“Roxanne took such good care of our girl for a week while we were out of town. She had friends to play with and Roxanne sent us several photos and updates to keep us in the loop. We would definitely take our dog back to stay with her again!”
“ I'm so glad that Jeaux and I had the opportunity to book with Ms. Elena. She also has a Toy Chihuahua named Paco and they became like "three peas in a pod!” My drop-off day was very hectic and behind schedule due to me preparing to go out of town, but Ms.Elena was pleasant and patient with me. When we arrived to her home, we were welcomed into a beautiful, clean space with Southern Hospitality galore! During the stay she emailed me updates along with pics and videos of their playtime. Once I arrived home she offered to meet me at a convenient location to drop-off my baby, that she now calls “her baby”, since we lived a bit of a distance from one another. Sooo sweet...but that's not the best part. When I received Jeaux he had been bathed, his bed and towel washed and she even sent him home with his favorite toy from the visit! If you want someone to treat your dog like their own, this is the place. My experience with Ms. Elena was pleasant from start to finish and I would highly recommend her services. Jeaux gives her two paws up :)”
“Michael is so kind and helpful. I was nervous to leave my fur-child with someone new to go out of town. He made me feel at ease from the start and my pup also did very well. He was prompt in all communication and let me know how she was doing periodically. Would definitely recommend and I plan to have him watch her again for the next trip!”
“Michael and Rachel took absolutely wonderful care of my dog Gizmo while I was away! From the moment we met, I could tell they genuinely love animals and treat them like family. They were attentive, responsible, and incredibly kind — sending me regular updates and photos that made me feel completely at ease. Gizmo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief to know he was in such caring and capable hands. I highly recommend Michael and Rachel to anyone looking for trustworthy and compassionate dog sitters!”
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Ms. Etta is THE BEST! She always takes such great care of my boy and always going above and beyond to make sure he’s taken care of, including keeping Bronx in an emergency or if something comes up. She’s Amazing with him and just a beautiful soul all around.”
“My dog was so happy at drop off when he saw Mike again! Mike went above and beyond as usual, playing with my pup daily and making sure he felt so loved. I have already booked him for future trips. Thank you so much for always sending plenty of updates/photos!”
“Absolutely amazing pet sitter! They took such great care of my fur baby — super reliable, communicative, and clearly love animals. I got regular updates and photos, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for pet. I had total peace of mind the whole time. I would 100% recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“She is amazing. She responded super fast, took great care of my 2 kitties, and was very nice. When I’m back in New Orleans I’m booking with her again.”
“Iryna was incredibly sweet and nurturing to our cats, Ziggy & Roux! Her communication with me throughout their stay with her was impeccable. We hope to work with Iryna again!”
“Whitney is hands down the best caretaker! My 2 dogs absolutely love her and she takes care of animals as if they are her very own! She gave me such peace of mind leaving my pups with her and I cannot recommend her enough to anyone seeking a reliable, dependable, and trustworthy pet sitter! Thank you, Whitney! Dauphine and Mary love you so much!”
“I am always a bit hesitant about leaving my sweet yet very active pitbull in someone's care. Michelle assuaged all my concerns and took amazing care of my dog. Michelle's husband took my active dog walking and running and gave her plenty of exercise. I found a lean and very happy dog on my return. Michelle sent me daily pictures of Millie enjoying her staycation and having a wonderful time with other dogs. Millie was socialized, exercised, cared for, and I am delighted to have found Michelle. Millie found her permanent sitter. Lucky us!”
“There’s not enough thank you notes I can give Sarah. As we are traveling across states for the holidays, she accommodated us and took care of my baby. We had many issues in our traveling and she still accommodated. I also loved that Sarah took Pluto out several times throughout the day and he obviously felt right at home. I’d recommend her to everyone! She was amazing!”
“We were extremely lucky to find Evlin on Rover when we were staying in New Orleans for our vacation. She knows dogs very well and takes great care of them. She did a wonderful job with our dog for two days and made us comfortable from starting from the first phone call to the pick-up. She sent many pictures to us while she was taking care of our dog to let us know that he is in good hands. I would recommend her to anyone with a small to medium dog, especially if you are stopping by New Orleans and in need of quick and trustworthy help. If there was a 10 star option, I would have left a 10 out of 10. Thanks Evlin!”
