“Desirae was great, going above and beyond, treating Jazz' chronic ear issues better than we do ourselves! Jazz seemed happy (via the photos and videos) and took to her right-away. He was in excellent hands.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, starting from rescuing strays as a kid. I have years of hands on experience with dogs of all ages, including my own senior pup who was named Cici. She needed medication around the clock and caring for her taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to follow a strict care routine. I’m comfortable giving meds, understanding special needs, and making sure pets feel loved, safe, and understood. I would love to hang out with your fur babies and give them some extra loving! I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! Every day will be a party and I’d love to have some company! In my home, pets will have a safe, clean and comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime and plenty of snuggles. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I will make sure they get regular leashed walks, potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time. I will stick to their usual feeding schedule, keep fresh water available at all times and follow any medication or special care routines exactly.
“Left my two pups with Whitney for a week while we went on vacation. She sent videos of them playing while we were gone, which was nice. When I picked them up, she told me all about how they did and how much she loved them. You could tell she really cared about and for them. One of the best parts: when we got give, they were so tired from playing and running around that they almost immediately crashed. Thanks, Whitney! We'll definitely reach out to you again the next time we need someone to watch the pups!”
“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 girls were happy and immediately comfortable with Elena! She sent photos and updates, and when I ran into unexpected car trouble she was able to drop them off to me last minute. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Rachel and Mike have taken great care of Leo and Ellie both times they’ve had them! We’re so happy we’ve found someone who we know they’re in good in hands with!”
“Kenneth was amazing to work with. Really easy to communicate and coordinate and provided frequent updates on how Gorda was doing. I could tell he took really good care of her and that she had a great time there.”
“Blair was great with my baby girl. It was my first time using Rover. I would recommend Blair to care for your furbaby. She sends pictures and keeps in touch while you are away. It put me at ease while I was away.”
““Michael’s the Best! he’s been taking care of my 2 dogs off & on for months. he’s always prompt, easy to reach, reliable & trustworthy..that means a lot to me, knowing that my dogs are in good hands”..”
“Mary was a wonderful sitter. She sent pictures and kept me updated on the status of my fur baby. He seemed to be in great spirits upon picking him up. Will definitely recommend Mary as a sitter and utilize her service again in the near future.”
“Dalia is a wonderful sitter and always takes great care of our pup! She sends lots of pictures and videos of him having a great time playing in the yard and on many walks. We always know he's in wonderful hands with Dalia and her family when we travel! So grateful to have found her.”
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.
“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!”
“Roxanne was great and our boys had a great time. They slept on the ride home which is always a sign of a good stay. We will be using her again.”
“Our dog Molly had a great vacay at Robin's house. There's plenty of room for dogs to run around, a stream to cool off in and Robin's dog Maika loved playing Molly's favorite game, Chase Me! We were happy that Molly was given lots of positive things to chew on when inside the house and was allowed to cuddle in bed with these nice people at night. They spoiled her just like we do. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Robin and her sister who have lots of experience with dogs. Molly will be staying with them again in the future for sure!”
“Mike is just wonderful!!!! I left Napoleon with him for 2 weeks and I was so at ease that he was well taken care of. He sent several videos and pictures which always put a smile on my face. Napoleon is always having fun with Mike’s daschunds! I just know his physical , mental and emotional well-being are all met exceedingly! Thanks Mike!”
“Cheryn was amazing! You could immediately tell she was really caring and passionate about dogs. Huey had a great time and we loved the great communication and pictures. Highly recommend Cheryn!”
“My Brûlée had a wonderful experience with Lindsey! She had plenty of walks and fun with Lindsey’s daughter. I could tell she was a happy puppy when I picked her up! I definitely will be needing her to visit again!”
“María was an excellent sitter for Toby :) he was well cared for and a happy pup when I came to pick him up. I will definitely use Maria again when I come back to New Orleans. Thank you for taking care of Toby.”

