A local edge

Local know-how pays off in New Orleans

New Orleans is humid and subtropical, with a June-to-November hurricane season that can force an evacuation on short notice. Sitters walk early to beat the heat, watch for hot pavement in the French Quarter, and keep a storm plan ready for boarding and house-sitting stays.

When demand peaks

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. Daily walks run year-round across Uptown, the Marigny, and Mid-City.

Know your New Orleans pickup areas

Most daycare bookings cluster Uptown to Bywater. Owners drop off on the way to work and collect afterwards, so an easy run to your door matters more than how far you are willing to travel.

Breeds you will meet in New Orleans

Owners here mostly keep Labrador, Catahoula Leopard Dog, French Bulldog, Pit Bull mixes. Knowing how those breeds behave, and saying so on your profile, is what turns a first booking into a repeat client.

Common questions

Doggy Daycare Jobs in New Orleans

What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in New Orleans.

Is this a doggy daycare job with an employer in New Orleans?
This is self-employed work rather than an employer role. Owners in New Orleans send booking requests and you accept the ones you want, at the rate you publish for each service. Petme is the platform, not the employer.

No. New Orleans does not allow the day-care side of dog care to happen at the sitter's own home, under 21.6.R. Walk dogs, drop in on cats and dogs, and house sit in New Orleans. All of it happens away from your own address.
Are doggy daycare jobs hiring near me in New Orleans?
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.
Can I do doggy daycare jobs in New Orleans at 16 or 17?
No. Petme sitters must be 18 or over, so under-18s cannot take bookings yet. From 18 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.
Is doggy daycare a good part time job in New Orleans?
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.
What daytime dog work pays in New Orleans?
Dog walking runs $16 to $32 per 30 to 60 minute walk and drop-in visits run $18 to $36 per 20 to 30 minute visit. House sitting pays $40 to $82 per night. You set your own rate for each service, and you keep up to 90% of every booking.
Why is dog walking allowed in New Orleans when day care is not?
Because of where the work happens. A walk or a drop-in takes place on the street or inside the owner's home, so it is not a business run out of your residence. 21.6.R is aimed at the home occupation, not at the service.
Do I pick my own hours and bookings in New Orleans?
Yes. You review each request, arrange a meet first if you want, and accept or decline it. There are no assigned shifts and no minimum hours, and you set your rate and your availability per service across New Orleans.
What protection comes with New Orleans bookings?

What do I need to start dog walking in New Orleans?
You need to be 18 or over, have a smartphone with the Petme app, and pass ID verification. Owners choose on reviews, availability and a complete profile, so it is worth describing the pets you have looked after, including your own, and naming the New Orleans areas you cover.
Which dogs will I mostly walk in New Orleans?
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 walked helps owners choose you, because most are looking for someone already comfortable with their dog's size and energy.
Are there jobs near Marigny or Bywater?
Yes. You set which parts of New Orleans you cover, so you can keep dog walking to Marigny, Bywater and the streets around them. Owners inside that area send booking requests to the sitters who cover it, and you accept or decline each one.
