“Kate went above and beyond with our two cats that we had to leave for an extended amount of time. We received multiple updates and fun photos each visit. It gave us such peace of mind to know they were safe and being well taken care of. She even updated us on weather conditions and helped prepare our home for an upcoming storm when we couldn’t return home in time. We will definitely be rebooking Kate in the future and know our two boys will be very excited to see us go!”
About: I started dog-sitting in college. I've taken care of blind senior dogs, puppies, adult dogs, not to mention guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, turtles...the list goes on!! I work from home, so I can take my laptop anywhere! I do have a strict work schedule, but it doesn't matter where I am. I treat my pets like they're my kids, so your pets would be like my nieces and nephews...lots of fun but I'll give 'em back!! When dog-sitting in your home, I try to leave everything just as you left it.
“Lori was extremely caring and attentive to my three dogs during an extended Thanksgiving trip. Upon my return the dogs were very happy and obviously well adjusted to my absence. I would use Lori again. Five stars!”
“Celeste was so sweet! We felt very comfortable having her watch our cat while we were out of town. She was super accommodating and we loved the photos that she sent us. We will definitely book with Celeste again.”
“I was so thrilled to have found such a cat caring person like Rae. Excellent communication. My 3 cats and one outdoor community cat posed for so many photos. I felt like I was at home with them. Thank you Rae. I will definitely let you know next time I travel. 😻😻😻😻”
“Adam was great with our dog and cat. He made sure to get all the important details on our pets care and made sure they had everything they needed. Our pets were well taken care of while we were gone. Would recommend and plan to use Adam in the future!”

About: ---> Sorry, I do NOT accept most spunky, young dogs Over 40 pounds. Most of the small pets I care for cannot physically handle playing with most dogs over 40 pounds. (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 & your pet can book me for a caring, one hour, drop-in visit to your home, a few overnight visits, or an extended stay at my house. You need help at the last minute ... ? No problem. I can easily provide safe pet transportation. 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 40 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 gated entry, front-yard/patio. I can provide crates if needed. My 20pound dog is 8yrs. old and he is very mellow & well behaved. He welcomes another dog friend anytime. We have a trusted routine for introducing new pet guests.
“Olivia was great! She always spent extra time with our fur babies than she needed to and made sure they got plenty of love and affection while we were out of town. She made sure to update us every day with photos and some videos as well! Highly recommend”
About: I’ve grown up with whole life with dogs, so I know the importance of taking care of your 4-legged family member(s) that are important in your life. I want to provide my services so that your fur baby is safe and comfortable in their own home, while you are alway from home. I’ve had small dogs such as jack Russell’s and as big as pit bulls in my family. No fur baby is too big or too small to love and care for. I am currently not working since I am finishing my degree in Nursing. The only work I have been doing is part-time babysitting and dog sitting on the side & weekends. I am mostly available weekdays from 8am-8pm. Weekends can be tricky for me due to other side jobs such as babysitting, so it just depends. Just ask if you have questions about any specific weekend. I currently have a recused pitbull-husky mix living in my home with me, that loves to play all day. She is recently just finished her heart worm treatment as of August 2025. We just started slowly becoming active again. Due to her circumstances, I have been able to learn more about pets medication and aiding in helping her through this process. Unfortunately, I can not have any pets in my home due to renting restrictions of no more than 1 dog. However, I am available to help with other pets medications and care for your fur pup in your home.
About: I have been caring for pets for most of my life. I have 2 cats, Blue and Teigen, who are about 10 years old. They are my children! I have more experience caring for cats than I do dogs. But I love to hang out with dogs and get a day of running around in, which we both need💞 I work from home part time- so aside from caring for my own 2 cats, I have full availability to take care of your babies. I’m looking forward to building trusting relationships with owners and pets! I follow each clients instructions carefully and care for their pets as if they were my own. I am currently offering drop ins for cats and dog walking. I am also open to house sitting!
“She’s just awesome!!! She’s on time and professional. Gives great feedback on each visit giving us ease of mind. I will continue using Liz to take care of my fur babies.”
“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 worked as a full time teacher during the week, but I am a full time pet lover at all other times of the day. I am willing to learn and grow with your pet and their likes and dislikes. I have owned pets all my life, from horses to cats to sheep and pigs, but dogs and I really connect with each other. I am a total dog lover. I have 2 dogs of my own who love to meet and play with other pups. Request any info necessary to increase how comfortable with your dog with me. I look forward to meeting you and your dog whenever you book. Thanks in advance for everything!! Full time dog sitter with other part time work such as dog walking. Working on school as well, so I have time to give the dogs full attention. The dogs I sit have the same things I give my dogs such as treats and comfy spots to sit and nap. I have a porch for playing as well.
“Faith was great with my four cats! Even the one who hides all the time she made sure he had his food. Twice a day feedings and litter maintenance. Will for sure request her again!”
Elmwood cat parents share their Rover experiences
We had such an amazing experience with Olivia while we were away on our honeymoon! She was incredible with administering our cat’s daily eye medication and spent so much time playing with and loving on our fur baby while we were gone. The daily report cards and photos gave us so much peace of mind and truly reassured us that our cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for back at home. We are so grateful for the attention, communication, and care she provided and would absolutely book with her again!
Liz was wonderful. We are first time Rover users and were very nervous to take a weekend trip and utilize the platform. We have 2 senior cats, one with a chronic condition requiring medicine administration and a little extra tlc. Liz’s communication from the start was great. She was professional, accommodating, and worked with our furbabies to make them feel comfortable. I’m really happy with her service, would highly recommend, and would book again!
I hired Jackie to come to my apartment once a week and check on my two beta fish tanks and my tarantula. I was so relieved that she took the job because a lot of people are too intimidated by spiders to accept. She went above and beyond taking care of my fish and my spider, going so far as to troubleshoot my filters and test my tank water. She is extremely knowledgeable about fish and spent a lot of time making sure they were OK. This is so much more than I expected and I felt so confident leaving my pets in her care. She was Amazing with my tarantula and even offered to go to the store and get more crickets for her when she ran out. She sent me pictures and asked questions when she wasn’t sure how to proceed with her and I was really relieved to know that all of my pets were getting a lot of attention and care. It was very obvious that Jackie really cared about doing a good job of taking care of my pets. She is very detailed with her check-in visits and always takes pictures. she is extremely capable and responsible and I felt very safe giving her my keys and access to my house. I would hire Jackie again in a second and if you are looking for a sign to hire her, this is definitely it! Wish I could give her 100 stars.
I cannot express how grateful I am for Hannah! She came through for me at the very last minute and completely saved the day. From the moment we connected, she was incredibly communicative, kind, and caring. She kept me updated the whole time even while overseas and I could tell she genuinely cared for my cat like her own. I truly appreciate her and will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!!
