“Cheryn was amazing! You could immediately tell she was really caring and passionate about dogs. Huey had a great time and we loved the great communication and pictures. Highly recommend Cheryn!”
“Another great stay Mike. I really love how he understands my dachshund’s behavior so well. I have absolutely no worries when boarding there and know my dog is always happy, healthy, and safe with Mike. Any pet with Mike is in good hands!”
“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.”
“Iryna took wonderful care of my cat for 3 weeks. :) From the meet and greet, to the day I came back to pick her up, Iryna and her amazing family made sure my cat was comfortable in their home and well taken care of the entire time. Thank you sooo so much!!”
“Michael is so kind and helpful. I was nervous to leave my fur-child with someone new to go out of town. He made me feel at ease from the start and my pup also did very well. He was prompt in all communication and let me know how she was doing periodically. Would definitely recommend and I plan to have him watch her again for the next trip!”
“Shelby and her Mom took good care of my puppy. This is the first time that my puppy is away from us and I was anxious how he’s holding up until Shelby sent me a video of him sitting on a couch seemed cozy. Shelby accommodated me when I changed the drop-off time and answered all my questions timely. I will unhesitatingly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter for their dogs.”
“I felt full trust to leave my baby boy with Katherine and her husband. They both work from home so plenty of attention for the pups and Grits had a great time. Great people!”
“Sarah was great! If she is available in the future I will definitely use her. She sent LOTS of photos and videos and I was more than grateful that my pup had a friend to play with in her doggo. I’d forgotten to update D’Arts profile that he was now on medication, and Sarah was super adaptable to this info. I am appreciative!”
“Etta was the perfect dog sitter! You can tell that she has a passion for animals, and the care that she gave my dog Kiwi was above and beyond! From clear communication and picture updates to arts and crafts, I couldn’t be happier with Kiwis stay at Etta’s.”
“ELENA was excellent with my Chewy! She was so attentive to him. I loved that she sent pictures almost every day. She has such a beautiful spirit. I won't go anywhere else to leave him. He now has a second home away from home. Rover please keep her as long as she's willing to sit with our fur babies. I will definitely recommend to anyone who may be looking for a fur baby sitter. GTurner”
“Ellen was so amazing! Our pups were really well cared for and she was very flexible with drop off/pick up with me. Both pups came home happy and nice and exhausted from all the playing and outdoor time! She’s also very good at responding and sent a lot of pics for me. Would definitely use her again.”
“Serena and AJ were amazing with Cookie!! It was very relieving & comforting to know she was in such great hands while I was out of the country for a bit. Serena was always super quick to respond, flexible, and I loved getting all the photo and video updates! 10/10 would recommend & I would definitely book again with her!”
“This will be my second time using Dalia. At this point, my pup is in love with this family. Our pup don’t like just anyone. That means, they have to be treating her right when we are away and it shows. They are amazing, very hospitable, and easy to work with. Dalia was able to assist me with last minute changes with the arrival time. I truly appreciate her and her family for helping. Anyone that uses her will not be disappointed.”
“Words can’t express how super sweet Regina was with my Jacob. She definitely deserves more than 5 stars. He looked so happy and comfortable with her. Regina kept me up to date on his daily behavior and activities with photos. The thing I love the most is the 1 on 1 attention that was given to him. Will definitely book her again.”
“Rachel and Michael were wonderful! They took care of Missy over the holidays and clearly gave her a lot of love! They send sweet pictures and or videos daily. They were extremely responsive and reliable. They set up Missy for success by scheduling a meet and greet for our pups before the boarding period. They were also super flexible. My flight back to the city was canceled and I last minute needed an extra day of care for Missy and they accommodated this last minute change which was very kind. Overall, I felt relaxed and reassured in my travels knowing Missy was being cared for by Rachel and Michael!”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter, more flexible and communicative during a disaster of a trip, with layovers being extended, she communicated clearly and was flexible to keep my pet, I will definately use her again for this service”
“Desirae is awesome! She took such great care of my fur babies and I had no fears about being away from them. I am so grateful to have had her to ease my mind while I was out of town. Thank you!”
“Mary was a wonderful sitter. She sent pictures and kept me updated on the status of my fur baby. He seemed to be in great spirits upon picking him up. Will definitely recommend Mary as a sitter and utilize her service again in the near future.”

