Personalized care for your dog or cat - Marrero
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Marrero
“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!”
“Very responsive and knowledgeable of each personal dog's needs. My two pit bulls can be difficult to take care of with one being extra nervous, anxious, and hyper and the other one being aggressive not getting along with any other dogs. Tyrone was able to keep my dogs active by letting them play in his yard and also taking them on walks each day while keeping them very safe. I would defiantly recommend his services and will be using him again.”
“Christine made my baby’s first sitting experience so easy! She was very attentive to his specific needs and kept me informed throughout the entire visit. I met with her before the planned visit to ensure my baby would be a good fit for her and her family (very important). I definitely will rebook another visit with her!”
“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!”
“Katherine and her family take such good care of our girl each time she stays with them. We have sent her to stay with them multiple times and each time they share plenty of photos and updates. Highly recommend!”
“This was my first time ever leaving my dog with a sitter and it couldn't have been a better experience. Serena and AJ were very communicative and responsible. Received daily updates and pictures of Remi which really put my mind at ease. Highly recommend!”
“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 :)”
“Aja was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Milo, over the Fourth of July holiday! She was kind, attentive, and genuinely cared for him while we were away. She kept in great communication the entire time and sent plenty of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear from the updates that Milo was happy, well-cared for, and comfortable in her care. I would highly recommend Aja to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate sitter. We’re so grateful we found her on Rover!”
“Jon was great! I had to leave town and had a last-minute Rover cancellation! Jon was incredibly easygoing and flexible in accommodating my nervous pup. Jon sent daily updates, which gave me such peace of mind. I’d absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog boarding services in the Uptown area!”
“I'm just so pleased with Dalia after my dogs' first stay with her! They're generally very anxious with new people. Dalia said that has typically not been an issue for her and turns out she was right! They seemed to really love her and warmed up quickly. She sent loads of video and photo updates and let me know how they were adjusting, which was WELL! She played ball with them and gave them time go romp in her large backyard but also walked them daily. She even sent a photo of them cuddling with her daughter on the sofa. Their stay with her was fairly short but I'm so impressed with how quickly they settled with her and how she invited them in as part of her family for the time she had them. I'll absolutely be sending my babies back to Dalia's anytime I leave town!”
“we had a really great experience w/ ellen taking care of our pup. she sent us tons of pics and updates every day and you could feel how happy our dog was with the whole experience. we felt super at ease during the 5 days that she spent with ellen, lacie and leo, and we would definitely like to use her services in the future. all the other reviews are true - ellen is really attentive to both the dogs she takes care of and the owners. very happy (-:”
“Lynn was so great! Nova and Tasi loved staying with her, she sent plenty of pictures and videos and kept me up to date on how they were. She had a fantastic yard for them to run around and get exercise. 10/10 will book her again if needed!”
“Pauline was wonderful with Tina! She cared for her as if she was her own. Tina is a senior dog and needs medication. Pauline was great with administering her meds and giving me updates. Our dog also has extreme anxiety and I could tell when I picked her up that she was in a comfortable and safe place the entire time. I highly recommend Pauline!”
“Chayanne was great with my best friend Phil. He came home happy and healthy and appropriately tired. She was super flexible with my schedule changes and a good communicator. Recommend!”
“Michael was great!!! Perfect location for us and Rim hadn't even missed me. He had such a good time with Michael. Will certainly repeat in the future if possible.”
“Randy is an amazing dog sitter! My pups loved being at his house and warmed up to him immediately. I received pictures everyday too. Randy is my go too dog sitter now. He is fabulous!”
“Always a 5-star experience with Regina! My senior dog Ducky is skittish and definitely has a lot of opinions about the world, but Regina understands her right away and treats her like family. Even after a two-week stay, Ducky came back happy, healthy, and totally herself. No issues at all! I really appreciate Regina’s care and dedication.”
“Iryna took wonderful care of my cat for 3 weeks. :) From the meet and greet, to the day I came back to pick her up, Iryna and her amazing family made sure my cat was comfortable in their home and well taken care of the entire time. Thank you sooo so much!!”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter, more flexible and communicative during a disaster of a trip, with layovers being extended, she communicated clearly and was flexible to keep my pet, I will definately use her again for this service”
“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!”

