“Aja took my pup on short notice after my last sitter canceled and oh my gosh I’m pretty sure my dog didn’t ever want to come home! Judith had a better vacation than I did - and mine was pretty good! She will be returning for as long as she is welcome. I’m so grateful.”
“Stacey was great with our two dogs! We left them for four days and I wasn’t concerned at all whether they were being taken care of. She sent us updates and amazing pictures. Highly recommended and we will definitely use her in the future. Thanks Stacey!”
“Damaris and Jose were the perfect hosts for our dog, Rocky. They are both very loving and caring people and have a love of birds and animals. They fulfilled Rocky’s needs for twice daily medications. Their fenced-in yard and walks to a local park took care of his outdoor visits. They sent photos on a daily basis. We knew they were the right people during our meet ‘n greet. Rocky came home a very happy dog and we will definitely use Damaris and Jose again.”
“Mike is awesome! My Livvy pouted most of her visit but he tried so hard to make her feel comfortable and welcomed. He kept us updated on how she was doing each day and had just perfect communication during the entire visit. I am looking forward to her having another visit with Mike. Thanks Mike, you Rock Kiddo!”
“Cheryn was wonderful! So kind, attentive, and caring. She sent lots of pics of my pup and regular updates. My pup loved staying with her, and I felt comforted knowing she was in good hands and having fun!”
“Mary was amazing!! She was so easy to contact and she sent pictures and updates about my dog Max that stayed with her. He seemed to have a great time and he got along with her dog as well. Will definitely contact her again! 😊”
“Where do I begin? OK so I’ve never been able to get anyone to keep out Skye because she isn’t people friendly. My best friends come to the house and have been coming to the house since I got our dog and the amount of time she has tried to attack them is insane. It has been very difficult to travel and find someone that can deal with her. A while back I use Rover when she was younger, and after about an hour, she calmed down and allowed the person to watch her. So now that our dog is much older, ehhh it’s worse. So knowing that I needed to take a vacation for eight days, I had no hope. I did not know what to do with her. So I jumped on Rover and went through all the options. I seen Ben’s name five times and kept passing it up, but God kept sending me back to his name. Honestly, it was a reason why. I contacted Ben and begin to have a conversation with him and naturally, I kept getting the aura that he was the right person for our Skye. Oh boy was I correct. On the day of drop off, I was super nervous for Ben. I warned him a lot of times that she may try to attack him and to just be prepared and be patient. He has nothing but patience. He believed in his ability to be able to handle her before he even met her. His calm presence is nothing short of amazing. So when we arrive to his home, I slowly took Skye out out of the car and began to walk to Ben. I’m not going to lie, I was extremely nervous. Skye sniffed around his yard with no aggression and not one time tried to attack Ben. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Been allowed her to freely come to him. He calmly greeted her and instantaneously, they bonded. This is something that has never been able to take place with my Skye. For this, I am giving him 1 million stars. If you have a pup that is full of anxiety and it’s always snapping at people, I promise you, if you select Ben to be your caretaker, you will never regret it. I truly appreciate you. I really really do. He sent pictures, gave me updates, and never once made me feel like I was a burden with asking questions.”
“This is the first time Lynn kept Freddie for us and it was during the Christmas Holiday. She has always been communicative and also provided many videos and pics of Fred. We could tell he was well cared for. He is an active dog with a strong desire for fetch and she engaged him. Definitely will call her again soon. Thank you!”
“Jon was absolutely amazing with our pups.. he would send photos on a daily in addition to providing our old man his meds. We understand that our younger pup has some issues getting along with others but he was able to keep the peace with all the pups and that's a bit of a feat because she can be ALOT. Our littles were happy to come home but looked just as they did when we left them, plump and happy! We will absolutely be using Jon again for our next vacation!!”
“Liz was able to watch our kitty on short notice for the holidays. Love how well she kept us updated and sent lots of picture to give us peace of mind our fur baby was in good hands. Highly recommend Liz!!”
“Katherine and Ethan took wonderful care of our large lab George while we were away for almost a week. Their two dogs kept George busy and provided plenty of company. We look forward to leaving our large fur baby with them in the future!”
