“Ellen is fabulous and went far above and beyond to care for my German Shepherd puppy during an acute medical crisis. She is caring and flexible and she provided frequent updates and progress 'reports'. I was lucky and grateful to find her as was Cocoa!”

She shared many pictures with me of my babies and you could tell that they were comfortable and happy with her company. I would highly recommend her.”

About: I will talk and sing with animals. Animals are the best judge of character so I make sure I’m always paying attention to their needs and energy. I know when to play and I know when to be calm for them. I have a day job in mid city, but I do have hour lunch breaks. It’s very centrally located. I also am a night owl so I am available most nights. I live in the bywater area so I don’t mind traveling to where I need to go. If it is a client’s home. I stick to the rules and requests that are made for me. I enjoy walking animals or playing in one’s backyard with them.

About: If you’re looking for someone who will love your pets like they’re my own, you’ve come to the right place! I have over 3 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—from playful puppies to energetic large breeds and lovable little companions. Animals have always held a special place in my heart. I even volunteered with an SPCA camp for several days and still enjoy spending some of my free time around animals whenever I can. Being able to care for pets brings me so much joy, and knowing they’re happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away means everything to me. I’m also a proud dog mom to a male Yorkie and a female Toy Poodle, so I understand the patience, attention, and daily care that pets need to thrive. Along with caring for my own dogs, I’ve also pet sat for friends and family on multiple occasions, giving me experience with a variety of temperaments and routines. When your pet is with me, they’ll receive lots of love, attention, playtime, belly rubs, and personalized care. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their personality and needs to make sure they feel happy and secure. pet care can always fit into my daily routine! I work 4am-12pm but i’m always available after those times i’m a very flexible person and always free Sunday’s and Mondays! I always treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. In my client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. That includes feeding them on schedule, providing fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of love and attention. I also keep the home clean, send regular photo updates, and make sure pets are safe! I’ll stay close to my phone incase of emergencies and i’ll make sure your pet is loved and cared for!

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: 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: *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: Every time I'm sitting for a dog I love to take them to the park and play, nap, eat treats! I'm very in tune with different personalities and take that into consideration with how to communicate with your dog. I'm very flexible with schedules and am always free during the daytime. The reason I am interested in pet sitting and walking is because I am not able to have my own furry friend but love doggies. When you choose me as your pet sitter I can handle anything you need; puppies, teen dogs, and senior pups so giving medicine isn't an issue but if something is wrong I know to call the vet as well as you. I am also open to overnights and long stays.

Caitlin was reliable and efficient in checking in on my cat, Lana, while I was traveling for a few days. She gave her dinner, managed all the necessities (litter, water, etc.), and provided pets and cuddles every time she visited, which is what Lana really cares about! Besides being reliable, Caitlin provided great recaps of her visits with Lana, with plenty of pictures and updates on how she was doing, which I looked forward to every night. 10/10 would book again!

Amanda is an amazing cat mom to my very old (18), very needy (diabetic!) kitty cat. I come home to a clean home and happy cat. She also looks after my two half-feral outside cats. She is a great communicator and sends pics of my cuties daily. Highly recommend Amanda!

Angela cat-sat for us for a long weekend and did a great job with our cat. He's only been with us for about 1.5 months, so his routine can be a little tricky. She accommodated him wonderfully, and he appeared very happy when we returned.

Gerome's natural ability to commune with animals was present during both drop off and pick up of my cat. I returned to find my selective/discerning sweet pea snuggled up with her pet sitter in a relaxed and trusting pose. She did not want to come back with me! I will choose Gerome in the future to care for my love. Gerome was highly communicative during my time away from my cat. She sent me many photo updates, which allowed me to feel at ease during our separation.
