Doggy Day Care Lake Catherine

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, starting from rescuing strays as a kid. I have years of hands on experience with dogs of all ages, including my own senior pup who was named Cici. She needed medication around the clock and caring for her taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to follow a strict care routine. I’m comfortable giving meds, understanding special needs, and making sure pets feel loved, safe, and understood. I would love to hang out with your fur babies and give them some extra loving! I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! Every day will be a party and I’d love to have some company! In my home, pets will have a safe, clean and comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime and plenty of snuggles. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I will make sure they get regular leashed walks, potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time. I will stick to their usual feeding schedule, keep fresh water available at all times and follow any medication or special care routines exactly.

“Karen was an amazing sitter. My dog loved going to her house and I always got pictures of his day. Would definitely use her again in the future.”

About: I grew up with many animals, and have been a pet owner my whole adult life. I frequently pet sat for family friends throughout my high school and college years. I'm a teacher home for summer break, so I will have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I'm available days, nights, and weekends. We have a cozy, pet friendly home and a large fenced in backyard. Between my 5yr Boston Terrier and 6 yr old son, you're dog will be sure to get lots of attention and snuggles.

“Lindsey is awesome. She gave me lots of pics & updated me without me having to ask. I have a bulldog & was worried about humidity but she paid attention to detail & took amazing care of him. I felt great having him in her hands & I found myself relaxed that I knew he was in good hands. He also came home with a little dog report card. Highly recommend!”

“Amber was truly the best person to leave my sweet puppy with for the day! She kept me updated through text with pictures and videos throughout his entire stay, she invited me in when we arrived to give me the assurance of knowing where he would be for the day. Her home was very clean, tidy, and she was inviting to make me more comfortable. My anxiety about leaving him for the day was immediately relieved. Do not hesitate to let her care for your pets!!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 15, and it’s truly second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, cuddles, administering meds, or just being a comforting presence, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. My experience includes overnight stays, and extended care while pet parents are away. I understand that every animal has its own routine and personality, and I make it a priority to adapt to their needs so they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. Pet care is an easy fit in my daily routine because it’s something I genuinely love doing. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs. I plan my days around the animals I care for, making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Because I’m organized and communicative, you can count on timely updates and consistent care while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and routine become a part of mine while they’re in my care! In Your Home: When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow your instructions closely including feeding times, walk schedules, medication, or favorite toys and treats. I respect your space and treat your home with care, making sure your pet feels safe, secure, and loved while you’re away. I also provide regular updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. In My Home (if applicable): If your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like part of the family. I offer a cozy, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play, relax, and feel at home. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment throughout the day. My home is quiet, safe, and perfect for pets who need a calm environment.

“Friendly and accommodated my needs.”

About: I love animals and have had pets since I was a little girl! I have a mini golden doodle and a border collie mix now. They are my best friends. I’d love to meet and hang out with your pets and love on them like their my own!🐶 I work 2-3 days a week. But only for 5-6 hours a day. I can be free from work if needed to watch your pet! I have a fenced in yard and have a back yard to let your dogs run free. I have plenty of toys to play with and lots of love to give! I also have a walking trail close by that I take my dogs on regularly. I have a doggy door that your dogs can go in and out as well.

About: I’ve had my family dog, Princess, a Pomeranian-Papillon mix, since I was four years old. I was the one who named her, and she’s been my best friend ever since. I’ve cared for her through every stage of her life, from a playful puppy to now as a senior dog, so I understand that pets have different needs as they get older. Senior pets have a special place in my heart, and I’m always happy to give them the extra patience and love they deserve. I’m a college student home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. I usually only take one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so they’ll get lots of one-on-one care and won’t have to compete for attention. I’ll stick to your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, and I ask that owners provide their pet’s food, medications (if needed), favorite toys, and any other essentials. If I’m caring for a cat, I’ll also need their litter box, litter, and other supplies. Communication is really important to me. I’ll send plenty of pictures and updates, and if you’re missing your pet, I’m even happy to FaceTime so you can check in. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re apart. I’m currently a college student home for the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they get lots of attention throughout the day. I usually only care for one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so I can focus on giving them the care and attention they deserve while sticking to their normal routine as closely as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and I share my home with my senior dog, Princess. She’s older, independent, and usually keeps to herself, but I’ll always make thoughtful introductions and make sure everyone is comfortable. I only accept one family’s pet(s) at a time (unless otherwise arranged), so I can give them my full attention and closely monitor their interactions. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I’ll keep your home tidy if I’m caring for your pet there, and I’ll always make sure water is fresh, the environment is clean, and your pet feels safe and comfortable. If I ever notice anything unusual, I’ll let you know right away so you can have peace of mind.

