“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!”
“I highly recommend Regina. She sent pics of my baby after she was picked up. She went above and beyond to help me get my dog to her and from her. She is a fantastic lady.”
“Randy is an amazing dog sitter! My pups loved being at his house and warmed up to him immediately. I received pictures everyday too. Randy is my go too dog sitter now. He is fabulous!”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with Rooster and Remi. We came to NOLA for the weekend to get married and wanted to focus on preparing for our guests and running errands. We drove 9 hours from Texas to include our pups in the ceramony. Michael put our minds at ease so we could enjoy our weekend. The dogs came home happy and tired. Michael was kind,flexible and communicated with us. We adored him and could not of dreamed of anyone else helping with our fur babies. If your looking for someone who genuinely makes a loving effort please go with Micheal, you won’t regret it. SIMPLY THE BEST!!!! Xoxo The Schultzes”
“Aja was amazing! She was attentive to all the details- sent photos daily of our fuzzy babies. Aja is punctual, great communicator and outstanding pet sitter. I would give her 5 out of 5 in every way. Plan to use Aja for all of our animal care needs!! Thank you & Mom so much!!”
“Ben sent lots of pictures of our boy and made us really comfortable leaving him for the weekend. The frequent updates were super appreciated, we’d definitely book with him again!”
“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!”
“Lynn was delightful. She sent videos and pictures several times a day which reassured the worried Dog Mom that all was good. Lynn took good care of Sally and tolerated all her quirks. I will definitely use Lynn’s services again and highly recommend her to my friends and anyone.”
“Evlin took great care of Georgia over three days. Her communication was constant, and getting so many pictures helped me feel better about being away from my pup.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Natasha was super easy to work with for drop off and pickup. She sent pictures during Charlie's stay and I could tell he had a good time at her place! When I board him at a kennel he comes home and sleeps for at least a day because he doesn't rest or sleep at the kennel but he came home from Natasha's his usual happy self so I know she took good care of him. I'd definitely use Natasha again or recommend her to a friend.”
“Stacy was very Accommodating as always. I always feel at ease knowing that my pup is cared for by her. She’s a dog lover and it truly shows. Robin thanks you for all the love and playtime!!”

“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!”
“Robin is very thorough, giving detailed updates and providing many photos! Sukho was in great hands and we hope to have her take care of our pet again! :)”
“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!”
“Lindsey was great! She was flexible with our initial meet and greet. She did daily drop ins for my two cats while I was gone for a week. She always had the rover cards ready and took the best photos and videos! I know my kitties were in good hands. Definitely will be booking her in the future!”
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!
“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!”
“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.”
“This is the first time I’ve used a service like this and Delaney put my mind at ease immediately. She took care of my cats for an 8 day trip sent 4+ pictures every visit which, I really enjoyed. I can tell that she loves animals and treated my pets like her own. I would 100% book again. Thank you Delaney!!!”
“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!”
“Victoria was so great with our two cats! They warmed to her quickly, she gave helpful updates, and also generously helped bring in deliveries that came while we were away. It was refreshing to not worry about them, knowing they were in good hands, while we were away/ Thanks, Victoria!”
“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? :)”
About: I have a deep appreciation and love for cats and the unique comfort they bring into a home. I’ve always been drawn to their personalities—whether they are playful, shy, independent, or affectionate—and I truly enjoy spending time getting to know each cat as an individual. I focus on providing calm, attentive, and reliable care that respects each cat’s routine and comfort level. I understand how important consistency and patience are, especially when a cat’s owner is away, and I always aim to create a stress-free environment where they feel safe and secure. Your cat’s well-being is my top priority. Whether they need feeding, playtime, litter care, medication support, or simply a quiet and reassuring presence, I provide thoughtful and compassionate care tailored to their needs. I understand how much cats mean to their families, and I treat every cat with kindness, respect, and genuine care as if they were my own 💛🐈💛
“Natasha was wonderful with my 2 cats and I would definitely use her again when I go out of town. She sent us pictures each day and cats liked her. She was very dependable and really kind to them.”
“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.”
“Sarah was great with my 5 1/2 month old kitten. She was able to play and cuddle with him during his first time apart from his family and he was in great spirits when we came home!”
“We can't say enough good things about Nycole. Our diabetic, kidney-compromised, 15 year old cat, Wylean, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, has been on a feeding tube since early November with a whole litany of medications. Nycole, a skilled and longterm vet tech, was able to give truly incredible, exhaustive care to Wylean for days, both during this latest stay to see my parents (my dad was and still is in the hospital for a broken hip) and during Christmas (to see my mother-in-law in hospice). Her three times a day updates were like something a seasoned vet would make, and Wylean was markedly better when we returned than when we left. She has gained the better part of a pound over the last month, and I credit Nycole for at least part of that. We will always be grateful. If we could leave one hundred stars, we would. A combination of empathy, high skill, talent, and an obvious, deep love for animals makes Nycole the best. Anyone hiring her is lucky, and we only hope we can hire her again for future trips. Thank you thank you thank you, Nycole!”
“Lindsey took excellent care of my cats, who are especially needy! She spent a lot of time with them and clearly gave them lots of love while I was away. Thank you Lindsey!”

“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
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 ♥️
“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: 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.
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.
“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!”
“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!”
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!
“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!”
“Ms. Rachelle was the he sweetest. She kept me updated on Hershey and I even got a cute art keepsake. I got to meet her fur babies and the Hershey’s other new friends too. Ms. Rachelle is an absolute gem!”
“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!”
“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.”

“Hana was easy to communicate with & took great care of our dogs. She sent pics & updates & all went wonderfully! We were able to enjoy our day without worrying about our pups. Thanks, Hana!”
“She helped me out by walking our dogs while we were at a wedding and sent the cutest pictures of them! She is very caring and thoughtful with them. I would definitely love to use her again!”
“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!”
“I love Jillian, and so did Calvin my big labrador boy. He was always in a great mood when I got home because she took him on such great walks, and gave him a little biscuit afterwards and filled his water bowl.”
“Robin was incredible for us! We were gone for 9 days and each day she cared for Sophie with love, super sweet photos and awesome walks! We came home to a happy pup. Thank you Robin!!”
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). I provide pet care full time, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule and accommodate a variety of booking needs. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible—including last-minute bookings when my availability allows. 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.
“Lindsey was amazing!!! She was organized and on it. She had a pretty heavy task with our pups but I never worried about how they were dealing. I would book her over and over again!”
“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”
“Victoria is a terrific dog walker, provided thorough updates and pics as well. Also a great communicator, reliable and trustworthy! Would definitely recommend and will be reaching out next time!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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’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.
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.
“Darin is a great friend to animals and goes at their speed which is important for one of our girls who is unsure of everything. He is also communicative and reliable. Would absolutely recommend!”
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!

“I highly recommend Regina. She sent pics of my baby after she was picked up. She went above and beyond to help me get my dog to her and from her. She is a fantastic lady.”
“Ben sent lots of pictures of our boy and made us really comfortable leaving him for the weekend. The frequent updates were super appreciated, we’d definitely book with him again!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“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)”
“Desirae was a life saver!! I did a last minute request before our family vacation, and Desirae was quick to respond. She keot us updated, sent pics and videos, and even talked to me about our dog’s dietary needs. She is an amazing sitter, and she definitely has a regular customer in us! Thanks again Desirae!”
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!
