About: After my family dog of 15 years passed away, I would love to be able to put that love and energy into another pet. My apartment complex currently does not allow pets, so I would love to be able to help care for someone else’s! I currently work full time, but go for walks nearly every afternoon. I’d love to let a sweet pet benefit from one as well! I currently do not have pets of my own, and am unable to in my apartment, but would love to help anyone with theirs as much as I can. Depending on the pet I’m taking care of, i will take care to drop in with the care and respect your home and your pet deserve.
About: I would be a great pet sitter because I have a genuine love for animals and experience caring for dogs. I regularly volunteer at my local animal shelter on the weekends, where I help care for and support dogs of all sizes and personalities. I have also had my own dog, Twix, a Boston Terrier, for the past five years, which has given me hands-on experience with daily care, including feeding, walking, bathing, and providing attention and comfort. I am very comfortable handling all aspects of dog care and making sure pets feel safe and loved. As a college student, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate different needs and routines. I am responsible, dependable, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Being able to care for your pet would also mean a lot to me, as I miss my own dog back home. Overall, I am committed to providing reliable, caring, and high-quality care for every pet I look after. Although I am a full time college student, I have very flexible hours and I am able to walk and sit dogs with little notice. I am okay with early morning walks and I have my own transportation as well! Keeping a pet calm, comfortable, and clean are my top priorities as a pet owner and caretaker! I am not afraid to clean up after pets and give them baths and since I have my own transportation, walks around parks and other local and safe neighborhoods are also services I can provide.
“Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job taking care of Ritz! I came home to a very happy and healthy dog and greatly appreciate your attention to detail, promptness, and overall fantastic dog-sitting abilities.”
“My friend who usually watches my cat when I go out of town had to cancel last minute and Cristina really came through. She sent lots of pictures and I knew Boo was in great hands. Will definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Loved having Doc watch over Bing during my time out! She’s literally the only person I’d trust to watch over my cat. Moving from out of state it can be tough to find a reliable and trustworthy person to help out while I’m gone, so I’m super grateful and for it working out this way. Thanks again!”
About: Family and friends have trusted me to take care of their fur babies and homes while they're away, by keeping up with their pets' routines and caring for them like they're my own. I bring a calming energy that animals easily take to. I currently care for both dogs and cats. I'm currently in between jobs and doing sitting for friends and family. I have a lot of free time around appointments to provide care, check-ins, and sittings for your pets! While caring for pets at a clients home, I ensure that the pets stay on their routine and get lots of love. I provide reliable care for not only pets but also the homes.
“Faith was great with my four cats! Even the one who hides all the time she made sure he had his food. Twice a day feedings and litter maintenance. Will for sure request her again!”
“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!”
“Ashley was amazing with our pups. Always on time and extremely attentive. She went above and beyond with both pets and pictures. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
About: Animals have been an important part of my life for many years, and I’ve cared for multiple family dogs, including senior dogs. Through that experience, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m comfortable handling the everyday things that help pets feel happy and secure—feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, treats, companionship, and following their usual routine. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely so they can stay as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I also love sending photo updates during visits so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive, and I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. My goal is not just to stop by, but to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable while you’re gone. ❤️ I offer drop-in visits for dogs and small pets such as bunnies, fish, and guinea pigs, and I’m happy to accommodate individual routines and care instructions. 🐱 Please note: I’m moderately allergic to cats, so I’m unable to provide cat care or cat-only drop-ins. If you have a cat in the home along with another type of pet I’ll be caring for, please let me know before booking. I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide drop-in visits most weekday afternoons and some weekends. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to keeping your pet’s routine as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I take your pet’s safety and comfort seriously. I carefully follow your instructions, routines, and any special care needs you share with me. During each visit, I make sure your pet has what they need, that doors and gates are secure, and that their environment is safe and comfortable. I provide care in your home and do not offer services from my own home. My goal is to create a calm, positive experience for both you and your pet.
“Sarah was great!! This was the second time she watched our pets (1 dog, 2 cats and a fish). She checked in on them multiple times a day, sent us updates, and followed the detailed notes we left her. We felt like they were in such great hands that we could actually enjoy our trip without worrying about if they were getting the care we needed. We'll definitely book Sarah next time we travel!”
“Erica is fantastic ! You can tell Erica has a real love for animals , taking time to give love and cuddles. I loved the pictures. Erica went above and beyond our expectations. Perfect pet sitter .”
“Jordan was amazing! She took great care of our dog and kept me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease while I was away. Highly recommend and will definitely book again!”
“Kathrine was really great with our cat Chloe. She communicated very well and let me know if she was running a little late. I appreciated the pictures and how sweet she was with Chloe. We are grateful and already rebooked her for another trip later this summer. Thank you Katherine for the great care you provided to Chloe!”
About: I’ve taken care of my Pomeranian since he was a little puppy, he is 7 years old now. However, I’ve taken care of many other animals such as cats and other dog breeds. I do part-time at another job in Covington during weekend but my schedule is very flexible! I am usually located in New Orleans/Metairie and I would love to take my time to care for your pet(s)! I respect all boundaries and house rules. I treat everyone’s houses as my own. I’m a very neat person so you would not be coming home seeing a mess. And I will keep the house the same way I saw it.
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.
About: I have owned many dogs of different sizes, ages, and breeds. I have a lot of experience with miniature dachshunds, but I have also cared for many rescued dogs of different breeds and sizes. I also have multiple years of experience with senior dog care. I have been a trusted dog sitter off and on for friends and family over the last decade. I am an Emergency Room Nurse. I currently work part-time, which looks like one shift per week. I am free most days of the week. I am a single female with no kids. I have one dog of my own. I have personally cared for small and large dogs as well as dogs that live only outdoors or only indoors. I understand that each pet has different needs, and every home looks different. I am happy to care for any pet as their owner desires.

Mimi was absolutely amazing in taking care of my dogs and cats! She went above and beyond in keeping my informed. She also went out of her way to make my fearful dog feel safe - and they were best friends by the end of the sit! She also handled the medication for my senior dog twice daily. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pets in Mimi's care and I had total peace of mind the entire time. I will definitely book with her again, and I can't recommend her highly enough!
It was a wonderful experience having Karen walk my dog. She was great and trustworthy.she sent me pictures and videos on their walk which I was so happy to see. She was patient and spent extra time with my dog so he was comfortable since it was their first time. Will definitely be using her again in the future.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Jefferson 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.
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 Jefferson 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.
To find sitters in Jefferson with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