“I can't believe the light of our lives passed on while we were away. The sweetest kitty in the world is no longer with us. We are devastated. Chani was 20 years old and had kidney issues for the past year. Within a few days while we out of the country, she declined rapidly. Thankfully Caitlin was there to bring her to the emergency vet. Unfortunately they really could not save her. Caitlin was there to comfort her with pets and kisses in her final moments. Chani could hear our voices over the phone I hope. I don't know if many others would be as caring as she is. Chani, we miss you and will love you forever.”
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.
About: Hey there! I’m Danny, a lifelong dog lover who grew up surrounded by four-legged friends. My parents were dog breeders and my first job was at a pet store when I was 13 years old. I owned The Soggy Doggy, a dog grooming, boarding, and daycare paradise in Charlotte, for the past two years. I’m also a licensed dog boarder, which means I’m not just passionate but professionally qualified to care for your pup! Based in Mid-City, and I have my own car, so I can travel wherever your furry friend needs me. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and more. I love keeping things fun and friendly while making sure your pet is in safe, trustworthy hands. Let’s make sure your pup has a tail-wagging good time! Having owns my own doggy daycare for the last three years, my schedule is completely devoted to dogs. Now that I’m here in New Orleans, this will be my full-time gig! Over the last two years, at the Soggy Doggy I have protected over 1100 dogs. I treat every dog as if they were my own child.
About: With my background in veterinary medicine, I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior companion, I offer attentive, loving care rooted in experience and empathy. As a vet tech, caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. With patience and communication, I will do all I can to provide reliable care before or after work and on weekends. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet. Whether in my home or yours, I ensure pets feel secure, comfortable, and loved while providing attentive supervision and care. I can follow routines, provide careful supervision, and offer loving, attentive care.
“5/5 stars, Abby is very sweet to my elderly cats and they were friendly with her - rare for them when they meet new people! Abby was communicative, took pictures of my furballs, and even brought in a package for me. Will book again!”
About: Cats are where I started. I've shared my home with them my whole life, currently with Ajax, a 12-year-old tuxedo gentleman who has trained me thoroughly in the ways of his people. I speak fluent cat. I know when the belly roll is a greeting, and when it's a trap. For visits in your home, everything happens on your cat's terms, in their territory: feeding, fresh water, a properly cleaned litter box, and genuine company. Whether that's play, brushing, or just quietly existing nearby, I'm happy to do whichever your cat prefers. I'm careful with the zoomers, and patient with the shy cats too. I've perfected the treat jar shake to make sure I can snap a photo when it's time for an update. I come cat-endorsed. A neighbor's cat inspected my place on his own initiative and now has moved in. I'm honored to have a new part-time roommate.
“Chloe is reliable, caring, and great with my pets. She’s always on time, communicates well, and my dog is genuinely excited to see her. I always feel comfortable knowing my fur babies are in good hands with her.”
“Ms Victoria is amazing! Our two kittens are shy and timid. It only took till Ms Victoria's second visit for them to come out of hiding for her! That's all the testimony we need. Don't hesitate in booking her to care for your furry loved ones!”
“I’ve used rover a lot and I’ve had many pet sitters for cats and dogs. Macie is truly the best. My normally timid cats were so relaxed, and she kept us in the loop the whole time. I’d be thrilled to have her watch my pets again!”
“Taylor was great with my two cats, Ella and Lulu. She kept me updated daily on how they were doing and kept my apartment clean and safe while gone. I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!”
“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!”
“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: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 11. Neighbors, strangers, friends and family have relied on me to walk, play with, feed and bathe their pets. I'm very loving nurturing and attentive to they're special needs. I'm young energetic and I'm very dedicated to working with dogs it's always been a dream of mine to be a dog trainer so the more time I get to spend with them and learn their behavior is the better for me. I'm currently not working a "real job" so I'm open in availability right now but when I do start working I'll be working evenings or night shift nothing overnight though so plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm very routine oriented and OCD your pets will be on a schedule. I'm affectionate and caring and have adhd so I get bored fast and love to play. I have 2 dogs but they don't live here right now so no worries on my pets being present there are children occasionally in the home but not everyday or all day so just depends on that I don't have a fenced yard but I'm high energy and love walks so your dog will get plenty outdoor time. My apartments do not allow me to have pets here which is why mine are not here but they do allow me to have animals here as long as it pertains to work so no worries there either I know some people freak out when they hear apartment.
