“Sherryann has been a great help walking our dogs during a family health crisis. She is responsive, professional, and efficient, communicates well, and is good with the pups. She has reliably gotten our stressed-out dogs some air and much-needed exercise even when one of them (and they are large) was feeling fussy and balky and extra shy. I highly recommend her.”
About: I've had several years of experience taking care of dogs, hamsters, and even the elderly. I worked for PETCO and routinely maintained the health and happiness of all the pets we housed. Now, my sister and I take care of the neighborhood cats and chickens when they come and visit. I currently work at my own time so anytime is perfect for me. Unless I am helping another client, your services will be no problem!
“Chloe is dedicated to walking my pup who loves her. She braves all weather conditions and schedule changes with a good attitude. My dog Sophie gets the zoomies after every walk.”
“Deana was wonderful with Oggi. Had her for a week to help out while I worked & he loved her. Professional, on time, followed all instructions & attentive noticing when he got tired or the heat was a bit much for him. If you want someone who will care for your fur baby I recommend her”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. Very familiar with various breeds and ages. I have one pomsky dog myself who is 4 years old and very friendly. Currently work from home so am able to be with your dog 24/7 while under my care. I work remotely so I am able to be home all day, giving plenty of attention to your fur baby. I also live across the street from the levee and go on at least two hour long walks a day with my dog. I have a fenced yard and one friendly dog myself who would love some friends to play with. My home is structured so they have plenty of room inside to run around as well. I allow my dog on the sofa and in my bed!
About: I have always been passionate about animals and grew up being a "Dog Girl". I would opt to study dog breeds before bed instead of bed time stories and quiz my parents on walks and car rides. I've cared for Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Yorkies, and French Bulldogs all the way up to Giant Schnauzers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, and Labradoodles! Once I moved out on my own and moved into a studio apartment I realized that I may not have room physically for a dog but I would be able to help out cats who are waiting for their furever homes. I have been fostering cats for 5 years and have been able to help cats in both Chicago and New Orleans acclimate to home life as they await their adoption. I have "Foster Failed" and do have my own cat, Dolly, who is my constant companion. I often care for my friends animals in the area and look forward to meeting your fury family member! I do have blocks of time through out the day where I can check in and spend time with your fur baby. I have a pretty flexible schedule but it does fluctuate. I would be able to work with your animal's schedule but it will depend sometimes week to week or month to month. I have a lot of free time in early morning, around lunch and late evenings every day with most days having free afternoons and/or evenings. I will not be hosting animals in my home at this time but I do have space for animals as I often foster shelter cats in my home.
About: As a proud puppy parent to a playful 2-year-old, I know exactly what it takes to care for dogs with both heart and structure. Whether your dog needs snuggles, playtime, or a little gentle discipline, I bring the perfect balance of fun and responsibility. I’m all about making sure your furry friend feels loved, safe, and completely cared for—because that’s what I’d want for mine. From belly rubs to structured walks, your pup will be treated like family from start to finish. I work from home with flexible hours, available for walks anytime. After 4 PM weekdays and weekends are wide open to care for your dogs fully. I ensure dogs stay safe always, using crates if needed. I’m attentive and constantly watchful to keep them secure and comfortable at all times in my care
About: I’ve had pets (dogs and cats) for nearly my entire life! I have a genuine love for all animals and am very attentive & patient. I currently have 3 cats with 3 entirely different personalities, a sweet senior dog, and a fiesty little hamster. Tell me your needs & they shall be met! I work part-time and have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I will work with your requests and be very upfront about expectations before the scheduled visits. I am offering to come to the pet’s home and provide care for them there. Before you’re away, we will schedule a meet up to go over everything. I’m happy to spend as much or as little time with your pets as you desire!
“Devin was amazing! He watched my son’s two dogs for 3 days while he was out of town for a family event They are strong energetic dogs, a pit Bull and a pit/catahoula mix, and they loved Devin. He kept us informed, took great pictures, long walks and was extremely reliable and trustworthy. We would definitely use Devin again and highly recommend him. It’s obvious he loves dogs and knows how to handle them.”
