I messed up and left the chain hooked on the door so Jasmin couldn't get in. Fortunately, my cats had enough food and water to last until I got home. Jasmin was very kind about my mess up and still came to visit and pet the kitten through the crack in the front door!

About: Thank you for considering me to care for your pets! I've shared my life with dogs and cats for more than 30 years and understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and way of showing trust. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or quiet and independent, I'll care for them with patience, consistency, and respect. I currently share my home with my 15-year-old domestic shorthair, Meatball, who reminds me every day that pets thrive on familiar routines and attentive care. Whether I'm looking after dogs or cats, my goal is to keep their daily routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you're away. As a U.S. Air Force veteran, I value reliability, attention to detail, and following through on my commitments. If you leave detailed instructions, I'll follow them carefully—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, litter box care, playtime, and household preferences. I'm comfortable caring for large dogs, puppies, multiple pets, and maintaining a calm, clean, and respectful presence in your home. I'm available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and for established clients I'm happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. I also have reliable transportation and would not hesitate to take your pet to an emergency veterinarian if the need ever arose. I'll provide photo and message updates as often as you prefer, so you'll always know how your pets are doing. My promise is simple: I'll treat your pets with the same kindness, patience, and attention I'd want for my own, and I'll care for your home as respectfully as if it were mine. When you return, I want you to find happy pets, a well-kept home, and complete peace of mind. I'm available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and for established clients I'm happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. I also have reliable transportation and would not hesitate to take your pet to an emergency veterinarian if the need ever arose. I'll provide photo and message updates as often as you prefer, so you'll always know how your pets are doing. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, including overnight stays, because I believe many pets are happiest when they can remain in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. For overnight bookings, I do ask that the home be flea-free for the comfort and well-being of everyone involved. Before each booking, I'll take the time to learn your pet's schedule, personality, feeding routine, favorite activities, medications (if applicable), and any household preferences you'd like me to follow. Every pet is unique, and I believe consistency helps reduce stress while you're away. For dogs, I'm happy to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, fetch, tug, outdoor time, or simply a calm companion to relax with. For cats, I'll provide fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, play and enrichment, or quiet companionship for cats who prefer affection on their own terms. I treat every home with the same respect I would my own. I'll keep things clean and organized, bring in mail, water plants, or handle other agreed-upon household tasks, and make sure everything is in order when you return. Communication is a priority for me, so I'll send photo and message updates as often as you prefer. My goal is for you to travel with confidence, knowing your pets are receiving attentive, dependable care and that your home is in responsible hands until you return.

Kelly was amazing! She came in and fed our two dogs for a long weekend - they had never been left with a sitter before. Both are little old ladies, but they gave her a run for her money. They growled, wouldn’t come downstairs to be fed. But she hung in there and won them over! I never expected them to give her such a hard time, but she didn’t give up and by the last two days, they were all friends. I’d highly recommend Kelly. She did everything she said she would do and went above and beyond to make sure our two seniors were fed and cared for. Thank you, Kelly!

About: What sets me apart is the time and care I put into getting to know every pet as an individual. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, so I’m always willing to create a care plan that’s tailored specifically to their needs. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, needs extra patience, or has special instructions, I’m happy to adapt my care to make them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet, so you can feel confident they’re receiving the same love, attention, and consistency they get from you. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, giving me the flexibility to provide dependable, attentive care. My schedule allows plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, medication if needed, and quality one-on-one attention, so your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, and lots of affection. With my veterinary clinic experience, I’m also attentive to any changes in behavior or health, giving pet parents added peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I’ve had my own dog since I was 4 years old. I have my old man Alpha(14) left, the one that has been with me through my 20s, if you know you know. I have about 6 years of pet sitting experience, and in that that I have learned so much. Every day and every new client is an opportunity to learn, but I can say, I have dealt with some crazy scenarios to say the least. Having a pet is truly like having a child and everyone deserves a peace of mind. I hold myself to such a high standard because I know what it is to be a true pet parent. I am a server so during the summer things slow down a lot, allowing me to have a very open schedule. Even during the busy season, my schedule remains flexible, especially in the earlier parts of the day. I try to base my schedule around the pets to the best of my ability, all further details can be discussed in a consultation. I have criteria that a dog has to check to ensure it will be safe and comfortable in my home before we even get into anything else. Dogs must be house trained, leash trained, and always have a collar with their information on it. This alone, makes the experience more calm for owners and the sitter. My yard is fenced in and during the summer someone is almost always home. I do prefer clients home, just because I rent and when I initially started pet sitting it was for dogs who could not be boarded. I had a reactive dog and reactive owners know the work and stress that can come with that. I now have a senior dog who I could not want to board. In clients homes, I really just get the run down of their schedule and try to keep them on it to the best of my ability!

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Gretna

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Gretna on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,169 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Gretna. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Gretna stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.

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
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