About: Hi! I have had dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. My father has been an K-9 offices for years, so I have been around and handled powerful, athletic dogs all my life.

I have a fenced in yard and a pit bull who is very very friendly and loves all types of dogs, cats, and people.

“She’s great especially on the short notice I gave her! My dog had so much fun and she sent lots of pictures! I would definetly recommend her if you need someone to watch your dogs!”
“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!”
About: I've had many pet dogs and a few cats in my house since my childhood. I care deeply for animals and I'll do my absolute best to take care of others if I get the opportunity. I'm a dog owner and I have a very flexible schedule. I'm in pretty good shape and love to walk and run around with my Bella. I have a large fenced-in yard and I don't mind dogs in the house. My Bella is friendly and would love company sometimes. I can handle and care for your dog responsibly. I’m retired and like to stay active and I like spending time walking and staying fit so I walk when I can and I love doing it with my dog buddies. I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around in, it’s safe and secure. My dog would like to get to know some other dogs.
“Michael is awesome! He loved & pampered our two little guys (an oversized pom & a papillion). We left them with him for 6-9 hours daily while helping my daughter move to an apartment in French quarter. We collected them in the evening & they were happy, fed & tuckered out from an active day of loving. If you’re anywhere near the French quarter of NOLA, Michael’s the man! Just hope he’s available when we visit NOLA again!”
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.
“This is my dog’s 3rd visit with Etta. She is the best. She goes above and beyond. I broke one of the handles off my dog’s bag and she sewed it on without me even asking or knowing she could sew. She even reinforced the other strap so that wouldn’t break off. Thank you!!!”

“Evlin was so so great with Prince. This was my first time using a sitter through rover and I'm beyond glad that all my expectations were met and more. She was super friendly and I know that Prince had a great time with her and Juicy. Prince can be somewhat finicky and I tend to get anxious leaving him in the care of others, but she made the process so easy and I had no doubt that Prince was enjoying his day care experience and being taken great care of. She sent multiple updates throughout the day, was very responsive, and you can tell she's a dog lover so I felt very safe leaving my boy in her care while I was at work. I definitely intend on using Evlin for future services and highly recommend!”
“Roxanne was great at communicating and was very timely. She took very good care of our boys and we will absolutely be using her services in the future. Thank you, Roxanne!”
About: I am now retired and have total availability. For walks or drop ins I need to keep my service area within 5-7 miles. For longer stays I am willing to expand my area upon request. I began my pet care as a child, taking home every stray dog I saw. Nursing sheep, stray cats, bunnies, you name it. I was then a vet tech, rescue foster, and sitter. As my life has changed my love for, and enjoyment of caring for pets has not. I bond well with animals, and have the experience to know when firmness is required. I will always care for your animal as i would my own. ( spoiled ) I have a good availability and experience with all ages of pets. Including training to elderly animals who need special care. I am comfortable administering meds, and dealing with unique or special circumstances. Finally, I am reliable. You can rest assured that your baby will be well cared for. when I house sit I will keep your place clean daily. If you desire addition plant care or whatever, just ask. I am retired. This gives me great availability to care for your pet. I can adjust my schedule to fit your needs. At times I prefer overnights at your place so as to not disturb my husband. I have a fenced yard. At your home or mine we get plenty of potty breaks, walks, and play. I only leave the house to go to the store or appts.
