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.

Boarding • Jun 30, 2026

My wife and I took a last minute trip to New Orleans over the weekend while traveling with our corgi. We hadn't planned for boarding but reached out to Michael with a late request. Michael agreed and was great communicating his availablity and options for caring for Kosmo. Michael was very welcoming and took great care of Kosmo. Michael was very communicative during Kosmo's visit and sent pics during his stay. Many thanks as this allowed us flexibility to explore the city!

Michael was lovely, flexible and a great sitter. My dog gets very upset when I leave her anywhere but she was just fine with Michael. He's a five star.

Michael is the best. Took great care of our furbaby Trixie. Was very flexible on the hours and easy to work with. If we are ever back in New Orleans we will definitely use Michael to watch Trixie.
