About: I have more than 30 years of dog-sitting experience, and I have worked in the medical field for 32 years. Caring for others has always been a big part of who I am, and that same compassion, patience, and dedication extend to every fur baby entrusted to my care. When your baby is with me, they aren’t just a pet I’m watching they’re family! My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and never lonely while you’re away. A Safe, Loving Home Environment I live in a large home with a spacious, fully fenced, gated, and secured backyard where your baby can enjoy fresh air, playtime, and room to explore safely. I also have a dedicated puppy room to ensure your baby has a comfortable, secure space whenever needed. I am home most of the time. If I need to step out briefly and can safely bring your baby along, I will. If not, your baby will be safely settled in my designated puppy room. Your Baby’s Daily Routine Morning and evening walks every day Potty breaks every two hours or as needed Plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles Fresh food and water according to your instructions Special attention to your dog’s individual routine and needs Updates and pictures to give you peace of mind Special Needs?

About: I have had cats for so many years of my life before having a few dogs and then birds and hamster's added in to our life during the time of having multiple cats. We only have cats now since the year of October 2010 til current times. I'm passionate about working with animals and providing attentive care. I have hands-on experience caring for animals in home settings, including feeding, cleaning, and monitoring their well-being. Skilled at safely handling dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments, experienced in cleaning kennels, feeding animals, monitoring their health, able to follow instructions for animal care routines and respond quickly to any issues. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working with usually any animal to ensure they are safe and happy, so I think it would make a good fit for your animal to be cared for and looked after. I work at a local arena that is near the French Quarter area. I work in the Housekeeping Department, so my schedule can be pretty flexible because I don't work 5 or more days of the week by a rigid schedule of someone else telling me I have to come to work on. I schedule myself for when I am available to work. I usually only work around 1-4 days a week at best. Sometimes there is no event for one or two weeks because of a certain reason. • I am usually working early in the day by 9:00 AM til the afternoon like 3:00 / 4:00 PM. I work later events that have me showing up around 1:00 PM / 2:30 PM before the event starts til the end of the event around 9:00 PM from August during heavy amounts of events going on til April or May during slower amounts of events going on. • Between April / May til August, I am completely available to do anything you need for Boarding, House-Sitting, and Doggy Day Care because I don't really have anything going on except grocery / prescription runs for my mom and possibly me at another store, and with doctor's appointment for me and my mom. **Availability & Visit Times - Westbank** I offer midday drop-in visits usually between 12:00 PM - 3:00 PM daily. This window lets me give each pet full, unrushed attention for feeding, litter, play, and cuddles. If you need a specific time within that window, just ask! I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Serving Algiers to Westwego. $10 off your first booking 🐾 The only days I couldn't be available will be three days in usually July when I go out of town to Houma, LA for the days I will have blocked off on here as unavailable. • Once the basketball 🏀 season ends, I don't work again because it slows up very, very much until August once again. I use whatever little bit of money I saved during that time to focus on me and other things. Taking on taking care of other people's pets could be something I could consider doing on days and periods that I ain't working for my other job.

“Super communicative and flexible! Aileen took care of our cat for 4 days while we were gone and sent us really cute pictures and updated us on everything. She was able to administer oral medications too. Would rebook her again”

“Sara was very proactive with taking care of the pets and house during her daily check-ins. She provided great pictures and was very communicative. I would definitely hire her again.”

“Jan is genuinely one of the nicest people and most responsible caretakers I have ever met. He is an excellent steward of my space, and my cats, even the one with diagnosed anxiety, always seem calm and happy when I return. I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
About: My family rescued our first dog, April from the local dive bar when I was six years old. According to the vet, April was just two weeks. She had been separated from her mother at birth and hadn’t even opened her eyes yet. My parents worried she'd be too much trouble. I begged to keep her and promised I'd take care of her. April became my sister, my best friend, and my greatest teacher. I fed April from a bottle, taught her how to walk up the stairs, and took her to puppy training classes. April taught me the practice of presence, and the value of unconditional love. Our time spent together makes up some of my most cherished childhood memories. At the age of 13, pet-sitting became my first job. I loved it so much, I didn’t even understand how it could be considered a job. I took care of the animals, and the animals took care of me. In my decade+ of pet-sitting, I’ve worked with a range of breeds, ages, and temperaments. Walking 100lb. pitbulls with fear aggression. Administering medication to seniors. Feeding finicky rescued stray cats. I even fostered and re-homed an abandoned puppy that found me on the beaches of Costa Rica. I can confidently claim that I’ve never once had an animal “reject” me as their caretaker, and I think that says a lot. In the last 6 years, I’ve been living and traveling as a digital nomad. My lifestyle doesn’t currently allow for a pet of my own, so pet-sitting is a blessing that allows me the opportunity to care for pets as if they were my own. I work part-time as a meditation & yoga teacher, and part-time remote as an event organizer. This lifestyle allows me to be very flexible in taking on pet-sitting and house-sitting opportunities. I can build most of my work day around your pets schedule (and I'm more than happy to do so!) I offer long-term and short-term visits and overnight stays to take care of your pets in their own home. I've found that, for most pets, being in the security and routine of their own environment is the best way for them to cope with their owners temporary absence. I make sure to upkeep your pet's sense of "normalcy" to the best of my ability by feeding and walking them at regular intervals, being an active participant in play time (when desired), giving them snuggles (when desired), and just keeping them company! I make sure to upkeep YOUR sense of "normalcy" by respecting your space, keeping it as clean and organized as when I arrive (if not even more so), and following any & all house rules. In addition to overnights, I LOVE to take on daily walks and wellness checks when you're at work or just too busy to do it all on your own!
About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and some of the greatest loves of my life have had four paws. I had my sweet cat, Henry, for four wonderful years before he passed away, and for the last three years I helped raise and care for an adorable Goldendoodle who now lives with her other pet parent. I don’t currently have a fur baby of my own, so I genuinely love getting the chance to care for other people’s pets. I’ve also spent years pet sitting for friends and family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave someone you love in another person’s care. I’m affectionate, attentive, dependable, and probably the person who will be talking to your pet like we’re old friends within five minutes. Whether they love long walks, playtime, belly rubs, couch cuddles, or just having a calm human nearby, I’m happy to give them all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I’m a full-time, stay-at-home writer, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your fur baby lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I love having a furry companion join me for my morning and evening walks. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I only board pets from one household at a time, so your fur baby gets plenty of individual attention and a calm, secure environment without unfamiliar pets coming and going. I have a large fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, and I’m also walking distance from a beautiful large park that’s perfect for longer walks and exploring. I have a dog crate available for crate-trained pups, and I’m happy to follow your usual feeding, walking, sleeping, and household routines so your pet feels as comfortable and at home as possible while you’re away.

