“Amanda had walked our dog Greta a few times. She is very professional and I love her updates. Greta is always nice and worn out when I get home so know she enjoys them!”
About: I’ve had pets my whole life growing up! I got my first on cat (Katniss) as a freshman in college, and she is now 12 years old and thriving well! I got my first dog (Albus) the next year and he is a 106 pounds black lab who is also doing very well. I am a teacher so I am off from June-July 20 all day, every day. I can show up on short notice and stay for extended periods if needed! My schedule for the next 2 months is extremely flexible, and I’m willing to work with your schedule as well! I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I’m very experienced caring for multiple pets in a home environment. I have a condo in Metairie a block from the levee where I can take a dog on a good walk, and my parents house in mandeville with a fenced yard where pets can safely play and get fresh air. I can easily crate your dog or cat if needed, follow any specific feeding, medication, or routine instructions, and provide plenty of love, attention, and enrichment. Whether the service is at my home or yours, my goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
About: I have always lived with dogs since I was a small child. The last 8 years I have been house/dog sitting for a retired couple with multiple dogs. This past May I lost my 16 year old rat terrier- broke my heart. Shortly after a relative asked me to keep his chocolate lab for a week and I loved it. I miss having a dog at the house! I work full time currently from home until COVID pandemic is over. My office is 10 minutes away from home- lunch visits to the house would be made on days needed. I own my own home with a fenced in yard next door to a empty lot. I have no children do it would be just me at the house.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a kid, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with senior and younger pets. I cared for my own dog in her later years when she developed back leg problems. I helped her move around the house, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her lots of love and patience every day. I additionally took care of my other dog in her early months waking up multiple times nightly to calm her down. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m confident in handling all kinds of needs. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, so I’m able to care for pets whenever needed. Pet care easily fits my routine, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pets specific needs and schedule.your pets comfort and routine will always come first. I believe pets are most comfortable and relaxed in their own home, which is why I only offer care in the clients space. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect in return. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs, so I know how to be gentle and attentive to the pets I look after. I love learning each animal’s unique personality! I work full time but I am available on week days 6am-8am and ........pm. Available anytime on weekends. Overnights are case-by-case basis. I’m punctual, reliable, and follow directions very well. I appreciate communication and have no issues sending pet updates while you’re away... I’m trustworthy and will care about your pets and home while you’re away.
“Julia was wonderful when caring for our dog Freya! Our girl is very shy and nervous around strangers and Julia helped her to feel more comfortable and less anxious.

About: Hi! My name is Lily, and I am an incoming college student with a very flexible schedule during the summer. I have previously owned two dogs and have always enjoyed being around animals. While I don’t currently own any pets, I am the oldest of five children and have years of experience caring for children ages 1–12, which has given me responsibility and attention to detail. I am active, dependable, and happy to follow detailed instructions to ensure your pet’s safety. I enjoy being outdoors and would love to spend time walking and caring for your pets. I am currently free for the summer and have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets. I am available most weekdays and can often accommodate weekends as well. I will always follow your pet’s care instructions closely to help them feel comfortable and safe. I understand the importance of keeping pets secure, providing fresh food and water, ensuring they get exercise and attention, and keeping owners updated while they are away. I am respectful of clients’ homes and committed to creating a safe environment for your pets.
About: I have been around animals all my life, and I have had pets for as long as I can remember. Whenever a family member fosters either a dog or cat I am the first one to help out. I have helped out with kittens and puppies as young as 3 days old! I am a college student that is majoring in biology. When I am home I have lots of free time and would love to help out with any pet needs. I go to Millsaps College in Jackson, MS and I am a little busier, but im still happy to help whenever I can! I am a biology major with a focus in animal studies. Because of that I am around all sorts of animals all the time for class. When I am home I am still around animals all the time, and I love helping take care of them. When I'm home from school I love helping my mom walk the dogs!
About: As a pet sitter and dog owner, I’m intentional about how I care for every pet because they are truly family. Along with my dog experience, I also spent two years cat sitting, providing check-ins, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and giving comfort and attention. I have experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I focus on meeting each one where they are to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve owned three dogs and lived with several others, giving me hands-on experience with daily care routines. I’m comfortable feeding, refreshing water, administering medications (pills, ear cleaning, ointments), and providing both short and long walks, along with playtime tailored to your dog’s needs. In my last two years caring for senior dogs, I learned the importance of patience and adaptability—whether that meant slower walks, cleaning up accidents, or providing gentle muscle massages to keep them comfortable. I also have experience recognizing and responding to emergencies, such as reverse sneezing and muscle strains, and I act quickly to seek veterinary care when needed. You can count on me to follow detailed instructions closely and provide thoughtful, reliable care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am a full-time graduate student with a flexible schedule outside of my required classes. I am available on weekends, Wednesdays, and Fridays, as well as most mornings and evenings throughout the week. I provide care in my client’s home to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their routine. I communicate with owners beforehand to understand each pet’s needs and follow all instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, playtime, and clean-up. I adjust to each pet’s behavior and energy level to ensure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have had two rowdy dogs for ten years now. My family adopted them as puppies and have adapted our house to give them an indoor-outdoor living area. One of my dogs is very anxious and afraid of men, she finds comfort in me most, and with time I have helped her combat this anxiety with gentle and repetitive exposure to her fears. We rescued a kitten five years ago and integrated him into our house with the dogs. I walk my dogs every day and use good leash manners. I also take care of my friends' dog and cats when they're away on vacation, giving me experience with pets of varying personalities. I am currently at home for summer break. I have free time most days to take care of people's pets besides 2.5 weeks of a summer camp job and a short vacation. I respond and communicate my availability quickly and clearly to ensure that pet owners get the help that they need. I will follow the instructions provided to me that I agree to. On top of this, I will ensure that I stick to the pets' training and will do my best to prevent accidents caused by the pet.

Jennifer dodges rainstorms, braves the humidity and adapts to life’s surprises without blinking an eye. The level of service provided along with a joyous demeanor is compelling. She is a staple in our routine that we hope continues for the foreseeable future. Thank you!
Mallory was great and most importantly, my dog thought so too! We were visiting New Orleans from out of town and a bit leary about leaving our boxer in a strange place with strange people. Mallory responded quickly to my somewhat last minute request for a 3 day dog walking booking during jazz fest. She even came for a pre-visit meet and greet. She sent us photos and updates of her visits, and offered flexibility on her times. This is my first time using Rover and Mallory made it an amazing experience. I would absolutely call her again and again and again! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 5/5 PAW Rating!
I had a great experience Sara. She was punctual and communicated really well, so I always knew what was going on. Also, she took amazing photos like seriously, the pictures were so good I couldn’t believe it. My dog absolutely loved her and now she’s basically my dog’s new best friend. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, friendly, and genuinely good with dogs.
Margarida is so wonderful! She is always willing to go the extra step to help us with caring for Bennie. As a busy mom with three kids and changing schedules, I am so grateful for Margarida’s flexibility and grace when we need to change plans. Bennie loves her and she is a huge help for our family!