“Delaney is an absolute blessing and delight. It's so wonderful to truly enjoy our vacations knowing she is taking care of our pets. We will continue book her anytime we go on a trip. She is so sweet and patient with our rescue pit bull and sassy older cat. She also helped with our plants which was so appreciated.”
“Deana took great care of my little gentleman cat. Lots of updates and plenty of pictures, as usual. Highly recommend to feel comfortable when you leave your little ones at home.”
“Daphne always does such a wonderful job for us. We really trust her and appreciate her work. She gives great daily updates, is attentive to our pets needs, and keeps an eye out for things we need to know about the house while we’re away. Highly recommend!!!!”
“Robin is excellent and is very reliable and good at communicating throughout. Her pet Pictures are framers, too. I will hopefully be able to use her more as we get to travel this year. I highly recommend her!”
“Caitlin took such good care of our cat while we were away on vacation. She sent us more photos and videos than any other sitter and we LOVED that! It’s hard leaving a pet for an extended period, but she really put us at ease with all of the hilarious photos and punctual updates. I would hire her again in a second and recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible pet sitter.”
“E was fabulous! They took wonderful care of our kitties, making sure they got lots of love and playtime in addition to their basic needs. They provided lots of thorough updates and pictures, letting us feel confident that our pets were happy and healthy in our absence. We’ll be happy to call E again the next time we need pet care 😸💕”
“Angela cat-sat for us for a long weekend and did a great job with our cat. He's only been with us for about 1.5 months, so his routine can be a little tricky. She accommodated him wonderfully, and he appeared very happy when we returned.”
About: Foster dog mom and dog sitter. Recently lost my beagle and miss pup time. I treat my friend’s dogs like my own and they actually encouraged me to start a profile. I like walking and don’t mind slow sniffers. I’m aware of squirrels and cats in my neighborhood and avoid them when necessary. I work full time but have availability evenings and weekends. Looking forward to long walks, tails wagging while sniffing and again meeting daily step goals. I have a small backyard and shotgun house which I own. I can crate if necessary but if your fur baby is trustworthy, I’m happy to let him or her free range guard my house during the day. The window facing the street is typically pretty entertaining. I got rid of my dog camera when Maggie passed away but may set an iPad up, again. Meet n Greets prior to a stay is a must, my foster dog is dog-shy at first but loves people.
“Natasha is so wonderful!! She is taking care of our 2 cats with 3x week visits and they love her! I could not be happier that they have her to look in on them!”
“Ellen was terrific. Highly responsive, followed our instruction to a tee, and made sure our cat Loki feel loved and played with in our week long absence despite the chaos of getting to our house during Mardi Gras. We would absolutely hire Ellen again!”
“Sarah was a great sitter, really communicative and attentive to my two kitties. She sent detailed updates and pictures with each visit so I knew my guys were well taken care of. Excellent service, would use again!”
“I am a years-long customer of Linsey. She takes care of both my cat and house very well. My cat loves Lindsey. In her update photos, my cat is always snuggling up to her:)”
“Highly recommend Cortney for any drop-in needs! She checked in on our kitten while we were out of town over three days, and did a wonderful job keeping us updated, sharing pictures, etc. She is a great communicator, trustworthy, and very thoughtful in her messages. We will use her again in the future!”
“Jamie was so great with our two kitties! She made sure the diabetic one got his meds and didn’t let the other eat all his food, then sent us lots of cute pictures. She even took the extra step of taking the litter to the outside trash so our house wouldn’t stink when we got back! So happy to have someone trustworthy to take care of our boys, will definitely book her again.”
About: My parents had dogs and cats before I was born, so I've literally had animals my entire life. As a young adult living in NYC, I shared a small apartment with two dogs and two cats for nearly 20 years. They were the center of my world, and honestly, the most important things in my life. More than 30 years later, I still dream about them. I’ve always loved animals—every single one. I’ve traveled the world to encounter and marvel at them. I’m the person who will stop at nothing to rescue the baby squirrel, injured bird, or stray dog, and who tries to gently guide the errant bug back outside, even though it completely grosses me out. But beyond loving animals, I'm also a preternaturally mature, responsible adult. I’m 58 (my mom would argue I’ve been 58 since I was five), and I retired early, which means I'm home, unhurried, and genuinely available, aside from taking long walks, swimming, yoga, and social plans. Having spent decades relying on pet sitters and dog walkers myself, I understand firsthand what separates someone adequate from someone truly invaluable. You're not just trusting someone with your pets — you're trusting them with your home, your routines, and the beings you love most in the world. I take that seriously. I'm attentive, observant, communicative, and calm in a crisis. I notice when something seems off in your house, with your pet, or otherwise. At this point in my life, I don't want another pet of my own — the emotional effort and the inevitable heartbreak. What I do want is more animals in my days: the walks, the companionship, the silliness, the comfort. In many ways, I've become the grandparent option — thrilled to love, walk, spoil, and care for your pets wholeheartedly, then hand them back to you exhausted and adored.
“Laura took amazing care of my precious kitty and home, definitely will be booking again!! Appreciate the care and thoughtfulness. Knowing my cat was in good hands was so comforting. Thank you!!!”
About: I’ve cared for and grown up around more animals than I can count. I love showing fur babies the love they deserve and there’s nothing more rewarding than receiving it back in return. I believe animals can truly be medicinal and can better a person’s mood and outlook on life. They are our best friends and we are their lives. Flexible availability; I can provide dog walks, grooming, feeding, daytime & overnight sitting, cuddles, and even just a pop-in. I’m free mornings, day, and night and open to ongoing long-term schedules if things happen to work out that way. I have a big fenced in backyard, but most of my time with pups is spent on hikes or long walks outdoors. I do have a medium sized, super friendly husky, if your pupper feels uncomfortable around other dogs though, my husky baby loves spending time at my sister’s house and would be happy to accompany her while I care for your fur baby. I’m extremely active but can also just hang out and offer an easy-going light day or night with your pet.

