House Sitting Waggaman

“There’s only 5 stars otherwise she’d get so much more, my first timer Rover and will be our lifer. 100% recommend and will be using her again.”

Galadriel G.

“Olivia was fantastic! So grateful she was available last minute when I had car troubles coming home from a trip. She was communicative and followed all instructions. Would definitely have her back!”

About: I have pet sat cats and dogs (as well as various reptiles and birds) of all different ages. I have 4 cats and a snake of my own with one cat that takes daily medication. I have fostered cats and assisted in senior pet care (dogs and cats). I also trained 2 of my cats and when we had dogs, I also trained them. I am very experienced with administering medication and caring for pets of different ages! I am happy to take care of your other pets (reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and rodents) in addition to your cats and/or dogs:) Three of my cats are fed twice a day, and my elderly cat gets 4 small meals. I work from home so am able to give my cats plenty of attention. I am fairly flexible with my routine and can easily check in on your pet(s) and walk them 2-3 times a day except on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Those days I have to be physically at my job so I can only check on your pet(s) in the mornings before 11am and afternoons after 4pm. My cats are treated as equal family members and have a wide range of enrichment within our house: cat trees, toys, a screened in porch, and forage puzzles. Our elderly cat is on daily medication and is showered with compliments (she is a queen and she knows it!) . I spend time every day playing with all of my cats and snuggling them as much as they like. I am incredibly gentle with animals and respect their space. I try my best to maintain a clean, stress-free environment at home and in the homes I pet sit for. I know how stressful it can be for a pet to meet someone new, so I always move at their speed and respect their comfort. Your pet's safety and trust are a top priority, and I will treat them with the care I give my own cats.

“High quality care!! Tamara helped us out last minute and was very communicative! She and went above and beyond! We got regular, detailed updates and she helped us when our trip had to be modified. We would absolutely recommend Tamara for in house pet care of the highest quality!”

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!

“Cheryl was wonderful with my pups while we were out of town. House was spotless when we returned and she even turned our pool on each day. Definitely will be using her again!”

Tiffany S.

“Missy was excellent! Sbort notice for her to come to our hotel in the French quarter and sit with our foster puppy so we could still enjoy a preplanned date night. Much appreciated and she did a great job”

Dave W.

“Adia took extra special care of our pups as an in-home sitter for a week long vacation and kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. Communication was prompt and friendly, and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely book with them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”

Austin B.

“Alex was great with our needy pups. Sent us photos and updates regularly while we were away. Took great care of house and left everything clean and tidy”

Terri P.

“Ebony did such a great job with our dogs! She was super easy to communicate with, sent pictures of the pups multiple times a day, and followed all the instructions we left. Ebony also took great care of my less people friendly dog and ended up earning her trust by the end of her stay. We will definitely be booking Ebony again and we highly recommend that you book her as well!”

Kenzie C.

“Karen was so great !! She has great communication and I could tell in the pictures she sent that my pups were loved . She truly allowed us to enjoy our trip .”

Cristina & Husny W.

“Lily did a wonderful job with my senior, partially deaf, dog, and guinea pig. My dog can be challenging as he can be a bit standoffish, but she got him to warm up. Also, he only gets pain medication when necessary, so it was up to her observation and judgment. My guinea pig requires daily cage cleaning and feeding, in addition to handling my dog's needs.”

Rebecca M.

“Martha stayed with our two pups while we were out of the country for a week and a half. She did an amazing job caring for our elderly dog who has some significant health issues. The dogs clearly loved her and were super loving with her. Thank you so much, Martha!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I usually watch just one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.

About: Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their parents since I was a teenager. I am comfortable walking dogs, playing with them, letting them out for bathroom breaks, feeding them, cuddling them, and administering any needed medications, just as I do with my own dog. I am also comfortable taking care of cats. I can change their litter boxes, play with them, feed them, and just hanging out more passively with them or that's what they prefer. I have two cats of my own, with very distinct personalities. I'm currently studying law in New Orleans. I am available for boarding on Fridays after 4:30pm and any time on Saturdays and Sundays. Though my pets are generally friendly with other animals, they can get nervous when there's an intrusion on their space. For that reason, I prefer to care for your pets at your own home, but I am willing to take your dog out to the park where I take my own dog for walks every weekend if you'd like. I do not require written instructions for daytime or nighttime care of cats or dogs, but they can be very helpful if there are certain routines and medications that you would like me to keep up with. For safety reasons, I will not bathe cats, but I will bathe dogs. All dogs will remain on a leash at all times when we are going out for walks, and I will bring poop bags along. I have a dog sling/car seat protector in my car for travel, but if you provide another type of car seat that you prefer, I will use that. If you have a cat, I will clean/change their litter box as frequently as you'd like, on the condition that you provide the litter and other supplies that may be needed. I do also require that you provide dog or cat food yourself, as I do not want to be responsible for any adverse reactions to changes in food, such as allergies or diarrhea. Please message me for any questions that you have.

“Ryan was great! My puppy Clyde loved the visit as he got a walk and plenty of attention. Ryan sent photos throughout the day and we were happy with the visit. Will definitely be booking Ryan in the near future. Thanks Ryan!”

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!

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.

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.

“Lauren was a very reliable and responsive sitter! She kept me updated with plenty of pictures and messages throughout the stay, which I really appreciated. My dogs were well cared for, and I’ll definitely continue booking with her in the future!”
