About: Growing up, my favorite place in the entire world was my grandparents' farm, where they trained Hungarian hunting dogs to compete in gun dog competitions and kennel club shows. (They've even had a pup win the Sporting Group title at the Westminster Dog Show!) There was absolutely nothing better as a kid than running free in the paddock with 10 dogs zooming all around, living out their puppiest dreams. Plus, watching their dogs bring home blue ribbons and trophies, I grew a deep appreciation for how intelligent and hard-working our canine companions can be, and how important it is to listen to and observe what they are telling us through body language, verbal cues, and other dog behavior that helps us understand each other. Although our dogs at home were never quite as well-trained as my grandparents' dogs, we always had two of our own to love and play with after their professional careers were over. Today I am a proud dog mom to a Husky, Catahoula, Pitty mutt! I would love to spend a long weekend with your pup, giving us plenty of time for adventures. We will play fetch or tug, go for long walks, and do lots of snuggling! My most highly valued priorities are safety, transparency, and strong communication! While staying hydrated and fed are the bare minimum, I also want every pet to get to play every day!

“Bianca was extremely communicative and attentive to our cats’ needs. She gave them lots of love and affection and shared detailed updates along the way. I would be happy to leave my pets in her care any day.”
“Absolutely fantastic. Did everything exactly as my cats needed and handled them with the best care possible. Was able to book with her on relatively short notice, and she was extremely professional. My cats couldn’t have been in better hands. I would absolutely book again.”
“I hope I did this correctly. I’m trying to add a tip. Off it didn’t come through, please let me know. Whenever I’m out of town, it is so comforting to know that Mimi and Diesel are being cared for by you.”
“Deana is the best! I was super nervous leaving my cat alone for the first time. She was patient with the two days of my cat hiding and kept me reassured that my cat would warm up… and she did. She is definitely my official cat watcher person!”
About: I grew up with a stray cat who was mostly an outdoor cat. In my early adulthood, I started taking care of friend's cats and enjoyed learning all their different personalities. I now have 3 cats of my own. I look forward to taking care of yours!
“Sarah is a true rockstar, and we feel so lucky we can count on her while we’re traveling. Plus, the boys just love her! I wish I could give her even more stars!”
“Kathryn is so attentive and detail oriented (: she will leave detailed cards and give you great communication. She definitely gave me ease while my family and I needed someone to watch the cats!”
“Skyler was great taking care of my cat while away on vacation. She was thorough with feeding and taking care of his litter box. In addition, provided updates/communication throughout the time I was away.”
“Caitlin was so great! She was flexible and responsive leading up to the visit and sent me lots of pictures of my furry boy during her drop in. I can tell she did more than just refill the food bowl and clean the litter box— she spent some time giving my cat some much-needed attention and making him feel loved while I was gone. What more could I ask for? :)”
“Cristina is such a great sitter for our cat Calvin! This was our second time using her and she always gives us great updates on how Calvin is doing while we are away. Would reccommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and awesome sitter!”
“Cody provided exceptional pet-sitting services for our two cats (Betty & Judy) during our holiday trip. Cody sent daily photos and updates, was punctual with the visits, and showed genuine care for Betty and Judy's well-being. Cody's reliability and attention to detail gave us complete peace of mind while away. I highly recommend Cody and will book again the next time we're out of town!”
“Took care of our babies while we were out of town, played with them and gave such peace of mind that they were okay so we could enjoy our travels.”
“Alaina is the best!! She was super flexible and able to watch our cat for a weekend with pretty short notice. She took great care of our kitty, she sent lots of photos and it was so nice to have peace of mind while we were out of town. We will absolutely be booking with her in the future!”
“E was FANTASTIC with our two kittens. I was so worried leaving them for the first time but E sent daily pics and updates which really eased our minds. Couldn’t recommend more!”
“Sarah was great!! This was the second time she watched our pets (1 dog, 2 cats and a fish). She checked in on them multiple times a day, sent us updates, and followed the detailed notes we left her. We felt like they were in such great hands that we could actually enjoy our trip without worrying about if they were getting the care we needed. We'll definitely book Sarah next time we travel!”
