Dog Boarding in Marrero

Our home is spacious and free of clutter and hazards. We often volunteer with local animal rescue groups. Because we live very close (approximately 5 miles away) to the New Orleans International Airport, you can conveniently drop off and pick up your furbaby right from the airport. If you would like to visit with your pup while you are on vacation, please feel free to contact us to arrange this. We are willing to accommodate all ages, great and small. If your baby requires medication (pills, liquids or injections), we can administer it to them. We've cared for pups who are blind, deaf, incontinent, anxious, and those with few or no teeth. We frequently take walks in the French Quarter and around town visiting dog friendly sites such as dog parks, the Bulldog, and Lucy's restaurant where they have a special doggy menu. Lafreniere Park, literally located across the street, has a beautiful fenced dog park.

I specialize in pet photography out of my home studio which I am pleased to share with my clients. All photos are of studio quality and nothing less because I take great pride in my work. I send professional portraits of your furbaby which require much time to prepare, but the wait is well worth it. You will be given a link to their portfolio from which you will be able to upload all of the images and do with them what you will.

Meet my pets

Canines:

McKenzie: 6 year old, Chihuahua/Terrier mix

Marigny: 4 year old Brussels Griffon/Chihuahua mix

About my yard:

We have a completely fenced-in medium sized backyard. The turf includes synthetic grass and concrete.

I love animals. I understand dogs. I am patient and kind to them. I will play with them, walk them, I do not believe in hitting or frightening dogs. I believe that kindness is far more rewarding than cruelty. I allow doggies in bed as they are social animals and enjoy company. They will be fed at the times indicated by the owners and I will follow the dog's daily routine as close as I can to the home routine. I am always checking on the needs on the dog to insure that the needs are met and prevent any anxiety for the dogs. If the dog needs medication, I will insure to follow the vet's indications and give medication in a timely manner. I love dogs!

DOG WALKS, HOUSE SITS, AND HOME VISITS, OH MY!

You have probably seen me walking a dog or two on the streets of uptown! While in my care your pup will be able to walk as much or as little as he or she wants in our 30-minute window. The poop is always scooped and your neighbors' landscaping is always respected. My furry assistant Elf may accompany me with your approval, but we realize some dogs prefer the solo walk. I try to be flexible, so do not hesitate to contact me if your schedule varies week to week or if you are in dire straits and need a last minute walk.

Does your puppy need a mid day (or more) break while you're away? No problem! Puppies can be a lot of work, but I love encouraging and comforting them while we discover the great outdoors and how to dog. Please let me know of any training you are working on so I can be sure to be consistent with him or her. One of my favorite parts of this job is getting to know puppies and young dogs and seeing them grow and mature.

Additionally I am available for home visits (drop-ins) for dogs, cats, rabbits, and even birds. I can administer insulin injections, medications, and even act as a human taxi up and down the stairs for the less mobile pets. (Note: The Rover Guarantee only covers dogs and cats)

As your house sitter I move in to your home for the duration of your booking - no additional fees for mid day walks! If your pup(s) enjoys the company of other dogs Elf would love to accompany me, but with enough notice I can make other arrangements for him.

I service a five mile driving service area from my home in the Lower Garden District. Requests outside this service area will be considered on a case-by-case basis for an additional fee. Clients in the CBD, Warehouse District, and French Quarter are subject to parking fees when applicable or should be prepared to provide parking.

Please check out my 300+ reviews. I can also provide references upon request. Additionally, you can follow our adventures on Instagram via @noladogsitter .

About my assistant Elf:

Elf has been in the dog sitting business since he was a puppy. As a youngster he enjoyed making new friends, slumber parties, wrestling, playing tug, and snuggling with others. As he's gotten older he has become very walk and fetch focused, but will still play with the youngsters with a little prodding. Elf can be very protective of his smaller friends and quick to judge young, male dogs who are bigger than him. What kind of dog is Elf? Your guess is as good as mine! When adopted he was said to be a dachshund mix. He is definitely long and low, but weighs in at a solid 40 pounds. Elf is not a fan of cats, is very interested in babies, but a little freaked out by small, mobile, loud children.

Meet my pets

we have 1 dog.

