Booked by 1 family in Barataria, LA

I am an experienced pet sitter and house sitter living in the Seventh Ward of New Orleans. I primarily take care of dogs and cats, but I have also cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, and one very large Vietnamese pot belly pig. I am available for walks if nearby, but I primarily do overnights and stay with the animals in their own home while their people are away for work or vacation. I also take care of looking after the household while you are out of town.

Katie is an absolute gem of a pet sitter! She recently cared for our two Pomeranians, Loki and Watson, and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, healthy, and loved while we were away. From the moment we met Katie, her warmth and genuine love for animals were immediately clear. She took the time to understand their routines, quirks, and personalities, which put us completely at ease. Loki and Watson can be a bit high-maintenance, but Katie handled them like a pro. She sent us regular updates with photos and videos, and it was so comforting to see how happy and relaxed they were in her care. It’s clear she treated them like her own pets. When we returned, they were calm, content, and even better behaved—Katie’s care and attention made all the difference. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your pets as much as you do, Katie is the one. Her reliability, kindness, and professionalism deserve more than five stars! We’ll definitely be booking her again!

Cate 3 reviews
$15 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 3 families in Barataria, LA

Hi! My name is Cate, and I am currently in my first year of law school. I’ve been babysitting, tutoring, and working as a camp counselor for over ten years. I babysat regularly during college in Baton Rouge and wanted to continue babysitting while I am in New Orleans. I love working with children, so please consider me for your next babysitting job!

We are from out of town, and needed a babysitter for one evening when we attended an adults-only event. Cate was perfect! She did a video call with us so we could get to know her. She gave us her cell phone number so we could keep in touch with her and confirm the babysitting job in the days leading up to it. She arrived on time, and was gracious and lovely with my 9yo son. While we were gone, she ordered a pizza for the two of them, and sent occasional photos of my son so I could see how he was doing. My son had a great time with her. And Cate also made it super convenient by accepting payment via Venmo. We recommend Cate completely.
