“Aura was a life saver. I booked her super last minute , had to go out of town and unfortunately my cat was dealing with an allergic reaction when I had to leave. Aura was very attentive of my cat and always was in detailed in how her condition was coming along. Many pics of course. THANK YOU AURA!!!!!”
“Hannah took such wonderful care of our beloved kitty, Minou, over the holidays (including Christmas and New Year’s) for two full weeks. From the moment we booked, she was flexible, communicative, and totally committed to ensuring Minou had everything he needed—plus plenty of love and attention. Not only did we come home to an extremely happy and content kitty, but Hannah also went above and beyond by helping with a few little household things that popped up while we were away. Her frequent updates gave us peace of mind, and it was clear how much she genuinely cares about animals. We’re so glad we found her, and we’ll absolutely be booking Hannah again next time Minou needs a sitter!”
“Alexis was beyond amazing! I needed help last minute and didn’t have time for a meet and greet. She followed all instructions to a T! She was so patient and bonded immediately with my senior dog. She took him on a stroller ride and cuddled with him on the couch. Thank you for giving my old man so much love, I truly appreciate you!!!!”
“Wonderful! Very accommodating and my babies love her! Goes above and beyond each time she visits my furbabies! Such a treasure to the New Orleans Rover community! ”
“Daphne cared for our 16 year old cat for 9 days while we were out of the country. We received detailed updates and pictures twice a day. It was clear that she made a real effort to coax our elderly cat to eat, spent time just sitting with her on her lap,and making her feel "tended to". She also had no problem administering several medications that she takes, and seemed very competent and knowledgeable. She volunteered to take out our trash bins, and turned on and off our porch lights. Daphne is mature and able to handle any pet or home situation, she communicates effectively, and I would not hesitate to use her again.”
“Ashley was so easy to work with and took such good care of my boy. It was my wedding night, and my dog was the ring bearer, but I needed someone to take care of him for a little while during the reception. She made the process so stress free. Just an invaluable peace of mind during the chaos of a wedding! Would highly recommend her to take care of your furbabies.”
“Jailah was incredible! She helped me when I made several errors making my first booking. She sent great pics and was great with the dogs! Definitely will book again:).”
“PSA: BOOK E FOR ALL YOUR PET NEEDS🗣️🔊 I cannot say enough good things about E. We will use them everytime we go on vacation. E came to our place before our trip to get a vibe of the cats, learn the home, and just understand what we needed. It was so professional and made us feel so safe and comforted to leave our cats with E. Immediately, our cats loved E! Every visit, E took so many pictures, and that really helped us on our 2 week vacation. They did everything we asked them too - they tailor their care to what you need them too. E loves all pets and we could immediately feel that. They also caught a big problem! Our AC went out while we were gone, and E let us know, and fixed it by finding the circuit box to turn it back on. That gave us peace of mind and saved us $$$$ to not have to call a HVAC guy. Overall, do yourself a favor and book E!!!🥰🥰”
“This is the second time Allegra has watched our two chihuahuas, Cookie and Lucy, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have found her. She is incredibly patient and kind with both dogs—especially important with our chihuahuas, who can be a bit particular and take time to warm up. Allegra is also 100% reliable and always communicates clearly, which gives us peace of mind when we’re away. Her Rover cards are detailed and thoughtful, with plenty of photos and notes that show she really understands and cares for each of their personalities. We can tell our girls are comfortable and well cared for every time Allegra visits. Highly recommend!”
“Deana was great. She sent tons of pictures and my cat seemed to warm up to her very quickly. She gave a detailed report on everything my little buddy was up to. Shes a lifesaver!”
“Victoria is great! She has watched my corgi several times, but this time, we added our cat into the mix! She kept me well informed and even had to deal with a very sad and mood kitty! She is the best sitter we could ever ask for!”
“Margarida did a great job with both my cats, she took her time with them while they eased into meeting someone new. She sent detailed updates and a lot of pictures/videos. They were both in great spirits even after us being gone 5 days. Would definitely book again.”
“Robbin was SO wonderful with my sweet Nola. She provided prompt communication and even was able to extend her stay when I needed her to. She’s great! My baby and home were well cared for.”
“Kristiana was wonderful with my pets. She was very communicative about everything, which is helpful with an elderly dog and cat. I would trust her with the care of my pets any day and I highly recommend!”
“Cody was extremely helpful, making sure everything happened according to the directions. She loved and handled the pups well who have A LOT of energy! 10/10”
“Hana was the best Rover person ever. She took great care of my two boys, (dogs). Always sent great pictures and left a blog on the entire stay. I was able to relax knowing she was there every day.. Thank you Hana!”
“Noah is our go to dog sitter whenever we have to go out of town. Noah is reliable, provides regular updates, plays with our pup and ensures that all of our pups needs are met. Knowing that Noah is taking care of our Benji when we’re away puts our mind at ease. I am so happy to have found this service and will continue to book Noah for future trips :)”

Freret pet parents share their Rover experiences
Loren is fantastic! She did drop by visits with my two high energy pities. They can’t do walks in the summer due to medication they’re on, so they need playtime in the backyard for their exercise. She was great, played with them and then spent some snuggle time with them during the visits. My two pups are big fans! I have a lot of anxiety when I leave my dogs, but it was clear that Loren is an animal lover, and she gave my babies tons of attention.
Ashley was very professional and kept us updated every day. I appreciated the daily pictures, updates, and kind feedback, as well as her administering her insulin twice daily. I would definitely want Ashley to sit for us the next time we have to go out of town.
Samantha is excellent! It was my first time leaving cats for a week and Samantha made it easy for me to be away and not worry. She gave updates twice a day with photos, and patiently answered my text questions. Samantha went above and beyond the required. Great communication skills. Reliable, responsible, and flexible. I highly recommend Samantha!
Enjoying our vacation was easy knowing our baby was in the very capable hands of Camille! She goes above and beyond to make sure our finicky kitty is comfortable, happy, & well taken care of. She’s incredibly professional & the communication is top tier, which is just what we look for in a pet sitter. Our baby boy isn’t always the sweetest to strangers, so we were elated to see how well he got along with Camille. She has a way with animals. We travel often and haven’t lived in the area for long, so we didn’t have any other option than Rover. Our first booking was scary, but we got sooo lucky with Camille. We still feel guilty having to leave behind our baby, but knowing he’s in more than capable hands takes away some of that stress. I would give you 10 stars if I could!
Cristina is the best cat sitter we've ever had. She clearly loves animals, she asked thoughtful questions when meeting us and gave great updates throughout the days of her cat sitting for us. She really went above and beyond for our kitties, Fiona and Moses, and we will certainly turn to Cristina for our future cat sitting needs. If you want a sitter who is conscientious, attentive, and will give your furry family members the love they deserve, look no further!
