“Aja took my pup on short notice after my last sitter canceled and oh my gosh I’m pretty sure my dog didn’t ever want to come home! Judith had a better vacation than I did - and mine was pretty good! She will be returning for as long as she is welcome. I’m so grateful.”
“Stacey was great with our two dogs! We left them for four days and I wasn’t concerned at all whether they were being taken care of. She sent us updates and amazing pictures. Highly recommended and we will definitely use her in the future. Thanks Stacey!”
“Damaris and Jose were the perfect hosts for our dog, Rocky. They are both very loving and caring people and have a love of birds and animals. They fulfilled Rocky’s needs for twice daily medications. Their fenced-in yard and walks to a local park took care of his outdoor visits. They sent photos on a daily basis. We knew they were the right people during our meet ‘n greet. Rocky came home a very happy dog and we will definitely use Damaris and Jose again.”
“Melissa’s care was amazing for my two dogs. She loved them as if they were her own. She took the time to ask all the questions needed to make sure they would get the best care for their needs. She sent photos and updates throughout their visit. Great in home dog sitter!! I feel lucky to know I have someone to trust my babies with.”
“Where do I begin? OK so I’ve never been able to get anyone to keep out Skye because she isn’t people friendly. My best friends come to the house and have been coming to the house since I got our dog and the amount of time she has tried to attack them is insane. It has been very difficult to travel and find someone that can deal with her. A while back I use Rover when she was younger, and after about an hour, she calmed down and allowed the person to watch her. So now that our dog is much older, ehhh it’s worse. So knowing that I needed to take a vacation for eight days, I had no hope. I did not know what to do with her. So I jumped on Rover and went through all the options. I seen Ben’s name five times and kept passing it up, but God kept sending me back to his name. Honestly, it was a reason why. I contacted Ben and begin to have a conversation with him and naturally, I kept getting the aura that he was the right person for our Skye. Oh boy was I correct. On the day of drop off, I was super nervous for Ben. I warned him a lot of times that she may try to attack him and to just be prepared and be patient. He has nothing but patience. He believed in his ability to be able to handle her before he even met her. His calm presence is nothing short of amazing. So when we arrive to his home, I slowly took Skye out out of the car and began to walk to Ben. I’m not going to lie, I was extremely nervous. Skye sniffed around his yard with no aggression and not one time tried to attack Ben. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Been allowed her to freely come to him. He calmly greeted her and instantaneously, they bonded. This is something that has never been able to take place with my Skye. For this, I am giving him 1 million stars. If you have a pup that is full of anxiety and it’s always snapping at people, I promise you, if you select Ben to be your caretaker, you will never regret it. I truly appreciate you. I really really do. He sent pictures, gave me updates, and never once made me feel like I was a burden with asking questions.”
“Cheryn was wonderful! So kind, attentive, and caring. She sent lots of pics of my pup and regular updates. My pup loved staying with her, and I felt comforted knowing she was in good hands and having fun!”
“Liz was able to watch our kitty on short notice for the holidays. Love how well she kept us updated and sent lots of picture to give us peace of mind our fur baby was in good hands. Highly recommend Liz!!”
“Mike is awesome! My Livvy pouted most of her visit but he tried so hard to make her feel comfortable and welcomed. He kept us updated on how she was doing each day and had just perfect communication during the entire visit. I am looking forward to her having another visit with Mike. Thanks Mike, you Rock Kiddo!”
“This is the first time Lynn kept Freddie for us and it was during the Christmas Holiday. She has always been communicative and also provided many videos and pics of Fred. We could tell he was well cared for. He is an active dog with a strong desire for fetch and she engaged him. Definitely will call her again soon. Thank you!”
“Mary was amazing!! She was so easy to contact and she sent pictures and updates about my dog Max that stayed with her. He seemed to have a great time and he got along with her dog as well. Will definitely contact her again! 😊”
“Jon was absolutely amazing with our pups.. he would send photos on a daily in addition to providing our old man his meds. We understand that our younger pup has some issues getting along with others but he was able to keep the peace with all the pups and that's a bit of a feat because she can be ALOT. Our littles were happy to come home but looked just as they did when we left them, plump and happy! We will absolutely be using Jon again for our next vacation!!”
“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!”
