“You are an angel. My girls always get excited when we are in the neighborhood of Ms. Elena and Paco. They already know they are about to be pampered by Ms. Elena and have fun with Paco. Thank you very much, Ms. Elena!”
“Dee and her family are so special. We scheduled a meet and greet with her pups and Bella was a good match. There are never more than four dogs at all times. Dee's profile mentioned that the dogs are treated like family members. I found this to be so true. Dee sent pictures of Bella throughout the two weeks that she stayed and she seemed extremely happy and content. I think we have found our perfect family for Bella's stays while I am away on travel.”
“Iryna was incredibly sweet and nurturing to our cats, Ziggy & Roux! Her communication with me throughout their stay with her was impeccable. We hope to work with Iryna again!”
“Etta is great with Riley! I’ve got a German Shepherd and it was really important to me to board with someone who is familiar with them. Etta is very in tune with the animals she watches and really knows her stuff with dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving Riley with her.”
“Rachel and Mike took great care of our pups! This was our first time with a new sitter and they acclimated so easily. Rachel sent us photos daily and I have a sneaking suspicion that one of our dogs didn’t want to come home haha!”
“Michael was wonderful with my dog, Lanie Lou! She’s an old girl, and he was gentle and lovely with her. I would definitely recommend him. I got updates with pictures, and felt like if she needed anything, he was on the ball. Communication was great too. Highly recommend”
“Mary was amazing!! She was so easy to contact and she sent pictures and updates about my dog Max that stayed with her. He seemed to have a great time and he got along with her dog as well. Will definitely contact her again! 😊”
“Madison is an absolute gem. She took in our two puppies for several nights while we were out of town, and they loved being there with her. We felt completely at ease while away, and Madison was great about keeping in touch and updating us on how they were getting along at hers. We can't recommend her enough--she has created a wonderful, loving environment for her animals, and yours. We'll definitely be using her again!”
“Our pups loved staying with Roxanne and her husband. She works from home so our boys loved keeping her company. We are traveling by RV and she is only 14 min away from New Orleans RV Resort and Marina. We were able to spend 2 days in the city and knew our pups were being well cared for. Highly recommend.”
“Mike is phenomenal and can be trusted with your pet - he plays with them and genuinely cares for dogs. I love that he has 2 dachshunds since my dog is also one - he was so understanding of my dog’s silly traits. He also sent constant photos/videos, which made me feel at ease about leaving my dog for 9 nights. He was super flexible for logistics and a great communicator.”
“Amira was warm, welcoming, and well-prepared when I dropped off Pilot. Her communication was excellent, and it sounded like they had a great time together. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“Ms Evlin was veryyy attentive to our fur baby. She kept us updated with photos daily; throughout the day. Her communication was great 😊 we’re very excited and pleased to know we have someone who cares for our fur baby as much as we do. Thank youuuuu again and again Ms Evlin. You’re PAWSOME 🐾”
“There’s not enough thank you notes I can give Sarah. As we are traveling across states for the holidays, she accommodated us and took care of my baby. We had many issues in our traveling and she still accommodated. I also loved that Sarah took Pluto out several times throughout the day and he obviously felt right at home. I’d recommend her to everyone! She was amazing!”
“Michelle and family did a great job watching my dog while I was out of town. She sent plenty of pictures every single day and was very prompt in responding to any questions I had. Upon my return, my energetic pup looked happy and healthy after his 4 day stay!”
“☀️Absolutely perfect stay! I chose Randy to keep our Havanese because he works at home all day. Additionally, Randy’s little dog, Winston, is a breed that plays well with other dogs and is especially liked by our dog, Ryan. Randy sent several pictures every day and provided detailed answers to each of our questions. He was extremely easy to communicate with throughout the entire staycation for our pup. Randy was conscientious of my dog’s needs and considerate of our care routine. Our dog drinks Kentwood and I change his dishes each day; Randy did not blink at this boujee request. With Ryan’s stay being over the 4th of July, Randy thought ahead about how Ryan reacts to fireworks. Randy took the dogs on several walks each day. Ryan was happy and all his needs were exceeded. I would definitely book a stay with Randy and his pup, Winston, again. ⭐️5 star recommendation⭐️”
“Recently, I boarded my Golden Doodle and Dachshund with Juliana, and I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. Juliana was attentive, professional, and provided daily updates on my pets’ well-being. I highly recommend Juliana for anyone seeking safe, reliable pet boarding services.”
“Loren has been incredible! She obviously cares for her animals very much and will care for yours the same. She's communicative, responsive, and extremely flexible and accommodating with your and your pets needs. My dog Pearl loves her time with Loren and her animals!”
“Alyssa was great. I was able to book her last min and she took very good care of my French bulldog. She sent me pictures throughout the stay and kept me updated. I will use her again.”
“Shannon was amazing! She took great care of our dogs, was very kind and communicative, and sent us plenty of updates. Would highly recommend and would book with her again.”
“Alejandra was fantastic! She took great care of my dog and sent me regular pictures of how he was doing. He seemed really happy at Alejandra's house. I look forward to having Jack(dog) stay there again!”

Desire dog parents share their Rover experiences
Loren is a spectacular sitter!! She was available for a last minute request when my previous plans fell through, and spent so much time giving my elderly dog the care she needed. When an incident happened with another dog in care, Loren was very attentive and proactive in getting my dog to the vet and keeping me updated, filing the incident with Rover, communicating with the other pet parent, as well as explaining the Rover claim process ongoing. Such a sweet person with a heart for dogs and I’m very thankful to have found her for this sitting need and I can’t wait to book her again!
Absolutely amazing pet sitter! They took such great care of my fur baby — super reliable, communicative, and clearly love animals. I got regular updates and photos, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pet. I had total peace of mind the whole time. I would 100% recommend and will definitely be booking again!
Amira was warm, welcoming, and well-prepared when I dropped off Pilot. Her communication was excellent, and it sounded like they had a great time together. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!
Michael provided excellent dog boarding for my dog. He was really flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, and kept me updated throughout with photos and messages about how my dog was doing. I felt totally at ease knowing my pup was in good hands. Thanks so much, Michael—will definitely book again next time I’m in town!
Gaelle provided frequent communication and pictures. Was very patient and understanding with the anxiety that Zoey appeared to have with going to a new sitter.
Etta is the best! My Lilly views Etta like an aunt who spoils her niece and nephews! My dog loves her, and we do too!
I have never left my fur baby with anyone, something important I had to handle, so I had to find a sitter for my Luckie Ace, I found Victoria, she was perfect 💯 😂😂 he loved her, didn't wanna leave!!!! Thank you again,Victoria. I definitely will be calling you again…😘
Leo had a great time with Evlin! We will definitely use her services next time we are in New Orleans👍
Oshie took such great care of my sick senior dog, Stella. She followed Stella’s strict feeding schedule (due to diabetes), gave her insulin injections and eye drops, and made sure she got lots of love and attention. She sent me regular updates and photos and was very communicative the entire time. I was really nervous to trust someone with Stella, but Oshie made it possible for me to enjoy my vacation knowing she was in good hands.
