Cat caregivers near you - Lafitte
About: I have experience helping out taking care of my sister’s cats when she was living with us. I used to be a little bit scared of cats but now I have come to understand that cats are different in how they show affection and how they want to be treated.
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: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and they’ve always been at the center of my world. My most recent pup, Effy, was with me for 15 years — she was truly the love of my life. While I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own again, I couldn’t imagine my life without them, which is why I’m so excited to be here on Rover! Your pet will be loved and cared for like my own. I can’t wait to meet them I work from home Monday–Friday, so your pet will have my full attention throughout the day — no long stretches alone. I am able to work remotely so care during the day is no issue. I live in an apartment in Meraux above my dad’s office, so while there’s no yard, we have plenty of space to get outside for walks. There are stairs, but I’m happy to carry pets up and down as needed.
“Eryn was absolutely wonderful! She listened to all our directions and kept us up to date the whole time. She was patient and loving with our crazy animals and we are so grateful to her. We will absolutely use her again!”
“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 have have been caring of all types of animals since I was 7+ years old. I have taken care of new born puppies, kittens, raccoons and reptiles of all types throughout my life and I love it!! If I could cuddle a gator I would!!! I have also done whelping services for many family members. I have done a lot of fostering and bottle feeding both puppies and kittens. I’m currently working only for Rover. So I can dedicate all my time to your fur baby and his/her needs and the loving care and schedule you want for them. However I am instructed to. I am there to make you and your pet comfortable while away. It can be stressful for pet and pet parents when they are not together. I try to keep your pets schedule as similar to what they are used to with you. Feeding/ walking/ playing/ sleeping/ waking up will all be as close to their normal schedule as possible. Their comfort is my first priority.
About: I’ve been caring for cats since I was 10 years old and have over 15 years of hands-on experience. I’ve cared for my own cats as well as those of friends, family, and neighbors, including kittens, senior cats, and shy or anxious cats. I know that every cat has a different personality, so I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to feed, refresh water, scoop litter boxes, play, give plenty of affection (if they want it!), and keep you updated with photos and messages. I treat every cat as if they were my own and will make sure they receive the love, patience, and care they deserve.
“So communicative and flexible when we needed someone to do a drop in last minute while we were out all day. Would highly recommend for your pet care needs. Thank you!!”
About: Hi! My name is Brion. (Bree-ahn) I’m a 32 year old female. I’ve always had some sort of pet in my life. I currently have a 1 y/o male golden doodle who is not spayed. I also have a 6 y/o daughter who absolutely adores animals. On weekends my daughter and I would love nothing more than a play buddy. We like taking walks outside and getting fresh air when needed. We live in a fenced home with a backyard, front yard, & a park. So there’s plenty of space for activities and energy. I also have a large cage of my own if needed.
“I had a great experience with Leanne (drop-in visits, 2 cats). She provided consistent updates with prompt, reliable communication and left the house better than she found it. Will look to book her again in the future!”
About: Been giving my love to animals since I was a little girl. Family have trusted me with providing what is necessary for our furry friends. I'm currently working part-time and have a flexible schedule, and have enough time watching over furry family. I can do frequent house visits if needed. I don't host animals in my home but and open to pet sit and house sit if needed. I can also do house visits if needed.
“Olivia was great. I was updated multiple times a day. I received pictures and videos of my sweet boy Nyx. The overall experience was amazing. I do plan on booking with Olivia again if needed.”
“This was the second time Adam stayed at our house and took care of our cat, Gonzi. Once again, Adam's care for Gonzi was wonderful. As well as being attentive to our specific requests, they spent time with Gonzi and gave him quality care. We received updates and returned to a happy cat and a clean and tidy home. We look forward to booking Adam again and would not hesitate to recommend them to other pet owners.”
“Ayanna did a house sit with Lamborghini over the holidays and left the house looking great. She had a bit of a tough case with my anxious cat but she worked hard to keep Lamborghini as comfortable as possible and on her routines. I appreciate her care.”