About: Hi, I’m Britt — a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet sitter. I had my sweet pup Abbie for 10 wonderful years, and since her recent passing, I’ve deeply missed having a dog around. I’m not quite ready to adopt again just yet, but I’d love to share my home and heart with your pup in the meantime. Over the years, I’ve cared for countless friends’ dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. I work remotely (as does my partner), so your dog will have constant company, attention, and care. We live in a quiet neighborhood with a spacious yard that’s fully enclosed with double-secured fencing — perfect for safe play and lounging in the sun. I also have a soft spot for senior dogs and understand the extra patience and TLC they may need. Whether your pup is energetic or a couch cuddler, they’ll be treated like family here. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet — I’d love to hear about your dog and how I can help! Right now, I’m freelancing remotely through November — my main job runs from November to June, so I currently have a super flexible schedule and work from home full-time. That means your pup will rarely be left alone and can expect lots of attention, walks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m available for daytime care, overnights, or longer stays depending on your needs! I’m currently in a pet-free home, so your dog will get all the attention without the stress of sharing space with other animals. I live in a cozy New Orleans shotgun-style house that’s easy to section off depending on your dog’s needs — whether they like their own space or prefer to be close by. We also have a double-secured fenced yard that’s great for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. While this profile is just for me, my partner is also home full-time and a calm, animal-loving presence. He’s especially patient with dogs who may be shy or nervous around men. I’m happy to accommodate crate training, medication, or any specific routines to help your pup feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me.
“Cora loved Shelby's home. Shelby sent photos and videos and little messages throughout our trip, which really eased our worries about leaving Cora for the first time. Cora was happy and energetic when I picked her up and Shelby's mother expressed her love our pup. Thank you for caring for our girl!”
“Mary was a wonderful sitter. She sent pictures and kept me updated on the status of my fur baby. He seemed to be in great spirits upon picking him up. Will definitely recommend Mary as a sitter and utilize her service again in the near future.”
“Alejandra is the best! She sends pictures, videos, and updates and is so patient with our anxious pup. This was our dog’s second stay with her, and I know she treats him so well because he was so excited to see her.”
“Christine and her kiddos do an amazing job caring for Sneaux while I’m away! They make sure to send video and picture updates and check in several times a day. My trips are less stressful because I know my baby is being well taken care of!”

Lower 9th Ward dog parents share their Rover experiences
Dex took such great care of my pup while I was away for a little over a week! Dex sent fun pictures and updates that gave me peace of mind, and when my dog developed an ear infection during the stay, Dex let me know right away and was super helpful with treatment. I know Missy was well loved and had a great time in Dex’s care. Couldn’t ask for more—highly recommend! Will absolutely book Dex again!
Rachel and Michael were such great caretakers for my best friend Phil! Communication was really easy, they sent photos every day, and Phil was happy, well fed, and well rested when he came home. In fact, I think he was a little depressed--he loved them and their dogs so much! So happy to have found Rachel and Michael to help take care of Phil when I travel.
Jas was PHENOMENAL with caring for our Frenchie while we were away! From the moment we met her, our dog was comfortable and so were we. She sent pics and videos and gave us training tips when we picked him up. We will definitely be using her again for all future boarding needs! Highly recommend her for your smaller dogs.
Kenneth watched my dog nova for a day and overnight when I went to a Mardi Gras parade and I can’t be more pleased. First off it was last minute and during Mardi Gras nonetheless so it was very challenging to find someone, Kenneth made it easy and responded to my request almost immediately. I was able to drop nova off and felt like I left her in good hands. Kenneth sent me lots of videos and photos during his time with nova which was also super appreciated. And finally when I was an hour late picking her up because I lost my keys and had to wait on a locksmith, he didn’t mind. Overall if I could give 6 stars I would and if I need a dog sitter in New Orleans again I know who to ask. Thanks so much Kenneth!
Juliana was a blessing. We were so anxious to leave our dog and we had never used Rover before but heard good things. She put us right at ease the moment we met her. She has two very well trained dogs and a huge fenced in backyard. She sent us pictures so we would know that our pup was doing just fine and being well cared for. Communication was easy and pleasant. I would definitely use Juliana again and highly recommend her.
