About: I have had several dogs growing up. I had a boxer when I was grown and working full time. A couple named Sharon and Phil that my mom introduced to me, watched my dog for a small fee for me because I worked so much. I do stay busy, but every now and then I have some time that I could take care of a dog. Instead of owning a dog, I would like to help out with someone like I was helped in the past because I know the feeling of needing someone to watch a dog for you when you are busy. I feel like I returning the favor that my friends did for me, but for someone else. I have taken care of family pets while they went on trips or were out of town. I fed the dogs, let them outside, and walked dogs before. I still do work alot. I work Monday through Friday until like 3:30pm. Sometimes I work on Saturdays until like 3:30 as well. But just message me and I will see what I can do possibly when I get off work in the evenings. Bottom line is I like being around and taking care of dogs sometimes. I have some availability, but not full availability. I do have a fenced in yard and may welcome a dog into my house. But I prefer to meet the pet and owners first to decide. It depends on the situation, but I would be interested in sitting at the owners home as well. I would be willing to sit, feed, walk, and/or just take the dog outside to use the bathroom when needed.
About: Shelter volunteer experience and half a lifetime of less formally taking care of my own and other people's pets, including high-energy breed dogs, senior cats with special health considerations, and the occasional crawfish. Happy to lend the same loving energy to the fur babies of any family in need! I'm currently focusing primarily on flexible pet care, work from home gigs, and volunteer work with limited hard schedule conflicts other than home cooking for family a couple days each week. Currently living with a good-sized but partially fenced yard, as a result keeping mostly to leashes for any canine friends. There are four amazing cats currently in residence, two are inside, two outside, all with their individual needs tended to daily.
“I had a great experience working with Russell. He was friendly, professional, and very accommodating, even agreeing to watch my cat while taking care of 4 other animals for the holiday. He clearly cares about pets, and did a great job with my cat (although my cat doesn't have any special needs). I would certainly ask him to help out again.”
About: Hi! My name is Maggie, and I have over 5 years of experience working in animal welfare. During this time, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets of all kinds, including those with special needs. I’m comfortable administering medications and providing the extra attention and care that pets with unique requirements may need. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or specialized care, I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away! I work from home so I’m home all the time . They go out 3+ times a day have at least 2 meals a day playtime and extra lovins I kennel them at night. Any pay attention to there body language around other animals and new people . I’m very attentive. I give every pet extra time so they don’t feel too homesick
About: I am a recent graduate from Louisiana State Univeristy currently working and living in New Orleans. I am an animal enthusiast and have a vast experience with pet care. I have grown up with pets my entire life, and have fostered my own animals during college. I am very reliable and want to make your pets as happy as possible! Monday through Thursday I am unavailable because of my work hours, I am available Friday late afternoon. Weekends I am available all day and nights! Unfortunately my rental does not allow for pets on the premises, but I am more than happy to pet sit and care for your pets at your own home!
“Kailey did a great job taking care of my cat and making sure her space was tidy while I was away. She sat with her and read to keep her company. I would recommend her services”
About: I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own. I’ve always loved animals and believe they deserve the same care and attention as humans do... especially babies. Because that’s what they are, our babies! Whether it’s treats, cuddles, toys, or walks, our animals deserve the best that we can offer. More so because not every animal that can be a pet is lucky enough to have caring and loving owners. When their owner cannot be around, having someone there to care for them can go a long way. It shows that they are not forgotten and that they are loved; even in the absence of their owners. I know this from past experience. I would never leave my pet unattended for long periods of time, so that’s what I’m here for!
“I messed up and left the chain hooked on the door so Jasmin couldn't get in. Fortunately, my cats had enough food and water to last until I got home. Jasmin was very kind about my mess up and still came to visit and pet the kitten through the crack in the front door!”
About: Hi, my name is Julie! I worked at the Camp Bow Wow in Baton Rouge for 3 years, and was general manager my last 2 years. I left in May of 2021 and have dog sat for roughly 8-10 clients year round since leaving Camp. I just moved back home to Nola and am looking for new people to dogsit for. I have experience with big and small dogs, puppies and old dogs, and I love them all. I can’t wait to meet your pups!❤️😊 I currently work full time, Monday-Friday and 8:00 AM-4:30 PM. I’m available most weekends or can even due week time stays. All of the dogsitting I’ve done before was in-home stays at the dog’s personal house. I like to learn their schedule and make them feel comfortable. I’m there for them and to give the parents peace of mind their pet is being taken care of (and sometimes spoiled).
