“My dogs were spoiled during my time away! I received daily updates and pictures/videos to prove they had a great time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“Mike was great with our Chase. He always kept us updated on Chase and sent photos very frequently. We could tell Chase loved being with Mike and his dog Britain. And a plus is that Mike lives only a block away from us. We were hesitant at first because of our own anxiety and it being our first time using the app but Mike was able to meet with us before Chase's stay and reassured us that Chase was in good hands. Highly recommend Mike! Thank you Mike and Britain for taking care of our boy!”
“Shelby was great. Out of state travelers needed a sitter for two nights for our yorkie. Quick response. Friendly. Sent photo updates on the baby. Close to downtown New Orleans. Definitely recommend!”
“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)”
“Michael was great with Kennebec! He’s very kind and very responsive throughout. The location is right in the French quarter so it was extremely convenient. He also updated us on the parades which was very helpful! Definitely recommend for a relaxing vacation in the French Quarter!”
“Desirae was amazing with my pups! She sent lots of photos and clearly she and her daughter gave them lots of love and attention. She even went out of her way to bathe them so they came home nice and clean! She used to be a vet tech and even teaches out to me with an issue she identified in one of our girls and was able to cure her. Thanks so much Desirae!! We will definitely use her again!”
“Aja is an all-star sitter. She sent me twice daily updates and photos so I always knew that Phoebe was having fun with her pups and getting lots of loving care. Very communicative and thorough. I will definitely be working with Aja again.”
“We are so thankful for Jon! He did an INCREDIBLE job watching our pack of 4 poms over our wedding weekend! We have never used Rover before or left our dogs overnight and were pretty nervous. We even got on a call with Jon prior to booking and he was more than willing to answer our millions of questions. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times (we drove into NOLA from STL) and was so patient with my "helicopter parent" husband that wanted to set up their beds himself and was so anxious to leave them. Jon's house is also on a side street that made drop off really easy. We received multiple updates and the cutest photos the whole weekend! Our pack definitely had a great time. They loved the backyard! We have a senior dog with mobility issues that he was very careful with, and another pom with some hearing and vision loss and he was wonderful with both. It was very obvious that Jon loves dogs and took care of our fur babies like they were his own! When we picked the pups up he had everything packed up which was a huge time saver since we were driving back home. He had even ran one of our blankets through the dryer so they would have a warm spot to lay since the weather had gotten cold that morning! It is so difficult to trust someone else with your animals, and we were lucky to find such a caring and thoughtful Rover. Jon, thank you so much for going above and beyond to take care of our poms while we got married! See you next year! (-:”
“Etta to the rescue! Was out of the country and found that drop in visits didn't work for my boxer. Etta responded right away, worked with the drop in sitter to make the hand off to boarding with Etta seemless. Long story short my dog also had as good as a vacation with Etta's other boarders as I did.”
“Ms. Elena was amazing. I'm very particular about who i leave my baby with and he's very particular about who he visits lol... She made me and gabbana very at ease and comfortable. I am most definitely utilizing Ms. Elena again. ?”
“I felt full trust to leave my baby boy with Katherine and her husband. They both work from home so plenty of attention for the pups and Grits had a great time. Great people!”
“Sarah was great! If she is available in the future I will definitely use her. She sent LOTS of photos and videos and I was more than grateful that my pup had a friend to play with in her doggo. I’d forgotten to update D’Arts profile that he was now on medication, and Sarah was super adaptable to this info. I am appreciative!”
“Rachel and Mike took great care of our pups! This was our first time with a new sitter and they acclimated so easily. Rachel sent us photos daily and I have a sneaking suspicion that one of our dogs didn’t want to come home haha!”
“Regina is exceedingly friendly, communicative, and shares lots of photos. I thought she was very accommodating. This was my first time using River. We met up for a meet and greet with my dog and went over care. I felt very comfortable letting my dog stay with her as I knew she was in capable care. Also I sincerely believe that my dog is better behaved now than she was when I dropped her off. I can't wait to drop my pup off again!”
“Ellen is a wonderful pet caretaker. I will definitely leave Charo with her again. She took her on lots of walks and sent me many photos. I highly recommend Ellen.”
“Nicole is amazing. My dog is a handful to care for - he is needy, always wants to play, and barks a lot. She was patient with him and played with him. I accidentally did not pack him enough dog food and she even shared some of her own dog’s food with him. I also asked for more pictures since I was on a long trip and she did so immediately.”
