About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats for over 35 years. Although I've been away from Rover for a while, I'm eager to resume pet care. I have a passion for making sure your pet gets the best TLC possible in any given situation. I've had dogs, cats, and others in home and farm/ranch settings over the years. Your pets are family to you and will be treated like family by me. I can take excellent care of them and make sure they stay happy while in my care. I am excited to meet and give your pet the love, care, and attention they need. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take excellent care of your pets. I'm available mornings, early afternoons, and later evenings (9pm onward). I'm available for sittings and drop-ins at the moment. I'm adaptible and happy to give care and communication according to your preferences. A meet and greet is a must to make sure everyone is on the same page and is a great fit.
“Karen is phenomenal!! Our 3yo doodle LOVED her, as did we😊 From our first interaction through watching our girl she was truly one in a million!!! She is proactive, thoughtful, excellent communicator, on time, flexible, responsible, caring with exceptional knowledge about dogs. We traveled from CO to NOLA for Jazzfest and she was happy to stay in our trailer at the EV park with our girl. Wish we could give her 100 stars 🌟🌟🌟for her stellar service!!! Thank you so much Karen, you are a true gem 🩵”
“Maggie was wonderful. She arrived on early to meet the girls and they were instantly attached. She made it easier for me to leave knowing they were in good hands. Throughout the evening she kept me updated with text and pictures. The pups looked like they got plenty of snuggles and treats. When she left, the house was tidy and exactly like I left it. I highly recommend Maggie and look forward to having her watch my girls again.”
“Jennifer was the absolute best! She was very thorough when we first met. Jennifer gave me updates daily with pictures. She took such great care of our Ruby, 100% will ask her to stay and see watch Ruby again. If you want someone who is very reliable, thorough, caring and devoted to your pet, book with Jennifer!”
“Janna was great! She came by to meet our dogs before we scheduled our trip. The boys seemed to really like her. She asked good questions to get clarification on our instructions. When it came time for her to sit with the boys we had lost our old boy. So, she only had to take care of our young dog. He can be a real handful. She let us know she played outside with him and took him for several walks during the day. We are pretty sure he felt like a king! Some of our plans were cancelled and we did not have to rush back home so we asked if we could adjust the time she would be there. She was very flexible. Since we were returning the same day as planned only many hours later than planned, she returned late in the day to let him out. Not only did she let him out, she took him for another walk. Way above the call of duty! When we got home, Dugan was happy and relaxed. Janna left the house in great shape. She wash sheets - something I did NOT expect but truly appreciated. We were looking for a new "Go To" dog and house sitter and she fits the role perfectly. We will definitely be using Janna again.”
“Caroline was the consummate professional sitter for our recent vacation. I highly recommend her services. Caroline took great care of our pups in our home while we were gone, sending numerous pictures each day to let us know how they were doing. We could tell by their posture and demeanor they were happy and not stressed … which was our concern with leaving them with someone “new.” Caroline love the doggos and most importantly, they loved her! Additionally, Caroline took immaculate care of our home and had our place looking pristine upon our arrival home. I cannot be more pleased with her services! Use her!!! You won’t be disappointed!”
“Ashley took amazing care of our two dogs. Provided us with so many photos and updates and just went above and beyond. She made us feel completely comfortable that our dogs were in great hands while we were out of town. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have taken care of doggos, kitties, chickens, and horses. I grew up with dogs, and I've always enjoyed their company. I have taken care of baby animals up until senior animals. I have a wide array of experience. I have administered Insulin to dogs, and other medications for all animals. I currently have 3 kitties of my own. I look forward to caring for your furry friends! My schedule is currently very flexible. I am a gig worker, so my schedule varies, but I'm generally available. I'm available throughout the week, weekends, and holidays. I have a fenced in front and backyard at my house. I will always make sure your animal is comfortable in their environment. I will send you updates and follow all care instructions.
“She was so accommodating and was wonderful with our super senior dog! She was also so knowledgeable about her current health conditions and did a great job with all meds and special feeding routines. She was wonderful ❤️”
About: I have grown up with pets since I was a child and currently have 2x 50 pounders. I have been house sitting and dog walking for neighbors and family friends for over 10 years, and been on pet care platforms for 5+ years. Happy to lend an extra hand where needed! Summer break! Loads of free time on my hands. Hospitality professional taking the month of July off and able to offer my services in Metairie, Kenner, New Orleans I pay lots of attention to pets when on the clock and at home. I also have reliable transportation. I can provide drop in, walking, and overnight stays for the next few weeks
“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.”
“Sophie took care of our dog while we were gone for a weekend trip and we couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided! She was very attentive, sweet and you can tell she cares about providing a loving environment for the dogs she cares for. We would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have one year of experience working at Pet Supermarket, where I worked around many different types of animals and gained hands-on experience caring for pets. I also helped wash dogs in the Doggy Wash station, so I’m comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy making sure pets feel safe, clean, comfortable, and cared for. I’m a Xavier student with a flexible schedule, and I’m able to come home between classes during my breaks to check on, walk, feed, or spend time with pets. I’m also available after classes during the week and have more open availability on weekends. I’m happy to work with each pet parent to create a routine that works best for their pet. I live in an apartment with plenty of safe outdoor areas nearby for walks and potty breaks. I always supervise pets, follow their normal routines, keep fresh water available, and make sure they’re comfortable and safe.