“Iryna is fantastic. I could tell immediately that she and her family love animals. Her pup was super sweet when we arrived, so that was a bonus. This was our first time booking with Iryna, which I can find a little stressful. I had nothing to worry about bc she put me at ease immediately. She had great communication throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with plenty of pictures. She noticed a wound on our pup that we weren’t aware of, cleaned and treated it, and let us know right away. We also had a last minute medication request for a separate issue, and she was incredibly accommodating without hesitation. It was clear that she cared for our guy like he was her own. We would absolutely book with Iryna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter. - Diana (and Roy)”
“Chayanne was amazing! Huey who is normally very shy, instantly felt at home. He had a nice relaxing weekend napping with Missy. Will definitely use again!”
“We’ve tried a number of sitters in New Orleans and Regina was the best by far. She sent consistent and detailed updates along with photos, without even being asked which gave us so much comfort. Theo didn’t even seem like he wanted to leave when I picked him up! We will absolutely be using Regina to watch Theo in the future. We recommend her 10/10 times!”
“Julia is a fantastic dog sitter. We felt SO comfortable leaving our dog with her. She has two dogs of her own so she very clearly “gets it” and she went above and beyond to make us feel like Duke was in good hands.”
“Melissa’s care was amazing for my two dogs. She loved them as if they were her own. She took the time to ask all the questions needed to make sure they would get the best care for their needs. She sent photos and updates throughout their visit. Great in home dog sitter!! I feel lucky to know I have someone to trust my babies with.”
“Serena was incredible. She was very responsive, flexible to some of my last minute schedule changes, and really sweet with my dogs. I have zero complaints and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Anna has watched my dogs a few times now. She is always very quick to respond and a great communicator when it comes to organizing drop offs and pick ups. If the dogs could talk, they would confirm they have a good time when staying with Anna!”

“Loved having Doc watch over Bing during my time out! She’s literally the only person I’d trust to watch over my cat. Moving from out of state it can be tough to find a reliable and trustworthy person to help out while I’m gone, so I’m super grateful and for it working out this way. Thanks again!”
“Communicative and super loving to our cat while we were gone for two weeks. Any time there was an issue (of which there were just a few that were our fault), Deana came and helped resolve immediately. Highly recommend if you need someone to look after your furry ones!”
“Celeste was so sweet! We felt very comfortable having her watch our cat while we were out of town. She was super accommodating and we loved the photos that she sent us. We will definitely book with Celeste again.”
“Can’t recommend Ellen enough! She was communicative and loving towards my cats-I travelled with such peace of mind knowing they would be so cared for. Will definitely re-book.”
“Cody took such great care of my cats while I was gone! I had to take one of my cats to the vet the day before vacation and he needed antibiotics twice daily. Cody was able to help me out with short notice and allowed me to have a stress free vacation and sent updates with each check in! Even my cat that is normally not a people person warmed up to them some! I cannot recommend Cody enough!”
“Very attentive! Sent us lots of photos and detailed updates on our boy Meech each day we were gone. Meech seemed to really enjoy Carly’s company and I’m very grateful we had Carly to check on him! I recommend!”
“Ethan is such caring and attentive pet sitter. He really went above and beyond during his time with Penny and really made me feel at ease during his visit. We will definitely be booking again and recommending to others!”
“Ebony is so rare. They update and take care of your dog and cat like they were their own. I’m so grateful to have someone get to know my dog’s personality and be patient with them while I was away. It makes travel and being away more enjoyable knowing they are in good hands. Appreciate it more than you know. Mary Louise”
“We always know that our dear old Wylean (with a feeding tube and very complicated medicines and watering) are in ideal hands with Nycole. She is absolutely amazing!”
“Brittany was very dependable and checked in on my cat every day. She also brought our packages inside when we were out of town. I definitely recommend booking for any of your pet sitting needs!! 😊”
“Faith took great care of my two senior cats while I was away. She also brought in mail/packages and provided great communication. I would not hesitate to use her again!”
