“As much as we dislike leaving our pets (including two seniors with special needs) and home, we’re grateful they’re all in great hands with Joel. We appreciate the regular updates and him going above and beyond to take such good care of everyone while we’re gone. Will happily reach out to Joel for future pet-sitting needs!”
“Danielle C was an outstanding pet and house sitter! I could not recommend her more. She communicated with me throughout her stay, sent amazing photos and clearly loved being with my dogs. I can’t wait to have her back :-)”
“Cheryl was great! She was prompt and good about sending photos and updates on the dogs' behaviour, etc. We were gone for two nights and had complete peace of mind knowing she was taking care of our two Boston Terriers. As a bonus, she washed the bed sheets and towels and left the house immaculate! We'd definitely have her back!”
“Ian stayed at our house with our two pit mixes and our two cats. Everything was safe and sound when we got home 4 days later. He was bang on time for our meet and greet as well as the day we left. Sent us pictures and was communicative throughout. He even got our nervy dog to warm up to him a bit!!”
About: My father raised and trained dogs so I have been caring for dogs since childhood. I have been personally caring for my own dogs as well as dogs of family and friends for the past seven years. I am medically trained for emergencies and can care for special needs and sick dogs. I will treat your pet with the love and kindness as I do my own. I can be available day and night, weekends and holidays even on short notice. I am hoping to make this a full-time position and will be available seven days a week 24 hours a day and can provide same-day service. I will follow all rules of the home in which I am sitting. I will never leave pets unattended. They will have my full attention and safety is my number one priority.
“Ryan is conscientious, attentive to deal, kind, dog-loving -- he's the whole package!He was a support and trusted advisor to me on our recent trip when our older dog was not doing well. I cannot recommend him any more highly.”
“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!”
“Martha stayed with our two pups while we were out of the country for a week and a half. She did an amazing job caring for our elderly dog who has some significant health issues. The dogs clearly loved her and were super loving with her. Thank you so much, Martha!”
“Lydia gets a five star tail wag review from Rex! She was great from start to finish and gave us lots of updates and pics! It was our first experience using Rover and we feel very fortunate that Lydia was available and flexible. She connected with Rex quickly and he was happy to have her company! Thank you, Lydia!”
“Chloe did a fantastic job taking care of my pups! I loved all the photos and updates. They were happy and my home was as clean as I left it. Thank you, Chloe, Cohiba & Ollie look forward to seeing you soon!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.
“Jared was great while housesitting and watching my cats! He is kind, responsive, and trustworthy. I came home to a clean house and happy kitties :) would definitely use him again for my next trip!”
“Jenifer took such great care of our 2 cats! She was attentive, affectionate, and patient with them, as they can be demanding when it comes to feeding. Our cats are high maintenance and have to be fed 3 times a day at specific times, including an early 6:30 am, and she kindly fed them at their specified times. She also sent frequent updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. She’s also such a sweet person. I highly recommend her!”
“Elizabeth stayed at our house to pet sit for our senior kitty. Elizabeth gave picture updates and was communicative the entire time while we were away. When we arrived, our kitty had clearly gotten tons of care and attention! The house was also kept clean and tidy just like when we left. Will definitely be using Elizabeth on future trips!”
“The best pet sitter in New Orleans! Stacy has stayed with my two dogs several times over the past two years, including rescuing me with less than 24 hour notice back in April. You cannot go wrong asking her to watch your pets.”
“This was my first time using Rover and an overnight sitter. Carly was excellent! She kept in touch about how my dog was doing and made me feel comfortable. She kept to the dog's schedule perfectly and my indoor/outdoor cat even came inside to hang out - which he usually doesn't if I am not home. My home was immaculate when I got back and both pets were happy and healthy. I will 100% use Carly again to watch my pets when I am out of town. I highly recommend her for all of your Rover needs.”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Deana! She was so wonderful with our very, very quirky dachshund who was sick with pneumonia, and equally as wonderful with our very shy cat. She was also so incredibly responsive and reliable. She picked up meds at the vet, and made sure they both got everything they needed. She also had to deal with a water leak in our apartment and was on top of everything, and overall just very respectful of our space. She is the absolute best house sitter we have ever had, and she is truly amazing. Thank you Deana 🙏🙏🙏”

Ian did a great job and I came home to a happy dog and a clean place! I was worried because I was overseas for two weeks and needless to say, if I had to get back for any reason it would've likely taken 24 hours minimum. Didn't have to worry about that, and I was comforted by daily pics and updates;)
Hands down the absolute best pet sitter. Cheryl has taken care of my babies for the past 10 years whenever we go on vacation. My babies are always well taken care of and I never have to worry about anything when we are away. I don’t know what we would do without her.
Ryan was awesome with our retrievers. He house sat while we were away: fed them, stayed with them and even took the youngest to doggy daycare. He sent lots of photos to let us know everything was okay-which gave us peace of mind. If we needed to leave again, we’d fully trust Ryan to watch our pups in our house.
Josephine not only showed up on time, she was able to come early with just 45 minutes notice when I had gotten our departure time wrong. She was great with our dog and texted me updates re how things were going. We used her all day the first day and 1/2 of the second day. Our dog seemed to like her and have fun with her. We highly recommend Josephine.
David came highly recommended by a close friend who has trusted him for years to care for their pets while they travel frequently. From the moment I met him during a meet-and-greet at Brodie’s favorite dog park, I could tell he was genuinely kind and incredibly comfortable around dogs. He built rapport with Brodie right away. Before our trip, David also took the time to visit our home and familiarize himself with the space and surrounding area. He asked all the thoughtful, practical questions you’d expect from an experienced and responsible dog sitter, which immediately gave me confidence. While we were away for a week, it was clear David went above and beyond. Through our home security system, we could see him consistently playing with Brodie, taking him on daily walks (at least twice a day), and giving him plenty of attention and care. It was obvious they formed a great bond. When we returned, not only was Brodie happy and well cared for, but our home was in excellent condition. David kept everything clean, maintained the pool, and even watered our plants daily—details that did not go unnoticed. This experience proved to us that David is someone you can trust 100%. I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring pet care.
