“We’re so happy we found Elizabeth! Both our dog and our cat trusted her right away, and when we came back from our trip, they were both calm and relaxed. It gave us so much peace of mind to know they had company while we were away. She stayed at our home, everything was great with the house too, and we absolutely recommend her 🙌🏻”
“Cheryl did a wonderful job taking care of our little Yorkie! We LOVED getting pictures and updates. We can back to a clean house and a very happy dog. We were definitely able to enjoy our vacation knowing our dog was in good hands! Thank you so much!!”
“Justin is great! I just started booking him this month and have already used his services twice. Banksy is a sweet girl but has some issues with other dogs but Justin hasn’t any problems with her so far. He’s responsive, respectful, and I’ve always come home to a clean house and a happy dog. I’m so glad I found him and will definitely be booking with again soon!”
“Sarah was amazing! She housesat with my pup and my cat while I was out of town and I knew they were in such good hands the whole time! My pup can be nervous when first meeting new people and Sarah was so patient and sweet letting Remy warm to her in her own time showing before showing off her sassy silly self. My cat Sherlock has diabetes and Sarah did an excellent job giving him his insulin. She was super communicative throughout the stay and sent pictures of my little guys.”
“Chloe did a wonderful job handling my crew of 4! She sent lots of updates with pictures & communicated well throughout her stay. I returned to happy pets & a tidy home. My lil family will surely be happy to see her again!”
“Monty provided wonderful care for Jello while I was out of the country. They were super responsive when I checked in and sent photos most days, which I really appreciated. They were also great about adapting to my 15 month old’s puppy energy and zoomies, which is no easy feat. Would absolutely book with Monty again.”
About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, including seniors, I provide personalized attention to ensure each pet’s well-being. My services encompass feeding, exercise, administering medications, and companionship. I understand the unique needs of older pets, such as providing comfortable resting areas and gentle exercise routines to maintain their health and mobility. I treat every pet as if they were my own, prioritizing their safety and happiness. I work from home full time. I’m available weekday mornings and midday (with advance notice). On weekend days schedule is flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. I will ensure your pet’s safety and meet all their needs, whether that means crating them or providing close supervision—whatever keeps them comfortable and secure.
“Ryan was a rockstar sitter. It was my first time using Rover to find someone to watch our house and 3 dogs. Ryan was available on very short notice and went with the flow when we asked him to administer medication to one of our pups at the last minute. The dogs loved him from the get go and we could tell in all the pictures that Ryan sent how at ease they were with him. We will definitely be calling him in the future. Thank you so much, Ryan!”
About: Skilled pet sitter with 3 years of experience. I sincerely enjoy spending time with all animals and I strive to treat every cat or dog as if they were my own! Happy to help when and where I'm needed along with providing any critical care that may be required. Please know that I will gladly spoil your pet to the fullest extent (: I'm currently working part-time while also being in the Army National Guard! I tend to be free majority of the week and normally the weekends as well if I don't have drill. Please feel free to message me with any availability inquiries that you may have (: If boarding, I have a fenced in yard along with a spacious home that includes french doors that I can close off from the rest of my house in case I'm babysitting a small kitten or puppy that may require a watchful eye!
“Alaina is such a great cat sitter! There was a storm while I was away and I had minimal phone/ internet to get in touch. I was very stressed about it but Alaina handled the emergency so well, took my cat to her house and he was doing great when I got back.”
“Caitlin was absolutely wonderful. She had the pleasure of taking care of my four babies (2 dogs and 2 cats) for a week in our home while we were on vacation. I felt so bad for her the first couple of days because they wouldn’t eat, and uncooperative. But she was patient with them and kept me informed. Before I knew it they all became the best of friends. Plenty of pictures to prove it. I would definitely use Caitlin again. Thanks Caitlin for keeping our minds at ease while we were away.”
“Madelynn did a great job caring for our babies! She frequently sent us pictures, videos and updates, which we really appreciated. Each time she sent us pics and videos, our babies looked happy and relaxed. We are so grateful to her!”
About: After a tragically pet-free childhood, I've spent the last 20 years seeking out any opportunity to care for animals—from free dog walking for friends and cat-sitting for vacationing pals to hiking with hounds and being a designated vet chauffeur. I love exploring the outdoors with a dog, chucking sticks across empty fields, and praising them for every "good stretch"! I do everything I can to make pet parents feel comfortable and assured when they leave their furry friends in my care—including plenty of photos and updates! I work from home as a writer/editor and a live-edge woodworker, so my schedule is entirely flexible and under my control. I have a fenced-in backyard with ample shade where I often write and work, so outside time is always available for the animals I care for. I love walking the city and wandering through green spaces, especially Audubon Park and City Park, and having a puppy pal to accompany me makes it even more enjoyable. My interior home space is approximately 1,800 square feet, with multiple couches and rooms and sunspots for dogs and/or cats to relax and lounge. The fenced-in backyard is well-secured with a 6-foot fence for stress-free bathroom breaks, and my active lifestyle takes me on at least 2 longer walks each day, typically in the morning and evening. At a client's home, I pride myself on being highly adaptable to new routines and expectations, and my career as an editor makes me very attentive to details, e.g., medication needs, feeding times, sleep schedules, walk durations, etc. Whether you need someone to pop in and play with your pooch for an hour, or leave your animal at my home for a longer trip, you can rest assured they will be cared for, loved and pampered in a safe and comfortable environment.
About: I have taken care of dog cats and animals ever since I can remember. As a child, a teenager and college student, I had a monopoly on taking care of my Neighbor’s pets. I have experience with puppies, kittens, senior dogs, multiple animals and even birds. I prioritize Service and Care and don’t like to keep you guessing. I value communication while you are away from your pets. I currently do freelance contract work, sometimes from home, and sometimes from other locations around New Orleans. I have a flexible schedule with periods of time to easily step away and spend time with your dog or cat! I have three cats and a sizeable fenced in yard. Your pet’s health, safety and comfort is the highest priority to me. I can’t wait to meet them!
