“Alejandra is the best! I’ve booked her 3x so far and will try to whenever I’m going out of town. She takes excellent care of my pup, Nike, and makes sure Nike has a blast. Alejandra sends the cutest pictures and videos of her while I’m gone too.”
“ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. Cash is in love with Anne. Such a gem not only does she take care of my baby like her own, but she is accommodating with dates and time!”
“Quiana was GREAT with Saint James! Saint took to her immediately and they enjoyed each other. I appreciated all the updates and check-ins. I usually am a little anxious when I leave her with anyone, even family who she was raised with, but somehow I knew I didn’t have to worry at all and I didn’t. Quiana is definitely family now, so we’ll be back!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, providing daily exercise, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your furry family members. I provide attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether that means energetic walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or a calm environment for senior pets. I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, monitoring for changes in behavior or health, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. As a teacher, I bring patience, responsibility, and strong communication skills to every pet-sitting experience. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and cared for while creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a teacher, I have a structured schedule and plenty of flexibility during evenings, weekends, holidays, and school breaks to dedicate quality time to the pets in my care. I enjoy being active, so daily walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures are something I genuinely look forward to. I prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medication administration if needed, and plenty of affection and attention. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or overnight care, I make sure every pet receives reliable, consistent care and feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home or my own, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any special care requests. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and bathroom breaks while keeping their environment clean and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until their family returns home.
About: I've had pets since I was a pre-teen, and recently I've been a rescue foster for dogs & cats for the past 2 years, so I have cared for many animals, many with behavioral issues. I have two rescue pitbulls and two rescue cats of my own. I have been working from home as a nonprofit contractor & artist. Although I do not have a car, I am able to bop around town via bike I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who would love to keep your doggy company. I also have a large crate in a separate front room if they need their own space.
“Kenneth watched my dog nova for a day and overnight when I went to a Mardi Gras parade and I can’t be more pleased. First off it was last minute and during Mardi Gras nonetheless so it was very challenging to find someone, Kenneth made it easy and responded to my request almost immediately. I was able to drop nova off and felt like I left her in good hands. Kenneth sent me lots of videos and photos during his time with nova which was also super appreciated. And finally when I was an hour late picking her up because I lost my keys and had to wait on a locksmith, he didn’t mind. Overall if I could give 6 stars I would and if I need a dog sitter in New Orleans again I know who to ask. Thanks so much Kenneth!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire adulthood. Animals are angels on earth and truly part of what makes life so special. I don’t trust just anyone with my own fur baby, so I understand how stressful it can be to find someone to care for them when you need to travel or work extended hours. My entire family has dogs and I occasionally pet sit for relatives or friends who need it, so I figured I could do that more consistently to help others as well. I am between jobs and exploring what comes next, so I’m available all the time to love and care for your pups while you are at work or on vacation. I have a fenced backyard that pups can run around in. I am liberal with giving treats, but will absolutely respect and follow what your dog’s feeding and treat needs are. I love engaging with pups and learning their personalities, so they won’t be ignored in any way while they are with me. Senior dogs are welcome.
“Dex was very sweet to my girls especially Raven, my shy girl. They were very patient with her and provided her with the comfort needed for Raven to get comfortable. My girls were treated like family with Dex, and that is all I can ask for. This was my first time leaving my girls with a stranger rather than family, and I was very nervous. Dex has melted away those nerves. I plan on using their services again for another upcoming trip.”
“Bianca was amazing! We had an initial meeting to make sure she and Dreaux were a good fit, and it was clear right away that they were. Dreaux was so excited to be there he even gave her a hug goodbye! Bianca was excellent with communication, keeping me updated on drop-off and throughout the stay, especially regarding Dreaux's allergies. I would definitely book with her again and will be using her for all of my upcoming trips.”
“Georgette was great with my dogs. She was very conscientious with their food, med, and walk schedule. They were also super comfortable with her, which gave me a lot of peace of mind.”
About: As the devoted dog mom of an 8-year-old Yorkie-Poodle mix with a history of autoimmune disease, I understand firsthand what attentive, specialized care looks like. Managing her condition required regular vet coordination, medication routines, strong judgment, and consistent structure. That experience has made me patient, observant, and highly responsible. I have high standards for anyone who cares for my dog, and I bring those same standards to the families I work with. I’m experienced in basic obedience, senior dog care, and supporting dogs with chronic medical needs. I focus on safety, consistency, and helping each dog feel secure and understood. I work from home and am home most of the time, which allows me to provide consistent supervision and companionship. My availability depends on whether I am in town and other commitments, but I generally have flexibility and can accommodate boarding and daytime care. Because I’m home throughout the day, dogs in my care receive regular interaction, potty breaks, and structured playtime rather than being left alone for long stretches. I have a fenced yard (not large, but secure) and a friendly resident dog who enjoys company. Dogs in my care spend time both inside and outside. Inside, they are welcome on furniture and can be part of the household. While dogs may sleep in the bed, I prefer they have their own sleeping space (such as a crate or dog bed) to help them feel calm and secure at night. My own dog sleeps in her crate for that reason. I follow each dog’s feeding schedule carefully and provide potty breaks or walks every few hours. I also incorporate at least one to two sessions of intellectually stimulating play daily to keep dogs mentally engaged and happy. At this time, I provide care for dogs only and do not offer cat care.
“Caroline treated our two pets like royalty during their stay. We have stayed with a few different sitters, but Caroline has been our favorite thus far. She was attentive to our needs with the dogs and overall was very courteous and professional. The peace of mind is well worth the cost because I feel that I can trust my four-legged devils in Caroline's care. I will definitely book with her again in the future!”