About: I am a flexible, reliable dog owner and lover. I understand the amount of energy dogs can have, and I work to meet their individual needs. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality. I am available many days of the week to take care of your babies while you are away at work. I also have an older dog with special needs, so I am understanding of dogs with disabilities or medical needs, and I know how scary it can be to leave your senior dogs with someone new. I am available to take your dog on plenty of walks through out the day to ensure that they are getting the exercise and attention they need. I have taken care of dogs for many years and I understand how important they are to a family, so I strive to treat everyone's dog as my own. I have toys and leashes and treats so that all my dogs have a great time, and to make drop off and pick up easy on the owners! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can be available according to your dog's regular routine and needs. I like to stick to the dog's regular routine as closely as possible. I like to learn about the dog and it's owner so that I understand their usual routine, so that we can stick to what they are used to as closely as possible to minimize seperation anxiety and prevent any schedule disruptions.
“I booked with Diana on late notice and she was very accommodating. My pup has a lot of energy and she did a great job of getting him the exercise he needs. Highly recommend!”
About: Passionate pet sitter committed to personalized care. Years of experience providing compassionate care, ensuring tails wag and purrs persist. I've worked with the SPCA, neighbors, and my own furry companions. Your pet's well-being is my priority! I’m a full-time petsitter so have flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I’m available during business hours or after hours for those requiring extra special care. I have a secured home where pets can roam, and a fully-fenced backyard. Depending on your specific needs, your pets could spend time with me indoors, on walks, at the dog park, and with me in the backyard, if weather permits. Pet camera shared with you while you pooch rests while you're away.
About: I've had pets my entire life. I'm retired now and travel extensively for part of the year, so I'm unable to have pets of my own and thought this would be a great way to keep busy while I am in town. I have a doggy door and a large, gated backyard for games of fetch or hide and seek. I will provide a safe, loving home while you are away or drop-in if you so choose. When I'm in NOLA, I often work part-time from home. I'm retired so you could call me a homebody, and I'm often found working in my garden. In the fourth quarter of the year, I do travel until thanksgiving but will keep my calendar here updated. I am relatively flexible with scheduling. My son recently moved and took his Boston Terrier with him, so there are no longer any pets in my home. I have a large, fenced yard perfect for games of hide-and-seek or fetch, and I'm often in the back as well working on my garden. I do not have any plants that would present a danger. I love to take long, daily walks on the levee, which is only two blocks away...and would love to bring your pet along! I often have family visit, who also love pets.
About: Hi, I’ve cared for pets big and small—from Chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees, cats, rabbits (I have two!), fish, and even farm animals. I always take time to understand each pet’s needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved. Reliable, communicative, and flexible—I treat your pets like my own! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or snuggles, I’m happy to build my day around keeping your pet happy and cared for. I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep pets safe and secure, and make sure their routine stays consistent to reduce stress. I’m reliable, tidy, and always communicate clearly, so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.
About: Hello, my name is Erik. I'm a true dog lover who has been dog walking/pet sitting for over 15 years. I grew up here in New Orleans, and after being gone for several years I have returned home. I have a special connection with dogs and I love spending lots of time with them at the park playing ball, going on long walks, or just laying on the floor with them giving belly rubs . I know dogs are a special part of your family and finding someone who can take care of them is challenging. For that reason, I do my best to make them feel comfortable and treat them as if they were mine. I am a real estate agent here in the greater New Orleans area, and so I am usually out-and-about with clients during the day; for that reason, I am available most any day during the week while you are at work. I can also do afternoon, evening & overnight visits. I also like to spend about 30-45 minutes with each pet, so that they get the exercise they need during the day. I look forward to taking care of you furry baby! :)
About: From Great Danes to tabby cats and farm friends, I’ve been caring for animals as long as I can remember. Most recently I’ve been my friends and family’s go-to pet sitter and walker. I’m experienced with elderly and disabled dogs, as well as caring for pets with specific dietary and other medical needs (including the extremely anxious). I’m a full time remote worker with total control over my schedule so I’m very flexible. I am pretty active and enjoy at least one walk per day, I can often be seen walking my own pup around my neighborhood or local trails. I am a very attentive pet parent and prefer to break up time spent between socialization and activity, general care (food, cleaning, etc), walks and calming time. I prefer not to spend much time around others homes but mine is pet proof with a large fenced yard, ample cozy space and an easy to reach location

Margaret O.Star Sitter
“Margaret has been a dog border for me many times over the last few years. I recommended she become a rover dog border because she is absolutely the dog whisperer! Whenever my dogs are with her, I feel so secure and can relax while I’m away because she spoils them rotten…which is what I expect for them on their “vacation!” When my dogs realize we’re going to her house they get so excited and bolt right out of the car to her front door before I can even put their leashes on. She is very physically fit and I know my dogs are walked at least three times a day. She has a beautiful walking path near her home and she knows the dogs need that sensory experience. I give her an A+ rating!”
