“E is super attentive, responsive, respectful and overall a great with my dog! E sent thorough updates and pics to me while I was away and made me feel reassured Oreo was taken care of. I would definitely recommend and book for further outings. Thanks so much!!”
“I always know my fur babies are in good hands with Amanda. Their attitudes have improved greatly! She works with us with training, and lets us know if anything seems off about them when she visits. I am grateful she is in our lives!”
“Kate went above and beyond with our two cats that we had to leave for an extended amount of time. We received multiple updates and fun photos each visit. It gave us such peace of mind to know they were safe and being well taken care of. She even updated us on weather conditions and helped prepare our home for an upcoming storm when we couldn’t return home in time. We will definitely be rebooking Kate in the future and know our two boys will be very excited to see us go!”
“Faith took great care of my two senior cats while I was away. She also brought in mail/packages and provided great communication. I would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Olivia was the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. She updated me every time she came by and updated me with photos each time. It wasn’t needed but was a nice touch to give updates on how many times they had a pee/poop break and were fed. I can tell Olivia truly loves and has a passion for pups! I would recommend her again and again. Amazing first experience with Rover!”
“I hired Jackie to come to my apartment once a week and check on my two beta fish tanks and my tarantula. I was so relieved that she took the job because a lot of people are too intimidated by spiders to accept. She went above and beyond taking care of my fish and my spider, going so far as to troubleshoot my filters and test my tank water. She is extremely knowledgeable about fish and spent a lot of time making sure they were OK. This is so much more than I expected and I felt so confident leaving my pets in her care. She was Amazing with my tarantula and even offered to go to the store and get more crickets for her when she ran out. She sent me pictures and asked questions when she wasn’t sure how to proceed with her and I was really relieved to know that all of my pets were getting a lot of attention and care. It was very obvious that Jackie really cared about doing a good job of taking care of my pets. She is very detailed with her check-in visits and always takes pictures. she is extremely capable and responsible and I felt very safe giving her my keys and access to my house. I would hire Jackie again in a second and if you are looking for a sign to hire her, this is definitely it! Wish I could give her 100 stars.”
About: New to Rover, but I started dog-sitting in college. I've taken care of blind senior dogs, puppies, adult dogs, not to mention guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, turtles...the list goes on!! I work from home, so I can take my laptop and work from anywhere with internet. And if you don't have internet, I can use my hotspot! I treat my pets like they're my kids, so your pets would be like my nieces and nephews...lots of fun but I'll give 'em back!! When dog-sitting in your home, I try to leave everything just as you left it.
“Dani is awesome. Showed up on time, spent quality time with my dog. She sent pics and videos. I highly recommend her. And I returned to a very happy dog. Thank you Dani. You are now part of the family!”
“Natalie was great with our golden retriever puppy Cooper! She provided a lot of updates and pictures of her visit and enjoyed seeing him everyday. Would recommend Natalie to anyone!!”
“Karen did a great job of taking care of our 17 year old cat who’s a picky eater and needs medication. It was a last min booking and she was quick to set up a meet and greet before we left town. She sent pictures and our kitty was very calm and content when we got home. Thank you so much!”
About: Hello and thank you for considering me to take care of your fur baby! I love animals and have had them all my life. I grew up on a small farm with everything from cats and dogs to goats, chickens, and llamas. At the moment I currently have a senior cat named Jackson who’s living his best indoor/outdoor kitty life. In addition to being an animal lover, I am also a board certified general surgeon! I am comfortable with administering medication and injections if needed. Whether it be going for a walk or stop being by for some chin scratches, I’m your girl! I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s). I currently work full-time so unfortunately and unable to offer weekday boarding. However, I am available for drop in visits and walking services throughout the week. For clients with an enclosed yard, I am happy to go outside to help your pet stretch their legs and play. Otherwise pets will be kept on a leash at all times while on walks.
About: I've loved and cared for dogs ever since I was a kid. My first job ever was as a dog-sitter for my neighbor's Weimaraner, Lily! I also grew up taking care of my family Dachshunds, Benny & BJ. Now, I enjoy caring for friends and neighbors pets when the need arises. My trusted side-kick, Boone (my dog), helps me do it! I work during the week, and am primarily available on the weekends for boarding at my home, drop-in visits, or walks! Please let me know of any scheduling questions! I have a fenced in yard, safe neighborhood for walking, a car for pick-up or drop-off, and a sweet dog, Boone, to help keep your sweet dog company.
About: My family got our first dog when I was 9 years old. Since then, I don't think I've ever not had pets in my life. I've had dogs, cats, and bearded dragons. I come from a long line of animal lovers, and I consider my pets to be part of the family - so they live good and happy lives. I've also had family and friends rely on me many times to take care of their pets while they were out of town. I'm a teacher, so come the summer (when everyone goes on vacation), my days are wide open! During the school year, weekends are the best bet for house-sitting, but I've got more flexibility for dog walking etc. First step is building trust. I want your pet(s) to feel comfortable around me, and part of that is gauging how they behave around me. If they want love and attention, I'm more than happy to give it! If they need more time and distance, that's okay too. I'm someone who wants to make sure that you AND your pet are happy, so whatever you need me to do is what I'll do. Lots of play? Can do! Frequent walks or bathroom breaks? Not a problem! Just hang out so they're not alone? Absolutely. And I want you to feel confident that your pets are in good hands, so I'm always happy to send check-in pictures if desired.
“Kallie was so so so amazing! She did an amazing job communicating and sending lots of pictures, which made this super nervous pet parent’s first trip away a LOT easier! The pets warmed up to her super quickly, and she followed instructions I had left very well! Would highly recommend trusting her with your pets!”
“Liz was a true godsend! I travelled out of state for a month & needed drop-in care for my 4 year old cat. Liz did a stellar job! She was extremely communicative on her visits, sent photos each day with status reports on Ashling's mood & general well being. Liz performed all requested tasks extraordinarily well. Additionally, her calm demeanor gave me great comfort during this new-to-me process of arranging for pet care via an app. I will 100% reach out to Liz the next time Ashling & I need Rover App services! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
About: Hi! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, trained them, played with them, and dealt with sicknesses. When I started college I began watching dogs on the side and fell in love with all the furry friends I made along the way! I genuinely love working with, playing with, and loving dogs. I have previously volunteered at an animal shelter in NJ as well! I have an open schedule, I am available to care for dogs any day and time of the week (given proper planning). I have a dog at home so no pets at our house but I’m happy to come to your home and care for your pet! I will make sure to make your pet feel comfortable in their home. We will play all day, go on lovely walks, and any other activities they enjoy! I previously owned a cleaning and organization business before relocating to the New Orleans area. I am comfortable and familiar with navigating client homes and building trust.

