About: Family and friends have trusted me to take care of their fur babies and homes while they're away, by keeping up with their pets' routines and caring for them like they're my own. I bring a calming energy that animals easily take to. I currently care for both dogs and cats. I'm currently in between jobs and doing sitting for friends and family. I have a lot of free time around appointments to provide care, check-ins, and sittings for your pets! While caring for pets at a clients home, I ensure that the pets stay on their routine and get lots of love. I provide reliable care for not only pets but also the homes.
“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!”
About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs and cats. I worked in a veterinary office for a couple of years, which gave me hands-on experience and strengthened my passion for pet care. I’d love the opportunity to care for your pets and treat them like family. My dogs consist of the ages of 10,2,and 7 months. My Rosie girl (14) passed recently. I recently retired from my office career, which means I now have plenty of time to give your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve. As a lifelong dog owner, I understand how important it is to follow each pet's routine and respect every owner's instructions. I have senior dogs of my own who require extra patience and specialized care, as well as an energetic 2-year-old dog who keeps me active and reminds me how important playtime and exercise are. Whether your pet needs gentle care, medication, lots of cuddles, or an active play session, I'm happy to provide the individualized attention they need. I will treat your pets as if they were my own with love, patience, and compassion so you can have peace of mind knowing they're in caring and dependable hands. Always willing to give a full report on how they are doing!
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have owned cats, dogs, birds, turtles, fish, and even a bearded dragon. I have experience with house sitting, dog walking, and some boarding, and I've also volunteered at local animal rescues, walking and caring for dogs and cats. As a cat mom to Suki and Sherbert, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and deserves personalized care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I'm happy to adapt to their needs. I've always believed animals have a great sense of character, and I love earning their trust and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I am a full-time remote worker, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets throughout the day. If you're located nearby, I am available for frequent check-ins, feedings, walks, and playtime. If you're farther away, I can often spend my workday at your home, as long as there is internet access, so your pets can have extra companionship and care. I am also available on weekends and happy to accommodate your pet's routine whenever possible. I know that pets feel safest when their routines are maintained, so I prioritize following your instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any specific care needs. I am comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and routines, including crate-trained dogs, high-energy pets, senior pets, and animals who need a little extra patience. I always make sure doors, gates, and surroundings are secure, and I treat your home with the same respect and care that I would want for my own.
“Mitchell was the perfect choice. He kept us updated of every detail with our pups. I highly recommend Mitchell for booking and will for sure share his service with my peers. Thanks again.”
“Elise is great - She willingly came by to meet Maggie in advance of the drop-in visit, was very communicative, and clearly loves dogs :) Will definitely be using her on a regular basis.”
“Caroline is awesome. I will definitely book her again for our future needs. She treated our boy well. I love the daily pupdates and images. I've never seen a bigger smile on his face lol. Thank you Caroline!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so I’m very familiar with all the ups and downs that come with pet care. On top of that, I have experience working as a veterinary assistant where I was in charge of boarding, walking, bathing, and cleaning after all types of animals! I currently work full-time Tuesday through Friday. However, I am completely free on those afternoons and from Friday afternoon through Monday. So if you need an afternoon dog walker or a sitter for a weekend get away, I’m the person for you! I am very open to caring for pets in the way that you would like me to. I’m comfortable with following a strict schedule or making one up for you! I assure that updates such as pictures, videos, and texts will come as often as requested.
“Adam was great with our dog and cat. He made sure to get all the important details on our pets care and made sure they had everything they needed. Our pets were well taken care of while we were gone. Would recommend and plan to use Adam in the future!”
About: I have owned many dogs of different sizes, ages, and breeds. I have a lot of experience with miniature dachshunds, but I have also cared for many rescued dogs of different breeds and sizes. I also have multiple years of experience with senior dog care. I have been a trusted dog sitter off and on for friends and family over the last decade. I am an Emergency Room Nurse. I currently work part-time, which looks like one shift per week. I am free most days of the week. I am a single female with no kids. I have one dog of my own. I have personally cared for small and large dogs as well as dogs that live only outdoors or only indoors. I understand that each pet has different needs, and every home looks different. I am happy to care for any pet as their owner desires.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Metairie
Sarah was great!! This was the second time she watched our pets (1 dog, 2 cats and a fish). She checked in on them multiple times a day, sent us updates, and followed the detailed notes we left her. We felt like they were in such great hands that we could actually enjoy our trip without worrying about if they were getting the care we needed. We'll definitely book Sarah next time we travel!
Mimi was absolutely amazing in taking care of my dogs and cats! She went above and beyond in keeping my informed. She also went out of her way to make my fearful dog feel safe - and they were best friends by the end of the sit! She also handled the medication for my senior dog twice daily. I felt completely comfortable leaving my pets in Mimi's care and I had total peace of mind the entire time. I will definitely book with her again, and I can't recommend her highly enough!
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 .
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 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.
