“We love Shelby!! We have used her a few times & has done a terrific job w/ our pups!! 1st time we used her was when Roger was a pup & we had just got him & went on few days vacation & then when we got our 2nd pup & has longer holiday vacay she took them both for a little over a week . She was simply GREAT!! DEFINITELY would use again!”

“Ben was very accommodating for our dog needs and parents worries. Lilbert was well cared for with walks and her own room! Thanks Ben! Lilbert loved her visit with you. Randy and Gale pick”

“This was our first time leaving Hazel with someone. We were nervous, but Roxanne & Reese made us feel at ease immediately. We were very pleased with how welcoming they were to her and even more happy to hear that she was a very good girl while we were gone.”

“Aja is a superb sitter. Her attention to Paco shown through pictures and videos was a great comfort. I couldn’t have made a better selection than Aja for Paco’s care. I’m very thankful and satisfied and Aja is definitely my “go to sitter” now!”

“Anne did such an amazing job watching my dog calypso! Calypso had never spent time away from me and she had never really spent any time around other dogs, but Anne was so patient and understanding! She sent me pictures of calypso every single day and gave me updates On how she was doing! There was always someone spending time at home so calypso never had to worry about being alone! When I left calypso had horrible separation anxiety and was scared of other dogs, when I came back she was confident and her fear of other dogs was pretty much gone! I will continue to trust Anne with my puppy anytime I travel to NOLA and I definitely suggest that you do too! Thank you so much Anne!!”

“Serena and AJ were amazing with Cookie!! It was very relieving & comforting to know she was in such great hands while I was out of the country for a bit. Serena was always super quick to respond, flexible, and I loved getting all the photo and video updates! 10/10 would recommend & I would definitely book again with her!”

“Dalia took such great care of my little Pomeranian Frankie! She sent photo/video updates everyday and was great with communicating and coordinating. She was even able to drop him off on a holiday, which really helped my schedule that day. Thanks so much!!”

“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!”

“Regina was great with Coco! She was very responsive and kept us updated with pictures while we were gone. Coco seemed to really enjoy herself and came home very happy. I will definitely use Regina whenever we go out of town again!”

“Iryna took wonderful care of my cat for 3 weeks. :) From the meet and greet, to the day I came back to pick her up, Iryna and her amazing family made sure my cat was comfortable in their home and well taken care of the entire time. Thank you sooo so much!!”

“Stacey was excellent with my dog Seamus. She responded to all of my texts in a timely manner, and took wonderful care of him while I was away. Additionally, she took the most adorable photos of him! She goes above and beyond, and I will definitely use her again.”

“Where to begin? Mike was amazing before we even had our bags packed. He set me at ease and once we made it to his place, he quickly won Domino over. They had such a great time and Mike was extremely communicative and sent photos and videos throughout the entire stay. I was able to enjoy my trip knowing that my four-legged dependent was in great hands. Shouting his praises from the rooftop…don’t miss the opportunity to have someone love your baby up while you rest or explore!”

“Shannon went above and beyond for my two girls who are senior doggos with special needs. She truly treated them as her own and I absolutely will be using her again. I feel very lucky that I was able to have her be their sitter, thank you so much Shannon!”

“This was our 1st time using Rover and Randy. We are very pleased with the overall experience. Randy was Great from the quick response to our request for service to the communication before the service began and throughout Jazzy’s stay with him. He sent pictures several times where it was clearly seen Jazzy felt very comfortable with him. We will definitely love to use his service again and will be sure to refer friends and family to him .”

“Eva was great! Our dog Saturn is very high energy and requires some patience initially and she rose to the challenge! Very good at communicating and sending great pictures. Would book again”

“Michael is the best sitter. He loves and cares for my pet as it were his own. My dog is elderly, he’s got experience to give the proper TLC for pets of all ages. I highly recommend Michael.”

“Natalie was amazing! We booked with her to board our dog for a weekend while we’re were in town visiting. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates throughout the stay which we really appreciated! She took great care of our dog and we’re so thankful :)”

“Jon was great! I had to leave town and had a last-minute Rover cancellation! Jon was incredibly easygoing and flexible in accommodating my nervous pup. Jon sent daily updates, which gave me such peace of mind. I’d absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog boarding services in the Uptown area!”

Lower 9th Ward dog parents share their Rover experiences
Caroline is the best! Her intake meet and greet was so thorough and made me feel very comfortable in her attention to details about my pups, preferences routine and needs. Not to mention, he absolutely adores her! The pics were flowing the whole time and when I ran into some travel delays on the way home she was able to keep him an extra night and give me peace of mind that my little baby was happy, healthy, and in good hands. I will definitely be rebooking!!

Etta is an exceptional person with pets . Zoe, our previous pup, had the privilege of spending many occasions with Etta. Currently, we have Coco, and Coco spent the last 21 days with Etta. Coco is deeply fond of her. The photographs and information provided during Coco and Zoe’s stay are invaluable. Etta consistently shared daily pictures and updates about Coco. I have been thoroughly at ease entrusting Coco to Etta’s care.💕

Blair was amazing! This was my first time booking a sitter in New Orleans and she was able to take me last minute. I felt very comfortable and she sent me updates and I could see Sno had a great time with her and was well taken care of. Will be using her in the future for all my future sitter needs. 😃

My dog has stayed with Rosemary several times and she is always so communicative and easy to work with! Rosemary sends pictures everyday and keeps me updated on what they are doing. I know Dia is happy with Rosemary because she easily struts away from me at drop off! (:

Excellent dog sitter! She had great communication throughout the entire time and kept me updated with several messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear my dog was well cared for and happy. I will definitely be hiring her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!

Thank you so much for keeping our senior, high maintenance dog over the Christmas holiday. Victoria went above and beyond and even gave our pup an adorable Christmas sweater. She took great care of our dog, who required 2 shots of insulin a day, a crazy feeding schedule and a few extra pills and eyedrops too! She's a complete rockstar.

Amber took such great care of my baby!! He was right at home and was so happy from the time he arrived until the time I picked him up! She was able to help me out with a last minute booking while I had an unscheduled move and was so great with everything! I will definitely be booking with her again and I highly recommend her to anyone! She will make your baby feel like her own and make sure they have everything they need to feel comfortable. Nothing but the highest praises for Amber!