“Serena and AJ were amazing with Cookie!! It was very relieving & comforting to know she was in such great hands while I was out of the country for a bit. Serena was always super quick to respond, flexible, and I loved getting all the photo and video updates! 10/10 would recommend & I would definitely book again with her!”
“WOW! What a great stay my maizy had! The pictures I got I will save for a lifetime. Filled with so many activates and great communication the entire time. I would highly recommend!!”

“Hannah was great! My cats are a little rambunctious and like to spend the day outside and are sometimes a bit difficult to find when it comes time to come home. Hannah traversed blocks and bushes to track these little guys down to make sure they spent the night safe and sound at home! She sent lots of pictures and updates. I would definitely hire her again!”
“I appreciate the thorough notes Deanna provides with each visit, very comforting. She is so caring towards my cat which helped me focus on other things during my business trip.”
“Chloe did a great job watching my Elton, who can be a high maintenance kitty. She sent daily pictures and updates. I came home to him happy healthy and relaxed. The house was neat and clean. I would highly recommend Chloe to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Caitlin is awesome! She took care of my 16-year old cat for three days. She sent me detailed updates and photos everyday. I definitely will ask her to cat sit Zippy again.”
“Dani is fantastic! She took excellent care of my little kitties. 😸 Georgie took to her instantly which shows the kind and caring spirit she has. We don't travel very often, but when we do I hope Dani is around to take care of the fury ones we love. Thanks again Dani!”
“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: Cats have been part of my life for over 30 years, and I currently share my home with my 15-year-old domestic shorthair, Meatball. Living with a senior cat has taught me that every cat has a unique personality, routine, and comfort level, and I believe the best care comes from respecting those differences. What sets me apart is reliability. If I tell you I'll be there, I'll be there. As a U.S. Air Force veteran, I learned the importance of responsibility, attention to detail, and following through on my commitments. Those values guide how I care for every pet and every home I'm trusted to enter. Whether your cat is outgoing and playful or prefers quiet companionship, I'm happy to meet them on their terms. I'll carefully follow feeding schedules, clean litter boxes, refresh water, provide playtime or affection if they want it, and make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable. I also provide photo and message updates as often as you'd like, so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands. I'm respectful, organized, calm, and quiet while staying in clients' homes, and I know how important it is to maintain the routines that help cats feel secure. I'm available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and for repeat clients I'm happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. My goal is simple: when you come home, your cat is content, your home is just as you left it, and you have complete peace of mind while you're away.
About: I’ve had cats since I was a child and have pet sit for over 12 years for others. I can handle litterbox maintenance, wet or dry food, meds, etc! Whether your cats are cuddlers, playful, or solitary I’d be happy to watch them and ensure they’re having a good time while you’re away!
About: While full transparency, I am a dog person over a cat person I still love them! I always say I’ll get a cat, but only by means of the cat distribution system. Truly, as my clientele has grown cats have swayed me more this year than ever. What’s better than a lower maintenance dog (basically)?
“Kelly was beyond a great sitter with my 5 cats. Very conscientious and communicative. Devoted alot of time and concern to wrangling one of my cats in at night. I recommend her and her services to anyone.”
“Lauren was an extremely caring and empathetic caretaker for my elderly cat. She was very attentive to his complex needs and provided me with detailed information about his well being when I was overseas. I really appreciate all she did while taking care of him. I highly recommend her to take care of your beloved fur family members.”

“Etta was awesome!! Very communicative and great company for my little baby girl. She was very excited to take care of Gecka and took great care of her. She was very mindful of her potty training schedule and her meal. I am glad I picked her to take care of my puppy.”
“He was wonderful with my two little ones. He’s such a sweet man. I highly recommend him especially if you’re traveling through New Orleans like i was.”

