House Sitting Mid-City

About: I've never known life without animals! I've been responsible for pets from a very young age: from gerbils, to cats and dogs, to squirrels and goats, my circle of friends and family have always committed open homes and hearts to furry friends. Every stage of life, every shade of personality, I resolve to provide love, care and accountability. My personal dedication is boosted to professional assurance, as I am a long term caretaker at Mid City Animal House Daycare and Boarding. My part time work schedule is flexible, and I'm almost always in pet care mode since it's what I do! I am available for most services, from dog walking to house sitting, and if your pets would be good roomies with my pets, I am open to boarding on a case-by-case basis! I am comfortable caring for multiple animals at once, and following owners instructions with a keen eye. I am comfortable administering medications, special care instructions (i.e: elderly or special needs animals) and giving walks and baths. I am generally comfortable in unfamiliar places, maintaining a calm energy, respecting property and taking great care to give pets the attention they need in the absence of their owners. If you are interested in boarding with me: I currently provide a loving home to 2 cats and a dog. They are friendly, curious and well socialized with people and other animals. Dot, our boxer-collie, is especially good with dogs, cats and small children. For safety, we are able to easily separate pets either by partitioning/gating off rooms where they can maintain comfort, or utilizing the large dog crate in the front room where your pet will not be sequestered all by themselves, but still have a space they feel secure. I have no allergies, aversions, or phobias. I communicate well and will happily answer questions and provide references.

“Ian was such a wonderful dog sitter for our pup. He hit it off with Leo during the meet and greet, which is impressive because Leo is often a bit standoffish with new people. Ian followed the care plan we put together for him and was communicative with questions and needs. He sent pictures nearly every day so we knew Leo was well taken care of. Highly recommend!”

“Joel has made us feel so comfortable while we’re out of town. He loves and treats our 13 year old Weimaraner like his own. He communicates every day. Thanks Joel for everything!”

“Danielle C was an outstanding pet and house sitter! I could not recommend her more. She communicated with me throughout her stay, sent amazing photos and clearly loved being with my dogs. I can’t wait to have her back :-)”

“Joree was super sweet and communicative. Quick responses and very flexible. Left my place looking tidy and with a happy pup to come home to :) Highly recommend and will use again!”

“We had a great experience with Stacy sitting our pup Archie in our house over the holiday! Stacy was super responsive and took the time to understand Archie's habits and routine in the house before booking. We loved getting frequent updates and pictures while we were away, we know Archie was getting lots of love and exercise, and we came home to a happy pup and a clean house!”

“I can not recommend Elise enough! She watched our dogs during our wedding and even helped organize them for pictures. She was SO kind, patient, and loving with our dogs. Even with the chaos of the day, she was a ray of sunshine. She made our wedding stress-free and we can not thank her enough for that!”

About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.

“Cheryl did a wonderful job taking care of our little Yorkie! We LOVED getting pictures and updates. We can back to a clean house and a very happy dog. We were definitely able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands! Thank you so much!!”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Deana! She was so wonderful with our very, very quirky dachshund who was sick with pneumonia, and equally as wonderful with our very shy cat. She was also so incredibly responsive and reliable. She picked up meds at the vet, and made sure they both got everything they needed. She also had to deal with a water leak in our apartment and was on top of everything, and overall just very respectful of our space. She is the absolute best house sitter we have ever had, and she is truly amazing. Thank you Deana 🙏🙏🙏”

“Carly did an amazing job watching my anxious dog, best sitter I’ve ever had! She stayed overnight and sent soo many photos and was very gentle and sweet with my nervous girl. She quickly got her to calm down and I started getting so many cute pictures of them snuggling. I will definitely be asking her to come back again!”

Natalie E.

“Hanna was fantastic! A very short term booking and she was able to do a quick meet and greet and care for my dog for a few nights. Definitely will be using again and highly recommend her!”

“Karen is phenomenal!! Our 3yo doodle LOVED her, as did we😊 From our first interaction through watching our girl she was truly one in a million!!! She is proactive, thoughtful, excellent communicator, on time, flexible, responsible, caring with exceptional knowledge about dogs. We traveled from CO to NOLA for Jazzfest and she was happy to stay in our trailer at the EV park with our girl. Wish we could give her 100 stars 🌟🌟🌟for her stellar service!!! Thank you so much Karen, you are a true gem 🩵”

“Highly recommend Martha! This was my first time leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know, and she put all my worries to bed after the meet and greet. Sent daily pictures and messages, so I knew my dog was having a nice time :) Very attentive to the details I laid out and responsive to any questions or concerns I had throughout the entire experience and left my house just like it was when she arrived. I would book her again and would easily recommend her to anyone else!”
