About: I've walked dogs in Dallas, Tx for three years. I've been taking care of my own dog since moving here to New Orleans. Love all kinds of dogs. I'm recently retired and looking for some extra income. I love all kinds of dogs big or small and their individual personalities. I'm also a long time cat owner and love them as well. I would like to offer my service to stay at your home with your pet. I will feed, adminster medicine, walk, and groom your pet.

About: I have had dogs in my life since i was 11 years old (27 years). Last october i had to say goodbye to my companion of 11 years, Wanda. I am not ready for another dog of my own and want to be around your dogs as much as possible. I believe in reciprocal relational dynamics between humans and dogs are the best approach to training and trust, not dominance and control. I would like to care for your dog by building a relationship with them based on their personality and needs. Would love to meet you and your dog! I am currently a self-employed carpenter and bee keeper. My schedule is very flexible and i can work with you and your dogs schedule and needs. I live in a household with 3 other dogs who are my roommates', so I cannot board at my home, but am more than happy and available for caring for them at yours. I am good with all size and age of dogs.

“Skyler is fantastic and I have no reservations about recommending her.. She was reliable, communicative, and my dog was so HAPPY -- both in the photos she sent as well as when I arrived home. .”



“Evlin was the best! Not only did she take a great walk with Bruno but she put up with his pulling and shared great dog tips with me. I will definitely use her again!”


About: I am a flexible, reliable dog owner and lover. I understand the amount of energy dogs can have, and I work to meet their individual needs. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality. I am available many days of the week to take care of your babies while you are away at work. I also have an older dog with special needs, so I am understanding of dogs with disabilities or medical needs, and I know how scary it can be to leave your senior dogs with someone new. I am available to take your dog on plenty of walks through out the day to ensure that they are getting the exercise and attention they need. I have taken care of dogs for many years and I understand how important they are to a family, so I strive to treat everyone's dog as my own. I have toys and leashes and treats so that all my dogs have a great time, and to make drop off and pick up easy on the owners! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can be available according to your dog's regular routine and needs. I like to stick to the dog's regular routine as closely as possible. I like to learn about the dog and it's owner so that I understand their usual routine, so that we can stick to what they are used to as closely as possible to minimize seperation anxiety and prevent any schedule disruptions.

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.

About: My husband and I love dogs! We adored our large hound dog, Emmylou, for 13 years. She recently passed away and we were heartbroken. Caring for her from the time she was a puppy and then into old age was an enormous gift and learning process. We were able to watch her energy change as she aged, and felt very comfortable taking care of her senior needs as she developed more health issues with time. Emmylou loved long walks up until the end, which is something I truly miss doing with her and long to do with other dogs. We recently fostered a dog for several weeks that had a lot of puppy energy and was around 23 lbs. She loved long walks and playing in our yard and in several parks in our neighborhood. Whatever specific needs your dog might have, I am up to the task of caring for them! My husband and I currently work from home, and one of us is always at home during the day. We often go to the gym in the evening. Usually the longest we’re gone for is about 2.5 hours. We’d love to bring your dog along with us on any local adventures we might do, if it’s something you’d be comfortable with. We have a good size fenced back yard in the Bywater near the Marigny. Getting into and out of the house is relatively easy.The entry way to our home has 4 steps and so does the deck entry to the backyard. We mostly work from home. We also live in a very walkable neighborhood. I’ll take your pup on 2 walks a day if they like. We have a fenced in yard. I also have a crate if your pup needs one. Dogs are allowed on the furniture. We just don’t let them on the bed.

About: You are your dog's best friend, I'll be their 2nd best bud. Through out the eight years I've developed real friendships with the pups I've sat for and walked. I'll take your dog out for long walks/runs and play or lazily lay around and cuddle them while your gone. I've cared for toy Yorkies and Italian Mastiffs, I have no preference and love all dogs indiscriminately and I think your dog will feel the same about me. I have a very flexible schedule and am easy to work with. While I haven't had the opportunity to care for a pup with special needs, I certainly am not opposed to doing so and will provide them with the care they deserve. I look forward to meeting your best friend!

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.

About: Hello! My given name is Rachel but I go by Gerome. It'd be an honor to take great care of your pets and home while you’re away. I’ve been enjoying pet and house sitting often for the past many years, through various platforms and by word of mouth. I grew up with beloved cat, dog and rat pets. I’m a plant person as well, so can happily tend to yours while you’re away. I can easily arrange my day around the regular schedule, needs and preferences of your pets, and give them plenty of company. I’m happy to provide daily updates with pictures. It’s an honor and a pleasure to get to spend quality time with pets in their own homes where they are comfy, and out n about on adventures! I love getting to know the quirks and character of each cutie, and providing care accordingly.