About: What sets me apart is that I’m a dedicated dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. As the owner of a Golden Retriever, I have hands-on daily experience with exercise needs, routines, leash walking, playtime, and providing loving attention. I’m patient, dependable, and focused on making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy during our time together. Whether your dog is energetic and needs an active walk or prefers a slower pace, I can adjust to their needs and personality. I also understand the importance of communication and will keep you updated so you feel confident while your pet is in my care. Every boarding includes: * Personalized care based on your dog’s routine * Regular photo and video updates * Frequent walks and potty breaks * A personalized end-of-stay report summarizing your dog’s meals, walks, behavior, and overall experience Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. As a university instructor with a flexible schedule, I have the flexibility to provide frequent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I care for every dog as an individual, following their normal routine as closely as possible while providing regular photo updates and a personalized boarding summary at the end of each stay. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I care for every dog as an individual by following their normal feeding, potty, exercise, and sleep routines as closely as possible. I require proof of current rabies vaccination before boarding to help maintain a safe environment for every pet in my home. I provide regular photo and video updates throughout each stay so you can have peace of mind while you’re away, and every boarding concludes with a personalized summary of your dog’s stay. My goal is to create a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for like family.
“Ellen took great care of Milo for daycare for a day. Milo seemed like he had a great time with Ellen and the other dogs. Ellen was very easy to communicate with and sent us plenty of adorable photos so we felt very comfortable leaving Milo with her. Thank you, Ellen!”
“Kimba came for a drop in with Natasha’s and had a great evening. She got her walks and dinner. We will definitely use Natasha again!! She also has great New Orleans music advice!”
About: Hi! I’m Eden, an animal lover with both personal and professional experience caring for pets. I’m currently a Veterinary Assistant at Château Veterinary Hospital in Kenner and am attending Delgado Community College to become a Veterinary Technician. I share my home with 8 amazing animals, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, or just plenty of love and attention, I’m happy to help. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m committed to providing a safe, reliable, and stress-free experience for both you and your pets. I look forward to meeting you and your best friend! I have 8 animals and I take care of them everyday. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies!!! I also work at a vet hospital. I have a fenced yard and all of my animals love dogs. I have a very nice spacious home and a couch for the babies to lay.
“I felt so comfortable leaving Pip with Cheyenne in her home. I could see he immediately took to her and it was a great fit. She walked and played with him and also provided a calm environment for him while I was away. I am so happy to be able to rely on Cheyenne when I need help with Pip!”
About: I pet sit because I want to, not because I need to💜. I live on the trail and have a small yard! It’s a passion of mine to be around your pets. As the the oldest of 5 much younger siblings and a former professional nanny, I am a natural caregiver! Now, I am an independent hairstylist that works for myself, and as an animal lover, I have naturally become many of my clients trusted go-to pet sitter, especially for in house vacation pet sitting. I am highly trained as a former animal foster (including the bottle babies that require so much attention and responsibility) and as a professional care giver. I also grew up with non-traditional critters including, but not limited to, hedgehogs, salamanders, iguanas, guinea pigs, gerbils, etc. so I’m cool with whatever you throw at me! LGBTQ+ friendly!! I work for myself part time as a hairstylist. I make my own hours so it is very easy to not schedule on the days I am needed or to schedule large breaks in between. As a former nanny and elder millennial (lol) I am very responsible first! I always double check leashes, harnesses, doors, etc so you can leave your home feeling great with your guys in my hands. At my clients home, I very much like to follow their rules and instructions to the detail. I keep a photo and/or list of all instructions on my phone and a physical copy in my car. At my own home, I like to listen to what my clients feel comfortable with and follow that as discussed with them. I do like their pets to feel like I’m their loving grandma- they always get extra love and long walks when I come to see them!
“If I could leave 10 gold stars I would! Lindsey took such good care of my very spoiled little pugs. They hate being alone and I don't think they had a moment unattended in the 5 days they spent with Lindsey. Her dog Lola sealed the deal for the pugs as they love other dogs and feel like it's a party if other furry beings are around. On the second morning we were to take the dogs to Lindsey they didn't get off the couch. As soon as we asked if they wanted to see Lola, they were immediately at the door- such a good sign! Every night we picked up happy, tired doggies. We were able to visit New Orleans without worrying about our babies. A Godsend! Thank you so much Lindsey. We so appreciate you!”
