“THE ABSOLUTE BEST SITTER EVER! I chose to go with Nolvia because she was on my way to and from the airport. But I ended up being so lucky to find her, and am now willing to go out of my way if I have to for all my dog sitting needs. She is worth it! My dog Rebel and her dog Marisol vibed so well. Nolvia has a beautiful home and is OVERLY attentive to caring for my pups needs, my spoiled girl was right at home! Nolvia sent the cutest photos, had interactive toys, kept my very high energy dog active, was flexible and very communicative. Highly recommend!”
“Randy does a Great job! Jazzy is very comfortable staying with him and his babies. This is the 2nd time Jazzy has stayed with him and we will use his service again in the future.”
“We received many videos and pics to update us on how our little pup was doing. It made it so much easier to go away for a week without her. We missed her but we didn’t worry and always knew she was happy and well taken care of. Aja was very friendly and warm and good to work with.”
“We were a little apprehensive about leaving 5 month old Jasper with someone we didn't know. Stacy was great with him. He was happy when we picked him up so he must have had a good time playing. We will use Stacy again.”
“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 😆”
“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!”
“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!”
“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 fantastic! He kept me updated throughout Dug's stay and loved on him like he was his own. I came home to a very happy pup who was worn out by all the fun they had during his stay. Thanks so much Ben!!!”
“He did AMAZING with Rambo. He kept me updated about how Rambo was doing & sent me pictures. Rambo loved all the attention! Thank you so much again for watching him! Definitely going to give you a call next time I need someone to watch Rambo.”
“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.”
“I highly recommend Iryna for dog sitting! She took good care of my dog for 5 nights and kept me updated me the whole time. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Jon was absolutely amazing with our pups.. he would send photos on a daily in addition to providing our old man his meds. We understand that our younger pup has some issues getting along with others but he was able to keep the peace with all the pups and that's a bit of a feat because she can be ALOT. Our littles were happy to come home but looked just as they did when we left them, plump and happy! We will absolutely be using Jon again for our next vacation!!”
“Mike is practically my dog's Uncle! He's always happy to be there and I don't ever feel bad for leaving him as he always have tons of fun. The communication is amazing with tons of videos and pictures of how happy Napoleon is staying with him!”
“Amazing sitter, great communication, very accommodating, and you can tell she truly loves dogs. My dog stayed for a week and I got great updates throughout the stay. 100% recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
“Regina was great with Coco! She was very responsive and kept us updated with pictures while we were gone. Coco seemed to really enjoy herself and came home very happy. I will definitely use Regina whenever we go out of town again!”
“Gina took great care of our dog while we were on vacation. She provided pictures and updates which made us feel at ease because this was our first time using this service. I will definitely book Gina again.”

“Adia was great with our two (2) fur boys. She’s very professional and communicated with us and sent pics with each visit, while we were out/town. Adia came once a day for 12 days and spent time with them, doing what they like doing, especially hanging on the front porch. She cleaned up the mess that they made from time-2-time and even did her best at wiping up our lil boy dog’s mark with urine (uhg🙄), when he did it! He knows better!! 🤦♀️ I would hire Adia again if I ever need another dog sitter in the future. Thank you . 🥰”
“Claire is the best. My Lucy is very comfortable with Claire. She sits on her lap for pets. Claire spends time with Lucy not just an in and out. I travel frequently and would love to have Claire ever time”
“Olivia was amazing with taking care of Bug. She was responsive, punctual, and kept me updated throughout. I really appreciated how patient, attentive, and caring she was. I felt comfortable knowing Bug was in good hands. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Mimi always takes amazing care of my Chantilly when I’m traveling and provides great updates so that I know how she is doing! It always makes leaving home much easier knowing she’s well taken care of in my absence!”
“Adam did a great job of caring for Kylo and Gary when we were away on vacation! We booked him for drop in visits, and his report card updates were great, and we felt comfortable with him in our home with the cats! Would book again in the future!”

I have experience with puppies, senior pets, administering oral medications, following special feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, and providing lots of affection and attention. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I always treat every pet as if they were my own while keeping owners updated with messages and photos for peace of mind.