“Katherine and Ethan took wonderful care of our large lab George while we were away for almost a week. Their two dogs kept George busy and provided plenty of company. We look forward to leaving our large fur baby with them in the future!”
“Julia is a fantastic dog sitter. We felt SO comfortable leaving our dog with her. She has two dogs of her own so she very clearly “gets it” and she went above and beyond to make us feel like Duke was in good hands.”
“Iryna is fantastic. I could tell immediately that she and her family love animals. Her pup was super sweet when we arrived, so that was a bonus. This was our first time booking with Iryna, which I can find a little stressful. I had nothing to worry about bc she put me at ease immediately. She had great communication throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with plenty of pictures. She noticed a wound on our pup that we weren’t aware of, cleaned and treated it, and let us know right away. We also had a last minute medication request for a separate issue, and she was incredibly accommodating without hesitation. It was clear that she cared for our guy like he was her own. We would absolutely book with Iryna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter. - Diana (and Roy)”
“My whole experience with Madison was wonderful from the beginning to the end. She was incredibly quick to schedule with and very easy to locate. She sent daily updates of Rosie Posie having the time of her life from playing in the back yard, walking the neighborhood, or getting cozy with the humans of the house inside. I am thoroughly impressed with Madison’s amount of quality time spent with my pet and will definitely be using her again in the near future.”
“We’ve tried a number of sitters in New Orleans and Regina was the best by far. She sent consistent and detailed updates along with photos, without even being asked which gave us so much comfort. Theo didn’t even seem like he wanted to leave when I picked him up! We will absolutely be using Regina to watch Theo in the future. We recommend her 10/10 times!”
“Ellen is always fantastic, takes great care of our pup. Very flexible! We have boarded him with her multiple times and he always comes back happy and healthy”

“Lori did a great job looking after my two cats. She even managed to get the skittish one to play with her. I will be seeking out Lori for future cat-sitting needs, she did an excellent job overall.”
About: I’ve grown up with whole life with dogs, so I know the importance of taking care of your 4-legged family member(s) that are important in your life. I want to provide my services so that your fur baby is safe and comfortable in their own home, while you are alway from home. I’ve had small dogs such as jack Russell’s and as big as pit bulls in my family. No fur baby is too big or too small to love and care for. I am currently not working since I am finishing my degree in Nursing. The only work I have been doing is part-time babysitting and dog sitting on the side & weekends. I am mostly available weekdays from 8am-8pm. Weekends can be tricky for me due to other side jobs such as babysitting, so it just depends. Just ask if you have questions about any specific weekend. I currently have a recused pitbull-husky mix living in my home with me, that loves to play all day. She is recently just finished her heart worm treatment as of August 2025. We just started slowly becoming active again. Due to her circumstances, I have been able to learn more about pets medication and aiding in helping her through this process. Unfortunately, I can not have any pets in my home due to renting restrictions of no more than 1 dog. However, I am available to help with other pets medications and care for your fur pup in your home.
“Celeste was so sweet! We felt very comfortable having her watch our cat while we were out of town. She was super accommodating and we loved the photos that she sent us. We will definitely book with Celeste again.”
“Mimi was able to fill in and care for my babies when I was faced with a last minute cancellation. She was highly communicative and very detailed oriented! I got multiple pictures of my kitties and a detailed report. Definitely recommend!”
“Lindsey was very dependable. The dogs seemed to love her. I enjoyed knowing my dogs were being cared for in my home. I would definitely use Lindsey as my dog sitter in the future.”
“Ebony is so rare. They update and take care of your dog and cat like they were their own. I’m so grateful to have someone get to know my dog’s personality and be patient with them while I was away. It makes travel and being away more enjoyable knowing they are in good hands. Appreciate it more than you know. Mary Louise”
“Olivia was absolutely AMAZING when she dropped in to check on our cats. From the get-go, she was super responsive and genuinely curious about our little furballs, which we loved. She didn’t just do the basics — she really took her time, stayed a bit longer when needed, and clearly cares a lot about the animals she looks after. It’s such a relief to know our cats were in good hands with someone so attentive, loving, and dedicated. Our cats tend to be very shy around strangers. She made the extra effort to show up for them, and they did show! Honestly, we couldn’t be happier and would 100% recommend Olivia to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about pets like they're her own!”
