“Deana D. was absolutely amazing!!!! Right from the start you could tell that she absolutely loves animals and has a broad depth of knowledge as to how to keep them healthy and happy! She knows what has to be done to make the sitting experience run smoothly, and is communicative and helpful in every aspect of the booking and sitting. We could not be more pleased and will absolutely recommended her and use her again!”
“Angela cat-sat for us for a long weekend and did a great job with our cat. He's only been with us for about 1.5 months, so his routine can be a little tricky. She accommodated him wonderfully, and he appeared very happy when we returned.”
“AMAZING. Truly took the time to make my two cats feel comfortable and cared for, even with one of them being injured. My request was last minute and he was accommodating and gave me peace of mind while out of town. Can’t recommend enough.”
“Lynda was amazing!! It was go great to go out of town and feel relieved knowing she was taking such good care of my kitties! Thank you so much Lynda! I look forward to rebooking you in the future!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we had such a great experience with Stacy and Patrick! Stacy and Patrick did overnight stays with our cats and they truly went above and beyond. They did such a great job looking after our cats. We recommend them and will definitely use them again.”
About: I've been raised around animals my entire life. Growing up, I would spend time and help take care of my family's dog. Once I went to college, I got my own dog, Atticus, who has been my best friend for the past ten years. While in college I would volunteer at the local humane society and help walk the dogs there. When Atticus and I moved to New Orleans, we made lots of new animal (and human) friends. Since moving I've pet sat for all kinds of animals, like cats, rabbits, birds, pigs, not just dogs. During the year, I'm a high school math teacher, which means my summers are pretty flexible. I'm happy to walk and spend time with your best friend while you're either at work or out of town. I have all day availability to drop in and check in on your pet or to take them on walks throughout the day. I can make my schedule work for you. I will treat your pet with the utmost care. Whatever your house rules are, I am more than happy to follow to ensure that your pets feel safe and comfortable.
About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, focusing on daily walks and overnight care. For the past 5 years, I have raised my own gentle pup, Poopoo, who is well-trained and keeps me experienced in consistent walking, feeding, and providing comfort at night. Before that, I spent 2 years in Korea helping my family raise another dog, giving me a strong background in handling different breeds and personalities. I also have 2 cats at home who are very friendly with other pets! Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me not only to walk their dogs but also to care for them overnight when they travel. I make sure each dog feels safe and loved—whether it’s long walks for active dogs, gentle care for seniors, or overnight stays where they get the comfort of a steady routine. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to dog walks and overnight care. I usually work part-time, so I’m available for morning and evening walks on weekdays, as well as extended overnight stays when you need to travel. On weekends, I can offer even more flexible availability for boarding and longer walks, making sure your pup gets the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I live in a pet-friendly environment with a calm, well-trained dog who is used to other pets. I make sure walks are always safe—using secure leashes and keeping a close eye on surroundings. For overnight care, I provide a quiet and comfortable space where your pup can feel at ease, and I always follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, routines, and any special needs.
“Wow!! Seray provided amazing care for my cat, Ella! She was incredibly patient and gave Ella the time and space she needed to feel comfortable and warm up to her. I truly appreciated the care and attention she provided. It gave me peace of mind knowing Ella was in such good hands. 10/10 experience! I would absolutely recommend Seray to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: Medical student who personally has two guinea pigs, two cats, grew up with dogs, and has previously owned many fish. I treat patients in the hospital and you can trust me to be professional and on top of your pet's care. Not many people have experience caring for rodents and fish. I also have personal experience owning two cats and growing up with 100+ pound dogs. I am currently doing a sports medicine research fellowship and have lots of time in the afternoons. I am usually free Fridays and the weekends all day. I will follow my client's care instructions to a tee. I am also not afraid to ask clarifying questions if I am confused. I will make sure your pets receive the bes quality of care. I am always open to call or text. Availability is of the utmost importance.
“Thank you so much! I really appreciate the thoroughness and the kindness and the prompt visits! I will definitely be requesting you again when I have to go out of town!”
About: I am a huge animal lover and advocate for all fur babies. I currently own four pets ( two cats and two dogs). I volunteer at the shelter and give back to the community. I have pet sat for my friends and families dogs and only recently decided to do this as a side gig. If you were to ask any of my friends and family, one of the main things they would describe about me is my love and care for animals. I go above and beyond. Just last year I picked up four lost dogs and reunited them with their owners. I also helped to TNR the kitties in my neighborhood and now have 3 permanent porch kitties 😂. You will never have to question if your pets are in good hands. I am also familiar with medium to large dogs and reactive dogs. My two dogs are reactive and I have learned a lot over the last 8-9 years. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I can take your dog for walks or potty breaks throughout the week and even more flexible during the weekends. If your pet would need to stay with me, I have a large fenced in yard and a guest bedroom where they can set up their own space away from my animals
About: While I'm currently in culinary school, I still have a huge love for all animals. With over a decade of dedicated dog care experience, I bring a genuine passion for providing exceptional care to your fur babies! I specialize in administering medications with patience and empathy, ensuring your dog's health needs are met with precision. My experience in elderly pet care has equipped me with the skills to provide gentle and attentive support to senior dogs, including mobility assistance and specialized dietary needs. What sets me apart is my deep understanding of the unique needs of each dog, coupled with a compassionate approach that prioritizes their well-being and happiness while you're away. I'm so excited to meet you all! My schedule is extremely flexible. I'm able to travel throughout most of the week! I have classes every weekday from 8am-12pm, though I'm free any other hour needed! Our home is senior safe and maintained with lots of cuddles, playtime, cameras, doggy doors, and bath time. There's always a running water bowl inside and outside, as well as a fenced in yard!
