re always happy to do slow introductions or keep dogs fully separate if needed. Your dog’s comfort and safety always come first. We live in a cozy, converted New Orleans shotgun-style house that’s easy to section off depending on your pup’s needs — whether they prefer their own space or like to stay close by. We also have a double-secured fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. Since we both work from home (James full-time, Britt hybrid), your pup will rarely be left alone and will always have a calm, animal-loving presence around. Britt is especially experienced with senior dogs and special routines, while James is patient and gentle with shy or nervous pups, particularly those who may need extra time warming up to men. We’re happy to accommodate crate training, medication, and specific routines to help your dog feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for while they’re with us.

“Abby is amazing! She was quick to communicate, great about a little meet and greet before watching my pups. The boys love her and she followed all my instructions perfectly.”

“Marisa is my dog sitter from before she was on Rover and to this day my go-to for the care of my beloved pets. She does well with my big rottweiler mix clementine who is quirky as well as my Chihuahua Enyo who has very refined tastes in humans. Marisa has cared for my dogs for long and short stays (times when I was out of the country for months) and has cared for my older lady as she was on a complicated daily medicine regiment with no issues. I literally could not reccomend anyone more highly for your pet care needs. I don't know what I'd do without her help!!!”

Zoey P.

“Michelle got our older dog to quickly warm up to her and gave our 3 month old puppy extra play time. She left the house and crates in much better shape than we expected with a puppy still being crate trained. Would definitely recommend and use again!”

About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, focusing on daily walks and overnight care. For the past 5 years, I have raised my own gentle pup, Poopoo, who is well-trained and keeps me experienced in consistent walking, feeding, and providing comfort at night. Before that, I spent 2 years in Korea helping my family raise another dog, giving me a strong background in handling different breeds and personalities. I also have 2 cats at home who are very friendly with other pets! Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me not only to walk their dogs but also to care for them overnight when they travel. I make sure each dog feels safe and loved—whether it’s long walks for active dogs, gentle care for seniors, or overnight stays where they get the comfort of a steady routine. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to dog walks and overnight care. I usually work part-time, so I’m available for morning and evening walks on weekdays, as well as extended overnight stays when you need to travel. On weekends, I can offer even more flexible availability for boarding and longer walks, making sure your pup gets the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I live in a pet-friendly environment with a calm, well-trained dog who is used to other pets. I make sure walks are always safe—using secure leashes and keeping a close eye on surroundings. For overnight care, I provide a quiet and comfortable space where your pup can feel at ease, and I always follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, routines, and any special needs.
