“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kaylee was fantastic with Denver and KC! She treated them like her own and kept us updated with photos and messages while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. Denver and KC were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved during their stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter and highly recommend Kaylee to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate. 🐾🐾”

“Elizabeth was great. She came to our RV to sit as we visited NOLA. Arrived promptly, providing her experience and compassion for Colonel. Will contact her again when passing through New Orleans.”

“Asia has been PHENOMENAL. My dog is clearly obsessed with her, which helps ease the guilt of leaving. Asia checked in with me every day with adorable photos, and the place was cleaner than I left it, I’m pretty sure!”

“Emily was the best pet-sitter we have ever had! She was caring, responsible, and had great communication. We received lots of pictures of our fur babies, and she checked in often, putting our minds at ease. We came home to very happy animals and our home was cleaner than how we left it. We will definitely be asking Emily to pet sit again!”

I’m mindful of your privacy and treat your home with care, so you can return to happy pets and a space just as you left it.

“Ashley took amazing care of our two dogs. Provided us with so many photos and updates and just went above and beyond. She made us feel completely comfortable that our dogs were in great hands while we were out of town. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”

I provide regular updates to give pet parents peace of mind, ensuring their furry companions receive attentive, loving care while they’re away.

About: I have been a pet owner all my life. Currently have two dogs, Samson and Delilah, Old English bulldogs and two rescue cats. We also feed four ferals in our backyard. Take pride in providing my dogs and cats the best food and care that is available. I also like to spoil them with homemade treats. I'm newly retired and I'm available for check-ins walks. I can even take your pet to the vet for you if you need it.. I'm newly retired from a 30 year Nursing Career and am available most days and times when I'm not traveling. I usually walk my dogs before 7:00 and can work around any schedule I have a locked 7ft security fence and an alarm system. In case of high water we are 3ft above ground in an X flood zone.
About: I specialize in one-on-one care for anxious, sensitive, and extra-affectionate pets who thrive with individualized attention. Whether your fur baby experiences separation anxiety, doesn’t do well around other animals, or simply needs extra love and reassurance, I provide a calm, comfortable home where they can feel safe and cared for. I’m a writer who works from home, lives alone, and **boards only one pet at a time.** That means no other animals, no children, and plenty of personalized attention for your baby throughout the day. Your fur baby can enjoy walks, playtime, belly rubs, couch cuddles, or simply having a comforting human nearby. I’ve always been an animal lover and find that time with them is as valuable to me, as it is to them. I spent four wonderful years with my sweet cat, Henry, and helped co-raise an adorable Goldendoodle, Paris, for three years before she moved away with her other pet parent. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends, family, and Rover clients over the years. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so your fur baby gets to be the center of attention! I’m affectionate, patient, dependable, and committed to making your pet feel as loved and comfortable as they would at home. I’m a full-time, stay-at-home writer, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your fur baby lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I love having a furry companion join me for my morning and evening walks. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I only board pets from one household at a time, so your fur baby gets plenty of individual attention and a calm, secure environment without unfamiliar pets coming and going. I have a large fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, and I’m also walking distance from a beautiful large park that’s perfect for longer walks and exploring. I have a dog crate available for crate-trained pups, and I’m happy to follow your usual feeding, walking, sleeping, and household routines so your pet feels as comfortable and at home as possible while you’re away.

Whether your furry friend is a high-energy puppy, a cuddly kitten, or a sweet senior needing medication, I’m here to provide loving, attentive care. I offer drop-ins, dog walking, and in-home sitting, and I always tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs.

I will provide a peaceful, loving presence to your fur babies. Please provide detail's about your pet's routine so I can provide them with the best and most familiar care.
“Grady went above and beyond to ensure our pup was well taken care of. His punctual, friendly, thoughtful, and communicative approach provided us with added peace of mind while we were away. Would recommend!”

“Jessica continues to be our favorite go-to and is there for us even when travel plans go awry. After getting stranded in Houston for an extra night, Jessica was able to keep caring for Evangeline and Junebug, and made it so they were safe and comfortable until I got home. Jessica is the best!”
About: Growing up on an animal rescue in Washington State, I learned to care for a wide variety of animals, including (but not limited to): cats, dogs, horses, donkeys, snakes, lizards, chickens, pigs, birds, and a couple types of rodent. And loved almost every minute of it! (Roosters can really mess you up) I live in an apartment in Chicago now so while I only have the capacity for our two cats as pets, I still have a lot of love to give and space in my heart for animals. So, helping others care for theirs has been a very fulfilling experience for me. *I do have experience with more challenging animals (reactive, anxious, behavioral issues), so if your little one struggles with any of the like, please let me know in your request what that looks like for you and them. I'm currently a bartender in music venues that are typically only open on weekend nights, leaving me quite a bit of free time in between! I care for your pets with the same care, love, and patience as if they are my own. You set the house rules and guidelines, and I do everything I can to keep things feeling as routine and normal as possible for them.
“Karen is THE BEST! She took care of our sweet Bella and our home over the freezing weekend in NOLA. She went above and beyond by making sure our pipes didn’t freeze and our puppy was loved! We didn’t worry at all when we were away since she took care of everything! Can’t say enough about how wonderful she is !!”

About: I've grown up with dogs. I helped care for my family dog from childhood until moving out after college. While living with my father and step mother in between college and medical school I helped care for their family dog. I took them for walks, fed them, provided water, and cleaned up after them as my step mom's dog sometimes had stomach issues. I've also pet sat my little sister's dog, who also needed to take vitamins and antibiotics at night and needed eye creams. I am currently a 4th year medical student who spends most of her free time outside of the hospital studying. Having the opportunity to go for a daily walk outside could easily fit anywhere in my weekend routine, as well as an evening or early morning walk on weekdays. I would love the opportunity to get some sunlight and fresh air while providing that for your dogs as well. Pet sitting in the evenings, over night or on weekends can also seamlessly fit my schedule. I can easily come by after coming home from the hospital to provide your pup with food, water, and a walk outside before we settle down to study, and take some breaks to play with dog toys or nap, or however your pup wants to spend our time together. I don't currently have a pet where I live currently, my dog lives back home with my father and step mother. While I lived with them, I would feed our dog in the morning then let him out into our back patio/yard to pee and poop and get some fresh air, and we would do the same at night. He also enjoyed sitting outside with me when I would take a break from studying, but I always kept an eye out for any signs that he'd been sitting out in the sun for a while and would make sure he'd go back inside and get some cool air and water. I would also take him on a walk either in the morning or in the evening. In your home, if you have a preference on when, where, and how you want these things to happen I will follow them. Otherwise I would take the approach of feeding them in the morning and at night, taking them for a walk or a short trip outside to pee and poop, and make sure they have water. If you prefer your pet be placed in their crate before I leave I will do that as well.

The average cost of House Sitting in Chalmette is $38 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $44 per night.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Chalmette walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Chalmette maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Chalmette choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
