“Karen is the absolute best! She made time to meet with me before the actual day I booked. She wanted Millie to know her before the sitting appointment. She provided a safe, calm environment for my dog during a loud time (fireworks) and went me pictures and updates throughout the night. Karen took such good care of Millie. I never worried while I was out. She's a doll!”
“Missy was excellent! Sbort notice for her to come to our hotel in the French quarter and sit with our foster puppy so we could still enjoy a preplanned date night. Much appreciated and she did a great job”

“High quality care!! Tamara helped us out last minute and was very communicative! She and went above and beyond! We got regular, detailed updates and she helped us when our trip had to be modified. We would absolutely recommend Tamara for in house pet care of the highest quality!”

About: I love animals and have cared for friends’ pets whenever they’ve needed a trusted dog sitter. I’ve also fostered dogs for Take Paws Rescue, from young puppies to senior dogs, which has given me experience with pets of all ages and personalities. I treat every animal with patience, love, and attention, the same way I would want someone to care for my own pets. I have recently started a new job but will have open availability on days off from that job. I will update my availability accordingly. The days that are available you can rest assured they will be dedicated to your pet. I currently have three rescue dogs of my own, a Doberman puppy, a two year old Doberman, and a small mixed breed. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. Because of my own pets, I prefer caring for animals in their own home where they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I always treat every pet with patience, love, and care as if they were my own.
“Chloe was a great sitter for our dog and two cats. She was very communicative and sent a lot of photos which helped us feel at ease while we were away. Our dog barks a lot when he meets people but she seemed totally unfazed and he warmed up to her quickly. We would definitely book with her again!”
“Ryan was absolutely amazing taking care of Ashley and Wesley for the past week! He went above and beyond at every turn, even handling an unexpected vet emergency and a specialty food run with total ease. We felt completely at peace knowing they were in such capable and caring hands while we were away. We absolutely love Ryan, but more importantly, the dogs love him and that’s really the highest endorsement there is. We couldn’t recommend him more highly and will absolutely be using him again!”
“Aidan was an awesome pet sitter! He stayed in our home while we were away and took great care of our dog, Buddy. He followed all of our directions, sent us lots of pictures while we were away and kept the house clean, which is always a plus. We highly recommend Aidan for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Michael is amazing!!!! Super reliable and friendly. Great with my special dog possum. Very communicative and truly left the house better than he found it.”
About: I have taken care of animals, dogs especially, since I was really little, I have always had some kind of dog in my life at all times. I have pet sat for other family members, for neighbors and for friends dogs. I love meeting new fur friends!! Because I have a dog of my own I can understand the needs you have for your dog & am always willing to help whenever I can. Your dogs care is always a top priority. I always go in with a warm attitude, pets want to know you are there to help them, not scare or hurt them. If your pet is like mine, they love snuggles and treats- that’s exactly what I will provide (within reason of course). I can’t wait to meet you and your pet(s).
“As always Jessica makes our vacations stress free when it comes to our pets. She has had keys to my house for years. My Velcro dog adores her and Poppy. My diabetic cat is perfectly taken care of. She goes above and beyond to accommodate anything unexpected in our plans. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Wow. Katherine was great. She followed instructions to a tee and kept Hastings company in my apartment while I was away including take care of all walks and feeding. Also, Katherine had to take over for another person on Rover midway through my trip and she was great about accommodating the hand off. I would gladly use Katherine again.”
About: I've been pet-sitting, both drop-in and overnight, for dogs and cats since I was 15. I took care of my family's elderly dog for the last year of his life, and I have cared for a wide range of breeds. As a college student, I miss my pets back home (two cats), and I love all animals I encounter as if they're my own. I've administered daily medicine to several different breeds of dogs and cats. I have also watched 8-month-old through 14-year-old dogs, all with different daily needs for walks, playtime, and food. I do not have special training for puppies, but if they need a part-time friend or temporary roommate, I'm there (and also all other ages, of course). I have my own car, no allergies, and a deep love for animals! My college classes are from 9 am to 12 pm, so I am always available in the afternoons and never away for more than 3 hours at a time. I will have vacation breaks or exam days, but overall, I'm incredibly available. I care for pets like my own toddlers. They have autonomy, but don't really understand the world the same way adults do and can't use the stove. They need love, attention, and proper exercise, and that's my job. Cats and dogs are dependent on their guardian for their health, and I ensure their enjoyment and a high quality of life.

Proven expertise across a broad spectrum of animals—from domestic dogs and cats to reptiles, amphibians, small mammals, and exotic species.

Known for an intuitive, calm demeanor that quickly builds trust with anxious or sensitive animals while upholding the highest standards of animal welfare and responsible care.m My work schedule allows me to go to homes in local areas of Kenner, Metairie, some of New Orleans, the West Bank and Avondale, Louisiana. I work full time as a sales associate handling high-end, luxury goods with professional and personal references. I have open availability to visit before and after work daily in the morning (depending on where the pet is located) and evening every day. My work schedule rotates every week so the exact times of my availability will vary. I am guaranteed off work three (3) days a week. On my off days I can sleep at your pet's home, with the understanding that I do not have work the next day. I have an animal friendly home. Your cat or cats would have its own room. Cat tree, tunnel and toys. Treats if allowed!! I have 5 cats and 1 dog of my own. They are all friendly however, I would not introduce your babies to them. We want a low stress and safe feeling environment. I understand cats behavior and would not want any unnecessary stress to come to them or my babies.
About: I have had horses and dogs for most of my life. I love being around animals and developing a bond with them. I am an Air Force Veteran and small business owner. I am very reliable and trustworthy to take care of the special dog in your life. I have availability in the evenings after my classes at UC Davis Monday, Wednesday and Friday after 3pm and Tuesdays from 7-9am. I can also help on some weekends by appointment! I am a gym owner and I would primarily have your pet there unless I were to watch your pet in your home. I have a fully vaccinated, friendly 2 year old Doberman mix that will keep your pet playful and busy at my gym or I can leave her home and come for a visit to your residence.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs or has dogs since I was little. When I got older I decided to get my own dog because they are so loving. I have plenty of time on my hands to give lots of love and attention to your pets. Your pet can fit in my daily routine especially because I own one of my own. Your pet is your family and I understand what it’s like to be away from them. But your pets will be completely safe with whatever you prefer me doing for your pets to make you and your pets feel safe and comfortable .

Celeste was amazing with my dogs! She sent me updates and photos daily . My mini schnauzer (who does not like strangers) loved Celeste. My senior dog was looked after very closely as well . Having Celeste taking care of my furbabies made my vacation more enjoyable . Plants were watered , packages brought in and house was just as clean as when I left it ! Will absolutely book her again and recommend her 11 out of 10!
Sophie took care of our dog while we were gone for a weekend trip and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided! She was very attentive, sweet and you can tell she cares about providing a loving environment for the dogs she cares for. We would definitely recommend her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Harahan is $22 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $22 per night. 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.
As of November 2026, there are 756 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Harahan. 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 Harahan 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 Harahan 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 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!
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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Harahan. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