About: I've had dogs all of my adult life. I had 6 at one time and now have 2 Chihuahuas who I adore. I love all pets and want to be your pups best friend. I regularly pet sit for my 2 kids' dogs (Frenchie, Australian shepherd and golden doodle). I've also pet sat at a good friend's house for her 3 pups and brought my 2 also. I am retired so I have a lot of free time. I can walk or visit your pups regularly. My schedule is very flexible. I can help out at any time. I have a fenced yard and it is secure. My pups can't get out and they get along with all dogs. My pups are treated like the king and queen they are.
About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I believe they teach us unconditional love, help us stay present, and enrich our lives in countless ways. I love dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, though I have a particular appreciation for larger breeds such as Pit Bulls, Dobermans, and Rottweilers. Over the years, I've spent countless hours learning about canine behavior, training, and communication to better understand their needs and how they experience the world. My beloved Miniature Schnauzer, Bella, was my companion for 13 wonderful years. During the last five years of her life, she lived with diabetes, requiring twice-daily insulin injections, regular veterinary care, and cataract surgery. Caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of providing consistent, compassionate care—especially for dogs with special medical needs. I understand that pets are family. Whether your dog needs a walk, playtime, companionship, or extra care and attention, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and responsibility that I gave my own. I currently work from home while building my real estate investment business, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be attentive to the needs of the pets in my care. My day typically starts between 6:30 and 7:30 a.m. with meditation and exercise, followed by work from my home office. Because I set my own schedule, I can easily accommodate walks, feeding schedules, playtime, potty breaks, medication needs, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. If your dog is boarding with me, I enjoy incorporating outdoor walks into my daily routine and can provide regular exercise, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. I care for pets according to their owner's preferred schedule and routine whenever possible. I understand that consistency helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and secure, whether they're in my home or their own. I take the time to learn each pet's feeding schedule, exercise needs, medication requirements, favorite activities, and any special instructions. My goal is to provide attentive, loving care while maintaining the routines and boundaries that are important to both the pet and their family.
“Mindy has an extraordinary gift !! My little Buddy warmed up to her immediately!! She sent pics throughout the day on Buddy’s adventures! Just seeing him cuddling on her lap eased any anxiety I had about leaving him all day. She is a true “Dog whisperer “?”
“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!”
“Oshie was very responsive and willing to accept our reservation at the last minute. She was very flexible with our schedule as we came to town for a last minute vacation. Jaxx enjoyed his stay with her, and he felt very comfortable and at ease with her!”

About: Hello! I am a New-Orleans-raised local and a dog trainer. I grew up with a houseful of pets—dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish…We literally called our home the zoo. I live with two adorable pups (my roommate’s) and many, many plants. I am looking forward to bonding with your fur babies, caring for your home, and exploring your neighborhood! I have over 15 years of experience in general pet care and 6 years in canine training. I spent a recent summer pet and housesitting full-time and continue to do so while traveling throughout the year. It has been a blast and incredibly rewarding. I am experienced and comfortable with the smallest of puppies all the way up to giant breed dogs. I enjoy patient training that joyfully engages your canine and am also skilled in leash training, a vital foundation to an adjusted pup. If you hire me, my walks will be structured and help your dog grow in communication and impulse-control. I, of course, would also love to care for your cats, small animals, and more non-traditional pets. I can disperse medication and handle a diverse range of circumstances. I work a regular job but am flexible outside around that. Monday-Thursday this is an 8-hour shift, and Friday this is a 5-hour shift. When sitting, this means I am there for your pet right before and right after a shift and flexible during most other hours and on weekends. Let’s connect and discuss your needs. I will be as attentive and engaged as you and your fur-babies need. I am experienced in reading your pet’s body language to know if they need extra engagement or other physical needs. I am happy to take your pets in my car to play at the park, join me at the cafe, or to drop off somewhere. Let me know what your pets need and we can work together to make it happen.
