About: Family and friends have trusted me to take care of their fur babies and homes while they're away, by keeping up with their pets' routines and caring for them like they're my own. I bring a calming energy that animals easily take to. I currently care for both dogs and cats. I'm currently in between jobs and doing sitting for friends and family. I have a lot of free time around appointments to provide care, check-ins, and sittings for your pets! While caring for pets at a clients home, I ensure that the pets stay on their routine and get lots of love. I provide reliable care for not only pets but also the homes.

About: I grew up around dogs and cats and love all furry friends! Love giving pets, scratches, and playing with furry friends. And most importantly… cuddling! I’m currently working on getting my master’s for social work so I only work part time and go to school online. I’m available on weekends and most of the day on Tuesdays and Fridays if I don’t have to drop off/pick up my mom from work. I am very attentive with pets, giving them attention, pets and cuddles. I work with autistic children so my reflexes are quick and I am always paying attention!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child. I grew up with a lot of dogs and have recent experience with a cat of my own! I have extensive knowledge with dogs, especially puppies, and with potty training/training them. I also have knowledge of senior pets and have taken care of a few in the past. I also have experience with rescue animals, all of my own animals have been rescued. I have watched several dogs over the years and absolutely love it. I have many animals of my own including a Collie/Lab mix, Shih tzu, Husky/German shepherd mix and a tabby cat! I promise to provide the utmost care/love for your fur babies and treat them as my own! I’m currently a college student about to apply to nursing school, taking online courses currently so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am available Monday-Sunday at any available time for any needs you may need for your pet which includes walking, potty breaks, and meal time. To ensure the safety of your pet, I can safely crate if needed. I will also make sure that your pet is closely monitored at all times, adhere to their feeding/walking schedules, and separate animals safely if needed. I also know basic first aid for pets if something were ever to happen to your pet!

“Kayla took excellent care of our 2 kitties (one senior cat and a 2-year-old cat) while we were out of town for 10 days for our wedding. She made sure they were fed twice a day and played with, and she sent photo updates after each visit. We knew our 2 cats were in excellent hands while we were away. Not only did she take fantastic care of our cats, she also made sure we returned home to a neat apartment. We also came home to find an incredibly sweet card to congratulate us on our recent wedding.”

“Diane did a fantastic job watching my cat and feeding my fish for a weeklong trip! She gave great updates with photos and kept him very good company!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was almost old enough to walk. I majored in Biology at Loyola and also work with a local animal rescue! I’ve always had animals in the house, and have three cats. I help bathe, feed, and walk my parent’s dogs almost every day when I go visit them. During the summer, I take them to the dog park and they absolutely love it. I am a local teacher at an elementary school! I am available every single day, mostly afternoons and nights. During the school day is the only time I’m unavailable! I love playing with dogs and making sure they feel well loved. Crate training and potty training are specialties of mine! I love to go on long walks too.

About: Hi! I’m Kaylee, a student at Loyola University New Orleans, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve had a variety of pets throughout my life, including dogs and cats. I have over 4 years of experience caring for animals and officially began offering pet-sitting services through Rover this summer. As a college student, my availability is based around my class schedule, and I’m available to pet sit whenever I don’t have classes. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that gives your pet the attention and care they need while you’re away! I offer drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting throughout the New Orleans area. I care for pets of all personalities and make sure their individual routines, feeding instructions, walks, playtime, and other needs are followed closely! As a student at Loyola University New Orleans, I structure my daily routine around pet care visits, walks, and house sitting. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate specific times throughout the morning, midday, afternoon, and evening for drop-ins and walks. For house sitting, I base myself directly at your home to ensure consistent supervision, evening companionship, and adherence to your pet’s exact routine. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is maintaining their normal environment and daily habits to keep them relaxed and stress-free. I strictly follow all owner instructions, including meal portioning, fresh water refills, walking routes, and medication schedules. I keep living areas clean, secure the home upon entry and exit, and send clear photo and text updates during every visit so you always have full peace of mind.