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and they’ve always been at the center of my world. My most recent pup, Effy, was with me for 15 years — she was truly the love of my life.

I can’t wait to meet them I work from home Monday–Friday, so your pet will have my full attention throughout the day — no long stretches alone. I am able to work remotely so care during the day is no issue. I live in an apartment in Meraux above my dad’s office, so while there’s no yard, we have plenty of space to get outside for walks. There are stairs, but I’m happy to carry pets up and down as needed.
“Smart professional and to the point. Becks fed our wild outdoor kitties while we were on vacay. Not a glamorous task but a needed one. Will gladly use her again. Thanks Becks!!! ;)”
About: Since I was five we’ve had cats. My first cat was a mean black tux named binx. I loved him with a passion and he’s now resting after about 14 years. Today I live with my three angels biscuit,peanut, and jam. They’re six I got them around 4-6 months old and they’re the sweetest. I always wonder why but not to sound shameless I think they’re so loving bc I raised them with love.
About: Hi! My name is Brion. (Bree-ahn) I’m a 32 year old female. I’ve always had some sort of pet in my life. I currently have a 1 y/o male golden doodle who is not spayed. I also have a 6 y/o daughter who absolutely adores animals. On weekends my daughter and I would love nothing more than a play buddy. We like taking walks outside and getting fresh air when needed. We live in a fenced home with a backyard, front yard, & a park. So there’s plenty of space for activities and energy. I also have a large cage of my own if needed.
About: I have been a dog lover and owner all my life. Getting outside and getting plenty of exercise is something I consider to be especially important. I enjoy taking long walks and playing catch, chase and tug-o-war with all kinds of puppies. Need a sitter or just a quick walk? I can even bathe your puppy if necessary. I am looking forward to sharing my time and helping out with your fur baby! Have a blessed day!
“MarkQueeta was amazing! She was super prepared (even to help me unload and bring my kitty supplies in for boarding) and has plenty of experience with cats, which made me feel super comfortable leaving my kitty with her. She was very kind and even offered to let my cat stay an extra day for free when I had last-minute changes in my plans and had to figure new plans out! I would definitely bring my kitty back again in the future!”
“Eryn was absolutely wonderful! She listened to all our directions and kept us up to date the whole time. She was patient and loving with our crazy animals and we are so grateful to her. We will absolutely use her again!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Taft
“Nolvia did an amazing job taking care of my two doggies. She made sure they were fed, cared for, and given lots of attention and love. My dogs were happy, comfortable, and clearly had a great time with her. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Nolvia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! 🐶💕”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and would love to hang out with yours! I look forward to games of fetch and walks with your dogs and I know my two dogs (Rosie and Horus) will be thrilled to have new friends. I am a teacher and off for the summer. I have nothing but time to spend with your animals and hope to have the opportunity to meet them! I have a fenced in yard and two dogs. I take them for daily walks and love to let them roam a dog park. I keep them well fed and watered and make sure they feel loved.
“Our experience with Missy has been fantastic. She took the time to get to know Benji thoroughly during our meet and greet. On the day of daycare, she sent me text and photo updates throughout the day and I knew Benji was in great hands. When I picked him up in the evening, I could tell that he had a fantastic time that day!”
“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.”
“It was my first time using the Rover app. Gail was super friendly and ensured my 13 yo was in good hands. She sent videos and photos throughout the stay. I would definitely request Gail next time we go out of town. Thank you Gail!”
About: For over 10 years, I’ve been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family. My duties are basically stopping in to make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, and most importantly, feel cared for while their humans are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, tossing a favorite toy, or just keeping them company. My experience is mostly with drop-ins and walks, and I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and making pets feel safe and happy in their own environment. I work full time, spending two to three days in the office and the rest working from home, which gives me a flexible schedule. During the week, I’m available for afternoon walks and early morning or evening drop-ins. On weekends, I can do drop-ins up to three times a day and am available for walks at almost any time. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always start by checking the space to make sure everything is safe and clean, just in case there was an accident or something seems off. I make sure they have fresh water, food, and a treat if it’s part of their routine. Depending on the pet’s needs, we’ll either head to the yard or go for a walk around the neighborhood. I approach every visit with a calm and nurturing energy, which helps pets feel safe and relaxed around me. Building trust and creating a peaceful environment is always my priority.
“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!”
“My husband Emile and I were very pleased and grateful for the care that Damaris and Jose’ provided our Emma! You can tell that they are animal lovers and treated her like their own! They have a lovely home and yard and sent pictures and videos of her stay. In the past, Emma has been cared for by family members. It’s nice to know that we have someone else turn to!”

