Pet care jobs in New Orleans, you set the hours

The jobs come to you rather than the other way round. List the New Orleans areas you can cover, and owners inside them send requests you are free to turn down.

Both, if you want them. Your New Orleans profile lists every service you offer with its own price, and owners request the one they need rather than a bundle.

Yes. Petme recruits sitters across New Orleans year-round, from Marigny to Bywater, and owners send booking requests directly to sitters in their area. There is no vacancy list to wait on: you create a profile, set the areas you cover, and accept the requests you want.

No. Petme sitters must be 18 or over, so under-18s cannot take bookings yet. From 18 you can start without formal experience: you need a smartphone with the Petme app, to pass ID verification, and a profile that describes the pets you have cared for, including your own.

It fits part-time schedules well because you are self-employed: no assigned shifts, no minimum hours, and you set your own rate. Many New Orleans sitters take a few bookings a week around a job or studies and scale up or down as their calendar allows.

Most new sitters start with dog walking and drop-in visits, then add boarding or daycare once they have a few five-star reviews and know their schedule.

Petme bookings in New Orleans come from neighborhoods like Marigny, Bywater, Garden District, across walks, drop-in visits, daycare, and boarding.

Yes. You set a rate for each service and your own available hours, and you accept or decline each request, whether the booking is in Marigny or Bywater. No assigned shifts, no minimum hours.

Every Petme booking includes $22,000 in Protection Plan for the pet in your care, at no cost to you or the owner. The same cover applies whether you sit in Marigny or Bywater.

Mardi Gras, French Quarter Fest, and Jazz Fest fill the city with travel and drive boarding and house-sitting demand, on top of the winter-holiday peak. That pattern shapes pet sitting bookings in New Orleans across the year. New Orleans is humid and subtropical, with a June-to-November hurricane season that can force an evacuation on short notice.

No formal qualification is required. You need to be 18 or over, have a smartphone with the Petme app, and pass ID verification. Experience helps you win your first pet sitting bookings in New Orleans, so it is worth describing the pets you have looked after, including your own, on your profile.

Owners in New Orleans mostly keep Labrador, Catahoula Leopard Dog, French Bulldog, Pit Bull mixes, rescue mixes. Saying on your profile which of those you have looked after helps owners choose you, because most are looking for someone already comfortable with their dog's size and energy.
