“Callie and Indiana had a great time at Randi's house. What I really appreciated were the pictures he sent me everyday. One day he sent videos showing how they were playing with the other pets. They had a great time and I am so glad to find Randi. Communication was easy and fast.”
“Stacy did an amazing job with Magie Jo. She was well taken care of at his place. Little friends to play with as well. Would definitely recommend him for a puppy sitter.”
“Both Ruby & Dexter enjoyed the time with Demaris and family. The home and garden/yard are lovely plus both of my dogs got a lot of attention and pampering. I hate to admit it, my dogs looked and smelled better when I picked them up than when I dropped them off 😆”
“Lisa and Gizzy took great care of our Charlie! He can be a nervous nelly, but they put him at ease quickly as if he was part of the family from day one. Pics and updates were sent regularly. We are so grateful to have found you as Charlie’s home away from home!”
“Melissa is the best! She gets five stars and we will definitely board with her again! From our first call, to the meet and greet, she took the time to really get to know us and our dogs needs and made the whole process easy . Our dogs loved her immediately. She has a big house, a big yard, and took them on regular walks. We got daily photos and updates and her communication was prompt, responsive, and accommodating. Melissa is a gem!”

“All I can say is wow! I’m so thankful for Elizabeth, she was and is amazingly so sweet. Not only to me as a human, a total stranger that she never met. She show a extremely amount of love towards my dog GinO. She was open arms and was welling to learn more about the dog needs and what would make him feel right at home while I’m away from him. GinO(my dog) is my son...or some would say like family and she treated him like her own. Thank you so so much Elizabeth. Highly recommended she’s a real dog lover.”
“Julia is a fantastic dog sitter. We felt SO comfortable leaving our dog with her. She has two dogs of her own so she very clearly “gets it” and she went above and beyond to make us feel like Duke was in good hands.”

“Our dog had a blast during his stay with Liz! She is thoughtful, communicative and we loved the daily pup photos. We are so appreciative and would recommend Liz in a heartbeat.”
“Amy took wonderful care of my girl Gummie. I appreciated Amy being able to keep her at the last minute. It was Gummie’s first time with Amy and it was clear that she felt at home and made herself comfortable there. I won’t hesitate to rebook with Amy next time!”
“This was my first time using Mary for my little corgi, Beignet. Beignet sent two weeks with Mary and when I picked her up, she was happy and healthy, her weight was good and she had her normal appetite. It was obvious that she really took a serious liking to Mary. I am very grateful for the kind, loving care that was given to my little dog. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Madison is the best! She took care of our fur baby who is older, and suffers from anxiety. Our Mona was so relaxed and at home, with Madison, that she spent a weekend of bad thunderstorms without incident. We loved that she sent pics and daily updates.”
“Natalie took great care of our dog Taz and provided lots of updates. I could tell in the pictures that Taz was so happy and it was a relief that he was in good hands. Thank you Natalie, you’re a life saver!”
“Mike was super awesome - We had great coordination when working out drop off / pick up time - He took care of Duke very well with tailored food which he prepared. I will highly recommend Mike”
“Jon was great! I had to leave town and had a last-minute Rover cancellation! Jon was incredibly easygoing and flexible in accommodating my nervous pup. Jon sent daily updates, which gave me such peace of mind. I’d absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog boarding services in the Uptown area!”

“Lori was so amazing with my cat while I was on vacation. She gave her so much love and attention, and I could tell Athena felt comfortable and safe with her. I really appreciated the updates while I was away; it made me feel so much better being apart from her. When I got home, Athena was happy and relaxed, which says it all. I’m so grateful for Lori and would definitely have her watch Athena again.”
“Kate went above and beyond with our two cats that we had to leave for an extended amount of time. We received multiple updates and fun photos each visit. It gave us such peace of mind to know they were safe and being well taken care of. She even updated us on weather conditions and helped prepare our home for an upcoming storm when we couldn’t return home in time. We will definitely be rebooking Kate in the future and know our two boys will be very excited to see us go!”
“Adam was great with our dog and cat. He made sure to get all the important details on our pets care and made sure they had everything they needed. Our pets were well taken care of while we were gone. Would recommend and plan to use Adam in the future!”