About: Mother of 5 furbabies and full-time non traditional student, caring and loving for animals is part of my daily life. I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits and a lamb (Popcorn) for pets. Youth member of 4-H clubs for both sheep and rabbits. Animals and caring for them was part of my upbringing and part of my daily life. Currently, I have 5 furbabies - all rescues and ranging in size from toy Chihuahua to my big girl pit bull. I saved her from death row (so the pound told me) but the truth is, she picked me. I would have 10 more if legally allowed. My retirement goal is to own a senior dog rescue/retirement center so we can enjoy our golden years together. I'm currently a full-time student, so I have a fairly flexible schedule and I'm only in classes two days a week. I have owned all types of dog personalities and have reasons for loving all of them - from the active and playful to the calm and snuggly and to those in between. Cats share my attitude so we get along well with some kind of mutual respect for each other. I love the difference in personalities between cats and dogs - there's a lot of comedy to support this fact. I'm also a lover of New Orleans and a former tour guide - so walking for a living is not a new thing. I prefer the activity over sitting behind a desk. Most dogs love my doggie massages and I'm a worthy opponent for any tug-o-war game. I can throw a ball far, bounce a ball high, and hold my own with the frisbee. Dogs also say I'm a great conversationalist with interesting tidbits for about how old the fire hydrant they're marking is as well as keen safety information, like why dogs can't swim in the River and why I don't recommend the lake either. Dogs also like my firm but fun nature - like toddlers, dogs appreciate routine, boundaries, and to gain their respect you have to enforce them. I also do not believe in hitting animals. My dogs are just as terrified of a water spray bottle - much like most cats - and it's far less harmful than hitting/smacking/etc them. Placing your trust in a stranger for the care and love of your furchild is never an easy task. As a fellow fur (and human) mother, I get that. I am extremely prompt, love taking photos, and love walking the city. I have a reliable 4-door car as well, so whether your dog just loves R-I-D-E-S (shh! don't say that out loud) or you need me to get them to the vet while on vacation - rest assured, I can cover all bases. I hope to meet your and fur family soon!!

“Always great to bring Hazel to Jessica. I never doubt or worry if Hazel is having a good time. And for spa day I never doubt that Hazel will come back clean and smelling great! Best Dog sitter my dog ever experienced!”
“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!”
About: I'm a stay at home mom with toddlers and pets of our own. I have 9 year old lab- shepherd mix and two male cats. All of my fur babies were adopted. I worked at a animal shelter and animal hospital so I know how to care and love your fur babies like if they were my own. We absolutely love having pets in our home I'm a stay at home mom of 2 toddlers and 3 fur babies so most of my time is spent at home so I will always be here for your fur babies I have a big fenced in yard and a very friendly dog but I can also keep all pets separated if needed. My dog loves to stay in our master bedroom so your fur baby would have the whole house to freely adventure
About: I have experience with all kinds of animals including horses, goats, and chickens. Dogs are the best. I can't remember a time where I did not have a dog in my life. Originally from TX in the US marines me and my soon to be wife. Have our first puppy. I am looking for a 2nd job, and pet care would be an amazing 2nd job. I can care for the pet on weekends, and once I get off work. My normal work week is Monday-Friday 6am-430pm or 0600 to 1630 Honestly probly depends on the pet, younger dogs especially puppies need more attention than older dogs, and older dogs may have different needs. It's case by case basis, on what each pet needs. I do like to play with the dogs I care for.
“Michael was very kind and sent pics of my Rico while we went exploring! So nice to not worry about my pup while we were having fun. Definitely will use him again when we return!!:) Thank you Michael!!”
“Etta was amazing! This way our first time using the app and doing a dog sitter. Etta immediately gave us a huge sense of security and reassurance that our fur baby would be in good hands the moment we met her. Being that it was a first time our dog was nervous and braked at her dogs and the neighbors; which was very unlike her. Etta was so patient, calm and kind helping both our dog and us through the process. She sent us multiple texts and photo updates throughout the day which also made my girls smile knowing Bali was in good hands. Upon our return Etta provided homemade dog artwork for the girls (made especially for them from Bali). It was such a wonderful gift to remember the day and Etta! I would highly recommend her to anyone especially a new comer like us. Thank you Etta for everything and providing a safe loving landing place for our Bali while we explored the city! Wishing you the very best!! 🤍🤍 Sara”
“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!”
“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!”

“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!”
“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.”
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.

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.
“My puppy had a great time with Emily and her pets! They were all so sweet and everyday my puppy tried to drag me to the door in her excitement to see Emily and her fur babies!”
“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 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!
“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re a high energy dog, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.
“We are so grateful we found Pauline! We were traveling through the New Orleans Area for Jazz fest and needed some day care for our dog Charlie. We’ve never used Rover before and were super apprehensive, but Pauline offered a meet and greet beforehand which made us feel so much better. Charlie loved staying with Pauline. She did such a great job taking care of him, he can’t wait to go back! Thank you Pauline for your thoughtfulness and dedication to our little guy, you made our day so much more enjoyable knowing he was safe with you!”

About: Hi! My name is Brion. (Bree-ahn) I’m a 32 year old female. I’ve always had some sort of pet in my life. I currently have a 1 y/o male golden doodle who is not spayed. I also have a 6 y/o daughter who absolutely adores animals. On weekends my daughter and I would love nothing more than a play buddy. We like taking walks outside and getting fresh air when needed. We live in a fenced home with a backyard, front yard, & a park. So there’s plenty of space for activities and energy. I also have a large cage of my own if needed.
