“Desirae is awesome! She took such great care of my fur babies and I had no fears about being away from them. I am so grateful to have had her to ease my mind while I was out of town. Thank you!”
“Willem did a great job watching my golden. Sent me videos everyday, took him to the park, and was very thorough before I left for the weekend. Will use Willem again!”
“Jessica (and Poppy) were so great. This was Butternut's first ever time away and I never worried at all while he was with Jessica. She kept me updated and you can tell she's professionally worked with and is comfortable with all sorts of dogs. She's who I'll leave Butternut with every time I need to if I'm able”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, providing daily exercise, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or a calm environment for senior pets. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, monitoring for changes in behavior or health, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. As a teacher, I bring patience, responsibility, and strong communication skills to every pet-sitting experience. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and cared for while creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a teacher, I have a structured schedule and plenty of flexibility during evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I enjoy being active, so daily walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures are something I genuinely look forward to. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and attention. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or overnight care, I make sure every pet receives reliable, consistent care and feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home or my own, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and bathroom breaks while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until their family returns home.
“Anne did such an amazing job watching my dog calypso! Calypso had never spent time away from me and she had never really spent any time around other dogs, but Anne was so patient and understanding! She sent me pictures of calypso every single day and gave me updates On how she was doing! There was always someone spending time at home so calypso never had to worry about being alone! When I left calypso had horrible separation anxiety and was scared of other dogs, when I came back she was confident and her fear of other dogs was pretty much gone! I will continue to trust Anne with my puppy anytime I travel to NOLA and I definitely suggest that you do too! Thank you so much Anne!!”
“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!”
About: Neighbors, friends and family members have counted on me for over 15 years to walk, feed, and cuddle their pets. I love dogs and wish I could have one, but tend to travel a bit for work which makes it hard. Rover gives me the chance to love on pets despite my work schedule. The two dogs you’ll see on my profile are dogs I originally dog sat, and then adopted when their first mom (who is elderly) went into a nursing home. They lived a nice, easy-going life with me, and have since passed away of old age. I have a lot of flexibility with my job and miss being a pet parent, so Rover gives me the opportunity to see and play with animals without the cost of having one on my own. I am trustworthy, reliable, and happy to provide any references. I’ve got about 10 pets in New Orleans that I watch, walk, or sit for regularly and I love them like they were my own. If dog sitting at your house, you can count on me to be there for your pet and make sure they are fed, walked and played with every day. I am also happy to do the same at my house where I have a fenced in, turfed yard and lots of room to play or sunbathe!
“Percy kept my pups Enzo and Marley I will 100% be booking with him again!! He was very easy to get in touch with and kept me updated on how my babies were doing daily. I know they were treated like family!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs or has dogs since I was little. When I got older I decided to get my own dog because they are so loving. I have plenty of time on my hands to give lots of love and attention to your pets. Your pet can fit in my daily routine especially because I own one of my own. Your pet is your family and I understand what it’s like to be away from them. But your pets will be completely safe with whatever you prefer me doing for your pets to make you and your pets feel safe and comfortable .
“I can’t say enough positive things about Jessica! She is extremely professional, polite, dependable, and simply a kind person! Bosco had a fabulous stay with her and her husband during our daughter’s wedding in New Orleans. She picked Bosco up at our downtown hotel and dropped him off all in a very safe travel environment. Bosco enjoyed the daily walks and Jessica’s spacious fenced in backyard! He talks to me 🤣 and told me he loved his stay! As a a native New Orleanian working in Houston, we will absolutely contact Jessica whenever we have overnight needs for Bosco!”
About: I've had pets since I was a pre-teen, and recently I've been a rescue foster for dogs & cats for the past 2 years, so I have cared for many animals, many with behavioral issues. I have two rescue pitbulls and two rescue cats of my own. I have been working from home as a nonprofit contractor & artist. Although I do not have a car, I am able to bop around town via bike I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who would love to keep your doggy company. I also have a large crate in a separate front room if they need their own space.
“Kenneth watched my dog nova for a day and overnight when I went to a Mardi Gras parade and I can’t be more pleased. First off it was last minute and during Mardi Gras nonetheless so it was very challenging to find someone, Kenneth made it easy and responded to my request almost immediately. I was able to drop nova off and felt like I left her in good hands. Kenneth sent me lots of videos and photos during his time with nova which was also super appreciated. And finally when I was an hour late picking her up because I lost my keys and had to wait on a locksmith, he didn’t mind. Overall if I could give 6 stars I would and if I need a dog sitter in New Orleans again I know who to ask. Thanks so much Kenneth!”
“Oshie was a wonderful sitter for Millie. The communication was great and prompt, she made sure I had as many updates of Millie via photos and videos as possible, and she was extremely flexible with my schedule! Millie had a great time while we were on family vacation, almost like having her own vacation! Thank you, Oshie, for the amazing last minute service, and for comforting me with using an out of state sitter for the first time. We are so thankful for you and your family for watching over our girl!”
About: Growing up, my nuclear family cared for roughly thirty cats, both indoor and outdoor. Naturally, part of my daily routine was feeding them all before getting on the school bus, keeping the litter boxes and surrounding areas tidy throughout the day, and of course providing AMPLE love to all. I have experience nursing abandoned kittens to health and maturity, as well as acclimating feral cats into the home. I am more than keen when it comes to feline behavior! (My mother used to "joke" that her four children should come together and open a vet clinic.) Today, my husband and I have a well-trained, 3 year old shepherd mix named Poet, whom we adopted at just 8 weeks old, and a 5 year old American bobtail kitty named Millie, who we also rescued. We both work from home and our animals are our absolute lives. Normal days for us include walks around the neighborhood, as well as trips to City Bark. We have a fenced in backyard for potty time, as well as sun bathing. Both as our animal have free reign of our home; they watch TV with us, answer email with us, snooze with us, cook with us, etc.! You can trust that your fur baby would be met with the same love, adoration, and care that we provide to our own. Both my husband and myself work from home and are able to provide near-constant care for your fur babies, whether that pertain to potty breaks or play time! We have a modest fenced in yard, as well as one dog and one cat of our own. Both are friendly with all species! We have ample space (spare bedrooms) to set up up a crate/kennel if desired.
“Nolvia was a great sitter for our 2 dogs. Communicated well throughout the stay and was very patient with one of our less than well behaved pups. I would certainly trust her again with poppy and Lucy.”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Elmwood is $40

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 Pet 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 497 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Elmwood. About 91% of Elmwood sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