About: I've had cats my entire life, and they have always been my favorite animal. As a cat mom myself, I've cared for cats with every personality imaginable: playful, timid, independent, clingy, mischievous, and everything in between. I've never met a cat I didn't love. I also know that cats are on their own timeline, and I respect that. Building trust takes patience, so I always prioritize your cat's comfort over anything else. That means no forced pets or playtime if they're not interested. I'm just as happy to quietly keep them company until they're ready to say hello. I've raised cats from kittenhood through adulthood and have experience caring for cats with different personalities and needs. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away.
“Laine is awesome! She took great care of my cats and went above and beyond what I asked her to do. I loved all the pictures she added of the cats during her visits so I could see how they were doing!”
About: I started dog-sitting in college. I've taken care of blind senior dogs, puppies, adult dogs, not to mention guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, turtles...the list goes on!! I work from home, so I can take my laptop anywhere! I do have a strict work schedule, but it doesn't matter where I am. I treat my pets like they're my kids, so your pets would be like my nieces and nephews...lots of fun but I'll give 'em back!! When dog-sitting in your home, I try to leave everything just as you left it.
“Marlena is professional, responsible, prompt and efficient. She’s also very nice and our cat Rufus loves her. When she came to return our house key, he jumped off the windowsill and ran up to her. He never does that for us! 😃”
“Elizabeth was amazing! My skittish cats warmed up to her right away. She played with them & gave them extra treats. They’re very good motivated, so they’ll love her forever. Next time I’m out of time I’ll definitely call Elizabeth again”

“It can be hard to find sitters willing to help with challenging dogs, and I have a very sweet pup who, unfortunately, has some separation anxiety that means she can’t be left home alone at this point. Julia agreed to watch her for some daycare while my husband and I attended a family birthday party, and she also was great about setting up a Meet and Greet about a week beforehand so that Sable could be introduced to Julia and her own pups. Julia sent pictures and updates while we were away, and I appreciated her honesty when I asked how Sable did. It seems as though Sable was only mildly embarrassing and didn’t put Julia through too much hassle, so I’m very grateful to have someone trustworthy and kind to leave my pup with! Thank you so much!”
“Liz was a SUPER sitter for our girls! She had a few other dogs who she was also watching, which made me feel very comfortable - because that indicated others felt she was ALSO a great sitter! We will be re-booking her for tomorrow (Thanksgiving) - and will definitely keep her on our sitter list for when we travel to New Orleans.”
“Beth has a true natural gift with pups! I’ve never seen Louis as happy as he is when he heads off to her—his whole face lights up, tail wagging a mile a minute. It’s such a relief and joy to know he’s in such caring, capable hands. Thank you, Beth, for taking such wonderful care of my boy. We think you’re the best and feel so lucky to have found you! 🐾❤️”
“Olivia is great with Artemis! We never have to worry about our pup when she’s with her. She always sends us photos of our girl and keeps us updated on how she’s doing throughout the day. Artie loves going to her house now and gets so excited to see her. She always responds as soon as possible to any questions or concerns we may have and is so flexible with our schedule. Being a bartender, it’s nice to know I can leave my dog with someone who will take care of her when I work long hours. Thank you Olivia!”
“Katherine and Ethan were extremely responsive, kind, and flexible when we left our Siberian Husky, Charlie, with them for doggie daycare. Their dogs, Gus and Brady, wore Charlie out, and Charlie is psyched to spend more time with all of them.”
“I just moved to New Orleans and work very long hours. I won’t leave my dog alone for extended periods and I’m so grateful I found Ellen. Waylon fit in so well with her pups and absolutely loved his day with Ellen and her crew. I loved all the updates I got from Ellen throughout the day; I knew my pup was in good hands and was treated just like one of her own. Waylon has been passed out on the couch since we’ve gotten back from Ellen’s. I would not hesitate to go back and use her services again, and I highly recommend her to anyone in the area to look after your fur babies.”
“Emily was so awesome and accommodating!! I will be booking again. She sent me pictures all day and that made me feel safe with her truly. It’s hard to leave your fur baby but she made it easy. 💕 book with Emily, your dog will be so happy.”
“She was great! My dog needed a sitter for the day and she had no problems at all Cheyanne sent update pictures, had friends to play with, and was super happy way dropping off and picking up! Will definitely be returning!”