“Brittany was very dependable and checked in on my cat every day. She also brought our packages inside when we were out of town. I definitely recommend booking for any of your pet sitting needs!! 😊”
“Was awesome to deal with great communication sent lots of photos provided much-needed, companionship, and snuggles while we were out of of town Well, absolutely Book with Rae again. 10/10”
About: I’ve taken care of pets my entire adulthood. Animals are angels on earth and truly part of what makes life so special. I don’t trust just anyone with my own fur baby, so I understand how stressful it can be to find someone to care for them when you need to travel or work extended hours. My entire family has dogs and I occasionally pet sit for relatives or friends who need it, so I figured I could do that more consistently to help others as well. I am between jobs and exploring what comes next, so I’m available all the time to love and care for your pups while you are at work or on vacation. I have a fenced backyard that pups can run around in. I am liberal with giving treats, but will absolutely respect and follow what your dog’s feeding and treat needs are. I love engaging with pups and learning their personalities, so they won’t be ignored in any way while they are with me. Senior dogs are welcome.
About: I started dog-sitting in college. I've taken care of blind senior dogs, puppies, adult dogs, not to mention guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, turtles...the list goes on!! I work from home, so I can take my laptop anywhere! I do have a strict work schedule, but it doesn't matter where I am. I treat my pets like they're my kids, so your pets would be like my nieces and nephews...lots of fun but I'll give 'em back!! When dog-sitting in your home, I try to leave everything just as you left it.
About: ---> Sorry, I do NOT accept most spunky, young dogs Over 30 pounds. Most of the small pets I care for cannot physically handle playing with most dogs over 30 pounds. There's no setting for that weight on Rover. (Unless your pet is an elder and/or they're very mellow) <--- My name is Melissa (aka. "Missy"). I'd like to care for your precious pet the next time you need some help. Do you have somewhere to go, or something to do? Let me help you, at your place or mine!?! You can book your pet for a caring, one hour, drop-in visit to your home, a few overnight visits, or an extended stay at my house. Do you need help at the last minute ... ? No problem. I'm happy to provide pet transportation, if needed. I can also help you fulfill the rules & requirements at a "Pet-Friendly" NOLa hotel, when the rules say, “you cannot leave your pet in the hotel room alone”. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant - This means your precious pet will NEVER be left alone for long hours, whenever they're in my care. I will be at your pet's side, while you take care of business or if you have a fun get-away planned. I’m very comfortable with many different animals & dog breeds, including elderly dogs that need a mellow, safe space with calm, gentle care. I pay close attention to what your dog likes & dis-likes, along with their personality quirks & individual needs. I enjoy caring for all animals, both young & old. I do not accept more than 2-3 dogs at a time. ((I USUALLY only schedule ONE family's pet(s) at the same time, especially if there’s a new dog client)). I always put in a great deal of consideration, before scheduling more than one family's pet at the same time. My home is very spacious, clean, well-organized & safe. I have a large, gated/enclosed & secure, backyard. The dogs that stay with me are ALWAYS supervised. My eyes will be on your pet constantly, while we play at your home or mine, both inside & outside. Allow me to love & care for your precious pet, while you take care of you. Let's discuss your needs. I do offer one free meet & greet. Other than dogs, I also have experience caring for: Cats, Birds, Bunnies, Turtles, Lizards, Snakes, Hamsters, Fish, Frogs, Chickens & Plants. Most of my pet guests are small, therefore any extra frisky, playful pet, over 30 pounds may cause physical harm, even if they are just playing. I'd rather not take that chance. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant. I’m rarely away from the house for more than 2-3 hours. I will always keep my eyes on your pet, even when the pet is roaming around the backyard. My backyard has a 9 ft. high, wooden fence. I also have a double gated entry, front-yard patio. I can also provide crates if needed. My 20 pound dog is 8yrs. old and he is very mellow & well behaved. He always welcomes another dog friend, anytime. We have a trusted routine for introducing new pet guests.
“Adam was great with our dog and cat. He made sure to get all the important details on our pets care and made sure they had everything they needed. Our pets were well taken care of while we were gone. Would recommend and plan to use Adam in the future!”
“Lydia was awesome, she cared for our senior dog Bella. She sent detailed communication about her drop in with Bella and made my husband and I feel at ease when we were gone. We will continue to use Lydia’s services, 5 stars!”