“Took such good care of Tulip. It was a relief knowing she was safe while I had to go to work in a new place. Very responsive and sent photos everyday”

“Ms. Etta is always great with Bronx! I literally never have to worry about him when he’s with her. She treats my boy like one of hers and I’m so glad we found her 😊”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and they’ve always been at the center of my world. My most recent pup, Effy, was with me for 15 years — she was truly the love of my life. While I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own again, I couldn’t imagine my life without them, which is why I’m so excited to be here on Rover! Your pet will be loved and cared for like my own. I can’t wait to meet them I work from home Monday–Friday, so your pet will have my full attention throughout the day — no long stretches alone. I am able to work remotely so care during the day is no issue. I live in an apartment in Meraux above my dad’s office, so while there’s no yard, we have plenty of space to get outside for walks. There are stairs, but I’m happy to carry pets up and down as needed.

“We stopped in New Orleans for a quick dinner & Emily watched my Elphie for a 2 hour stretch so we could eat & Elphie could play! Thank you again!”

About: I've had many pet dogs and a few cats in my house since my childhood. I care deeply for animals and I'll do my absolute best to take care of others if I get the opportunity. I'm a dog owner and I have a very flexible schedule. I'm in pretty good shape and love to walk and run around with my Bella. I have a large fenced-in yard and I don't mind dogs in the house. My Bella is friendly and would love company sometimes. I can handle and care for your dog responsibly. I’m retired and like to stay active and I like spending time walking and staying fit so I walk when I can and I love doing it with my dog buddies. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around in, it’s safe and secure. My dog would like to get to know some other dogs.

“If I could leave 10 gold stars I would! Lindsey took such good care of my very spoiled little pugs. They hate being alone and I don't think they had a moment unattended in the 5 days they spent with Lindsey. Her dog Lola sealed the deal for the pugs as they love other dogs and feel like it's a party if other furry beings are around. On the second morning we were to take the dogs to Lindsey they didn't get off the couch. As soon as we asked if they wanted to see Lola, they were immediately at the door- such a good sign! Every night we picked up happy, tired doggies. We were able to visit New Orleans without worrying about our babies. A Godsend! Thank you so much Lindsey. We so appreciate you!”

“Juliana is super sweet and took great care of our puppy. She was cool with our fluid schedules on drop off and pick up and she was amazing with our puppy.”

About: I grew up raising dogs and cats in my household. Since 2010 I've adopted pets on my own, cats and a dog. I currently have one cat I rescued as a kitten three years ago and a dog who loves to play that I rescued 2 years ago from a shelter. Im a teacher who loves spending time with pets and I enjoy the extra excitement that comes from watching little ones for those who are out of town. I love showering pets with affection and all the care they need to be joyous and safe. I love walks and play time with all my animals. Getting to help make a pet feel loved would be a perfect use of my time.

“Hazel returned to Roxanne's for a date and she was so excited when she got out of the car I thought she might knock the front door down! She came back to us well played and very happy.”

“Evlin is THE BEST! We needed to board our 1yo Frenchie while we were out of town for a week. It was his first time boarding so we were very nervous. Evlin was very knowledgeable about “flat faced” dogs so she knew how to walk him without overheating him. She kept us updated with daily photos, which made our kids very happy. She obviously loves dogs very much and is a very professional and responsible pet sitter. We can’t wait to have her watch our little buddy again!!!!”

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.