“Pearl Bear seemed to have a wonderful time with Michael! This was our first time using Rover, and Michael really put us at ease. His location is also as convenient as can be for exploring the French Quarter. Drop off and Pick up where a breeze! Thank you so much Michael!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs at every life stage, from puppies to seniors, with a variety of breeds and temperaments. Right now, I have a small breed senior who is still fairly active. Please use the following link for $20 off your first booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/jonatb76705 I am typically at home, have a flexible schedule, and am available for drop-offs on short notice. Just let me know how I can assist! Your dog will have free range of the living areas, with regular supervised visits to the enclosed backyard, and walked twice daily or as often as requested.
About: I have welcomed dogs into my family for the past 25 years living in New Orleans, and have loved caring for them as they have certainly cared for me too! I work from home most days of the week and am rarely gone for more than a few hours for in-person meetings. I provide lots of walks along the greenway and time in my fenced yard too. I have toys for stimulation such as puzzles and can play hide and seek with toys, treats, and me! I am happy to continue implementing your schedule and use your key words and phrases to maintain training while your pup is with me. I also enjoy taking my dog Conor to City Bark where he plays with other dogs and gets a nice bath. I am happy to bring your dog there too if they are able to go. I work from home and occasionally take meetings out of my house. Those usually are not more than a few hours. Once a week I go into my office from 8-4 but come home at lunch to walk my dog Conor. I have three boys that are in school who live with me every other week. I do a school drop off and pick up every other week for one of them around 7:15 am and again around 3:00 pm. I keep my dog on a predictable schedule of feeding and walks and provide toys for stimulation. I always keep fresh water available both inside and outside so that they are not dehydrated.
“Very happy! Will use Ashley again for my next trip to New Orleans! She updated me with pictures and made me feel more comfortable leaving Charlie for the day! Thank you so much!”
About: We are a small family with a super friendly lab-hound mix named Charlie. Charlie loves to play with other dogs and is generous with his space and toys. Our six-year-old daughter loves meeting new animals, too. Our home is fenced all around so the dogs have a circle run as well as the backyard and front porch to play and relax. We travel and have used Rover for our dog and we’re happy to be on the other side hosting and caring for your pet. I have volunteer experience with multiple animal shelters and experience caring for both healthy pets and animals with special needs. The other side of our double shotgun is currently unoccupied so we have additional space to separate dogs if need be.
“Melissa is the exact kind of person you can trust leaving your fur baby with. I felt very comfortable at her spacious tidy place and I know my puppy did too. She took him outside nearly every hour since he’s only 3 months. She sent updates with pictures and was flexible with pick up time since it was a group event I was attending. I will definitely request Melissa next time I’m in or around Berkeley :)”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I usually watch just one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.
“Wendy took such great care of my puppy. As a new pet owner, Wendy put my mind at ease and made sure I was comfortable and that Daisy felt safe and had a great time. I loved the updates and could tell Daisy didn’t miss me at all because she was having so much fun. We’ll definitely be back!”
“My husband Emile and I were very pleased and grateful for the care that Damaris and Jose’ provided our Emma! You can tell that they are animal lovers and treated her like their own! They have a lovely home and yard and sent pictures and videos of her stay. In the past, Emma has been cared for by family members. It’s nice to know that we have someone else turn to!”
“We seriously cannot recommend Madison enough. She was absolutely incredible with our boys! She made us so at ease when visiting from out of town and even got our senior dog to play 🥹 She went above and beyond with her updates & photos and I truly know they were so loved with her. Thank you so much Madison, our new go-to New Orleans sitter!!”
“Evlin was Great! She took great care of my dog Dutch. She sent pictures daily and made sure he had plenty of attention. I would definitely use her service again.”

