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.
About: Hi! My name is Lily, and I am an incoming college student with a very flexible schedule during the summer. I have previously owned two dogs and have always enjoyed being around animals. While I don’t currently own any pets, I am the oldest of five children and have years of experience caring for children ages 1–12, which has given me responsibility and attention to detail. I am active, dependable, and happy to follow detailed instructions to ensure your pet’s safety. I enjoy being outdoors and would love to spend time walking and caring for your pets. I am currently free for the summer and have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets. I am available most weekdays and can often accommodate weekends as well. I will always follow your pet’s care instructions closely to help them feel comfortable and safe. I understand the importance of keeping pets secure, providing fresh food and water, ensuring they get exercise and attention, and keeping owners updated while they are away. I am respectful of clients’ homes and committed to creating a safe environment for your pets.
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Sarah was awesome! She did drop in visits for our 3 cats. One of which is very shy, another very friendly and the baby very feisty! The boys like to be outside and they both came right to her every time! Even my shy girl came out and was sociable with Sarah! Sarah took photos and sent updates during every visit and went the extra mile to wash food dishes when they were thru eating! Highly recommend Sarah to care for your pet!”
“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.”
“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.”
“Ethan is such caring and attentive pet sitter. He really went above and beyond during his time with Penny and really made me feel at ease during his visit. We will definitely be booking again and recommending to others!”
“Cristina was wonderful!!! She took care of our sweet fur baby for two weeks while we were on our honeymoon. Even across the world she made us feel at ease leaving our baby for so long. We couldn’t recommend her enough!!”
About: I have a calm demeanor that appeals to all sorts of animal personalities. In the past i’ve volunteered with Zues' Rescue and I’m generally the go to pet care friend :) I’m a school counselor, so during the school year I am available after school and on weekends. During the summer, I am available 24/7. I can make exceptions if I am on PTO, holidays, etc. I make sure to observe an animals natural routine. Where they like their toys to be, their food dishes, etc. I am especially understanding of animals who may have experienced trauma and have triggers; I make sure to meet them at their level when I approach, speak quietly, etc.
“E took great care of my cats, was communicative, and even got my shy cat to come out of hiding, which made me feel like I could really enjoy my vacation time. I highly recommend E!”
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: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I’ve been a cat owner for over five years and have cared for my dog for the past three years, so I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, medication, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I believe in keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care, especially during the early mornings and afternoons. I enjoy building pet visits into my daily routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. I make it a priority to be dependable, follow each pet’s routine closely, and provide consistent, attentive care so they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away. I care for pets in both my own home and clients’ homes by prioritizing familiarity, routine, and comfort. In a client’s home, I follow their established schedule as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, litter box care, play, and any medications—so pets can stay relaxed in their familiar environment. I keep things calm, clean, and consistent, and I always respect the home as if it were my own. When caring for pets in my own home, I create a safe, quiet, and supervised environment where they can feel settled and secure. I maintain structured routines for feeding, enrichment, and rest, and I ensure they have plenty of attention and stimulation based on their personality and needs. In both settings, I focus on reducing stress, building trust, and making sure each pet feels cared for, safe, and understood.
“Ebony is so rare. They update and take care of your dog and cat like they were their own. I’m so grateful to have someone get to know my dog’s personality and be patient with them while I was away. It makes travel and being away more enjoyable knowing they are in good hands. Appreciate it more than you know. Mary Louise”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Metairie
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.
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Metairie stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Metairie choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Metairie with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