“This was my first time using Rover and we just moved here Monday and had an event we needed to go to. Mimi was wonderful and followed the instructions for our cat and I'm with him now and he is a very happy guy. I will definitely be reaching out to Mimi again when we need someone to watch our cat. I was very reassured by the pictures she sent and his report card. 🙂”
About: Nothing, I'm just a regular guy that dogs&cats know is a great person. I give off good vibes only. This is an opportunity to learn about pets in general and meet new people. Open to negotiation on a price we both can agree on. If you're a fan of anime, I'm your guy. Easily. I've fallen on hard times and am learning new skills currently. Which makes me available all the time. All day every day. Always available essentially. I like to be secure. Always lock the door before leaving the house. I’m a 2nd black belt in Taekwondo, blue belt in BJJ, and have practiced Muay Thai and Judo, and am a decorated wrestler. If it's a big dog I am sitting and anything happens we will become a tag team in perfect sync. The 2nd thing is organization and cleanliness. I despise clutter, hate leaving a mess. My greatest offer is security when I watch your pets and your home.
About: Growing up, my pets were mainly cats. Usually, neighborhood cats that I’d take in, much to my mom’s annoyance. My senior cat Wednesday went to the rainbow bridge a few years ago and I haven’t had the heart to adopt a new kitty just yet.
About: I’ve grown up with whole life with dogs, so I know the importance of taking care of your 4-legged family member(s) that are important in your life. I want to provide my services so that your fur baby is safe and comfortable in their own home, while you are alway from home. I’ve had small dogs such as jack Russell’s and as big as pit bulls in my family. No fur baby is too big or too small to love and care for. I am currently not working since I am finishing my degree in Nursing. The only work I have been doing is part-time babysitting and dog sitting on the side & weekends. I am mostly available weekdays from 8am-8pm. Weekends can be tricky for me due to other side jobs such as babysitting, so it just depends. Just ask if you have questions about any specific weekend. I currently have a recused pitbull-husky mix living in my home with me, that loves to play all day. She is recently just finished her heart worm treatment as of August 2025. We just started slowly becoming active again. Due to her circumstances, I have been able to learn more about pets medication and aiding in helping her through this process. Unfortunately, I can not have any pets in my home due to renting restrictions of no more than 1 dog. However, I am available to help with other pets medications and care for your fur pup in your home.
About: ---> Sorry, I do NOT accept most spunky, young dogs Over 40 pounds. Most of the small pets I care for cannot physically handle playing with most dogs over 40 pounds. (Unless your pet is an elder and/or they're very mellow) <--- My name is Melissa (aka. "Missy"). I'd like to care for your precious pet the next time you need some help. Do you have somewhere to go, or something to do? Let me help you, at your place or mine!?! You & your pet can book me for a caring, one hour, drop-in visit to your home, a few overnight visits, or an extended stay at my house. You need help at the last minute ... ? No problem. I can easily provide safe pet transportation. I can also help you fulfill the rules & requirements at a "Pet-Friendly" NOLa hotel, when the rules say, “you cannot leave your pet in the hotel room alone”. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant - This means your precious pet will NEVER be left alone for long hours, whenever they're in my care. I will be at your pet's side, while you take care of business or if you have a fun get-away planned. I’m very comfortable with many different animals & dog breeds, including elderly dogs that need a mellow, safe space with calm, gentle care. I pay close attention to what your dog likes & dis-likes, along with their personality quirks & individual needs. I enjoy caring for all animals, both young & old. I do not accept more than 2-3 dogs at a time. I USUALLY only schedule ONE family's pet(s) at the same time, especially if there’s a new dog client. I always put in a great deal of consideration, before scheduling more than one family's pet at the same time. My home is very spacious, clean, well-organized & safe. I have a large, gated/enclosed & secure, backyard. The dogs that stay with me are ALWAYS supervised. My eyes will be on your pet constantly, while we play at your home or mine, both inside & outside. Allow me to love & care for your precious pet, while you take care of you. Let's discuss your needs. I do offer one free meet & greet. Other than dogs, I also have experience caring for: Cats, Birds, Bunnies, Turtles, Lizards, Snakes, Hamsters, Fish, Frogs, Chickens & Plants. Most of my pet guests are small, therefore any extra frisky, playful pet, over 40 pounds may cause physical harm, even if they are just playing. I'd rather not take that chance. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant. I’m rarely away from the house for more than 2-3 hours. I will always keep my eyes on your pet, even when the pet is roaming around the backyard. My backyard has a 9 ft. high, wooden fence. I also have a gated entry, front-yard/patio. I can provide crates if needed. My 20pound dog is 8yrs. old and he is very mellow & well behaved. He welcomes another dog friend anytime. We have a trusted routine for introducing new pet guests.
