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.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have spent the past 12 years raising and caring for dogs of my own. I currently have two dogs: Wrigley, an 8-year-old Aussie, and Nova, a 6-year-old rescue Aussie/Husky mix who is blind and requires medications multiple times a day. Caring for Nova has given me hands-on experience with special-needs dogs, medication schedules, mobility limitations, and the patience and attention they require. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I treat every dog like an individual. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, some extra attention, a consistent routine, or medication, I’m happy to provide dependable, loving care. I’m currently a surgery resident taking a research year (remotely) which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week, with flexibility to accommodate different schedules and routines. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and rest schedule, and I can provide consistent care rather than rushing in and out. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I take safety and trust seriously and will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications, walks, and any house or pet-specific guidelines. My experience caring for Nova, a blind dog who needs medication multiple times a day, has taught me to be attentive to details and proactive about potential safety concerns. I’m comfortable working with dogs who need extra patience, structure, or special accommodations. I’ll treat your home with respect, communicate clearly, and make sure your dog receives the same consistency and care I would want for my own pets.

About: I grew up around dogs and cats and love all furry friends! Love giving pets, scratches, and playing with furry friends. And most importantly… cuddling! I’m currently working on getting my master’s for social work so I only work part time and go to school online. I’m available on weekends and most of the day on Tuesdays and Fridays if I don’t have to drop off/pick up my mom from work. I am very attentive with pets, giving them attention, pets and cuddles. I work with autistic children so my reflexes are quick and I am always paying attention!

“Ashley is wonderful! She is reliable, dependable, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. My dog, Lulu, absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she sees her. It gives me such peace of mind knowing Lulu is in such caring and trustworthy hands. I also love that Lulu always comes home happy, fully exercised, and worn out — which is exactly what she needs! I’m so grateful to have found someone I can completely trust with Lulu. I highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for a wonderful, caring, and reliable dog walker or pet carer!”

About: I grew up on a farm with many pets and dogs. I have cared for dogs that have needed injections, special diets, and that special attention. I do have 2 corgis so for any boarding in my house it is important that your furry best friend likes other dogs and an initial introduction is paramount for a long term stay. I have an enclosed yard and a doggie door. I am more than happy to also care for dog IN YOUR HOME where pups are most comfortable. Love doing walkies and visits. Been caring and loving pets forever. I work for myself and set my own hours as an administrative assistant and a care giver. I have lots of flexibility. I can adjust my schedule as needed. I have a fenced in yard, a doggie door but I am happy to do walking if that is your pets preference. My corgis are great with other dogs in their space.

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and some of the greatest loves of my life have had four paws. I had my sweet cat, Henry, for four wonderful years before he passed away, and for the last three years I helped raise and care for an adorable Goldendoodle who now lives with her other pet parent. I don’t currently have a fur baby of my own, so I genuinely love getting the chance to care for other people’s pets. I’ve also spent years pet sitting for friends and family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave someone you love in another person’s care. I’m affectionate, attentive, dependable, and probably the person who will be talking to your pet like we’re old friends within five minutes. Whether they love long walks, playtime, belly rubs, couch cuddles, or just having a calm human nearby, I’m happy to give them all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I’m a full-time, stay-at-home writer, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your fur baby lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I love having a furry companion join me for my morning and evening walks. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I only board pets from one household at a time, so your fur baby gets plenty of individual attention and a calm, secure environment without unfamiliar pets coming and going. I have a large fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, and I’m also walking distance from a beautiful large park that’s perfect for longer walks and exploring. I have a dog crate available for crate-trained pups, and I’m happy to follow your usual feeding, walking, sleeping, and household routines so your pet feels as comfortable and at home as possible while you’re away.

About: I know firsthand that pets are family—I love my own senior dog, Bleu, with my whole heart, and I will bring that exact same devotion to your furry family members. Having grown up with dogs, cats, and horses my entire life, I am entirely comfortable with all shapes, sizes, and temperaments. I pride myself on being highly reliable, dependable, and flexible. I am fully available during weekends and holidays, making it easy to accommodate your busy schedule and give you total peace of mind while you are away. Every pet has unique needs, and my goal is to make my time with them the absolute best part of their day (my dog and I love our routine!) I believe walks are about more than just exercise. I make sure dogs get to stretch their legs, do their business, and safely explore the world through plenty of sniffing. Thanks to my extensive experience with multiple positive reinforcement and clicker training sessions, I practice calm, reward-based interaction to keep your dog feeling safe and confident. Whether I am visiting a dog or a cat, your pet will get my full, undivided attention. I always make time to play with them using their favorite toys and follow their exact home routine. I work 8am-4pm, Monday through Friday with all federal and state holidays off. I have full availability most weekends and holidays (even during Mardi Gras). I follow all clients’ directions whether entering their home or on walks. I will crate the pet if requested and cleanup any accidents or the litter box. I will always double check that all gates or doors are locked while leaving.