About: I have 2 dogs, a boxer named Goose that is a rescue and a lemon beagle. I love all animals and I will treat your dog or cat like it’s my own. I have a very flexible schedule. Im employed under contract basis and I’m working on a special project is which allows for very flexible availability. I’m available for feedings, play time, long walks or just to spend time with your animal. I love to cuddle or play indoors or outdoors
“Elizabeth was amazing! My skittish cats warmed up to her right away. She played with them & gave them extra treats. They’re very good motivated, so they’ll love her forever. Next time I’m out of time I’ll definitely call Elizabeth again”

“It can be hard to find sitters willing to help with challenging dogs, and I have a very sweet pup who, unfortunately, has some separation anxiety that means she can’t be left home alone at this point. Julia agreed to watch her for some daycare while my husband and I attended a family birthday party, and she also was great about setting up a Meet and Greet about a week beforehand so that Sable could be introduced to Julia and her own pups. Julia sent pictures and updates while we were away, and I appreciated her honesty when I asked how Sable did. It seems as though Sable was only mildly embarrassing and didn’t put Julia through too much hassle, so I’m very grateful to have someone trustworthy and kind to leave my pup with! Thank you so much!”
“Liz was a SUPER sitter for our girls! She had a few other dogs who she was also watching, which made me feel very comfortable - because that indicated others felt she was ALSO a great sitter! We will be re-booking her for tomorrow (Thanksgiving) - and will definitely keep her on our sitter list for when we travel to New Orleans.”
“Melissa is the exact kind of person you can trust leaving your fur baby with. I felt very comfortable at her spacious tidy place and I know my puppy did too. She took him outside nearly every hour since he’s only 3 months. She sent updates with pictures and was flexible with pick up time since it was a group event I was attending. I will definitely request Melissa next time I’m in or around Berkeley :)”
“Beth has a true natural gift with pups! I’ve never seen Louis as happy as he is when he heads off to her—his whole face lights up, tail wagging a mile a minute. It’s such a relief and joy to know he’s in such caring, capable hands. Thank you, Beth, for taking such wonderful care of my boy. We think you’re the best and feel so lucky to have found you! 🐾❤️”
“My husband Emile and I were very pleased and grateful for the care that Damaris and Jose’ provided our Emma! You can tell that they are animal lovers and treated her like their own! They have a lovely home and yard and sent pictures and videos of her stay. In the past, Emma has been cared for by family members. It’s nice to know that we have someone else turn to!”
“I just moved to New Orleans and work very long hours. I won’t leave my dog alone for extended periods and I’m so grateful I found Ellen. Waylon fit in so well with her pups and absolutely loved his day with Ellen and her crew. I loved all the updates I got from Ellen throughout the day; I knew my pup was in good hands and was treated just like one of her own. Waylon has been passed out on the couch since we’ve gotten back from Ellen’s. I would not hesitate to go back and use her services again, and I highly recommend her to anyone in the area to look after your fur babies.”
“Olivia is great with Artemis! We never have to worry about our pup when she’s with her. She always sends us photos of our girl and keeps us updated on how she’s doing throughout the day. Artie loves going to her house now and gets so excited to see her. She always responds as soon as possible to any questions or concerns we may have and is so flexible with our schedule. Being a bartender, it’s nice to know I can leave my dog with someone who will take care of her when I work long hours. Thank you Olivia!”
“We seriously cannot recommend Madison enough. She was absolutely incredible with our boys! She made us so at ease when visiting from out of town and even got our senior dog to play 🥹 She went above and beyond with her updates & photos and I truly know they were so loved with her. Thank you so much Madison, our new go-to New Orleans sitter!!”
“Katherine and Ethan were extremely responsive, kind, and flexible when we left our Siberian Husky, Charlie, with them for doggie daycare. Their dogs, Gus and Brady, wore Charlie out, and Charlie is psyched to spend more time with all of them.”
“She was great! My dog needed a sitter for the day and she had no problems at all Cheyanne sent update pictures, had friends to play with, and was super happy way dropping off and picking up! Will definitely be returning!”
