“Kate did an excellent job of making sure our kitty was well taken care of while we went on a 5-day vacation. She was always happy to answer any questions I had and provided pictures every day to let us know our pet was in good hands. I would definitely hire Kate again for any of my pet sitting needs!”
“Olivia is so great with our cats. We do not have anyone in the area, so it means the world to find someone we can trust our babies with. She is super easy to work with and the animals love her.”
“Carson did a great job of taking care of our 2 kittens while we were out of town for a few days!! She was so flexible and even helped out our friends by watching their kitten (from the same litter) at our house at the same time! I’m so glad they got so much playtime and entertainment, I don’t even think they noticed we were gone!”
“Celeste was so sweet! We felt very comfortable having her watch our cat while we were out of town. She was super accommodating and we loved the photos that she sent us. We will definitely book with Celeste again.”
“Faith was great with my four cats! Even the one who hides all the time she made sure he had his food. Twice a day feedings and litter maintenance. Will for sure request her again!”
“Dani was absolutely wonderful - so kind and caring, and so committed to making my two cats as comfortable and happy as possible in my absence! I feel great knowing that I can leave them in her hands going forward:)”
“Liz went above and beyond while we were out of town to take care of our two cats. I am beyond grateful and will definitely use her again in the future if she’s available!”
“Karen is the best cat sitter we’ve ever had! From the first meet-and-greet, she was warm, reliable, and instantly connected with our cats. She took the time to understand each of their unique personalities and routines, and her daily updates (with adorable photos!) gave us total peace of mind while we were away. When we got home, everything was spotless, and our cats were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved. It’s such a relief knowing we can travel without worrying about them. Karen treats our pets like her own — she’s an absolute gem! We couldn’t recommend her more highly.”
About: I started dog-sitting in college. I've taken care of blind senior dogs, puppies, adult dogs, not to mention guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, turtles...the list goes on!! I work from home, so I can take my laptop anywhere! I do have a strict work schedule, but it doesn't matter where I am. I treat my pets like they're my kids, so your pets would be like my nieces and nephews...lots of fun but I'll give 'em back!! When dog-sitting in your home, I try to leave everything just as you left it.
About: I worked as a full time teacher during the week, but I am a full time pet lover at all other times of the day. I am willing to learn and grow with your pet and their likes and dislikes. I have owned pets all my life, from horses to cats to sheep and pigs, but dogs and I really connect with each other. I am a total dog lover. I have 2 dogs of my own who love to meet and play with other pups. Request any info necessary to increase how comfortable with your dog with me. I look forward to meeting you and your dog whenever you book. Thanks in advance for everything!! Full time dog sitter with other part time work such as dog walking. Working on school as well, so I have time to give the dogs full attention. The dogs I sit have the same things I give my dogs such as treats and comfy spots to sit and nap. I have a porch for playing as well.
“Kendall is a lifesaver. Our 3 dogs love her and she is an absolute professional. She was very prompt, provided detailed updates, and took some really cute pictures of our pups!”
About: I will love and care for your pets like they were my own, creating less stress for you while you are away from home. I am an older, responsible single woman so I can give your pets the full attention they deserve, giving you peace of mind. I am here to help and make pets happy! I have a completely flexible schedule, available when you need me. Pet sitting for your fur babies is my full time job. As long as I do not have another client booked, I can make your schedule work for me. I have a fenced yard and very friendly 7 year old named Laila. I am happy to walk pets any time they need, give out meds, cuddle inside or play tug of war in the yard. I’m happily adaptable to what they need and want with your prior approval of activities.
About: I have had a dog since I was nine, and now I am a cat mom. And I have had experience with house and petting sitting in high school and college. I want to be surrounded by animals again. I currently work a 8-4 job but I can take breaks to go let to doggies out. And I am free most weekends all day. I want to make sure pets feel comfortable in their own home when you are away. To make sure they get all of the love and attention they need. It can be hard on the pet and owner when the owner is away and I want to make sure that the time apart is easy and stress-free for both of you.
