Crescent City Cat Sitters

The idea for Crescent City Cat Sitters originated with Miranda. She gained experience as a pet sitter in Nashville, then returned to New Orleans. After much contemplation, she decided starting a Cat Sitting business was her true passion. As time progressed, the travel bug bit Miranda and she was ready for her next chapter. Her sitter, Rhonda, introduced Becky and Steven to Miranda. After much discussion and training, Becky and Steven took over Crescent City Cat Sitters.

When we told people we were cat-sitters, some would say, “But don’t cats like to do their own thing..?”  In a way, yes.  But cats are more social than people may think.  Most cats we visited were still rubbing on us like crazy for pets as we left.  And the shy ones only needed a little time and patience to emerge and say hello. 

Crescent City Cat Sitters allows your cat to stay comfortable in their own space while you’re away, which keeps their stress level down and makes everything easier.

About Us

Becky: I’ve been around pets my whole life and love it! Born and raised here in New Orleans, I grew up with a cat and a dog. School breaks and summertime meant spending time with my grandparents on their Northshore farm. Surrounded by dogs, chickens, cows, and a horse, it made for a fun childhood and increased my love for animals. As I grew, the feral cat population in my childhood neighborhood piqued my interest in TNR. My first TNR cat was Mama Cat. She dropped many litters until she dropped her last litter in our backyard. I trapped her and the babies. She was spayed and released back to the neighborhood. I fostered the babies until they were adopted.  She and Mr. Cat would come to our house every day for breakfast and dinner. After a year, she let me pet her. She lived as our outdoor kitty the rest of her life until she got cancer. Life continued with a passion for cats. I was hooked the day my friend Rhonda told me about Miranda and her business. Immediately, I sat down with my husband, Steven, and said, “We have to do this!” Now, we are the owners of Crescent City Cat Sitters. Every day, I embrace, “If you love your job, you never have to work again.”
My husband, Steven, and our son live in the New Orleans Metro area with our cat and dog, both of which were rescued through the Jefferson SPCA.


Steven: I grew up in a house without pets. My childhood included many moves to many different countries. When I met Becky, I quickly learned that to love her meant loving pets. I’d always wanted a dog and was thrilled to meet Becky’s dog. After we were married, we adopted a kitten. Our son was delighted, but, at first, I wasn’t sure. Quickly, I learned Whiskers liked me more. My love for cats grew from there. When Becky approached me about buying a cat business, I was sold.
