About: Hello! My given name is Rachel but I go by Gerome. I’d love to come help out with your pets- whether it’s sitting overnight, stopping by for visits, or taking them for walks. I’ve been enjoying pet 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 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.
“Lynda is excellent! She is super communicative and Roxy loves her! It was great to know our pup was in good hands while we were out and we really appreciated the photo and video updates. We’ll absolutely reach out to Lynda again next time we have a need for care.”

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.

“Sydney was great! She was so sweet with my pup. Very communicative about his activities, and sent great pictures. She put me at ease and will definitely use Sydney’s service again!”

About: *Pros with booking my service*: ~I am a full time pet sitter! ~Experience!

About: I have always been exposed to dogs, growing up in a house with several, which has taught me how to interact with them and speak their language. After adopting my own herding dog at 8 weeks I have taken several positive reinforcement training classes, read multiple books from different perspectives, and have been training dogs for the past 4 years using the methods I have learned. It is important to me to monitor a dogs behavior and body language in relation to other dogs and I am skilled at managing groups of dogs or problem dogs so that everyone has healthy positive interactions. Currently I'm dog sitting full time as I transition to a new place of employment so I'm able to give your loved ones full attention! I have a gated driveway with a fenced in backyard, also have a clean dog friendly minimalist house with room to play indoors, my priority would be making your pup happy and comfortable.

About: I have had dogs and cats in my house that I’ve taken care of since I was little! I’ll make sure your babies get a ton of care and cuddles when you need time for yourself. My love for animals shows through my work and you and your animals will see and feel it too! As a recent graduate who works from home with a dog myself, pet care is a daily practice in my home!

About: Hi! I’m a reliable, punctual, and caring dog walker who treats every pup like family. I understand that your dog isn’t “just a pet” — they’re your heart. Whether your dog loves long sniff-filled strolls or structured, energetic walks, I tailor each visit to their needs. Safety is my top priority, and I always pay close attention to behavior, surroundings, and comfort levels. You’ll receive updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. Let’s get those tails wagging! I'm retired and have plenty of time for your fur baby! I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and genuinely love spending time with animals. Whether it’s a quick potty break or a longer energy-burning walk, I show up on time and ready to go. Your home will always be respected as if it were my own — clean, secure, and exactly how you left it. I’m mindful of doors, gates, alarms, and routines, and I double-check everything before leaving to ensure your home and pet are safe. Your dog will be treated with patience, kindness, and attentiveness. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and comfort so they feel secure and understood. Whether your pup needs calm reassurance, structured guidance, or playful engagement, I adjust to what makes them happiest.
Lower 9th Ward dog parents share their Rover experiences
We brought our dogs down for the first and needed a last minute sitter. Sherryanne was quick to respond and so easy to work with. She also did a meet and greet before we started the dog walk sessions to get familiar with the dogs. Highly recommend leaving your pups in her care.