“So great with my puppy. Puppies can be a lot to handle and she was very patient and understanding. Will definitely use her again :) Thank you, Evlin! - Marvin”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and have experience with a wide range of personalities, from high-energy dogs to more sensitive or anxious ones. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s emotional needs and body language, and I prioritize making them feel safe, calm, and understood in their environment. I have hands-on experience with crate training, building positive associations, and helping dogs develop confidence when left alone. I’m patient, consistent, and gentle in my approach. I tailor care to each dog rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to create a calm, secure experience for them while you’re away. I occasionally bring my well-socialized dog with me for longer stays, but only with prior approval and proper introductions. I’m a full-time dog sitter and spend most of the time at my house, which allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced in yard for the zoomies and I’ve dedicated a fold out couch for the dog in addition to my bed for any cuddle bubs! There’s a splash-pad and cooling stations so no one overheats after a big romp around the yard. I structure my days around walks, play, and downtime, and I’m mindful of keeping routines consistent so pets feel secure. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and extended care on both weekdays and weekends, and I prioritize being present and your dogs will rarely, if at all, be left alone. I’m located in a quiet part of the outer 9th ward. My neighbors are friendly dog lovers too. I provide a calm, structured, and attentive environment where your pet’s safety and comfort are the top priority. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual needs, and I adjust my approach to help each dog feel safe and understood. I’m experienced with crate use, positive reinforcement, and helping dogs settle in new environments. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and take care to avoid overwhelming situations, especially for more sensitive or anxious dogs. I know when to separate dogs and how to read body language before any accidents can transpire. In your home or mine, I maintain a clean, predictable space and ensure pets are supervised, exercised appropriately, and never left in situations where they could feel unsafe or stressed.
“Very happy! Will use Ashley again for my next trip to New Orleans! She updated me with pictures and made me feel more comfortable leaving Charlie for the day! Thank you so much!”
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.

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.
“Oshie treated Miles like family during his visit! We received pictures of him throughout the day and we knew he was in good hands right from the start! Oshie was a lovely and gracious host all around! When we inevitably visit New Orleans again, we will definitely be reaching out again! Thank you so much!”
“Cindy is the BEST! We are so grateful and we are so lucky that our doggo was under Cindy’s care! From the moment we met Cindy - we were comforted by her inviting nature. We are from out of town, and Cindy cared for our sensitive dog while we saw the sites of New Orleans! Cindy and her beautiful home with a spacious, fenced-in yard are a total dream! We feel like we met a new friend. Thank you, Cindy!??❤️ We will definitely stay connected! We give her all the accolades possible and will recommend her to all of our friends and family!”
“Winston had a great stay with Amanda. She was so accommodating and flexible, with great communication. Winston has anxiety but he was clearly at ease during both drop off and pick up. Thank you Amanda!”

About: I have hands on experience with dog walking, house sitting, and cat sitting, and I’ve also had dogs of my own, giving me a strong understanding of daily care, routines, and pet behavior. I’m reliable, communicative, and detail oriented, making sure your pet stays on their routine and feels comfortable at home.

“Megan, is a lifesaver. I was in texas for work and needed a last minute dog walker. She and my fur baby jade connected very well. Megan is on time to walk jade, she is respectful, and I will be scheduling her when I need someone to look after jade. Big Thanks for your help Megan, again life save.”
“Dani was great with my two cats and one dog. She was incredibly communicative and responsive. All my girls were happy and well fed when I returned from my trip. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a cat/dog sitter”
About: What sets me apart is the time and care I put into getting to know every pet as an individual. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, so I’m always willing to create a care plan that’s tailored specifically to their needs. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, needs extra patience, or has special instructions, I’m happy to adapt my care to make them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet, so you can feel confident they’re receiving the same love, attention, and consistency they get from you. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, giving me the flexibility to provide dependable, attentive care. My schedule allows plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, medication if needed, and quality one-on-one attention, so your pet will never feel rushed or overlooked while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, feeding, fresh water, medication if needed, and lots of affection. With my veterinary clinic experience, I’m also attentive to any changes in behavior or health, giving pet parents added peace of mind while they’re away.
About: I’ve cared for pets since I was 8 years old and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments—including my own, and dogs I’ve fostered. As a full-time teacher, I bring patience, calm energy, and structure to my care. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I treat every pet like my own—with love, consistency, and a safe space to feel at home.

I’m reliable, flexible on Saturdays, and love helping pups feel loved and secure while you’re away. I care for pets with patience, calm energy, and safety in mind. I can provide crate space if needed, and I keep a quiet, structured environment so your pup feels right at home. Whether your dog needs a relaxed space or gentle company, I’ll tailor care to their needs.