About: I've had pets my entire life. I'm retired now and travel extensively for part of the year, so I'm unable to have pets of my own and thought this would be a great way to keep busy while I am in town. I have a doggy door and a large, gated backyard for games of fetch or hide and seek. I will provide a safe, loving home while you are away or drop-in if you so choose. When I'm in NOLA, I often work part-time from home. I'm retired so you could call me a homebody, and I'm often found working in my garden. In the fourth quarter of the year, I do travel until thanksgiving but will keep my calendar here updated. I am relatively flexible with scheduling. My son recently moved and took his Boston Terrier with him, so there are no longer any pets in my home. I have a large, fenced yard perfect for games of hide-and-seek or fetch, and I'm often in the back as well working on my garden. I do not have any plants that would present a danger. I love to take long, daily walks on the levee, which is only two blocks away...and would love to bring your pet along! I often have family visit, who also love pets.

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.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was a kid, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. One thing that sets me apart is my experience with senior and younger pets. I cared for my own dog in her later years when she developed back leg problems. I helped her move around the house, made sure she was comfortable, and gave her lots of love and patience every day. I additionally took care of my other dog in her early months waking up multiple times nightly to calm her down. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy or a senior pet needing extra care, I’m confident in handling all kinds of needs. I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week, so I’m able to care for pets whenever needed. Pet care easily fits my routine, and I’m happy to adjust based on your pets specific needs and schedule.your pets comfort and routine will always come first. I believe pets are most comfortable and relaxed in their own home, which is why I only offer care in the clients space. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect in return. Your pets safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
About: Hey there- I’m Diana and I have always loved animals from the bottom of my heart. I am a Rover sitter and use Rover for sitters for my own pets when I’m out of town, so I personally understand the significance of trusting a sitter with your animals. It’s never easy to leave the fur babies at home, and so I do everything I can to make them comfortable and loved till you’re reunited. I’m good at juggling responsibilities and remembering small details, which makes my care attentive to the unique needs and personality of each pet. I choose to do pet sitting and walking because I can’t have as many of my own pets as my heart desires. I would be happy to care for your furry one and spend genuine time ensuring they are having the best time in my presence! Thank you for trusting me with your sweet family and I know we will have a great time. I work from home right now doing program management for local nonprofits, so I can be flexible with caring for your pets with some notice. I don’t mind early morning or late night care. We are newer to New Orleans and enjoy getting to know different neighborhoods. I take notes of all the details you share about your home and care for your animals to make sure I have a thorough understanding of their needs and usual routines, and anything to be cautious about.

About: I have been around a variety of animals including reptiles my entire life. I worked as a veterinary technician for a year. I am trained to react quickly and have a decent amount of medical training. I am also experienced with handling senior animals including those with special needs. I have handled animals that are paralyzed, post operative, and medication dependent. I have no other job at the moment. This gives me constant availability. I have my own transportation as well as the ability to create my own schedule. I do constantly supervise my animals. I am easily able to redirect an animal before any problems can arise. I have fast reflexes from my time as a veterinary technician.
“Caitlin was absolutely amazing with my dog. He has severe anxiety and she was so patient with him. Eventually he was able to warm up to her and it’s very rare that happens. If I could give 10 stars I would. In the future I will only be using her when I need someone to take care of him”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 11. Neighbors, strangers, friends and family have relied on me to walk, play with, feed and bathe their pets. I'm very loving nurturing and attentive to they're special needs. I'm young energetic and I'm very dedicated to working with dogs it's always been a dream of mine to be a dog trainer so the more time I get to spend with them and learn their behavior is the better for me. I'm currently not working a "real job" so I'm open in availability right now but when I do start working I'll be working evenings or night shift nothing overnight though so plenty of time to spend with your pets. I'm very routine oriented and OCD your pets will be on a schedule. I'm affectionate and caring and have adhd so I get bored fast and love to play. I have 2 dogs but they don't live here right now so no worries on my pets being present there are children occasionally in the home but not everyday or all day so just depends on that I don't have a fenced yard but I'm high energy and love walks so your dog will get plenty outdoor time. My apartments do not allow me to have pets here which is why mine are not here but they do allow me to have animals here as long as it pertains to work so no worries there either I know some people freak out when they hear apartment.

