I just returned from a 4 day trip to visit family and had Laura pet sit my chihuahua and chiweenie. I could not be more pleased with her. My dogs can be a little timid but they warmed right up to Laura during our initial meeting. It's obvious she is a true animal lover. I returned home to a clean house, with no trash, my mail brought in, and two happy pups. Laura even leaves progress notes from every visit. Would defiantly recommend her for anyone going on vacation versus boarding. The pets can stay home where they are comfortable and much less stressed. Thank you Laura!!!! read more

Nolapets - Daphnie and Tankersley give Laura 2 paws up! - Pet Sitting Near Me

Still the best petsitter we've ever had: sweet, affordable and responsible - and she always seems to have availablity. Our cats and fish are so well cared for by her as was our house while were gone (she watered our flowers and brought in our mail, and I basically just felt safer knowing she was coming by each day). If you need a petsitter, contact Laura and you will be set! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Laura and her wonderful job of pet-sitting our two dogs! We called on her only two days before our trip across the country after our original dog-sitters bailed on us, and, despite the short notice, she was professional, courteous and paid much attention to detail. Like most enthusiastic pet owners, we are very passionate and particular about our dogs, and Laura put our minds at ease right away. She took notes and asked many pertinent questions during our initial meeting. Every day that we were out of town, she sent us photos of our pups and texted updates about each day's worth of visits. When we returned, our home was in exactly the same good condition as when we'd left, and our dogs were relaxed and happy! She'd left handwritten notes about every single pet-sitting visit, which let us know she really had spent quality time with our dogs and made us feel extremely confident about hiring her the next time we travel. She is considerate and reliable, and a clear animal lover. Thanks so much, Laura! read more

Nolapets - Two very happy dogs being taken for a nice walk by Laura!! - Pet Sitting Near Me

See all

Laura is great with my sweet cat, Lady. She is very professional, coming to the house prior to us leaving so she could meet Lady and familiarize herself with our routine. She kept in contact with us to let us know how everything was going and sent plenty of pictures. This was our first time to use Nola Pets. Laura spent time with Lady and worked to interact with her. I really felt her concern and love for animals. Nola Pets was the perfect solution to a very real concern. I will definitely use Laura again! New Orleans, LA read more

I am a slightly over protective dog parent, but Laura went out of her way to put my mind at ease. I know my pup was well taken care of and even loved. I will definitely be using this service again and would recommend Laura to my friends and family. She sent me a picture of my pup every day and gave me a little report which I absolutely loved! read more

I trusted laura with my precious house and pets. She is trust worth and conscientious too. I'll use her in april and August for my 2 upcoming 2 trips. Laura is very friendly and dutiful. I went with the right sitter. read more

Trust, honesty, responsibility, caring and kindness...all characteristics I look for in a pet sitter, and all characteristics you can find in Laura of Nola Pets! Laura clearly loves animals, and it shows in her work! She takes great care of our two cats, sends updates about how they're doing, and keeps everything tidy! Laura also generously lent us traps and gave advice on how to trap the feral cats in our yard so we could get them spayed/neutered and returned... just one way she has shown her dedication to the welfare of all animals! I wholeheartedly endorse Nola Pets! read more

I am a recent NOLA transplant and had travel plans during the week of Christmas. I was extremely nervous about finding care for my big, energetic furbaby while I was away. Thankfully, the forces of Yelp led me to Laura of NOLA Petsitters! Laura is an extremely nice lady that has a great love for all animals - you can tell just by talking to her. She was prompt in responding to all of my inquiries from the start. Within no time we arranged for a consultation to meet with me & my pup before I left town. Milo warmed up to her almost immediately. Laura could probably sense my stress over leaving him for the first time since moving here. She assured me that Milo would be cared for as if he were her own, and I know she did just that! Not only did I come home to notes from each visit, but I was also sent pictures via text or email daily. When I returned from my travels, my dog was calm, happy, and healthy. I really could not expect or want anything more! On top of great care, Laura's services are also very affordable. She charges half of what other companies in the area were quoting me. Nor does she charge exorbitant extra fees like those other companies. I will not hesitate to use NOLA Petsitters in the future and will recommend Laura to anyone searching for a reliable, affordable, & caring dog walker! read more

I called and spoke with Laura. I was looking for a place to board my cats while we all are driving cross country and stopping in New Orleans. She took a very personal interest in helping me find the perfect place, since they do not board cats here. She took the time to describe several potential boarding "homes" as well as a private sitter/boarder and personally texted me all the phone numbers and contact info. I'm so impressed with her willingness to go above and beyond to make sure my cats and I were taken care of. If I could hug her through the phone, I would have. I have no doubt that she extends this level of care and kindness with all her customers. What a great lady! read more