“Michael was fantastic! We were traveling through town, and last minute decided to find a sitter so we could check out the city. Michael responded super fast and was incredibly flexible regarding drop off and pick up times. Also, my dog seemed to like him a lot, and his opinion matters the most. :)”
“Ms. Etta is GREAT with Bronx. I love how she loves on him and she knows how to handle him. Bronx is a good dog, but she makes sure to pay attention to your pup and learns their quirks so that she can anticipate any issues that may arise. The love and care that she shows all the pups in her care is amazing. I literally can count on her to watch Bronx and not have to even check in cause I know he’s in good hands. She takes pride in her business and I’m so happy she’s accepted me and Bronx into her Krewe. She has a customer FOR LIFE! Thank you so much Ms. E”
“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.”
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.
“I felt so comfortable leaving Pip with Cheyenne in her home. I could see he immediately took to her and it was a great fit. She walked and played with him and also provided a calm environment for him while I was away. I am so happy to be able to rely on Cheyenne when I need help with Pip!”
“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.”
“Kimba came for a drop in with Natasha’s and had a great evening. She got her walks and dinner. We will definitely use Natasha again!! She also has great New Orleans music advice!”
“If I could leave 10 gold stars I would! Lindsey took such good care of my very spoiled little pugs. They hate being alone and I don't think they had a moment unattended in the 5 days they spent with Lindsey. Her dog Lola sealed the deal for the pugs as they love other dogs and feel like it's a party if other furry beings are around. On the second morning we were to take the dogs to Lindsey they didn't get off the couch. As soon as we asked if they wanted to see Lola, they were immediately at the door- such a good sign! Every night we picked up happy, tired doggies. We were able to visit New Orleans without worrying about our babies. A Godsend! Thank you so much Lindsey. We so appreciate you!”