About: Ive pet sit since I was 14, both paid and unpaid, and I love it! I have experience with difficult dogs/cats (multiple high energy pups in one home) and a moody pet does not scare me off. Currently, 30 hours, of my week (~5hrs a day) is spent at my job at a cafe. Outside of that I can fit your fur baby into my schedule before or after work or on my off days! I never work late and my schedule is very flexible Being able to read the body language of your pup/kitty is a crucial skill that I have a lot of experience in. Being in your home, I know Im in their space
About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, focusing on daily walks and overnight care. For the past 5 years, I have raised my own gentle pup, Poopoo, who is well-trained and keeps me experienced in consistent walking, feeding, and providing comfort at night. Before that, I spent 2 years in Korea helping my family raise another dog, giving me a strong background in handling different breeds and personalities. I also have 2 cats at home who are very friendly with other pets! Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me not only to walk their dogs but also to care for them overnight when they travel. I make sure each dog feels safe and loved—whether it’s long walks for active dogs, gentle care for seniors, or overnight stays where they get the comfort of a steady routine. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to dog walks and overnight care. I usually work part-time, so I’m available for morning and evening walks on weekdays, as well as extended overnight stays when you need to travel. On weekends, I can offer even more flexible availability for boarding and longer walks, making sure your pup gets the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I live in a pet-friendly environment with a calm, well-trained dog who is used to other pets. I make sure walks are always safe—using secure leashes and keeping a close eye on surroundings. For overnight care, I provide a quiet and comfortable space where your pup can feel at ease, and I always follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, routines, and any special needs.

“Samantha was such a kind and communicative sitter for our sweet boy! She took the time to come meet him first and always shared thorough updates and loved on our kitty and was attentive to his unique personality. We highly recommend choosing Samantha for your fur babes & will definitely book her again! Thanks Samantha!”

About: I've always loved animals and am naturally compassionate. While growing up my family had a small breed dog, and I personally owned hamsters and fish which I was the sole caretaker of. I am also a former Junior [Zoo] Keeper, which equipped me with reptile care experience. As an adult, I have had a German Shepherd, cats, and fish as well. I am adaptable and am confident in my ability to provide competent care for a wide variety of species. I am available for house sitting any days of the week, and available for drop-ins and walks after 5pm Mon-Fri and all throughout weekend days. I will be happy to abide by your house rules and pet care guidelines, respect your home, and give loving care to your animal(s). Don't shy away from being specific about your preferences

About: Hi! I’ve always been a huge animal lover and grew up around both dogs and cats. I currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, and I also have plenty of experience pet sitting and caring for other animals. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, with plenty of attention, affection, and care! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to make time for pet care throughout the week. I’m able to plan around each pet’s individual routine and needs, whether that includes walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, or simply spending time with them and keeping them company. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home. I have a small yard for supervised outdoor time. I’m also happy to take dogs on walks or to the park for some extra exercise and playtime. I always follow each pet’s normal routine and any care instructions.
About: Since adopting my first pet in 2016, I discovered that I preferred to spend my off time with animals! Simply put I look forward to hanging out with your pet! I look forward to making both pets and people happy and like to listen to the preferences and needs of each individual pet. I am a dance/theater and fitness instructor so my schedule is often very opposite of your traditional 9-5. I have lots of daytime available and can even be available in the evenings. Pets safety, comfortability, and happiness are a top priority not only in my own home but anywhere I go. It is not only important to me but brings me joy to know I have helped or cared for any animal. I prefer to follow veterinary or research based guidelines when caring for pets but of course understand all pets are different and I am happy to accommodate any needs.

