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
“Great job, Cody! We felt perfectly at ease leaving our precious "girls" with you! Thank you for your attention to detail and attentiveness, they were extremely well cared for.”
“Sarah was great!! This was the second time she watched our pets (1 dog, 2 cats and a fish). She checked in on them multiple times a day, sent us updates, and followed the detailed notes we left her. We felt like they were in such great hands that we could actually enjoy our trip without worrying about if they were getting the care we needed. We'll definitely book Sarah next time we travel!”
“Had great communication, sent pics, made sure my pups were happy, pottied in the yard, and had food and water. This was a last minute booking and she accommodated me and my pups very well. I will for sure use again.”
“Becks was amazing and super communicative the entire time I was away! I loved all the updates and photos that were provided, really made me feel like I was right at home. I would highly recommend Becks for your cat or dog needs. Couldn't ask for anyone better!”
About: I grew up around animals and used to volunteer at my local Veterinary Clinic. I have a lot of experience walking dogs, making meals, bathing pets, and absolutely love spending time with animals of any kind. I used to also house sit for my neighbors and watch their cats, dogs, and guinea pigs when they were out of time. I am a college student at UCSB double majoring in Film and Psychology. I have plenty of time during the day or at night to spend time with your pets and get to know them! I have a big open living room and can provide a crate in my home. I am also comfortable adapting to any routines or methods in your home that your pet is familiar with.
“I had a great experience with Leanne (drop-in visits, 2 cats). She provided consistent updates with prompt, reliable communication and left the house better than she found it. Will look to book her again in the future!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, cats, and even a few small pets, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve house and pet sat for over 40 families, many of whom now trust me as their regular sitter. I have experience with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need extra patience and care. I treat every animal like family and always do my best to keep them safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and make time for regularly. Whether I’m walking dogs, stopping by for check-ins, or doing overnight stays, I plan my schedule around giving pets the attention they need. I’m flexible and reliable, and I always make sure each pet gets quality time, exercise, and love. Taking care of animals doesn’t feel like a chore to me. It’s a meaningful part of my routine that I truly look forward to. In a client’s home, I do everything I can to keep their pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk times, and any special instructions closely. I always make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles if they want them. I also keep the home clean and tidy, respecting the space as if it were my own. Whether it’s a quick visit or an overnight stay, I treat every pet with care, patience, and love.

About: I have always had a passion for working with animals. I’m currently a grad student at Tulane studying animal behavior. Worked in many positions as an animal caretaker and have experience in trading grooming and a variety of different pet care from dogs and cats to exotic animals. I also have specialty experience with elderly pets and working breed dogs. I look forward to meeting your fur baby and treating them like one of my own! I am in school during the afternoons, but other than that, have a full available schedule to have animals both in my home, or yours. I offer a very flexible experience tailored to your pet and their needs. My home is all puppy proofed and I have yard and near by large park for plenty of exercise. I am set up for crate trained and not crates trained pups and can stick to any regular schedule you need.
“Absolutely great with our 2 dogs and 4 cats! One of our dogs is very anxious and usually takes a long time to be comfortable with people but she warmed up quickly and absolutely loved ShaeNoel during the visit! Received updates and pictures. Definitely rebooking!”
About: Hi there, I’m Han! Having worked as a kennel tech at an animal clinic for 3 years, I have experience caring for all kinds of dogs and cats. My sister owns a ragdoll cat and a pembroke welsh corgi that I often petsit for. I love both dogs and cats, and I’ll treat your pets like family. I’m reliable, attentive, loving, and always happy to help! I’m available every day of the week for walks and drop ins! On weekdays I do have school for part of the day, but I’m usually free mornings, evenings, and all weekends. Feel free to message me with your schedule and we can work something out! I will always try my best to meet you and your pet’s individuals needs and preferences. I will prioritize making sure that your pet is comfortable and happy.
About: I've taken care of dogs for family and friends for weekends and overnight stays when they went out town. I've walked , fed, played, and bathed them when needed. Mostly big dogs and cats but I am comfortable with small dogs as well :) I work remote so I am available all day to watch your fur children :) I am flexible with my schedule as long as I know in advance I am needed . I will have your fur children in my home or backyard (depending on your requests). They are allowed to sleep and be on my furniture .
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: As a dedicated pet caregiver with extensive hands-on experience, I offer specialized care that caters to your pet's exact stage of life. What sets me apart is my ability to confidently support puppy training—including house-training and basic commands—as well as provide gentle, attentive senior pet care such as administering oral medications and managing slow-paced walks. Whether your companion is a high-energy pup or a calm senior, my daily routine guarantees focused playtime, structured meals, and consistent photo updates so you always have total peace of mind while you are away. Because I work from home full-time and have reliable transportation, your pet will benefit from constant supervision, flexible scheduling, and seamless care. I am available to provide around-the-clock companionship, accommodate mid-day routines, and easily handle any necessary travel or drop-offs. Having a highly adaptable schedule and my own vehicle means I can quickly respond to your pet's needs or step in for last-minute requests, giving you total peace of mind that they are always in safe, attentive hands. I do not board pets at this time ( sharing my home with an elderly feline currently). I am high energy and love creating fun and safe activities to engage the pets I care for

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Gretna
Jan was absolutely fantastic. I have a very unique pack of working and primitive breed dogs, and they definitely aren't the easiest group to care for. After just one meet-and-greet, Jan understood their personalities and made both me and my dogs feel completely at ease. What really impressed me was that he confidently took them on walks,...something that very few Rover sitters I've worked with have been comfortable doing. He handled each dog's quirks with patience, confidence, and a calm demeanor that my dogs responded to immediately. It's rare to find someone who truly understands working breeds and dogs with unique personalities, but Jan absolutely does. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, especially if you have high-energy, independent, or quirky dogs that need someone experienced and confident. I'll definitely be booking with him again.
Sarah is a great person. After meeting her, I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog who is loved like a child. She went over and beyond with her while I was out of town for the day. She even sent some awesome pictures that made me happy to see she was well taken care of while I was gone
Lindsey has been my pet sitter for years, and she’s wonderful. She always does an excellent job, notices any issues or irregularities right away, and takes care of them quickly. I highly recommend Lindsey to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy help. Thank you, Lindsey, for always making my time away completely stress-free!

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Gretna is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $39 per visit. 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
