WHAT DO WE OFFER?
Our Pet Care Services In New Orleans
Dog Boarding
Our cozy, kennel-free boarding services offer your pup a home-style experience with flexible drop-off and pickup times. We mirror your dog’s routine whether that means naps on the couch, special meals, or a full day of play. As a trusted provider of daycare and boarding in New Orleans, we deliver professional care with love, attention, and spacious comfort. Whether it’s short-term pet boarding or an extended stay, your dog is treated like family.
Doggie Daycare
Our dog day care services offer your pet a fun, safe, and structured day while you’re away. With small playgroups, outdoor time, and personalized care, we keep your canine companion active, social, and stress-free. Whether they love playtime or prefer one-on-one attention, we tailor the day to fit their needs.
Pet Sitting
Perfect for pets who prefer to stay at home, our pet sitting service includes feeding, companionship, walks, and medication if needed. It’s a great option for older pets or pets with special needs. We maintain your pet’s familiar surroundings and routine, reducing anxiety and giving you peace of mind while you're away. Whether it's a weekend getaway or a long vacation, your pets are never truly alone.
Dog Walking
Our dog walking service helps your dog stay active and healthy with custom walks designed around their energy level and temperament. Ideal for busy schedules or pups who need more outdoor play and stimulation. From structured heel walks for training reinforcement to more relaxed sniff-and-stroll outings, we match your dog’s pace and personality.
Dog Training Classes
We offer small-group dog training classes that use positive reinforcement to improve behavior and build stronger bonds between dogs and their humans. Whether your pup is learning the basics or working through behavioral issues, we’ve got you covered. Classes are fun, engaging, and practical, and we provide follow-up support to reinforce learning at home.

From pet taxi and hotel pet sitting to wedding-day dog care and even pet matchmaking, we offer unique services you won’t find anywhere else in New Orleans. Heading to a hotel that doesn’t allow pets? We’ll come to you. Need your dog to be part of your wedding ceremony? We’ll handle it. Looking for the perfect rescue pup to fit your lifestyle?
