“Rachel and Mike have taken great care of Leo and Ellie both times they’ve had them! We’re so happy we’ve found someone who we know they’re in good in hands with!”
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.
“She's great! She helped socialize my boy with the other doggos staying there and gave him a bath and a nail trim before he came home! He's tuckered out from a great little vacation.”
“We were extremely lucky to find Evlin on Rover when we were staying in New Orleans for our vacation. She knows dogs very well and takes great care of them. She did a wonderful job with our dog for two days and made us comfortable from starting from the first phone call to the pick-up. She sent many pictures to us while she was taking care of our dog to let us know that he is in good hands. I would recommend her to anyone with a small to medium dog, especially if you are stopping by New Orleans and in need of quick and trustworthy help. If there was a 10 star option, I would have left a 10 out of 10. Thanks Evlin!”
“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!”
“Natasha was great! Easy and fast communication, lots of pictures of a happy dog when we were out of town. When our flights got delayed coming home, she was able to watch our dog for an unexpected additional half day, no problem. Would definitely recommend booking with Natasha as a dog sitter!”
“Rachelle is an absolute gem!!! She is a very loving and attentive caregiver. You can just tell how much she loves animals. My Noche was 'at home' the moment we letting out of his cat carrier. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“This was our first time boarding Hunter. I was nervous at first because we’ve never left him with anyone before, but Jas made me feel comfortable and at peace. We appreciated the pictures. Thank you Jas for caring for our Hunter!”
“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.”
About: I've spent my whole life around animals— dogs, cats, snakes, spiders, bunnies, and hamsters. Whether it's a big ol puppy or a senior cat, I’ve cared for them with love and attention. Being with animals comes naturally from a lifetime of training, and I treat every pet like my own. Be prepared for a new nickname for your pet. I work at a business in the French quarter and my schedule is flexible. I can take a long lunch in order to check on pets. I follow all instructions and act as if I'm being watched by the owner in the moment. I was a residential housecleaner for over a decade and appreciated supervision.
About: Mine was a dog family. My parents showed Chow Chows and Bichon Frisés at dog shows around the country with me in tow as a junior handler grooming, training, and caring for our dogs. In college, rather than wait tables, I worked as a kennel assistant and then as a veterinarian assistant during post-grad, spending weekends caring for medical boarders, administering meds and keeping lonely, isolated dogs company. I’m a deeply attached and passionate rescue advocate and animal-lover. My pets have all been mostly large, lovable mixed-breed dogs and second-chance stories like Betsey. Professionally, I have 20+ years of experience as a copywriter and creative strategist. Before starting Betsey & Julie Walk Dogs, I spent the past year as a Dog Handler at Pawlins Day Care — under the tutelage of all kinds of dogs. I’m a freelance writer and I work from home. I share this home with Betsey, an incredibly sweet five-year-old Labrador Retriever. I’m available and actively involved in your dog’s enrichment and overall experience. I’m active and attentive. Betsey and I are affectionate and accommodating. We love walks, parks, toys, treats, and cuddling. We think your dog will love spending time with us.
“They were great and very accommodating. My return flight ended up being delayed by like 2 hours and they were very gracious about the situation. I will definitely be using Stacy 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've walked dogs in Dallas, Tx for three years. I've been taking care of my own dog since moving here to New Orleans. Love all kinds of dogs. I'm recently retired and looking for some extra income. I love all kinds of dogs big or small and their individual personalities. I'm also a long time cat owner and love them as well. I would like to offer my service to stay at your home with your pet. I will feed, adminster medicine, walk, and groom your pet.
“Robin was more than AMAZING !!!!! she spoiled my babies with walks and snuggles and lots and lots of love !!!!! I got countless updates and pictures and videos !!! She was just all around amazing . Will be using her forever and ever !!!!!”
“Lynn took such great care of our dog Lucy! She has an awesome large fenced in yard and our girl looked so happy in all the pics and videos that were sent throughout the week. Will definitely go to Lynn again and highly recommend her!”
About: Our family had dogs as a kid, but I’ve been sold provider for a dog since 1999 with my first dog a catahoula named Ophelia When I work, I work from home. I have a three bedroom house in case my kids ever visit from out of town. Offense backyard and I take my dog Jax to the dog park on a daily basis. I live near the Freret corridor and we walk at least once or twice a day. I have a dog door to the backyard so the animals will have access to Pee anytime. Ample water and food as needed. I’m capable of giving medicine and shots and of course plenty of treats. My dog is a sofa dog. If you have different rules I can abide by them. Just need to be specific.

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!
Cheyenne was fabulous with Jax! Very responsive to communication, flexible, and reliable! Although it was a short notice booking she made me feel very comfortable in leaving him with her for three nights. She sent pictures throughout and updates on their activities each day. Definitely recommend and would use again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in New Orleans on Rover is $43.87 per night (as of August 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 511 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in New Orleans. About 91% 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.