“Desirae was great, going above and beyond, treating Jazz' chronic ear issues better than we do ourselves! Jazz seemed happy (via the photos and videos) and took to her right-away. He was in excellent hands.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, starting from rescuing strays as a kid. I have years of hands on experience with dogs of all ages, including my own senior pup who was named Cici. She needed medication around the clock and caring for her taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to follow a strict care routine. I’m comfortable giving meds, understanding special needs, and making sure pets feel loved, safe, and understood. I would love to hang out with your fur babies and give them some extra loving! I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world to take care of your pets! Every day will be a party and I’d love to have some company! In my home, pets will have a safe, clean and comfortable space with plenty of attention, playtime and plenty of snuggles. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I will make sure they get regular leashed walks, potty breaks, and supervised outdoor time. I will stick to their usual feeding schedule, keep fresh water available at all times and follow any medication or special care routines exactly.
“Left my two pups with Whitney for a week while we went on vacation. She sent videos of them playing while we were gone, which was nice. When I picked them up, she told me all about how they did and how much she loved them. You could tell she really cared about and for them. One of the best parts: when we got give, they were so tired from playing and running around that they almost immediately crashed. Thanks, Whitney! We'll definitely reach out to you again the next time we need someone to watch the pups!”
“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)”
“Kenneth was amazing to work with. Really easy to communicate and coordinate and provided frequent updates on how Gorda was doing. I could tell he took really good care of her and that she had a great time there.”
“Dalia is a wonderful sitter and always takes great care of our pup! She sends lots of pictures and videos of him having a great time playing in the yard and on many walks. We always know he's in wonderful hands with Dalia and her family when we travel! So grateful to have found her.”
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.
“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!”
“Roxanne was great and our boys had a great time. They slept on the ride home which is always a sign of a good stay. We will be using her again.”
“Our dog Molly had a great vacay at Robin's house. There's plenty of room for dogs to run around, a stream to cool off in and Robin's dog Maika loved playing Molly's favorite game, Chase Me! We were happy that Molly was given lots of positive things to chew on when inside the house and was allowed to cuddle in bed with these nice people at night. They spoiled her just like we do. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Robin and her sister who have lots of experience with dogs. Molly will be staying with them again in the future for sure!”
“My Brûlée had a wonderful experience with Lindsey! She had plenty of walks and fun with Lindsey’s daughter. I could tell she was a happy puppy when I picked her up! I definitely will be needing her to visit again!”
“My two fur babies enjoyed their visit with Ms Michelle, who took excellent care of them. I had peace of mind while we were away from them knowing she was watching them.”
“Ashely was great! Very accommodating with drop off & pick up. Great location right next to downtown. Poppers had a blast playing with her dog. She sent pictures throughout the stay. Will be using her again!”
“Regina was awesome and we will definitely use her again! She suggested we had a little meet n great before confirming, which is always reassuring. She had another dog there during the meet n great, so we sat outside on her front porch, as to not intermingle the dogs. Then she took that dog out on a mini walk while Miley and I walked thru her beautiful and clean home. The fact that she was so meticulous following the wishes of the other dogs owner, made me know she was going to do same for me. Miley had some special needs during her visit (some medicine and specific food to curtail an upset stomach) and Regina didn’t mind at all. It was a little cold snap, so I brought Miley with a sweater. When I picked her up the next day, Regina had even sewn shut a hole that had been in that sweater, I was so surprised and so happy. She is so sweet and we will definitely be returning!”
“Cindy was great!! She gave us daily updates+pictures and took excellent care of our dog. She even brushed her (which my dog often isn’t very amenable to!), which was thoughtful and appreciated. Our dog seemed happy and content when I picked her up. We will definitely use Cindy again. Most highly recommend!”
“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!!”
