“Ashley took care of our cat, made sure her little box was clean and food and water were full. She was great with communication, and let us know how our cat was doing via a detailed description and pictures.”
“I didn't miss my cats as much as usual because I knew they were in great hands with Laine! Laine gave me thorough updates and handled an unexpected pet health emergency with ease!!!!!”


About: I grew up around dogs and cats and love all furry friends! Love giving pets, scratches, and playing with furry friends. And most importantly… cuddling! I’m currently working on getting my master’s for social work so I only work part time and go to school online. I’m available on weekends and most of the day on Tuesdays and Fridays if I don’t have to drop off/pick up my mom from work. I am very attentive with pets, giving them attention, pets and cuddles. I work with autistic children so my reflexes are quick and I am always paying attention!

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. NOTE: I can only take dogs up to 70 lbs due to the size of my space 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.

About: I know firsthand that pets are family—I love my own senior dog, Bleu, with my whole heart, and I will bring that exact same devotion to your furry family members. Having grown up with dogs, cats, and horses my entire life, I am entirely comfortable with all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I pride myself on being highly reliable, dependable, and flexible. I am fully available during weekends and holidays, making it easy to accommodate your busy schedule and give you total peace of mind while you are away. Every pet has unique needs, and my goal is to make my time with them the absolute best part of their day (my dog and I love our routine!) I believe walks are about more than just exercise. I make sure dogs get to stretch their legs, do their business, and safely explore the world through plenty of sniffing. Thanks to my extensive experience with multiple positive reinforcement and clicker training sessions, I practice calm, reward-based interaction to keep your dog feeling safe and confident. Whether I am visiting a dog or a cat, your pet will get my full, undivided attention. I always make time to play with them using their favorite toys and follow their exact home routine. I work 8am-4pm, Monday through Friday with all federal and state holidays off. I have full availability most weekends and holidays (even during Mardi Gras). I follow all clients’ directions whether entering their home or on walks. I will crate the pet if requested and cleanup any accidents or the litter box. I will always double check that all gates or doors are locked while leaving.
“Thank you so much! I really appreciate the thoroughness and the kindness and the prompt visits! I will definitely be requesting you again when I have to go out of town!”


About: Hi! I’m Kaylee, a student at Loyola University New Orleans, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had a variety of pets throughout my life, including dogs and cats. I have over 4 years of experience caring for animals and officially began offering pet-sitting services through Rover this summer. As a college student, my availability is based around my class schedule, and I’m available to pet sit whenever I don’t have classes. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that gives your pet the attention and care they need while you’re away! I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting throughout the New Orleans area. I care for pets of all personalities and make sure their individual routines, feeding instructions, walks, playtime, and other needs are followed closely! As a student at Loyola University New Orleans, I structure my daily routine around pet care visits, walks, and house sitting. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate specific times throughout the morning, midday, afternoon, and evening for drop-ins and walks. For house sitting, I base myself directly at your home to ensure consistent supervision, evening companionship, and adherence to your pet’s exact routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining their normal environment and daily habits to keep them relaxed and stress-free. I strictly follow all owner instructions, including meal portioning, fresh water refills, walking routes, and medication schedules. I keep living areas clean, secure the home upon entry and exit, and send clear photo and text updates during every visit so you always have full peace of mind.
“Karen is the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! From the first meet-and-greet, she was warm, reliable, and instantly connected with our cats. She took the time to understand each of their unique personalities and routines, and her daily updates (with adorable photos!) gave us total peace of mind while we were away. When we got home, everything was spotless, and our cats were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief knowing we can travel without worrying about them. Karen treats our pets like her own — she’s an absolute gem! We couldn’t recommend her more highly.”


“Samantha was such a kind and communicative sitter for our sweet boy! She took the time to come meet him first and always shared thorough updates and loved on our kitty and was attentive to his unique personality. We highly recommend choosing Samantha for your fur babes & will definitely book her again! Thanks Samantha!”

