“Thank you Sherryann for taking my pup for a midday walk. My dog Noir loves the attention and getting some exercise while I am away at work during the day. Will be reaching out to Sherryann again for sure for the next one!”
About: I've had several years of experience taking care of dogs, hamsters, and even the elderly. I worked for PETCO and routinely maintained the health and happiness of all the pets we housed. Now, my sister and I take care of the neighborhood cats and chickens when they come and visit. I currently work at my own time so anytime is perfect for me. Unless I am helping another client, your services will be no problem!
“Chloe is dedicated to walking my pup who loves her. She braves all weather conditions and schedule changes with a good attitude. My dog Sophie gets the zoomies after every walk.”
“Deana was great at communication, recording the walks, and keeping my pup so happy! Will use again. If your dog/pet is your best friend/baby, you can trust that Deana will take amazing care of them!”
About: I have had dogs in my life since i was 11 years old (27 years). Last october i had to say goodbye to my companion of 11 years, Wanda. I am not ready for another dog of my own and want to be around your dogs as much as possible. I believe in reciprocal relational dynamics between humans and dogs are the best approach to training and trust, not dominance and control. I would like to care for your dog by building a relationship with them based on their personality and needs. Would love to meet you and your dog! I am currently a self-employed carpenter and bee keeper. My schedule is very flexible and i can work with you and your dogs schedule and needs. I live in a household with 3 other dogs who are my roommates', so I cannot board at my home, but am more than happy and available for caring for them at yours. I am good with all size and age of dogs.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Very familiar with various breeds and ages. I have one pomsky dog myself who is 4 years old and very friendly. Currently work from home so am able to be with your dog 24/7 while under my care. I work remotely so I am able to be home all day, giving plenty of attention to your fur baby. I also live across the street from the levee and go on at least two hour long walks a day with my dog. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog myself who would love some friends to play with. My home is structured so they have plenty of room inside to run around as well. I allow my dog on the sofa and in my bed!
About: I’ve had pets (dogs and cats) for nearly my entire life! I have a genuine love for all animals and am very attentive & patient. I currently have 3 cats with 3 entirely different personalities, a sweet senior dog, and a fiesty little hamster. Tell me your needs & they shall be met! I work part-time and have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I will work with your requests and be very upfront about expectations before the scheduled visits. I am offering to come to the pet’s home and provide care for them there. Before you’re away, we will schedule a meet up to go over everything. I’m happy to spend as much or as little time with your pets as you desire!
About: As a proud puppy parent to a playful 2-year-old, I know exactly what it takes to care for dogs with both heart and structure. Whether your dog needs snuggles, playtime, or a little gentle discipline, I bring the perfect balance of fun and responsibility. I’m all about making sure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and completely cared for—because that’s what I’d want for mine. From belly rubs to structured walks, your pup will be treated like family from start to finish. I work from home with flexible hours, available for walks anytime. After 4 PM weekdays and weekends are wide open to care for your dogs fully. I ensure dogs stay safe always, using crates if needed. I’m attentive and constantly watchful to keep them secure and comfortable at all times in my care
About: I am a flexible, reliable dog owner and lover. I understand the amount of energy dogs can have, and I work to meet their individual needs. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality. I am available many days of the week to take care of your babies while you are away at work. I also have an older dog with special needs, so I am understanding of dogs with disabilities or medical needs, and I know how scary it can be to leave your senior dogs with someone new. I am available to take your dog on plenty of walks through out the day to ensure that they are getting the exercise and attention they need. I have taken care of dogs for many years and I understand how important they are to a family, so I strive to treat everyone's dog as my own. I have toys and leashes and treats so that all my dogs have a great time, and to make drop off and pick up easy on the owners! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can be available according to your dog's regular routine and needs. I like to stick to the dog's regular routine as closely as possible. I like to learn about the dog and it's owner so that I understand their usual routine, so that we can stick to what they are used to as closely as possible to minimize seperation anxiety and prevent any schedule disruptions.
“Alexus did a great job handling our two dogs for walks! She was flexible and accommodating, and she got along great with the dogs. You can really tell that she loves animals. I will definitely book with her again if we need more walks.”
“Devin was amazing! He watched my son’s two dogs for 3 days while he was out of town for a family event They are strong energetic dogs, a pit Bull and a pit/catahoula mix, and they loved Devin. He kept us informed, took great pictures, long walks and was extremely reliable and trustworthy. We would definitely use Devin again and highly recommend him. It’s obvious he loves dogs and knows how to handle them.”
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: Hello, my name is Erik. I'm a true dog lover who has been dog walking/pet sitting for over 15 years. I grew up here in New Orleans, and after being gone for several years I have returned home. I have a special connection with dogs and I love spending lots of time with them at the park playing ball, going on long walks, or just laying on the floor with them giving belly rubs . I know dogs are a special part of your family and finding someone who can take care of them is challenging. For that reason, I do my best to make them feel comfortable and treat them as if they were mine. I am a real estate agent here in the greater New Orleans area, and so I am usually out-and-about with clients during the day; for that reason, I am available most any day during the week while you are at work. I can also do afternoon, evening & overnight visits. I also like to spend about 30-45 minutes with each pet, so that they get the exercise they need during the day. I look forward to taking care of you furry baby! :)
About: Passionate pet sitter committed to personalized care. Years of experience providing compassionate care, ensuring tails wag and purrs persist. I've worked with the SPCA, neighbors, and my own furry companions. Your pet's well-being is my priority! I’m a full-time petsitter so have flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I’m available during business hours or after hours for those requiring extra special care. I have a secured home where pets can roam, and a fully-fenced backyard. Depending on your specific needs, your pets could spend time with me indoors, on walks, at the dog park, and with me in the backyard, if weather permits. Pet camera shared with you while you pooch rests while you're away.
About: After a tragically pet-free childhood, I've spent the last 20 years seeking out any opportunity to care for animals—from free dog walking for friends and cat-sitting for vacationing pals to hiking with hounds and being a designated vet chauffeur. I love exploring the outdoors with a dog, chucking sticks across empty fields, and praising them for every "good stretch"! I do everything I can to make pet parents feel comfortable and assured when they leave their furry friends in my care—including plenty of photos and updates! I work from home as a writer/editor and a live-edge woodworker, so my schedule is entirely flexible and under my control. I have a fenced-in backyard with ample shade where I often write and work, so outside time is always available for the animals I care for. I love walking the city and wandering through green spaces, especially Audubon Park and City Park, and having a puppy pal to accompany me makes it even more enjoyable. My interior home space is approximately 1,800 square feet, with multiple couches and rooms and sunspots for dogs and/or cats to relax and lounge. The fenced-in backyard is well-secured with a 6-foot fence for stress-free bathroom breaks, and my active lifestyle takes me on at least 2 longer walks each day, typically in the morning and evening. At a client's home, I pride myself on being highly adaptable to new routines and expectations, and my career as an editor makes me very attentive to details, e.g., medication needs, feeding times, sleep schedules, walk durations, etc. Whether you need someone to pop in and play with your pooch for an hour, or leave your animal at my home for a longer trip, you can rest assured they will be cared for, loved and pampered in a safe and comfortable environment.