“Winnie loved Emily. I was nervous with my pup being so young and tiny leaving her for daycare but EMILY made her feel right at home. This sweet lady has a heart of gold. ❤️ Winnie can’t wait hang out with her and sweet dogs again. :)”
About: Pets have been both my siblings and my children. I currently have two corgis, one that is two and one that is twelve. I fully understand the uniqueness of each dog- both in needs and personality. "Speaking dog" is a high priority to me. I am a highly detailed oriented individual, with a propensity for enriching and nourishing the well being of your baby. I can happily enjoy a leisurely walk for a mellow dog who wants to sniff and explore; or tire out a dog with boundless energy. I can also offer special love and care to elderly and special care need dogs. I am currently unemployed from a regular income job. I am a ballet instructor in the evenings. I can happily aid with any daytime care needs. I have two corgis. I understand each dog has unique individual needs to match their personalities. I receive both great delight and personal satisfaction in getting to know the motivation of each dogs' personality.
About: I’ve cared for dogs at every life stage, from puppies to seniors, with a variety of breeds and temperaments. Right now, I have a small breed senior who is still fairly active. Please use the following link for $20 off your first booking: https://www.rover.com/sit/jonatb76705 I am typically at home, have a flexible schedule, and am available for drop-offs on short notice. Just let me know how I can assist! Your dog will have free range of the living areas, with regular supervised visits to the enclosed backyard, and walked twice daily or as often as requested.
“Wendy took such great care of my puppy. As a new pet owner, Wendy put my mind at ease and made sure I was comfortable and that Daisy felt safe and had a great time. I loved the updates and could tell Daisy didn’t miss me at all because she was having so much fun. We’ll definitely be back!”
“Pearl Bear seemed to have a wonderful time with Michael! This was our first time using Rover, and Michael really put us at ease. His location is also as convenient as can be for exploring the French Quarter. Drop off and Pick up where a breeze! Thank you so much Michael!”

“Lisa was very sweet. You can tell how much she loves dogs. Our Anni did great, so I’m told. Since this was our first time using Rover we were nervous about leaving her. But after our experience with Lisa we will use Rover again. We are traveling across country and not every place is dog friendly. Thanks Lisa.”
About: We are a small family with a super friendly lab-hound mix named Charlie. Charlie loves to play with other dogs and is generous with his space and toys. Our six-year-old daughter loves meeting new animals, too. Our home is fenced all around so the dogs have a circle run as well as the backyard and front porch to play and relax. We travel and have used Rover for our dog and we’re happy to be on the other side hosting and caring for your pet. I have volunteer experience with multiple animal shelters and experience caring for both healthy pets and animals with special needs. The other side of our double shotgun is currently unoccupied so we have additional space to separate dogs if need be.
About: I previously worked at an animal shelter for three years. I handled all dogs and cats, the nice and the not so very nice. I had over 20 adoptions of dogs alone, with two aggressive dogs changed to happy puppies. I currently own a dog who is absolutely great I’m a dog lover. I’m a stay at home mommy, I take care of my son and my 1 year old pup. I’m pretty flexible on time. If I’m not able to do specific dates, I will mark them as unavailable to help assist with booking times. Please ensure that your pet is good with babies and other dogs before hand. I do not want to have any issues between the dogs that will cause harm to my baby. I have a fenced in yard, and I also have a block that I walk my pup around. If you have specifics for your pet, please let me know. I am pretty easy going when it comes to the proper care for your fur baby!

“Lori was prompt, and very communicative! She was so great meeting my timid little Shelby, and gave me great insight and resources for some future dog training. I would highly suggest her for anything in the future with people who are looking for a kind and communicative dog walker.”
About: I have pet sat cats and dogs (as well as various reptiles and birds) of all different ages. I have 4 cats and a snake of my own with one cat that takes daily medication. I have fostered cats and assisted in senior pet care (dogs and cats). I also trained 2 of my cats and when we had dogs, I also trained them. I am very experienced with administering medication and caring for pets of different ages! I am happy to take care of your other pets (reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish, and rodents) in addition to your cats and/or dogs:) Three of my cats are fed twice a day, and my elderly cat gets 4 small meals. I work from home so am able to give my cats plenty of attention. I am fairly flexible with my routine and can easily check in on your pet(s) and walk them 2-3 times a day except on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Those days I have to be physically at my job so I can only check on your pet(s) in the mornings before 11am and afternoons after 4pm. My cats are treated as equal family members and have a wide range of enrichment within our house: cat trees, toys, a screened in porch, and forage puzzles. Our elderly cat is on daily medication and is showered with compliments (she is a queen and she knows it!) . I spend time every day playing with all of my cats and snuggling them as much as they like. I am incredibly gentle with animals and respect their space. I try my best to maintain a clean, stress-free environment at home and in the homes I pet sit for. I know how stressful it can be for a pet to meet someone new, so I always move at their speed and respect their comfort. Your pet's safety and trust are a top priority, and I will treat them with the care I give my own cats.
