“Thank you Randy for taking great care of Cooper! Communication was great- thanks for the pics and videos. Also love that he only takes small pups! So fun for my small Maltese I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! 🐾❤️”
“I felt so safe leaving my baby with Mrs. D! She is a true animal whisperer. I know that my pup got the same love that she gives her own animals and I found that so comforting. My Santiago got plenty of exercise and I got pictures and videos sent to me while I was working. I will definitely leave my baby with her again in the future. Thank you again 🥰”
“Lynn did an absolutely amazing job with our extremely scared and anxious dog. She took the time to make her feel welcomed (which is not easy) and by the end of the stay our dog was all hugs and kisses with Lynn (she wouldn’t leave her house!). We’ve actually never seen our dog warm up to anyone outside of immediate family so this is a testament to Lynn’s patience and warmth. We are so incredibly grateful for her care and will book again!”
“María was an excellent sitter for Toby :) he was well cared for and a happy pup when I came to pick him up. I will definitely use Maria again when I come back to New Orleans. Thank you for taking care of Toby.”
“Natalie really goes out of her way to make you and your pet a priority. We have a senior dog who recently lost her sister and suffers a bit of separation anxiety, not to mention our own. Natalie stayed in touch throughout the day, providing pics and updates about how our girl was doing. She honestly made us so comfortable through our first trial overnight and we will definitely be using her again.”
“I highly recommend Regina. She sent pics of my baby after she was picked up. She went above and beyond to help me get my dog to her and from her. She is a fantastic lady.”
“Amazing sitter, great communication, very accommodating, and you can tell she truly loves dogs. My dog stayed for a week and I got great updates throughout the stay. 100% recommend and will definitely be using her again!”
“Chayanne was amazing! Huey who is normally very shy, instantly felt at home. He had a nice relaxing weekend napping with Missy. Will definitely use again!”

“Roxanne was great and our boys had a great time. They slept on the ride home which is always a sign of a good stay. We will be using her again.”
“Great experience! Our dog was so well taken care of, and it was obvious she got lots of love and attention. I really appreciated the updates and pictures while I was away, and even got a sweet report card! I came back to a happy pup, and we’ll definitely be using her again!!”
“Britt and James were amazing with our pup! They were quick to respond and so easy to communicate with, which made us feel really comfortable.

About: I recently moved to the New Orleans area after my senior dog passed. While I am not ready to have another pet in my life, I still have so much love to give to all types of animals! I have also volunteered at multiple animal shelters prior to moving to the New Orleans area and I worked at a vet clinic every summer while I was in high school. I am comfortable with senior animal care and administering medication if your pet requires. Since I do not have pets in my home at this time I am happy to board them if needed! I currently work a full time hybrid job. I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays so I would feel comfortable watching your pet in my home or yours during those remote days or if you are out of town for a long weekend. I am able to provide services to any age of pet. I have experience with various ages and animal types. I love to provide any cuddles or love that your pet desires or if they like their own space I will do whatever they feel comfortable with. I am able to administer medication to animals that may need it and follow cleaning and feeding instructions provided by the parent. I always want to make sure that the pet feels comfortable and happy because they are your family member and deserve to be treated like family!

Randy is very kind and loving with our little Dexter. He sent lots of pictures and kept us up to date with everything. He was very understanding about our flight getting canceled and made us feel at ease about having to pick him up the following day. Highly recommend!!
Lynn was absolutely amazing with Zeke! ❤️ From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, caring, and communicative. She sent me video updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel connected to Zeke even while I was away. Her thoughtfulness and willingness to keep me updated truly went above and beyond my expectations. It was clear that Lynn genuinely cared about Zeke and wanted to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Finding someone you can fully trust with your fur baby is priceless, and Lynn is exactly that kind of person. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! I would recommend Lynn to absolutely anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loving with their pets. She’s a gem, and I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Lynn, for taking such wonderful care of our Zeke! 🐾❤️
We were so nervous leaving Charlie for the first time, but Stacy was absolutely amazing! From the moment we dropped Charlie off, Stacy was incredibly warm, professional, and attentive. We received daily updates and photos/videos, which instantly put our minds at ease. It was clear our pup was being loved and cared for just like family. We highly recommend and will definitely book with Stacy again!
Brie was absolutely amazing! 🥰 From the moment I dropped him off, she made me feel completely comfortable. She kept me updated throughout his entire stay with pictures and sweet text updates, and I really appreciated knowing how he was doing. She was also incredibly flexible and understanding with my early schedule and even worked with me when my pickup time changed. That meant a lot and made everything so much easier. He seemed to have such a great time with her and was clearly comfortable and happy during his stay. You can tell Brie genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and I’m so grateful for the love and attention she gave him. ❤️❤️❤️ I would definitely recommend Brie to anyone looking for a sitter they can trust. I’d absolutely book with her again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Our experience with Lori was great! This was our first time ever leaving Gunner. We were very anxious but Lori and husband love for dogs was obvious from the first meeting. Although it was new being away from us, he was taken such great care of by them. We will be using them again for sure! We appreciate the loving care provided for Gunner. Thanks Lori!
Siraaj treated my pup like she was her own. It’s clear she really cares about providing quality care and attention to the dogs that she sits. She consistently sent video and picture updates throughout my dog’s stay. Definitely will be requesting her next time I need a pet sitter.
Parnay was absolutely amazing with my pug, Zeke. From the moment we connected, it was clear how caring, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful he is with animals. Zeke was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Parnay kept me updated, treated Zeke like his own, and went above and beyond to make sure all of Zeke’s needs were met. It’s obvious he has a natural way with dogs and truly understands their routines and personalities. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to trust Parnay again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and exceptional pet caregiver. Thank you, Parnay, for taking such great care of Zeke! 🐾

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Elmwood is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $65 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Elmwood can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Elmwood home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Elmwood.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Elmwood. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Elmwood sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in LA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
