About: Greetings! I live half a block from Cabrini Dog Park, so if you need a pup sitter, that’s a fun perk. (Park) I’m experienced with most animals, as I was raised on a farm with tons of pets, so I have no problem caring for all creatures, both big and small. (And a green thumb if needed). Let’s chat and see if I can make yours and your pet’s life a bit easier. 😊 😉😁😇 As a writer, I set my own hours, which means I have a flexible schedule that works around your pet’s needs — not the other way around. I recently moved back to Louisiana to reconnect with my roots, and I’m settled in with plenty of time to spare. Mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends — I can make it work.🐾🐾🐾🐾 I live alone with my one small pup, so your fur baby won’t be competing for attention — they’ll get my full focus. My home is quiet and calm, perfect for pets who prefer a low-key environment over a chaotic house full of other animals. My own dog is friendly and well-socialized, so introductions tend to go smoothly.
“Our dog had an amazing time with John and Tara! Walks, feedings, play time, cuddles - everything was done the way she was used to. They let her sleep in the bed with them same way she does at home, and I’m sure it helped a lot for her to feel welcome. John has a cat, Pierre, and my dog became buddies with him as well. We also loved how fast John was responding to our texts, and we also appreciated daily pupdates. Thank you, John, Tara and Pierre!”
“Nicole was amazing. It was the first time Harri and I had been apart. Nicole text and sent pictures of Harri's stay. And was very patient with both of us during our separation. I will definitely bring Harri back to his new auntie. Thanks again Nicole, you rock!!!”

Jessica was AMAZING! Very sweet and communicative. I really appreciated all of her updates and photos. It helped ease my anxiety about leaving my baby behind. It’s clear that she loves dogs and enjoys having them around. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future!
This was the 2nd time we used Regina to watch Theo and she provides the absolute best care! She is incredibly attentive, always provides the most detailed updates and Theo absolutely loves her. She is a pleasure to work with and also always very accommodating. Can’t recommend her enough!
It’s been a while since we’ve booked a boarding with Mike but Luna and I absolutely love him! Very sweet, great with Luna and pays close attention to detail. I can appreciate receiving pictures and videos throughout her stay does a great job communicating and is very understanding. So grateful to have gotten to book with Mike again. Definitely a star sitter! ⭐️
Sophie is the best! She is very communicative and went above and beyond to help my pup feel happy and comfortable while I was out of town. Sophie graciously shuffled her schedule to take my dog to the vet for an unexpected issue and made sure to call me so I could talk to the vet. Sophie is extremely reliable and my dog absolutely adores her. I highly recommend Sophie for fantastic care for fur babies!
Christina was a total sweetheart from the moment of her first response to saying goodbye to our pup. She was so communicative and sent such sweet pictures and messages about their adventures and her great care of him. I have used Rover many times in various locations, and I think this was the best experience we have had thus far. I felt so good about Copper's care that I almost felt guilty picking him up. LOL.
Excellent care taker of my baby girl. I would highly recommend Ellen for a sitter while you are away. She was always timely and an effective communicator of all things I worried about while away. She sent videos and photos of the dogs throughout my trip. I will be using her in the future.
We love Blair and have returned to her for dogsitting! She takes excellent care of our high energy dog when we are out of town, keeps her entertained with walks and playing, is very low key and responsive to questions, sends pictures and updates regularly. Cannot recommend her enough.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in New Orleans is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $61 per night. 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. 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 514 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across New Orleans. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in New Orleans can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their New Orleans home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your New Orleans.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your New Orleans sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
