“Elizabeth stayed at our house to pet sit for our senior kitty. Elizabeth gave picture updates and was communicative the entire time while we were away. When we arrived, our kitty had clearly gotten tons of care and attention! The house was also kept clean and tidy just like when we left. Will definitely be using Elizabeth on future trips!”

“Chloe did a fantastic job taking care of my pups! I loved all the photos and updates. They were happy and my home was as clean as I left it. Thank you, Chloe, Cohiba & Ollie look forward to seeing you soon!”


“Cheryl has watched our girls many times and has always been great and dependable. We always appreciate her care and professionalism. Thanks again for everything.”

“Madelynn did a great job caring for our babies! She frequently sent us pictures, videos and updates, which we really appreciated. Each time she sent us pics and videos, our babies looked happy and relaxed. We are so grateful to her!”

“Jaimie was spectacular. Easy to contact, super sweet with our pup. We felt really comfortable leaving our baby with Jaimie and she knows the area and had lots of great suggestions. Highly recommend Jaimie to anyone who needs animal sitting when in New Orleans! Thanks Jaimie!”

“Brooke took excellent care of our dog and cat at our place while we were away for a week. She communicated frequently with any updates or issues and went above and beyond on the last day when there was a lockout/spare key incident. We and our pets would be happy to have her stay again.”

About: I have always been exposed to dogs, growing up in a house with several, which has taught me how to interact with them and speak their language. After adopting my own herding dog at 8 weeks I have taken several positive reinforcement training classes, read multiple books from different perspectives, and have been training dogs for the past 4 years using the methods I have learned. It is important to me to monitor a dogs behavior and body language in relation to other dogs and I am skilled at managing groups of dogs or problem dogs so that everyone has healthy positive interactions. Currently I'm dog sitting full time as I transition to a new place of employment so I'm able to give your loved ones full attention! I have a gated driveway with a fenced in backyard, also have a clean dog friendly minimalist house with room to play indoors, my priority would be making your pup happy and comfortable.
“Mindy was extremely kind to our reactive pup. She made time to meet with us prior to her stay at our house. She sent updates and managed multiple medications for our dog. Our house was clean, and our plants were happy. Excited to have found a unicorn dog/house sitter!”

“Janna watched my dog overnight and was great! He was very content when I arrived home and was even trying to lay in the guest bed later on that he stayed with her in. Janna left the house spotless! She has also walked my dog twice before and he always appears to be happy after her visits.”

“Highly recommend Martha! This was my first time leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know, and she put all my worries to bed after the meet and greet. Sent daily pictures and messages, so I knew my dog was having a nice time :) Very attentive to the details I laid out and responsive to any questions or concerns I had throughout the entire experience and left my house just like it was when she arrived. I would book her again and would easily recommend her to anyone else!”

“Caitlin was wonderful with my two dogs. She was extremely responsive from the start--even before the stay--and communicated often during the stay with pictures and to give updates. One of my dogs has some allergy issues that require as-needed oral medication, and Caitlin was great about reaching out to update me on my dog's symptoms and then giving him the medicine. My dog also has pretty bad separation anxiety. Caitlin was wonderful with him and my dog even warmed up to her after a day or so--he's usually skittish when I'm gone, so that's really saying something!”

“Hanna took care of our 3 animals in home. She asked detailed questions and communicated frequently while we were away. She is trustworthy and reliable. Would recommend 100%.”

About: I’ve been caring for family members pets & my own since i was young, including caring for senior dogs & cats. I am adamant about throughly cleaning up (both after myself & any pet friends!) & am capable of doing most tasks a companion could need! I currently have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most needs with little notice! I’m willing to do check-ins & walks several times a day. I am able to provide lots of love, attention, & structure for your pet(s) in the comfort of their own home. From long walks & play time to light grooming & bedtime routines I’ll be there for your pet providing services that best suit your needs.
About: Animals have always been a major piece of the puzzle that makes me whole. I’ve been fascinated by the animal kingdom and I feel complete when spending time with animals. I’m from Los Angeles and then moved up to a ranch in Santa Barbara county with countless animals to hang out with! My family have had many dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, and more through out my time on this wonderfully diverse planet. I am a freelance writer and musician with flexibility that meets your schedule. Mon-Sun I am ready to watch your fur babies and strive for excellence in making them as comfortable and happy as possible. I am extremely cautious about the safety and needs of my house cats. For example, I have made a cat enclosure on our front porch. I will provide the same level of security and comfortable space, enforcing rules and standards depending on your needs.
“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!”

About: I am a highly athletic and dependable pet sitter and walker. I have worked with petite yorkies all the way up to great pyrenes. I believe in positive reinforcement and transparency. Let me know how I can best serve your pet(s)! I am available Thursday-Sunday, and most mornings. I like to be active and can run dogs for 30 minutes, or walk for an hour at a time. I grew up in a household where we walk our dogs twice daily, no exceptions. I believe physical and mental exercises are necessary for all animals we share our homes with.

Chloe was absolutely wonderful!! She took great care of our 3 dogs. She stayed in our home and took great care of the place. I really enjoyed getting photos of the dogs while we were away, Chloe definitely understood we would be missing them and took initiative and made sure to keep us updated and our feelings of worry went away. I felt like I could enjoy my vacation because of the great care I knew my dogs were getting. I will definitely be having Chloe back to watch our dogs when we leave town again. Thank you so much Chloe!!

Adam is a very caring person who watched over our standard poodle and our house for over 2 weeks. He is very communicative. We got lots of videos and messages about how things were going. He played with the dog a lot and took him for great walks. We would absolutely use his services again!

Marion was incredible with my high needs dogs who have reactivity issues and special needs. She was so kind and patient with their needs, and was super communicative with me and made me feel so comfortable. She went above and beyond in their care and in caring for my household too. My dogs loved her and so did I!

I never write reviews because I like to maintain my privacy. Nevertheless, it would be an absolute crime if i did not leave a review for Bianca. She is a top tier sitter. She created daily reports on how my fur babies did each day; sending me pictures throughout the day. She kept my house spotless, but most importantly my fur babies happy. She took them on multiple walks and I could tell they now miss her since we have returned. She will now be my 1st choice every time i use Rover. Thank you Bianca!

We had Caroline stay at our house and care for our very energetic one year old lab and our old man cat. She had no problem handing our dog’s high energy or our cat’s grumpiness. She took great care of them and our home. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Rebecca communicated with us promptly at all times. She was on time/early and went out of her way to make my wife and I and our furry friends feel like part of her family. I'd recommend her to anyone. 5 stars is t enough. 🤷♂️ Thank you Becca. Next time we're in N.O. we'll be reaching out. 👍👍
