“Laine did everything I asked of her for my kitties in a way that opened my eyes to new methods of expertise. I’d like to give her a high recommendation on her level of care. I knew my kitties (that turn 1 yrs old this month btw) were in great hands. Thank you, Laine 😸”

I have pet sat for years and enjoy providing company and comfort to pets when their owners are away/busy.

I have a well trained and friendly dog and two cats that are super friendly!

During the summer, I take them to the dog park and they absolutely love it. I am a local teacher at an elementary school! I am available every single day, mostly afternoons and nights. During the school day is the only time I’m unavailable! I love playing with dogs and making sure they feel well loved. Crate training and potty training are specialties of mine!

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I love high energy animals and taking care of them. I grew up with a dog and cat I still have and care for and more recently I have been a volunteer at the Humane Society, I even ended up starting my own club of volunteers in high school. This role has equipped me with all sorts of animal care skills such as cleaning after them, bathing them, feeding them and administering medication, and making sure to provide lots of love and attention. I’ve always said that I’m not a dog or cat person when asked, but rather an animal person. I love animals and caring after them. I am a college student at Tulane University and I am currently home for the summer! I am available until June 22nd and have open availability all day every day until then. I have a fenced yard and two pets of my own that are both friendly so I am no stranger to spending time outdoors with animals or having playdates. I am more than happy to take pets to any appointments they may have and am able to administer medication if needed.

“Skyler was great taking care of my cat while away on vacation. She was thorough with feeding and taking care of his litter box. In addition, provided updates/communication throughout the time I was away.”
About: I have volunteered for Zeus's Rescues walking dogs for three years. I previously owned two shetland sheepdogs for several years! There is nothing, absolutely nothing, in this world that is better than spoiling a dog or having extended playtime with a dog or pet. I am always reachable, overly communicative, and reliable in an emergency. My schedule is very open right now and I expect to be working part time soon. I look forward to communicating with you and your pet about your schedule and your needs. I can comfortably handle any breed or any size pet! I am offering dog walking, drop in visits for your pet, and house sitting. I am comfortable with and proficient at: measuring and feeding the proper amount of food, making sure your pets stay hydrated, administering the right amount of medication, taking care of your home while you're away, (I'm a homeowner myself,) playing with your pet, tiring out your pet, reducing your pet's stress, giving love and affection to your pet, and taking your pet to the vet in the event of an emergency.
About: Hi! I’m Kaylee, a student at Loyola University New Orleans, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had a variety of pets throughout my life, including dogs and cats. I have over 4 years of experience caring for animals and officially began offering pet-sitting services through Rover this summer. As a college student, my availability is based around my class schedule, and I’m available to pet sit whenever I don’t have classes. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that gives your pet the attention and care they need while you’re away! I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting throughout the New Orleans area. I care for pets of all personalities and make sure their individual routines, feeding instructions, walks, playtime, and other needs are followed closely! As a student at Loyola University New Orleans, I structure my daily routine around pet care visits, walks, and house sitting. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate specific times throughout the morning, midday, afternoon, and evening for drop-ins and walks. For house sitting, I base myself directly at your home to ensure consistent supervision, evening companionship, and adherence to your pet’s exact routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining their normal environment and daily habits to keep them relaxed and stress-free. I strictly follow all owner instructions, including meal portioning, fresh water refills, walking routes, and medication schedules. I keep living areas clean, secure the home upon entry and exit, and send clear photo and text updates during every visit so you always have full peace of mind.
About: Hello, my name is baylee and I’m an incoming medical student heading to Knoxville in July. I have had multiple pets throughout my life, gaining lots of experience and knowledge about different types of animals. Mainly having dogs, parakeets, and cats, I am open to caring for other animals as well. I am very gentle towards animals and gladly give them the love and care they deserve in order to make them feel comfortable. I am open to drop in visits, walks, and over night stays. During my high school career, I volunteered at local animal shelters, helping take care of the animals there. I also have experience pet sitting dogs (from family members to friends). I do have a full time job, but will be opened to full time sitting and walking starting mid June. I am currently working full time and have a dog at home. My schedule is flexible if bookings are booked ahead of time (at least 2-3 day notice). When pet sitting in a clients home I am very respectful of the space and love to spend quality time with the pet I am taking care of. I am a trustworthy person and will complete the tasks that are required to care for your pet.
“This is our second time booking Kayla. She was able to take wonderful care of our 2 cats while we were away for our honeymoon for 3 weeks. Although we hadn’t been away from the cats for such an extended period of time before, Kayla’s twice daily updates kept us at ease the entire time we were gone. We knew our boys were being well taken care of during our absence. She always goes above and beyond to tidy up our apartment before our return, and we would happily book her again!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Metairie
Ethan came over as promised and gave my outdoor kitty his food and water. My ozzie is shy so didn't show up until the night I returned from my trip. But I know he's at neighbor's house and yard. I really appreciate the pictures that Ethan sent me and he took care of my mail too.
I highly recommend Elizabeth as a pet sitter. She was so sweet to my cat Kiki and cared for her as if she were her own. She played with her just as I asked her to and did everything else I asked her to. She is so nice and I trust her. She is my first choice for any pet sitting needs in the future. With her my mind is at peace and i know Kiki will be just fine. Thanks again Elizabeth. I hope you'll be able to pet sit Kiki again.
Piper went above and beyond to make sure my pet was well taken care of. She is exceptional and really makes sure they feel happy and safe! She also sometimes stays a bit longer than what is expected and is available short-notice and never makes you feel like a bother. Absolutely awesome! 🤩
Laine did everything I asked of her for my kitties in a way that opened my eyes to new methods of expertise. I’d like to give her a high recommendation on her level of care. I knew my kitties (that turn 1 yrs old this month btw) were in great hands. Thank you, Laine 😸
We had such an amazing experience with Olivia while we were away on our honeymoon! She was incredible with administering our cat’s daily eye medication and spent so much time playing with and loving on our fur baby while we were gone. The daily report cards and photos gave us so much peace of mind and truly reassured us that our cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for back at home. We are so grateful for the attention, communication, and care she provided and would absolutely book with her again!

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care 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.
