“Lele is always so nice to send us updates on our kitty boys. They are very “stranger danger” and rarely come out when she arrives for her visit but it gives me peace of mind to know that someone is checking on them.”
“Jailah was incredible! She helped me when I made several errors making my first booking. She sent great pics and was great with the dogs! Definitely will book again:).”
“Sage claimed he didn’t have any experience with cats but he took care of Sophie without a hitch. He is courteous, punctual and dependable and provided all the care and nurturing she needed. His report cards showed a contented cat, and he was considerate in keeping our home neat. We will gladly ask Sage to come care for Sophie in the future.”
“Devin was a life saver! Excellent communication and was very accommodating. Fantastic with our girls, who can be a handful when they are excited. They adored him from the very first meeting.”
“This is the second time Deana has watched my kitty. Just as good as the first time. He was very happy and well kept after. Deana was very thorough with lots of good pics and lots of information to let me know how he was. She’s a gem!!!”
About: Growing up with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs, I have a wide array of pet care experience for animal friends large and small. Frequent dogwalker and pet-sitter with extensive knowledge of care practices. I am a remote worker and student in my day-to-day life, so I can frequently care for pets in my off-time in between classes and while working at home. I will be open in my communication about any issues or special needs that pets will need and trust that clients will communicate any special needs to me.
“We highly recommend Caitlin. She took care of our cat Dexter for 4 days over Thanksgiving. She provided detailed reports, adorable photos, and videos. Although we always worry about our little guy, Caitlin put us at ease. When we got back, Dexter seemed so happy and well-cared for. A true gem of a sitter.”
“We always love Keyona and this time we hired her to take our dog Lucy for three weeks while we were away. She was so flexible and accommodating, and she's the only one we'd trust to take our fur baby for that long. She acted very responsibly when she noticed Lucy was itchy. We always miss Lucy while we're away but Keyona sends pictures and let's us know how she's doing. It was so clear how much our dog loves Keyona when I picked her up and she didn't want to leave. We highly recommend Keyona!!”
“He has watched my puppy twice now and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. He goes above and beyond what is requested to ensure that everything goes smoothly. He was very communicative and I look forward to continue booking with him in the future.”
About: Hello! I have been a pet owner, caretaker, and lover for the majority of my life, but really began my professional career as a Pet Sitter when I left home for college and didn't have any furry friends in my dorm room. I've worked with every type of dog, fromteacup Pomeranians all the way up to Great Pyrenees and I've never met a dog I didn't love. I have experience administering medications, helping dogs with handicaps, behavioral issues, and everything in between. I love to have an excuse to get outdoors and go on adventures, so I bet your fur baby will even miss you while you're away! I am happy to do overnights in your home or to host your pet at my place, where I have 2 dogs of my own who LOVE to have sleepovers with new friends. Let me know what I can help you with! I work a 9-5, but have a hybrid model, so I can work remotely while I watch your pets if needed! My schedule is very flexible and I can meet most requests, especially Wednesday - Sunday. I will always take care of your pet and your home like it is my own, if not even better! I always follow the golden rule and leave things better than I found them if possible.
“Chloe was wonderful! She was quick to respond to messages, arrived on time, was so caring and sweet to our puppy, and respectful of our space! I would absolutely recommend her and would book again without any hesitation! Thank you Chloe for keeping our pup company and giving her lots of love!”
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!
“Arises was so helpful and caring with our two cats while we were out of town. She interacted with them (as much as they would allow) and made sure their needs were met. Would not hesitate to have her take care of them again!”
About: I have taken care of many pets in New York and am now available in New Orleans for dog walks and dog/cat drop ins! Very excited to explore with your pet. I am self-employed so have a decent amount of flexibility in my schedule but have my own cat so not able to board / long stays. It's important to make the animals comfortable which takes time and calm -- but I like to follow routines and give pets (if able) lots of exercise.
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!
About: My little pal from my profile picture, Jake, has moved out and I miss the joy of having a pup around so I would love to care for your pal. I have plenty of experience caring for both my own dogs, as well as foster dogs and those of friends and family. My mom actually has 8 dogs that I help care for when she needs a helping hand. I have a very flexible schedule and work from home sometimes, so I will be available for midday walks or home visits. My availability is open for walks, home visits, and overnight care. I look forward to meeting you and your four legged pals! My schedule is very flexible and usually under 30 hours a week, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with some four legged friends! My home is a condo with a fenced area in a very dog friendly neighborhood in the city. I’ll mention that there stairs as well in case there are any pets that can’t make that climb. However, they are good for playing with high energy dogs. I enjoy snuggling and walking.

Shelby R.
“Shelby took such excellent, loving care of my pets while I was out of town. I have an 80lb reactive dog who has a LOT of energy and strength, and it was obvious that this was not the first challenging dog she’s worked with and handled with ease. I’m not a person who feels like I need any photos while I’m out of town but Shelby sent them anyway, which was such a happy surprise each time. My pets were all happy upon my return, which meant a lot to me, as I’ve seen my cat stressed in the past under a different caretaker. I feel at such ease knowing I now have Shelby to trust with my babies :)”

Da'Miya M.
“Since I have known Miya, she has always been a caring, compassionate, and responsible person. All the times she has watched my cat, she has gone above and beyond to make Shiloh comfortable and happy. She followed my schedule and restrictions perfectly, and Miya being detail-oriented helped me relax while I was away. She would be a great pet sitter for Rover!”

Nikoleta T.Star Sitter
“Much appreciated with this same day request”
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!”
Wendy K.
“Wendy is very kind hearted. She has fostered for an SPCA in New Orleans, sat for my son's dog when they went out of town quite a few times. And if I go out of town she will come and care for my animals: 2 donkeys, 5 goats, 6 cats, 9 dogs, and 10 horses. She is very reliable and follows directions well. Some of my horses are on special diet and medications.”
McDonogh pet parents share their Rover experiences
Caitlin did an amazing job checking on my kitty girls! She was super communicative throughout, offered to do a meet and greet with the cats beforehand, asked about feeding routine/favorite toys beforehand, and sent tons of pics from her visits. I will definitely use Caitlin again, thank you!
Samantha is excellent! It was my first time leaving cats for a week and Samantha made it easy for me to be away and not worry. She gave updates twice a day with photos, and patiently answered my text questions. Samantha went above and beyond the required. Great communication skills. Reliable, responsible, and flexible. I highly recommend Samantha!
Enjoying our vacation was easy knowing our baby was in the very capable hands of Camille! She goes above and beyond to make sure our finicky kitty is comfortable, happy, & well taken care of. She’s incredibly professional & the communication is top tier, which is just what we look for in a pet sitter. Our baby boy isn’t always the sweetest to strangers, so we were elated to see how well he got along with Camille. She has a way with animals. We travel often and haven’t lived in the area for long, so we didn’t have any other option than Rover. Our first booking was scary, but we got sooo lucky with Camille. We still feel guilty having to leave behind our baby, but knowing he’s in more than capable hands takes away some of that stress. I would give you 10 stars if I could!
Nikki was wonderful! She was professional, on time for all drop ins, great with using the Rover card and adding pictures of my dog. Nikki even noticed that my senior dog was having some anxiety due to fireworks and gave him his anxiety meds and replaced his potty pads. Highly recommend- will reach out to her again for pet sitting!
Sarah was so good with our cats. She jumped in to help us out last minute. We have three young cats, one of which is really shy but he came out for her during her visits which is always a relief. She’s very friendly and professional, and our cats liked her! We were very pleased with her service. ♥️