“We seriously cannot recommend Madison enough. She was absolutely incredible with our boys! She made us so at ease when visiting from out of town and even got our senior dog to play 🥹 She went above and beyond with her updates & photos and I truly know they were so loved with her. Thank you so much Madison, our new go-to New Orleans sitter!!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since having my first dog at 6 years old. I love dogs and treat every fur baby like my own. Your pet will be in great care with me! I currently have open availability so any time is great to take care of your pups! I have plenty of time to play with your pups, even on weekends. I have 2 dog parks at my apartment complex. I will always make sure to keep a short distance between me and your pup. Safety is my #1 priority.
About: I am retired from the Corporate world and would like nothing more than to take care of your pets. My schedule is pretty flexible. I will also take in your mail and garbage cans if needed. I have experienced taking care of my own pets and my friend's pets. I have one dog, Roxie who is 9 years old and two cats, Tesla and Orion who are 8 and 10. I volunteer occasionally at ARNO and help with the cats and walk the dogs. I would take care of your pets as if they were my own. I am very active so taking your dog on long walks/jogging and playing with them is not a problem. I am very responsible and will not let you down. Given the opportunity, I would love to spoil your pet.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have spent the past 12 years raising and caring for dogs of my own. I currently have two dogs: Wrigley, an 8-year-old Aussie, and Nova, a 6-year-old rescue Aussie/Husky mix who is blind and requires medications multiple times a day. Caring for Nova has given me hands-on experience with special-needs dogs, medication schedules, mobility limitations, and the patience and attention they require. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I treat every dog like an individual. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, some extra attention, a consistent routine, or medication, I’m happy to provide dependable, loving care. I’m currently a surgery resident taking a research year (remotely) which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week, with flexibility to accommodate different schedules and routines. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and rest schedule, and I can provide consistent care rather than rushing in and out. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I take safety and trust seriously and will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications, walks, and any house or pet-specific guidelines. My experience caring for Nova, a blind dog who needs medication multiple times a day, has taught me to be attentive to details and proactive about potential safety concerns. I’m comfortable working with dogs who need extra patience, structure, or special accommodations. I’ll treat your home with respect, communicate clearly, and make sure your dog receives the same consistency and care I would want for my own pets.
“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!!”
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.

About: It is with great pleasure that I offer my service as an outstanding dog walker and pet sitter. I bring professionalism, reliability, and deep love for animals to assure that your fur baby will always be treated as one of my own while they are in my care! I have spent decades caring for multiple dogs of every breed, size, age, and temperament, from energetic puppies and high-drive working breeds to senior dogs with health and mobility issues, as well as many anxious rescues. I consistently demonstrate calm competence combined with genuine affection. I have a keen understanding of canine body language and can sense subtle stress signals quickly, thereby allowing me to adjust playtime, walks and routines accordingly in the moment. Whether providing daily neighborhood walks, longer adventure outings, overnight stays, or extended boarding, I treat every dog as a special individual and am therefore able to offer them affection, love and support while maintaining a firm “leader of the pack” demeanor. I am retired and spend my full time at home with my 8 year old super friendly Brittany, Scout, going on long walks and to the dog park. I have had 20+ dogs of all sizes and breeds, from puppyhood through old age with various infirmities, and I want to dedicate my time to helping my clients feel 100% secure that their fur babies are being cared for as they would be at home with their own family! All babies get free run of my home, are allowed on furniture and I am always well stocked with toys, treats and various beds for lounging, should they so prefer. I have a large, fenced, shaded backyard and a doggie door so dogs have the option to go out any time but I also spend a lot of time outside under the gazebo watching them play.
“Beth has a true natural gift with pups! I’ve never seen Louis as happy as he is when he heads off to her—his whole face lights up, tail wagging a mile a minute. It’s such a relief and joy to know he’s in such caring, capable hands. Thank you, Beth, for taking such wonderful care of my boy. We think you’re the best and feel so lucky to have found you! 🐾❤️”