Hi! My dog Wilson and I live near City Park, in a traditional shotgun home, with a full fenced yard. If your dog enjoys activities like running around the yard, dog wrestling, snoozing on the porch, sniffing new stuff at City Park, and taking refreshing couch naps, Wilson would love to host them in his kickin' dog pad. If you've got a supersized pup, a barker, door-dasher or your doggo gets nervous in new places - don't worry! We can handle that. Your pup has to wear a cone for a bit or needs some quiet medical recovery time and their own space? We got you! We've got experience and we welcome you and your dog with open arms!

Wilson is a pretty boisterous boy, who absolutely adores having new dogs over to visit and enjoys sharing his toys, his couch, and generally letting guest dogs have all of his favorite things. I also foster dogs for a local New Orleans adoption group, and enjoy the heck out of it! Because I have fosters on occasion, I have a large crate, so if your dog prefers the comfort of a crate during the day or at night, we can easily accommodate those needs. Expect plenty of pictures of your dog enjoy their stay with us!

I'm a legal professional, with a very set schedule, so I'm almost always home around 4:30 each day, in addition to running home during the lunch hour on most days, ready to referee some dog wrestling practice. My boyfriend, Jared, lives with me and assists with our guest doggos and puppers. He also has a flexible schedule and is often home hanging with the gang while I'm at work. I own my home and my yard, which is fully fenced and secure for outdoor adventures!

If it sounds like your dog and mine could be BFFs, let's get together! We'd love to say hello!

Dogs are unselfish..until it comes to toys. They like love..one on one. They like music and to run and play...very important. They need to be protected from the outside world..meaning cars and other dogs. My history is easy to describe...they are like children. I have no children. I hang with dogs. I live in Lakeview a great community of people....Check me out with my dog. Smile. I am also a dog trainer. I also introduce new pups to new homes. I volunteer at the SPCA here in New Orleans. I am home all the time. Your pup is never alone. We do go to a private dog park that has a small park and a large park. Bring you baby over for a visit and a meet and greet.

My name is Kate and I used to be an emergency vet tech. I switched over to human patients and pretty much all the time miss interacting with other people's animals!

I am available pretty much any time and I can dogsit at your place or mine, depending on what your needs are. I can handle "special needs" dogs, be they physical or emotional and can make sure your pet gets any needed medications. I have my own reliable transportation to assist with meeting your needs.

I can help with kitties too!

Why I love dog sitting

I can not remember a time when I didn't love dogs. As a kid, I roamed my neighborhood and walked many of my neighbors' dogs every day. For a long time, most of my friends were people I had met through their dogs. I worked for awhile as a groomer and then worked as a vet tech for eight years before moving to human medicine.

My experience administering medication:

I am, even with difficult dogs who hate getting medicated. I have years of experience doing this as a vet tech.

We are a family that LOVES dogs and has been caring for our own and our friends' dogs for years. Life is good for dogs at our house. We have a big backyard and we allow dogs on the furniture - laps preferred! Our own dog, Cassie, loves having canine company and will gladly show new friends the ropes. Although both adults in the home work, we have alternating schedules and a 16-year old in the house, so many days someone is home much of the day.

We have LOTS of husky experience! We shared our home with Princess Nikita (a rescue) for a dozen years so we are well versed with these Houdini dogs. We know to watch open doors and do not let them alone in a yard (if you want them to remain in the yard). We offer this up because we KNOW how hard it is to feel comfortable with leaving a husky with someone!

We can no longer accept un-neutered male dogs.

We specialize in dog boarding, so drop-in visits are only available on a very limited basis.

Why I love dog sitting

I've been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, and I've had dogs almost all of my life with the exception of short grieving periods in between. Life just doesn't seem right without dogs around.

Meet my pets

Our dog - Cassie. She is a hound mix, nearly 5 years old and about 50 solid pounds. She loves to bark, but she also loves to make new friends.

About my yard

We have a large fenced in backyard. Lots of open space, with bushes and shrubbery to run under along the perimeter.

My experience administering medication

Yes, but I'd like to know how well/how easily they take the meds in advance to be prepared.

Walks with me are not around the block, do your business and lets go... We go out and see what's going on in the world, explore, exercise and have some fun. I have a large pet friendly home and since I work from home I have an open schedule. I am flexible, communicative, patient and enjoy caring for pets throughout my day. As an animal lover, I am very attentive to the care, safety and overall happiness of pets under my care. I always look forward to getting out daily, visiting green spaces, dog parks, walks around city blocks and other outings.