About: I’ve been a dedicated pet owner for several years and know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. As a dog and cat mom myself, I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, cleaning litter boxes, and providing plenty of love and attention. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll tailor my care to their unique personality and routine. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I make time each day to ensure pets receive the care, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter box or yard clean-up, or simply spending quality time with them, I’m committed to keeping pets happy, comfortable, and on their regular routine. I also plan my schedule to be dependable and communicate with owners through updates and photos, so they have peace of mind while they’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their usual routine and giving them plenty of attention, patience, and affection. In a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get the exercise or playtime they need, and receive lots of companionship. I also keep their space clean, whether that means scooping litter boxes, cleaning up after walks, or tidying food and water areas. I’ll respect your home, follow any special care instructions, and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Lindsey went above and beyond to take care of Wells while I was out of town. She is a total rockstar. I cannot recommend Lindsey enough. Thank you so so much!!!”
About: My family has had at least one dog in our house since I was born. Everybody in my family has dogs. I have a few family members that rely on me to help them with their dogs when they need it. Everyone in my family treats their pets like they are humans and I do just the same! I am currently in between jobs so I’m available pretty much whenever. I do have my own dog at home so I prefer to not stay somewhere for a long, extended period of time. I am pretty flexible with that though so just ask me and I’ll let you know if it’s doable! I have a fenced in yard. I have a 14 year old rescue that just mainly stays to herself. There is a 1 year old Shih Tzu/Yorkie mix now living here as well, under the care of someone else that’s not me, however she is very rambunctious with other dogs. I do not mind walking them around the neighborhood. In my family, we treat our dogs like they are humans and they are like our children!
About: Hello! I’ve taken care of dogs and cats/ had my own animals for years. This is something I did throughout undergrad and grad school! I have a 3 year old doodle and a 2 year old black lab in my home. I also have a 5&1 year old tuxedo kitty. I just moved to Louisiana and am looking for something to do! I am completely available and will have time to communicate with others when needed! I have a big fenced in yard that my dogs play fetch in all day long! They have lots of toys inside to play with as well just in case the weather doesn’t allow them to be outside!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years, starting as a side hustle during PT school and currently for friends and family while I’m studying for my boards exam. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, and I bring a calm, patient approach to every pup I meet. With my physical therapy background, I’m especially attentive to mobility, comfort, and safe handling, which helps senior dogs and anxious pups feel at ease. Whether we’re playing, walking, or relaxing, your dog gets warm, reliable care you can trust. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I study during the day on weekdays, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks, drop‑ins, and time with your pup. On weekends, I work PRN at a hospital on Sunday mornings, but still keep space open for afternoon or evening visits. I love having dogs woven into my week — it’s a fun, grounding break from studying and a chance to bring some joy and movement into my day. Your pet gets reliable attention, consistent care, and a calm, playful presence whenever they’re with me. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress‑free. I follow your feeding schedule, walk times, and any house rules so you and your pet feel completely at ease. I give plenty of playtime, attention, and companionship, and I always make sure water bowls stay full, any messes are cleaned up, and your home is well respected.

“Elizabeth was a fantastic babysitter our big golden retriever pup while we were out of town. She was in constant contact with us, sent plenty of pictures and updates about their romps, meal breaks, water breaks etc. And she kept the house spotless. I will most definitely use her services again. Thanks Elizabeth!”
About: I have always lived with dogs since I was a small child. The last 8 years I have been house/dog sitting for a retired couple with multiple dogs. This past May I lost my 16 year old rat terrier- broke my heart. Shortly after a relative asked me to keep his chocolate lab for a week and I loved it. I miss having a dog at the house!