“Dani exceeded our expectations & came in clutch for us as our previous dog walker we books months in advance cancelled the week of our wedding. We were visiting from out of town for our wedding with our fur baby and Dani was so gracious enough to help us out on her day off by ensuring our fur baby as fed, taken out,& loved on during our wedding day. We are forever grateful for Dani :)”
About: Hi my name is Josh! I recently moved back to New Orleans from Scottsdale Arizona. Its definitely a different kind of heat here, but I prefer it! Something you may find that separates me from others is the energy I bring to the table. It will have your dogs wanting more time with me! I have been a dog owner for many years as well as many breeds, and have gotten to enjoy the lasting relationships you build with them. I love being outdoors whether its playing soccer or working in my garden, and both are even better with more animals around! I look forward to meeting you and your beloved animals and thank you in advance for choosing to have me as a part of their life! Currently have a lot of availability and flexibility to make your pets my priority! I love getting outdoors and taking dogs on walks and playing with cats providing them the enrichment they need! I’ve got two cats and a wonderful dog that could possibly keep your animals company but also have the kennels and rooms available to separate them! The animals are my top priority!
About: I am a passionate dog lover with extensive experience as my father is a veterinarian at Cornell University and I have been volunteering with many animal projects since I was a child. Furthermore, I used to participate in dog sled racing and recently finished an internship working with over 100 sled dogs, letting them out, training, feeding, and handling them. My family currently owns one dog yet in the past we have owned up to 26, and I have single handedly cared for 10 at a time. I have been pet sitting for 4 years, am dog CPR certified, and can administer oral medication if needed. I have worked with dogs and cats of all sizes, and am most comfortable with large and medium sized dogs I work from home and regularly travel/watch pets using the trusted Housesitter app. My schedule consists of assigned task, so I will be able to walk and give love to your furry family throughout the day. I try to keep routine as usual so that pets have an easy transition of care. I’m great at engaging with active pets or lounging with older/special needs pets.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Marrero
Aidan was an awesome pet sitter! He stayed in our home while we were away and took great care of our dog, Buddy. He followed all of our directions, sent us lots of pictures while we were away and kept the house clean, which is always a plus. We highly recommend Aidan for any of your pet sitting needs!
Maggie was wonderful. She arrived on early to meet the girls and they were instantly attached. She made it easier for me to leave knowing they were in good hands. Throughout the evening she kept me updated with text and pictures. The pups looked like they got plenty of snuggles and treats. When she left, the house was tidy and exactly like I left it. I highly recommend Maggie and look forward to having her watch my girls again.
I've been using Rover for years and Lindsey is one of the best sitters my husband and I have had! Warm, communicative, professional. Sent us photos, videos and updates daily. Took great care of our home and two cats. And even stayed an extra day when our flight home was delayed. Highly recommend!!
Just moved to the area and so lucky to find Jaedynn! She took great care of our 3 pups. We are so excited to have found someone so trustworthy and kind with our fur babies. She sent tons of photos and updates which made us feel like we were in great hands- and we definitely were. The dogs are already asking when you’re coming back! See you soon and thanks for taking such great care of the pups and the house!
Samantha did a lovely job watching our two boys for us while we were on vacation. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. The house was in great shape when we got back and the boys were very well cared for. I would highly recommend Samantha for any pet sitting needs!
Goes above and beyond you can tell she truly cares. Treated my dog like he was her own.Very intuitive with dog behavior. Moved shoes to keep the dog from eating them, this was very much appreciated. Worked with him and trained him while we were away. Made sure to include physical and mental stimulation. Gave insightful and reassuring updates it was my first time leaving him for this amount of time could not have had a better experience she’s amazing with him and an amazing sitter very professional and sweet.
I trust Daphne so much with my pups. The girls love her and we use her over and over when I have to travel. Dixie now has a medical condition and needs a little more tlc with meds and such - Daphne so mindful and considerate to accommodate however needed to make her comfortable. Can’t recommend her enough.
Cody was so awesome with our two boys while we were away! They were super communicative and sent lots of updates/photos. Our two cats are very different personality-wise and Cody was amazing with both of them and catered to their individual needs. They also left our place super clean! 10/10 would recommend and we’ll definitely be booking again for our next trip!
Lily did a wonderful job with my senior, partially deaf, dog, and guinea pig. My dog can be challenging as he can be a bit standoffish, but she got him to warm up. Also, he only gets pain medication when necessary, so it was up to her observation and judgment. My guinea pig requires daily cage cleaning and feeding, in addition to handling my dog's needs.
Emily was absolutely amazing! She arrived on time, sent photos, asked questions when she noticed Charlee wasn't going potty as usual and communicated consistently and with details! Having just moved to the area, I was nervous with a new sitter, but after this first experience with Emily, I will definitely choose her as my first choice for furbaby care, and hope that she is available! Thank you, Emily!! :))
Anika was ABSOLUTELY amazing. She gave plenty of updates on our girl, i had zero worries about if nova was okay or not bc she loved her girl Anika, they became fast friends! Anika went above and beyond for us and i can’t thank her enough! I actually can’t recommend her enough to anyone who needs their fur babies taken care of! we will definitely rebook with Anika next time we need a sitter!! 10/10 no notes!! We love her!!
Cole did a great job pet sitting for our two pups. One is very high energy, which was no trouble for Cole. The other is diabetic and needs insulin. Cole didn't have previous injection experience but was willing to learn and up to the task. We came home to two happy and healthy dogs and would definitely use Cole again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Marrero is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $70 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 780 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Marrero. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Marrero walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Marrero maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Marrero 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!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