About: Ive pet sit since I was 14, both paid and unpaid, and I love it! I have experience with difficult dogs/cats (multiple high energy pups in one home) and a moody pet does not scare me off. Currently, 30 hours, of my week (~5hrs a day) is spent at my job at a cafe. Outside of that I can fit your fur baby into my schedule before or after work or on my off days! I never work late and my schedule is very flexible Being able to read the body language of your pup/kitty is a crucial skill that I have a lot of experience in. Being in your home, I know Im in their space
About: Growing up, my nuclear family cared for roughly thirty cats, both indoor and outdoor. Naturally, part of my daily routine was feeding them all before getting on the school bus, keeping the litter boxes and surrounding areas tidy throughout the day, and of course providing AMPLE love to all. I have experience nursing abandoned kittens to health and maturity, as well as acclimating feral cats into the home. I am more than keen when it comes to feline behavior! (My mother used to "joke" that her four children should come together and open a vet clinic.) Today, my husband and I have a well-trained, 3 year old shepherd mix named Poet, whom we adopted at just 8 weeks old, and a 5 year old American bobtail kitty named Millie, who we also rescued. We both work from home and our animals are our absolute lives. Normal days for us include walks around the neighborhood, as well as trips to City Bark. We have a fenced in backyard for potty time, as well as sun bathing. Both as our animal have free reign of our home; they watch TV with us, answer email with us, snooze with us, cook with us, etc.! You can trust that your fur baby would be met with the same love, adoration, and care that we provide to our own. Both my husband and myself work from home and are able to provide near-constant care for your fur babies, whether that pertain to potty breaks or play time! We have a modest fenced in yard, as well as one dog and one cat of our own. Both are friendly with all species! We have ample space (spare bedrooms) to set up up a crate/kennel if desired.
“I could be the luckiest guy, who has a cat he loves very much, to have found Abbie as a sitter while I took a sabbatical. My biggest anxiety was leaving Hugo behind for a month. When I met up with Abbie for our meet and greet, I knew he would be in good hands, and much of my anxiety faded as we we talked. She communicated everyday, and my cat had to love the attention he got from her, even if his dad was nowhere to be found (he was very happy to see me when I got back). If you have cats that you love dearly, I do not know how you could do any better, at all, than to engage and hire Abbie to help you out. She is genuine and heartfelt in her approach, and I was asking a lot for a person to spend a month looking in on a beloved pet. I simply can not say enough in terms of the positive of my experience in hiring her, and I recommend her highly. On behalf of myself and Hugo, thank you Abbie!”
About: I have had multiple animals my whole life and taken care of all kinds of pets since I was 15 years old. I have helped neighbors and friends care for their pets while they were away or simply busy with life. I work a part-time job, and have flexible hours and plenty of time to care for any and all pets. I love going for morning or evening walks, but I am here to suit your pets needs. When sitting or walking a pet in a clients home I try to treat the session the way I would want it to go as a pet owner. I am respectful of their property and animal, while making sure their pet is taken care of the way I would take care of my own.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - New Orleans
Jamie really is a cat whisperer! My two ladies have very different personalities and she connected with both cats beautifully, even my very timid and shy girl! I knew that my girls were in good hands and I felt like I could actually enjoy my trip and not stress knowing that Jamie was there to pop in and spend time with my girls!
Daphne has a rather unique ability to roll with the punches of New Orleans life and also provide consistent care and attention to detail. Undeterred by weather and an unpredictable alarm system, she consistently arrives with her focus on my cats. Highly recommend A+++
Angela is fantastic! She is reliable, super friendly, and flexible. She took care of our little menagerie perfectly while we were away. It takes such a load off to know that the pets are cared for by someone we trust while we are travelling. We loved getting the pictures every day!
Hanna went above and beyond! I was gone for 2 weeks and never had to wonder or worry how my 2 fur babies (cats) were doing. Even though one warmed up to her the other one was scared. But I got pictures every day even if Jasper was in the closet!! When I returned they had a smell-a-thon like usual. Hanna left no messes and even swept the floor. Hanna is very pleasant and down to earth. I will want to hire her again when I travel. Highly recommend!
Laura always takes the absolute best care of our cat! She is reliable and has great communication during our extended trips away, so we know our sweet kitty is in great hands. She is also so thoughtful and waters our plants, takes out our trash, etc while we are away. We are so grateful to have her caring for our cat each time we travel and highly recommend her!! 💕🐈🫶🏻

The average cost of Cat Sitting in New Orleans is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 sitter.
