About: I’ve had pets my whole life growing up! I got my first on cat (Katniss) as a freshman in college, and she is now 12 years old and thriving well! I got my first dog (Albus) the next year and he is a 106 pounds black lab who is also doing very well. I am a teacher so I am off from June-July 20 all day, every day. I can show up on short notice and stay for extended periods if needed! My schedule for the next 2 months is extremely flexible, and I’m willing to work with your schedule as well! I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I’m very experienced caring for multiple pets in a home environment. I have a condo in Metairie a block from the levee where I can take a dog on a good walk, and my parents house in mandeville with a fenced yard where pets can safely play and get fresh air. I can easily crate your dog or cat if needed, follow any specific feeding, medication, or routine instructions, and provide plenty of love, attention, and enrichment. Whether the service is at my home or yours, my goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

“Was able to come by at the last minute to help let my dog out when I had to attend a series of all-day events in town. Immediately responsive and so sweet to my little River!”

About: Hi! I have previously done Rover and found so much joy in it. I am a huge animal lover. My father breeds golden doodles so I have experience caring for puppies. I have a 3-legged cat named Shanks who is my best friend. My cat was hit by a car and was the oldest cat in the humane society, left with a broken leg. Now Shanks is missing a leg but is the most spoiled rotten cat! I am very empathetic towards animals and have lots of experience with big and small dogs. I can’t wait to get to meet your babies! I am currently working at a hospital full time. But I enjoy getting up early for morning walks. I am open M-F mornings as well as the afternoons after 5. Weekends I am usually available all day. I care for my pets by giving them all of my attention. I have a disabled cat who I have helped him meet some of his needs. He has a litter robot, automatic foot, and water bowl. This is to track his health and ensure he is hydrated. He has lots of toys that keep him active. I take him on walks in his stroller. He has a cat tree to sleep and hide in. He gets wet food every so often to also help with hydration. My cats health is my main priority.

“Eryn was absolutely wonderful! She listened to all our directions and kept us up to date the whole time. She was patient and loving with our crazy animals and we are so grateful to her. We will absolutely use her again!”

About: I’m a Tulane Law student who has pet sat for friends and neighbors for over 12 years. I have a flexible school schedule and would love to spend my extra time making sure your dogs and cats are safe, well cared for, and having fun while you’re away! I am a full-time student with flexible hours. I have no weekend school or job commitments, and during the week I’m available for walks, check-ins, etc before and after my classes (typically 10-1pm). I’m happy to discuss specifics with you and find a schedule that works best for your pets, so please feel free to reach out! I have experience with animals that are crate trained and those who are not, and am happy to fulfill whatever roles you need to ensure your pets are kept in their routines while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown to love the company of animals over people most days lol. I’m a doggy mom to a big Pitt/Hound 8 month old puppy named Cocoa & he’s about 75lbs already! I’m also a mom of 4 so I’m pretty good at multitasking. Im a chef & I also own a small cleaning business & have often times been entrusted with the tasks of pet sitting, feeding, walking & bathing of their fur babies while on jobs or just as help on days outside of cleaning jobs. I have healthy recipes for animal treats & love to watch them gobble them down once permission is granted by mom or dad of course. Animals tend to gravitate towards me & I absolutely adore the good feels I get from their pure energy & love. I would be more than happy to meet your new fur babies & take part in spoiling them a little. Im an entrepreneur so my schedule is pretty flexible outside of my kids… I usually only need a days notice of a needed appointment for smoothie sailing on both sides but I’m definitely open to being on call of sorts if ever needed in an emergency situation. I can make accommodations for pet sitting during the day or over night whenever needed but only in the clients home as my home as small kids present always. I have no issue with crating your fur babies if needed. I’m knowledgeable on how to harness a dog & I know how to restrain them if transportation is ever required. I’ll care for your pets just as I would my own, with love & kindness.