About: I have pet sat cats and dogs (as well as various reptiles and birds) of all different ages. I have 4 cats and a snake of my own with one cat that takes daily medication. I have fostered cats and assisted in senior pet care (dogs and cats). I also trained 2 of my cats and when we had dogs, I also trained them. I am very experienced with administering medication and caring for pets of different ages! I am happy to take care of your other pets (reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and rodents) in addition to your cats and/or dogs:) Three of my cats are fed twice a day, and my elderly cat gets 4 small meals. I work from home so am able to give my cats plenty of attention. I am fairly flexible with my routine and can easily check in on your pet(s) and walk them 2-3 times a day except on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Those days I have to be physically at my job so I can only check on your pet(s) in the mornings before 11am and afternoons after 4pm. My cats are treated as equal family members and have a wide range of enrichment within our house: cat trees, toys, a screened in porch, and forage puzzles. Our elderly cat is on daily medication and is showered with compliments (she is a queen and she knows it!) . I spend time every day playing with all of my cats and snuggling them as much as they like. I am incredibly gentle with animals and respect their space. I try my best to maintain a clean, stress-free environment at home and in the homes I pet sit for. I know how stressful it can be for a pet to meet someone new, so I always move at their speed and respect their comfort. Your pet's safety and trust are a top priority, and I will treat them with the care I give my own cats.
“Lindsey went above and beyond to take care of Wells while I was out of town. She is a total rockstar. I cannot recommend Lindsey enough. Thank you so so much!!!”
About: I have hands on experience with dog walking, house sitting, and cat sitting, and I’ve also had dogs of my own, giving me a strong understanding of daily care, routines, and pet behavior. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail oriented, making sure your pet stays on their routine and feels comfortable at home. I provide updates, follow instructions closely, and prioritize your pet’s safety and well being at all times. I’m currently a nursing student working part time, but I have a flexible schedule and make time for pet care. With summer break coming up, I’ll have significantly more availability and flexibility throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and house sitting. I can accommodate more daytime care during the summer. I’m reliable with scheduling and make sure your pet gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I have experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of proper introductions, routines, and supervision. I will always follow your pet’s routine closely. In a client’s home, I’m respectful, attentive, and make sure your pet feels secure and cared for while you’re away.
About: My family has had at least one dog in our house since I was born. Everybody in my family has dogs. I have a few family members that rely on me to help them with their dogs when they need it. Everyone in my family treats their pets like they are humans and I do just the same! I am currently in between jobs so I’m available pretty much whenever. I do have my own dog at home so I prefer to not stay somewhere for a long, extended period of time. I am pretty flexible with that though so just ask me and I’ll let you know if it’s doable! I have a fenced in yard. I have a 14 year old rescue that just mainly stays to herself. There is a 1 year old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix now living here as well, under the care of someone else that’s not me, however she is very rambunctious with other dogs. I do not mind walking them around the neighborhood. In my family, we treat our dogs like they are humans and they are like our children!
“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!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have owned cats, dogs, birds, turtles, fish, and even a bearded dragon. I have experience with house sitting, dog walking, and some boarding, and I've also volunteered at local animal rescues, walking and caring for dogs and cats. As a cat mom to Suki and Sherbert, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and deserves personalized care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I've always believed animals have a great sense of character, and I love earning their trust and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I am a full-time remote worker, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the day. If you're located nearby, I am available for frequent check-ins, feedings, walks, and playtime. If you're farther away, I can often spend my workday at your home, as long as there is internet access, so your pets can have extra companionship and care. I am also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pet's routine whenever possible. I know that pets feel safest when their routines are maintained, so I prioritize following your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific care needs. I am comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and routines, including crate-trained dogs, high-energy pets, senior pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. I always make sure doors, gates, and surroundings are secure, and I treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want for my own.
About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire adulthood. Animals are angels on earth and truly part of what makes life so special. I don’t trust just anyone with my own fur baby, so I understand how stressful it can be to find someone to care for them when you need to travel or work extended hours. My entire family has dogs and I occasionally pet sit for relatives or friends who need it, so I figured I could do that more consistently to help others as well. I am between jobs and exploring what comes next, so I’m available all the time to love and care for your pups while you are at work or on vacation. I have a fenced backyard that pups can run around in. I am liberal with giving treats, but will absolutely respect and follow what your dog’s feeding and treat needs are. I love engaging with pups and learning their personalities, so they won’t be ignored in any way while they are with me. Senior dogs are welcome.
“Elizabeth was a fantastic babysitter our big golden retriever pup while we were out of town. She was in constant contact with us, sent plenty of pictures and updates about their romps, meal breaks, water breaks etc. And she kept the house spotless. I will most definitely use her services again. Thanks Elizabeth!”