“Dani is fantastic! She took excellent care of my little kitties. 😸 Georgie took to her instantly which shows the kind and caring spirit she has. We don't travel very often, but when we do I hope Dani is around to take care of the fury ones we love. Thanks again Dani!”
“Very grateful! I had to find a sitter last minute and I lucked out finding Olivia. She took really good care of my lil kitty boy, was very communicative, and my cat warmed up to her pretty quickly. Highly recommend! Thank you, thank you :)”
“Jayde was amazing! The pictures she sent every day weee so cute and all of our furry friends loved her! She has excellent communication and really paid attention to what we needed. Thanks!! 5+ stars!!”
“Ashley was an amazing caretaker for our kitties. It was so good to know they were being so well cared for. She always had very thorough reports with lots of photos and we just enjoyed reading them too. Definitely will repeat!!! Thanks Ashley!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of cats for as long as I can remember. Having two household cats, one over 17 years old and one with extensive medical needs, I feel my own personal experience has equipped me with extensive knowledge on all things medical, behavioral, emotional, and beyond with cats. Through years of extensive training, vet visits, problem solving, and research with my own, I have incidentally become fully equipped to handle cat sitting. I feel I understand cats boundaries and needs more than the average person. (From having a Maine coon at home, I can assure this has been a necessity.) I also have experience administering oral medication to cats. (A task, I know.) please feel free to reach out! Nothing warms my heart more than taking care of these fur babies.
“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!”
“Liz did an amazing job at keeping me updated while I was away. She sent me pictures everyday of my kitty. I needed someone to watch my cat last minute, and she had no problem watching him.”

“It can be hard to find sitters willing to help with challenging dogs, and I have a very sweet pup who, unfortunately, has some separation anxiety that means she can’t be left home alone at this point. Julia agreed to watch her for some daycare while my husband and I attended a family birthday party, and she also was great about setting up a Meet and Greet about a week beforehand so that Sable could be introduced to Julia and her own pups. Julia sent pictures and updates while we were away, and I appreciated her honesty when I asked how Sable did. It seems as though Sable was only mildly embarrassing and didn’t put Julia through too much hassle, so I’m very grateful to have someone trustworthy and kind to leave my pup with! Thank you so much!”
“Liz was a SUPER sitter for our girls! She had a few other dogs who she was also watching, which made me feel very comfortable - because that indicated others felt she was ALSO a great sitter! We will be re-booking her for tomorrow (Thanksgiving) - and will definitely keep her on our sitter list for when we travel to New Orleans.”
“Melissa is the exact kind of person you can trust leaving your fur baby with. I felt very comfortable at her spacious tidy place and I know my puppy did too. She took him outside nearly every hour since he’s only 3 months. She sent updates with pictures and was flexible with pick up time since it was a group event I was attending. I will definitely request Melissa next time I’m in or around Berkeley :)”
“Lisa was very sweet. You can tell how much she loves dogs. Our Anni did great, so I’m told. Since this was our first time using Rover we were nervous about leaving her. But after our experience with Lisa we will use Rover again. We are traveling across country and not every place is dog friendly. Thanks Lisa.”
“Ellen is one of the best. She took loving daycare of Charley and was so good at keeping in touch with photos! My upcoming trip will be so much less stressful knowing Charley is with her when I'm away.”
“My husband Emile and I were very pleased and grateful for the care that Damaris and Jose’ provided our Emma! You can tell that they are animal lovers and treated her like their own! They have a lovely home and yard and sent pictures and videos of her stay. In the past, Emma has been cared for by family members. It’s nice to know that we have someone else turn to!”
“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!”
“We seriously cannot recommend Madison enough. She was absolutely incredible with our boys! She made us so at ease when visiting from out of town and even got our senior dog to play 🥹 She went above and beyond with her updates & photos and I truly know they were so loved with her. Thank you so much Madison, our new go-to New Orleans sitter!!”