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!
“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.”
“Joy took such great care of my babies! My cats are timid and shy, and she was able to earn their trust and bond with them on her drop in visits. She is trustworthy and reliable. Will book with Joy again!”
“I messed up and left the chain hooked on the door so Jasmin couldn't get in. Fortunately, my cats had enough food and water to last until I got home. Jasmin was very kind about my mess up and still came to visit and pet the kitten through the crack in the front door!”
“Georgie took to Kallie right away when they met. I knew after their meeting and seeing their connection her visits will go well. Kallie is so sweet and was very attentive to both cats' need which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Thank you Kallie.”
“Kate did an excellent job of making sure our kitty was well taken care of while we went on a 5-day vacation. She was always happy to answer any questions I had and provided pictures every day to let us know our pet was in good hands. I would definitely hire Kate again for any of my pet sitting needs!”
“Morgan was wonderful. She was on time, loving & attentive to my kitties, she followed instructions well & I'll absolutely be using her in the future if time permits for both of us”
“She was great!! My cat had so much fun with her. I’m new to this app and having someone house sit but i had no worry with her. She went above and beyond and i will definitely use her again”
About: I’ve always grown up with animals but mostly cats. My family has always known me to be the one who’s going to take in a cat off the street if needed. We once had 4 female kitties and all got pregnant at once and ended up with 14 kittens! I’ve had inside and outside cats. I’ve cat sat many times for many people I know. I even did a school project before on the psychology of how cats act. I think anyone who knows me knows I’m a decided cat person. I’m even obsessed with hello kitty!
“Faith took great care of my two senior cats while I was away. She also brought in mail/packages and provided great communication. I would not hesitate to use her again!”

About: I have lived with several cats over the years and absolutely love to hangout with them. Activities range from watching the birds together, to going on walks, to slow blinking at each other if they prefer to keep their distance. I have pet sat both dogs and cats for friends and family over the years. Feeding them, playing with them, and generally socializing with them while their owner is away for work or vacation.

I will be choosing her over and over again without a doubt.”
About: Hi!! I’m Eva, a graduate from LSU & currently in my MBA at Loyola. I have hands-on experience through fostering, volunteer work, and caring for dogs with a range of temperaments. I’m familiar with training basics, positive reinforcement, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m calm, attentive, and reliable, and I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment while keeping owners updated and at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows pet care to fit easily into my daily and weekly routine. My summer is free, thanks to being a student. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive reinforcement, while giving pets plenty of attention and affection. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I keep the space clean, calm, and comfortable and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and informed.
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.
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Wendy always goes above and beyond! She makes sure my pup is safe, entertained and happy. Not only does she make sure Daisy is having fun with play, but she also practices commands and sends updates throughout the stay. I’m always appreciative of Wendy’s communication and attention to detail, and I know Daisy will be back for many more play dates!”
“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!”
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.
“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!”
“Margaret was great with our baby while she healed from her spay. She even set up a mattress for her to lay on and be cozy. We will definitely use her services again.”
“Evlin was Great! She took great care of my dog Dutch. She sent pictures daily and made sure he had plenty of attention. I would definitely use her service again.”
“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!”

About: Hello, I’m so excited to have you stumble upon my account!! My name is Montanna and I’ve lived in Louisiana my whole life. From Gonzales, to Denham Springs, to Baton Rouge, and now in Uptown.

I am only busy Tuesday evening to Thursday evening so Thursday night to Tuesday afternoon I am free and open for bookings! Me and my cat Charlie are ready to provide a safe space to hangout. For dogs, I love right next to parks and have plenty of walking areas right around my home. I will ask many questions and follow your exact pets needs in my home as well as yours.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and I have a cat for about a year now. I have Wrynn a 1 yr old dog and Nova a 3 yr old cat. Wrynn and Nova are great with all animals. I work from home and have a very open availability. I am basically available for any and all of your needs (and of course your pets needs!) Lots of pets and exercise. I am currently training my dog in learning commands and building her confidence as she is timid but very sweet. I would be happy to include yours if you’d like!
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: I go beyond the walk to teach your pet new tricks and manners. Plus, my experience caring for elder pets ensures your senior animal receives the extra love and attention they deserve.

For in home pet care, I ensure they get outdoor time and visits for their happiness and well being!
About: I previously dog sat over the weekend with my sister using Rover. I loved the experience and am eagerly awaiting to meet new pets! I have pet sat both dogs and cats for friends over the years. Feeding them, taking them on walks, and generally socializing with them while their owner is away for work or vacation. I have free roam rabbit and have taken care of various small animals since I was young. I am always patient and gentle with animals, and love giving pets and cuddles when accepted by the animal. I recently moved back to New Orleans and currently do not have a regular job. I have completely open availability to meet pets in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I allow pets time and space to get to know me. This includes sitting the room together, speaking softly, and holding out my hand for sniffing. I am attentive to the pets boundaries and needs to provide the best care possible.
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: Since I was 7 years old, my family has loved two golden retrievers in our home in a town of Los Angeles. Rocky, our hyper and enthusiastic 1st one, was with us since I was 5 years old, and Spencer, the 2nd one I took care of, was a sweet senior dog who stayed in my family home until 2022 when he passed. My close friends and neighbors have relied on our family as the designated pet sitters for them because we love and respect dogs so much! We always think of our house as a mini dog-hotel during those times. With these experiences growing up, Rover has become the perfect place for me to help others with caring for their dogs in New Orleans. I am happy to walk/feed/bathe your pets whenever you request it too! I am currently studying for an exam for medical school. I would be happy to take study breaks as an opportunity for myself AND your pup to get some sunshine. I will be present with the dogs and take care of them to make sure your pups are happy. I like to keep my eye on dogs I’ve dogsat before, and I will be in contact if there’s anything unusual going on. I’ve let my dogs roam about the house, but if you prefer to keep them in an enclosed area, please let me know! Taking them for frequent walks or to the park is always nice too!