About: I've had cats and other small animals since I was 2! I had a dog for all of my childhood and I was her primary care taker. I've been pet sitting for friends and family for many years! And officially employed as a sitter for 3 years! I adore animals and I'll treat yours like my own! I live in a decent sized shop gun with a large fenced in back yard close to a levee and parks for walks I'm an independent esthetician who's studio is only 3 blocks away from home and I work for myself! The his makes accommodations for animals easy peasy! I also have A reliable car so popping in to feed cats/dogs and/or walking dogs multiple times a day is very fesiable I have a small fenced in back yard and live in a safe dog friendly neighborhood I have 2 cats, ones elderly and naps alot the other is young and curious but both tend to stay in their own space away from dogs when we board them! I am an independent esthetician so I set my own schedule making petsitting very easy to fit in as well as working within a 3 block radius of my home! Can put breaks in my day whenever needed! I care for pets in my home as they are my own and work close enough to pop in many times a day making it optimal for any type of pet needs
“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!”
“Oshie was able to take care of my Abby last minute and she was so pleasant. She took great care of my girl and if I’m ever in the area again, I will be reaching out!”
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: Hi! I’m Eden, an animal lover with both personal and professional experience caring for pets. I’m currently a Veterinary Assistant at Château Veterinary Hospital in Kenner and am attending Delgado Community College to become a Veterinary Technician. I share my home with 8 amazing animals, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, or just plenty of love and attention, I’m happy to help. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m committed to providing a safe, reliable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I have 8 animals and I take care of them everyday. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies!!! I also work at a vet hospital. I have a fenced yard and all of my animals love dogs. I have a very nice spacious home and a couch for the babies to lay.
“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.”
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.
“10/10 would recommend, 10/10 will be a repeat customer! Rizzo had so much fun, she can’t wait to go back. Completely hassle free and painless. Rizzo loved her walks and has a another best friend!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from high-energy dogs to more sensitive or anxious ones. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s emotional needs and body language, and I prioritize making them feel safe, calm, and understood in their environment. I have hands-on experience with crate training, building positive associations, and helping dogs develop confidence when left alone. I’m patient, consistent, and gentle in my approach. I tailor care to each dog rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to create a calm, secure experience for them while you’re away. I occasionally bring my well-socialized dog with me for longer stays, but only with prior approval and proper introductions. I’m a full-time dog sitter and spend most of the time at my house, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced in yard for the zoomies and I’ve dedicated a fold out couch for the dog in addition to my bed for any cuddle bubs! There’s a splash-pad and cooling stations so no one overheats after a big romp around the yard. I structure my days around walks, play, and downtime, and I’m mindful of keeping routines consistent so pets feel secure. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care on both weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize being present and your dogs will rarely, if at all, be left alone. I’m located in a quiet part of the outer 9th ward. My neighbors are friendly dog lovers too. I provide a calm, structured, and attentive environment where your pet’s safety and comfort are the top priority. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual needs, and I adjust my approach to help each dog feel safe and understood. I’m experienced with crate use, positive reinforcement, and helping dogs settle in new environments. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and take care to avoid overwhelming situations, especially for more sensitive or anxious dogs. I know when to separate dogs and how to read body language before any accidents can transpire. In your home or mine, I maintain a clean, predictable space and ensure pets are supervised, exercised appropriately, and never left in situations where they could feel unsafe or stressed.

“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!”
“Victoria did a great job of walking Aki and keeping her from feeling restless during the day. It was a huge help to us and we would definitely book with her again. Aki took right to her from their very first meeting!”

“Robin is super responsive, consistent and on time, and even our stranger-danger aussiedoodle loves her and is always happy to see her for midday walks!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and absolutely love spending time with animals. Friends, family, and the families I babysit for have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away! I’m experienced with puppies, senior dogs, giving medications when needed, walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of cuddles! I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! I work full-time in medical sales, so my schedule varies throughout the week. Because I plan my own territory, I’m able to be flexible for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits with advance notice. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll always communicate clearly and make sure they receive dependable, loving care. I pride myself on being punctual, responsive, and treating every pet like family. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I know every pet has their own routine, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes them feel happiest and most secure. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, keep your home clean and respected, and provide regular photo and text updates while you’re away. Whether we’re going for walks, playing, or just keeping each other company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. You can count on me to treat your home and your furry family member with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Laura was amazing with my anxious boy! She was patient, gentle, encouraging and flexible. She adjusts her approach entirely based on the personality and mood of the dog she works with, and consequently my dog is in love with her!”
“Lindsey is a kind, reliable caregiver and our dog Belle absolutely loved her! She helped us out on very short notice and was super accommodating.”
“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!!!”
“Aura was willing to help me out on very short notice. She came to the house and met Two Bit and came back later to walk him. My job is very demanding and it gave me great comfort I Leung he would get his exercise and be cared for. He was in very capable hands with Aura.”
“Darin was very patient with my dog while we worked through some anxiety issues on our end. He was also on time and gave my boy some good, long walks while I was out of town.”
“Hannah responded within minutes to my emergency request to walk my dog after I injured my ankle in a fall. She was very accommodating, comfortable with my dog (as he was with her), fun, funny and reliable. FIVE HUNDRED STARS!!! Thank you very much.”

