“Caitlin did great! I left her quite the challenge, a 5 and a half month old terrier mix pup rescue that loves to nibble:). She managed to take good care of my fur baby (updates every day with pictures to boot!) AND looked after my house while I was away in Alaska for over 2 weeks! She has a big heart and is extremely trustworthy. If you need someone to go above and beyond with your pet look no further!”
“Ebony did such a great job with our dogs! She was super easy to communicate with, sent pictures of the pups multiple times a day, and followed all the instructions we left. Ebony also took great care of my less people friendly dog and ended up earning her trust by the end of her stay. We will definitely be booking Ebony again and we highly recommend that you book her as well!”
“Chloe did a wonderful job handling my crew of 4! She sent lots of updates with pictures & communicated well throughout her stay. I returned to happy pets & a tidy home. My lil family will surely be happy to see her again!”
“Cheryl took wonderful care of my pups - one of whom is 14 and has a few special care needs. She also took great care of the house and had it in wonderful condition when I returned. She stayed in contact with pictures and was easily reachable throughout my trip. Highly recommended!”
“Russell was an amazing dog sitter for our pup when we went away to California. He was very easy to work with, and bonded with our dog right away. My dog seemed relaxed and at home with him, and we have been very happy with all our interactions as a whole. He even sent me a video of one of their walks! I highly recommend him as a responsible dog sitter.”
“Nikoleta was GREAT! We always wonder/worry how our pets are doing and Nikoleta sent us many updates and photos, which really put our minds at ease! She was very respectful of our place and I think it might have been cleaner after she left than it was when she arrived! We’ll definitely book with Nikoleta again!”

“Caroline was the consummate professional sitter for our recent vacation. I highly recommend her services. Caroline took great care of our pups in our home while we were gone, sending numerous pictures each day to let us know how they were doing. We could tell by their posture and demeanor they were happy and not stressed … which was our concern with leaving them with someone “new.” Caroline love the doggos and most importantly, they loved her! Additionally, Caroline took immaculate care of our home and had our place looking pristine upon our arrival home. I cannot be more pleased with her services! Use her!!! You won’t be disappointed!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember! Dogs, cats, guinea pigs, turtles, you name it, I’ve had at least one! I’ve worked as a professional dog walker when I lived in Boston, dog walked and house sat while living in Austin, and currently care for pets of neighbors, friends and family. I’m an uber driver with open availability to come swing by whenever needed! I am up early in the morning, and go to bed late at night! I’m centrally located, so I can be to your pet in minutes! I take caring for pets very seriously. I love to provide a loving and caring demeanor while being quiet and patient. Animals need to trust their caregiver, and I find it very important for the pet to know they can rely on me to care for them. Having a dog that requires a lot of care and extra watching, I like to treat all pets as if they are my own
“Jan is awesome! He is so great with our dogs and nothing phases him! We have quite the mix of personalities and Jan knows just how to handle them! He’s super chill and very knowledgeable. We are looking forward to having Jan hang with our furry fam again!”
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and they’ve always been at the center of my world. My most recent pup, Effy, was with me for 15 years — she was truly the love of my life. While I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own again, I couldn’t imagine my life without them, which is why I’m so excited to be here on Rover! Your pet will be loved and cared for like my own. I can’t wait to meet them I work from home Monday–Friday, so your pet will have my full attention throughout the day — no long stretches alone. I am able to work remotely so care during the day is no issue. I live in an apartment in Meraux above my dad’s office, so while there’s no yard, we have plenty of space to get outside for walks. There are stairs, but I’m happy to carry pets up and down as needed.
About: I’ve been a mom to beagle, schnauzer, Siamese cats and a sweet parakeet for over 5 years. Pets are like family. They are supposed to be nurtured and loved. I am free in the summertime. During the school year I am available on weekends and after 4:30 pm during the workweek. And most holidays. I will walk and feed your pet. I can take care of your dog in your home. I’m listening and excited to meet your furbaby.
About: I've loved dogs my entire life and have over 2 years of hands-on experience working at Camp Bow Wow, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. My responsibilities included supervising playgroups, feeding, administering basic care, monitoring behavior, and ensuring every dog stayed safe and happy. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets for years, and I treat every dog like they're my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, overnight care, or just some extra attention while you're away, I'll provide dependable care and plenty of updates for your peace of mind. I work remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. I'm available before work, during lunch breaks, after work, and often have flexibility for midday visits as well. Because I work from a laptop, I can provide consistent care and attention while helping your pets maintain their normal routine. Whether your dog needs a walk, potty break, feeding, playtime, or companionship while you're away, I'm happy to help. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. With over 2 years of professional experience caring for dogs at Camp Bow Wow, I'm comfortable handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, energy levels, and personalities.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gretna
Anika was ABSOLUTELY amazing. She gave plenty of updates on our girl, i had zero worries about if nova was okay or not bc she loved her girl Anika, they became fast friends! Anika went above and beyond for us and i can’t thank her enough! I actually can’t recommend her enough to anyone who needs their fur babies taken care of! we will definitely rebook with Anika next time we need a sitter!! 10/10 no notes!! We love her!!
Mike has been a excellent communicator with me and my husband since day 1. They stayed with our 2 cats who are a little high maintenance while we were away and we came home the place looking great and 2 very happy cats :) highly recommend!! Thank you Mike! Will definitely be booking with them again.
Chloe was an excellent house sitter and took wonderful care of both our home and our dog while we were away. She was responsive, professional, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire stay. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave us great peace of mind knowing our pup was happy and well cared for. We returned to a clean home and a happy dog, and it was clear that Chloe treated both with care and respect. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy sitter.
Daphne was wonderful with Estes. We are from out of town and she was super flexible so we could go and enjoy our time in NOLA! Daphne was prompt, communicative and did just as we asked. We are looking forward to our next trip back to the city. Knowing our dog was taken care of made our visit even more enjoyable when we are out and about. I’d recommend her to anybody!
We had a great experience with Mackenzie! She communicated throughout the stay, left the house clean, and took such good care of my dog. She even treated him to a pup cup, his favorite. It gave me peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. I’d definitely book with her again!
Grace was fantastic. Being away from our pup over the holidays is never easy, but she made it so much better by being friendly, reliable, and very communicative - especially when some unexpected things came up on our street. We were also blown away when we came home to find she had gone above and beyond cleaning (vacuuming, dishes, linens), which we never asked or expected of her, but deeply appreciated. Her dog was sweet and got along well with Watson as well. We’d happily have Grace back anytime and highly recommend her!
Sarah is amazing… She walked in and could read the personalities of each one of our dogs within one minute of meeting them. She is clearly an animal lover and will take great care of your home and your pets. One of the best we’ve ever had! Thank you so much Sarah for watching our pups!!
I can’t recommend Wendy highly enough. She took care of my dog Fenn for 7 days at my house. She is very responsive and sends photos and videos (in which my dog is grinning ear to ear) everyday. She handles the meds well and even watered the garden. She has a very sweet low key personality so animals love her. I will definitely be using her again soon.
Kenzie provided outstanding care for my 14-year-old dog with special needs. She managed his medications reliably and gave him the patience and attention he requires as an older dog. It was clear she understood how to care for senior pets and made his comfort her priority. She also took excellent care of my cats, ensuring all of my pets were well looked after during my time away. I returned home to happy animals and a well-kept house. I highly recommend Kenzie to anyone seeking a responsible, dependable, and skilled pet sitter- especially for pets (and nervous pet owners!) that require extra care.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Gretna on Rover is $29.97 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 767 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:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
