About: I've had 2 cats for the past 7 years, and I grew up with dogs. I love animals. I just recently graduated from Loyola Law, so I'm here to care for pets for the rest of the year as I'm waiting on exam scores and preparing to move :) I just recently graduated from Loyola Law, and took my bar exam in July. For now I'm waiting on my results and preparing for a move to California early next year. Caring for pets helps me make some extra money and have fun before I have to buckle down and practice law! I have the most experience with cats, as I have two. I also grew up with dogs and love to go on walks. For drop-in visits, I'll love to keep your babies company and give them some play time! For walks, I'll pack on the sunscreen and go on a stroll!
“Our dog absolutely loved her walks with Olivia. I was very nervous to have someone walk our dog while out of town but Olivia was able to come for a meet-n-greet before we left. Our dog immediately took her, which was a relief. She sent us pictures through the app for every visit! Highly recommend Olivia and will be reaching out if we need her again!”
“Elizabeth was a fantastic babysitter our big golden retriever pup while we were out of town. She was in constant contact with us, sent plenty of pictures and updates about their romps, meal breaks, water breaks etc. And she kept the house spotless. I will most definitely use her services again. Thanks Elizabeth!”

About: I have always lived with dogs since I was a small child. The last 8 years I have been house/dog sitting for a retired couple with multiple dogs. This past May I lost my 16 year old rat terrier- broke my heart. Shortly after a relative asked me to keep his chocolate lab for a week and I loved it. I miss having a dog at the house! I work full time currently from home until COVID pandemic is over. My office is 10 minutes away from home- lunch visits to the house would be made on days needed. I own my own home with a fenced in yard next door to a empty lot. I have no children do it would be just me at the house.
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.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a kid, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with senior and younger pets. I cared for my own dog in her later years when she developed back leg problems. I helped her move around the house, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her lots of love and patience every day. I additionally took care of my other dog in her early months waking up multiple times nightly to calm her down. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m confident in handling all kinds of needs. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, so I’m able to care for pets whenever needed. Pet care easily fits my routine, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pets specific needs and schedule.your pets comfort and routine will always come first. I believe pets are most comfortable and relaxed in their own home, which is why I only offer care in the clients space. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect in return. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
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.

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.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs since I was about the age of 10. I’ve always been an animal lover and knew since a young age that I wanted to turn my love for animals into a career. I currently volunteer at an animal shelter where I also became a foster momma. I have experience in housing sick, and scared animals who are in need of socialization. With having a love and passion for animals for over a decade, I’ve decided to peruse a career in the veterinary medicine field. I promise your fur baby will be in good hands! I am partaking in Rover part-time so caring and loving your fur babies while you are away is my top priority! It is not a job but instead a passion of mine, needless to say, your baby is in good hands! I believe the best way to care for your pets within your own home is by having great communication with you, an abundance of compassion for your pet and how they may feel while you are away and great attention to detail.
About: Over the past year and a half, I’ve fostered multiple dogs and cats through Palm Beach Animal Care and Control and Peggy Adams, along with participating in many doggy day out programs. This has given me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits really well into my daily routine. I’m flexible and able to plan my schedule around walks, feedings, and check-ins.

Whether it’s early mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I’m reliable and make sure every pet gets the attention and care they need. I prioritize safety and comfort above everything. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions you provide. I keep a clean and secure environment, stay attentive to their behavior, and make sure they feel calm and safe at all times. I’m respectful of your home and will keep you updated so you always know your pet is in good hands.
“Julia was wonderful when caring for our dog Freya! Our girl is very shy and nervous around strangers and Julia helped her to feel more comfortable and less anxious. I appreciated the updates of how Freya was doing as well as the adorable pictures she sent! I will definitely recommend Julia to our friends and family and anyone in need of a reliable and professional pet sitter.”
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.

Anne has been walking our dog, Nasa, and she has been wonderful! She is attentive to his needs, patient, and communicates very well, always keeping us updated. We feel completely comfortable knowing he’s in such great hands. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker! 🐾😊
Mallory was great and most importantly, my dog thought so too! We were visiting New Orleans from out of town and a bit leary about leaving our boxer in a strange place with strange people. Mallory responded quickly to my somewhat last minute request for a 3 day dog walking booking during jazz fest. She even came for a pre-visit meet and greet. She sent us photos and updates of her visits, and offered flexibility on her times. This is my first time using Rover and Mallory made it an amazing experience. I would absolutely call her again and again and again! 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 5/5 PAW Rating!
I had a great experience Sara. She was punctual and communicated really well, so I always knew what was going on. Also, she took amazing photos like seriously, the pictures were so good I couldn’t believe it. My dog absolutely loved her and now she’s basically my dog’s new best friend. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, friendly, and genuinely good with dogs.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Metairie. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Metairie.

Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Metairie. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
