“This is the first time I've used Rover for pet sitting. Kristina was available for the week I needed so I did a meet and greet first and my dogs fell in love with her. She stayed and cared for my babies as if I was still here and sent pictures everyday so I could see their happy faces. Kristina is easy to communicate with and took good care of the dogs and my house. I would highly recommend her. I definitely will call on Kristina again.”


About: I grew up on a farm where I learned about the care for many different animals. I’ve pet sat for others since I was 16 and have been raising my own fur babies for almost 7 years now. I’m gentle, attentive, and value being on time. I’ll treat your fur baby like my own family with professional belly rubs and lots of walks! I am currently in nursing school, so when I’m not in class or at clinicals, I’m available to care for your pet however I am needed any day of the week. I am capable of tailoring care to your pet’s needs. Whether that means needing to be crated, given medication, bathed, or fed a certain way, I will do it. I know how important it is to want to be stress free when leaving your pet in the care of someone else which is why I want to create a safe and trustworthy environment so that you don’t have to worry while away.
“Andrew is great! He really cared about our dog and frequently updated us on how the dog was doing. He also left the house spotless. We will definitely hire him again.”

About: I have had animals around me my whole life. I had my first puppy when I was a teenager and I trained her myself. Once I moved out on my own my now ex partner and I had three dogs. One of those dogs was pregnant so while he was in training I took care of her and helped her give birth to 10 puppies! Afterwards I took care of her and the 10 puppies until they were ready to go to their furrever homes. Now that my partner and I have split I have a cat (whom I love with all my heart). I don’t have any medication administering or senior care experience but I am good at following instructions! I can do pretty much anything and I can handle any size animal! I can handle aggressive animals as long as I have a heads up so I know what to expect! I do not discriminate when it comes to loving them all❤️ I currently work full time M-F, 8-5, in Nashville but I can check on your animal(s) before and/or after work during the week or anytime during the weekends! I have almost every weekend off (with the exception of military training once a month)! I can clean up after them, take them out on a walk, play with them, bathe them, brush them, give them medicine, or pretty much any kind of pet care.
“Louisa did an amazing job! I have a kitty with special care/feeding instructions that require attention to detail that she followed perfectly. She also took great care of my home and provided updates on everything as I away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals just from our initial meet & greet too. I always get so nervous leaving my cat when I go on trips but Louisa absolutely earned my trust and I will be booking with her again in the future for sure as long as she’s still pet sitting. Thank you so much again :)”


About: I grew up with animals, mainly cats and dogs. My fur baby is a 3 yr old mini schnauzer named Lola Mae and I have had her since she was a little puppy. I have dog sat, bird sat, and cat sat before. My husband, Tim, will also assist as needed when you board your baby in our home. I am semi retired and still work at home part time. The rest of my time I volunteer at the local church clothes closet 1 day a week and the rest of my time is used to do other things so my schedule is very flexible. While I am married, I will be the primary care giver of your baby. My husband will assist when needed when you board your baby with me in our home. While we do not have a fully fenced in yard, we do have a safe gated area for the dogs to use to go to the bathroom and play in. When they need to run around outside some I will put your fur baby on its leash. For cats, I pop in a couple of times a day to check on them, their water, and food supply and I can adjust that according to the client's needs. For dogs, we have a partial fenced backyard but we never let our fur baby roam to the front of the house outside. We live on 9 acres which 7 are used for our cattle and 2 acres are for our use and we have a chicken coop on the 2 acres and our fur baby loves to roam the yard. My fur baby loves other animals as well and gets along with other animals. For boarding, I have a large home and if your baby is crate trained we have plenty of room for a crate to be used. I can of course do pet sitting overnight if you are more comfortable with that situation. We don't go out too much so you know that your baby will get the love and attention that they need! Please make sure that your baby is 100% housebroken. While my I am married, I will be the primary care giver of your precious baby but my husband will assist as needed while being boarded in our home.
About: As an aspiring vet, it is my duty to ensure the health and welfare of any animal in my care. I make sure to carefully observe and notate any abnormalities while pet sitting to make sure any issues are caught early on Currently working part-time as a veterinary assistant, on my journey to come a veterinarian, pet care is my everyday life and has been for the past 5 years. I have easy access to a large dog park, and open fields so plenty of outside time is used. My home is also very spacious, plenty of roaming around space with a fenced deck for sunbathing as well
“Griffin was awesome! He is definitely one of the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. He did a great job with the dogs, the house was super clean and he made sure to send us awesome photos of our pups. We will definitely hire him again!”

About: I have five cats and a dog of my own. I love exploring new trails and finding new places to walk. I also have experience administering medication to pets. I grew up with a dog that needed lots of medicine. I have plenty of experience with injections, pills, and liquids. I will treat your baby like my own. I truly miss the animals I watch when I inevitably have to leave. I hope you will trust me with your baby soon! I currently work part time and I am in nursing school. I can try to make any booking work with advance notice. Please reach out and we can make it work! I am very careful with making sure harnesses are on and safe. I make sure the water and food bowl are full and nothing is out that is dangerous.

