About: I have had dogs in my life since i was 11 years old (27 years). Last october i had to say goodbye to my companion of 11 years, Wanda. I am not ready for another dog of my own and want to be around your dogs as much as possible. I believe in reciprocal relational dynamics between humans and dogs are the best approach to training and trust, not dominance and control. I would like to care for your dog by building a relationship with them based on their personality and needs. Would love to meet you and your dog! I am currently a self-employed carpenter and bee keeper. My schedule is very flexible and i can work with you and your dogs schedule and needs. I live in a household with 3 other dogs who are my roommates', so I cannot board at my home, but am more than happy and available for caring for them at yours. I am good with all size and age of dogs.
“Cortney was a wonderful dog sitter- she was very responsive and calm even when my alarm randomly went off! I will definitely be using Cortney again to watch Maisy!”

“We had an amazing experience with Keyona caring for our three dogs while we were in Gulf Shores. One puppy was very hesitant at first, but Keyona’s calm, consistent approach had her back to her normal self—and participating with the other two—by the next day. Keyona went above and beyond with attentive updates, lots of patience, and even offered additional support tailored to our shy pup’s needs. It’s rare to find someone who cares this much. We will absolutely book with her again! Punchy highlights: Three dogs, including one very hesitant puppy—thriving by Day 1 Proactive updates, great communication, and genuine compassion Thoughtful add-on support for our shy pup’s comfort 10/10—we’ll definitely rebook Keyona!”

“Lindsay was so wonderful! We were given the most detailed notes about the check in we have ever received and the most adorable photos. Lindsay was super flexible with some changes we needed to make, and was always very helpful. I would highly recommend!”

“Charles was great with our dog. He was very flexible and adjusted to our change of plans. Rose was very comfortable with him very quickly. We lol forward to having him back.”

About: I am a flexible, reliable dog owner and lover. I understand the amount of energy dogs can have, and I work to meet their individual needs. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality. I am available many days of the week to take care of your babies while you are away at work. I also have an older dog with special needs, so I am understanding of dogs with disabilities or medical needs, and I know how scary it can be to leave your senior dogs with someone new. I am available to take your dog on plenty of walks through out the day to ensure that they are getting the exercise and attention they need. I have taken care of dogs for many years and I understand how important they are to a family, so I strive to treat everyone's dog as my own. I have toys and leashes and treats so that all my dogs have a great time, and to make drop off and pick up easy on the owners! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can be available according to your dog's regular routine and needs. I like to stick to the dog's regular routine as closely as possible. I like to learn about the dog and it's owner so that I understand their usual routine, so that we can stick to what they are used to as closely as possible to minimize seperation anxiety and prevent any schedule disruptions.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my whole life and have loved working with Rover doing boarding, walking, and sitting. My fiancé and I live in a split-level home with a fenced backyard—plenty of space for playtime and lounging. We don’t have pets right now or kids, so your pup gets all the love and attention! One of us is always home (my fiancé works remotely), and we’re comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. We live in a quiet, walk-friendly neighborhood, and we love staying active with our furry guests. Your dog will be treated like family—with lots of snuggles, playtime, and regular updates for you. Can’t wait to meet your pup! I'm a grad student who's home most of the time, and my fiancé works remotely, so your pet will always have company. I provide daily walks, plenty of attention, and bathroom breaks as often as needed. Caring for animals is a top priority in our routine, and your pet will be treated like family! I believe all living things deserve kindness and respect, and I’ll go above and beyond to make sure every pet in my care feels happy and comfortable. I’m committed to following all food, medication, and routine needs exactly as requested to keep your pet feeling safe and at home—whether they're staying with me or I’m coming to you.

“Robin takes such good care of our 16 yr old cat. Sends pictures and updates every day! We have used her for the past year and are very happy customers!”

About: Fall Services Sale: Drop in and dog walk deal busters! For a temporary period of time I am offering a promotional discount to my dog walking, running, drop-in, and pet-mento services. TLDR; Reliable, experienced pet care with a personal touch. Dog jogger. Plus optional photo and video add-ons to capture your pet’s best moments Hi! I’m Matt. Big animal lover and lifelong dog person here. I grew up in a corgi-loving family, and the current “reigning corgi” is Henry — small dog, big personality packed into that loaf of bread. I’ve been around animals my whole life and know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. Whether it’s a before-sunrise walk, an overnight stay, or just company while you’re away, I treat every pet like my own. I pay attention to their comfort, energy, and quirks because every animal has their own personality, and I love getting to know them. Pets deserve genuine, personalized care — not just a quick walk around the block. I follow your routines, give plenty of attention and playtime, stay alert to their mood and needs, and provide updates so you always know how they’re doing. I also have a passion for photography and video editing. If you’d like, I can film a short “day in the life” video of your pet with my GoPro and iPhone setup — complete with fun edits, music, and photos. It’s a unique keepsake and totally optional add-on for any booking. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness come first — and I aim to give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. . Im available at all hours. I available for contact when needed. I can do last minute drop-in like you would call your family member or friend. I follow and care for the pet as instructed by their owner and I respect the rules of their home. I always make sure the dog is on a leash when walking and the necessary cleanup, either in the backyard or on a walk.
“Great job, Cody! We felt perfectly at ease leaving our precious "girls" with you! Thank you for your attention to detail and attentiveness, they were extremely well cared for.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals for over 30 years. Dogs, cats, and farm animals! I absolutely love it. I love humans too, but animals and pets are chicken soup for the soul. My schedule is fairly wide open. I own an arcade bar, but only work on call. So I’m flexible all week. And I’m home a vast majority of the time. I do not have a yard, but I live 2 blocks from St Roch park, and I also have a large truck for traveling to fenced in spaces. Otherwise I’m mostly home. Walks, parks, puzzle games, grooming….depending on the dog’s needs.
“Stacy and Patrick came over twice to take care of our pup, Maka, while we were gone for a night. When we met them before booking, they were very receptive to everything we went over with them from quirks with our house to quirks with our dog! Maka also liked them both right away which is what we cared about most because it is very rare that we use dog sitter services and she can be a bit hesitant with strangers. Everything went very smoothly and I'll definitely reach out to them again if we need a sitter!”

“Hanna did a great job taking care of our two dogs this weekend. They are not easy to deal with and they were well taken care of all weekend. We loved the pictures, and plenty of care was given to their needs. Would love to have Hanna take care of them again next time we’re out of town.”


“I had a great experience working with Russell. He was friendly, professional, and very accommodating, even agreeing to watch my cat while taking care of 4 other animals for the holiday. He clearly cares about pets, and did a great job with my cat (although my cat doesn't have any special needs). I would certainly ask him to help out again.”

“Elise is great - She willingly came by to meet Maggie in advance of the drop-in visit, was very communicative, and clearly loves dogs :) Will definitely be using her on a regular basis.”

New Orleans dog parents share their Rover experiences
Doc is absolutely fantastic. From start to finish, she was dependable, communicative, and truly cared for my pets. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely kind, Doc is the sitter you want. I would book with her again without hesitation. Highly recommend!
Nikki was wonderful! She was professional, on time for all drop ins, great with using the Rover card and adding pictures of my dog. Nikki even noticed that my senior dog was having some anxiety due to fireworks and gave him his anxiety meds and replaced his potty pads. Highly recommend- will reach out to her again for pet sitting!