About: My family rescued our first dog, April from the local dive bar when I was six years old. According to the vet, April was just two weeks. She had been separated from her mother at birth and hadn’t even opened her eyes yet. My parents worried she'd be too much trouble. I begged to keep her and promised I'd take care of her. April became my sister, my best friend, and my greatest teacher. I fed April from a bottle, taught her how to walk up the stairs, and took her to puppy training classes. April taught me the practice of presence, and the value of unconditional love. Our time spent together makes up some of my most cherished childhood memories. At the age of 13, pet-sitting became my first job. I loved it so much, I didn’t even understand how it could be considered a job. I took care of the animals, and the animals took care of me. In my decade+ of pet-sitting, I’ve worked with a range of breeds, ages, and temperaments. Walking 100lb. pitbulls with fear aggression. Administering medication to seniors. Feeding finicky rescued stray cats. I even fostered and re-homed an abandoned puppy that found me on the beaches of Costa Rica. I can confidently claim that I’ve never once had an animal “reject” me as their caretaker, and I think that says a lot. In the last 6 years, I’ve been living and traveling as a digital nomad. My lifestyle doesn’t currently allow for a pet of my own, so pet-sitting is a blessing that allows me the opportunity to care for pets as if they were my own. I work part-time as a meditation & yoga teacher, and part-time remote as an event organizer. This lifestyle allows me to be very flexible in taking on pet-sitting and house-sitting opportunities. I can build most of my work day around your pets schedule (and I'm more than happy to do so!) I offer long-term and short-term visits and overnight stays to take care of your pets in their own home. I've found that, for most pets, being in the security and routine of their own environment is the best way for them to cope with their owners temporary absence. I make sure to upkeep your pet's sense of "normalcy" to the best of my ability by feeding and walking them at regular intervals, being an active participant in play time (when desired), giving them snuggles (when desired), and just keeping them company! I make sure to upkeep YOUR sense of "normalcy" by respecting your space, keeping it as clean and organized as when I arrive (if not even more so), and following any & all house rules. In addition to overnights, I LOVE to take on daily walks and wellness checks when you're at work or just too busy to do it all on your own!
About: I have been around all kinds of animals my whole life. Aside from raising and training my own dogs, I helped raise and train service dogs for over three years. These dogs have gone onto incredible careers helping others all over the country! I would love to help you and your furry friend :) I am a recent Tulane graduate! Currently working while I apply to PhD programs. Very flexible with reliable transportation around New Orleans. Located in Irish channel area. I have spent over 10 years caring for animals. In addition to my experience training service dogs, my mother has her own dog walking business which I assist with whenever I am home.
About: I am a passionate dog lover with extensive experience as my father is a veterinarian at Cornell University and I have been volunteering with many animal projects since I was a child. Furthermore, I used to participate in dog sled racing and recently finished an internship working with over 100 sled dogs, letting them out, training, feeding, and handling them. My family currently owns one dog yet in the past we have owned up to 26, and I have single handedly cared for 10 at a time. I have been pet sitting for 4 years, am dog CPR certified, and can administer oral medication if needed. I have worked with dogs and cats of all sizes, and am most comfortable with large and medium sized dogs I work from home and regularly travel/watch pets using the trusted Housesitter app. My schedule consists of assigned task, so I will be able to walk and give love to your furry family throughout the day. I try to keep routine as usual so that pets have an easy transition of care. I’m great at engaging with active pets or lounging with older/special needs pets.
About: Passionate pet sitter committed to personalized care. Years of experience providing compassionate care, ensuring tails wag and purrs persist. I've worked with the SPCA, neighbors, and my own furry companions. Your pet's well-being is my priority! I’m a full-time petsitter so have flexibility to accommodate your schedule. I’m available during business hours or after hours for those requiring extra special care. I have a secured home where pets can roam, and a fully-fenced backyard. Depending on your specific needs, your pets could spend time with me indoors, on walks, at the dog park, and with me in the backyard, if weather permits. Pet camera shared with you while you pooch rests while you're away.
