“Aura cared for our 16 yr old cat for over a week. Our cat needed several daily medications and a complicated food regimen which she was able to handle without any difficulty. Our cat also seemed to "bond" with her and she provided pictures of our kitty happily settled on her lap during visits. She clearly has a great affection for the pets she cares for which put my mind at ease while we were away.”
“Ellen was so attentive and loving to my girl while I was away. Spent time giving her love and attention as well as taking care of her feeding / walking needs. She was super attentive and gave lots of picture updates too. Would definitely book again.”
“was very good and very communicative with me about Chloe. Will definitely rebook, she always sends pictures and expresses her concerns about Chloe if she noticed an unusual behavior. Thank you Kelly!”
“Elizabeth was prompt with her visits and reports. She made me feel secure about being away from Tula. Everything was in order when we returned. I would trust her to check on her again if needed.”
“Angela provided excellent care for Lola. She is highly professional, with excellent communication, and an obviously passionate dog person. Highly recommend.”
About: I work from home which gives me the flexibility for lots of doggie potty breaks and long walks (plus ample pets of course). I enjoy all animals--I grew up with dogs, cats, gerbils, and even snakes, so I have no issue caring for (or feeding) any type of pet. Currently I have a Great Pyrenees/Irish Wolfhound named Dolly who is the queen of the neighborhood and the sweetest girl, and a Texas backroads special lab-mix named Duck who could play all day. They both love other dogs of all sizes, and are respectful of cues from other dogs. I worked at a vet clinic a few years ago which taught me a lot about animal injury/illness care and gave a handy direct phone line to multiple doctors! I would love to hangout with your pet anytime. Since I work from home, pet care is pretty central to my daily routine. The dogs run the house. Since my property is fenced in and separate front and back, I am able to leave my back door open all day allowing free access to the yard and the covered back patio. It's a big hit with sunbathing pups. I work from home full time and typically only leave for 3 hours max at a time. I have two playful dogs that love other animals (seriously all animals) and are always happy to have a friend come stay over. I have a fenced in backyard that is separated from the front of my house so I am able to keep the back door open during the day to allow free access to the yard. My couch is typically a fan-favorite of dog guests, there's plenty of space and pillows to curl up against.
“Bianca was great! She made a real effort with my kitties while I was gone for about 2 weeks. They played a lot, loved getting brushed and got many treats. Bianca left my house clean, all litter changed and swept up. During the visit, our keypad battery started giving a "low battery signal," Bianca let us know, and offered to change it. I provided directions and she was able to figure it out seemslely and change the batteries at the next visit to prevent any distribution to kitty care. She watered our plants, too! Would recommend Bianca for your cat sitting needs.”
About: I have been a dog owner for 10 years and grew up with three precious labs. I currently have my own golden retriever and work from home so I love having the company of animals. Just doing this because I love animals and it’s fun! I am an architect and interior designer, operating my own studio. I leave occasionally throughout the day for an hour or so but work full-time from home my normal routine is a morning lunch in the afternoon walk. I can have pets at my house or come throughout the day to walk them at theirs. Very flexible and willing to adjust my schedule to fit in whatever pups needs are necessary! I do have my own golden retriever. He is extremely friendly. However, if your dog is not friendly, it is better for me to come to them as mine is at my home. I live in the warehouse district nearby multiple parks. I also have a 40 foot long balcony so pups can access the outdoors all day long.
“Caitlin is great with our cat, Lola. Lola can be nervous at times but she always looks forward to seeing Caitlin. Caitlin is reliable and always provides detailed updates about Lola.”
About: Pets, cats and dogs specifically, have been an important part of my life since childhood — one of the best parts of life! My first cat, Merlin, lived to the overly ripe age of 20, and I now have a puuuuurrrrfect house tabby and a crazy old hound dog. Over the years, I’ve adopted and nurtured, rescued, fostered — been scratched, bitten, peed on, and cleaned up who knows how many different types of bodily fluids! It’s always worth the effort. I even worked for a veterinary clinic in my earlier career. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not knew to helping friends and family with their pets when they’ve needed temporary care or expertise with health, grooming, or behavior. Young or old, small or large, lazy or crazy — I take everyone as they come and am happy to extend patience, comfort, and playfulness as required. I’m not averse to health issues, so I’m happy to specialize in senior care. I currently work full-time, regular daytime hours Monday through Friday, so during the week, I’m available for early morning or early-to-late evening drop-ins and walks. Weekends are much more flexible as needed. For drop-ins or daily walks, I cater to your pet’s specific needs while respecting your personal home or work environment. I'm super flexible and am happy to work with whatever instruction you provide to ensure your pet has the stability and comfort that keeps them happy while their person is away.
