“Ellen was so attentive and loving to my girl while I was away. Spent time giving her love and attention as well as taking care of her feeding / walking needs. She was super attentive and gave lots of picture updates too. Would definitely book again.”

“Victoria is amazing with my cat! My kitty can be a bit stubborn and have an attitude at times, but Victoria works her magic and always manages to get him out of hiding. She consistently sends wonderful photos and updates, which I really appreciate. I’ve relied on her multiple times, from weekends to full weeks, and she’s always been fantastic!”


“Daphne cared for my 17 year old cat who required multiple medications, and needed lots of TLC. I would not hesitate to use her again, as she is mature, responsible, and doesn’t just do the bare minimum necessary. She really spent time with my cat, and I received lots of feedback and pictures.”

About: Foster dog mom and dog sitter. Recently lost my beagle and miss pup time. I treat my friend’s dogs like my own and they actually encouraged me to start a profile. I like walking and don’t mind slow sniffers. I’m aware of squirrels and cats in my neighborhood and avoid them when necessary. I work full time but have availability evenings and weekends. Looking forward to long walks, tails wagging while sniffing and again meeting daily step goals. I have a small backyard and shotgun house which I own. I can crate if necessary but if your fur baby is trustworthy, I’m happy to let him or her free range guard my house during the day. The window facing the street is typically pretty entertaining. I got rid of my dog camera when Maggie passed away but may set an iPad up, again. Meet n Greets prior to a stay is a must, my foster dog is dog-shy at first but loves people.
“Danielle watched our dog Finley while we were away on spring break. We both felt immediately comfortable with her on our first visit. He was very well cared for. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”

“Ah-maze-ing! Doc not only kept amazing care of our furry family member who hates cat rides (ahem, cat), she also brought us sincere peace of mind with her thoughtful and kind updates after every visit! No doubt it was time consuming to write to us after every visit, but it was much appreciated! thank you, Doc! We appreciate you!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats and have always loved caring for them. I regularly walk and watch pets for friends and family. I currently have one sweet cat of my own and treat every pet like they’re part of the family! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work from home with a flexible schedule. Walks are a great midday break, and my evenings and weekends are usually open, making it easy to provide reliable, consistent care throughout the week. When caring for pets in my home or others, I prioritize their safety, comfort and routine, I treat every pet with love, patience, and reliable attention – just like they’re my own. You can trust that your pet is in caring, capable hands at all times.
“Samantha was such a kind and communicative sitter for our sweet boy! She took the time to come meet him first and always shared thorough updates and loved on our kitty and was attentive to his unique personality. We highly recommend choosing Samantha for your fur babes & will definitely book her again! Thanks Samantha!”

“Margarida was wonderful and very communicative when caring for my cat Sophie. I felt confident and assured with Sophie’s well being the entire time. I highly recommend her!”


“Robin did an awesome job with my baby King!! She was very attentive and had no problem showing King extra love and attention. I will be contacting her again in the future”

“Erica obviously loves animals and kept our cats and chickens happy and healthy. Wonderful updates allowed us to enjoy our travels absolutely worry free. Absolutely recommend.”

About: Hi!! I’m Eva, a graduate from LSU & currently in my MBA at Loyola. I have hands-on experience through fostering, volunteer work, and caring for dogs with a range of temperaments. I’m familiar with training basics, positive reinforcement, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m calm, attentive, and reliable, and I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment while keeping owners updated and at ease.

Whether in my home or a client’s home, I keep the space clean, calm, and comfortable and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and informed.

About: Hi, I’m Mike! I’ve had dogs my whole life, and have spent the last few years working as a dog sitter and walker. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including hyperactive pups and senior dogs with mobility issues. I also have experience administering medicine. I am a 1000% dog LOVER so rest assured your furry friends will get all the love, attention, and play they deserve :) My schedule is flexible and I’m able to travel anywhere on the East Bank for walks and visits, potentially farther for a house stay! I don’t have any pets but my friends and neighbors regularly trust me to care for their best friends and I look forward to doing the same for you! <3 I’m seeking to continue taking care of pups full-time here in New Orleans so I’ve got nothing but time :) I don’t mind early mornings or late evenings! If a dog has a lot of energy, I love to match it and play all day! If they’re a little slower moving and like to smell the roses, I let them take their time :) I’m attentive, patient, and loving❤️❤️

I am a remote worker and student in my day-to-day life, so I can frequently care for pets in my off-time in between classes and while working at home.

East Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
Recently booked Carlie for drop-in visits for our cat during our 5-day vacation. I was worried about leaving her with a rather long to-do list, but she handled it with ease. I also enjoyed the goofy pics she took of my girl and the report card she provided after every visit. She far exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again, Carlie! 😸

Sydney went above and beyond with my girls she is absolutely amazing and an all around beautiful person as well. I didn’t worry once about my girls while I was out of town for the first time ever and she went out of her way to do things that weren’t even required of her. I cannot thank her enough and am I am so lucky I found her !!! BOOK HER ASAP!!!!
Danielle was great! We booked her 24 hrs before an event we needed to attend when we realized our newly adopted pup had separation anxiety. She stayed in our home with both dogs for a couple hours while we were gone. She reassured us that everyone was calm and just fine, allowing us to relax and enjoy our evening. She has a calm energy about her and our dogs immediately loved her. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend Danielle!
