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: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals. Ever since I was young, people have trusted me to look after their pets because they knew I’d treat them with patience, kindness, and attention. I’ve been an animal lover since I was about five years old, and caring for pets has always come naturally to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, overnight stays, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to keep them on their normal routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and any other specific requests. I’ll also make sure your home is treated with respect and kept clean while you’re away. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care so both you and your pet have peace of mind.

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’ve grown up around animals my whole life and have always been the person who wants to love on every critter I meet! I have several sweet fur babies of my own and have cared for all kinds of animals over the years from dogs and cats to horses, birds, lizards, rats, and pretty much anything else you can name. I’ve also had the opportunity to foster 3 medical puppies through LCHS, along with 1 non-medical foster dog. Fostering has given me even more experience with animals who need a little extra patience, attention, and TLC. I am also familiar and comfortable with administering medicine to cats and dogs from pills to shots and creams. I genuinely love animals and really enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and quirks. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else, so I take their care very seriously. When your pets are with me, they’ll be treated just like my own with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they’re into that, of course!). I work a full time job M-F but am able to do lunchtime potty breaks. If you are interested in booking over weekdays it would be best that your fur baby can be alone for 4 hour increments. If your pet is people/pet friendly and you approve I am able to bring dogs to my office space. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every pet like my own and take the responsibility of caring for them very seriously. I’ll follow your instructions and routines closely, and make sure they’re happy, safe, and comfortable. I want you to feel completely at ease while you are gone and pride myself on sending often updates and photos of your fur babies.

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.

I have so many great things to say about Analia and I probably won’t fit them all in this review, but I’m going to try. My partner and I were going on a cross country road trip for two weeks and found ourselves in need of a sitter for our two dogs the day we were supposed to leave for our trip. Before we even met, Analia left an incredible impression. She was compassionate, understanding, and flexible. She agreed to watch our dogs and stop by less than 12 hours before we had to leave. Our dogs are still young and in training, and for some people they can be a bit overwhelming. Analia was not phased at all by this, and from our first interactions, I could tell she was going to give just as much love and attention as we would. She had already looked over our care instructions and remembered facts about them, but she really took it a step further by asking how she could continue their training (something that means a lot to us, but we don’t always expect of others because it can be challenging; we were floored by her thoughtfulness and generosity). We left town feeling so secure having Analia taking care of our dogs. Analia continued to exceed expectations throughout our trip. She very intentionally sent updates, photos, and videos nearly every day, was super flexible when we ran out of food because our shipment didn’t come in, and went out of her way to bring our dogs new toys. When our arrival back home was delayed, Analia was incredibly accommodating and watched the dogs for a couple extra days despite it being last minute and her already having other plans. I feel so lucky to have been connected with Analia, not only because she was a great sitter for our dogs, but because she is such a kind and compassionate person, and was someone I thoroughly enjoyed talking to throughout our trip. She truly is a gem, and someone we will continue to trust our dogs with. If you take anything away from this review, it is that you should end your search here and choose Analia, because you will not regret it.

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

About: My family had a pair of corgis when I was a kid, I didn’t realize how much I missed them until I started petsitting for families with dogs in 2012. I’m currently fully available Monday thru Sunday so I will have plenty of time to care for and play with your fur babies everyday! I will follow and double check all the instructions and I will contact you immediately with any questions or concerns I have regarding your fur babies. I do prefer written instructions so I am able to double check that I am caring proper for your animals.

FAQs for House Sitting - Gretna

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 303 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
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
