Safety, trust & environment

My front and rear yard are fenced, and I also own small, med, large and extra-large kennels should your floof need time away from my girls and elder gent. In my home, floofs are allowed on my furniture (vacuums and lint rollers were invented for a reason, lol). However, if they're not allowed on your furniture at home, please let me know so they don't learn naughty habits while they're with me. 😉 The only thing you'll need to provide to me is their food, medication, leash, harness, and possibly something that smells like home for them. I have a plethora of feeding bowls, potty pads (if needed), belly bands (if needed), and diapers (if needed). I also have various sized dog beds. *During Hurricane season, if your floof is in my home while you're away, and it's best to leave the city of New Orleans, I'll require your permission to transport them with me to Winona, Mississippi. My brother has property and is prepared to host myself and however many pets I'm caring for, for the duration.

Information Etta Rachelle D. would like to know about your pet

If your floofs have dietary restrictions (poultry, grain, salmon/coconut oil allergies), please inform me. Please let me know if you have special words/phrases you say to your floofs...Come see, Drop it, Up up, Sit sit, leave it, crate/kennel up, etc. Are they escape artists? If they have favorite blankets/toys, please bring them if they'll be boarding with me.

A typical day

Walking my neighborhood in Algiers Point on the Westbank is the absolute best. There's numerous smells throughout the community (kiddos, cats, restaurants). One of the best is walking along the levee, which is only a ten minute walk from my home. Each day (weather permitting), after breakfast and their morning constitutional, we have Puppy Hour on my front porch. This consists of play and/or lounging time, zoomies time and everyone gets their faces washed. 😁 On occasion, we may go on a field trip, but you'll know about this beforehand. We'll engage in arts and crafts, too!

Pet care experience

Pawsh Boarding & Daycare LLC aka Pawsh Floofs I'm known as Rachelle, but feel free to call me Etta (yes, I was named for Etta James! 😊). I've cared for my own pets and my neighbors' pets for numerous years. In grade school, I had a little pet sitting and babysitting business to earn pocket money. I currently have Ms Marylin, an 8-yr-old Akbash, Monreaux, a 2-yr-old lynx point former feral kitten (she has her own space in my home, so she's unbothered by visiting dogs), and I just took custody of a friend's elder 16-yr-old chihuahua mix, Pops, since she moved to Guatemala. Due to this, but also dependent on the situation, and my own sanity's sake, it's rare that I care for more than five/six dogs at a time (this includes my own girls and elder gent). I appreciate Senior dogs. Both of my previous babies lived to 14.5 and 16.5, respectively. Your dog will become a part of my family. I do watch dogs from different families at the same time. If you're uncomfortable with this, and/or your pet may be reactive to other dogs, there are numerous sitters who can accommodate you. ** If you're new to Rover, please use my promo code for a $20 discount at your first booking - ERACHD31066 ** I'm located on the Westbank, in Algiers Point. For those unfamiliar with New Orleans, you'll cross the Westbank/CCC bridge (Mississippi River bridge) and take exit 9B to LA-428 W to get to my home.

Etta is an exceptional person with pets . Zoe, our previous pup, had the privilege of spending many occasions with Etta. Currently, we have Coco, and Coco spent the last 21 days with Etta. Coco is deeply fond of her. The photographs and information provided during Coco and Zoe’s stay are invaluable. Etta consistently shared daily pictures and updates about Coco. I have been thoroughly at ease entrusting Coco to Etta’s care.💕

Ms Etta is incredible! Xena, my calico baby is kind, feisty, and defensive all in one. I had to drop her off last minute for friends in town and the reply to take her in was prompt and professional. Ms. Etta was very kind all throughout the stay, sent constant updates, and made me feel at peace. Xena was very defensive and a little fearful, this being her first time away from me and away from her home, she gave Ms. Etta a hard time (and a bite) but she handled it like a pro. Star sitter is an understatement. Rockstar human is more like it.
