“Aura is absolutely incredible! This was my second time booking her, and once again she went above and beyond. She gave Luna so much love and attention, kept me updated with detailed walk summaries, and sent great photos every time. Luna was clearly happy, relaxed, and completely obsessed with the ball Aura found, definitely a new favorite! It’s always a relief knowing Luna is in such caring hands, especially when life gets hectic. I truly appreciate Aura’s reliability, communication, and the genuine care she shows. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful sitter!”
“Angela did a terrific job walking my dog. She was prompt and flexible with start times. She even walked him in the cold rain one day! I would definitely hire her again as a dog walker to help me out.”
“Ayanna was such a wonderful person to have walk our dogs while my mom was away. One of our dogs takes a little time to warm up to people but after a day when she realized Ayanna was there to help her, she gladly joined her sister in their daily walks. It was great knowing they were in good hands! Thanks you, Ayanna!”
“Stacy and Patrick are awesome! They always leave detailed reviews of our dog’s walk which makes us feel comforted. We also appreciate their availability whenever we need them. We know they can take care of our crazy husky. We highly recommend them!”
“Robin was incredible for us! We were gone for 9 days and each day she cared for Sophie with love, super sweet photos and awesome walks! We came home to a happy pup. Thank you Robin!!”
“Victoria is the best! She always takes great care of my dog and I highly trust her to be my reoccurring walker. She’s very communicative and responsive to my messages which eases my mind when I’m away from my pup. Truly, cannot recommend her enough!”
“Megan, is a lifesaver. I was in texas for work and needed a last minute dog walker. She and my fur baby jade connected very well. Megan is on time to walk jade, she is respectful, and I will be scheduling her when I need someone to look after jade. Big Thanks for your help Megan, again life save.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was 10 years old. From puppies to seniors, I’ve handled it all—walking, feeding, bathing, administering medication, and more. As a certified professional dog trainer, I also offer structure and behavior support during each stay. I specialize in building trust with pets who are shy, reactive, or need a bit of extra attention. I run Bree’s Training Co, my dog training business, full-time from home. This flexible schedule allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and enrichment they deserve throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a fully fenced-in yard and a well-socialized Doberman who loves company but can be separated if needed. All new introductions are handled carefully on-leash with two handlers. Feeding and bedtime are crate-based for structure, and I follow any special routines you provide. I create a calm, enriched space so every dog feels secure and cared for.
About: As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of having trusted care! I have been pet sitting for 5 plus years. As a nanny/house manger I have a flexible schedule! I am full time nanny & house manger. I have a pretty flexible day schedule and week schedule. Happy to accommodate with you & your pets schedule! I know the importance of a trusted pet sitter & I am able to provide you with that. Will give updates & keep you informed during my time with your pet.
About: I have years of professional experience in the animal industry, including managing dog daycare and boarding facilities, as well as managing a veterinary molecular diagnostics company specializing in PCR testing for animals of every kind, literally A to Z, from anteaters to zebras! My background combines hands on pet care with animal health knowledge, allowing me to provide attentive, safety focused care for pets of all ages, breeds, personalities, and medical needs. I am also PACCC Certified, a Certified Professional Animal Care Provider, as well as Pet CPR and First Aid Certified. My home is designed to be a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment where dogs are treated like family. Guests are welcome throughout the home and can enjoy cozy dog beds, the couch, enrichment toys, tunnels, brush outs, a kiddie pool, a fully fenced yard, and plenty of photo updates during their stay. Dogs are welcome to sleep in bed with me if that’s what they’re used to, or they can be kenneled if that’s their normal routine. Because I have two friendly resident dogs, all boarding and daycare guests must be comfortable around dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and genders. Playgroups are carefully matched based on temperament, play style, size, and energy level. My home is generally best suited for low to medium energy dogs, and I especially love caring for senior pets and laid back personalities. High energy dogs are welcomed on a case by case basis. Safety is always my top priority, so I do have a few requirements before accepting bookings. • Dogs should be potty trained. I completely understand that occasional accidents happen, especially during transitions or with puppies learning routines. However, frequent accidents or ongoing indoor marking may not be the best fit for my home. • Puppies are welcome, but I ask that owners are completely transparent about their current potty training progress and care needs. • Please disclose any bite history, behavioral concerns, previous daycare dismissals, reactivity, resource guarding, destructive habits, separation anxiety, escaping crates, counter surfing, digging, chewing, or other behaviors that may affect their stay. • Dogs displaying normal stress behaviors such as growling, air snaps, baring teeth, or setting boundaries while uncomfortable are not automatically disqualified. However, true aggression toward people or other animals is not accepted. I maintain a zero tolerance policy for aggression within my home. Transparency allows me to safely manage personalities, prevent conflicts, and create the best experience for everyone. Please also let me know whether your dog is kennel trained, whether they need to be crated when left alone, and if they relax well in a kennel or become stressed while confined. Depending on each dog’s behavior and routine, many guests are able to enjoy supervised free roam privileges. Since Rover does not cover damage inside a sitter’s personal home, owners are responsible for any damages caused during a stay. Repair or replacement costs may apply, with a minimum charge of $100 if damage occurs. While my home environment is intentionally structured and carefully managed, I am also comfortable taking on more complex behavioral or medical cases within a client’s home. My care style focuses on structure, enrichment, positive guidance, manners, redirection, safety, and making every dog feel comfortable, confident, and at home. Every routine is individualized because no two dogs are exactly alike. If you’re new to Rover, feel free to use my referral link for $20 off your first booking. NOTE: Rover keeps 20% of sitter earnings while adding approximately 11% in fees to the client. The more I know about your dog’s routine, personality, quirks, anxieties, favorite activities, and individual needs, the better I can tailor their stay. I would always rather know too much than not enough. Thank you so much for taking the time to read through everything and for considering me with your pet’s care. I truly believe great communication creates the safest and most enjoyable experience for everyone, especially your pet. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I never take that responsibility lightly. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I make sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and care throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or administering any special care they need, I prioritize their well-being. I also plan my schedule to allow flexibility for pet sitting, ensuring I can accommodate different needs, whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or drop-ins I have a fully fenced yard and a friendly fur baby to keep your pup company! There are plenty of enrichment toys to keep them busy, along with natural, tasty treats for some extra tail wags. It’s definitely a dog’s world in this household!