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.

About: I worked for 5 years as a doggy-daycare employee and trainer, and I’ve had dogs and cats all my life! I even have cherished memories helping my aunt deliver puppies on our farm growing up. I am a high-energy, extroverted person, and I love playing with animals and giving them love. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I have been trained in tactics to keep myself and your dog safe, happy, and healthy! Friends and family members have entrusted me in the past for dog-walking, babysitting, house sitting, plant watering, etc. as I am clean, respectful, quiet, and trustworthy! I have also cared for unconventional pets in the past such as snakes, lizards, Guinea pigs, horses, goats, chickens, among others! I recently completed my Masters degree and seeking full-time employment in my field, so I have a very open schedule. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I care for pets with just as much attention as I do with kids when I babysit! When I meet your dog, I’ll let them get a good sniff so they can know me better, then depending on the dog I will play with them or pet them to strengthen our bond! I think creating trust between myself and the dog makes a better experience for the both of us! I am happy to cuddle and cradle your dog, or take them to the park to get their energy out!

Monty G.Star Sitter
“Monty has been my go-to dog walker since 2022. I really appreciate how well they connect with my dog (she is all wags whenever they see each other, and she is not like that with everyone!) and it means a lot to me to be able to send her for a walk with someone I trust when I'm not able to myself. They're approach in relating to dogs really puts me at ease. They are a patient listener when my dog is trying to communicate something, but also balance that well with asserting limits. I think it really helps my dog feel secure with them. They are also reliable, courteous, and consistent in communicating with me, not just my dog. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible, caring dog walker.”

Cindy O.Star Sitter
“Cindy is an excellent dog sitter. Over the last ten years, she has cared for our dog, Lindsey. Either for a short weekend, or for an extended vacation my husband and went on. We had no worries knowing he was in good hands. Cindy lives alone and has no pets of her own because she does go out of town occasionally. She has a doggy door in her kitchen which allows Lindsey to go to her huge fenced-in back yard carpeted with St. Augustine grass. Cindy is trustworthy and reliable. Dogs don't lie, and if they like you, you know it. Cindy loves my Lindsey, and he loves her too. If Cindy is available, you would be blessed for her to care for your dog.”

Marsha W.
“Marsha has cared for my 180 pound Italian mastiff for years. She is a very loving and compassionate dog lover. Marley is always so happy to see Marsha. We often tease Marsha that I think Marley loves her more then my wife and I. We have traveled for a week at a time and have left Marley with Marsha very confident that she will get the very best care available. Before Marsha started taking care of Marley, we would take her to the vet and Marley hated it and never ate. Marsha is amazing with my girl!”


John S.
“John watched my dog and cat while I was gone for 10 days and I didn't have to worry once about them because I know they were in great hands! He sent photos and updates throughout my trip, brought my social dog to coffee shops and parks, and made sure she got enough exercise and had a good time during each day. I absolutely recommend booking with John. This was the longest time I was away from my dog, and I definitely ended up missing her more than she did me because she had such a fun time with him!”


Rachel "Gerome" U.
“I have to say I've probably lost track of how many times Gerome's watched our pets... I think probably four or five and and we have plans for her to come back again next week for our next trip... so I guess you could say whenever she's available, she's our first choice :-). I think a sign of how we feel about her is we never bug her about sending reports of pictures because when she's there, we know everything's good.... but if days go by and she doesn't hear from us, she'll often send a text anyway with a photo of one of the cats and news of signs they've been in a scuffle with another animal or that they've taken their meds. She's great with the pets, flexible, and she always leaves the house, probably better than the way she found it!”


Caroline N.
“I have found Caroline to be extremely nurturing and responsible! She was gracious enough to watch my dog in an emergency and sent me photos the entire time of their visit. She gave me peace of mind! I would definitely hire her if needed again.”


Grace H.
“If you are looking for a new pet sitter, Grace is the perfect person! I have had the pleasure of knowing Grace for many years, and she is incredibly kind, compassionate, and responsible. She cares deeply for animals, and the bond she shares with my cat, Fawkes, is both endearing and inspiring. With Grace as your pet sitter, your furry friends will be in the best hands!”
