About: ---> Sorry, I do NOT accept most spunky, young dogs Over 30 pounds. Most of the small pets I care for cannot physically handle playing with most dogs over 30 pounds. There's no setting for that weight on Rover. (Unless your pet is an elder and/or they're very mellow) <--- My name is Melissa (aka. "Missy"). I'd like to care for your precious pet the next time you need some help. Do you have somewhere to go, or something to do? Let me help you, at your place or mine!?! You can book your pet for a caring, one hour, drop-in visit to your home, a few overnight visits, or an extended stay at my house. Do you need help at the last minute ... ? No problem. I'm happy to provide pet transportation, if needed. I can also help you fulfill the rules & requirements at a "Pet-Friendly" NOLa hotel, when the rules say, “you cannot leave your pet in the hotel room alone”. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant - This means your precious pet will NEVER be left alone for long hours, whenever they're in my care. I will be at your pet's side, while you take care of business or if you have a fun get-away planned. I’m very comfortable with many different animals & dog breeds, including elderly dogs that need a mellow, safe space with calm, gentle care. I pay close attention to what your dog likes & dis-likes, along with their personality quirks & individual needs. I enjoy caring for all animals, both young & old. I do not accept more than 2-3 dogs at a time. ((I USUALLY only schedule ONE family's pet(s) at the same time, especially if there’s a new dog client)). I always put in a great deal of consideration, before scheduling more than one family's pet at the same time. My home is very spacious, clean, well-organized & safe. I have a large, gated/enclosed & secure, backyard. The dogs that stay with me are ALWAYS supervised. My eyes will be on your pet constantly, while we play at your home or mine, both inside & outside. Allow me to love & care for your precious pet, while you take care of you. Let's discuss your needs. I do offer one free meet & greet. Other than dogs, I also have experience caring for: Cats, Birds, Bunnies, Turtles, Lizards, Snakes, Hamsters, Fish, Frogs, Chickens & Plants. Most of my pet guests are small, therefore any extra frisky, playful pet, over 30 pounds may cause physical harm, even if they are just playing. I'd rather not take that chance. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant. I’m rarely away from the house for more than 2-3 hours. I will always keep my eyes on your pet, even when the pet is roaming around the backyard. My backyard has a 9 ft. high, wooden fence. I also have a double gated entry, front-yard patio. I can also provide crates if needed. My 20 pound dog is 8yrs. old and he is very mellow & well behaved. He always welcomes another dog friend, anytime. We have a trusted routine for introducing new pet guests.
“Great job, Cody! We felt perfectly at ease leaving our precious "girls" with you! Thank you for your attention to detail and attentiveness, they were extremely well cared for.”
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. I currently am a Mother of 3 human children(1 grown) and 4-four legged sons and daughters. I also substitute teach. I have a bachelors degree from UNO. I have reliable transportation and am trustworthy. My pets live indoors but can play supervised outdoors. I also walk them on a leash daily. I can usually get cats to love me within 5 minutes or less 🐶🐱

“This was my first time using the Rover app, and Nicole was amazing. She came over a day early to meet my dog, Jake, make sure they got along, and pick up a key. They immediately hit it off, and she went above and beyond while I was out of town. She kept me updated with pictures and videos, took him on car rides, and even let him visit with her pups, with my permission of course. Jake was more sad watching her leave than he was excited to see me, lol. I highly recommend Nicole and will definitely be using her again!”


About: Hi! I’m Kaylee, a student at Loyola University New Orleans, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had a variety of pets throughout my life, including dogs and cats. I have over 4 years of experience caring for animals and officially began offering pet-sitting services through Rover this summer. As a college student, my availability is based around my class schedule, and I’m available to pet sit whenever I don’t have classes. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that gives your pet the attention and care they need while you’re away! I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting throughout the New Orleans area. I care for pets of all personalities and make sure their individual routines, feeding instructions, walks, playtime, and other needs are followed closely! As a student at Loyola University New Orleans, I structure my daily routine around pet care visits, walks, and house sitting. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate specific times throughout the morning, midday, afternoon, and evening for drop-ins and walks. For house sitting, I base myself directly at your home to ensure consistent supervision, evening companionship, and adherence to your pet’s exact routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining their normal environment and daily habits to keep them relaxed and stress-free. I strictly follow all owner instructions, including meal portioning, fresh water refills, walking routes, and medication schedules. I keep living areas clean, secure the home upon entry and exit, and send clear photo and text updates during every visit so you always have full peace of mind.

“Ashley was fantastic! We had a last minute cancellation with my dog’s sitter and Ashley was responsive and willing to watch her while we were out of town. I have a Rottweiler and she was very comfortable watching her and Daisy seemed to have a great time. I got detailed info on the check ins with lots of pics. Will definitely book again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs or has dogs since I was little. When I got older I decided to get my own dog because they are so loving. I have plenty of time on my hands to give lots of love and attention to your pets. Your pet can fit in my daily routine especially because I own one of my own. Your pet is your family and I understand what it’s like to be away from them. But your pets will be completely safe with whatever you prefer me doing for your pets to make you and your pets feel safe and comfortable .