About: As a pet sitter and dog owner, I’m intentional about how I care for every pet because they are truly family. Along with my dog experience, I also spent two years cat sitting, providing check-ins, feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and giving comfort and attention. I have experience with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I focus on meeting each one where they are to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’ve owned three dogs and lived with several others, giving me hands-on experience with daily care routines. I’m comfortable feeding, refreshing water, administering medications (pills, ear cleaning, ointments), and providing both short and long walks, along with playtime tailored to your dog’s needs. In my last two years caring for senior dogs, I learned the importance of patience and adaptability—whether that meant slower walks, cleaning up accidents, or providing gentle muscle massages to keep them comfortable. I also have experience recognizing and responding to emergencies, such as reverse sneezing and muscle strains, and I act quickly to seek veterinary care when needed. You can count on me to follow detailed instructions closely and provide thoughtful, reliable care so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I am a full-time graduate student with a flexible schedule outside of my required classes. I am available on weekends, Wednesdays, and Fridays, as well as most mornings and evenings throughout the week. I provide care in my client’s home to keep pets comfortable and stress-free in their routine. I communicate with owners beforehand to understand each pet’s needs and follow all instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, playtime, and clean-up. I adjust to each pet’s behavior and energy level to ensure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: Hi, my name is Kristina! I'm a reliable and caring pet sitter and dog walker with hands-on experience working in busy dog daycare and boarding environments and providing one-on-one pet services. I've worked hands-on with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and needs-whether it's supervising safe group play, providing individualized attention, or handling special care routines. I also raised and cared for two Rottweilers from puppyhood, and they were my WORLD! Unfortunately they have both passed away, Myla just passed away last year at 11 years old, but she enjoyed coming to work with me at the daycare and boarding facilities I worked at. I have not gotten another dog since their passing. I'm comfortable managing feeding schedules, administering detailed care instructions, and ensuring every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. From energetic walks and play sessions to calm cuddle time, I tailor my care to each pet's personality. I also have experience handling high-pressure situations and monitoring for safety. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, play session, extra attention, or a safe and caring sitter, I'm here to help! I'm currently working part-time on a flexible schedule so I can work my other job around my pet care appointments. I am also available for overnight pet sitting stays! I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications—so their day-to-day life stays consistent and stress-free. In your home, I aim to keep your pet relaxed in their familiar environment while also respecting your space and keeping everything clean and tidy. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with regular updates and photos so you can feel at ease!
About: I have a lifetime of experience with my own pets and those of family and friends. I love long walkies, cuddles, and petting sessions, and don't mind preparing special meals, cleaning dishes and litter boxes, and administering medication. I have my own business and set my own hours, so I can flex to prioritize the needs of your furbabes. Early morning and mid-late afternoon generally works best with my schedule. I will come to your home to care for your pets, and my offerings include: walks, feedings, litter box cleanings, keeping food bowls clean, petting sessions, administering medicine, preparing meals for special dietary needs, etc.
About: Since day one, I have loved and taken care of dogs and cats! I currently have a small dog named Rue, but I have lived with up to three large dogs at once. I have pet sat plenty of dogs and cats, and have done overnight stays for several days at a time to tend to other people’s pets. I love going on long walks, playing fetch, and tending to any animal’s needs. I would be more than delighted to meet your fur baby and get to know them to see if we’ll be a good match! I am currently studying for the LSAT and applying for internship opportunities so I have ample time for your pet! I am flexible and willing to wake up early or stay up late if that is what works best for you. I am trustworthy and reliable! Your home and guidelines will be respected and followed, and I will make sure your pet is safe and comfortable at all times. I understand how important pets are to us; | share your love for them equally!

Metairie cat parents share their Rover experiences
Ashley was very professional and kept us updated every day. I appreciated the daily pictures, updates, and kind feedback, as well as her administering her insulin twice daily. I would definitely want Ashley to sit for us the next time we have to go out of town.
I cannot express how grateful I am for Hannah! She came through for me at the very last minute and completely saved the day. From the moment we connected, she was incredibly communicative, kind, and caring. She kept me updated the whole time even while overseas and I could tell she genuinely cared for my cat like her own. I truly appreciate her and will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!!
