“Eloise loved Daphne...we loved Daphne! She did a great job when we were in New Orleans for Mardi Gras with our crazy schedule AND we had to change hotels and Daphne easily accommodated us. Daphne took the time to organize a meet and great with our pup upon our arrival and made our experience wonderful. Thank you, Daphne, and thank you, Rover.”
“Sookie love Elizabeth and Elizabeth is great with Sookie and flexible with making changes as needed. A true bonus to have her walking Sookie.”
“Kelly is amazing! So many thank yous for taking care of my doggo! You’ve been a huge help in keeping him happy and healthy. You’ve pivoted from dog walking to helping shuttle my little furry dude home from doggy day camp. Due to my work schedule at the hospital not allowing me to pick him up, you have become such a blessing. Thank you thank you thank you and I cannot recommend you enough!”
About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life. My mom is a biologist so she taught me from a very young age how every living thing has a soul and a place in this world. She would pick up mice and spiders that got into our home with her hands and take them outside (instead of killing them). Needless to say, I am very comfortable around animals. I’ve had dogs and cats as pets my whole life and I consider myself pretty good with them, even when meeting stray cats or other people’s dogs in the street; I am very patient with them and always let them feel confident with me before I pet them. I have never house-sat for dogs before but I have taken care of roommate’s and friend’s dogs while they are at work or out of town, feeding them, and taking them for walks, etc. I have house-sat for my mom’s cat before (at the end of 2021, actually, for her birthday) which you can read about in my testimonials. Full-disclosure – I’m currently looking for a part-time job so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have a car so I can drive over to you, just let me know what your daily and weekly needs are so we can figure out a schedule :) I’m currently not allowed to have any fur babies at my apartment so I will give your pups all the attention and play-time they want. Like I said above, I’ll let them get comfortable with me at their own pace but, of course, take care of their basic needs like food, water, and walks. Just let me know how they do with other dogs on the street and with other humans – if they’re shy, really energetic, etc.
“Always prompt and Moxy is always so happy when they get back. I can tell they had a good time. Thank you so much for being available on short notice.”
“Amanda is wonderful with my two dogs. She is super conscientious and creatively manages their differing needs; one is small and elderly and one is large, young, and dog reactive. I so appreciate Amanda!”
“Great job. Thanks!”
“Victoria is a terrific dog walker, provided thorough updates and pics as well. Also a great communicator, reliable and trustworthy! Would definitely recommend and will be reaching out next time!”
“Chloe is dedicated to walking my pup who loves her. She braves all weather conditions and schedule changes with a good attitude. My dog Sophie gets the zoomies after every walk.”
About: Howdy! I’ve been caring for various neighbors’ pets since I was a pre-teen. Absolutely adore dogs and their unique ability to connect with humans. I used to sit for various dogs in Los Angeles but now live in New Orleans as a librarian. Looking to walk dogs in spare time or pet sit as applicable! Let’s connect! :) I work full time Monday-Thursday and alternate between having Fridays and Saturdays off. Usually off by 5pm when working. Always have Sundays off. Schedule is flexible. Pet-free apartment nearby parks and good dog-walking residential neighborhoods. Love walking and ensuring the dog has enough outdoor time and opportunities to use the bathroom.
“Hanna was very communicative and also dealt with my dog while it was raining! She also was super kind in helping me navigate the app. You won’t go wrong if you book with her.”
About: I've walked dogs in Dallas, Tx for three years. I've been taking care of my own dog since moving here to New Orleans. Love all kinds of dogs. I'm recently retired and looking for some extra income. I love all kinds of dogs big or small and their individual personalities. I'm also a long time cat owner and love them as well. I would like to offer my service to stay at your home with your pet. I will feed, adminster medicine, walk, and groom your pet.
“Robin is so wonderful with our pup! I know I can always count on her to be on time and communicative, and she sends the best update pictures!”
“Thank you Ashley!”
About: I am available Monday-Sunday any time to watch your dog! I am a big dog-person, as I grew up with 3 dogs and ran a dog walking business. I am a returned Peace Corps volunteer, a graduate from Tulane University’s MPH program in New Orleans, and work from home as an Epidemiologist for the Department of Health. I am a caring, reliable, outgoing person that has always had a soft-spot for animals. I have a lot of experience taking care of animals and would love to walk, run, or just take care of your dog whenever you need! I know life can be busy so I would love to help give your pet some love while you’re away. I love to go on long walks and have a big backyard to run around in. I truly enjoy animals and am the person you want to walk, board, daycare or house sit your dog! I work from home so would not have to leave your pet alone. We also have a yard and live near City Park. My dog would love to have a buddy to play with too! My dog, King, is super sweet and gets along with all dogs. He always loves the company of another dog to play with. I can also keep the dogs separate easily, if needed.
About: I’ve had dog, cats, reptiles, and fish pretty much all my life. I love meeting, playing, and taking care of animals. I live to see them happy and comfortable. I tend to get along with animals very well! I have multiple animals that I help take care of daily. They are like my siblings and I love them dearly. I am my family’s pet sitter and would like to expand. I much rather keep the animal(s) in their own home to be the most comfortable. I like to build trust with any animal I come to care for like it is my own.
“Loren was the best! It’s nice to know you can count on someone, and I can count on Loren! You can tell she loves animals also. Very responsive, followed all directions, went above and beyond. I will use her again!!”
“I love working with Jessie she is always very prompt in her response time and leaves cute little comments on her rover cards. She is also willing to go above and beyond when my pup acts up;) Definitely would recommend!!”
“Deana was able to save the day when another sitter cancelled and she went above and beyond in caring for my dog last minute. Her communication and knowledge of pet care were phenomenal and I can’t recommend her highly enough.”