Kendall G.
“I have the great pleasure of knowing Kendall personally after meeting by chance and subsequently bonding over musical theatre, and of course, our immense love of dogs. As our friendship has blossomed, I’ve had the great pleasure of witnessing her interactions with her own fur babies, and with mine. When I was faced with rapidly changing work circumstances and multiple extended trips away from home prior to my international relocation, I asked Kendall if she would pet sit my 2 fur babies (husky and golden retriever) because I knew they would receive the same amount of (if not more) love, care and affection that I give them myself. I also know her to be trustworthy, sensible, reliable and kind, which made me feel perfectly at ease leaving them with her for extended periods. Kendall has exceptional communication skills and displays confident and competent interactions with dogs at all times. They says dogs are the best judge of character, and everywhere we go, dogs seem to swarm Kendall 🤣 I cannot rate her services highly enough and would recommend her in a heartbeat, as someone worthy of protecting your precious paws whether it be on exercise adventures or more extended, homely experiences. If I were to require dog boarding while I am overseas, I would seriously fly Kendall over to house/dog sit rather than put them in a boarding kennel - THATS how incredible she is!!”

Brigette W.
“Brigette is an absolute delight. She is professional and tidy and a dog lover through and through. Our pup Echo is a German shepherd with lots of energy and is still learning a lot about her world. Brigette is kind and thoughtful with echo and she loves her so much! Brigette has also offered care for my brother’s dog and has been reliable and wonderful as a house guest and dog sitter! She even has her own cleaning business which I also highly recommend! 10/10”

Metairie pet parents share their Rover experiences
This is our first time leaving Izzy, a PomChi, at home by herself for a 3X a day visits and we were, of course, very nervous about it. Amanda was careful with Izzy during the meet and greet and carefully introduced herself with her instead of trying to be so friendly right away. We informed Amanda that there will be a camera focused on her beddings by the front door and she made sure that she sat by the camera so we can see her giving Izzy love and petting. Amanda is timely and followed all the details that we discussed about Izzy’s care. By the 2nd day, we can see Izzy’s happy dance when she arrives. I like the detailed notes of her visits including cute pics. We were very satisfied on how well she took care of our pup and we will definitely reach out again when we go on another trip!
We are so fortunate to have been able to meet Natalie and have her watch our dog while out of town. From the very initial meet and greet, I knew this was going to be a great experience. She has kept in communication through the duration of her visits which is amazing for my peace of mind. She has made this such an easy transaction for North and myself. I will absolutely use her in the near future!
Ashley was very professional and kept us updated every day. I appreciated the daily pictures, updates, and kind feedback, as well as her administering her insulin twice daily. I would definitely want Ashley to sit for us the next time we have to go out of town.
Faith was WONDERFUL. My pups are very wary of strangers, and this was the first time they had someone new care for them while I was out of town, and Faith was an all-star. She gave the sweetest/funniest updates about the dogs and took excellent care of them. Highly recommend!!
I cannot express how grateful I am for Hannah! She came through for me at the very last minute and completely saved the day. From the moment we connected, she was incredibly communicative, kind, and caring. She kept me updated the whole time even while overseas and I could tell she genuinely cared for my cat like her own. I truly appreciate her and will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Highly, highly recommend!!
Nina did a fantastic job checking in on our dog and cat while we were away for the weekend. From the very beginning, she was polite, communicative, and easy to work with. She made sure we were always in the loop with regular updates and photos, which helped us feel confident and at ease knowing our pets were being well cared for. Both our cat and dog seemed happy and comfortable in her care, and it was clear she took the time to understand their routines and personalities. Nina was also very respectful of our home—everything was just as we left it, and we truly appreciated the care she took while we were gone. Overall, Nina was responsible, trustworthy, and clearly great with animals. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and thoughtful sitter!
I can't say enough about Dara being an outstanding caregiver to my shy cat Luca. She went above and beyond to save the day and make sure he was safe before, during, and even after a HURRICANE! Wonderful person and I am so lucky to find such a terrific sitter.
Alyssa is absolutely awesome! She was able to accommodate a last minute request and took all the care in the world with my dog and cat. She sent lots of pictures and my pets loved her. I will be booking with her again in the future and highly recommend her services for anyone looking for great care for their pets!