About: I’ve cared for two dogs for 16 years, giving me hands-on experience with every stage of a dog’s life—from energetic puppy phases to the special attention seniors need. Because of this, I’m patient, attentive, and confident in handling different personalities, routines, and care needs. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, basic training, administering simple medications, and creating a calm, safe environment for pets of all ages. What sets me apart is my long-term, real-life experience and the genuine love and understanding that comes from growing up with dogs as part of my family. I am not currently working! I’m a student, which gives me a flexible schedule—especially in the early mornings and afternoons. I’m typically available before classes start in the morning and again once school wraps up for the day, making it easy for me to fit in walks, drop-ins, or extra time with your pets. My weekends are usually open as well, so I can accommodate longer visits, consistent routines, or last-minute needs. I’m happy to work with your pet’s schedule to make sure they get the care and attention they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, calm, and trustworthy environment. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, comfort level, and personality so they feel secure at all times. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space free of hazards, follow feeding and medication instructions exactly, and provide constant supervision during walks and playtime. Whether in my home or yours, I make sure your pet is comfortable, respected, and treated like family.
About: Hi! As a dog mom of 2 and cat mom to 1, I am used to walking, feeding, and playing with fur babies. Cuddles and play time are my specialty! Whether you have a puppy or senior dog, I will make sure your pets are well taken care of and treat them as if they were my own. I love to send photo updates of your fur babies so you have peace of mind that they are happy and well cared for. I’m currently taking a career break so my schedule is very flexible and I’m able to spend lots of time with your fur babies! Whether you need an extended sitter, or just a few nights while your away, I am happy to take great care of your furry family members. When I care for pets in someone else’s home, I make safety and respect my top priorities. I follow all routines closely, double-check doors and gates, and keep everything clean and tidy. I’m mindful of your privacy and treat your home with care, so you can return to happy pets and a space just as you left it.
About: Hello, my name is Maya and I would be happy to help you with any pet needs you may have. I’ve pet sat in a wide range of settings as well as looked after many different breeds. I enjoy spending time with animals and being out in nature and I consider this arrangement to be less work and more fun. That being said, I understand the responsibility it takes to look after someone else’s pet and take great care in keeping you pets safe and happy. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! :) I’m a self employed creative and have a very flexible schedule. I do work many side jobs so it is best to let me know a couple days to a week ahead of time. I cannot provide home services at this time unfortunately. My landlord won’t permit pets at my place. I would happily dog or cat sit at your home.
“Sara was very proactive with taking care of the pets and house during her daily check-ins. She provided great pictures and was very communicative. I would definitely hire her again.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Terrytown
Laura always takes the absolute best care of our cat! She is reliable and has great communication during our extended trips away, so we know our sweet kitty is in great hands. She is also so thoughtful and waters our plants, takes out our trash, etc while we are away. We are so grateful to have her caring for our cat each time we travel and highly recommend her!! 💕🐈🫶🏻
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.
Gerome's natural ability to commune with animals was present during both drop off and pick up of my cat. I returned to find my selective/discerning sweet pea snuggled up with her pet sitter in a relaxed and trusting pose. She did not want to come back with me! I will choose Gerome in the future to care for my love. Gerome was highly communicative during my time away from my cat. She sent me many photo updates, which allowed me to feel at ease during our separation.
Natasha was wonderful! She was incredibly attentive and loving with our cats, playing with them at every visit, and even our shy cat warmed up to her very quickly. Both cats clearly adored her and were completely stress-free while we were away. We would absolutely work with Natasha again and highly recommend her.
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
Pumpkin and Latte absolutely loved having Heather to watch over them for the week! She went above and beyond, our girl Pumpkin has a sensitive stomach and she was able to feed her slowly and take care of any accidents she may have had! She kept us updated with so many adorable photos and messages, and made us feel completely at ease with them in her care! Will be requesting Heather any time we have a trip!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Terrytown is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $27 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 1,165 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Terrytown. 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 Terrytown. 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.
