“The best! Thank you, Cheryl! Leaving my pup is the hardest thing for me. Cheryl ensured I felt completely fine by checking in regularly. She’s a natural dog whisperer and Bruno will certainly be missing her until next time! And there will definitely be a next time!!”


“Chloe was awesome and took great care of our dog Roxy! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures! We will definitely use Chloe again!”


“Claire was great with house sitting for our 3 dogs. She’s super responsive and shared pictures of the pups throughout her stay. Would recommend!”


“Sarah was fantastic- she was flexible and able to hop in with my pup at the last minute, was super responsive, and did a wonderful and respectful job taking care of my 16 year old dog with special needs. Strongly recommended”


“Justin was so great with my dog! He was communicative and attentive to her. He was also lovely to work with and I will definitely be looking to book him the next time I’m out of town!”


“Alex was great with our needy pups. Sent us photos and updates regularly while we were away. Took great care of house and left everything clean and tidy”


“Ryan was great! My puppy Clyde loved the visit as he got a walk and plenty of attention. Ryan sent photos throughout the day and we were happy with the visit. Will definitely be booking Ryan in the near future. Thanks Ryan!”


“Karlin took care of my dog after a bilateral TPLO surgery, only days after the operation. I had a scheduling conflict and had to be away for a few days and she stepped up and took care of my injured dog! She is very loving and kind to the pups and she was very communicative with me as well! So glad we found her!”


“One of the most positive dog and house sitting experiences I’ve had. Caroline was attentive, communicative and creatively playful with my two dogs. They loved her so much. Already booking my next visit with her. T”


“Look no further for your next dog sitter. On a last minute request, Nikki stepped up and took the best care of my dog over a long weekend. Nikki was extremely caring, thoughtful, engaging, and responsive, and I would highly recommend her for any other dog sitting jobs. After staying overnight for two days, she left my place (and dog) in better shape than she found it, and went above and beyond to provide the best care and service possible. She provided several photo and status updates of my dog while I was away, and it was clear that my dog was thoroughly enjoying her time with Nikki. Nikki has a very kind spirit and I couldn’t recommend her enough for future sitter opportunities.”


About: Skilled pet sitter with 3 years of experience. I sincerely enjoy spending time with all animals and I strive to treat every cat or dog as if they were my own! Happy to help when and where I'm needed along with providing any critical care that may be required. Please know that I will gladly spoil your pet to the fullest extent (: I'm currently working part-time while also being in the Army National Guard! I tend to be free majority of the week and normally the weekends as well if I don't have drill. Please feel free to message me with any availability inquiries that you may have (: If boarding, I have a fenced in yard along with a spacious home that includes french doors that I can close off from the rest of my house in case I'm babysitting a small kitten or puppy that may require a watchful eye!

“Blakely did an awesome job caring for my two pups for the weekend! She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures/updates. our dogs can get anxious when we leave town but they were very relaxed and happy when we arrived home so I know they had a great time and got lots of love and attention while we were gone! She also washed the towels and sheets before she left which was so thoughtful and above and beyond! Will definitely book with her again!”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Amber!! I would give her more than 5 stars if that was an option!! She is the most wonderful and caring sitter. She went above and beyond to make sure my fur babies were cared for and so loved I don’t know if they were even worried when I would be back 😁! She sent pictures everyday and communicated daily to keep me updated. I will definitely be using her in the future for any sitting needs and I would highly recommend her!!!”

We will definitely be asking Emily to pet sit again!”

About: I've had pets my entire life. I'm retired now and travel extensively for part of the year, so I'm unable to have pets of my own and thought this would be a great way to keep busy while I am in town. I have a doggy door and a large, gated backyard for games of fetch or hide and seek. I will provide a safe, loving home while you are away or drop-in if you so choose. When I'm in NOLA, I often work part-time from home. I'm retired so you could call me a homebody, and I'm often found working in my garden. In the fourth quarter of the year, I do travel until thanksgiving but will keep my calendar here updated. I am relatively flexible with scheduling. My son recently moved and took his Boston Terrier with him, so there are no longer any pets in my home. I have a large, fenced yard perfect for games of hide-and-seek or fetch, and I'm often in the back as well working on my garden. I do not have any plants that would present a danger. I love to take long, daily walks on the levee, which is only two blocks away...and would love to bring your pet along! I often have family visit, who also love pets.

About: I took care of a lovely little guy of my own( childhood bestie!). Worked in a doggy daycare for a few years and I’m currently at an animal clinic! I have had a dog, bunny, ferret, and a few fish and have groomed a dog before but still looking to get more experience. I work with dogs and cats all day everyday and get off at the latest 4pm usually off Wednesdays and Sundays but my work schedule does change sometimes. I currently don’t have a pet right now definitely looking for a new addition. I have experience giving oral and topical medicine, walking, cleaning, playing, and most importantly snuggling!

Cindy O.Star Sitter
“Cindy has dog sitter for my wife and I many times over the last 5 years. Duration has been between a quick visit to feed and let outside to coming over multiple times a day for a week when we were out of town. Cindy is great with animals and our late Luna (dog) really loved her. I would definitely recommend Cindy to take care of your pet(s) while you’re away. Either in a pinch or a scheduled trip, she has always been reliable and extremely pet friendly.”
