“Kenneth watched my dog nova for a day and overnight when I went to a Mardi Gras parade and I can’t be more pleased. First off it was last minute and during Mardi Gras nonetheless so it was very challenging to find someone, Kenneth made it easy and responded to my request almost immediately. I was able to drop nova off and felt like I left her in good hands. Kenneth sent me lots of videos and photos during his time with nova which was also super appreciated. And finally when I was an hour late picking her up because I lost my keys and had to wait on a locksmith, he didn’t mind. Overall if I could give 6 stars I would and if I need a dog sitter in New Orleans again I know who to ask. Thanks so much Kenneth!”
“Michelle is an absolute blessing for both the dogs and humans in my family! Constant contact and tons of play time. She took amazing care of my elderly (incontinent) Juju this winter and my non-geriatric dogs had a blast with her ... and came home happy, energetic, well-loved and well-fed—not our experience with traditional boarding. I’d give her a million-star review if I could.”
“Awesome. We love sending our dog to stay with Erin and Robin, because we know that she is safe and happy the whole time. They have an amazing property that any dog would enjoy--a big lawn, woods, even a stream to play in. These ladies are our FIRST choice, every single time we need doggy care.”
“Great experience! Jackie is amazing at handling our dogs and making them feel right at home. Really helped us out when we hit some travel delays, which we super appreciated! Would 💯% leave my fur children there again.”
“Dex was very sweet to my girls especially Raven, my shy girl. They were very patient with her and provided her with the comfort needed for Raven to get comfortable. My girls were treated like family with Dex, and that is all I can ask for. This was my first time leaving my girls with a stranger rather than family, and I was very nervous. Dex has melted away those nerves. I plan on using their services again for another upcoming trip.”
“Rosemary did a fantastic job taking care of my dog while I was away for the week. I really liked that she was sending me pictures and updates that let me know he was making himself right at home at Rosemary’s place. You can tell that Rosemary is a good person and really cares for animals. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would. I won’t hesitate to reach out to her the next time I need someone to take care of my pup.”
“This was our first time using Rover and we couldn't have been happier than to have met Tessa. We were gone for 11 days and she was extremely flexible and accommodating when it came to picking up our dog watching him for an extended period of time and also communicating clearly how things might work out in the event that we face some thing like a hurricane which is not uncommon to have Kern over the time period that we were gone”
About: I have always taken care of animals my whole life. I’m a true caregiver, putting the animals needs above everything else. I also work from home, and have a flexible schedule to give the best individualized care to each animal. I set my own schedule during the week, which allows me to spend real quality time with your animal. I work from home, and I have flexible availability. I pay close attention to the animal’s needs. I make sure they are entertained if they need to burn off energy, and have water and a comfy spot if they need to rest. I have decades of experience taking care of all different types and ages of animals with special needs.
“Gail was so sweet and our baby had the best time with her and made life long friends!! We appreciate Gail so much she was really helpful about telling us everything going on and sending lots of videos ! We will use her again :)”
“Wendy was absolutely wonderful. She above and beyond to make sure that Luna was comfortable in her care, and she is so knowledgeable about dogs and how to make them feel truly at home. This was Luna’s first stay with someone she hadn’t met before and I am so grateful for Wendy’s care, attention, love, and updates. We would stay with her again in a heartbeat. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”
About: I grew up on a farm with many pets and dogs. I have cared for dogs that have needed injections, special diets, and that special attention. I do have 2 corgis so for any boarding in my house it is important that your furry best friend likes other dogs and an initial introduction is paramount for a long term stay. I have an enclosed yard and a doggie door. I am more than happy to also care for dog IN YOUR HOME where pups are most comfortable. Love doing walkies and visits. Been caring and loving pets forever. I work for myself and set my own hours as an administrative assistant and a care giver. I have lots of flexibility. I can adjust my schedule as needed. I have a fenced in yard, a doggie door but I am happy to do walking if that is your pets preference. My corgis are great with other dogs in their space.

“Lisa and Gizzy took great care of our Charlie! He can be a nervous nelly, but they put him at ease quickly as if he was part of the family from day one. Pics and updates were sent regularly. We are so grateful to have found you as Charlie’s home away from home!”
“Quiana was GREAT with Saint James! Saint took to her immediately and they enjoyed each other. I appreciated all the updates and check-ins. I usually am a little anxious when I leave her with anyone, even family who she was raised with, but somehow I knew I didn’t have to worry at all and I didn’t. Quiana is definitely family now, so we’ll be back!”
“I felt so comfortable leaving my pup with Alexa. She sent me daily updates and even added a last minute pickup since I was worried about missing my flight! I would definitely book with her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Orleans
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!
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!
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.

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 .
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.
