We initially reached out to Homeward Bound Dogwalking Service and May to assist with dog care for…read moreour wedding. Because we do not live in the area, we had to do a significant amount of research, ask detailed questions, and place a great deal of trust in the person we chose. May appeared professional, was knowledgeable about her services, and clearly cares about animals. Based on our early interactions, she seemed capable and experienced. However, communication became a major concern. Email responses were very slow, and important details were not provided until the last minute. The most concerning issue occurred one week before the wedding, when we finally received an invoice that included unexpected charges. While we were initially quoted $75 per hour, the invoice included over $200 in additional "consultation" fees. There was no formal consultation--only a few email exchanges (approximately 3-4 emails) requesting basic information about services and timelines, many of which went unanswered. Due to the lack of timely communication and the surprise fees so close to our wedding date, we ultimately felt uncomfortable moving forward and canceled our plans. Future clients may want to clarify all fees in writing upfront and ensure communication expectations are clearly established.

May did an amazing job with my two cats! I haven't been in New Orleans long and had to go back to…read moreCA for a trip and was very anxious leaving my babies. May watched my cats for 4 days and took excellent care of them. She helped ease my anxiety before I left and made sure my cats were well cared for while I was away. She kept things tidy, handled their complicated feeding needs, interacted with my cats kindly, sent me updates, and even cleaned up when one of my kitties did a scarf and barf. I would definitely use May again next time I need to go out of town. Thank you, May! =^..^=

This review is from a past employee and client standpoint…read more Working for K9 Second Line was one of the most rewarding and enjoyable jobs I've had the pleasure of doing. I worked with the company for about 2 1/2 years and loved forming the relationships with all the furry clients and with Brendan(owner) and Elizabeth (operations manager) . You can rest assured the team members caring for your fur babies will love your pets and give them wonderful care, as I did. They also spend as much time as needed communicating with owners to book services, or answer any questions or concerns you may have. Brendan is one of those bosses that truly appreciates your hard work and always lets you know it. He is honest and fair in all aspects of his business. I have worked for other pet care/boarding business in the New Orleans area and can honestly say I would much rather have my pets stay in the safety and comfort of their home than go to a boarding facility. When I had to go out of town I had no doubts that my dog and cat were in good hands with the K9 team. I got an emails at each visit with an update on how they were doing and pictures. They use an app that lets you tracks what time they come and go from your home, where they walked your dog, and provides you with an update and pictures from the visit. K9 will accommodate all kinds of requests that you need or just want for your pet. I would recommend K9 Second Line to everyone, every time!

I am a penny-pincher and never thought I would hire a dog walking/pet sitting service. When I leave…read morefor long weekends, I usually have neighbors look in and feed my dog. However, during Mardi Gras (a crazy time in the city), we went on a cruise with no cell signal. I decided it was time to call in professionals. I knew that no matter what happened, Brendan and his team are licensed, insured and trained to handle anything related to my dog and were also going to look after my home. The peace of mind was invaluable. Please see the attached photo. They send an email each time they walk your pet -- with photos! I guess most people get these while they're gone, but it was such a treat to read them all when I returned to signal. Thanks guys! This was truly a blessing!

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!!!!

Joanna is fantastic and extremely flexible to help me out during late nights at work or when I leave town for the weekend. She is always available to fit my schedule.

I had hired Joe on two occasions as I needed to go out of town. After my first trip i came back and…read morejust felt like something was not right. On my second trip which was this weekend I decided to put a camera in my apartment to alert me when someone came in (nest camera). All i can say I was shocked and horrified. The arrangement was for him to walk her at least 3-4 times a day with one of those walks to be 30 mins, to stay overnight and fed twice a day. Well, she got fed at 1030 one day and only was walked for 10 minutes each time and didn't get fed till 1030 that night. Yesterday he should up at 7 am fed her came back at 330 for a 10 minute and never showed back up last night. I had to call a neighbor to have him feed her and cut my trip short and arrived home at 10 pm last. I texted him but there was no response only to ask how it was going. Here it is 9 am on Sunday and he still has not showed up. So I beg you please do not use this guy, he does not deliver his what he promised. I plan to put this on Facebook so the word can spread that this guy cannot be trusted with our precious pets.

Unfortunately, I had a similar experience to Tamara.