“Erica obviously loves animals and kept our cats and chickens happy and healthy. Wonderful updates allowed us to enjoy our travels absolutely worry free. Absolutely recommend.”

“Christina is the best! I know that three dogs can intimidate most people but her gentle and understanding attitude put my babies at ease instantly upon meeting. She shared many pictures with me of my babies and you could tell that they were comfortable and happy with her company. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I am a pet owner and a animal lover. I have experience with caring for dogs as well as cats. I own a Rottweiler, everybody should know how high maintenanced and how high in energy they are. Knowing that I can handle him with no ease, caring for your dog will be a beeze!!! I have worked with many animals and I am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. Growing up I've always volunteered at many animal shelters. I am an energetic undergraduate student at Jackson State University with a flexible schedule. I live with a family of five who also love pets. Your dog will get plenty of excercise. I am very flexible especially during the weekends. BOOK ME, I look forward to meeting your pets! Because I have the responsibility of making sure another dog is cared for! Enough food, water and necessities! I go above and beyond for dogs because they can’t talk to us so why not be attentive to them in every way possible I care for pets as if they’re were my own. I would expect the same care and attention for my dog from others if I were not around so I have no choice but to provide that to others dogs! Dogs/ cats are the greatest gift we could ever have asked for so I believe in treating them with love and care.
About: Growing up with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs, I have a wide array of pet care experience for animal friends large and small. Frequent dogwalker and pet-sitter with extensive knowledge of care practices. I am a remote worker and student in my day-to-day life, so I can frequently care for pets in my off-time in between classes and while working at home. I will be open in my communication about any issues or special needs that pets will need and trust that clients will communicate any special needs to me.
About: From Chihuahuas to Mastiffs, I've loved and cared for them all. I'm a responsible, genuine, and caring dog sitter living in New Orleans. I’m 34 years old and have been taking care of of other peoples pets since I was in high school. With enough notice in advance, I prefer to get time off from my other jobs, so I can be completely focused on taking care of your precious fur family, but can also be available last minute if needed. I'm used to being responsible for medications and dogs with special needs, whether they be physical, medical, or dogs who have experienced abusive pasts. I've never met an animal that I haven't connected and bonded with. I’ve taken care of deaf, blind, and other physically handicapped pets. Thank you so much for looking at my profile and considering me. I work part time at a restaurant so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies at your home. I always communicate my work schedule with my clients. I do prefer to come stay at your place while you are away. Dogs are always feel more comfortable and feel more safe in their own home.
“Marisa is my dog sitter from before she was on Rover and to this day my go-to for the care of my beloved pets. She does well with my big rottweiler mix clementine who is quirky as well as my Chihuahua Enyo who has very refined tastes in humans. Marisa has cared for my dogs for long and short stays (times when I was out of the country for months) and has cared for my older lady as she was on a complicated daily medicine regiment with no issues. I literally could not reccomend anyone more highly for your pet care needs. I don't know what I'd do without her help!!!”
About: Foster dog mom and dog sitter. Recently lost my beagle and miss pup time. I treat my friend’s dogs like my own and they actually encouraged me to start a profile. I like walking and don’t mind slow sniffers. I’m aware of squirrels and cats in my neighborhood and avoid them when necessary. I work full time but have availability evenings and weekends. Looking forward to long walks, tails wagging while sniffing and again meeting daily step goals. I have a small backyard and shotgun house which I own. I can crate if necessary but if your fur baby is trustworthy, I’m happy to let him or her free range guard my house during the day. The window facing the street is typically pretty entertaining. I got rid of my dog camera when Maggie passed away but may set an iPad up, again. Meet n Greets prior to a stay is a must, my foster dog is dog-shy at first but loves people.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Orleans
Daphne has a rather unique ability to roll with the punches of New Orleans life and also provide consistent care and attention to detail. Undeterred by weather and an unpredictable alarm system, she consistently arrives with her focus on my cats. Highly recommend A+++
Angela is fantastic! She is reliable, super friendly, and flexible. She took care of our little menagerie perfectly while we were away. It takes such a load off to know that the pets are cared for by someone we trust while we are travelling. We loved getting the pictures every day!
Caroline is absolutely amazing! She stopped by to let the dogs out and feed them, and even took the time to wash the dishes, which was not even part of her drop in. She always goes above and beyond, and it’s clear she genuinely cares. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my babies are in such good hands. I can’t recommend her enough!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in New Orleans is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 per visit. On Rover, 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.
As of November 2026, there are 1,190 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across New Orleans. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in New Orleans. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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 sitter.
