“Christina was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond taking care of Noodles and treated him like he was her own. She took him on multiple outings and adventures, sent us tons of photos and updates, and made it so easy to relax knowing he was in such loving hands. It was very clear from the photos—and from how happy he was—that Noodles was having an absolute blast. Beyond being an amazing dog sitter, Christina is just a genuinely delightful, kind human. We would trust her with Noodles again in a heartbeat. Couldn’t recommend her more highly!”

“This was our third time having Katie take care of our dog, Mylo, and she has been consistently wonderful. Her communication is excellent. She’s always helpful, informative, and keeps us updated. Mylo can be on the nervous side when he’s away from home, but he genuinely seems to enjoy his time with her. Katie does everything she can to make him feel comfortable and at home, which gives us great peace of mind. We’re so grateful to have found her and will absolutely continue booking with her.”

About: I’m lucky to come from an animal family. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life - big dogs, small dogs, old dogs, lap cats, moody cats - I’ve loved them all. Recently, my two children and I found ourselves pet free for the first time. I miss having my own full-time furry companion but I also travel regularly for work. I decided to take this opportunity to open my home & heart to your pets. For me and my children, this is a win / win situation. We love caring for animals and we love the joy they bring to our home. We live in a cozy house in mid-city with a fully fenced in yard for dogs who wants to run and sniff and explore. My children, aged 8 & 4, have grown up with pets their whole lives and love participating in the day to day care. They are gentle and know how to approach and interact with animals of all ages and sizes. We’ve hosted dogs and cats in our home and we truly love doing so. I am active and will take your dog for as many walks and/or jogs as they desire. I also have a fenced in yard for those who want to roam and sniff around. I work from home so your pet will have company all day and rarely be left alone. I am available for on-demand walks, scratches and cuddles. I have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats. Before hosting or caring for any pet, I'm happy to meet with you to get to know your unique pet’s needs and temperament. I work from home so I am almost always around to provide on-demand cuddles, scratches, and walks for pets who are staying with us in our home. When caring for your pets in your home, my schedule means I have a lot of flexibility to work around your pet’s unique routine and needs. As a remote worker, I can work from anywhere and can provide extra love, support, and company for pets when their family is out of town. My home is quiet and comfortable with a fully fenced in back yard for dogs who want to run or sniff or feel the sun on their skin. My day to day routine is pretty quiet during this chapter of my life and I enjoy the loving & peaceful company of pets.

She took the time to make her feel welcomed (which is not easy) and by the end of the stay our dog was all hugs and kisses with Lynn (she wouldn’t leave her house!). We’ve actually never seen our dog warm up to anyone outside of immediate family so this is a testament to Lynn’s patience and warmth. We are so incredibly grateful for her care and will book again!”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Back home, I help care for three dogs, and I also have a cat of my own. I’m comfortable with daily walks, feeding, administering medications, playtime, bathing, and handling multiple pets at once. Having pets my entire life has taught me to be patient, attentive, and responsible, and I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own! I’m currently a college student, so my schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting around my class schedule, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m happy to coordinate with pet parents to find times that work best for their pet’s normal routine. I live in a house with a backyard, which gives pets plenty of space to play and get some fresh air. I take pet safety seriously and always follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, and routines. I have experience caring for multiple pets at once and pay close attention to their behavior and interactions. Most importantly, I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and at home.

THE BEST! Shannon is a wonderful, warm, kind, dog-whispering gem! Our very first booking request was for Shannon to care for my senior Goldendoodle for two weeks while I traveled abroad. After our first meeting, I was confident Dixie would be in great hands. Not only did Shannon administer Dixie’s medications and look out for mobility issues, but Shannon also made her feel extra comfy, cozy, and loved in her own home. Lots of photos and sweet updates gave me extra peace of mind, so I could enjoy my trip without worry. Dixie thrived in Shannon’s care! We couldn’t be happier to have met her. :)

As an anxious dog mom who has a dog with a lot of quirks, I would Cree was great with providing me updates, pictures, thorough information about what was going on and really eased any of the anxiety that I probably would’ve had with other sitters. Definitely will be using again, I was really able to be at peace of mind during my much needed night off.

Leaving Bentley with Kate and Conor felt like having a friend take care of him! Bentley was immediately comfortable with them. Kate was attentive to all of Bentley’s care needs. Bentley wasn’t even that excited to see me when I picked him up, which always tells me when he feels right at home with his sitter. Highly recommend and will definitely be rebooking!

Thank you so much for have patience with our girl! She didn’t have a good first boarding experience and since then we’ve been lucky enough to have friends/family wanting to keep her. So when we went on a family trip we had no clue what to do 😂 the updates were helpful and helped me relax that she was in good hands.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - New Orleans

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in New Orleans on Rover is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $61 per night. 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.

There are 525 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in New Orleans. About 92% of New Orleans sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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 .

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 .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