“Simon was a phenomenal caretaker for my guy Cornelius. Checked in and out with every visit, communicated amazingly throughout the entire time. He definitely has a knack for taking great doggo pics. Was also able to accommodate a last minute booking and extension of service due to travel delays. Highly recommend booking with him if you want someone caring about your dogs much as you do while you’re not there!”
“Thank you for checking in on Moss. He was well fed and cared for while I was traveling. He was happy to have me home, but wasn’t acting like he had been neglected while I was gone. You are the best Elizabeth!”
“Faith was great with my four cats! Even the one who hides all the time she made sure he had his food. Twice a day feedings and litter maintenance. Will for sure request her again!”

“Emily is absolutely amazing. She is the only person I bring Petey to when I will be out of town and need someone to take care of him or when I need to drop him off for the day! She is really great with all dogs and her animals are super friendly and accepting. She also takes plenty pictures and gives updates via rover and text regularly. She is the only person I trust with my pup!”
About: I was raised with pets and have had a dog for over 30 years. Zara is my new sweetheart she's a shepherd husky mix and she's a year and a half old. I will only be dog sitting or dog boarding for ONE PUP at a time to give the utmost personalized attention.🐶♥️ I am retired and at this time I'm only offering drop off daycare and boarding Thursday through Sunday... We will only be outside in the cooler times of the day and can use the sprinkler if you allow. Your dog will be allowed on the couch and I am very good with giving specialized feeding as my dog has some healthy add-ons for her kibble daily. Again I will only be offering boarding and drop off dog sitting in my house... Thursday through Sunday personalized care for your dog only ♥️
“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!”
“Evlin took wonderful care of my Bichon, Chance. He was happy to see us at the end of the day, but he was relaxed with Evlin and her dog Juicy. She checked in with photos and texts, which made me feel better about leaving him. She totally deserves her five-star rating, and I recommend her w/o reservation.”
“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!”
About: I am an artist and dog owner with experience working as a private dog sitter for the past 10 years. I love animals immensely, and am so excited to meet yours! Every dog I get to greet is a gift, and I treat them as such. Through my own experience as a dog owner, and diverse experience with other dogs, I get to bring a lot to these new situations. I know how vital calmness can be, and keep myself patient. I know every dog is different, so please share everything you can about your animal and all their quirks! Getting to interact with animals is so much fun and so fulfilling, I wish to spend more of my time doing it when I can. I primarily work from home. I am available for caretaking and walks throughout the week/end and evenings, and can housesit your fur baby as needed. I like to keep the care of your pet as close as possible to their normal routine, so please keep that information clearly written out if possible, or we can talk through it together.
“Michael was awesome with Merlo. Communication was great and he was able to accommodate our changing schedule. I was a little nervous leaving Merlo with a new friend, but Michael was excellent and I highly recommend him. If we're ever back in New Orleans we will certainly visit him again!”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m a dedicated dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. As the owner of a Golden Retriever, I have hands-on daily experience with exercise needs, routines, leash walking, playtime, and providing loving attention. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy during our time together. Whether your dog is energetic and needs an active walk or prefers a slower pace, I can adjust to their needs and personality. I also understand the importance of communication and will keep you updated so you feel confident while your pet is in my care. Every boarding includes: * Personalized care based on your dog’s routine * Regular photo and video updates * Frequent walks and potty breaks * A personalized end-of-stay report summarizing your dog’s meals, walks, behavior, and overall experience Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a university instructor with a flexible schedule, I have the flexibility to provide frequent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I care for every dog as an individual, following their normal routine as closely as possible while providing regular photo updates and a personalized boarding summary at the end of each stay. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I care for every dog as an individual by following their normal feeding, potty, exercise, and sleep routines as closely as possible. I require proof of current rabies vaccination before boarding to help maintain a safe environment for every pet in my home. I provide regular photo and video updates throughout each stay so you can have peace of mind while you’re away, and every boarding concludes with a personalized summary of your dog’s stay. My goal is to create a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family.
“Oshie treated Miles like family during his visit! We received pictures of him throughout the day and we knew he was in good hands right from the start! Oshie was a lovely and gracious host all around! When we inevitably visit New Orleans again, we will definitely be reaching out again! Thank you so much!”