About: I’ve lived with and taken care of dogs since my early childhood. I currently operate a small dog walking business servicing the new orleans area. I currently plan on Pet walking and sitting on weekends and after 4pm on weekdays. I work full time and get off at 4pm which is right on time for walks, food and enrichment activities. I care for pets by making sure that they are consistently stimulated, whether that be music, petting, walks, conversation, play or mental enrichment. Your pet will be treated like family when you book with me :)
About: I’ve been walking and caring for animals since I was a young child, so I bring a lot of hands-on experience and confidence in handling pets of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to keep them safe, happy, and well-exercised. I’m currently working from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to pet care. I’ve developed strong time management and organizational skills that translate well into pet walking and training. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be available during key times of the day for walks, check-ins, and consistent training sessions. Since I’m already accustomed to planning my day around routines, I’m able to reliably incorporate pet care into my schedule while maintaining a high level of attention and consistency. This flexibility also means I can accommodate client needs more easily and provide dependable, attentive care for their pets. I provide a safe and trustworthy environment by prioritizing consistency, attentiveness, and clear communication. Because I work from home, pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to closely monitor their behavior, comfort, and safety at all times. My experience working with animals since childhood has taught me how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort early and respond appropriately. I also maintain a clean, organized space and follow any specific instructions from pet owners regarding routines, feeding, and training. Building trust is very important to me, so I make sure to communicate regularly with updates and ensure each pet is cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine attention.
About: Mother of 5 furbabies and full-time non traditional student, caring and loving for animals is part of my daily life. I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits and a lamb (Popcorn) for pets. Youth member of 4-H clubs for both sheep and rabbits. Animals and caring for them was part of my upbringing and part of my daily life. Currently, I have 5 furbabies - all rescues and ranging in size from toy Chihuahua to my big girl pit bull. I saved her from death row (so the pound told me) but the truth is, she picked me. I would have 10 more if legally allowed. My retirement goal is to own a senior dog rescue/retirement center so we can enjoy our golden years together. I'm currently a full-time student, so I have a fairly flexible schedule and I'm only in classes two days a week. I have owned all types of dog personalities and have reasons for loving all of them - from the active and playful to the calm and snuggly and to those in between. Cats share my attitude so we get along well with some kind of mutual respect for each other. I love the difference in personalities between cats and dogs - there's a lot of comedy to support this fact. I'm also a lover of New Orleans and a former tour guide - so walking for a living is not a new thing. I prefer the activity over sitting behind a desk. Most dogs love my doggie massages and I'm a worthy opponent for any tug-o-war game. I can throw a ball far, bounce a ball high, and hold my own with the frisbee. Dogs also say I'm a great conversationalist with interesting tidbits for about how old the fire hydrant they're marking is as well as keen safety information, like why dogs can't swim in the River and why I don't recommend the lake either. Dogs also like my firm but fun nature - like toddlers, dogs appreciate routine, boundaries, and to gain their respect you have to enforce them. I also do not believe in hitting animals. My dogs are just as terrified of a water spray bottle - much like most cats - and it's far less harmful than hitting/smacking/etc them. Placing your trust in a stranger for the care and love of your furchild is never an easy task. As a fellow fur (and human) mother, I get that. I am extremely prompt, love taking photos, and love walking the city. I have a reliable 4-door car as well, so whether your dog just loves R-I-D-E-S (shh! don't say that out loud) or you need me to get them to the vet while on vacation - rest assured, I can cover all bases. I hope to meet your and fur family soon!!
About: I’ve grown to love the company of animals over people most days lol. I’m a doggy mom to a big Pitt/Hound 8 month old puppy named Cocoa & he’s about 75lbs already! I’m also a mom of 4 so I’m pretty good at multitasking. Im a chef & I also own a small cleaning business & have often times been entrusted with the tasks of pet sitting, feeding, walking & bathing of their fur babies while on jobs or just as help on days outside of cleaning jobs. I have healthy recipes for animal treats & love to watch them gobble them down once permission is granted by mom or dad of course. Animals tend to gravitate towards me & I absolutely adore the good feels I get from their pure energy & love. I would be more than happy to meet your new fur babies & take part in spoiling them a little. Im an entrepreneur so my schedule is pretty flexible outside of my kids… I usually only need a days notice of a needed appointment for smoothie sailing on both sides but I’m definitely open to being on call of sorts if ever needed in an emergency situation. I can make accommodations for pet sitting during the day or over night whenever needed but only in the clients home as my home as small kids present always. I have no issue with crating your fur babies if needed. I’m knowledgeable on how to harness a dog & I know how to restrain them if transportation is ever required. I’ll care for your pets just as I would my own, with love & kindness.
