Dog-whisperer and Pet Photographer
Pet care experience
My name is Hope, my mother and Rover call me Martha, but my repeat clients call me “Auntie Hope,” —whichever you prefer. I sit and walk dogs in New Orleans (6+ YRS). Experience with most domestic animals; avian, mammal or not. I prefer to sit dogs in other people's homes, and can tend to other animals (cats, birds, reptiles) also. Services include boarding (in owner's home), weekend overnight sitting (in owner's home), and weekend daycare. I'm pretty good about my dog portraits, too! Looking forward to meeting you and your furry, feathery, or reptilian friend! Please see my recommendations from past, repeat clients. It’s no wonder they consider me “Auntie Hope” to their furry children. RECOMMENDATIONS "I have known Ms. Hope Byrd for over three years. During that time she has been a trustworthy friend. She has also aided my family as a reliable and responsible house-sitter and pet-sitter. "
Reviews
Hope was very good with Jolie. She sent updated pictures and I could see Jolie was happy in her environment. Would definitely make reservations with her again.
Hope is seriously like the Dog Whisperer! We absolutely loved having her watch our Border Collie and our shitzu. One is a tiny terror and the other has separation anxiety, but Hope immediately made them feel calm, sent us great updates and photos, and we want to make her a regular part of their furry little lives.
Hope (the dog whisperer) was very sweet, courteous, punctual, and responsible with our two fur friends. They immediately took to her kind personality, and we plan on using her many times in the future. :)
Hope made our first experience with DogVacay wonderful! She stayed in our home with our three big (and spoiled) pups and they seemed much happier than being kenneled for 5 days! She was easy to work with and sent lots of pictures while we were away. We are excited to have found Hope and look forward to using her again in the future.

Information Martha B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know any special care instructions for your dog/pet before sitting them. I’m happy to administer any medicine or go the extra mile to make sure your pet is comfortable and happy. We’ll discuss details over our meet-and-greet.
A typical day
Your dog and I will be taking many walks! If I feel cooped up in my new, small studio apartment, I know they will too. Luckily the Lafitte Greenway is a block away from me! This will be our main pastime.