About: I am a huge animal lover and advocate for all fur babies. I currently own four pets ( two cats and two dogs). I volunteer at the shelter and give back to the community. I have pet sat for my friends and families dogs and only recently decided to do this as a side gig. If you were to ask any of my friends and family, one of the main things they would describe about me is my love and care for animals. I go above and beyond. Just last year I picked up four lost dogs and reunited them with their owners. I also helped to TNR the kitties in my neighborhood and now have 3 permanent porch kitties 😂. You will never have to question if your pets are in good hands. I am also familiar with medium to large dogs and reactive dogs. My two dogs are reactive and I have learned a lot over the last 8-9 years. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I can take your dog for walks or potty breaks throughout the week and even more flexible during the weekends. If your pet would need to stay with me, I have a large fenced in yard and a guest bedroom where they can set up their own space away from my animals
About: I have had horses and dogs for most of my life. I love being around animals and developing a bond with them. I am an Air Force Veteran and small business owner. I am very reliable and trustworthy to take care of the special dog in your life. I have availability in the evenings after my classes at UC Davis Monday, Wednesday and Friday after 3pm and Tuesdays from 7-9am. I can also help on some weekends by appointment! I am a gym owner and I would primarily have your pet there unless I were to watch your pet in your home. I have a fully vaccinated, friendly 2 year old Doberman mix that will keep your pet playful and busy at my gym or I can leave her home and come for a visit to your residence.
About: I'm a very attentive and tidy pet owner to give the pets as much love and as much space as the appear to need. I respect pets, independence and no the most of their social cues to tell me what they need. While I'm completing Project Manager certification and job hunting for Engineering work in the Renewable Energy Industry, I love getting out everyday for sunset walk (or run for dogs that need it). I've dated a Vet Technician and learned a lot from her with her kitten and elder cat. I've even shared a dog and had to endure putting it down sadly. I'm very attentive with pets and love giving them just the right amount of attention, or space, that they enjoy naturally. I respect pets like any other member of the family.

About: I've had 2 cats for the past 7 years, and I grew up with dogs. I love animals. I just recently graduated from Loyola Law, so I'm here to care for pets for the rest of the year as I'm waiting on exam scores and preparing to move :) I just recently graduated from Loyola Law, and took my bar exam in July. For now I'm waiting on my results and preparing for a move to California early next year. Caring for pets helps me make some extra money and have fun before I have to buckle down and practice law! I have the most experience with cats, as I have two. I also grew up with dogs and love to go on walks. For drop-in visits, I'll love to keep your babies company and give them some play time! For walks, I'll pack on the sunscreen and go on a stroll!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Gretna
Laura always takes the absolute best care of our cat! She is reliable and has great communication during our extended trips away, so we know our sweet kitty is in great hands. She is also so thoughtful and waters our plants, takes out our trash, etc while we are away. We are so grateful to have her caring for our cat each time we travel and highly recommend her!! 💕🐈🫶🏻

Highly recommend Cortney for any drop-in needs! She checked in on our kitten while we were out of town over three days, and did a wonderful job keeping us updated, sharing pictures, etc. She is a great communicator, trustworthy, and very thoughtful in her messages. We will use her again in the future!

There is no one else in the world I trust as much with my children as I do Jan. I genuinely know he’s going to put their interests first, and he’s going to look after my house to boot. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He’s a good human and a great sitter.
Recently booked Carlie for drop-in visits for our cat during our 5-day vacation. I was worried about leaving her with a rather long to-do list, but she handled it with ease. I also enjoyed the goofy pics she took of my girl and the report card she provided after every visit. She far exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again, Carlie! 😸

Gerome's natural ability to commune with animals was present during both drop off and pick up of my cat. I returned to find my selective/discerning sweet pea snuggled up with her pet sitter in a relaxed and trusting pose. She did not want to come back with me! I will choose Gerome in the future to care for my love. Gerome was highly communicative during my time away from my cat. She sent me many photo updates, which allowed me to feel at ease during our separation.
Natasha was wonderful! She was incredibly attentive and loving with our cats, playing with them at every visit, and even our shy cat warmed up to her very quickly. Both cats clearly adored her and were completely stress-free while we were away. We would absolutely work with Natasha again and highly recommend her.

This was our second time booking with Rachelle, and once again she absolutely exceeded our expectations! She went above and beyond caring for our babies and was a total hit with the cats too. Rachelle is incredibly reliable, follows every instruction and special request perfectly, and always sends the sweetest updates and photos that give us complete peace of mind. If you’re looking for an amazing sitter you can truly trust (and one your pets will love!), I can’t recommend Rachelle enough!

Pumpkin and Latte absolutely loved having Heather to watch over them for the week! She went above and beyond, our girl Pumpkin has a sensitive stomach and she was able to feed her slowly and take care of any accidents she may have had! She kept us updated with so many adorable photos and messages, and made us feel completely at ease with them in her care! Will be requesting Heather any time we have a trip!

As of October 2026, there are 577 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Gretna. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 , 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 .
