“Tucker loved staying at Ashley’s house and playing with Opal! Thanks for the great pictures and taking great care of Tucker Ashley! He will be back!”
“Etta Rachelle was very communicative, friendly and wonderful with my Kit! Absolutely loved getting to take home Kit’s “Art project.” Definitely recommend Etta Rachelle to anyone in the New Orleans area!”
“Chayanne was amazing! Huey who is normally very shy, instantly felt at home. He had a nice relaxing weekend napping with Missy. Will definitely use again!”
About: What sets me apart is that I don’t simply “check in” on your fur babies; I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their individual personalities, routines, and needs. I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including regular and extended care while their families travel. For the past six years, I’ve been consistently trusted to care for pets when Dad and Mom go away on frequent trips, including stays of more than 30 days. I’m comfortable administering medications, staying at your residence, accommodating specific dietary needs and feeding schedules, maintaining established routines, regular walks and exercise, litter care, playtime, and, of course, plenty of companionship and affection. And please, give me ALL the instructions! You can leave me a legitimate PowerPoint presentation about your baby, and I will happily follow it to a T. 😂 I know every pet has their own routine, favorite things, quirks, boundaries, and very specific ways they like things done. (I’m a Virgo, so I know meticulous details. 😂) I’d much rather know every little detail so I can keep their world as familiar and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I will also send you pictures and updates to provide you with peace of mind. I’m patient with shy or cautious animals, attentive to changes in behavior, and happy to adapt to different personalities, ages, and energy levels. Whether your baby needs long walks and playtime, is a workout nut (to keep me in shape, too 😂), needs extra attention, wants a cuddle buddy, or needs someone who understands that affection happens strictly on THEIR terms, I’ll follow their lead. Most importantly, I understand that you’re trusting me with a member of your family and, often, your home as well. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your babies are safe, your home is safe, and your babies are comfortable, loved, and having a pretty great time with their favorite auntie, while you take care of whatever needs your attention, without having to stress about what’s happening back at home. 🐾❤️ I have a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to easily incorporate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. Whether your baby needs early morning or evening walks, scheduled feedings, medication at specific times, regular check-ins, playtime, or simply someone around to keep them company, I can adjust my schedule around their needs. I’m also available for overnight and extended stays in your home, which allows your pets to remain comfortable in their own environment and maintain the routine they’re already used to. Since my schedule has flexibility, I’m happy to spend quality time with your babies rather than rushing in and out. 🐾❤️ When caring for pets in my home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, walks, exercise, litter care, playtime, bedtime routines, and all of those little details that make your baby feel safe and at home. We spend most of the day together, so they are not alone for long periods of time if I have to run off to check on another baby. I’m happy to stay overnight and spend quality time with your pets rather than simply popping in and out if you prefer. I’ll give them the level of attention and affection THEY are comfortable with, whether that means lots of cuddles and companionship, plenty of activity, or giving a shy kitty their space until they decide I’ve earned their approval. 😂 I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give mine. I’ll keep things tidy, clean as needed, and secure, and send you regular pictures and updates. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing that both your babies and your home are being genuinely cared for. 🐾
“Anna took great care of our dog Rex! She sent daily updates, and I know Rex enjoyed his time with her adorable Corbin :) Anna was flexible with drop off and pickup times and offered to pickup extra food for Rex. I will definitely reach out again!”
“This was my first time leaving my baby alone with someone and Brittany was the perfect sitter! She treated Soulja like family, checked on him constantly and made sure to keep me posted with updates. I can’t wait for him to go over again.”
About: I have welcomed dogs into my family for the past 25 years living in New Orleans, and have loved caring for them as they have certainly cared for me too! I work from home most days of the week and am rarely gone for more than a few hours for in-person meetings. I provide lots of walks along the greenway and time in my fenced yard too. I have toys for stimulation such as puzzles and can play hide and seek with toys, treats, and me! I am happy to continue implementing your schedule and use your key words and phrases to maintain training while your pup is with me. I also enjoy taking my dog Conor to City Bark where he plays with other dogs and gets a nice bath. I am happy to bring your dog there too if they are able to go. I work from home and occasionally take meetings out of my house. Those usually are not more than a few hours. Once a week I go into my office from 8-4 but come home at lunch to walk my dog Conor. I have three boys that are in school who live with me every other week. I do a school drop off and pick up every other week for one of them around 7:15 am and again around 3:00 pm. I keep my dog on a predictable schedule of feeding and walks and provide toys for stimulation. I always keep fresh water available both inside and outside so that they are not dehydrated.
“Evlin is so kind and caring, she is wonderful with our dog. She treats her like her own dog and sends frequent updates. Our dog loves going to stay with her!”
“I highly recommend Cheyenne as a pet sitter! Satchmo just stayed with her for two nights, and she was absolutely amazing with him. He was dealing with some nerves, but she was incredibly patient, worked right through his issues, and helped him completely relax. She also sent great photos throughout his stay to keep me updated, which I really appreciated. I couldn't be happier with the care she provided!”