About: I have extensive experience caring for small, medium, and large dogs in a personal and professional capacity! I have 1 year of professional experience as a veternarian assistant. During this time, I learned how to properly administer medication, bathe,and care for a wide variety of doggies! I personally grew up in a dog loving home with three entergetic little Yorkies! I loved them so much and cared for them from the time they were 8 weeks through their senior age. I currently have my own little yorkie named Guacamole, who is just as fun as her name! I am the go-to dog sitter in my family and always try to make the experience as amazing as possible for the doggies! I am currently in my 4th of medical school in the and have extra time while on less demanding rotations to dedicate to helping to care for your fur babies! I’m typically free during the day before 4pm I have a fenced in yard and have one sweet yorkie to keep your doggie company! I can very easily crate either your pet or mine if that is needed!

“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)”
“Desirae was amazing with my pups! She sent lots of photos and clearly she and her daughter gave them lots of love and attention. She even went out of her way to bathe them so they came home nice and clean! She used to be a vet tech and even teaches out to me with an issue she identified in one of our girls and was able to cure her. Thanks so much Desirae!! We will definitely use her again!”
“We are so thankful for Jon! He did an INCREDIBLE job watching our pack of 4 poms over our wedding weekend! We have never used Rover before or left our dogs overnight and were pretty nervous. We even got on a call with Jon prior to booking and he was more than willing to answer our millions of questions. He was flexible with drop off and pick up times (we drove into NOLA from STL) and was so patient with my "helicopter parent" husband that wanted to set up their beds himself and was so anxious to leave them. Jon's house is also on a side street that made drop off really easy. We received multiple updates and the cutest photos the whole weekend! Our pack definitely had a great time. They loved the backyard! We have a senior dog with mobility issues that he was very careful with, and another pom with some hearing and vision loss and he was wonderful with both. It was very obvious that Jon loves dogs and took care of our fur babies like they were his own! When we picked the pups up he had everything packed up which was a huge time saver since we were driving back home. He had even ran one of our blankets through the dryer so they would have a warm spot to lay since the weather had gotten cold that morning! It is so difficult to trust someone else with your animals, and we were lucky to find such a caring and thoughtful Rover. Jon, thank you so much for going above and beyond to take care of our poms while we got married! See you next year! (-:”
“Etta to the rescue! Was out of the country and found that drop in visits didn't work for my boxer. Etta responded right away, worked with the drop in sitter to make the hand off to boarding with Etta seemless. Long story short my dog also had as good as a vacation with Etta's other boarders as I did.”
“I felt full trust to leave my baby boy with Katherine and her husband. They both work from home so plenty of attention for the pups and Grits had a great time. Great people!”
“Regina is exceedingly friendly, communicative, and shares lots of photos. I thought she was very accommodating. This was my first time using River. We met up for a meet and greet with my dog and went over care. I felt very comfortable letting my dog stay with her as I knew she was in capable care. Also I sincerely believe that my dog is better behaved now than she was when I dropped her off. I can't wait to drop my pup off again!”
“WOW! What a great stay my maizy had! The pictures I got I will save for a lifetime. Filled with so many activates and great communication the entire time. I would highly recommend!!”
“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!”
“This was our first time leaving Hazel with someone. We were nervous, but Roxanne & Reese made us feel at ease immediately. We were very pleased with how welcoming they were to her and even more happy to hear that she was a very good girl while we were gone.”
“I have an 18 year old Shih Tzu and I was a lil nervous about leaving her, but Jessica was wonderful with her. She spoiled her daily, sent updates daily along with photos of how my old lady was doing. I highly recommend Jessica for pet sitting.”
“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!”
“Natalie was amazing! We booked with her to board our dog for a weekend while we’re were in town visiting. She sent us plenty of pictures and updates throughout the stay which we really appreciated! She took great care of our dog and we’re so thankful :)”

“Shannon went above and beyond for my two girls who are senior doggos with special needs. She truly treated them as her own and I absolutely will be using her again. I feel very lucky that I was able to have her be their sitter, thank you so much Shannon!”
“Robin was wonderful with our Luna. She has a great place that Luna loved exploring and sent us sweet pics of her playing. I'd recommend Robin and world use her again.”
“Lindsey and her family were fantastic while watching my pup. This was my first time using Rover, so I was nervous, but Lindsey sent plenty of updates/videos/pictures which really eased my anxiety. I will definitely be using Lindsey again!”
“Ben was great! Super flexible when I asked him to look after my fur baby one more day. He sent frequent photos and updates of my dog which was greatly appreciated. Will definitely book with him again as my pup seemed very happy staying with him. Thanks again Ben!”