About: I’ve been walking and caring for animals since I was a young child, so I bring a lot of hands-on experience and confidence in handling pets of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to keep them safe, happy, and well-exercised. I’m currently working from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to pet care. I’ve developed strong time management and organizational skills that translate well into pet walking and training. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be available during key times of the day for walks, check-ins, and consistent training sessions. Since I’m already accustomed to planning my day around routines, I’m able to reliably incorporate pet care into my schedule while maintaining a high level of attention and consistency. This flexibility also means I can accommodate client needs more easily and provide dependable, attentive care for their pets. I provide a safe and trustworthy environment by prioritizing consistency, attentiveness, and clear communication. Because I work from home, pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to closely monitor their behavior, comfort, and safety at all times. My experience working with animals since childhood has taught me how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort early and respond appropriately. I also maintain a clean, organized space and follow any specific instructions from pet owners regarding routines, feeding, and training. Building trust is very important to me, so I make sure to communicate regularly with updates and ensure each pet is cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine attention.
About: Hi! My name is Brion. (Bree-ahn) I’m a 32 year old female. I’ve always had some sort of pet in my life. I currently have a 1 y/o male golden doodle who is not spayed. I also have a 6 y/o daughter who absolutely adores animals. On weekends my daughter and I would love nothing more than a play buddy. We like taking walks outside and getting fresh air when needed. We live in a fenced home with a backyard, front yard, & a park. So there’s plenty of space for activities and energy. I also have a large cage of my own if needed.
About: I’ve always adored pets since I was young. I’ve had many in my life from cats,dogs,and rodents. I know animals are equal beings that need treatment with special accommodations. This requires patience which is almost unlimited for me.i currently have three cats that I’ve owned since they were 3-4 months old they’re now 6. I just got rats a few weeks ago they’re girls 6-8 months old. I believe everything follows a routine dedicated to them and I have no issue aligning myself to these routines. I’m still finishing high school at the moment and I have a job. But besides managing those I’m available weekdays after 4 if I’m not scheduled to work, weekends any time I keep my babies inside as much as possible. They’re allowed to free roam outside since they’re used to that lifestyle from before. They wear flee collars, jam is allergic. I cleanse them with daily grooming and anima safe wipes or soap if necessary. They’re fed 2-3 a day with half a cup or less of cat food I do plan to change their diets eventually. When it comes to other people’s pets I treat them with nothing but love and care and always stay considerate of whatever the owner says I should know about that animal. I’m extremely against cruelty brand products so I will avoid associating or using them.

About: I’ve lived with and taken care of dogs since my early childhood. I currently operate a small dog walking business servicing the new orleans area. I currently plan on Pet walking and sitting on weekends and after 4pm on weekdays. I work full time and get off at 4pm which is right on time for walks, food and enrichment activities.

About: I started my animal care experience working for the Audubon Science and Nature center in animal husbandry by caring for native and exotic animals, birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians in outreach and environmental education! My husband and I cared for wild, rehabilated, exotic, domestic and farm animals throughout our careers. My husband has worked in a stable and farm and has experience with horses, goats, pigs, chickens ect. Both working part-time and mostly from home we will love your baby whether it's got fur, feathers ,hooves, scales or semiporous skin! ;-) My husband and I have a flexible schedule working part time and seasonally, with most hours I can set for myself and also often I am able to work from home. He and I make sure all animals are paid lots of attention to and cared for throughout the day and checked on at night. I have two residences one where I have my pets and another where there are no pets so we can discuss your pets environmental needs. Your baby can play with my pets or have the place to themselves if that suits their demeanor.