About: ---> Sorry, I do NOT accept most spunky, young dogs Over 30 pounds. Most of the small pets I care for cannot physically handle playing with most dogs over 30 pounds. There's no setting for that weight on Rover. (Unless your pet is an elder and/or they're very mellow) <--- My name is Melissa (aka. "Missy"). I'd like to care for your precious pet the next time you need some help. Do you have somewhere to go, or something to do? Let me help you, at your place or mine!?! You can book your pet for a caring, one hour, drop-in visit to your home, a few overnight visits, or an extended stay at my house. Do you need help at the last minute ... ? No problem. I'm happy to provide pet transportation, if needed. I can also help you fulfill the rules & requirements at a "Pet-Friendly" NOLa hotel, when the rules say, “you cannot leave your pet in the hotel room alone”. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant - This means your precious pet will NEVER be left alone for long hours, whenever they're in my care. I will be at your pet's side, while you take care of business or if you have a fun get-away planned. I’m very comfortable with many different animals & dog breeds, including elderly dogs that need a mellow, safe space with calm, gentle care. I pay close attention to what your dog likes & dis-likes, along with their personality quirks & individual needs. I enjoy caring for all animals, both young & old. I do not accept more than 2-3 dogs at a time. ((I USUALLY only schedule ONE family's pet(s) at the same time, especially if there’s a new dog client)). I always put in a great deal of consideration, before scheduling more than one family's pet at the same time. My home is very spacious, clean, well-organized & safe. I have a large, gated/enclosed & secure, backyard. The dogs that stay with me are ALWAYS supervised. My eyes will be on your pet constantly, while we play at your home or mine, both inside & outside. Allow me to love & care for your precious pet, while you take care of you. Let's discuss your needs. I do offer one free meet & greet. Other than dogs, I also have experience caring for: Cats, Birds, Bunnies, Turtles, Lizards, Snakes, Hamsters, Fish, Frogs, Chickens & Plants. Most of my pet guests are small, therefore any extra frisky, playful pet, over 30 pounds may cause physical harm, even if they are just playing. I'd rather not take that chance. I work from home as a bookkeeper & tax consultant. I’m rarely away from the house for more than 2-3 hours. I will always keep my eyes on your pet, even when the pet is roaming around the backyard. My backyard has a 9 ft. high, wooden fence. I also have a double gated entry, front-yard patio. I can also provide crates if needed. My 20 pound dog is 8yrs. old and he is very mellow & well behaved. He always welcomes another dog friend, anytime. We have a trusted routine for introducing new pet guests.

“Where do I begin? OK so I’ve never been able to get anyone to keep out Skye because she isn’t people friendly. My best friends come to the house and have been coming to the house since I got our dog and the amount of time she has tried to attack them is insane. It has been very difficult to travel and find someone that can deal with her. A while back I use Rover when she was younger, and after about an hour, she calmed down and allowed the person to watch her. So now that our dog is much older, ehhh it’s worse. So knowing that I needed to take a vacation for eight days, I had no hope. I did not know what to do with her. So I jumped on Rover and went through all the options. I seen Ben’s name five times and kept passing it up, but God kept sending me back to his name. Honestly, it was a reason why. I contacted Ben and begin to have a conversation with him and naturally, I kept getting the aura that he was the right person for our Skye. Oh boy was I correct. On the day of drop off, I was super nervous for Ben. I warned him a lot of times that she may try to attack him and to just be prepared and be patient. He has nothing but patience. He believed in his ability to be able to handle her before he even met her. His calm presence is nothing short of amazing. So when we arrive to his home, I slowly took Skye out out of the car and began to walk to Ben. I’m not going to lie, I was extremely nervous. Skye sniffed around his yard with no aggression and not one time tried to attack Ben. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Been allowed her to freely come to him. He calmly greeted her and instantaneously, they bonded. This is something that has never been able to take place with my Skye. For this, I am giving him 1 million stars. If you have a pup that is full of anxiety and it’s always snapping at people, I promise you, if you select Ben to be your caretaker, you will never regret it. I truly appreciate you. I really really do. He sent pictures, gave me updates, and never once made me feel like I was a burden with asking questions.”
“Jon was absolutely amazing with our pups.. he would send photos on a daily in addition to providing our old man his meds. We understand that our younger pup has some issues getting along with others but he was able to keep the peace with all the pups and that's a bit of a feat because she can be ALOT. Our littles were happy to come home but looked just as they did when we left them, plump and happy! We will absolutely be using Jon again for our next vacation!!”
“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!”
“Katherine and Ethan took wonderful care of our large lab George while we were away for almost a week. Their two dogs kept George busy and provided plenty of company. We look forward to leaving our large fur baby with them in the future!”
