“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 😸”

“Bianca was great! She made a real effort with my kitties while I was gone for about 2 weeks. They played a lot, loved getting brushed and got many treats. Bianca left my house clean, all litter changed and swept up. During the visit, our keypad battery started giving a "low battery signal," Bianca let us know, and offered to change it. I provided directions and she was able to figure it out seemslely and change the batteries at the next visit to prevent any distribution to kitty care. She watered our plants, too! Would recommend Bianca for your cat sitting needs.”

“Jenifer took such great care of our 2 cats! She was attentive, affectionate, and patient with them, as they can be demanding when it comes to feeding. Our cats are high maintenance and have to be fed 3 times a day at specific times, including an early 6:30 am, and she kindly fed them at their specified times. She also sent frequent updates and pictures, which I really appreciated. She’s also such a sweet person. I highly recommend her!”

“Faith took great care of my two senior cats while I was away. She also brought in mail/packages and provided great communication. I would not hesitate to use her again!”

About: I am My family had had dogs since I was a kid and I have been incredibly active in taking care of all of them. I’m currently taking the prerequisites for the vet-tech program at Delgado and I have over 6 months of experience as a kennel tech at a veterinary hospital. I’m experienced with taking care of all varieties of dogs and cats as well as administering needed medications. Additionally, I have my own dog, a 1 year old doodle who’s been with me since she was 8 weeks old. NOTE: I can only take dogs up to 70 lbs due to the size of my space I am currently a student at Delgado, and I am free in the mornings before 9, and after 12/1 depending on the day. My schedule stays pretty consistent but I’m good with making adjustments. I live alone off Broadway by Tulane in a duplex. I’m right across the street from Luca Eats (dog friendly breakfast place) and I have a small grass area next to my back patio for my dog to go to the bathroom.
“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’ve taken care of animals since I was almost old enough to walk. I majored in Biology at Loyola and also work with a local animal rescue! I’ve always had animals in the house, and have three cats. I help bathe, feed, and walk my parent’s dogs almost every day when I go visit them. 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! I love to go on long walks too.
“Deana D. was absolutely amazing!!!! Right from the start you could tell that she absolutely loves animals and has a broad depth of knowledge as to how to keep them healthy and happy! She knows what has to be done to make the sitting experience run smoothly, and is communicative and helpful in every aspect of the booking and sitting. We could not be more pleased and will absolutely recommended her and use her again!”

“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: Hi! I’m a professional dog trainer with a lifelong passion for animals. Before working with dogs, I spent 5 years as a marine mammal trainer, where I specialized in positive reinforcement training, animal behavior, and building strong relationships through trust and communication. Today, I work full-time as a professional dog trainer, helping dogs of all ages and personalities—including reactive dogs—build confidence and learn the skills they need to thrive. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I’m committed to providing safe, compassionate, and individualized care. At home, I have two wonderful dogs and two cats, so I understand the importance of finding someone you can trust with your furry family members. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. When I’m not training dogs professionally, I’d love the opportunity to provide exceptional care for your pets. As someone who has dedicated my career to animal training and behavior, you can trust that your furry family members will be treated with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I give my own. I care for every pet as if they were my own. At home, I have two dogs and two cats, so I understand how important routine, patience, and individualized care are. With years of professional animal training experience, I’m very comfortable following strict feeding, medication, potty, and exercise schedules to ensure your pets stay happy, healthy, and comfortable while you’re away.

About: I've grown up with dogs. I helped care for my family dog from childhood until moving out after college. While living with my father and step mother in between college and medical school I helped care for their family dog. I took them for walks, fed them, provided water, and cleaned up after them as my step mom's dog sometimes had stomach issues. I've also pet sat my little sister's dog, who also needed to take vitamins and antibiotics at night and needed eye creams. I am currently a 4th year medical student who spends most of her free time outside of the hospital studying. Having the opportunity to go for a daily walk outside could easily fit anywhere in my weekend routine, as well as an evening or early morning walk on weekdays. I would love the opportunity to get some sunlight and fresh air while providing that for your dogs as well. Pet sitting in the evenings, over night or on weekends can also seamlessly fit my schedule. I can easily come by after coming home from the hospital to provide your pup with food, water, and a walk outside before we settle down to study, and take some breaks to play with dog toys or nap, or however your pup wants to spend our time together. I don't currently have a pet where I live currently, my dog lives back home with my father and step mother. While I lived with them, I would feed our dog in the morning then let him out into our back patio/yard to pee and poop and get some fresh air, and we would do the same at night. He also enjoyed sitting outside with me when I would take a break from studying, but I always kept an eye out for any signs that he'd been sitting out in the sun for a while and would make sure he'd go back inside and get some cool air and water. I would also take him on a walk either in the morning or in the evening. In your home, if you have a preference on when, where, and how you want these things to happen I will follow them. Otherwise I would take the approach of feeding them in the morning and at night, taking them for a walk or a short trip outside to pee and poop, and make sure they have water. If you prefer your pet be placed in their crate before I leave I will do that as well.
About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, focusing on daily walks and overnight care. For the past 5 years, I have raised my own gentle pup, Poopoo, who is well-trained and keeps me experienced in consistent walking, feeding, and providing comfort at night. Before that, I spent 2 years in Korea helping my family raise another dog, giving me a strong background in handling different breeds and personalities. I also have 2 cats at home who are very friendly with other pets! Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me not only to walk their dogs but also to care for them overnight when they travel. I make sure each dog feels safe and loved—whether it’s long walks for active dogs, gentle care for seniors, or overnight stays where they get the comfort of a steady routine. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to dog walks and overnight care. I usually work part-time, so I’m available for morning and evening walks on weekdays, as well as extended overnight stays when you need to travel. On weekends, I can offer even more flexible availability for boarding and longer walks, making sure your pup gets the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I live in a pet-friendly environment with a calm, well-trained dog who is used to other pets. I make sure walks are always safe—using secure leashes and keeping a close eye on surroundings. For overnight care, I provide a quiet and comfortable space where your pup can feel at ease, and I always follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, routines, and any special needs.
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.
About: Hi! As a dog mom of 2 and cat mom to 1, I am used to walking, feeding, and playing with fur babies. Cuddles and play time are my specialty! Whether you have a puppy or senior dog, I will make sure your pets are well taken care of and treat them as if they were my own. I love to send photo updates of your fur babies so you have peace of mind that they are happy and well cared for.

I’m mindful of your privacy and treat your home with care, so you can return to happy pets and a space just as you left it.
About: I've always loved animals and am naturally compassionate. While growing up my family had a small breed dog, and I personally owned hamsters and fish which I was the sole caretaker of.

I am adaptable and am confident in my ability to provide competent care for a wide variety of species. I am available for house sitting any days of the week, and available for drop-ins and walks after 5pm Mon-Fri and all throughout weekend days.

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.

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!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Metairie is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $30 per visit. 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
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.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 Meet & Greet.

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.