About: I have always lived with dogs since I was a small child. The last 8 years I have been house/dog sitting for a retired couple with multiple dogs. This past May I lost my 16 year old rat terrier- broke my heart. Shortly after a relative asked me to keep his chocolate lab for a week and I loved it. I miss having a dog at the house! I work full time currently from home until COVID pandemic is over. My office is 10 minutes away from home- lunch visits to the house would be made on days needed. I own my own home with a fenced in yard next door to a empty lot. I have no children do it would be just me at the house.
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.

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.

About: Over the past year and a half, I’ve fostered multiple dogs and cats through Palm Beach Animal Care and Control and Peggy Adams, along with participating in many doggy day out programs. This has given me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I’m flexible and able to plan my schedule around walks, feedings, and check-ins.

“Carly has been so wonderful. She genuinely cares for my dog like her own, and he absolutely loves her. She is in tune with his needs, attentive to details and his health, and goes above and beyond to give him the best possible care and companionship. I would 100% recommend her!”

“Where do I begin? OK so I’ve never been able to get anyone to keep out Skye because she isn’t people friendly. My best friends come to the house and have been coming to the house since I got our dog and the amount of time she has tried to attack them is insane. It has been very difficult to travel and find someone that can deal with her. A while back I use Rover when she was younger, and after about an hour, she calmed down and allowed the person to watch her. So now that our dog is much older, ehhh it’s worse. So knowing that I needed to take a vacation for eight days, I had no hope. I did not know what to do with her. So I jumped on Rover and went through all the options. I seen Ben’s name five times and kept passing it up, but God kept sending me back to his name. Honestly, it was a reason why. I contacted Ben and begin to have a conversation with him and naturally, I kept getting the aura that he was the right person for our Skye. Oh boy was I correct. On the day of drop off, I was super nervous for Ben. I warned him a lot of times that she may try to attack him and to just be prepared and be patient. He has nothing but patience. He believed in his ability to be able to handle her before he even met her. His calm presence is nothing short of amazing. So when we arrive to his home, I slowly took Skye out out of the car and began to walk to Ben. I’m not going to lie, I was extremely nervous. Skye sniffed around his yard with no aggression and not one time tried to attack Ben. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Been allowed her to freely come to him. He calmly greeted her and instantaneously, they bonded. This is something that has never been able to take place with my Skye. For this, I am giving him 1 million stars. If you have a pup that is full of anxiety and it’s always snapping at people, I promise you, if you select Ben to be your caretaker, you will never regret it. I truly appreciate you. I really really do. He sent pictures, gave me updates, and never once made me feel like I was a burden with asking questions.”
“Jon was absolutely amazing with our pups.. he would send photos on a daily in addition to providing our old man his meds. We understand that our younger pup has some issues getting along with others but he was able to keep the peace with all the pups and that's a bit of a feat because she can be ALOT. Our littles were happy to come home but looked just as they did when we left them, plump and happy! We will absolutely be using Jon again for our next vacation!!”
“Katherine and Ethan took wonderful care of our large lab George while we were away for almost a week. Their two dogs kept George busy and provided plenty of company. We look forward to leaving our large fur baby with them in the future!”
“Iryna is fantastic. I could tell immediately that she and her family love animals. Her pup was super sweet when we arrived, so that was a bonus. This was our first time booking with Iryna, which I can find a little stressful. I had nothing to worry about bc she put me at ease immediately. She had great communication throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with plenty of pictures. She noticed a wound on our pup that we weren’t aware of, cleaned and treated it, and let us know right away. We also had a last minute medication request for a separate issue, and she was incredibly accommodating without hesitation. It was clear that she cared for our guy like he was her own. We would absolutely book with Iryna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter. - Diana (and Roy)”
“Chayanne was amazing! Huey who is normally very shy, instantly felt at home. He had a nice relaxing weekend napping with Missy. Will definitely use again!”
“We’ve tried a number of sitters in New Orleans and Regina was the best by far. She sent consistent and detailed updates along with photos, without even being asked which gave us so much comfort. Theo didn’t even seem like he wanted to leave when I picked him up! We will absolutely be using Regina to watch Theo in the future. We recommend her 10/10 times!”