“Ayanna was an incredible sitter for our small dog Jackson for 4 days. She happily came to our house multiple times a day to feed, walk and play with him while sending us the best videos and updates about everything Jackson did during the day. He was so happy (and tired!) when we got home. Highly, highly recommend Ayanna as a loving and caring Rover who treated our fur baby like her own.”
“Katherine and Ethan took wonderful care of our large lab George while we were away for almost a week. Their two dogs kept George busy and provided plenty of company. We look forward to leaving our large fur baby with them in the future!”
“Really great sitter my dogs love to stay here and there is constant communication to leave your mind at ease. My dogs have a problem with anxiety and Dalia really helps them feel safe and comfortable.”
“My two fur babies enjoyed their visit with Ms Michelle, who took excellent care of them. I had peace of mind while we were away from them knowing she was watching them.”
“We're extremely pleased with how our experience with Stacey went! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter! Thanks again, we plan on acquiring your services in the future. :) ”
“I felt so safe leaving my baby with Mrs. D! She is a true animal whisperer. I know that my pup got the same love that she gives her own animals and I found that so comforting. My Santiago got plenty of exercise and I got pictures and videos sent to me while I was working. I will definitely leave my baby with her again in the future. Thank you again 🥰”
“Great experience! Our dog was so well taken care of, and it was obvious she got lots of love and attention. I really appreciated the updates and pictures while I was away, and even got a sweet report card! I came back to a happy pup, and we’ll definitely be using her again!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for dogs of all sizes with varying needs. I am happy to assist in maintaining training routines and can be flexible with work to meet your pet’s needs. I work for a nonprofit that allows work from home, so I can be flexible in order to meet your pet’s needs. I won’t commit to being your sitter unless I am confident I will be able to support you and your pet. I am available weekends. I want to help your pet feel as supported as possible, including any parts of your routine that you feel are important. I am happy to go over your pet’s needs with you and want to make sure I can provide the best care for them.
“Ben made sure our beagle was comfortable and well taken care during our first time using Rover. I was nervous given our dog’s health issues, anxiety, and medication needs, but Ben was so calm and reassuring! Our dog seemed to have a blast, and we are so relieved to have found an alternative to boarding. We will definitely be using Ben going forward any time we need care for our dog!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in New Orleans is $40

I highly recommend Cheyanne! She took care of my two young cats with perfection from start to finish. From the beginning, she was wonderfully responsive to all of my questions and concerns, immediately putting my mind at ease. She provided loving care and sent daily updates on how my kittens were doing, which made being away so much easier. It is clear that Cheyanne is a true animal lover who genuinely cares for the pets in her charge. I would trust her with my pets anytime and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for attentive, loving pet care!
Ashley was great with Gracie! This was our first time using Rover and working with Ashley! She was very responsive and sent updates including pictures! Gracie had a blast with Ashley and the other dogs! We will definitely use Ashley again! In fact, we have already booked her again! Thanks for everything Ashley!
Ellen was a lifesaver for us. We made a last minute decision to travel to NOLA and had to scramble for a sitter at 10pm. Ellen responded immediately. I dropped off our dog the next morning and received multiple photos throughout the day. You can tell that Ellen loves animals and I was immediately at ease leaving my dog with a total stranger. Definitely recommend Ellen!
Caroline did an amazing job watching Tupelo! She was highly prepared, asked a bunch of questions, and was super attentive to our dog’s needs. We were out of town for almost two weeks and everything went smoothly. We got pictures and/or updates a couple of times per day, and Tupelo looked like she was having a better time on vacation than we were 😂 We highly recommend Caroline and have already planning Tupelo’s next stay with her!
This was our second booking with Natalie and it was just as great as the first! In fact our girl jogged to the door, walked right in and made herself at home on the couch. That speaks volumes for her comfort level and mine. Natalie encountered a little taste of Gigi’s more anxious side when a thunderstorm rolled in but she knew just how to keep her at ease and all was well. Again, we were provided with multiple pics and updates, allowing us to also rest easy knowing Gigi was in more than capable hands.
Elvin is simply AMAZING !!! We have been with her for about two years now off and on when we leave town. Our sweet little Benny loves to go there because Elvin showers her with love and affection. We have used other sitters in the past, but none have compared to Elvin. Highly recommend!!
Regina is the best sitter we have found on Rover. She is caring and communicative, responsible and responsive. She watches one dog at a time, and we love knowing our pup is getting one-on-one care. She texts regular photos and updates, which we appreciate. Highly recommend!
Stacy is literally the best!! I am always nervous to leave Gigi with anyone however I really needed a sitter this time, so I put my trust into Stacy and she made me so comfortable! She’s very nice, her apt is clean, she sends plenty of pics and videos to update you on the stay and it truly shows that she loves animals. I will be having Stacy sit Gigi any time in need. Thanks for taking care of Gigi!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in New Orleans on Rover is $43.29 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 527 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in New Orleans. About 90% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.