About: I’ve been a dedicated pet owner for several years and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. As a dog and cat mom myself, I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, cleaning litter boxes, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll tailor my care to their unique personality and routine. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I make time each day to ensure pets receive the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, or simply spending quality time with them, I’m committed to keeping pets happy, comfortable, and on their regular routine. I also plan my schedule to be dependable and communicate with owners through updates and photos, so they have peace of mind while they’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their usual routine and giving them plenty of attention, patience, and affection. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get the exercise or playtime they need, and receive lots of companionship. I also keep their space clean, whether that means scooping litter boxes, cleaning up after walks, or tidying food and water areas. I’ll respect your home, follow any special care instructions, and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of friends, neighbors and family’s dogs and cats over the years and absolutely love all animals! My dog Toby is my baby, so I definitely understand how to care for people’s pets like my own. Any special instructions or details will be handled carefully! I work part time in an office and part time from home so I have the flexibility to drop in and do walks in the middle of the day. I follow all care instructions to a tee. It’s important for your animal to feel as little disruption to their daily schedule as possible. I’m happy to do a meet and greet prior to booking!

About: My experience has been mostly my family and friends. I have taken their animals on walks, bathed them, fed them, played with them. Took them to parks and even trained them on new skills. Since I just graduated I have very open availability and ready to help. I am very organized and dependable, I value time management, my career/education, and most importantly taking care of people and animals. I am currently waiting for the new school year to roll around and continue my education so my schedule is free. I wake up early to work out but that time can be flexible depending on if I have a pet to watch. I keep the animals on the schedule they are used to. Feed them, fill water, walks, clean behind them, playtime, medicine if they need. Also litter box maintenance for cats. Also making sure we’re safe in the house and my phone near me to contact the owners if needed.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I love high energy animals and taking care of them. I grew up with a dog and cat I still have and care for and more recently I have been a volunteer at the Humane Society, I even ended up starting my own club of volunteers in high school. This role has equipped me with all sorts of animal care skills such as cleaning after them, bathing them, feeding them and administering medication, and making sure to provide lots of love and attention. I’ve always said that I’m not a dog or cat person when asked, but rather an animal person. I love animals and caring after them. I am a college student at Tulane University and I am currently home for the summer! I am available until June 22nd and have open availability all day every day until then. I have a fenced yard and two pets of my own that are both friendly so I am no stranger to spending time outdoors with animals or having playdates. I am more than happy to take pets to any appointments they may have and am able to administer medication if needed.

About: ---> Sorry, I do NOT accept most spunky, young dogs Over 30 pounds. Most of the small pets I care for cannot physically handle playing with most dogs over 30 pounds. There's no setting for that weight on Rover. (Unless your pet is an elder and/or they're very mellow) <--- My name is Melissa (aka. "Missy"). I'd like to care for your precious pet the next time you need some help. Do you have somewhere to go, or something to do? Let me help you, at your place or mine!?! You can book your pet for a caring, one hour, drop-in visit to your home, a few overnight visits, or an extended stay at my house. Do you need help at the last minute ... ? No problem. I'm happy to provide pet transportation, if needed. I can also help you fulfill the rules & requirements at a "Pet-Friendly" NOLa hotel, when the rules say, “you cannot leave your pet in the hotel room alone”. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant - This means your precious pet will NEVER be left alone for long hours, whenever they're in my care. I will be at your pet's side, while you take care of business or if you have a fun get-away planned. I’m very comfortable with many different animals & dog breeds, including elderly dogs that need a mellow, safe space with calm, gentle care. I pay close attention to what your dog likes & dis-likes, along with their personality quirks & individual needs. I enjoy caring for all animals, both young & old. I do not accept more than 2-3 dogs at a time. ((I USUALLY only schedule ONE family's pet(s) at the same time, especially if there’s a new dog client)). I always put in a great deal of consideration, before scheduling more than one family's pet at the same time. My home is very spacious, clean, well-organized & safe. I have a large, gated/enclosed & secure, backyard. The dogs that stay with me are ALWAYS supervised. My eyes will be on your pet constantly, while we play at your home or mine, both inside & outside. Allow me to love & care for your precious pet, while you take care of you. Let's discuss your needs. I do offer one free meet & greet. Other than dogs, I also have experience caring for: Cats, Birds, Bunnies, Turtles, Lizards, Snakes, Hamsters, Fish, Frogs, Chickens & Plants. Most of my pet guests are small, therefore any extra frisky, playful pet, over 30 pounds may cause physical harm, even if they are just playing. I'd rather not take that chance. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant. I’m rarely away from the house for more than 2-3 hours. I will always keep my eyes on your pet, even when the pet is roaming around the backyard. My backyard has a 9 ft. high, wooden fence. I also have a double gated entry, front-yard patio. I can also provide crates if needed. My 20 pound dog is 8yrs. old and he is very mellow & well behaved. He always welcomes another dog friend, anytime. We have a trusted routine for introducing new pet guests.

Do you need a secret weapon to keep your pup calm and happy! I found her but it’s no secret! When Jen walks my pup it’s like I feel the joy through the phone. Her happy energy literally pours out of the message and the pics she sends. Such infectious personality combined with professionalism cannot be kept hidden. So glad we found you and I hope others seek you out too.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Metairie

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Metairie is $21 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $36 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 1,174 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Metairie. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Metairie after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 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. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Metairie. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

walkers on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
