“Desirae is awesome! She took such great care of my fur babies and I had no fears about being away from them. I am so grateful to have had her to ease my mind while I was out of town. Thank you!”
“Raven was amazing! She welcomed Buttons into her home as if she was always apart of the family. Buttons seemed at ease and appeared comfortable with Raven and her family. Raven is an awesome communicator and has a soft and caring way. I highly recommend her.”
“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!”
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.

There are stairs, but I’m happy to carry pets up and down as needed.

“Elena is an amazing person . She took such great care of my baby and kept me updated daily while he was there with her. Chico loved his stay at Elena's. I'll definitely bring him back!!”
“this was the 7th time we've left our fur baby with shelby (and denise and chloe). she spent 15 days this time, and not once did we feel worried about her well being. she ALWAYS comes back looking and feeling super healthy, and we really get the feeling that she has had a blast at "camp shelby's". we are very grateful to have found someone we can trust to watch over our little baby (we're totally neurotic). lastly, there's definitely something to be said about how accomodating shelby has been with us regarding drop-off/pick-up time - she has truly made a big effort to be as flexible as humanly possible with us, and that has meant a lot as well. all in all, we couldn't be happier! thanks shelby, denise, and chloe!!”
“Michael is amazing! This was my first time using Rover, and first time having someone I didn’t know watch my dog. For a whole week at that! I am very anxious and neurotic when it comes to my baby. I supplied Michael with all her necessities and 3 pages of instructions on legal sized paper. Michael was so grateful that I did so and after chatting with him for a few minutes to go over everything, I felt so relieved. I knew she was in good hands. He sends pictures of your baby and is great at responding if you want to do a check in! I definitely recommend Michael and will absolutely use him in the future!”
“Rachelle is a treasured care giver for our pets. I never have to worry about them when they are in her care. From the first meeting, you can tell that caring for all living things is her passion.”
“Where to begin? Mike was amazing before we even had our bags packed. He set me at ease and once we made it to his place, he quickly won Domino over. They had such a great time and Mike was extremely communicative and sent photos and videos throughout the entire stay. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing that my four-legged dependent was in great hands. Shouting his praises from the rooftop…don’t miss the opportunity to have someone love your baby up while you rest or explore!”
“I wish I could leave 6 Stars!!! Ms. Nicole was an AMAZING host to Ocho during his stay during Bayou Classic Weekend. Ms. Nicole sent photos and updates which were wonderful to receive. She also had an amazing indoor set up for the dogs to feel comfortable and welcome. I will most definitely be boarding with her again!”
“Whitney was great! She provided regular updates, responded quickly, and handled our puppers quirks with grace. They were so happy! We will definitely be a repeat client”
“Honestly I was nervous this was definitely my first & not my last . Juliana was so sweet & helpful . She sent pictures everyday of Dior playing, running around, just being her happy self & I loved it . Juliana really made me comfortable knowing my baby was in great hands treating her like part of her family. Thank you so much again 💓”

“Recently booked Carlie for drop-in visits for our cat during our 5-day vacation. I was worried about leaving her with a rather long to-do list, but she handled it with ease. I also enjoyed the goofy pics she took of my girl and the report card she provided after every visit. She far exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again, Carlie! 😸”
“She accepted my last minute request for someone to check in on my cat. Very flexible, and despite the fact I hadn't prepared, she took care of everything. Thank you!”

Michael responded super fast and was incredibly flexible regarding drop off and pick up times. Also, my dog seemed to like him a lot, and his opinion matters the most. :)”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from high-energy dogs to more sensitive or anxious ones. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s emotional needs and body language, and I prioritize making them feel safe, calm, and understood in their environment. I have hands-on experience with crate training, building positive associations, and helping dogs develop confidence when left alone. I’m patient, consistent, and gentle in my approach. I tailor care to each dog rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to create a calm, secure experience for them while you’re away. I occasionally bring my well-socialized dog with me for longer stays, but only with prior approval and proper introductions. I’m a full-time dog sitter and spend most of the time at my house, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced in yard for the zoomies and I’ve dedicated a fold out couch for the dog in addition to my bed for any cuddle bubs! There’s a splash-pad and cooling stations so no one overheats after a big romp around the yard. I structure my days around walks, play, and downtime, and I’m mindful of keeping routines consistent so pets feel secure. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care on both weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize being present and your dogs will rarely, if at all, be left alone. I’m located in a quiet part of the outer 9th ward. My neighbors are friendly dog lovers too. I provide a calm, structured, and attentive environment where your pet’s safety and comfort are the top priority. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual needs, and I adjust my approach to help each dog feel safe and understood. I’m experienced with crate use, positive reinforcement, and helping dogs settle in new environments. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and take care to avoid overwhelming situations, especially for more sensitive or anxious dogs. I know when to separate dogs and how to read body language before any accidents can transpire. In your home or mine, I maintain a clean, predictable space and ensure pets are supervised, exercised appropriately, and never left in situations where they could feel unsafe or stressed.
“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!”

