About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a kid, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with senior and younger pets. I cared for my own dog in her later years when she developed back leg problems. I helped her move around the house, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her lots of love and patience every day. I additionally took care of my other dog in her early months waking up multiple times nightly to calm her down. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m confident in handling all kinds of needs. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, so I’m able to care for pets whenever needed. Pet care easily fits my routine, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pets specific needs and schedule.your pets comfort and routine will always come first. I believe pets are most comfortable and relaxed in their own home, which is why I only offer care in the clients space. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect in return. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
“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: After a tragically pet-free childhood, I've spent the last 20 years seeking out any opportunity to care for animals—from free dog walking for friends and cat-sitting for vacationing pals to hiking with hounds and being a designated vet chauffeur. I love exploring the outdoors with a dog, chucking sticks across empty fields, and praising them for every "good stretch"! I do everything I can to make pet parents feel comfortable and assured when they leave their furry friends in my care—including plenty of photos and updates! I work from home as a writer/editor and a live-edge woodworker, so my schedule is entirely flexible and under my control. I have a fenced-in backyard with ample shade where I often write and work, so outside time is always available for the animals I care for. I love walking the city and wandering through green spaces, especially Audubon Park and City Park, and having a puppy pal to accompany me makes it even more enjoyable. My interior home space is approximately 1,800 square feet, with multiple couches and rooms and sunspots for dogs and/or cats to relax and lounge. The fenced-in backyard is well-secured with a 6-foot fence for stress-free bathroom breaks, and my active lifestyle takes me on at least 2 longer walks each day, typically in the morning and evening. At a client's home, I pride myself on being highly adaptable to new routines and expectations, and my career as an editor makes me very attentive to details, e.g., medication needs, feeding times, sleep schedules, walk durations, etc. Whether you need someone to pop in and play with your pooch for an hour, or leave your animal at my home for a longer trip, you can rest assured they will be cared for, loved and pampered in a safe and comfortable environment.

“Evlin helped me last minute and was very flexible, accommodating, and took great care of my pup. She went out of her way to take good care of her. Usually my pup takes a while to warm up to strangers, but she bonded with her right away! Don't hesitate to book with her!”

About: Hi Hi! I’m Samantha, a lifelong animal lover and proud New Orleans native. I’ve been caring for dogs for over six years, gaining hands-on experience through my brother’s businesses — DogDads and Pup Kulture — where I learned everything from daily walks to structured play, boarding routines, and personalized pet care. Working alongside professionals in the field has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and love with every pup I meet. Whether it’s long walks through the neighborhood, playtime at the park, or calm cuddles at home, I make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their family is away. Now that I’m offering my own services here in New Orleans, my goal is to bring that same trusted care and experience to local pet parents. When your dog stays with me, they’re not just getting a sitter — they’re getting family. 🐶💛 I work from home so I will be able to be there every second to love and care for them and ensure safety always . Walks and treats and playtime is a 24/7 service for every fur baby I want them to feel like they are at home here .
“Rebecca was a great match for our boy. He loved her immediately. She arrived on time, took plenty of pictures, and gave the walking distance needed to burn some of his energy off while I was away. Will book again.”

About: I have an affinity for dogs, having a pet of my own, I know what it takes to provide tender care for your four legged dog.

I’m available during the week and sometimes on weekends, offering dependable care and attention throughout the day. I’ve grown up with dogs and cared for many breeds over the years, from playful puppies to senior companions. I understand canine behavior and always treat each dog with patience, consistency, and care just like my own.
“Lynda is excellent! She is super communicative and Roxy loves her! It was great to know our pup was in good hands while we were out and we really appreciated the photo and video updates. We’ll absolutely reach out to Lynda again next time we have a need for care.”

About: Growing up, I had two huge retired racing greyhounds, so high prey drives and tug of war are no problem for me. In recent years, I’ve discovered a love for cats and all of their unique personalities. No matter the animal, I can give them the care they need! I work from home for myself. My open schedule means I can dedicate my full attention to the animal in my care as they need it. I provide a safe, comfortable environment whether in your home or mine. I stick to your pet’s routine, offering daily walks, playtime, and plenty of affection.

About: I have had dogs in my life since i was 11 years old (27 years). Last october i had to say goodbye to my companion of 11 years, Wanda. I am not ready for another dog of my own and want to be around your dogs as much as possible. I believe in reciprocal relational dynamics between humans and dogs are the best approach to training and trust, not dominance and control. I would like to care for your dog by building a relationship with them based on their personality and needs. Would love to meet you and your dog! I am currently a self-employed carpenter and bee keeper. My schedule is very flexible and i can work with you and your dogs schedule and needs. I live in a household with 3 other dogs who are my roommates', so I cannot board at my home, but am more than happy and available for caring for them at yours. I am good with all size and age of dogs.
About: Since I was eleven and homeschooled, I’ve taken care of my animals with minimal to no help. Because I was the only one home, I took care of feeding, walking, brushing, and playing with them. I connect instantly with dogs of all breeds and know how to give them a good time, while following perimeters set out by parents I’m enrolled in grad school and have a job on campus part time, but these commitments still leave me with tons of time to play and care for pups of all ages, sizes, and dispositions. I’m a clear rule follower. Any perimeters set by pet parents will be followed to the t. I unfortunately am unable to sit in my own apartment because of the apartment rules.
About: Hi! My name is Sonjia! I'm a remote-working entrepreneur which means I set my own work schedule and I can work from anywhere. This also means I'm fully available to care for your pets as needed - day or night, weekday or weekend. I worked in the oil & gas industry for 25 years (10 years with Exxon Mobil and 15 years with Royal Dutch Shell) - so I'm a mature, dependable, responsible, professional person who communicates proactively and honors her commitments. I will treat your home with the utmost respect and I will care for your fur babies as I would my own (like a member of the family)! I have several 5-star reviews for in-home pet and house-sitting on the TrustedHousesitters website and a few continuing arrangements where my service, care, and flexibility work perfectly for the pet owners. I also volunteer periodically at the ASPCA and Humane Society - walking the dogs, cleaning the kennels, and giving the animals some love & affection until they find their "forever homes & families." Additionally, I've been a pet owner many times over the years: several dogs and cats; reptiles (snakes, turtles); small mammals (guinea pigs, sugar gliders); amphibians (frogs); and fish. Basically, animals love me... and I love the animals! 😊 Because I determine my daily work schedule and I’m free to work from anywhere, I can be home with your fur baby during the day to keep them company, take them on an impromptu walk to play or get some fresh air & sunlight, and be available in the event of an emergency. I will work to keep your fur baby on the consistent schedule you’ve already established and make sure that their environment continues to feel safe, secure, and loving - despite your not being there!
About: Growing up, my mom raised dogs and puppies and trained them in obedience. I was also fascinated and helped out where I could and learned a lot about dog training. Now, I have a dog of my own that I have trained as a service animal. I'm very detail-oriented and understand pets are creatures of habit and will work to keep your pets routines consistent. I love having animals around and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Most days I work from home, so I take care of my pets needs as they come up. On days where I am not home, my dog understands the routines and schedules because I keep them consistent, regardless of if I am going out for 1 hour or 8 hours. My yard is completely fenced in with lots of space and lines of sight to ensure their safety. I have an extra crate in my home, in case your pet needs support with crate training or feels safer that way. I also have extra bowls and leashes, just in case! I want to make sure you feel completely comfortable leaving your pet with me and knowing they will be safe and cared for.