“Always great to bring Hazel to Jessica. I never doubt or worry if Hazel is having a good time. And for spa day I never doubt that Hazel will come back clean and smelling great! Best Dog sitter my dog ever experienced!”
“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!”
“Laura is absolutely amazing!! She was very easy to communicate with and my dog Blue Belle had the most amazing time playing with Laura’s pups. I got photos throughout the day and Laura made me feel super comfortable while my dog was in her care. Very grateful for her- and will definitely be using her services again!!”
“Elizabeth was so sweet!! She made sure Moose was safe and gave him all the time he wanted to explore! He was only there for a short time but I would trust Elizabeth with him for much longer! She was a great find!”
About: I pet sit because I want to, not because I need to💜. I live on the trail and have a small yard! It’s a passion of mine to be around your pets. As the the oldest of 5 much younger siblings and a former professional nanny, I am a natural caregiver! Now, I am an independent hairstylist that works for myself, and as an animal lover, I have naturally become many of my clients trusted go-to pet sitter, especially for in house vacation pet sitting. I am highly trained as a former animal foster (including the bottle babies that require so much attention and responsibility) and as a professional care giver. I also grew up with non-traditional critters including, but not limited to, hedgehogs, salamanders, iguanas, guinea pigs, gerbils, etc. so I’m cool with whatever you throw at me! LGBTQ+ friendly!! I work for myself part time as a hairstylist. I make my own hours so it is very easy to not schedule on the days I am needed or to schedule large breaks in between. As a former nanny and elder millennial (lol) I am very responsible first! I always double check leashes, harnesses, doors, etc so you can leave your home feeling great with your guys in my hands. At my clients home, I very much like to follow their rules and instructions to the detail. I keep a photo and/or list of all instructions on my phone and a physical copy in my car. At my own home, I like to listen to what my clients feel comfortable with and follow that as discussed with them. I do like their pets to feel like I’m their loving grandma- they always get extra love and long walks when I come to see them!
About: I've taken care of dogs since having my first dog at 6 years old. I love dogs and treat every fur baby like my own. Your pet will be in great care with me! I currently have open availability so any time is great to take care of your pups! I have plenty of time to play with your pups, even on weekends. I have 2 dog parks at my apartment complex. I will always make sure to keep a short distance between me and your pup. Safety is my #1 priority.
About: Hi! We’re Noah & Roberto, a reliable and caring dog-sitting team based in Mid-City, New Orleans. We treat every dog like family and have years of experience, 50+ dogs.

We understand the needs of small breeds, energetic puppies, and dogs who love routines. One of us works from home full-time, which means your dog will never be left alone for long periods. The other has a flexible schedule, so we’re able to coordinate walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention throughout the day. We offer dog sitting, daycare, and boarding, and we’re happy to follow your dog’s specific routine — whether that’s crate time, medication, special diets, or extra walks. We also provide regular updates and photos so you always feel connected and confident. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are our top priorities. We’d love to meet you and your pup! Pet care fits seamlessly into our daily routine. One of us works from home full-time, so pets are rarely left alone and always have supervision, companionship, and timely care. The other has a flexible schedule, allowing us to share responsibilities like walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. We follow each dog’s home routine as closely as possible — including feeding schedules, walk frequency, crate preferences, and any special instructions.

“Lindsay is incredible. Our pup loved her as do I. I trust her as does my pup. She was mindful of a meniscus issue that my girl has by allowing her to dictate a much shorter walk, and instead Lindsay stayed with her for the remainder of the scheduled time to love and play with her inside. She thoughtfully filled her water bowl before leaving, and sent me a the most wonderful pictures of their time together. I will be scheduling a weekly standing with her.”