“Julia is a fantastic dog sitter. We felt SO comfortable leaving our dog with her. She has two dogs of her own so she very clearly “gets it” and she went above and beyond to make us feel like Duke was in good hands.”
“Anna has watched my dogs a few times now. She is always very quick to respond and a great communicator when it comes to organizing drop offs and pick ups. If the dogs could talk, they would confirm they have a good time when staying with Anna!”
“Natalie took great care of our dog Taz and provided lots of updates. I could tell in the pictures that Taz was so happy and it was a relief that he was in good hands. Thank you Natalie, you’re a life saver!”
“My whole experience with Madison was wonderful from the beginning to the end. She was incredibly quick to schedule with and very easy to locate. She sent daily updates of Rosie Posie having the time of her life from playing in the back yard, walking the neighborhood, or getting cozy with the humans of the house inside. I am thoroughly impressed with Madison’s amount of quality time spent with my pet and will definitely be using her again in the near future.”
About: I have welcomed dogs into my family for the past 25 years living in New Orleans, and have loved caring for them as they have certainly cared for me too! I work from home most days of the week and am rarely gone for more than a few hours for in-person meetings. I provide lots of walks along the greenway and time in my fenced yard too. I have toys for stimulation such as puzzles and can play hide and seek with toys, treats, and me! I am happy to continue implementing your schedule and use your key words and phrases to maintain training while your pup is with me. I also enjoy taking my dog Conor to City Bark where he plays with other dogs and gets a nice bath. I am happy to bring your dog there too if they are able to go. I work from home and occasionally take meetings out of my house. Those usually are not more than a few hours. Once a week I go into my office from 8-4 but come home at lunch to walk my dog Conor. I have three boys that are in school who live with me every other week. I do a school drop off and pick up every other week for one of them around 7:15 am and again around 3:00 pm. I keep my dog on a predictable schedule of feeding and walks and provide toys for stimulation. I always keep fresh water available both inside and outside so that they are not dehydrated.
“Ashley was fantastic with my dog, Neon. She made sure he was well integrated with the other dogs and gave him plenty of individual attention, including lots of games of fetch—one of his favorite things. She also kept a close eye on him to make sure he didn’t get overheated during the New Orleans summer heat. I loved that she had a kiddie pool in the backyard so the dogs could cool off while playing. Ashley was easy to coordinate with, communicative, and made the whole experience stress-free. It was clear Neon had a wonderful vacation while I was on mine. I’d absolutely book with Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”
About: Hi! I’m Tay, equal parts responsible adult and dog hype person. I’m the type to send you update pictures like your dog just graduated college. Whether your pup is energetic, anxious, clingy, goofy, or convinced they own the house, I adjust to their vibe quickly. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love animals, but I also understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big deal. Your pet will get plenty of attention, care, walks, playtime, and probably a few compliments they don’t deserve. I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, from couch potato cuddle experts to dogs training for the Dog Olympics. I’ll follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests carefully. Bonus: your dog can vent to me about you while you’re gone, and I legally cannot tell you what they said. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! 🐾 I work from home, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, supervision, and company throughout the day. I’m available for daytime care, walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, medication schedules, and all the “throw the toy again immediately” requests your dog may have. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves nonstop attention or prefers a calm nap buddy nearby, I can accommodate their needs throughout the day. I live in a very nice open spaced 2 bedroom house with a fenced yard and hardwood floors. I have a yard with lots of room for animals to play and enjoy themselves.
“Roxanne was very quick to respond and was a pleasure to work with. My Shepard, Roxy had so much fun running and playing. She took Roxy to the beach! Thank you for watching Roxy and allowing us our time away.”
“My pup’s nearly 3 week stay with Bayleigh and her dog Jacks was beyond perfect. I have a young, high energy 100lb dog that Bayleigh did such a great job watching. Without a doubt, she went above and beyond to ensure he was cared for, exercised and mentally fulfilled. She also communicated extremely well and regularly shared pictures.”
“Etta is great with Riley! I’ve got a German Shepherd and it was really important to me to board with someone who is familiar with them. Etta is very in tune with the animals she watches and really knows her stuff with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving Riley with her.”