About: Hello. My name is Emma! I know how stressful leaving your pets can be and how important it is to have someone you can trust. I chose to join the Rover community because I have always loved dogs and miss having one in my own home. In the past I had both a shih tzu and a German Shepard. I have fostered many dogs and puppies in the past through TakePaws Rescue in New Orleans. I have experience with both boarding and walking dogs. I like to be active and spend time with animals. I would love the opportunity to help you and your pet. I can’t wait to meet your furry friends. I typically work early morning until early afternoon but have all afternoon and evening free during the week! I’m completely free during the weekend to care for your pets! I am happy to care for pets in my home! I have a fenced in yard and am happy to keep your crate here. I have a young son who loves animals and would love to play with yours. Also, happy to travel and stay in your home.
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Metairie is $40

Jon took great care of my pup. He sent me picture mail as requested and even sent me more mail when I was checking in during the day. Made me feel comfortable leaving my baby for the first time with anyone. His space was very clean as well I did not have to worry about my pup getting into anything or eating anything random on the floor. Will definitely be booking with him again! Thank you Jon
Another wonderful experience with Katherine! I accidentally entered the wrong drop-off date in my reservation and didn't realize my mistake until the day before. Katherine was incredibly gracious and flexible, allowing me to bring Sally a day earlier than scheduled. And the best part? When Sally arrived, she ran right into the house without even looking back at me! Clearly, she was thrilled to be there. She came home completely exhausted, which tells me she had a fantastic time with lots of playing and fun. It's such a comfort knowing Sally is so happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!
Randy is very kind and loving with our little Dexter. He sent lots of pictures and kept us up to date with everything. He was very understanding about our flight getting canceled and made us feel at ease about having to pick him up the following day. Highly recommend!!
Lynn was absolutely amazing with Zeke! ❤️ From the very beginning, she was incredibly kind, caring, and communicative. She sent me video updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel connected to Zeke even while I was away. Her thoughtfulness and willingness to keep me updated truly went above and beyond my expectations. It was clear that Lynn genuinely cared about Zeke and wanted to make sure he was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. Finding someone you can fully trust with your fur baby is priceless, and Lynn is exactly that kind of person. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! I would recommend Lynn to absolutely anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loving with their pets. She’s a gem, and I would book her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Lynn, for taking such wonderful care of our Zeke! 🐾❤️
Gina was great and gave loving care to Keke.We were gone for over three weeks and she sent plenty of pics.Keke usually comes home stressed after being cared for by others. This time she was a much happier camper.i would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend Gina B. She truly cares for your pet.
Our dog can be anxious around other dogs and has had some issues in the past, so we usually look for someone who has no animals of their own and only takes one client at a time. Being a last minute booking, there really wasn't anyone else available so we took a chance with Stella knowing she has a cat and we were unsure of how Obi would do with that. I was honest with Stella about Obi's past and uncertainty about how he would react to a cat, so we arranged a meet up to see how the animals would do. After meeting her and her cat, we both felt comfortable to move forward with the booking. During the the 3 days we were gone, Stella was super responsive and sent regular updates including photos. Although our dog and her cat did not end up being couch cuddlers, they kept a respectful distance and Stella was very observant and responsible, making sure to supervise them and keep everyone happy and safely apart. We would definitely use Stella again! We were able to enjoy our family getaway and not worry about our fur baby. Thank you Stella!
Erin was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond with communication throughout the whole process confirming booking, offering to pickup instead of me doing drop off, sending pictures and videos. This was my first time leaving my kitten and Erin made the process WAY easier and smoother than I could’ve imagined. I will definitely use her again!

There are 512 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Metairie. About 91% of Metairie sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in LA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
