Availability
Our schedule is very flexible, which allows us to accommodate a wide variety of pets’ routines. One of us works remotely, so we’re often available throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, meals, playtime, and companionship. For house sitting, we do our best to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and bedtime habits. We understand that consistency helps pets feel comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet is an early riser, enjoys multiple walks a day, or simply loves having someone nearby for company, we’re happy to tailor our care to their individual needs. We’ll also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing they’re happy and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets, our goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. We’ll follow your instructions closely—from feeding schedules and medications to favorite walking routes, playtime, and bedtime routines. We know every pet is different, and we take the time to learn what makes them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Our rescue dog, Jessie, absolutely loves making new dog friends and is very social! If you’re interested, we’re happy to bring her along for walks or playdates to provide your pup with some extra companionship. That said, we completely respect that not every dog enjoys other dogs or may simply prefer their own space. We’ll always follow your preferences and your pet’s comfort level, and Jessie will only join us if it’s something you specifically want. Above all, we treat every pet as if they were our own and every home with the utmost care and respect.

Information Britt & James L. would like to know about your pet
To make sure everyone is safe, comfortable, and happy — we ask that dogs we care for: • Do not have a history of aggression toward people or dogs • Are up-to-date on vaccinations and flea prevention • Are house-trained (or that you clearly communicate any accidents or special needs) • Can be safely walked on leash We especially appreciate knowing: • Your dog’s energy level and daily routine • How they do with new environments • Any anxieties, triggers, or quirks • Medication needs or mobility concerns Your insight helps us provide the best care possible — we’re here to support your dog just like you would!
A typical day
Every dog is different, so we try to match their energy and personality. For playful pups, that might mean tug-of-war, fetch in the yard, or puzzle toys inside. For more mellow or senior dogs, we’re all about neighborhood strolls, gentle enrichment, and lots of cozy cuddle time. We love getting to know each dog’s quirks and preferences — whether that’s sunbathing in the yard, curling up on the couch, or following us from room to room like a little shadow. If your dog has favorite games or routines, we’ll do our best to make them feel at home and keep their tail wagging!

Patient, Experienced Care 🐾
Pet care experience
Hi! We’re Britt & James, and we’d love to care for your pets while you’re away. We’re animal lovers with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. Britt previously worked in Community Outreach at the Louisiana SPCA, coordinating community programs while also fostering and caring for rescue animals. Together, we’ve spent years pet sitting through Rover and caring for friends’ and family’s pets, as well as pets of our own. Our biggest teacher has been our own rescue pup, Jessie. Since adopting her, we’ve learned firsthand how important patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s individual personality can be. Watching her grow into a confident, adventurous companion has only strengthened our love for caring for animals. We recently relocated to Durango for the Summer/Fall and are excited to meet fellow pet lovers in the community! While we’re not offering boarding in our home, we’re currently available for: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • House sitting • Puppy care • Senior pet care • Medication administration (oral medications) Whether your dog wants a hike, a stroll through the neighborhood, a game of fetch, or just someone to keep them company while you’re away, we’re happy to tailor every visit to their routine and personality. We know that every pet is different, and we take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe and comfortable. One of us works remotely, which means we’re often able to provide flexible scheduling and, during house sits, more companionship than many sitters can offer. We pride ourselves on being dependable, communicative, and treating every home and pet with the same care we give our own. You’ll receive plenty of photo updates, thoughtful communication, and the peace of mind that your furry family member is in caring, capable hands. We can’t wait to meet you and your pets!
Reviews
Great communication and very easy drop off and pick up. I felt confident Lyla was in good hands and picked up a very happy dog at the end of her stay. Would definitely use again:)
Britt & James were great! Timely communication and handled Rita’s medications with ease. Will definitely use them again next time I’m in the New Orleans area!
Britt and James were excellent dog sitters. It was easy communicating with them. They are on the top of the list and we will use their services in the future.
Britt and James were fantastic - Rocky loved them so much, she didn't want to leave. We will definitely book with them again!
