“Mallory was wonderful watching our dogs at our house for the weekend. She handled our two (sometimes troublesome) pups very well and with no complaints, even when one got a little sick. She was communicative throughout the entire process and shared lots of pictures and updates during her stay to make us feel more comfortable and show us they were happy and well loved. She took excellent care of our house as well. Thank you!”


“Very friendly and responsive. Emily came by on short notice to meet the dogs, sent lots of pictures, and when I got back, the house was in the same shape as I left it. Will definitely use her again!”
“Victor was an exceptional guest and a wonderful caretaker for my two dogs. He followed all instructions carefully, maintained great communication while I was away, and most importantly, my dogs absolutely adored him. The house was spotless when I returned! Victor went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order, and I felt completely at ease knowing my pets and home were in such capable hands. I would not hesitate to welcome him back again. Highly recommended!”

“Kate was awesome!! She was very communicative with us the entire time, sending lots of updates with pictures and videos. Our dog was very well taken care of and got all the exercise and attention she needed. ?”

“Amanda is incredible. INCREDIBLE. You hear me? You cannot get a better pet sitter. Stop looking, and just book Amanda if she’s free. We’re pretty sure our pets will be sad we are back and that she’s not coming to hang with them!”

“Cindy was wonderful. She took excellent care of our senior cats while we were away for the holidays. Kind, thorough, and very communicative, we knew she was taking great care of them so we could relax on our travels. Very grateful for that! Recommend Cindy highly!”

“Bridget took awesome care of our pets over the weekend! She sent consistent updates and photos each day and asked questions whenever she was unsure of something. We will definitely be having her again and would highly recommend her. Our dog and cat were very well taken care of. Thanks Bridget!”

“Lydia was great! She was very communicative and kind. She was knowledgeable and checked in if she noticed my dog was doing anything that might be out of the ordinary. Your pet will be in good hands with her.”

“I had to find a sitter VERY last minute and Margaret was incredible. She met me for a meet and greet and my sweet Tillie fell for her right away. Tillie had a great time on her sleepover and I'll definitely be reaching out to Margaret again in the future.”

“Thane is so communicative and caring. Did a great job with my senior dog, Toast and sent lots of photos and updates. Thane is very responsible and responsive and did a great job pet and house sitting. I’ll definitely use em again!!!!”

“Sidney was so gentle and loving to our shy kitty! Bambino took to her immediately and when we came home, he was a happy clam as if we hadn’t even been away! We would 100% recommend her and will be booking her again for our future getaways 🥰. Thank you so much, Sidney!”

“Jamie was so great with our Claire! Claire is a bit shy around new people but I think she was on Jamie’s lap before we were out of the area! We would love to have her stay with our four legged child again.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years-old, and my parents told me our family dog was my responsibility. I have had six dogs of my own over the years, including one foster dog that I had for several years. I have dog sat for many of my friends and neighbors over the years, as everyone knows how much I love dogs! I currently work from home in New Orleans and spend all day with my loveable Golden Retriever, Louie! He gets along very well with other dogs and is happy to host them in his house and backyard. We would love to care for your best canine friend as well! I currently work fulltime from home so I am able to be home nearly all of the day with your dog(s). I will be at home on the computer or on the phone so your dogs will be with me almost all times of the day. I know what it's like to leave your dog babies with other people when you travel so I try to give them as much attention as I can. I'll also keep you well updated while you're gone as well.
“We had Jasmine look after our dog and cat for a long holiday weekend. She was attentive, communicated well before and during the stay, and that allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying about our fur babies at home. I recommend her to other animal owners and will be using her again.”