“I highly recommend Ginny.Ginny is awesome!!!!! Petunia my stubborn little Shih Tzu hates everybody, but when Ginny comes in to walk her, she goes up to her immediately and rubs on Ginny like a cat❤️🐶 Ginny is very nice, consistent and on time very reliable and most importantly Petunia loves her! When she comes back from the walk, Petunia is calm ,relaxed and tired👍 Thank you so much Ginny I don’t know what I would do without you!!!❤️🐶 Michelle”
“Can't thank Michelle enough for helping out with our golden retriever. Michelle started coming over 2 weeks ago three days a week to walk our girl Phoebe and she has been incredible. Very flexible to our dogs needs, sends detailed updates on how the visit/walk went, and is very responsive to communication. Highly recommend her to anyone and hope to continue her services for a long time. Thanks Michelle!”
“Deana was great! Such a savior on a busy day for a last minute walk for my dog! She was a great communicator and was very flexible. Would definitely book more recurrent walks with her!”
“Gave Oatmeal lots of love and attention! Was right on time for their walk, and even gave her extra attention back home. She was automatically comfortable with Alaina!”
About: I have 2 dogs, a boxer named Goose that is a rescue and a lemon beagle. I love all animals and I will treat your dog or cat like it’s my own. I have a very flexible schedule. Im employed under contract basis and I’m working on a special project is which allows for very flexible availability. I’m available for feedings, play time, long walks or just to spend time with your animal. I love to cuddle or play indoors or outdoors
About: I have years of professional experience in the animal industry, including managing dog daycare and boarding facilities, as well as managing a veterinary molecular diagnostics company specializing in PCR testing for animals of every kind, literally A to Z, from anteaters to zebras! My background combines hands on pet care with animal health knowledge, allowing me to provide attentive, safety focused care for pets of all ages, breeds, personalities, and medical needs. I am also PACCC Certified, a Certified Professional Animal Care Provider, as well as Pet CPR and First Aid Certified. My home is designed to be a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment where dogs are treated like family. Guests are welcome throughout the home and can enjoy cozy dog beds, the couch, enrichment toys, tunnels, brush outs, a kiddie pool, a fully fenced yard, and plenty of photo updates during their stay. Dogs are welcome to sleep in bed with me if that’s what they’re used to, or they can be kenneled if that’s their normal routine. Because I have two friendly resident dogs, all boarding and daycare guests must be comfortable around dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and genders. Playgroups are carefully matched based on temperament, play style, size, and energy level. My home is generally best suited for low to medium energy dogs, and I especially love caring for senior pets and laid back personalities. High energy dogs are welcomed on a case by case basis. Safety is always my top priority, so I do have a few requirements before accepting bookings. • Dogs should be potty trained. I completely understand that occasional accidents happen, especially during transitions or with puppies learning routines. However, frequent accidents or ongoing indoor marking may not be the best fit for my home. • Puppies are welcome, but I ask that owners are completely transparent about their current potty training progress and care needs. • Please disclose any bite history, behavioral concerns, previous daycare dismissals, reactivity, resource guarding, destructive habits, separation anxiety, escaping crates, counter surfing, digging, chewing, or other behaviors that may affect their stay. • Dogs displaying normal stress behaviors such as growling, air snaps, baring teeth, or setting boundaries while uncomfortable are not automatically disqualified. However, true aggression toward people or other animals is not accepted. I maintain a zero tolerance policy for aggression within my home. Transparency allows me to safely manage personalities, prevent conflicts, and create the best experience for everyone. Please also let me know whether your dog is kennel trained, whether they need to be crated when left alone, and if they relax well in a kennel or become stressed while confined. Depending on each dog’s behavior and routine, many guests are able to enjoy supervised free roam privileges. Since Rover does not cover damage inside a sitter’s personal home, owners are responsible for any damages caused during a stay. Repair or replacement costs may apply, with a minimum charge of $100 if damage occurs. While my home environment is intentionally structured and carefully managed, I am also comfortable taking on more complex behavioral or medical cases within a client’s home. My care style focuses on structure, enrichment, positive guidance, manners, redirection, safety, and making every dog feel comfortable, confident, and at home. Every routine is individualized because no two dogs are exactly alike. If you’re new to Rover, feel free to use my referral link for $20 off your first booking. NOTE: Rover keeps 20% of sitter earnings while adding approximately 11% in fees to the client. The more I know about your dog’s routine, personality, quirks, anxieties, favorite activities, and individual needs, the better I can tailor their stay. I would always rather know too much than not enough. Thank you so much for taking the time to read through everything and for considering me with your pet’s care. I truly believe great communication creates the safest and most enjoyable experience for everyone, especially your pet. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I never take that responsibility lightly. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or administering any special care they need, I prioritize their well-being. I also plan my schedule to allow flexibility for pet sitting, ensuring I can accommodate different needs, whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly fur baby to keep your pup company! There are plenty of enrichment toys to keep them busy, along with natural, tasty treats for some extra tail wags. It’s definitely a dog’s world in this household!