“Very responsive and knowledgeable of each personal dog's needs. My two pit bulls can be difficult to take care of with one being extra nervous, anxious, and hyper and the other one being aggressive not getting along with any other dogs. Tyrone was able to keep my dogs active by letting them play in his yard and also taking them on walks each day while keeping them very safe. I would defiantly recommend his services and will be using him again.”
“Katherine and her family take such good care of our girl each time she stays with them. We have sent her to stay with them multiple times and each time they share plenty of photos and updates. Highly recommend!”
“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 :)”
“Jon was great! I had to leave town and had a last-minute Rover cancellation! Jon was incredibly easygoing and flexible in accommodating my nervous pup. Jon sent daily updates, which gave me such peace of mind. I’d absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog boarding services in the Uptown area!”
“I'm just so pleased with Dalia after my dogs' first stay with her! They're generally very anxious with new people. Dalia said that has typically not been an issue for her and turns out she was right! They seemed to really love her and warmed up quickly. She sent loads of video and photo updates and let me know how they were adjusting, which was WELL! She played ball with them and gave them time go romp in her large backyard but also walked them daily. She even sent a photo of them cuddling with her daughter on the sofa. Their stay with her was fairly short but I'm so impressed with how quickly they settled with her and how she invited them in as part of her family for the time she had them. I'll absolutely be sending my babies back to Dalia's anytime I leave town!”
“Chayanne was great with my best friend Phil. He came home happy and healthy and appropriately tired. She was super flexible with my schedule changes and a good communicator. Recommend!”
“Always a 5-star experience with Regina! My senior dog Ducky is skittish and definitely has a lot of opinions about the world, but Regina understands her right away and treats her like family. Even after a two-week stay, Ducky came back happy, healthy, and totally herself. No issues at all! I really appreciate Regina’s care and dedication.”
“I could not have asked for a better sitter, more flexible and communicative during a disaster of a trip, with layovers being extended, she communicated clearly and was flexible to keep my pet, I will definately use her again for this service”
“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!”
“My dog had such a great experience with Margaret. Margaret sent videos and photos from daily walks with my baby. Belle was in great hands. I trust Margaret and will be using her services again for as long as she is available. Thank you Margaret.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds my whole life. As a teenager, I began taking care of dogs for folks in town that would go on vacation. Since then, I’ve often been the go-to guy for several friends and family that trusted me with their beloved pets. I’ve always found it natural to get along with dogs, even dogs that I was told didn’t generally take to strangers well. I’m more than happy to take care of all your dogsitting needs and hope to become your pup’s new best friend! I currently live a very pet friendly lifestyle. I can provide care during morning, afternoon, or evening hours. I can easily fit my schedule around the needs of your pets as I am frequently out in the neighborhood parks and on walks with friends both quad- and bi-pedal alike. I understand how different dogs can be in personality and energy, and can provide care accordingly. I'm just as comfortable lounging around the house as I am walking to the park or just wandering the neighborhood. I am sensitive to the needs of your pets and am always willing to assist in providing proper care when it comes to feeding for your pet or attending to their basic needs. If your pet has a specific diet or routine that needs to be attended to I am happy to give you my full effort to make them feel at home.
About: I've walked dogs in Dallas, Tx for three years. I've been taking care of my own dog since moving here to New Orleans. Love all kinds of dogs. I'm recently retired and looking for some extra income. I love all kinds of dogs big or small and their individual personalities. I'm also a long time cat owner and love them as well. I would like to offer my service to stay at your home with your pet. I will feed, adminster medicine, walk, and groom your pet.
“Carney Anne was amazing with our dog while we were out of town! Will absolutely rebook with her! She sent us daily pictures and videos, and kept us up to date with all that was going on while we were away. Our dog LOVED her time with Carney Anne.”
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.
“Etta Rachelle was very communicative, friendly and wonderful with my Kit! Absolutely loved getting to take home Kit’s “Art project.” Definitely recommend Etta Rachelle to anyone in the New Orleans area!”
“Ben is awesome with my boys! He’s extremely knowledgeable about how to handle them and has even given me some great training tips. He’s also very flexible and communicates well. I will continue to send my boys to Ben!”
“I was away for two weeks, which is the longest my dog, Max, and I have ever been apart. Leaving him with Roxanne and her family was the best decision ever. He was definitely well cared for, and the next time I travel, I hope they will take Max again. I highly recommend Roxanne. I know how important it is to be able to trust your dog sitter and I absolutely trust Roxanne and her family.”
“Beth was amazing. She immediately adjusted to all of my dog’s quirks and send lots of pics and videos. Bahula was completely at ease with her. Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Jessica was ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL! This was my first time ever doing anything like this and while i was initially nervous. Jessica QUICKLY eased my anxiousness! I received very detailed updates and photos. Maxwell truly enjoyed his time can’t wait for next visit!!!”