About: Hello neighbors and fellow pet parents! My name is Allie and I am a full time night shift RN. What full time means for me: I work three 12 hour night shifts per week and on those days and for half the day after my 3rd shift I don’t offer pet sitting services because your animals deserve all the attention. It also means that I am home 4-5 days out of the week all day. I have two indoor/outdoor cats named Karma and Mo. I also have a sweet 7lb Chiweenie named Murphy. All of my animals are fixed and UTD on vaccinations. I have a large fenced in back yard that has plenty of room for more paws. My cats keep to themselves and are used to Murphy’s zoomies. Murph loves dogs and cats of all sizes as well as children (talk to me about babysitting as well). I am just looking to give Murphy some socialization and playtime with friends on my off days and have more doggos to pet 🥰 I am home during the daytime and I work 3 night shifts per week that is not a set schedule. I will update my specific availability every month. I have a large fenced in backyard and I live close to Lafreniere park for frequent walks if the weather is right. Murphy loves laying in the sun and running around with any animal that will play with him. He even befriended a neighborhood turtle. I also love the outdoors so you can expect me to sit outside and play with the dogs while enjoying the sun myself. We love outside but we are also couch potato’s on my off days! All of my pets sleep in bed with me but Murphy is also crate trained and stays in his crate when I work and is able to be crated if necessary.
About: First of all, thank you for reading up on me. My name is Manuela, but people call me Manny for many years. Our place has Security cameras 24/7 I have been around dogs all my life, and now I work as a professional dog groomer. I have my own grooming salon. We ask that you book 2 weeks ahead with us. I think communication will be the key in our working relationship. Here are somethings that I would like to know about your dog: Any separation anxiety? Is your dog trained, or crate trained as well? What they like to do? If they have any bad habits, or typical habits of their age, for example, if they like to chew on things, or eat grass. Do they have fleas or ticks, been vaccinated, and/or if they have skin allergies or any medical issues I need to be aware of? Spayed or neutered. If they prefer being inside or outside. How many times they need to go out. Their feeding schedule and how many cups? Anything that will make me aware of their needs and protect them for we all want the best for all our dogs. My house has a large yard and is fully fenced in. I live here with my father who helps me and my yorkie. I'll send pictures and will call you about your dog as you be available or want to get it. I only accept maximum 2 dogs each time. I don't appreciate dogs inside the cage (only by request) so must of the time they are free on their own separate space. I have my own grooming salon in my house, and I will be able to offer grooming services as an extra.
About: I previously worked at an animal shelter for three years. I handled all dogs and cats, the nice and the not so very nice. I had over 20 adoptions of dogs alone, with two aggressive dogs changed to happy puppies. I currently own a dog who is absolutely great I’m a dog lover. I’m a stay at home mommy, I take care of my son and my 1 year old pup. I’m pretty flexible on time. If I’m not able to do specific dates, I will mark them as unavailable to help assist with booking times. Please ensure that your pet is good with babies and other dogs before hand. I do not want to have any issues between the dogs that will cause harm to my baby. I have a fenced in yard, and I also have a block that I walk my pup around. If you have specifics for your pet, please let me know. I am pretty easy going when it comes to the proper care for your fur baby!
About: I’ve cared for dogs at every life stage, from puppies to seniors, with a variety of breeds and temperaments. Right now, I have a small breed senior who is still fairly active. Please use the following link for $20 off your first booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/jonatb76705 I am typically at home, have a flexible schedule, and am available for drop-offs on short notice. Just let me know how I can assist! Your dog will have free range of the living areas, with regular supervised visits to the enclosed backyard, and walked twice daily or as often as requested.
“Emily was SO AMAZING with my two pups. I was visiting from out of town for work and wanted my pups to have somewhere to play on my longest/busiest day so I booked a daycare with her. She was so quick and responsive with communicating. She sent lots of updates, pictures and videos. My dogs were so tired and happy when I picked them up. I highly recommend Emily! I will definitely rebook when I come back to town. Thank you so much Emily! 🫶🏻”
“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.”
“Pearl Bear seemed to have a wonderful time with Michael! This was our first time using Rover, and Michael really put us at ease. His location is also as convenient as can be for exploring the French Quarter. Drop off and Pick up where a breeze! Thank you so much Michael!”
About: I've been around and have taken care of animals all my life. For the past 10 years, I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I also have a 4-year-old 60-pound Golden Doodle who is a gentle giant and loves company. I work part-time remotely, which allows me to house and care for animals during the day and gives me the flexibility to take on last-minute client requests. I have a pretty spacious fenced yard, but I also have crates in the home if needed. Vet facilities are nearby in case of any emergency.