Originally from TX in the US marines me and my soon to be wife. Have our first puppy. I am looking for a 2nd job, and pet care would be an amazing 2nd job. I can care for the pet on weekends, and once I get off work. My normal work week is Monday-Friday 6am-430pm or 0600 to 1630 Honestly probly depends on the pet, younger dogs especially puppies need more attention than older dogs, and older dogs may have different needs. It's case by case basis, on what each pet needs. I do like to play with the dogs I care for.
“I just moved to New Orleans and work very long hours. I won’t leave my dog alone for extended periods and I’m so grateful I found Ellen. Waylon fit in so well with her pups and absolutely loved his day with Ellen and her crew. I loved all the updates I got from Ellen throughout the day; I knew my pup was in good hands and was treated just like one of her own. Waylon has been passed out on the couch since we’ve gotten back from Ellen’s. I would not hesitate to go back and use her services again, and I highly recommend her to anyone in the area to look after your fur babies.”

“Dani was great with my two cats and one dog. She was incredibly communicative and responsive. All my girls were happy and well fed when I returned from my trip. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a cat/dog sitter”
About: I've had pets my entire life. I'm retired now and travel extensively for part of the year, so I'm unable to have pets of my own and thought this would be a great way to keep busy while I am in town. I have a doggy door and a large, gated backyard for games of fetch or hide and seek. I will provide a safe, loving home while you are away or drop-in if you so choose. When I'm in NOLA, I often work part-time from home. I'm retired so you could call me a homebody, and I'm often found working in my garden. In the fourth quarter of the year, I do travel until thanksgiving but will keep my calendar here updated. I am relatively flexible with scheduling. My son recently moved and took his Boston Terrier with him, so there are no longer any pets in my home. I have a large, fenced yard perfect for games of hide-and-seek or fetch, and I'm often in the back as well working on my garden. I do not have any plants that would present a danger. I love to take long, daily walks on the levee, which is only two blocks away...and would love to bring your pet along! I often have family visit, who also love pets.
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.

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 lost my own dog, Maika, a few years ago. She was 14 years old but it was way too early … I’m not ready to get a new dog myself, so Rover has been perfect. I moved to New Orleans a few years ago from Minnesota, where I was also an active member of Rover. My partner, Jonathan, and I bought a house that was built in 1909 — originally as an outdoor market in Holy Cross. It’s now a huge open space attached to a large fenced in yard. Dogs love it!. The dogs hang with me and I usually leave the door open to the back yard, which is basically a mini park with several fruit trrees. The neighborhood itself is also wonderful, there’s a large open field that is fenced in, I a great place for playing fetch or chasing frisbees. The levee is also perfect for long morning or evening walks. I''m a writer and work from home, so having a pup or two around is a real pleasure. I often take the dogs on walks or runs along the levee. But there’s also plenty of space in the house in yard if they just want to chill at home. Usually I work and puddle about doing arts and crafts and doggy's tag behind. The yard has both sunny spots and nice shade… Perfect for the pups.
About: I’ve taken care my dogs my who life. They were always played with, well feed, taken on walks, and groomed to perfection. I love taking care and spending time with animals. I’m available some weekends before 3pm and during the week days I am in school so I have more free time on my hands from working. I have had dogs and cats in my life. My last pet was a female Siamese Cat her name was Nala and I had dog named Bacchus years before her and some one stole them both. But, they stayed with shot updates, vet updates, toys, stocked on food, treats, clothes, love and much entertainment from me. I also believe outside time is very important, it gives them a sense of calmness.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, starting from rescuing strays as a kid. I have years of hands on experience with dogs of all ages, including my own senior pup who was named Cici. She needed medication around the clock and caring for her taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to follow a strict care routine. I’m comfortable giving meds, understanding special needs, and making sure pets feel loved, safe, and understood. I would love to hang out with your fur babies and give them some extra loving! I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! Every day will be a party and I’d love to have some company! In my home, pets will have a safe, clean and comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime and plenty of snuggles. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I will make sure they get regular leashed walks, potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time. I will stick to their usual feeding schedule, keep fresh water available at all times and follow any medication or special care routines exactly.
