“Noah is AMAZING! Very much self directed and the only person I've hired who was able to both arm and disarm the alarm in their own. I was able to really enjoy my time away. My dogs love Noah.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Sherryann has been a great help walking our dogs during a family health crisis. She is responsive, professional, and efficient, communicates well, and is good with the pups. She has reliably gotten our stressed-out dogs some air and much-needed exercise even when one of them (and they are large) was feeling fussy and balky and extra shy. I highly recommend her.”
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.
“This was our first time using Rover, and Hannah went above and beyond. Our foster dog, Jet, gets very nervous when strangers enter our home, but Hannah was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. She even took the initiative to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand, meeting us outside our building to get to know Jet, understand his behavior, and familiarize herself with our neighborhood and building access. We felt completely at ease leaving Jet in her care, and she’ll be our first choice moving forward.”
“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!”
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.
“Deana was wonderful with Oggi. Had her for a week to help out while I worked & he loved her. Professional, on time, followed all instructions & attentive noticing when he got tired or the heat was a bit much for him. If you want someone who will care for your fur baby I recommend her”
About: Hi, I’m Britt — a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter. I had my sweet pup Abbie for 10 wonderful years, and since her recent passing, I’ve deeply missed having a dog around. I’m not quite ready to adopt again just yet, but I’d love to share my home and heart with your pup in the meantime. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless friends’ dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I work remotely (as does my partner), so your dog will have constant company, attention, and care. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a spacious yard that’s fully enclosed with double-secured fencing — perfect for safe play and lounging in the sun. I also have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and TLC they may need. Whether your pup is energetic or a couch cuddler, they’ll be treated like family here. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — I’d love to hear about your dog and how I can help! Right now, I’m freelancing remotely through November — my main job runs from November to June, so I currently have a super flexible schedule and work from home full-time. That means your pup will rarely be left alone and can expect lots of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m available for daytime care, overnights, or longer stays depending on your needs! I’m currently in a pet-free home, so your dog will get all the attention without the stress of sharing space with other animals. I live in a cozy New Orleans shotgun-style house that’s easy to section off depending on your dog’s needs — whether they like their own space or prefer to be close by. We also have a double-secured fenced yard that’s great for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. While this profile is just for me, my partner is also home full-time and a calm, animal-loving presence. He’s especially patient with dogs who may be shy or nervous around men. I’m happy to accommodate crate training, medication, or any specific routines to help your pup feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me.
“Robin is super responsive, consistent and on time, and even our stranger-danger aussiedoodle loves her and is always happy to see her for midday walks!”
About: As a proud puppy parent to a playful 2-year-old, I know exactly what it takes to care for dogs with both heart and structure. Whether your dog needs snuggles, playtime, or a little gentle discipline, I bring the perfect balance of fun and responsibility. I’m all about making sure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and completely cared for—because that’s what I’d want for mine. From belly rubs to structured walks, your pup will be treated like family from start to finish. I work from home with flexible hours, available for walks anytime. After 4 PM weekdays and weekends are wide open to care for your dogs fully. I ensure dogs stay safe always, using crates if needed. I’m attentive and constantly watchful to keep them secure and comfortable at all times in my care