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 only watch 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.
“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!!”

“Lori was prompt, and very communicative! She was so great meeting my timid little Shelby, and gave me great insight and resources for some future dog training. I would highly suggest her for anything in the future with people who are looking for a kind and communicative dog walker.”
About: My family has had at least one dog in our house since I was born. Everybody in my family has dogs. I have a few family members that rely on me to help them with their dogs when they need it. Everyone in my family treats their pets like they are humans and I do just the same! I am currently in between jobs so I’m available pretty much whenever. I do have my own dog at home so I prefer to not stay somewhere for a long, extended period of time. I am pretty flexible with that though so just ask me and I’ll let you know if it’s doable! I have a fenced in yard. I have a 14 year old rescue that just mainly stays to herself. There is a 1 year old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix now living here as well, under the care of someone else that’s not me, however she is very rambunctious with other dogs. I do not mind walking them around the neighborhood. In my family, we treat our dogs like they are humans and they are like our children!
About: I love animals and have cared for friends’ pets whenever they’ve needed a trusted dog sitter. I’ve also fostered dogs for Take Paws Rescue, from young puppies to senior dogs, which has given me experience with pets of all ages and personalities. I treat every animal with patience, love, and attention, the same way I would want someone to care for my own pets. I recently stepped away from my full time job and currently have a very flexible schedule with open availability. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and consistency throughout the day. I currently have three rescue dogs of my own, a Doberman puppy, a two year old Doberman, and a small mixed breed. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Because of my own pets, I prefer caring for animals in their own home where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I always treat every pet with patience, love, and care as if they were my own.

I have experience walking a 95lb chill bernedoodle, an excited 78lb bernedoodle, an incredibly energetic 35lb border collie, a 10lb curious dachshund, and a 6lb havanese that just wants to do her business and get back inside. After some treat bribing I can get my mom’s timid 36lb bernedoodle to go on a walk and once she’s out she loves it! I can throw the ball for hours to my dad’s never tired border collie and can get him back into his crate when it’s time. I pet my attention loving yellow lab until I collect a hairball the size of him.
About: Pets have been both my siblings and my children. I currently have two corgis, one that is two and one that is twelve. I fully understand the uniqueness of each dog- both in needs and personality. "Speaking dog" is a high priority to me. I am a highly detailed oriented individual, with a propensity for enriching and nourishing the well being of your baby. I can happily enjoy a leisurely walk for a mellow dog who wants to sniff and explore; or tire out a dog with boundless energy. I can also offer special love and care to elderly and special care need dogs. I am currently unemployed from a regular income job. I am a ballet instructor in the evenings. I can happily aid with any daytime care needs. I have two corgis. I understand each dog has unique individual needs to match their personalities. I receive both great delight and personal satisfaction in getting to know the motivation of each dogs' personality.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a kid, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with senior and younger pets. I cared for my own dog in her later years when she developed back leg problems. I helped her move around the house, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her lots of love and patience every day. I additionally took care of my other dog in her early months waking up multiple times nightly to calm her down. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m confident in handling all kinds of needs. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, so I’m able to care for pets whenever needed.

“Lisa and Gizzy took great care of our Charlie! He can be a nervous nelly, but they put him at ease quickly as if he was part of the family from day one. Pics and updates were sent regularly. We are so grateful to have found you as Charlie’s home away from home!”
“Ben was incredible! His knowledge of pups with health issues was impressive and his sweet disposition won over my picky pup in seconds! I will positively be using Ben again when I’m back in town! So happy to have found him!”
“Katherine and her family took such good care of our girl! They sent several photos and kept us informed on how she was doing. Would definitely choose them again whenever we need a sitter in the future!”
“All I can say is wow! I’m so thankful for Elizabeth, she was and is amazingly so sweet. Not only to me as a human, a total stranger that she never met. She show a extremely amount of love towards my dog GinO. She was open arms and was welling to learn more about the dog needs and what would make him feel right at home while I’m away from him. GinO(my dog) is my son...or some would say like family and she treated him like her own. Thank you so so much Elizabeth. Highly recommended she’s a real dog lover.”
“Julia is a fantastic dog sitter. We felt SO comfortable leaving our dog with her. She has two dogs of her own so she very clearly “gets it” and she went above and beyond to make us feel like Duke was in good hands.”
