“Arissa was wonderful to work with! Our pup wasn’t so sure about having us gone initially but Arissa was super patient and kind. They ended up having a great time cuddling and playing. We’d definitely rebook with her!”

“Chloe did a fantastic job taking care of my pups! I loved all the photos and updates. They were happy and my home was as clean as I left it. Thank you, Chloe, Cohiba & Ollie look forward to seeing you soon!”

“Sarah was a wonderful dog sitter in my home. She communicated well and even helped out when my landlord needed to drop by. Dogs were happy and the house was clean. Thank you, Sarah!”


“I had a couple of stays scheduled with Cheryl so this is a repeat of what I wrote for the initital stay: This was my 1st time hiring Cheryl and I have to say I was impressed. My neighbor did the meet and greet since I had already left town and she was open to direction as needed (since for an elderly dog, there is allot to know). Cheryl was even flexible enough to pick up a couple of extra shifts when I had a last minute cancellation which saved me. From all my communication with her, I could tell she was focused on my furbaby's care. Yes...I would hire Cheryl again!”

“Elizabeth stayed at our house to pet sit for our senior kitty. Elizabeth gave picture updates and was communicative the entire time while we were away. When we arrived, our kitty had clearly gotten tons of care and attention! The house was also kept clean and tidy just like when we left. Will definitely be using Elizabeth on future trips!”

“Macie was so helpful with my dogs while I was out of state! She kept me closely updated regarding my old and chronically ill dog. She administered many meds and even went to the store to grab something for them. She was exactly what we needed for our week long trip, would definitely recommend!”

“Justin took great care of all 4 pets with all their little quirks and needs. He was communicative and shared a lot of pics. I definitely recommend him and hope he’ll come back soon :)”

“Khalifa took the absolute best and very spontaneous care of our two dogs. She’s absolutely trustworthy, super communicative. Always kept me updated about my baby’s and they were so happy. I highly recommend her!”

“Ryan was a rockstar sitter. It was my first time using Rover to find someone to watch our house and 3 dogs. Ryan was available on very short notice and went with the flow when we asked him to administer medication to one of our pups at the last minute. The dogs loved him from the get go and we could tell in all the pictures that Ryan sent how at ease they were with him. We will definitely be calling him in the future. Thank you so much, Ryan!”

“Sonjia did a wonderful job dogsitting at our home while we were out of town. She provided daily updates with pictures and left our house spotless. The pups seemed to love her!”

“John was very communicative and took great care of my two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. Photos or videos each day helped me feel less sad while away. Also, he watered my plants & took great are of my home. I highly recommend John & will call upon him in the future.”

“Abby was great! Super communicative and we met before the time she was housesitting so she could meet the dogs and see our house. She took great care of our dogs and our house and was a delight. The dogs snuggled with her and she was great about walking them and taking good care of them. We are so grateful for Abby!”

“Tranisha was an AMAZING puppy sitter! She was timely and communicative about arriving and getting used to both the pups and my home. Both my pups have some unique quirks related to some past attacks/trauma histories and Tranisha was skilled at observing those behaviors and able to understand and adapt to match their styles and needs. After having struggled with some petsitters in the past I felt completely at ease with Tranisha being there with my pups! It was such a relief to know they were enjoying themselves and safe! I am really incredibly grateful and couldn't recommend her more :)”

“Caroline watched my dog Gus for a long weekend and did a great job. Gus’ partner had passed assay about 2 months before our trip and was suffering from separation anxiety. Caroline did a good job and kept Gus comfortable while we were gone.”

“I am so glad I found Monty to watch my dog Honeybun! They were a perfect sitter for him, he seems happy and very well cared for after my little trip and that means the world to me. Highly recommend Monty 😊”

“Veronica was great!! She took such great care of our fur babies over the Thanksgiving holiday. She sent me lots of pictures every day! She is a joy! We will be booking with her again!!”


About: Hi, I’m Blair! Animals have always been a huge part of my life — they’re not just my passion, they’re my heart. Back in Los Angeles, I turned that love into a career by running my own dog daycare, where I cared for pups of all sizes and personalities. I also worked as a veterinary assistant for over 5 years, so I bring both experience and compassion to every pet I meet. Now that I’m in beautiful New Orleans, I can’t wait to spoil your furry best friend with love, attention, and plenty of playtime. I’m Pet CPR and First Aid certified, so you’ll have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe and cared for. Whether it’s long walks through the neighborhood, belly rubs, or capturing adorable photos to send you while you’re away, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and right at home. I’d be honored to be your go-to pet sitter here in New Orleans! 🐶🐾💛 Monday- Friday drop off options are 7:15am or earlier / 7pm or later. POTTY BREAKS EVERY 8HRS. Pet must be able to be left alone for 8hrs. (APPLIES TO WEEKDAYS ONLY) Sat-Sun- Open availability Please feel free to message me with any questions regarding times. In my home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family — whether that means plenty of playtime, cozy rest areas, or keeping to their normal routines. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining the environment and routines they’re already used to, so they feel secure and at ease. I always provide lots of love, attention, and updates, and of course, I treat every pet like they’re my own.
“Caitlin was wonderful with my two dogs. She was extremely responsive from the start--even before the stay--and communicated often during the stay with pictures and to give updates. One of my dogs has some allergy issues that require as-needed oral medication, and Caitlin was great about reaching out to update me on my dog's symptoms and then giving him the medicine. My dog also has pretty bad separation anxiety. Caitlin was wonderful with him and my dog even warmed up to her after a day or so--he's usually skittish when I'm gone, so that's really saying something!”
