“This was our 1st time using Rover and Randy. We are very pleased with the overall experience. Randy was Great from the quick response to our request for service to the communication before the service began and throughout Jazzy’s stay with him. He sent pictures several times where it was clearly seen Jazzy felt very comfortable with him. We will definitely love to use his service again and will be sure to refer friends and family to him .”
“María was an excellent sitter for Toby :) he was well cared for and a happy pup when I came to pick him up. I will definitely use Maria again when I come back to New Orleans. Thank you for taking care of Toby.”
“Stacy is a wonderful pet sitter. As a dog mom, I always feel at peace knowing Valentina is safe under Stacy’s care. Thank you again for another great experience Stacy!”
“Potato loves Miss Natalie and gets lots of snuggles, walks, and attention the whole visit. She is a pampered pooch in her care! We love that our dog is treated so well and would reccomend her services to everyone.”
“Lynn takes great care of Freddie with the added benefit that he is the only dog while there! Many videos and pics so we felt connected while away. He is “a lot” sometimes wanting to play constantly however Lynn is up for the challenge! We will call on her service again! Thank you”
“So grateful for Julia and how well she cares for our dog. She regularly sends updates to keep you at ease of mind to know your dog is in great hands. Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Rachel and Michael were wonderful! They took care of Missy over the holidays and clearly gave her a lot of love! They send sweet pictures and or videos daily. They were extremely responsive and reliable. They set up Missy for success by scheduling a meet and greet for our pups before the boarding period. They were also super flexible. My flight back to the city was canceled and I last minute needed an extra day of care for Missy and they accommodated this last minute change which was very kind. Overall, I felt relaxed and reassured in my travels knowing Missy was being cared for by Rachel and Michael!”
“Leaving Bentley with Kate and Conor felt like having a friend take care of him! Bentley was immediately comfortable with them. Kate was attentive to all of Bentley’s care needs. Bentley wasn’t even that excited to see me when I picked him up, which always tells me when he feels right at home with his sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”
“Draco loves going by Ms. Gail. She is awesome. She takes very good care of all the dogs she sits. Also always available when needed, especially for emergencies. I will continue seeing her!”
“Chayanne was amazing! Huey who is normally very shy, instantly felt at home. He had a nice relaxing weekend napping with Missy. Will definitely use again!”

We’d love to welcome your pup into our family and make them feel right at home while you’re away! My husband, David, also supports in caring for your pup!

I work from home three days a week, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day, plus a friendly Goldendoodle to play with. We love pets and will make sure your dog gets lots of love, playtime, cuddles, and care while they’re staying with us. Our home has a fully enclosed yard with plenty of space for dogs to run, play, and get some fresh air. Safety is always our top priority, and we provide a secure, supervised environment where your pup can relax and have fun.
“I really liked how we did a meet and greet before she agreed to watch my dog to make sure our doggos got along. My dog had such a good time playing with her dog Pearl that my dog was exhausted by the time she got home. I also appreciated all the photos and videos she sent.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, caged pets since I was old enough to walk. I have cat, dog, and farm sat for family and friends for years now. I am able to devote lots of time and attention to your pet and I’m excited to get to know their personality, quirks and all! I am very familiar with shy pets that require more patience and with high energy pets that need frequent enrichment and play. I also am great at doing medication routines and taking note of behaviors. I will make sure your pet needs are seen and met. I promise to treat your critter with respect and so so much love! I’m currently in graduate school and I live very close to campus, so I have plenty of time and opportunities to come check in at home and I do a lot of my work remotely already! I am great at morning and evening (even midday) feedings. I love talking walks and I am also very good with needy pets who demand loads of attention. I am also very patient and recognize when pets have lots of boundaries and let them lead the relationship. Weekly, I have 3 classes spread out Tuesday and Thursday, but only 1 for MWF, and my weekends are very available! I have a fenced back yard and a very walkable neighborhood to explore with your pets! I also have a crate for up dogs up to medium size. My household has 3 cats, one of which LOVES dogs (the other two are a bit shy) who would love to play fetch with your pet. We have wood floors and a bed that is open for cuddles and a very cozy couch. I will also take/send pictures of your furry friend for you while you’re away (I know I always miss my friends when I’m out of the house).
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover who will provide enthusiastic and reliable care for your pup! I grew up caring for my family’s dogs, riding horses, and pet sitting for my neighbors’ dogs and cats. Now that I work from home, I have time to give your dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. My fiancé and I have a fenced in backyard where your dog can enjoy outdoor time, and our terrier mix, Clementine, will be happy to make a new friend! I also have experience with senior dogs and understand that older pups may need a little extra comfort and care. Since I work from home, pet care is a part of my daily routine. Your dog will have plenty of company during the day! I’m able to provide potty trips, backyard time, walks, and pets routinely. My dog is absolutely a part of the family, and your pup will be too when they stay with me. Please be detailed with care notes or any special needs as I want your dog to feel at home when they’re with us.
“Anna was wonderfull host! She kept in touch throughout Archie’s stay, but not too much so I was able to enjoy my vacation. I would definitely recommend you trusting Anna with your fur family.”
“My dog had the best time with Evlin. She took him on so many walks and send tons of pictures and updates. I hope that she is available the next time I’m out of town. Thanks Evlin!”
“Pauline was wonderful with Tina! She cared for her as if she was her own. Tina is a senior dog and needs medication. Pauline was great with administering her meds and giving me updates. Our dog also has extreme anxiety and I could tell when I picked her up that she was in a comfortable and safe place the entire time. I highly recommend Pauline!”

