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!
“Christina was an unexpected treasure! We were nervous about getting a stranger to take care of our three cats. My sister had to cancel unexpectedly. She communicated clearly each day and sent lots of pics and comments. She will definitely be at the very top of our list when we need a cat sitter again. Her love of animals comes through in all the comments she makes during her visits. We could not have been more pleased and grateful for her caregiving!!”
“Was able to do two last minute drop ins for me when other plans fell through. Was very responsive, flexible, and kept me very well informed. Was even kind enough to clean up after my dogs when they made a mess. Would recommend her to anyone!!!”
“Ayanna is a true blessing. She was extremely helpful and flexible with our travel plans, and made sure to take extra care of our little guy. She’s the real deal and will absolutely be using her again for our next travel. Thank you Ayanna!”
About: Hi! I have had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. My father has been an K-9 offices for years, so I have been around and handled powerful, athletic dogs all my life. I have always had big dogs, and have taken care of neighbor’s dogs as a side job when I was in high school. I am now in school to be a Veterinary Technician and own a pit bull and a tripod cat! I can give your pet a wonderful stay wether they are active or more of a couch potato. I can’t wait to meet your babies. I am currently working full time, but I do have a set schedule so it will be easy for me to keep a steady schedule with clients. I am available all day on Tuesdays and Saturdays, while being able to board on Wednesday and Friday. I have a fenced in yard and a pit bull who is very very friendly and loves all types of dogs, cats, and people. They will have tons of toys to play with and are allowed on furniture to relax with me if they choose.
“Taylor is amazing! Tyson my puppy nugget loves her. She is kind, attentive and helped me with everything I asked her to do while with Tyson. Will keep booking with her! Thank you Taylor”
About: I have experience with all kinds of animals including horses, goats, and chickens. Dogs are the best. I can't remember a time where I did not have a dog in my life. Originally from TX in the US marines me and my wife have a lovely Australian Shepherd named Gracie who is our best buddy 🙌🏻 we love her so much. We take her for long walks everyday and she eats homemade food. I am looking for a 2nd job, and pet care would be an amazing 2nd job. I can care for the pet on weekends, and once I get off work. My normal work week is Monday-Friday 6am-430pm or 0600 to 1630 Honestly probly depends on the pet, younger dogs especially puppies need more attention than older dogs, and older dogs may have different needs. It's case by case basis, on what each pet needs. I do like to play with the dogs I care for.
“Sarah was great!! This was the second time she watched our pets (1 dog, 2 cats and a fish). She checked in on them multiple times a day, sent us updates, and followed the detailed notes we left her. We felt like they were in such great hands that we could actually enjoy our trip without worrying about if they were getting the care we needed. We'll definitely book Sarah next time we travel!”
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for most of my life. I love high energy animals and taking care of them. I grew up with a dog and cat I still have and care for and more recently I have been a volunteer at the Humane Society, I even ended up starting my own club of volunteers in high school. This role has equipped me with all sorts of animal care skills such as cleaning after them, bathing them, feeding them and administering medication, and making sure to provide lots of love and attention. I’ve always said that I’m not a dog or cat person when asked, but rather an animal person. I love animals and caring after them. I am a college student at Tulane University and I am currently home for the summer! I am available until June 22nd and have open availability all day every day until then. I have a fenced yard and two pets of my own that are both friendly so I am no stranger to spending time outdoors with animals or having playdates. I am more than happy to take pets to any appointments they may have and am able to administer medication if needed.
About: I grew up around animals and used to volunteer at my local Veterinary Clinic. I have a lot of experience walking dogs, making meals, bathing pets, and absolutely love spending time with animals of any kind. I used to also house sit for my neighbors and watch their cats, dogs, and guinea pigs when they were out of time. I am a college student at UCSB double majoring in Film and Psychology. I have plenty of time during the day or at night to spend time with your pets and get to know them! I have a big open living room and can provide a crate in my home. I am also comfortable adapting to any routines or methods in your home that your pet is familiar with.
About: I have have been caring of all types of animals since I was 7+ years old. I have taken care of new born puppies, kittens, raccoons and reptiles of all types throughout my life and I love it!! If I could cuddle a gator I would!!! I have also done whelping services for many family members. I have done a lot of fostering and bottle feeding both puppies and kittens. I’m currently working only for Rover. So I can dedicate all my time to your fur baby and his/her needs and the loving care and schedule you want for them. However I am instructed to. I am there to make you and your pet comfortable while away. It can be stressful for pet and pet parents when they are not together. I try to keep your pets schedule as similar to what they are used to with you. Feeding/ walking/ playing/ sleeping/ waking up will all be as close to their normal schedule as possible. Their comfort is my first priority.
About: I’ve lived with and taken care of dogs since my early childhood. I currently operate a small dog walking business servicing the new orleans area. I currently plan on Pet walking and sitting on weekends and after 4pm on weekdays. I work full time and get off at 4pm which is right on time for walks, food and enrichment activities. I care for pets by making sure that they are consistently stimulated, whether that be music, petting, walks, conversation, play or mental enrichment. Your pet will be treated like family when you book with me :)
“Faith took great care of my two senior cats while I was away. She also brought in mail/packages and provided great communication. I would not hesitate to use her again!”
“Jessica took excellent care of my 18 year old cat! She spent time with her each visit, made sure she ate and took oral medications, and sent detailed updates with photos every day. It gave me peace of mind that she’s trained in veterinary care. I’ll definitely work with Jessica again.”
About: I have over 5 years of experience working at a doggy daycare, caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—including puppies, senior dogs, and anxious pets. I also have experience caring for cats and am the proud owner of a 7-year-old Sphynx, so I understand the unique care and attention cats need. Your pet will be treated like family while they’re with me. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m dependable, attentive, and committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals all my life and I can assure you that your pets will be well taken care of, loved, and respected during my time with them.❤️ I’m a college student but I have a lot of free time in the afternoon and at night so what better than to use that time to hang with some fur babies. I have plenty of free time to take your pet on long walks and make sure they feel safe while being in my care. I also know safe ways to redirect your pet if at all needed.
About: Since adopting my first pet in 2016, I discovered that I preferred to spend my off time with animals! Simply put I look forward to hanging out with your pet! I look forward to making both pets and people happy and like to listen to the preferences and needs of each individual pet. I am a dance/theater and fitness instructor so my schedule is often very opposite of your traditional 9-5. I have lots of daytime available and can even be available in the evenings. Pets safety, comfortability, and happiness are a top priority not only in my own home but anywhere I go. It is not only important to me but brings me joy to know I have helped or cared for any animal. I prefer to follow veterinary or research based guidelines when caring for pets but of course understand all pets are different and I am happy to accommodate any needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Terrytown
Jan was absolutely fantastic. I have a very unique pack of working and primitive breed dogs, and they definitely aren't the easiest group to care for. After just one meet-and-greet, Jan understood their personalities and made both me and my dogs feel completely at ease. What really impressed me was that he confidently took them on walks,...something that very few Rover sitters I've worked with have been comfortable doing. He handled each dog's quirks with patience, confidence, and a calm demeanor that my dogs responded to immediately. It's rare to find someone who truly understands working breeds and dogs with unique personalities, but Jan absolutely does. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him, especially if you have high-energy, independent, or quirky dogs that need someone experienced and confident. I'll definitely be booking with him again.
Sarah is a great person. After meeting her, I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog who is loved like a child. She went over and beyond with her while I was out of town for the day. She even sent some awesome pictures that made me happy to see she was well taken care of while I was gone

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.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Terrytown choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
