House Sitting In Mid-City

“As much as we dislike leaving our pets (including two seniors with special needs) and home, we’re grateful they’re all in great hands with Joel. We appreciate the regular updates and him going above and beyond to take such good care of everyone while we’re gone. Will happily reach out to Joel for future pet-sitting needs!”

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.

“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 :-)”

“Ian stayed at our house with our two pit mixes and our two cats. Everything was safe and sound when we got home 4 days later. He was bang on time for our meet and greet as well as the day we left. Sent us pictures and was communicative throughout. He even got our nervy dog to warm up to him a bit!!”

Haley S.

“Absolutely fantastic! She was great with communication and our dog was very happy the whole time she was there. Will use her again in a heartbeat!”

Elizabeth R.

“Joree and my dog got along great. She stayed with him for the weekend while I took a last-minute trip. She sent plenty of photos and updates, and I came home to a clean house and relaxed dog. I would be happy to work with Joree again.”

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 was great! She was prompt and good about sending photos and updates on the dogs' behaviour, etc. We were gone for two nights and had complete peace of mind knowing she was taking care of our two Boston Terriers. As a bonus, she washed the bed sheets and towels and left the house immaculate! We'd definitely have her back!”

Rachel J.

“Did our first overnights with Elizabeth, and we will definitely be using her again. Our pup was taken care of and exercised, most importantly we had state of mind with all the texts, pictures and communications. We felt better about Grant being relaxed at home with a familiar caregiver rather than in a strange loud kennel. She even watered my basil plant when it started to wilt!”

Kathleen N.

“Chloe did a fantastic job taking care of my pups! I loved all the photos and updates. They were happy and my home was as clean as I left it. Thank you, Chloe, Cohiba & Ollie look forward to seeing you soon!”

Absinthia V.

“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!”

Austin M.

“Ryan is conscientious, attentive to deal, kind, dog-loving -- he's the whole package!He was a support and trusted advisor to me on our recent trip when our older dog was not doing well. I cannot recommend him any more highly.”

Lauren P.

“Martha stayed with our two pups while we were out of the country for a week and a half. She did an amazing job caring for our elderly dog who has some significant health issues. The dogs clearly loved her and were super loving with her. Thank you so much, Martha!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.

“Jared was such a perfect fit for what I needed. My dogs were carefully taken care of, and very well entertained by him. He kept me in the know of anything with the pups and was very attentive to one that needs a little extra for her anxiety. I would highly recommend Jared to anyone, I will for sure be a repeat!”

Michael B.

“The best pet sitter in New Orleans! Stacy has stayed with my two dogs several times over the past two years, including rescuing me with less than 24 hour notice back in April. You cannot go wrong asking her to watch your pets.”

Richard S.

“Alyssa was perfect for Daisy. She brought her chiweenie Oliver with her and Daisy loved it. Alyssa was thorough and communicative the entire time we were gone. She is a natural pet sitter. We will definitely call upon her again for upcoming trips.”

Susan G.

“Jenifer took such great care of our 2 cats! She was attentive, affectionate, and patient with them, as they can be demanding when it comes to feeding. Our cats are high maintenance and have to be fed 3 times a day at specific times, including an early 6:30 am, and she kindly fed them at their specified times. She also sent frequent updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. She’s also such a sweet person. I highly recommend her!”

Alexandria T.

“Karen is the absolute best! She made time to meet with me before the actual day I booked. She wanted Millie to know her before the sitting appointment. She provided a safe, calm environment for my dog during a loud time (fireworks) and went me pictures and updates throughout the night. Karen took such good care of Millie. I never worried while I was out. She's a doll!”

Rhonda J.

“Elizabeth stayed at our house to pet sit for our senior kitty. Elizabeth gave picture updates and was communicative the entire time while we were away. When we arrived, our kitty had clearly gotten tons of care and attention! The house was also kept clean and tidy just like when we left. Will definitely be using Elizabeth on future trips!”