I'm well over due on this review. I needed someone to check on my cats after we moved to New Orleans 2 years ago. Laura came by and met with them before we left. She is a great pet sitter. She spends some time with them (and has been known to bring them toys and treats after asking if it's ok) and doesn't just clean the litter and check on the food. She just keeps our key and a few days before we are going out of town, I text her when we will be gone. She brings in our paper and mail (since we have trouble getting those stopped) and deals with our finicky alarm system. She always sends pictures of where they are hanging out that day. We were out of town before Ida and she even offered to take them with her or meet us with them! Talk about going above and beyond! She's reasonably priced and is willing to come every other day (a lot of the other pet services insisted on coming every day). I whole heartedly recommend Laura to anyone needing a pet sitter. read more

After a terrible boarding experience at a local vet, we were desperate to find a better way to make sure our 2 dogs are well cared for when we travel. I cannot begin to express how grateful we were to discover Laura! She is truly an answered prayer for us. We have two headstrong and rambunctious pups who aren't very large but manage to take over a room. Laura offered to meet with us to make sure we were all comfortable with one another. She hit if off with our dogs and eased our worries right away. Her genuine love of animals is immediately apparent. Laura is a breeze to work with. She is extraordinarily responsive by email and text. Setting appointments with her has always been easy and she goes out of her way to keep us updated on the pups while we are gone. We've been working with her for months now and I assure you, I wouldn't recommend just anyone to come into your home while you're away and take care of such precious, beloved family members. I can recommend Laura without hesitation. She has improved our pups lives and ours as well. read more

Laura is the absolute best, with no reservations. She took care of my four indoor cats and one outdoor cat the way I would have done it, if not better! And sent me daily updates with pictures. My kitties already miss her. I will never board them again. Highest recommendation. read more

As a new arrival to New Orleans, I was unsure whom to hire to care for my cats in my absence. Luckily I found Laura, owner of NOLA Petsitters. Not only is she an animal lover, she is a wealth of information regarding animal healthcare options and rescue resources in the area. I was able to go out of town over Christmas with no worries. She offered to text me pictures of my fur kids, and there were daily written notes upon my return. Laura is great for nervous cats and their anxious owners. She is also bonded and insured and has very competitive rates. I will use NOLA petsitters when I travel in the future, and would not hesitate to recommend Laura to care for your pets. read more

Laura is a fantastic pet sitter! I was in desperate need of someone to watch my dog and two cats and waited until the last minute to make arrangements. Laura called me right away and came over to meet the animals and learn more about how I take care of them. She asked a lot of questions and had me fill out information about their routines and their vets, which helped me know my pets would be well taken care of. I love that Laura sent pictures daily. Now that I'm home, I'm wondering if my animals liked Laura more than they do me because I think she spoiled them rotten! read more

Laura is incredible! I found her through the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters and then I read all of her glowing reviews on Yelp. I messaged her only a couple days before going out of town and she was more than willing to accommodate me. She was very enthusiastic about my pets (two cats, her specialty). I was a little nervous to leave them in the hands of a complete stranger, but after our first meeting, all my worries were gone. She asked a lot of questions and had me fill out a questionnaire for each cat so that she would know their habits and personalities.She detailed each of her visits so that I knew exactly what happened while I was away and sent me texts and pictures to keep me updated. My cats hate when I travel, but both of them were a lot calmer and happier after being in Laura's care. I highly recommend her for any type of petsitting. She is kind, courteous, professional, prompt, very detail oriented, and highly enthusiastic. You can tell that she truly loves animals and loves her job. Your pets will be in very good hands! read more

If you need a pet sitter that you can trust and will take better care of your pet than even you do then you have have to go with Laura! I was a bit skeptical of the whole pet sitting thing but got in a bind when going out of town and luckily found Nola Pets on Yelp and now I will call Laura every time. I think my cat likes her more than me now! Thanks Laura! read more

I am beyond pleased with Laura and the excellent service she provided! I was gone for ten days and we set it up for her to come check on my cat for five of those days - every other day while I was away. During that time I had a leak in my air conditioner and she let me know and sent me photos. Instead of me having to worry, she was in touch with my landlord and even came an extra day at no charge to check and make sure everything was in order concerning the issue. She also loaned me her own "cat calming plug-in" for the two weeks and left toys here for us to keep. She also sent texts and picture updates and left a log of each day she was here for me to review upon my return. Wow! She went above and beyond what I expected of her and I most certainly recommend her! Also of note, her services are very affordable! Laura truly loves animals and knows the importance of customer service! She cleaned up the apartment for me after things were moved around (due to the A/C leak), got our mail, and gave me peace of mind that my cat was well tended to while I was away. I will never go to anyone else! I cannot say enough good things about her! read more

Laura is wonderful! She dropped everything to help me out this weekend when I had an emergency dog sitting situation. I am visiting and she didn't mind spending hours in my hotel room (the hotel surprised me by saying you can't leave your pet alone for any amount of time). She remained very patient with my nervous dog and didn't get upset when my dog hid in her crate and grumbled at her the whole time. She also worked with me when I was unsure about my return time and was extremely conscious about not overcharging me- this is very rare with this type of business. Laura truly loves animals and I definitely recommend her to residents of New Orleans and visitors, alike. read more
