“Michelle is wonderful with my new rescue pup, Harriet. Michelle is on time, treats Harriet like her own fur baby, and is a great communicator. It’s so nice to have peace of mind knowing Harriet is in loving and responsible hands. Thanks, Michelle!”
“Elizabeth has been very responsive and was great during our meet and greet. She has been very patient with my dogs behaviors and will be using her regularly for walking services.”
“Last minute went out of town and she was able to accommodate us for a walk!! Daphne is the best, so sweet and I know my pup is in great hands!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“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 the best! She always takes great care of my dog and I highly trust her to be my reoccurring walker. She’s very communicative and responsive to my messages which eases my mind when I’m away from my pup. Truly, cannot recommend her enough!”
“Great job. Thanks!”
“Thanks again Alexus!! Ivy loves your walks”
“This is the second week we are using Courtney as our pup daily walker. She has been amazing, super responsible, responsive and made sure our pup gets the best care while in her hands. We highly recommend Courtney!”
“Thank you Ashley!”
“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!”
“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.”
About: I've had dogs since I was a child and just have so much love for them! I have pet sit for friends & family for the past several years (dogs & cats). I have also been through obedient training with multiple dogs. I have so much love & good walks to share with your fur babies! I can't wait to meet & spoil your pet!🖤 I'm currently working part time so I have plenty of time to take care of your pup or kitty! I am available for walks or drop in visits in the morning and evening most days, and wide open every Tuesday and Wednesday. I have a wonderful pup of my own to spend time with, so I am no longer accepting new clients for long in house stays. I would be happy to accommodate a shorter weekend getaway! I prefer to care for your pet in your home where they are already feeling safe. This way I am the only new variable in what can sometimes be an unsure time for a pet. I find that pets warm up so much more quickly in the comfort of their own home!
About: I've spent my whole life around animals—especially dogs, cats, bunnies, and hamsters. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior cat, I’ve cared for them with love and attention. Being with animals comes naturally to me, and I treat every pet like part of the family. I work at a business in the French quarter and my schedule is flexible. I can take a long lunch in order to check on pets. I follow all instructions and act as if I'm being watched by the owner in the moment. I was a residential housecleaner for over a decade and appreciated supervision.
“Lindsey was amazing!!! She was organized and on it. She had a pretty heavy task with our pups but I never worried about how they were dealing. I would book her over and over again!”
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.
“Alexander is great with dogs! He had a lot of patience with my shy dog and was very realiable and responsible. Highly recommend hiring Alexander!”
About: Hello everyone, my name is Alyce; I’ll treat your animal as if they were my own! I have 4+ years experience of helping walk and care for my uncle’s German Shepard, Drew! I have owned my rescue kitten, Suki, for 5 months- she is 8 months old. I am currently in an online asynchronous summer course, so my schedule is pretty flexible. See calendar for availability. Daylight hours preferred. Weekends preferred. - Alyce I can feed your dog or cat, take them to the bathroom, scoop their litter, play with them; whatever you and your furry friend need me to do while you are busy!

Rosie S.
“Rosie was raised in a family with several pets, including cats, dogs, and a fish. She enjoyed playing with them and taking care of their needs, but especially respecting them in a responsible way. As Rosie's mom, I can attest to her good nature with animals and the joy she finds in being around pets. Last year, she helped me sit for my cat when I was on vacation. It was a relief to have left my dear cat with someone who truly knew how to lovingly take care of her. I definitely recommend her as a dog sitter.”

“When we were looking for someone dependable to care for our four dogs, we were very “picky” to find a suitable dog sitter. Madelynn is more than suitable to take care of our fur babies. Our dog’s absolutely love her! She very attentive to their needs with feeding times and medication. She is promptly on time, friendly, and caring. I highly recommend Madelynn for anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to look after their pets.”
