Pet Sitting Lower Garden District

“Daphne cared for our 16 year old cat for 9 days while we were out of the country. We received detailed updates and pictures twice a day. It was clear that she made a real effort to coax our elderly cat to eat, spent time just sitting with her on her lap,and making her feel "tended to". She also had no problem administering several medications that she takes, and seemed very competent and knowledgeable. She volunteered to take out our trash bins, and turned on and off our porch lights. Daphne is mature and able to handle any pet or home situation, she communicates effectively, and I would not hesitate to use her again.”

“Deana was great with Fenn, like always. She kept clear communication and even troubleshooted a small issue with me over text. Can’t ask for a better pet sitter than her.”

Christie P.

“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!”

Michael W.

“Kelly watched my two dogs this past weekend and did a fantastic job! She sent me pictures and updates about them each time she came over. She went above and beyond for my babies, and I will definitely use her again when I go out of town!”

Morgan D.

“Ebony is awesome! So grateful she was able to care for our boy while we're away. Ebony was flexible and able to accommodate our last minute request and changes in our travel. I will definitely book Ebony again.”

“Angela provided excellent care for Lola. She is highly professional, with excellent communication, and an obviously passionate dog person. Highly recommend.”

Ben K.

“Caitlin is great with our cat, Lola. Lola can be nervous at times but she always looks forward to seeing Caitlin. Caitlin is reliable and always provides detailed updates about Lola.”

Andrea C.

“Scott was really great -- personable, conscientious, and so reliable. He understood exactly what we wanted, and what our dog needed, and he clearly loves what he does. So glad to have Scott as our go-to dog sitter!”

“Robin is phenomenal! My cat absolutely adores her. She did such a great job with my little man for a week, visiting 2x per day. It felt great knowing he was in such great hands. She’s incredibly communicative, a great photographer 😻, and kept my place sparkling. I’m so grateful for her and will absolutely plan on having her back when I’m out of town next. Thank you, Robin! ❤️”

Lindsey V.

“Did a great job caring for our cats! Very responsible and respectful and great communication!”

Tina R.

“Christina is the best! I know that three dogs can intimidate most people but her gentle and understanding attitude put my babies at ease instantly upon meeting. 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.”

Kataya U.

“Highly recommend Cortney for any drop-in needs! She checked in on our kitten while we were out of town over three days, and did a wonderful job keeping us updated, sharing pictures, etc. She is a great communicator, trustworthy, and very thoughtful in her messages. We will use her again in the future!”

“I could be the luckiest guy, who has a cat he loves very much, to have found Abbie as a sitter while I took a sabbatical. My biggest anxiety was leaving Hugo behind for a month. When I met up with Abbie for our meet and greet, I knew he would be in good hands, and much of my anxiety faded as we we talked. She communicated everyday, and my cat had to love the attention he got from her, even if his dad was nowhere to be found (he was very happy to see me when I got back). If you have cats that you love dearly, I do not know how you could do any better, at all, than to engage and hire Abbie to help you out. She is genuine and heartfelt in her approach, and I was asking a lot for a person to spend a month looking in on a beloved pet. I simply can not say enough in terms of the positive of my experience in hiring her, and I recommend her highly. On behalf of myself and Hugo, thank you Abbie!”

“Laura took great care of our two older cats while we were out of town and was very accommodating of their unique quirks and special care requirements. Thank you, Laura!”

About: Looking for someone responsible with plenty of experience to handle emergency situations if they are to arise? I've been a veterinarian technician for 8 years (currently working as a vet tech at a clinic in town) and love animals. I'm able to handle dogs bigger than myself and provide excellent care. Is your furbaby on medications? Does he/she require special care? I know many techniques and proper handling skills needed for any medical issue. Im very caring and want you to feel at ease when youre not at home. If you'd like photos of your pet while you're away, I'm more than happy to text so you can see their cute face :) I do offer baths with nail clipping and anal gland expression for additional fee. I cannot bathe large fluffy breeds simply do to the fact that they won't dry properly but I will still do nails and anal glands aso long as they're not aggresive. I am currently waiting for my new clinic to open later in September so my schedule is open for your pet's needs. Then my schedule with be over nights from 10pm to 6am certain days. I am happy to do a meet and greet and discuss needs. I can stay at your house or do do ins. I don't rush any nervous animals so I like to let them come to me. All I need is a list and no problem!

About: Animals have been part of my life since before I can remember — one of my earliest memories is our Bernese Mountain Dog happily dragging me down the block. I've kept animals close ever since, so I've got real, hands-on experience with pets at every life stage, from housebreaking a new puppy to helping an arthritic senior get comfortable on the stairs. Friends have been handing me their dogs for years too — weekend trips, last-minute favors — so caring for someone else's pet like my own isn't new territory for me. I offer drop-in visits and house sitting, and however we're spending time together, my goal is the same: keep your pet's routine as close to normal as possible. Animals feel safest when their world doesn't change while you're away — same walk times, same feeding schedule, same bedtime ritual — so I take the time to learn what "normal" looks like for yours specifically. These days I share my home with two rescue cats — Cucumber, an 8-lb grumpy old man who insists on being called "a good boy," and Daisy, his partner in running the household — and Jeffrey, a sweet Blue Heeler mix with plenty of opinions to bark about. Expect photo and video updates throughout our time together, plus extra playtime worked in whenever your pet's up for it. Every animal is different, and I take the time to read their cues and meet them where they're at. Some want a full-on wrestling match, others just want quiet company. There's no better feeling than when an animal decides you're good people. My weekdays are anchored around an office schedule, with an hour lunch break free for a midday check-in when it fits, a nice bonus for pets who need a little extra attention during the day. Mon-Weds I'm in the office; Thurs and Fri vary week to week, but I can typically work remotely (just ask, and I'll confirm based on my schedule). All evenings and weekends are open for pet care. I try to keep a consistent routine so I can offer reliable, dependable care around your pet's needs. Most of my care happens in your home, with drop-in visits and overnight house sitting, so I start by getting a feel for your routines, your entry points, and any house rules that matter to you. From there, I just stick close to what you've told me: feeding on schedule, walks or playtime as usual, doors and gates checked every time I'm in and out. Mostly it comes down to paying attention to your pet, your space, and anything that seems off

“Danielle watched our dog Finley while we were away on spring break. We both felt immediately comfortable with her on our first visit. He was very well cared for. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”

Melanie W.

“Great sitter.”

“From Day One, Elizabeth has been a godsend for us! Maggie is our fur-baby and it's great to know that she is so well cared for! Elizabeth even came to meet us and Maggie prior to booking a formal appointment so that we could talk and get to know each other. She is the BEST!!”

About: Growing up with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs, I have a wide array of pet care experience for animal friends large and small. Frequent dogwalker and pet-sitter with extensive knowledge of care practices. I am a remote worker and student in my day-to-day life, so I can frequently care for pets in my off-time in between classes and while working at home. I will be open in my communication about any issues or special needs that pets will need and trust that clients will communicate any special needs to me.
