Pet care experience

LOVED & PAMPERED when staying here.

I have a 200 yr old Historic Pied a Terre style Home with a Private Tropical Courtyard only 1 block from Jackson Square, It's conveniently located in the middle of The French Quarter for Neighbors in the French Qtr and Hotel Guests nearby, needing a close, private, secure Vacation Spa Retreat for your Dog..I'm nestled, securely & quietly behind the taller buildings on the street, so it's noise free. There are always 3 locked doorways between your dog & my street door, so your dog is always safe..with no way of getting out. I specialize in smaller dogs & connect well with the aged & special needs. I do not have guests in, when your dog is in my care. This is an alcohol & smoke free environment. About this sitter: I’m a Dog Lover & have had Dogs all my life. I can prep special meals, administer medication & follow detailed Instructions. It would be a pleasure to spend personal time Hosting, Pampering & Photographing your dog as well.

Michael was an absolute lifesaver when I needed somewhere for my dog to stay. He was incredibly kind, communicative, and took wonderful care of my girl. Highly recommend!

Michael was caring and responsible toward Bella rose during her trip to the Quarter, when mom needed to go to work. We’ll be back for sure!

This was our mini schnauzer's first time staying away from home without known family being there. Michael did a fantastic job making Sam feel safe and cared. I appreciate the care you provided.

Michael is a kind and communicative sitter. He took such great care of my dog Roland and I could tell he was very excited to go back a second time. He looks forward to spending more time with him. Thank you :)
