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: I am a devoted animal lover with a flexible schedule, bringing extensive experience in caring for and training pets. My journey with my own dog has honed my skills in puppy training and handling anxious or reactive dogs. I prioritize creating a nurturing and supportive environment where pets feel cherished and happy. I am responsible, reliable, and offer flexible rates—please feel free to ask! Working online gives me a super flexible schedule that fits pet care perfectly into my day. From midday walks to playtime and feeding, I make sure your furry friends get the love and attention they need. My availability is always up-to-date on my calendar, so you can count on me to be there whenever your pets need me! I offer personalized pet care tailored to each pet's needs. I follow your specific routines to ensure your pets get the best care, including proper feeding and exercise. I am committed to creating a comfortable, loving environment where your pets feel safe and happy. I'm always happy to discuss any special needs to ensure the best experience for everyone.
“Skyler is a gem and I would have no hesitation about booking her again. (And will!) My fur- baby recently lost her sister dog and has been stressed. Leaving for a 3-night work trip was super stressful, but the many pics of fun walks, a trip to the lake, and snuggle time made me feel completely relaxed about the care she was receiving. A+!”
“Thanks again, Sherryann for checking in on Theodore while I was away. I appreciate the great updates and pictures while I was away. I returned to a happy, healthy kitty!”
“Migle was very attentive to my dog and made sure her needs were met. She was very professional and punctual. I will definitely use her again.”
“Jamie was awesome!! My husband and I were out of the country for two weeks and Jamie kept perfect care of our two cats. We looked forward to the pictures and recap every day! So so nice and helpful - highly recommend to anyone whether for a short or long trip away!”
“She is very friendly and took great care of my cat while I was away! Even though my cat can be a pain to get pictures of I still got one every check-in”
About: I’ve cared for many dogs and some cats in my life. I grew up in East TN with tons of animals running around and am comfortable with the chaos that brings. I have a small dog of my own, Jack, who loves to play with other dogs of all sizes. I’m a creative working part-time and I have a fairly flexible schedule during the week. When I am working, I’m working from home and on site for a few hours two days a week. I have a fenced in backyard and a medium sized crate available for use. Dogs are allowed on the furniture in my house and I have lots of chew toys!
“Roxanne did a good job with my Charlie, she took him outside to pee and poop. I appreciate her helping me in such short notice. I’ll book her again in the future!”
About: I have over 8 years of dog care, walking and sitting experience. No dog too big or small. Special needs dogs are my specialty! Looking forward to being your pets’ new buddy. I work part time remotely, so my schedule is pretty wide open. I always have time to take dogs on 2-4 walks a day. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings all have availability. I have a fenced yard and a dog & cat. They are both friendly and cross species trained. I let them out a few times a day, but prefer to do at least one big walk per day, whether it is to the park or on a nature walk.
“Lindsay was wonderful as always. Had to make last minute travel changes due to a death in the family and she accommodated that with no difficulty. Cats were well taken care of and I never had to worry.”
About: Hello! My given name is Rachel but I go by Gerome. It'd be an honor to take awesome care of your pets and home while you’re away. I’ve been enjoying pet and house sitting a bunch for the past 4 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 I’d 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. I love getting to know the quirks and character of each cutie, and providing care accordingly.
“Mindy is always great with Scout! I appreciate how communicative she is when she enters the home. She sends lots of pictures of Scout playing, being a goofball, and overall enjoying her company! I tell Scout “Aunty Mindy” is coming over and he quickly runs to the door to look for her.”
“Chloe is wonderful! So kind and communicative. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous, but she totally put me at ease. She agreed to a meet and greet beforehand and was so patient with my puppy. She also sent thoughtful updates with plenty of pictures and was respectful to my living space. Highly recommend, thanks, Chloe!”

“Cindy has dog sitter for my wife and I many times over the last 5 years. Duration has been between a quick visit to feed and let outside to coming over multiple times a day for a week when we were out of town. Cindy is great with animals and our late Luna (dog) really loved her. I would definitely recommend Cindy to take care of your pet(s) while you’re away. Either in a pinch or a scheduled trip, she has always been reliable and extremely pet friendly.”
8. Ulyana S.
“Ulyana is an extraordinary pet caregiver who inspires great trust and confidence in their work ethic. As a lifelong animal lover, they are passionate and dedicated when caring for a wide spectrum of furry friends. They have 5+ years of experience in caretaking and are especially gifted at navigating more difficult dog behaviors (I even recommended that they become a dog trainer because of how well they are able to adapt in challenging environments). Exceptionally patient and affectionate, Ulyana will ensure that your pet receives the tenderness, love, and energy that they need to thrive. When Ulyana took care of my home while I was on a trip, I came back to a much cleaner house than I left! The entire place was sparkling, in wondrous condition, and smelled beautiful. I highly recommend their services; I felt completely at ease and fully satisfied by this experience.”