About: I’ve been a dog and cat groomer for 4 years. I grew up on a farm taking care of all the animals from horses, cows, pigs, chickens , dogs , cats , turkeys etc. I’m very patient with animals who take more time to get to know new people who come into their lives and I love my senior animals who take a little longer on our walks :) I just moved to Florida from Arizona. This will be my full time job for now until I am able to save up to start my own mobile dog and cat business and hopefully be able to provide grooming services to all my lovely clients I am very reliable and flexible. I have always been the neighborhood help for pet care when my neighbors went on vacation. I’ve helped with feeding their farm animal and their indoor animals . I always follow the instructions giving to me and I always show up on time !

About: Although my profile is new to Rover, I am well versed in the experience for years. My mother has been a Rover sitter since I was a child and I have much experience with her going to help at clients houses. I have experience with dogs of all ages from birth to end of life, as well as cats. I am an avid animal lover and owner of exotic pets as well. I grew up on a homestead and have experience with many types of pets including livestock! Dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, rodents, birds, insects and invertebrates, I have experience with them all. I grew up with 10 dogs! My schedule is very open. I am currently post bachelors taking a break from school, as well as pursuing my degrees in Art and Anthropology. I have flexibility in my schedule to meet your needs, and I love to have detailed communication to make sure that we are always on the same page. As a sitter I am prepared to follow your pet's schedule and specific needs to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while you are away. I would want to meet you and your pets beforehand to make sure I have a clear grasp on their schedule and needs and follow them precisely. I am very detailed when it comes to directions for my own pets so I am prepared to give your babies the same care I want for mine. I have so much in depth experience with dogs growing up on a homestead, and many of those experiences involved emergencies. I know what signs to look for to make sure your dog is safe and healthy, and will always err on the side of complete caution. I have a strong respect for safety and health and want your dog to not only be taken care of but observed in depth to make sure they are getting everything they need from me. I hope to leave every client better connected with their dogs.
About: Hi! I work full-time at an Animal Hospital that offers both regular boarding and medical boarding. I’m an animal surgical technician, so I’m very comfortable caring for senior pets, pets with medical needs, and those requiring medications or special attention. I’m able to provide a wide range of care, including emergency or special care if needed (at owner’s expense). Because I work in animal care almost every day of the week, I’m confident handling all types of animals and care situations. I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals, as well as larger animals such as horses, pigs, cows, and sheep. Cuddling, playtime, and making pets feel safe and loved are my top priorities! I enjoy long walks, quality playtime, and lots of snuggles. I also have experience with bathing, nail trims, and administering medications on schedule. My goal is to make your pet as comfortable as possible while you’re away. To them, I may be a guest—but I want them to feel just as loved and cared for as they do with you. I can’t wait to meet you and your babies! — Jamee 🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work full-time as an animal surgical technician, so caring for animals—feeding, administering medications, monitoring behavior, and providing comfort—is already a regular part of my day. Outside of work, I intentionally structure my time around pet care, making sure each pet receives consistent attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. My schedule allows me to be reliable with routines such as walks, meals, medication times, and check-ins, while still providing flexibility for pets who need extra care or attention. Because animal care is both my profession and my passion, it never feels like an add-on—it’s simply part of my everyday life. Making your pet comfortable is my number one priority! To them i am a guest but i also want them to love me just as much as they love you!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior pets needing extra attention. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs. Whether it’s basic training, administering medication, or just providing comfort and companionship, I go the extra mile to ensure your pet feels safe and loved. Pet care fits perfectly into my current routine, as I’m currently unemployed and focusing on part-time opportunities. This gives me the flexibility to dedicate my full attention and time to your pet’s needs, including walks, feedings, playtime, or special care throughout the day. I prioritize safety and comfort by creating a calm, pet-friendly environment—whether in my home or yours.

I also respect your space and follow any specific instructions to ensure your pet feels secure and cared for at all times.
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was about 10 years old. Throughout the years I have cared for my neighbors and family friends pets along side my own pups. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. I plan my days so that walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are done consistently and on schedule. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, medications (if needed), potty breaks, and exercise so their pet experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax, play, and receive lots of attention. I make sure they have a comfortable place to rest, regular potty breaks, supervised playtime, and plenty of affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would my own. I stick closely to the pet’s usual routine, provide walks and playtime, keep food and water fresh, and make sure the home stays tidy. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel loved, safe, and stress-free while their owners are gone.

FAQs for House Sitting - Gretna
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 294 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Gretna. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Gretna walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Gretna maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Gretna choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Gretna. On Rover:
- 83% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