About: I have owned dogs my entire life From Jack Russel’s to Great Danes. I’ve volunteered at vets and shelters and provided care for sick and elderly pets. I have pet sat for years and enjoy providing company and comfort to pets when their owners are away/busy. I work from home full time so have a huge flexibility on my ability to take care of pets or work from other locations if needed! I have a large yard with a brand new and secure fence. I have a well trained and friendly dog and two cats that are super friendly!
“Jessica took excellent care of my 18 year old cat! She spent time with her each visit, made sure she ate and took oral medications, and sent detailed updates with photos every day. It gave me peace of mind that she’s trained in veterinary care. I’ll definitely work with Jessica again.”

About: I've grown up with dogs. I helped care for my family dog from childhood until moving out after college. While living with my father and step mother in between college and medical school I helped care for their family dog. I took them for walks, fed them, provided water, and cleaned up after them as my step mom's dog sometimes had stomach issues. I've also pet sat my little sister's dog, who also needed to take vitamins and antibiotics at night and needed eye creams. I am currently a 4th year medical student who spends most of her free time outside of the hospital studying. Having the opportunity to go for a daily walk outside could easily fit anywhere in my weekend routine, as well as an evening or early morning walk on weekdays. I would love the opportunity to get some sunlight and fresh air while providing that for your dogs as well. Pet sitting in the evenings, over night or on weekends can also seamlessly fit my schedule. I can easily come by after coming home from the hospital to provide your pup with food, water, and a walk outside before we settle down to study, and take some breaks to play with dog toys or nap, or however your pup wants to spend our time together. I don't currently have a pet where I live currently, my dog lives back home with my father and step mother. While I lived with them, I would feed our dog in the morning then let him out into our back patio/yard to pee and poop and get some fresh air, and we would do the same at night. He also enjoyed sitting outside with me when I would take a break from studying, but I always kept an eye out for any signs that he'd been sitting out in the sun for a while and would make sure he'd go back inside and get some cool air and water. I would also take him on a walk either in the morning or in the evening. In your home, if you have a preference on when, where, and how you want these things to happen I will follow them. Otherwise I would take the approach of feeding them in the morning and at night, taking them for a walk or a short trip outside to pee and poop, and make sure they have water. If you prefer your pet be placed in their crate before I leave I will do that as well.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple breeds since I was 10. Dogs are my life and I hope to be a Veterinarian one day! When people in my neighborhood need a sitter or walker i’m the first they’d call. I have my own goldendoodle and cairn terrier back home who i miss dearly. I also have some experience dog training and am the training committee head for Tulanes service dog club (TU Step). I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I go to Tulane University and don’t have any class Thursday's and weekends. I only have about 2 classes a day other wise. While I am at college (Tulane) I cannot have pets in my dorm. At your house i will always keep and eye on your pets and give them love and attention :) (I love dogs so much so really I don’t mind! If your pup has any special care it needs i’m more than happy! I have experience training, giving medicine, etc.
“Lindsey was very dependable. The dogs seemed to love her. I enjoyed knowing my dogs were being cared for in my home. I would definitely use Lindsey as my dog sitter in the future.”

Ethan came over as promised and gave my outdoor kitty his food and water. My ozzie is shy so didn't show up until the night I returned from my trip. But I know he's at neighbor's house and yard. I really appreciate the pictures that Ethan sent me and he took care of my mail too.

Piper went above and beyond to make sure my pet was well taken care of. She is exceptional and really makes sure they feel happy and safe! She also sometimes stays a bit longer than what is expected and is available short-notice and never makes you feel like a bother. Absolutely awesome! 🤩

Laine did everything I asked of her for my kitties in a way that opened my eyes to new methods of expertise. I’d like to give her a high recommendation on her level of care. I knew my kitties (that turn 1 yrs old this month btw) were in great hands. Thank you, Laine 😸

We had such an amazing experience with Olivia while we were away on our honeymoon! She was incredible with administering our cat’s daily eye medication and spent so much time playing with and loving on our fur baby while we were gone. The daily report cards and photos gave us so much peace of mind and truly reassured us that our cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for back at home. We are so grateful for the attention, communication, and care she provided and would absolutely book with her again!

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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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.