About: Hi! I’ve spent the last 11 years as a Paramedic and, while I love helping people…I love helping animals too! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a deep passion for caring for pets of all kinds. Ever since I was a child, animals have been a central part of my life. My family often took in dogs and cats in need, and I even bottle-fed orphaned puppies and kittens many times, helping them grow strong and healthy. Those early experiences shaped my calm, patient, and nurturing approach to animal care. Being a Paramedic has taught me how to remain calm under pressure. Also, that no one person is the same and will respond the same. Every person is unique. I believe animals are the exact same way! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and understood—especially while their family is away. Whether your pet(s) are energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or somewhere in between, I take the time to understand their unique personality and adjust my care to meet their needs. From walks and playtime to quiet companionship and cuddles, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and highly communicative. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, so I always prioritize reliability, punctuality, and clear updates. I’m happy to send photos/videos, and messages so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. We can even FaceTime! Although I’m currently unable to have pets of my own where I live, that has only deepened my appreciation for every opportunity I get to spend time with animals. Caring for pets is something I truly love, and I treat every one as if they were my own. I would be honored to care for your pet and provide the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own. 🐶😽 What I Offer: - Dog & cat walking (structured or relaxed walks based on your pet’s needs) - Drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, and companionship - Pet sitting with attentive, in-home care - Care for dogs & cats of all temperaments 💛 My Care Style: - Patient and gentle approach for all personalities - Focus on safety, comfort, and routine - Calm presence for anxious or shy pets - Active engagement for energetic pets - Always respectful of your home and instructions 📸 Communication Promise You’ll always receive: - Regular photo updates - Clear check-ins after visits - Fast responses to messages - Honest communication about your pet’s well-being 🌟 Why Pet Parents Choose Me: I don’t just “watch” pets—I genuinely care for them. My goal is to make your time away stress-free by ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for at all times. That way, you can feel stress-free too! I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pet(s) and become someone you can trust whenever you need reliable, loving care! **IMPORTANT** I provide services for these cities at this time: Marrero, Harvey, Gretna, Westwego, Bridge City, Avondale, Algiers, Belle Chasse, Harahan, River Ridge, Metairie, Kenner, Jefferson, & New Orleans (except for zip codes 70126, 70127, 70128, 70129).

At this time, I’m unable to offer boarding in my home. However, I’m happy to provide house sitting in your home, where your pet(s) can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I understand that many pets feel most secure in their own space, and I’m committed to providing attentive, reliable care while also treating your home with the utmost respect. My goal is to keep your pet(s) happy, comfortable, and well cared for until you return. Your pets safety, comfort, and well-being are always my highest priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with your beloved pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will carefully follow your pets normal routine, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box maintenance, proper poop scoop and disposal, playtime, medication (if needed), and any special care instructions you provide. I know that pets thrive on consistency, so I do my best to keep their daily routine as normal and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I also treat every client’s home with the same care and respect that I would my own. I’ll keep your home clean, secure, and well cared for during my stay, while providing your pet(s) with companionship, affection, and plenty of attention based on their individual personality and comfort level. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with confidence, knowing your pet(s) are safe, loved, and receiving dependable, compassionate care every single day & with every visit.

“Beth was amazing. She immediately adjusted to all of my dog’s quirks and send lots of pics and videos. Bahula was completely at ease with her. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“I can’t say enough positive things about Jessica! She is extremely professional, polite, dependable, and simply a kind person! Bosco had a fabulous stay with her and her husband during our daughter’s wedding in New Orleans. She picked Bosco up at our downtown hotel and dropped him off all in a very safe travel environment. Bosco enjoyed the daily walks and Jessica’s spacious fenced in backyard! He talks to me 🤣 and told me he loved his stay! As a a native New Orleanian working in Houston, we will absolutely contact Jessica whenever we have overnight needs for Bosco!”