“Julia is a fantastic dog sitter. We felt SO comfortable leaving our dog with her. She has two dogs of her own so she very clearly “gets it” and she went above and beyond to make us feel like Duke was in good hands.”
“Iryna is fantastic. I could tell immediately that she and her family love animals. Her pup was super sweet when we arrived, so that was a bonus. This was our first time booking with Iryna, which I can find a little stressful. I had nothing to worry about bc she put me at ease immediately. She had great communication throughout the entire stay and kept us updated with plenty of pictures. She noticed a wound on our pup that we weren’t aware of, cleaned and treated it, and let us know right away. We also had a last minute medication request for a separate issue, and she was incredibly accommodating without hesitation. It was clear that she cared for our guy like he was her own. We would absolutely book with Iryna again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter. - Diana (and Roy)”
“My whole experience with Madison was wonderful from the beginning to the end. She was incredibly quick to schedule with and very easy to locate. She sent daily updates of Rosie Posie having the time of her life from playing in the back yard, walking the neighborhood, or getting cozy with the humans of the house inside. I am thoroughly impressed with Madison’s amount of quality time spent with my pet and will definitely be using her again in the near future.”
“We’ve tried a number of sitters in New Orleans and Regina was the best by far. She sent consistent and detailed updates along with photos, without even being asked which gave us so much comfort. Theo didn’t even seem like he wanted to leave when I picked him up! We will absolutely be using Regina to watch Theo in the future. We recommend her 10/10 times!”
“Anna has watched my dogs a few times now. She is always very quick to respond and a great communicator when it comes to organizing drop offs and pick ups. If the dogs could talk, they would confirm they have a good time when staying with Anna!”
“Lisa and Gizzy took great care of our Charlie! He can be a nervous nelly, but they put him at ease quickly as if he was part of the family from day one. Pics and updates were sent regularly. We are so grateful to have found you as Charlie’s home away from home!”
“Natalie took great care of our dog Taz and provided lots of updates. I could tell in the pictures that Taz was so happy and it was a relief that he was in good hands. Thank you Natalie, you’re a life saver!”
“Ashley was fantastic with my dog, Neon. She made sure he was well integrated with the other dogs and gave him plenty of individual attention, including lots of games of fetch—one of his favorite things. She also kept a close eye on him to make sure he didn’t get overheated during the New Orleans summer heat. I loved that she had a kiddie pool in the backyard so the dogs could cool off while playing. Ashley was easy to coordinate with, communicative, and made the whole experience stress-free. It was clear Neon had a wonderful vacation while I was on mine. I’d absolutely book with Ashley again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive dog sitter!”
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.
About: Hi! I’m Tay, equal parts responsible adult and dog hype person. I’m the type to send you update pictures like your dog just graduated college. Whether your pup is energetic, anxious, clingy, goofy, or convinced they own the house, I adjust to their vibe quickly. I’m reliable, communicative, and genuinely love animals, but I also understand that trusting someone with your dog is a big deal. Your pet will get plenty of attention, care, walks, playtime, and probably a few compliments they don’t deserve. I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, from couch potato cuddle experts to dogs training for the Dog Olympics. I’ll follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and any special care requests carefully. Bonus: your dog can vent to me about you while you’re gone, and I legally cannot tell you what they said. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry best friend! 🐾 I work from home, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, supervision, and company throughout the day. I’m available for daytime care, walks, potty breaks, playtime, feedings, medication schedules, and all the “throw the toy again immediately” requests your dog may have. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves nonstop attention or prefers a calm nap buddy nearby, I can accommodate their needs throughout the day. I live in a very nice open spaced 2 bedroom house with a fenced yard and hardwood floors. I have a yard with lots of room for animals to play and enjoy themselves.
“Roxanne was very quick to respond and was a pleasure to work with. My Shepard, Roxy had so much fun running and playing. She took Roxy to the beach! Thank you for watching Roxy and allowing us our time away.”
“My pup’s nearly 3 week stay with Bayleigh and her dog Jacks was beyond perfect. I have a young, high energy 100lb dog that Bayleigh did such a great job watching. Without a doubt, she went above and beyond to ensure he was cared for, exercised and mentally fulfilled. She also communicated extremely well and regularly shared pictures.”