“Olivia was great. I was updated multiple times a day. I received pictures and videos of my sweet boy Nyx. The overall experience was amazing. I do plan on booking with Olivia again if needed.”
“Madison is the best! She took care of our fur baby who is older, and suffers from anxiety. Our Mona was so relaxed and at home, with Madison, that she spent a weekend of bad thunderstorms without incident. We loved that she sent pics and daily updates.”
“Natalie took great care of our dog Taz and provided lots of updates. I could tell in the pictures that Taz was so happy and it was a relief that he was in good hands. Thank you Natalie, you’re a life saver!”
“Jon was great! I had to leave town and had a last-minute Rover cancellation! Jon was incredibly easygoing and flexible in accommodating my nervous pup. Jon sent daily updates, which gave me such peace of mind. I’d absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog boarding services in the Uptown area!”
“Serena was incredible. She was very responsive, flexible to some of my last minute schedule changes, and really sweet with my dogs. I have zero complaints and would absolutely recommend her!”
“Regina was awesome and we will definitely use her again! She suggested we had a little meet n great before confirming, which is always reassuring. She had another dog there during the meet n great, so we sat outside on her front porch, as to not intermingle the dogs. Then she took that dog out on a mini walk while Miley and I walked thru her beautiful and clean home. The fact that she was so meticulous following the wishes of the other dogs owner, made me know she was going to do same for me. Miley had some special needs during her visit (some medicine and specific food to curtail an upset stomach) and Regina didn’t mind at all. It was a little cold snap, so I brought Miley with a sweater. When I picked her up the next day, Regina had even sewn shut a hole that had been in that sweater, I was so surprised and so happy. She is so sweet and we will definitely be returning!”
“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”
“I really liked how we did a meet and greet before she agreed to watch my dog to make sure our doggos got along. My dog had such a good time playing with her dog Pearl that my dog was exhausted by the time she got home. I also appreciated all the photos and videos she sent.”
“Chayanne was amazing! Huey who is normally very shy, instantly felt at home. He had a nice relaxing weekend napping with Missy. Will definitely use again!”
About: Hello neighbors and fellow pet parents! My name is Allie and I am a full time night shift RN. What full time means for me: I work three 12 hour night shifts per week and on those days and for half the day after my 3rd shift I don’t offer pet sitting services because your animals deserve all the attention. It also means that I am home 4-5 days out of the week all day. I have two indoor/outdoor cats named Karma and Mo. I also have a sweet 7lb Chiweenie named Murphy. All of my animals are fixed and UTD on vaccinations. I have a large fenced in back yard that has plenty of room for more paws. My cats keep to themselves and are used to Murphy’s zoomies. Murph loves dogs and cats of all sizes as well as children (talk to me about babysitting as well). I am just looking to give Murphy some socialization and playtime with friends on my off days and have more doggos to pet 🥰 I am home during the daytime and I work 3 night shifts per week that is not a set schedule. I will update my specific availability every month. I have a large fenced in backyard and I live close to Lafreniere park for frequent walks if the weather is right. Murphy loves laying in the sun and running around with any animal that will play with him. He even befriended a neighborhood turtle. I also love the outdoors so you can expect me to sit outside and play with the dogs while enjoying the sun myself. We love outside but we are also couch potato’s on my off days! All of my pets sleep in bed with me but Murphy is also crate trained and stays in his crate when I work and is able to be crated if necessary.
“Carney Anne was phenomenal with our Rogue girl - even getting her to eat a bit while we were out of town (which is unusual for Rogue when in a new place). During Rogue’s stay, Carney Anne shared photos of Rogue enjoying walks, cuddles, and even a soccer game with another pup that was also staying. We will definitely book with Carney Anne again in the future!”
“He was home when he said he would be when I dropped off and picked up Boulet. Boulet appeared in good shape when I picked her up and everything I left was returned, food and water bowls, leash and bed. I will use Rhys the next time I need a sitter.”
“Laura, Ty, and the boys made our little girl feel so welcome! She had the best week and can’t wait to go hang out again. As parents, we appreciated all the photos and updates. It’s comforting to know that our pup’s vacation was just as much fun as ours!”
“Shannon was wonderful! She was very responsive and she kept me constantly updated throughout the week, and I felt confident that Rowan was being completely spoiled through his entire stay. I will definitely be using her services again!”
