About: I have over 5 years of experience working at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—including puppies, senior dogs, and anxious pets. I also have experience caring for cats and am the proud owner of a 7-year-old Sphynx, so I understand the unique care and attention cats need. Your pet will be treated like family while they’re with me. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have had cats, dogs and rodents since I was able to walk. I love all animals and cannot wait to meet yours! I currently have two cats, two rats and a leopard gecko. I am currently a student and I have plenty of time on my hands to take great care of any pet that you need! I attend school for a few hours a day and am free most of the time! I live in an apartment, but have no issues watching pets in your home! I could take in cats, but dogs might feel a bit cramped in my one bedroom apartment
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I love high energy animals and taking care of them. I grew up with a dog and cat I still have and care for and more recently I have been a volunteer at the Humane Society, I even ended up starting my own club of volunteers in high school. This role has equipped me with all sorts of animal care skills such as cleaning after them, bathing them, feeding them and administering medication, and making sure to provide lots of love and attention. I’ve always said that I’m not a dog or cat person when asked, but rather an animal person. I love animals and caring after them. I am a college student at Tulane University and I am currently home for the summer! I am available until June 22nd and have open availability all day every day until then. I have a fenced yard and two pets of my own that are both friendly so I am no stranger to spending time outdoors with animals or having playdates. I am more than happy to take pets to any appointments they may have and am able to administer medication if needed.
About: I've had dogs my entire life. My last pup, Pooka, died a few years ago after living around the world with me for 16 happy years. So I'm an empty nester looking to love on your pets until I'm ready to get one of my own again. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities and even some special needs. I work from home in a sizable house on a flat topped mountain. I already take 1-2 walks during my workday to stretch my legs. Other than that, I'm a huge homebody. I’m currently living up on a mesa in the middle of nowhere. Plenty of room to run and chill. The space is not fenced so I can keep pups on leash, if needed.
“Caitlin is awesome! She took care of my 16-year old cat for three days. She sent me detailed updates and photos everyday. I definitely will ask her to cat sit Zippy again.”
About: I’m a Tulane Law student who has pet sat for friends and neighbors for over 12 years. I have a flexible school schedule and would love to spend my extra time making sure your dogs and cats are safe, well cared for, and having fun while you’re away! I am a full-time student with flexible hours. I have no weekend school or job commitments, and during the week I’m available for walks, check-ins, etc before and after my classes (typically 10-1pm). I’m happy to discuss specifics with you and find a schedule that works best for your pets, so please feel free to reach out! I have experience with animals that are crate trained and those who are not, and am happy to fulfill whatever roles you need to ensure your pets are kept in their routines while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a young kid! It’s always been a passion of mine. Animals are everything! I treat them if they were my little babies. Currently, I am open any hour of the day! I usually prefer watching animals in their environment, so they have no anxiety issues. Whatever works best for you! I ensure they are comfortable and provide playtime. I usually follow the owner's notes and send updates with pictures of their pet! We also go on multiple walks!
“Taylor is amazing! Tyson my puppy nugget loves her. She is kind, attentive and helped me with everything I asked her to do while with Tyson. Will keep booking with her! Thank you Taylor”
About: I am a pet owner and a animal lover. I have experience with caring for dogs as well as cats. I own a Rottweiler, everybody should know how high maintenanced and how high in energy they are. Knowing that I can handle him with no ease, caring for your dog will be a beeze!!! I have worked with many animals and I am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. Growing up I've always volunteered at many animal shelters. I am an energetic undergraduate student at Jackson State University with a flexible schedule. I live with a family of five who also love pets. Your dog will get plenty of excercise. I am very flexible especially during the weekends. BOOK ME, I look forward to meeting your pets! Because I have the responsibility of making sure another dog is cared for! Enough food, water and necessities! I go above and beyond for dogs because they can’t talk to us so why not be attentive to them in every way possible I care for pets as if they’re were my own. I would expect the same care and attention for my dog from others if I were not around so I have no choice but to provide that to others dogs! Dogs/ cats are the greatest gift we could ever have asked for so I believe in treating them with love and care.
About: I’ve been taking care of my animals and others’ animals from a young age. I have a range of experience- with puppies and kittens, administering medication, unique personalities, special needs, and more.

Currently not boarding at the moment since I am moving into a new space soon. I can go home for lunch during the week and am free all evenings and weekends. Since I am in the process of moving to a new space, I am not boarding at the moment. I am usually available for boarding on weeknights after 4p and full days on the weekends. Your pet is my priority whether I am at your place or mine. When staying at your place, I will always try to leave it neater than when I came across it. Whether its replacing batteries in your ring camera or letting the service man come in, I am available to help you in anyway you need when something unexpected occurs while you're out. Any animals staying at my home are made to feel comfortable and safe; my home becomes their home!