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and some of the greatest loves of my life have had four paws. I had my sweet cat, Henry, for four wonderful years before he passed away, and for the last three years I helped raise and care for an adorable Goldendoodle who now lives with her other pet parent. I don’t currently have a fur baby of my own, so I genuinely love getting the chance to care for other people’s pets. I’ve also spent years pet sitting for friends and family, and I know how much trust it takes to leave someone you love in another person’s care. I’m affectionate, attentive, dependable, and probably the person who will be talking to your pet like we’re old friends within five minutes. Whether they love long walks, playtime, belly rubs, couch cuddles, or just having a calm human nearby, I’m happy to give them all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. I’m a full-time, stay-at-home writer, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to give your fur baby lots of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I love having a furry companion join me for my morning and evening walks. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority. I only board pets from one household at a time, so your fur baby gets plenty of individual attention and a calm, secure environment without unfamiliar pets coming and going. I have a large fenced-in yard for supervised outdoor time, and I’m also walking distance from a beautiful large park that’s perfect for longer walks and exploring. I have a dog crate available for crate-trained pups, and I’m happy to follow your usual feeding, walking, sleeping, and household routines so your pet feels as comfortable and at home as possible while you’re away.

“Christina was so kind to Shavani and so wonderful at keeping him company and eating on schedule. Would absolutely recommend!!!!”

About: Hi! I am a current LSU dental student who loves animals. I currently have 3 pups of my own and have grown up taking care of both dogs and cats my whole life! I would love to get to know your fur baby :) I am a current dental student but am more than happy to take care of your fur baby throughout the day! I would love to discuss scheduling and times with you! I have 3 dogs of my own and a fenced back yard! I walk them on a leash and harness often and will always make sure they are safe!

About: Hi my name is Josh! I recently moved back to New Orleans from Scottsdale Arizona. Its definitely a different kind of heat here, but I prefer it! Something you may find that separates me from others is the energy I bring to the table. It will have your dogs wanting more time with me! I have been a dog owner for many years as well as many breeds, and have gotten to enjoy the lasting relationships you build with them. I love being outdoors whether its playing soccer or working in my garden, and both are even better with more animals around! I look forward to meeting you and your beloved animals and thank you in advance for choosing to have me as a part of their life! Currently have a lot of availability and flexibility to make your pets my priority! I love getting outdoors and taking dogs on walks and playing with cats providing them the enrichment they need! I’ve got two cats and a wonderful dog that could possibly keep your animals company but also have the kennels and rooms available to separate them! The animals are my top priority!

“First time using Rover and Renee did not disappoint. She provided great communication every day and sent pictures of each drop-in visit. Krieger can be somewhat anxious in new situations, but he took to Renee immediately. She went above expectations by taking him for a walk (which he absolutely LOVES) each time she came over. You can tell by the pictures that he was quite content. Would definitely use Renee again in the future.”

About: Hi, I'm Olivia! I’m that neighbor you see petting every dog that will allow it. I moved to New Orleans three years ago and have loved getting to know the city. And while I don’t have a pet of my own right now, I’m always looking for an excuse to hang out with someone else’s. I’m always up for a good, long walk, but just as happy to couch potato-it and hang at home. I know that caring for an animal means more than just keeping them fed and walked. It’s making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their favorite person is away. Whether your pet needs a playmate or just a buddy to pass the time, I’m more than happy to meet them where they are. I promise to always treat your pet like my own and that I'll do my best to make them feel right at home. Looking forward to meeting you both! As a remote freelancer, my schedule is super flexible, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve! I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine, whether that means morning and afternoon walks, playtime, or keeping them company throughout the day. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel good knowing your furry friend is in good hands while you’re away. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m happy to get outside for leashed walks and potty breaks, always keeping your dog’s safety in mind. In your home, I’ll do my best to stick to your pet’s usual routine and follow any instructions you share around feeding, walks, medications, or crating. I want your pet to feel comfortable, safe, and cared for, and, again, I'm always happy to communicate and send updates while you’re away!

About: I’ve taken care of 2 Belgian Malinois for 5 years where I’ve had to administer medication, train, switch up diet planning, and do basic grooming. I currently own a betta fish and red eared slider turtle due to renting restrictions. I currently work part time at 2 different jobs, however I can make my own schedule at both. I’m also a full time RN student, but we do have summer breaks. My schedule does fluctuate, however I am usually available consistently early mornings and in the evening time every day. My schedule will reflect when I am available. I’ve worked with multiple high maintenance that require lots of activity throughout the day, so my check ins are more in depth with feeding, potty time, and play time. I also understand boundaries, and rituals, as I’ve spent lots of time with pets of different ages and activity levels.