About: I previously dog sat over the weekend with my sister using Rover. I loved the experience and am eagerly awaiting to meet new pets! I have pet sat both dogs and cats for friends over the years. Feeding them, taking them on walks, and generally socializing with them while their owner is away for work or vacation. I have free roam rabbit and have taken care of various small animals since I was young. I am always patient and gentle with animals, and love giving pets and cuddles when accepted by the animal. I recently moved back to New Orleans and currently do not have a regular job. I have completely open availability to meet pets in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I allow pets time and space to get to know me. This includes sitting the room together, speaking softly, and holding out my hand for sniffing. I am attentive to the pets boundaries and needs to provide the best care possible.

About: Been giving my love to animals since I was a little girl. Family have trusted me with providing what is necessary for our furry friends. I'm currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule, and have enough time watching over furry family. I can do frequent house visits if needed. I don't host animals in my home but and open to pet sit and house sit if needed. I can also do house visits if needed.

“Absolutely great with our 2 dogs and 4 cats! One of our dogs is very anxious and usually takes a long time to be comfortable with people but she warmed up quickly and absolutely loved ShaeNoel during the visit! Received updates and pictures. Definitely rebooking!”

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of dogs since my early childhood. I currently operate a small dog walking business servicing the new orleans area. I currently plan on Pet walking and sitting on weekends and after 4pm on weekdays. I work full time and get off at 4pm which is right on time for walks, food and enrichment activities. I care for pets by making sure that they are consistently stimulated, whether that be music, petting, walks, conversation, play or mental enrichment. Your pet will be treated like family when you book with me :)

“Ayanna is a true blessing. She was extremely helpful and flexible with our travel plans, and made sure to take extra care of our little guy. She’s the real deal and will absolutely be using her again for our next travel. Thank you Ayanna!”

Christopher K.

“I had a great experience with Leanne (drop-in visits, 2 cats). She provided consistent updates with prompt, reliable communication and left the house better than she found it. Will look to book her again in the future!”

“So communicative and flexible when we needed someone to do a drop in last minute while we were out all day. Would highly recommend for your pet care needs. Thank you!!”

About: I have been a dog lover and owner all my life. Getting outside and getting plenty of exercise is something I consider to be especially important. I enjoy taking long walks and playing catch, chase and tug-o-war with all kinds of puppies. Need a sitter or just a quick walk? I can even bathe your puppy if necessary. I am looking forward to sharing my time and helping out with your fur baby! Have a blessed day!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have a 7-year-old cat of my own, so I truly understand how important it is to trust someone who is caring for your pet. To me, pets are family members, and I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I have experience with many different types of dogs and feel comfortable around dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog is playful and energetic or calm and a little shy, I’m patient and attentive to their individual needs. I also have a lot of love and understanding for cats and know how to respect their space and unique personalities. I’m currently working part-time and studying, which gives me flexibility during the week and weekends. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-ins, and walks depending on the day. I’m very responsible with schedules and always make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. Spending time with animals is something I truly enjoy, so I’m happy to adjust my routine when possible to make sure your pet is comfortable and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow the pet owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, routines, medication, and house rules. I’m very patient and attentive to each animal’s personality and needs. I make sure pets feel safe, calm, and loved whether I’m caring for them in your home or spending time with them outside for walks. I also keep owners updated with messages or photos so you know your pet is doing well.

About: I’ve spent over 15 years pet sitting regularly and in recent years, I’ve been a traveling pet/house sitter. I have thirty plus 5 star reviews from the Trusted Housesitters platform, as well as references which I’m happy to share upon request. I worked as a vet tech assistant and kennel technician at a Rio Del Mar Pet Hospital in Aptos, CA for 2 years. I was a stable care taker, at Little Paddocks Farm in Yorktown, VA for 7 years. I helped train dogs and horses, we also had pigs and cats that I cared for. I absolutely love plants too, so watering and maintenance is something I enjoy. I will happily take care of gardens and bird feeding as needed. My schedule is flexible, I base my schedule around pet and house sitting. I’m available for single day visits, as well as weekly and monthly agreements. I care deeply for animals, and truly enjoy comforting pets while the owners are away. I know it can be very stressful for pets and their owners when they’re apart. I look forward to helping your animal companions stay calm and stress free while you’re away!