“Hannah responded within minutes to my emergency request to walk my dog after I injured my ankle in a fall. She was very accommodating, comfortable with my dog (as he was with her), fun, funny and reliable. FIVE HUNDRED STARS!!! Thank you very much.”
“Leora was so wonderful with Jess, who can be high energy and is generally extra excited to explore the world outside. Leora took her time to say hello for as long as Jess needed and it seemed like they had the most wonderful time together. Will definitely book again! Thank you!”
“Bianca was great! She was so sweet and good with Louie. She showed up on time and communicated with me about how Louie’s walk went and sent the best pictures”
“This is the second week we are using Courtney as our pup daily walker. She has been amazing, super responsible, responsive and made sure our pup gets the best care while in her hands. We highly recommend Courtney!”
About: I have been around animals my entire life and absolutely adore them. Friends and family rely on me to take care of their animals while away and I have plenty of experience feeding, walking, bathing, and playing with various types of dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, horses, and birds. Currently I don’t own any pets of my own and I’m missing their company! I currently am working from home on a lenient schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your furry baby in any capacity. I am extremely respectful of personal belongings and routines if you’re in need of in home care for your animal. I love the outdoors so I’m more than willing to come scoop up your dog for a fun day outside!
About: I have been doing in-home pet care services (walks, drop-in, overnights, transportation) for 4 years, and I have cared for dogs and cats since I was a very young child. I grew up with pets and have had my own personal pets throughout my adult life. I have also volunteered at ARNO (no-kill animal shelter) & have vet tech experience (East Riverside, NOLA). I am currently not working, but am hopeful to have a job soon. While I do not have an outside job, I do have commitments throughout the week, so at the moment I have a lot of time for pet sitting :) I will care for your pets however you prefer. Whatever your needs and wants are, I will respect them. I was brought up with very good manners, so I respect other people's things/homes. I clean up after myself and will respect any rules you may have for me while in your home.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Orleans
Aileen is the best! She has been so kind and patient with my puppy, and has really helped the pup build confidence and a routine. Aileen is knowledgeable and experienced with dogs and really cares. I really appreciate her thorough updates so I know how my pup has been doing. I feel so calm knowing that my pup is in good hands. Can't thank her enough!!
Ellen was absolutely amazing with Jet! From the moment we met her, she was so personable and immediately made us feel completely comfortable leaving him with her for the day while we went to the football game. She sent us the best photo updates throughout the day, which we loved, and when Jet came back to us he was absolutely exhausted — always the sign of a very successful day in Jet’s world 😂. It was obvious he had tons of attention, playtime and fun with her. We would 100% recommend Ellen to anyone looking for someone they can genuinely feel comfortable leaving their pup with. If we’re back in New Orleans again, she will absolutely be the first person we reach out to for Jet!
Scott is fantastic and my GSP Dash loves going for midday walks with him! Scott is conscientious and super responsive. He always sends photos of a happy Dash. We are so grateful for Scott—it’s such a relief to find a responsible, reliable, and patient person to care for Dash when we are away.
Backkyoung has cared for my gaggle of cats and rambunctious dog now a couple of times and has taken great care of them! My house cat has complicated meds and my dog is a puller on walks and sensitive to strangers and Backkyoung has cared for them with ease, sending photos and asking questions whenever needed. Thank you Backkyoung and hopefully my crew will get to see you next time I am out of town !
He has been so amazing with my girls! They absolutely love him and are always so happy and tired after their walks. He’s always on time, super reliable, and I never have to worry when I know he’s taking care of them. I was also injured recently, and he went out of his way to be helpful and make things a little easier for me, which I really appreciated. He’s genuinely kind, dependable, and great with my girls. I’ll definitely keep booking him whenever I can!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your New Orleans. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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 walker.