“Still trying to convince Butternut that his world isn't ending and I'll go on vacation again so he'll get to see Jessica and Poppy again. He really loves them”
“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!”
“Roxanne was great and our boys had a great time. They slept on the ride home which is always a sign of a good stay. We will be using her again.”
About: Growing up, my favorite place in the entire world was my grandparents' farm, where they trained Hungarian hunting dogs to compete in gun dog competitions and kennel club shows. (They've even had a pup win the Sporting Group title at the Westminster Dog Show!) There was absolutely nothing better as a kid than running free in the paddock with 10 dogs zooming all around, living out their puppiest dreams. Plus, watching their dogs bring home blue ribbons and trophies, I grew a deep appreciation for how intelligent and hard-working our canine companions can be, and how important it is to listen to and observe what they are telling us through body language, verbal cues, and other dog behavior that helps us understand each other. Although our dogs at home were never quite as well-trained as my grandparents' dogs, we always had two of our own to love and play with after their professional careers were over. Today I am a proud dog mom to a Husky, Catahoula, Pitty mutt! I would love to spend a long weekend with your pup, giving us plenty of time for adventures. We will play fetch or tug, go for long walks, and do lots of snuggling! My most highly valued priorities are safety, transparency, and strong communication! While staying hydrated and fed are the bare minimum, I also want every pet to get to play every day!
“Jon took amazing care for Panfila. She came back home with a wagging tail and was very happy to stay with him. Jon is very attentive and really caters to each dog individually. Look forward to leaving her with him in the future.”
“Chayanne was great with my best friend Phil. He came home happy and healthy and appropriately tired. She was super flexible with my schedule changes and a good communicator. Recommend!”
“I'm just so pleased with Dalia after my dogs' first stay with her! They're generally very anxious with new people. Dalia said that has typically not been an issue for her and turns out she was right! They seemed to really love her and warmed up quickly. She sent loads of video and photo updates and let me know how they were adjusting, which was WELL! She played ball with them and gave them time go romp in her large backyard but also walked them daily. She even sent a photo of them cuddling with her daughter on the sofa. Their stay with her was fairly short but I'm so impressed with how quickly they settled with her and how she invited them in as part of her family for the time she had them. I'll absolutely be sending my babies back to Dalia's anytime I leave town!”
“I take my two male cats to Etta’s anytime I go out of town. She is loving and patient with them, and she keeps you updated with pictures! I will definitely keep going with Etta!”
“Anne did such an amazing job watching my dog calypso! Calypso had never spent time away from me and she had never really spent any time around other dogs, but Anne was so patient and understanding! She sent me pictures of calypso every single day and gave me updates On how she was doing! There was always someone spending time at home so calypso never had to worry about being alone! When I left calypso had horrible separation anxiety and was scared of other dogs, when I came back she was confident and her fear of other dogs was pretty much gone! I will continue to trust Anne with my puppy anytime I travel to NOLA and I definitely suggest that you do too! Thank you so much Anne!!”
“This was our third time having Katie take care of our dog, Mylo, and she has been consistently wonderful. Her communication is excellent. She’s always helpful, informative, and keeps us updated. Mylo can be on the nervous side when he’s away from home, but he genuinely seems to enjoy his time with her. Katie does everything she can to make him feel comfortable and at home, which gives us great peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue booking with her.”
“Julia is amazing, she had everything ready when we arrived and was an excellent host for our doggie. She kept us up to date on Moo's days and made her feel at home. I highly recommend her. Will be going back to her when we come back.”
“This is the second time we used Kendra and she is AMAZING! Huey loved playing with Otis and of course we loved the pictures of him having fun. Really friendly and professional. Highly recommended!”
“Emily is amazing! She was able to accept a last minute booking after another dog sitter canceled on me. She provided Deuce with top notch care and was quick to respond with any questions or concerns I had. Deuce will be visiting his friend again in the future!”
