Don't be bound by guilt when you're away from home

Pet care experience

Let your furry children stay in the comfort of a home with New Orleans own Pet Whisperer! I am a licensed, insured and bonded professional pet-sitter and dog-walker. I am pet CPR and first-aid certified. I have worked on a variety of animals and have grown up among them. Therefore, pets are my passion. I started Homeward Bound Services because I know our relationship with our pets is one of the most important ones in our lives. That's why all my services come with a worry-free guarantee. Each visit comes with a picture and an update that's texted or emailed to you! I also offer webcam and Face time capabilities! You will see their happy faces while you're still away! Usually my clients complain about their pets not missing them enough when they get home! This service is available for well-mannered pets that are house-trained, social and healthy. This will include two 30-minute walk for dogs and/or play time for other pets; poop, cage, and/or litter box clean up, fresh food and water, administer medications, if needed; and lots of loving care. Your dogs will be staying in a 3 bedroom suburban home. They will have full reign of the home and will have some comfortable places to sleep or to play. I also offer a huge fenced-in yard. However, my preference is to take your pooch out for at least two walks around the neighborhood. Your dog will love his new home away from home! I can accommodate up to 5 dogs. Please note this service requires a "sniff and greet" visit. The "sniff-and-greet" must be booked at least 48 hours before the first day of the scheduled visit About this sitter: Don't board your pet in an unfamiliar place and worry about them while you're away! Let your furry children stay in the comfort of their own home with someone who will care for them like their own! Even the best kennels can be an extremely stressful environment for animals that are used to being the king or queens of their domain. Don't take them out of their comfort zone. They will be separated from family, have limited daily contact and affection, off their feeding routine and surrounded by unfamiliar sights, smells and sounds. I am a licensed, insured and bonded professional pet-sitter and dog-walker with years of experience volunteering at local animal shelters. I have always had a variety of animals growing up so am very versed in everything animal-related. I do this because I love animals and understand how scary it can be when you have to leave your home and loved ones with strangers. I guarantee your animals and home will be in great hands! I'm the only professional pet-sitter in New Orleans who offers a worry-free guarantee. I offer it, because I know leave home and worry about what's going on there. I don't want any of my clients to do the same thing, so I created my own business. Homeward Bound is my life and life mission. Why I love dog sitting All my life. I grew up with animals and firmly believe that a home isn't a home without an animal. I have had a dog since 12 and have been grateful ever since. Meet my pets They may share the space with two small dogs- Chihuahua/terrier mix and a shih-tzu. Both are 12 lbs., very sweet and friendly. When you contact me, I will inform you if they will be home. About my yard Large, fenced-in backyard that is the perfect space for dogs to run and lounge around. It's an open field for some great Frisbee or ball-tossing games. There are also lots of birds and squirrels living nearby so the dogs will thoroughly enjoy being out there. My experience administering medication Pet First-Aid and CPR certified. After two years in business, specializing in special-needs animals, I've seen it all.

May is personable and helpful. She truly cares about the animals she cares for and Taylor had a very relaxing evening while Mom and Dad went out.

My name is Christina and I have known May for about 5 years. As long as I've known her she's been an animal lover......not just certain animals but All animals. She has owned all different kinds of pets like rabbits, cats and dogs. My husband and I would often travel and May would volunteer to petsit our 2 cats (they are a handfull!!). We would come home to find our cats had been loved and well taken care of by Aunt May. I have one cat who is very difficult and doesn't like many people, but she LOVES May.......maybe because she has a great heart......animals are good at picking up on things like that :D May has experienced the loss of many pets but still seems to keep an open heart when she meets a new animal. I don't know anyone else who would take such great care of your pet like May would. She's still my #1 pet sitter! (My cats Panda and Caesar give her their paw stamp of approval!)
