About: Hello, my name is Amaya! My number one priority with your furry friend is keeping them safe and stress free. Some activities could include mental enrichment and stimulation. There are a few games I play with my dog that I know your pet would love too! All in all, I would like to make the experience fun for me and your friend I have experience at doggy day cares and worked with puppies ranging from teacup to Great Danes. I also have experience grooming and bathing dogs and cats. I believe every pet has their own intrinsic personalities and their own quirks and I would love to get to know your baby. If you have any questions feel free to ask! Thank you! I currently work full time in a warehouse. I work four 10 hour shifts so I get three days off during the week and then I work weekends. I have five years of experience in doggy day cares and grooming for cats as well. I have extensive knowledge in enrichment activities for cats and dogs. I believe that the key to a happy pet is mental enrichment and stimulation. I do potty breaks every 2-3 hours depending on age.

For 15 years I have been trusted to care for a wide variety of dogs and cats and house sit as needed. I work from home which allows me to provide your pet with consistent, detailed care throughout the day and/or night. I have worked at doggy day cares and used to be a full time dog walker when I lived in Austin, Texas for a few years. My experience combined with desire to care for animals will be a perfect fit for your fur babies!

“Jenna did an awesome job housesitting with our dogs. She was very open with communication and made sure our dogs were very well cared for. We really appreciated all the photos she sent daily. We would highly recommend Jenna and would definitely have her house sit again!”
“My girls liked Linda on our first meeting/meet and greet. That is a very good sign especially since one of my GSDs is my protector and does not warm up to strangers. Linda sent me several check in texts and pictures a day. I really appreciated her thoroughness and promptness to my replies and questions. I hope to be able to book again with Linda and I highly recommend.”

I'm dependable, responsible, and understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and happy while you're away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! As a fourth-grade teacher, I have a consistent schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine.

I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and care that I would my own. I believe every pet is happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, so I take the time to learn each pet's schedule and preferences. In my client's home, I'll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routines exactly as instructed while giving your pet plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I'll also keep your home clean, respect your space, and send regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and providing companionship. I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away. I currently work from home. So my schedule is pretty flexible! Plenty of times to go on walks and playtime! With advanced notice I am very accommodating to meet your needs. I provide loving, reliable care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.
About: Hi! I'm Emily, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent to five furry family members—two dogs and three cats. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including puppies, senior pets, multi-pet households, and pets with anxiety or medical needs. As both a pet sitter and pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I have experience administering medications, caring for pets with separation anxiety, and providing individualized attention based on each pet's unique needs and routine. My goal is always to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away, while giving you peace of mind through reliable communication and updates. When I look into the eyes of an animal, I do not see an animal. I see a living being. I see a friend. I feel a soul. I work full-time as a preschool teacher during the week, but I am available for evening, weekend, holiday, and overnight pet care. Pet sitting fits naturally into my daily routine since I already care for multiple pets of my own. I'm committed to providing dependable care and will work closely with you to maintain your pet's normal schedule and routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, walking routines, and household rules. I take time to learn each pet's personality, preferences, and any special needs before care begins. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important communication is, so you'll receive regular updates and photos while you're away. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or stopping in for visits, I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free experience.
“We were so relieved to have Emily and Mert watch our house and furbabies for us!! Some of our dogs are high anxiety/antisocial so they’re not always good with new people but they were playing and cuddling in no time! We received regular pictures and videos with updates, putting us at ease knowing they were well cared for. Will definitely be rebooking with them!”
“Jessica was a God send. She recently house sat for us while on vacation. She made sure my babies got all the love and spoiling they are used too while also easing my mind. This allowed me to enjoy our vacation without worrying if they were ok. The communication was great and she sent a ton of photos, which I loved! She also left the house spotless. Jessica exceeded my expectations and we will definitely use her again.”
“Highly recommend Kodi! She was able to accommodate my two bostons, one of which was recovering from a back injury and required special care and medications. She kept me updated and sent pictures throughout the weekend I was gone which was such a relief. I would definitely use Kodi again.”
“Claudette is truly amazing! I honestly can’t say enough about how incredible she is, not just with our dogs, but with our ever changing schedules as well. She not only loves animals, but holds all the qualifications needed to watch your furry loved ones while you’re away, giving you a peace of mind. She is incredibly friendly, reliable, consistent, caring, patient, flexible, and very communicative when it comes to our dog cares. She has cared for our pups on several occasions and each time she has delivered the upmost care for them - sending us updates and photos. We are so thankful to have found the perfect match in her, to love and care for our pups when we’re off at work. We highly HIGHLY recommend her for your pet needs and services! She’s definitely someone you can trust to love your pets the way you do!”
About: I’ve been house and dog sitting since I was 12 years old, so caring for animals is second nature to me. Growing up, I’ve had my own dog (and she is a diva) and three birds, so I’m super comfortable managing different animal personalities, daily routines, and dietary needs. I have also had 2 cats that I have shared with roommates! The biggest thing that sets me apart is my schedule. Because I study from home, I have a very minimal, flexible weekly routine. That means I would not just dropping by for a quick check-in, I can actually hang out at your house for long stretches or stay the entire day without having to leave. If your pet gets lonely, has separation anxiety, or just loves having a human around 24/7 to cuddle and keep them company, I’m your person! I am able to stay at your house however much you need me there from Thursday nights-Monday nights Sundays: completely available for 24/7 care Mondays: completely available for 24/7 care Tuesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Wednesdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 4pm Thursdays: available to check on animals before 8am and after 7pm Fridays: completely available for 24/7 care Saturdays: completely available for 24/7 care I will request you give me guidelines of what times you animal eats, much much the animal eats, and how often they tend to go outside/to the litter box. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as regular as possible so your pet is happy, healthy, and ready for you to come home ☺️

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gretna
Keeghan was wonderful sitting with our two dogs. She sent us regular photos and updates. When we returned home, we saw that she had made herself a checklist to make sure she didn't miss anything. One of our dogs is very anxious when fireworks start up, and Keeghan was in tune with that and comforted her. Our home was spotless when we came home; she even started laundry from her guest room. We would gladly have Keeghan sit for us again.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
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.