“Payton was phenomenal! Great to work with, fully trustworthy, showed up at the requested times and went above and beyond what I ever expected. I honestly think my dog was disappointed to see me and not her when I got home. There isn’t enough stars to show I much I appreciate Payton and her service. Will use her again!! (If not my dog may run away to go find her)”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life From Jack Russel’s to Great Danes. I’ve volunteered at vets and shelters and provided care for sick and elderly pets. I have pet sat for years and enjoy providing company and comfort to pets when their owners are away/busy. I work from home full time so have a huge flexibility on my ability to take care of pets or work from other locations if needed! I have a large yard with a brand new and secure fence. I have a well trained and friendly dog and two cats that are super friendly!
About: Nothing, I'm just a regular guy that dogs&cats know is a great person. I give off good vibes only. This is an opportunity to learn about pets in general and meet new people. Open to negotiation on a price we both can agree on. If you're a fan of anime, I'm your guy. Easily. I've fallen on hard times and am learning new skills currently. Which makes me available all the time. All day every day. Always available essentially. I like to be secure. Always lock the door before leaving the house. I’m a 2nd black belt in Taekwondo, blue belt in BJJ, and have practiced Muay Thai and Judo, and am a decorated wrestler. If it's a big dog I am sitting and anything happens we will become a tag team in perfect sync. The 2nd thing is organization and cleanliness. I despise clutter, hate leaving a mess. My greatest offer is security when I watch your pets and your home.

About: I have over 5 years of experience working at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—including puppies, senior dogs, and anxious pets. I also have experience caring for cats and am the proud owner of a 7-year-old Sphynx, so I understand the unique care and attention cats need. Your pet will be treated like family while they’re with me. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, cats, and even a few small pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve house and pet sat for over 40 families, many of whom now trust me as their regular sitter. I have experience with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I treat every animal like family and always do my best to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for regularly. Whether I’m walking dogs, stopping by for check-ins, or doing overnight stays, I plan my schedule around giving pets the attention they need. I’m flexible and reliable, and I always make sure each pet gets quality time, exercise, and love. Taking care of animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me. It’s a meaningful part of my routine that I truly look forward to. In a client’s home, I do everything I can to keep their pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions closely. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles if they want them. I also keep the home clean and tidy, respecting the space as if it were my own. Whether it’s a quick visit or an overnight stay, I treat every pet with care, patience, and love.

About: I’m a Tulane Law student who has pet sat for friends and neighbors for over 12 years. I have a flexible school schedule and would love to spend my extra time making sure your dogs and cats are safe, well cared for, and having fun while you’re away! I am a full-time student with flexible hours. I have no weekend school or job commitments, and during the week I’m available for walks, check-ins, etc before and after my classes (typically 10-1pm). I’m happy to discuss specifics with you and find a schedule that works best for your pets, so please feel free to reach out! I have experience with animals that are crate trained and those who are not, and am happy to fulfill whatever roles you need to ensure your pets are kept in their routines while you’re away.
About: Hi, my name is Julie! I worked at the Camp Bow Wow in Baton Rouge for 3 years, and was general manager my last 2 years. I left in May of 2021 and have dog sat for roughly 8-10 clients year round since leaving Camp. I just moved back home to Nola and am looking for new people to dogsit for. I have experience with big and small dogs, puppies and old dogs, and I love them all. I can’t wait to meet your pups!❤️😊 I currently work full time, Monday-Friday and 8:00 AM-4:30 PM. I’m available most weekends or can even due week time stays. All of the dogsitting I’ve done before was in-home stays at the dog’s personal house. I like to learn their schedule and make them feel comfortable. I’m there for them and to give the parents peace of mind their pet is being taken care of (and sometimes spoiled).
About: I am a pet owner and a animal lover. I have experience with caring for dogs as well as cats. I own a Rottweiler, everybody should know how high maintenanced and how high in energy they are. Knowing that I can handle him with no ease, caring for your dog will be a beeze!!! I have worked with many animals and I am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. Growing up I've always volunteered at many animal shelters. I am an energetic undergraduate student at Jackson State University with a flexible schedule. I live with a family of five who also love pets. Your dog will get plenty of excercise. I am very flexible especially during the weekends. BOOK ME, I look forward to meeting your pets! Because I have the responsibility of making sure another dog is cared for! Enough food, water and necessities! I go above and beyond for dogs because they can’t talk to us so why not be attentive to them in every way possible I care for pets as if they’re were my own. I would expect the same care and attention for my dog from others if I were not around so I have no choice but to provide that to others dogs! Dogs/ cats are the greatest gift we could ever have asked for so I believe in treating them with love and care.

Kristen was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for Albert! I was having a hard time getting him to eat enough and she came up with ideas to encourage him to eat while I was away. I had peace of mind knowing he was eating enough and well cared for while I was gone

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,138 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Avondale. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Avondale. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
