About: I’ve been an animal lover and pet owner for years and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’m dependable, attentive and patient, and I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog needs a good walk, a potty break, playtime or some extra love while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. And you can definitely expect photo updates! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and can make time for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m keeping my service area close to home so I can be dependable, punctual and give each pet plenty of attention without rushing. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions carefully. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to doors, gates and leashes, and will make your pet’s safety and comfort my priority. I’ll also send photos and updates during each visit so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I have had horses and dogs for most of my life. I love being around animals and developing a bond with them. I am an Air Force Veteran and small business owner. I am very reliable and trustworthy to take care of the special dog in your life. I have availability in the evenings after my classes at UC Davis Monday, Wednesday and Friday after 3pm and Tuesdays from 7-9am. I can also help on some weekends by appointment! I am a gym owner and I would primarily have your pet there unless I were to watch your pet in your home. I have a fully vaccinated, friendly 2 year old Doberman mix that will keep your pet playful and busy at my gym or I can leave her home and come for a visit to your residence.

“Thank you for taking care of my boys while I was out of town! I much appreciated the updates on their eating behavior as I know they can be picky at times!”

About: I have experience caring for young dogs, including feeding, basic training, and keeping them active and safe. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every dog with love and attention. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with cat or dog. I am available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 3 At the client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine, give fresh food and water, clean up, play, and make sure the pet feels safe and relaxed.

About: I grew up around dogs and cats and love all furry friends! Love giving pets, scratches, and playing with furry friends. And most importantly… cuddling! I’m currently working on getting my master’s for social work so I only work part time and go to school online. I’m available on weekends and most of the day on Tuesdays and Fridays if I don’t have to drop off/pick up my mom from work. I am very attentive with pets, giving them attention, pets and cuddles. I work with autistic children so my reflexes are quick and I am always paying attention!

About: I have had cats, dogs and rodents since I was able to walk. I love all animals and cannot wait to meet yours! I currently have two cats, two rats and a leopard gecko. I am currently a student and I have plenty of time on my hands to take great care of any pet that you need! I attend school for a few hours a day and am free most of the time! I live in an apartment, but have no issues watching pets in your home! I could take in cats, but dogs might feel a bit cramped in my one bedroom apartment

About: I’ve always loved animals growing up. I loved them so much I wanted to become a Veterinarian. Even though I did not become that Veterinarian, I still deeply care for animals. With a dream to start my own rescue one day. God willing. Saving all the animals that need the most love and care. I have worked with animals in the past, volunteered for the LASPCA & have been the proud owner of 2 cats and 2 American Pitbull Terriers. I’m the one at the party with the dog instead of the people. I enjoy hanging out with cats and dogs, playing and giving them love and attention they deserve. Pet care fits into my daily/weekly routine because I care for my own dog. I take her for car rides, walks (when it’s not too hot) and giving lots of love. It’s something I look forward to everyday. I currently live in an apartment so I like to take my dog out for rides and long walks to get her exercise. As well as my own steps. I am very good with animals and being able to gain their trust. There’s no dog too big or small, they are all mostly big babies.

“Jared was great while housesitting and watching my cats! He is kind, responsive, and trustworthy. I came home to a clean house and happy kitties :) would definitely use him again for my next trip!”

“Karen was fantastic!! We were due to fly to an out of state wedding less than 24 hours after Francine rolled through. It took the city awhile to get power back and Karen happily offered to stay anyway, even without power the first night. It was a huge relief knowing our cat Pixie was in good hands and we were still able to see our friends get married. Karen communicates wonderfully, left our house spotless, and most importantly took the best care of our cat! She sent plenty of photos and Pixie was clearly very happy the whole time. Thank you again Karen, we would love to have you back to watch Pixie again in the future! :)”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life From Jack Russel’s to Great Danes. I’ve volunteered at vets and shelters and provided care for sick and elderly pets. I have pet sat for years and enjoy providing company and comfort to pets when their owners are away/busy. I work from home full time so have a huge flexibility on my ability to take care of pets or work from other locations if needed! I have a large yard with a brand new and secure fence. I have a well trained and friendly dog and two cats that are super friendly!

“Super communicative and flexible! Aileen took care of our cat for 4 days while we were gone and sent us really cute pictures and updated us on everything. She was able to administer oral medications too. Would rebook her again”

About: When your pets stay with me, they get my full attention. I'm currently freelancing and work mostly from home, besides the occasional meeting, in-person project, or event. I prefer to host one pet family at a time, so that I can give each client and crew my utmost effort, compassion, and care. I want to make sure your family members are thriving and living their best lives while you're away! I've cared for cats, dogs, and even turtles since I was a kid. I'm an avid foster with the Louisiana SPCA and have volunteered with animal welfare organizations across the state since I was a teenager. I've cared for almost every kind of dog: the chill seniors, the anxious rescues, and the gregarious goofballs. I enjoy exploring the colorful neighborhoods of New Orleans with a companion by my side. I also love teaching and learning new tricks, and I'm always down for an impromptu playtime. In my free time, I'm a passionate circus artist, so I'm usually juggling tennis balls when I'm not throwing them for fetch. I'm a lifelong New Orleanian, so I know all the coolest (literally) spots in town. Whether that's a long sniffy and shaded walk in City Park, or a breezy stroll along the lakefront, I make sure all of our adventures are catered to your pet's comfort and schedule. I'm currently freelancing, so I have ample free time to care for pets of all kinds. With enough notice, I can generally be available any day of the week at any time. I'm able to work mostly remotely, and I try to structure my days around hanging with your pets at your house or at mine. When I do have to leave pets alone, I make sure they're cozy with fresh food and water, toys, and plenty of napping space. I ask lots of questions during our meet-and-greets and our communications to ensure we're aligned on your family's needs schedule-wise, and so that I understand your pet's normal daily routine. I try to keep my calendar current, so you can see when I'm available and when I'm not, but reach out anytime! Your pet stays with me whether in your home or at my own. My flexible schedule allows me to hang out and check in often. I have reliable transportation that allows me to fetch the essentials and the luxuries, like treats. My home has a fenced yard, so there's plenty of space for secure outdoor activities. I also have a pool, so when it's hot, there's a place to cool off. If I'm boarding your pet, I'll follow your lead when it comes to swimming. If your dog loves water, we can swim together, and if they're not a swimmer, I'll make sure we stay dry. I'm always happy to share more details about our yard during our conversations or a meet-and-greet. On walks, we use the leashes and gear you provide and that your pet is familiar with. Alternatively, I can also bring my own leashes if you'd like. I follow your instructions around feeding, routine, and medications (I appreciate having your instructions written down). I refer to your preferred vet and pet hospital information. As a local New Orleanian, I'm resourceful and knowledgeable about the multitude of pet resources in town that help your pet stay healthy and happy, from clinics that offer free vaccines to local restaurants that are pup-friendly.