“When you meet Sage, his calm demeanor is very present and the dogs feel very comfortable and safe because of it. It doesn't matter your pet's energy, if you have an active dog or a laid back one, he's a great care taker who can keep up. We highly recommend him!”

Monty G.Star Sitter
“Monty has been my go-to dog walker since 2022. I really appreciate how well they connect with my dog (she is all wags whenever they see each other, and she is not like that with everyone!) and it means a lot to me to be able to send her for a walk with someone I trust when I'm not able to myself. They're approach in relating to dogs really puts me at ease. They are a patient listener when my dog is trying to communicate something, but also balance that well with asserting limits. I think it really helps my dog feel secure with them. They are also reliable, courteous, and consistent in communicating with me, not just my dog. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a responsible, caring dog walker.”
Margaret O.Star Sitter
“Margaret has been a dog border for me many times over the last few years. I recommended she become a rover dog border because she is absolutely the dog whisperer! Whenever my dogs are with her, I feel so secure and can relax while I’m away because she spoils them rotten…which is what I expect for them on their “vacation!” When my dogs realize we’re going to her house they get so excited and bolt right out of the car to her front door before I can even put their leashes on. She is very physically fit and I know my dogs are walked at least three times a day. She has a beautiful walking path near her home and she knows the dogs need that sensory experience. I give her an A+ rating!”
Cozette T.
“Cozette came out last minute for me and did a great job handling Bruce. Highly recommend!”
Heather S.
“Heather is a loving and incredibly responsible caregiver. Her affection for both cats and dogs is clear, and I’ve seen her care for each with such grace and compassion. She has looked after our three cats, our dog, and even our hamster—and she’s always been wonderful with them. Heather is trustworthy, dependable, and truly passionate about animal care. She has a natural warmth that animals seem to sense, and they’re always comfortable and at ease around her. I can’t recommend her enough!”
Miles E.
“Miles is the BEST pet sitter ever! He’s communicative, friendly, and very caring. He always goes above and beyond for my dogs! I never have to worry about anything and I’m consistently impressed with how he caters to both my pets and my home. I’m so grateful to have found a pet sitter with such an amazing personality and big heart (:”

Cindy O.Star Sitter
“Cindy is an excellent dog sitter. Over the last ten years, she has cared for our dog, Lindsey. Either for a short weekend, or for an extended vacation my husband and went on. We had no worries knowing he was in good hands. Cindy lives alone and has no pets of her own because she does go out of town occasionally. She has a doggy door in her kitchen which allows Lindsey to go to her huge fenced-in back yard carpeted with St. Augustine grass. Cindy is trustworthy and reliable. Dogs don't lie, and if they like you, you know it. Cindy loves my Lindsey, and he loves her too. If Cindy is available, you would be blessed for her to care for your dog.”
Erik K.
“Erik has watched my dogs and actually my two children many times for me. He is great with them and he is very responsible. He truly loves animals and takes care of them like they are his own. You won't go wrong letting Erik watch you pets for you!”
Jasmin L.
“Jasmin was the first dog mom I connected with when I first adopted my dog Cassie seven years ago. She helped take care of her and gently introduced her to her own dog resulting in Cassie becoming far less fearful of other dogs. Jasmin is incredibly caring with animals and people and I have absolute trust in her with my animals.”
John S.
“John watched my dog and cat while I was gone for 10 days and I didn't have to worry once about them because I know they were in great hands! He sent photos and updates throughout my trip, brought my social dog to coffee shops and parks, and made sure she got enough exercise and had a good time during each day. I absolutely recommend booking with John. This was the longest time I was away from my dog, and I definitely ended up missing her more than she did me because she had such a fun time with him!”