I care for pets in clients’ homes the same way I always hoped people would care for mine: attentively, responsibly, affectionately, and with enormous respect for both the animals and the home itself. I understand that allowing someone into your home and entrusting them with beloved pets requires a tremendous amount of trust. Having spent decades as both a pet owner and homeowner myself, I take that responsibility very seriously. I’m mature, observant, communicative, calm under pressure, and exceptionally conscientious. If something seems off with your pet, your home, or anything else, I will notice it and communicate immediately. I treat your home as I would my own - with care. It helps that I am extremely neat and tidy (maybe a tad OCD when it comes to cleanliness...). And, I am happy to follow any rules or guidelines the client has. As for the animals themselves, I genuinely enjoy being with them. I’m happy to do long walks, slower strolls, playtime, snuggling on the couch, medication routines, keeping to familiar schedules, or simply providing calm companionship and reassurance while you’re away. I know firsthand how much pets thrive on consistency, patience, affection, and a sense of safety. At this stage in my life, I do this because I truly enjoy reconnecting with the joy animals bring to everyday life. I’m not trying to build a huge business or rush through appointments. I simply love animals and enjoy caring for them well.
“Megan, is a lifesaver. I was in texas for work and needed a last minute dog walker. She and my fur baby jade connected very well. Megan is on time to walk jade, she is respectful, and I will be scheduling her when I need someone to look after jade. Big Thanks for your help Megan, again life save.”
“This is the second week we are using Courtney as our pup daily walker. She has been amazing, super responsible, responsive and made sure our pup gets the best care while in her hands. We highly recommend Courtney!”
“Kat was fantastic! We made a schedule for twice daily walks of my beagle mix Philippe while I recovered from surgery. Some days I was in such pain I'd ask her to feed Philippe so I wouldn't have to come downstairs. She was just perfect and Philippe loved her! Couldn't recommend anyone more!”
About: I have been around all kinds of animals my whole life. Aside from raising and training my own dogs, I helped raise and train service dogs for over three years. These dogs have gone onto incredible careers helping others all over the country! I would love to help you and your furry friend :) I am a recent Tulane graduate! Currently working while I apply to PhD programs. Very flexible with reliable transportation around New Orleans. Located in Irish channel area. I have spent over 10 years caring for animals. In addition to my experience training service dogs, my mother has her own dog walking business which I assist with whenever I am home.

“Etta was the perfect dog sitter! You can tell that she has a passion for animals, and the care that she gave my dog Kiwi was above and beyond! From clear communication and picture updates to arts and crafts, I couldn’t be happier with Kiwis stay at Etta’s.”
“This will be my second time using Dalia. At this point, my pup is in love with this family. Our pup don’t like just anyone. That means, they have to be treating her right when we are away and it shows. They are amazing, very hospitable, and easy to work with. Dalia was able to assist me with last minute changes with the arrival time. I truly appreciate her and her family for helping. Anyone that uses her will not be disappointed.”
“Words can’t express how super sweet Regina was with my Jacob. She definitely deserves more than 5 stars. He looked so happy and comfortable with her. Regina kept me up to date on his daily behavior and activities with photos. The thing I love the most is the 1 on 1 attention that was given to him. Will definitely book her again.”

“I highly recommend Cheyenne as a pet sitter! Satchmo just stayed with her for two nights, and she was absolutely amazing with him. He was dealing with some nerves, but she was incredibly patient, worked right through his issues, and helped him completely relax. She also sent great photos throughout his stay to keep me updated, which I really appreciated. I couldn't be happier with the care she provided!”

“I cannot recommend Elizabeth enough! While visiting New Orleans, I had to fly to Los Angeles for 4 days and needed a trustworthy dog sitter. Elizabeth’s reviews stood out, and after our meet and greet, I knew I had found the right person. She asked thoughtful questions and was so attentive to my pup’s needs, ensuring his best interests were top of mind. Her communication while I was away was excellent—she sent frequent video and photo updates, which put me completely at ease. I wish I lived in the area because I would definitely be a repeat client. Highly recommend!”