“Morgan is my favorite sitter I recommend her to anyone who wants to spoil their pet! I gave her a reasonable list of to-dos to help care for my cat for when i’m away and i’m very type A so I thought i’d feel the need to constantly msg and check up. I was gone for 2.5 weeks and across the world on a 12-14 hour time difference, so I often woke up to her updates without having to msg her while she was there bc I was sleeping. And when I tell you her updates are very thorough, addressing every single thing on the to do list and the ease or challenges she had with each one, with many many many pictures each visit!!! every question I could’ve had was answered, I felt soooo at ease it made my trip so much better knowing I can just move on with my schedule knowing my fur baby is well taken care of. I couldn’t be happier with the care Morgan provided my sweet girl! highly recommend :)”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I love high energy animals and taking care of them. I grew up with a dog and cat I still have and care for and more recently I have been a volunteer at the Humane Society, I even ended up starting my own club of volunteers in high school. This role has equipped me with all sorts of animal care skills such as cleaning after them, bathing them, feeding them and administering medication, and making sure to provide lots of love and attention. I’ve always said that I’m not a dog or cat person when asked, but rather an animal person. I love animals and caring after them. I am a college student at Tulane University and I am currently home for the summer! I am available until June 22nd and have open availability all day every day until then. I have a fenced yard and two pets of my own that are both friendly so I am no stranger to spending time outdoors with animals or having playdates. I am more than happy to take pets to any appointments they may have and am able to administer medication if needed.

“Amara took great care of our two cat babies. She was very quick with clear communication and sent pictures and videos often. She even moved our furniture when there was an unexpected leak from the roof so our belongings weren't damaged. Thank you Amara for helping manage what would have been a stressful situation with our emergency home repairs while we were on vacation. Highly recommend. Will definitely be booking again!”

About: I provide loving, reliable care for dogs of all breeds and sizes, ensuring they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or special care, I tailor my services to their unique personality and routine. I prioritize their well-being with plenty of exercise, attention, and affection, always keeping you updated with photos and messages. With me, your furry friend will be in safe, and will wail’s know they are the goodest boys/girls! I am a teacher and work full time. That being said, by job is flexible and I can leave during the day to let out, feed, or walk pets if they are nearby. I am also off during school holidays. I can only allow cats in my home at this time as long as you don’t mind my other cat, Winston, being their best friend.

About: I’ve always adored pets since I was young. I’ve had many in my life from cats,dogs,and rodents. I know animals are equal beings that need treatment with special accommodations. This requires patience which is almost unlimited for me.i currently have three cats that I’ve owned since they were 3-4 months old they’re now 6. I just got rats a few weeks ago they’re girls 6-8 months old. I believe everything follows a routine dedicated to them and I have no issue aligning myself to these routines. I’m still finishing high school at the moment and I have a job. But besides managing those I’m available weekdays after 4 if I’m not scheduled to work, weekends any time I keep my babies inside as much as possible. They’re allowed to free roam outside since they’re used to that lifestyle from before. They wear flee collars, jam is allergic. I cleanse them with daily grooming and anima safe wipes or soap if necessary. They’re fed 2-3 a day with half a cup or less of cat food I do plan to change their diets eventually. When it comes to other people’s pets I treat them with nothing but love and care and always stay considerate of whatever the owner says I should know about that animal. I’m extremely against cruelty brand products so I will avoid associating or using them.

“First time using Rover and Renee did not disappoint. She provided great communication every day and sent pictures of each drop-in visit. Krieger can be somewhat anxious in new situations, but he took to Renee immediately. She went above expectations by taking him for a walk (which he absolutely LOVES) each time she came over. You can tell by the pictures that he was quite content. Would definitely use Renee again in the future.”

About: I've always loved animals and am naturally compassionate. While growing up my family had a small breed dog, and I personally owned hamsters and fish which I was the sole caretaker of. I am also a former Junior [Zoo] Keeper, which equipped me with reptile care experience. As an adult, I have had a German Shepherd, cats, and fish as well. I am adaptable and am confident in my ability to provide competent care for a wide variety of species. I am available for house sitting any days of the week, and available for drop-ins and walks after 5pm Mon-Fri and all throughout weekend days. I will be happy to abide by your house rules and pet care guidelines, respect your home, and give loving care to your animal(s). Don't shy away from being specific about your preferences