Cozette T.
“Cozette came out last minute for me and did a great job handling Bruce. Highly recommend!”
Hannah W.
“Hannah is a great friend, but more importantly for this testimonial, a loving and responsible caregiver to my dog Archie. Hannah has watched Archie multiple times while we have gone on vacation, and she is always very tentative to his needs and ensuring his routine is not too interrupted. She loves and cares for Archie like one of her own pets, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. In addition, while staying at our house, she was clean and kept the house in order while we were away. I am very thankful for all Hannah has done for us, and leaving Archie with her definitely takes the stress away of leaving your pet behind.”
Miles E.
“Miles is the kind of dog sitter every pet parent dreams of—attentive, compassionate, and genuinely passionate about animals. His natural ability to connect with dogs ensures that each pup feels safe, loved, and right at home in his care. Miles goes above and beyond with thoughtful updates and personalized attention, making sure every dog’s unique needs are met. With his warm personality and commitment to exceptional service, you can trust that your furry friend will be in the best hands possible.”
Heather S.
“Heather is a loving and incredibly responsible caregiver. Her affection for both cats and dogs is clear, and I’ve seen her care for each with such grace and compassion. She has looked after our three cats, our dog, and even our hamster—and she’s always been wonderful with them. Heather is trustworthy, dependable, and truly passionate about animal care. She has a natural warmth that animals seem to sense, and they’re always comfortable and at ease around her. I can’t recommend her enough!”

Jasmin L.
“Jasmin was the first dog mom I connected with when I first adopted my dog Cassie seven years ago. She helped take care of her and gently introduced her to her own dog resulting in Cassie becoming far less fearful of other dogs. Jasmin is incredibly caring with animals and people and I have absolute trust in her with my animals.”
Cindy O.Star Sitter
“Cindy is an excellent dog sitter. Over the last ten years, she has cared for our dog, Lindsey. Either for a short weekend, or for an extended vacation my husband and went on. We had no worries knowing he was in good hands. Cindy lives alone and has no pets of her own because she does go out of town occasionally. She has a doggy door in her kitchen which allows Lindsey to go to her huge fenced-in back yard carpeted with St. Augustine grass. Cindy is trustworthy and reliable. Dogs don't lie, and if they like you, you know it. Cindy loves my Lindsey, and he loves her too. If Cindy is available, you would be blessed for her to care for your dog.”

“Darius is an incredible animal caregiver and dog parent. He is always finding new ways to give his Great Dane pup the most enriching and joyful life pawsible. He loves taking her for nature walks, playing tag and tug of war, taking care of her hygiene, and training her on good puppy manners. He’s raised and cared for many dogs throughout his life and always does whatever he can to ensure his pups are safe, healthy, and having fun.”
McDonogh dog parents share their Rover experiences
Leora was so wonderful with Jess, who can be high energy and is generally extra excited to explore the world outside. Leora took her time to say hello for as long as Jess needed and it seemed like they had the most wonderful time together. Will definitely book again! Thank you!
We brought our dogs down for the first and needed a last minute sitter. Sherryanne was quick to respond and so easy to work with. She also did a meet and greet before we started the dog walk sessions to get familiar with the dogs. Highly recommend leaving your pups in her care.
Joey and Bodhi made an awesome duo! Joey is prompt, positive, a true dog lover, and an awesome communicator. He took Bodhi all over the city, showing him new sights and setting the bar high for any future sitter. It’s clear Bodhi misses him—he was such a great influence and brought out the best in my pup. It would be an honor to work with Joey again. Highly recommend!
I’m so happy to have Lily as an occasional walker for my Luna! We did a meet & greet before our first walk and Luna took to Lily right away, and seems really comfortable and happy with her overall. Lily has been great with communication and timeliness, and I trust her to treat my dog & home like her own. Thanks, Lily!
