“Mimi did an absolutely incredible job during drop in visits to our house. It was the first time our dog had been left home alone, and it went wonderfully!!! Mimi provided lots of photos and followed the provided instructions. Very very friendly and put our mind at ease while being away for the weekend. Highly recommend Mimi and will definitely be using her again! A+++++ We have cameras in the home and could see how happy our girls were to see Mimi every time. Thank you!!!”

“Bianca was extremely communicative and attentive to our cats’ needs. She gave them lots of love and affection and shared detailed updates along the way. I would be happy to leave my pets in her care any day.”

“Danielle watched our dog Finley while we were away on spring break. We both felt immediately comfortable with her on our first visit. He was very well cared for. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”

“Eliza was great, it was comforting to know she was caring for our cats while away. She followed all instructions and communicated effectively. Highly recommend!”

About: What Sets Me Apart I’ve been caring for animals since I was young, and that early connection has grown into a lifelong passion. What sets me apart from other pet sitters is the genuine love I have for all animals — no matter the size, breed, or species. I don’t just “watch” pets; I bond with them, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful pup, a shy cat, or something a little more exotic, I bring patience, attention, and heart to every visit. With me, your pet isn’t just looked after — they’re truly cared for like family. How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’m in school just twice a week for about an hour and a half, which leaves me plenty of time and flexibility to care for pets during the day. I work in the service industry mostly on weekends and occasionally during the week, so I carefully schedule pet visits around my shifts to ensure each pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Your pet’s well-being is always a top priority in my schedule. How I Care for Pets in Their Home When caring for a pet in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles — and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I also keep the home tidy and provide regular updates, so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“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.”


About: I’ve always lived with dogs! Growing up, I was constantly tagged to care for neighbor’s pets while they were out of town. Even now, my friends and their parents know I’m the first one willing to step up and petsit. I have basic experience with leash training young dogs, as well as encouraging stiff seniors to get some exercise. I work full time during the weekdays, but I’m available most evenings and excited to get out of the house. My weekends are almost always open to spend time with your dog! Pet safety is my top priority. I never walk dogs along busy streets, or where there isn’t enough shoulder to feel safe. I also do not allow my dogs to interact with others on leash, since this can be unpredictable. I’m not afraid to cross the street (safely!) to avoid a meeting.
“Great job, Cody! We felt perfectly at ease leaving our precious "girls" with you! Thank you for your attention to detail and attentiveness, they were extremely well cared for.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life growing up! I got my first on cat (Katniss) as a freshman in college, and she is now 12 years old and thriving well! I got my first dog (Albus) the next year and he is a 106 pounds black lab who is also doing very well. I am a teacher so I am off from June-July 20 all day, every day. I can show up on short notice and stay for extended periods if needed! My schedule for the next 2 months is extremely flexible, and I’m willing to work with your schedule as well! I have a dog and a cat of my own, so I’m very experienced caring for multiple pets in a home environment. I have a condo in Metairie a block from the levee where I can take a dog on a good walk, and my parents house in mandeville with a fenced yard where pets can safely play and get fresh air. I can easily crate your dog or cat if needed, follow any specific feeding, medication, or routine instructions, and provide plenty of love, attention, and enrichment. Whether the service is at my home or yours, my goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
“Elise is truly a gem! She cared for our two cats, Thor and Freya, this April and once again delivered such a comforting, reliable experience. Her Rover cards were thoughtful and full of adorable photos that showed just how relaxed and happy the cats were in her care. It gave me so much peace of mind to see them playing, lounging, and clearly feeling safe with her. Elise is consistent, communicative, and brings a calm energy our cats absolutely love. I’m always grateful to have her as a sitter — she’s someone I trust completely.”

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!
“Natalie was amazing! Had a last minute trip planned and she was available to check on my cat. She was very good with him and kept me updated when she dropped by! Came home to a happy cat :) Would book her any time I need a pet sitter!”


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.
“Stacy and Patrick came over twice to take care of our pup, Maka, while we were gone for a night. When we met them before booking, they were very receptive to everything we went over with them from quirks with our house to quirks with our dog! Maka also liked them both right away which is what we cared about most because it is very rare that we use dog sitter services and she can be a bit hesitant with strangers. Everything went very smoothly and I'll definitely reach out to them again if we need a sitter!”

About: Hi, I’m Cat – a dependable, animal-loving pet sitter you can trust! With years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I bring a calm, friendly presence to every visit.

Whether your furry friend is a high-energy puppy, a cuddly kitten, or a sweet senior needing medication, I’m here to provide loving, attentive care. I offer drop-ins, dog walking, and in-home sitting, and I always tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs. From playtime and snuggles to medications and mealtime routines, your pet will be treated like family while you’re away. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your pets! I currently have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to walk dogs in the mornings as early as 7am, and as late as 10pm in the evenings. On the weekends, I have open availability. I will provide a peaceful, loving presence to your fur babies. Please provide detail's about your pet's routine so I can provide them with the best and most familiar care.

Metairie dog parents share their Rover experiences
We feel so lucky to have had found Mimi!!! We were an entire ocean away and felt very relaxed with Mimi taking care of the dogs. I especially appreciated her communication throughout the time! She is officially our go-to when in need of some help with the dogs.

Jessica was amazing. It was my first time using Rover so I was little nervous at first but no need to be. She was on time every time visit, she communicated very well and seemed to really like what she does. My dog really warmed up to her and quickly. She provided pictures each time and did more then just let him out and leave. Will definitely be using her again!

It was a wonderful experience having Karen walk my dog. She was great and trustworthy.she sent me pictures and videos on their walk which I was so happy to see. She was patient and spent extra time with my dog so he was comfortable since it was their first time. Will definitely be using her again in the future.

Olivia is a wonderful pet sitter! She took very good care if my puppy Vienna! She was on time for drop ins and stayed to play with her, giving her full attention. She also was consistent with sending pics and updates! Would highly recommend her and will use her again!