Lynn was absolutely amazing with Zeke! ❤️ From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, caring, and communicative. She sent me video updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel connected to Zeke even while I was away. Her thoughtfulness and willingness to keep me updated truly went above and beyond my expectations. It was clear that Lynn genuinely cared about Zeke and wanted to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Finding someone you can fully trust with your fur baby is priceless, and Lynn is exactly that kind of person. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! I would recommend Lynn to absolutely anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loving with their pets. She’s a gem, and I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Lynn, for taking such wonderful care of our Zeke! 🐾❤️
Randy is great with my two dogs! One became ill while In his care & I was out of state- he did a wonderful job of giving meds & keeping my mini poodle feel better. He is always responsive & has a relaxed energy with the dogs. They definitely like being in his care! 5 Stars
Gina was great and gave loving care to Keke.We were gone for over three weeks and she sent plenty of pics.Keke usually comes home stressed after being cared for by others. This time she was a much happier camper.i would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Gina B. She truly cares for your pet.
Our dog can be anxious around other dogs and has had some issues in the past, so we usually look for someone who has no animals of their own and only takes one client at a time. Being a last minute booking, there really wasn't anyone else available so we took a chance with Stella knowing she has a cat and we were unsure of how Obi would do with that. I was honest with Stella about Obi's past and uncertainty about how he would react to a cat, so we arranged a meet up to see how the animals would do. After meeting her and her cat, we both felt comfortable to move forward with the booking. During the the 3 days we were gone, Stella was super responsive and sent regular updates including photos. Although our dog and her cat did not end up being couch cuddlers, they kept a respectful distance and Stella was very observant and responsible, making sure to supervise them and keep everyone happy and safely apart. We would definitely use Stella again! We were able to enjoy our family getaway and not worry about our fur baby. Thank you Stella!
Bernadette has been nothing but wonderful with my beagle. He has severe separation anxiety, and she always takes the time and care to make sure he feels comfortable and at ease. I’ve used her services a couple of times now and will definitely continue to do so. Her communication is excellent—she provides regular updates, photos, and details about Hank’s walks, which gives me great peace of mind while I’m away. I highly recommend Bernadette to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter.
Olena, Anya and Francesca took great care of Lotus! I was sent pictures and videos throughout her stay and she looked very happy and comfortable. I have never seen her actively play with other dogs, but she was having fun with their corgi. I will be booking with them again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Metairie is $32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $50 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 519 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Metairie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Metairie can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Metairie home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Metairie.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Metairie sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in LA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
