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.
“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 have been around animals all my life, and I have had pets for as long as I can remember. Whenever a family member fosters either a dog or cat I am the first one to help out.

When I am home I am still around animals all the time, and I love helping take care of them. When I'm home from school I love helping my mom walk the dogs!

About: I’ve been a dog groomer for 15 years. I’m very good at taking care of dogs, communicating with them and making them feel noticed and appreciated. I have a very open schedule due to me not being able to groom dogs right now due to an elbow injury. Left arm still works perfectly Petting, talking to them, regular feeding times. Long walks with play time. If toys are provided I will also use them during their play time.

I appreciate communication and have no issues sending pet updates while you’re away... I’m trustworthy and will care about your pets and home while you’re away.
About: I have had two rowdy dogs for ten years now. My family adopted them as puppies and have adapted our house to give them an indoor-outdoor living area. One of my dogs is very anxious and afraid of men, she finds comfort in me most, and with time I have helped her combat this anxiety with gentle and repetitive exposure to her fears. We rescued a kitten five years ago and integrated him into our house with the dogs. I walk my dogs every day and use good leash manners. I also take care of my friends' dog and cats when they're away on vacation, giving me experience with pets of varying personalities. I am currently at home for summer break. I have free time most days to take care of people's pets besides 2.5 weeks of a summer camp job and a short vacation. I respond and communicate my availability quickly and clearly to ensure that pet owners get the help that they need. I will follow the instructions provided to me that I agree to. On top of this, I will ensure that I stick to the pets' training and will do my best to prevent accidents caused by the pet.
“Ryan is a quiet guy with loud voice of professionalism heard as he handles your pup. He actually knows quite a bit about dogs and training but doesn’t say much. He listens well. Also I believe he’s actually trustworthy since he had keys to my apartment to retrieve my dog twice a day. No problems in that department at all. Gerphren really liked him and seemed to expect his presence even when the weekend would come. I would recommend Ryan. When I return he will be my first call.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Metairie
All you need to do is take one look at the cheesy grin on my pup’s face to know that Jen is a gem. She thoughtfully ensures that our girl gets some pool time after her walks during the summer and she dries her off after too. We hit the jack pot and we’re so grateful.
Anne has been walking our dog, 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.
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.

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.

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
- 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 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.