About: Hi my name is Josh! I recently moved back to New Orleans from Scottsdale Arizona. Its definitely a different kind of heat here, but I prefer it! Something you may find that separates me from others is the energy I bring to the table. It will have your dogs wanting more time with me! I have been a dog owner for many years as well as many breeds, and have gotten to enjoy the lasting relationships you build with them. I love being outdoors whether its playing soccer or working in my garden, and both are even better with more animals around! I look forward to meeting you and your beloved animals and thank you in advance for choosing to have me as a part of their life! Currently have a lot of availability and flexibility to make your pets my priority! I love getting outdoors and taking dogs on walks and playing with cats providing them the enrichment they need! I’ve got two cats and a wonderful dog that could possibly keep your animals company but also have the kennels and rooms available to separate them! The animals are my top priority!
About: I am My family had had dogs since I was a kid and I have been incredibly active in taking care of all of them. I’m currently taking the prerequisites for the vet-tech program at Delgado and I have over 6 months of experience as a kennel tech at a veterinary hospital. I’m experienced with taking care of all varieties of dogs and cats as well as administering needed medications. Additionally, I have my own dog, a 1 year old doodle who’s been with me since she was 8 weeks old. I am currently a student at Delgado, and I am free in the mornings before 9, and after 12/1 depending on the day. My schedule stays pretty consistent but I’m good with making adjustments. I live alone off Broadway by Tulane in a duplex. I’m right across the street from Luca Eats (dog friendly breakfast place) and I have a small grass area next to my back patio for my dog to go to the bathroom.
“Super pleased with Dani and her efforts to stay in touch with updates and photos. Even with a storm she still kept me updated with schedule changes. She also took care of my plants while I was away. Dani is super sweet and I have nothing but great things to say. Would recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy help at home with your pets (or plants!) I will be reconnecting with her in the future for any care I may need in the future with Pep!”
“Abby is amazing! She was quick to communicate, great about a little meet and greet before watching my pups. The boys love her and she followed all my instructions perfectly.”
“Christina is the best! I know that three dogs can intimidate most people but her gentle and understanding attitude put my babies at ease instantly upon meeting. She shared many pictures with me of my babies and you could tell that they were comfortable and happy with her company. I would highly recommend her.”
“Ayanna is a true blessing. She was extremely helpful and flexible with our travel plans, and made sure to take extra care of our little guy. She’s the real deal and will absolutely be using her again for our next travel. Thank you Ayanna!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets from dogs to cats to snakes to lizards. I love all living creatures and take care of pets like they were my own. I’m very reliable, dependable, and great with communication. I am more than capable of caring for pets with and without special needs. I look after houses as well as pets in the home. Happy to water plants, take out trash, etc. Your home and pets are safe in my care. I do all kinds of pet care that’s needed while I’m looking after them (baths, giving medicine, etc). I’ve taken care of old, sick, and disabled animals as well. I work at a montessori school during the day from 9-5. If you need drop-ins I can do early morning and evening on top of the regular in-home stay. Just message me and I’ll let you know if I can do it. I live by myself with no pets of my own so your pets will have one-on-one attention and love. My apartment doesn’t allow dogs so that’s the only pet I can’t look after in my own home.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, and it’s something I genuinely love. Friends, neighbors, and family have always relied on me to help with their pets, and I treat every animal like my own. I currently have a senior dog, so I’m very comfortable with older pets and understand how important patience, consistency, and gentle care are. I’m attentive, dependable, and focused on making sure your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you always feel connected and confident your pet is in great hands. I’m a local professional with a flexible schedule for midday and evening walks or drop-ins! I’m especially a great fit for: • Midday walks while you’re at work • Evening drop-ins • Consistent weekly schedules •helping with your pup while you are away At this time, I offer dog walking and drop-in visits and caring for your pup in your home where they are comfortable:) I unfortunately do not board pets in my home, as I have a senior dog and like to keep his environment calm and consistent. I’m very focused on safety and trust, and I take extra care during every visit to ensure your pet feels comfortable, stays on their routine, and is always secure. You can expect reliable communication, updates, and thoughtful care every step of the way.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Harahan
Payton was phenomenal! Great to work with, fully trustworthy, showed up at the requested times and went above and beyond what I ever expected. I honestly think my dog was disappointed to see me and not her when I got home. There isn’t enough stars to show I much I appreciate Payton and her service. Will use her again!! (If not my dog may run away to go find her)

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Harahan is $24 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $24 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Harahan 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.
