“Nolvia was a great sitter for our 2 dogs. Communicated well throughout the stay and was very patient with one of our less than well behaved pups. I would certainly trust her again with poppy and Lucy.”

“Aja and her family were lovely, and did a great job looking after my girl. She sent lots of photos and updates, which I really appreciate. Would definitely book again and recommend her to anyone!”


“Everything was great from the booking to meeting Stacey to the wonderful pictures she took of Boss during his stay. It seems Boss has a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Stacey and will use her again if I ever need a sitter. ”


“Regan was very accommodating and so sweet to our dog! She was excellent at keeping us informed on how he was doing, and he loved playing with friends during his stay, and having a home full of dog lovers! Will be using again!!”

“Lisa and Gizzy took great care of our Charlie! He can be a nervous nelly, but they put him at ease quickly as if he was part of the family from day one. Pics and updates were sent regularly. We are so grateful to have found you as Charlie’s home away from home!”

“Ben was wonderful! He was very prompt in all communications and ensured I had pictures and information about their day while we were gone! I will be using him again should the need arise! Thank you, Ben!”

“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.”

“Anna was the perfect person to care for our girls. Puppies are hard. Two puppies are even harder but she Rocked it. I wrote instructions for her and she followed them to the ‘T’ even using our ‘command words’. She even set in the floor cuddling them during a storm to calm her fears I will definitely use her again.”

“We highly recommend Gail! She clearly loves dogs and took great care of our Max while we were away on vacation. Max made new friends while staying with Miss Gail and ran and played all day. Your pup will be so happy and well taken care of if you choose Gail as your sitter.”

“We were very pleased with Missy. She has a nice yard for the dog to roam when outside. She sent numerous photos during our dogs stay. We would use her again if we ever return to New Orleans.”
“I highly recommend Damaris and Jose. They provided excellent care for our dog, as well as videos to keep us posted. In fact, our pup seemed quite content to stay with them when I arrived to pick her up!”

“Ariana was great in assisting Kingston and I with a last minute request. I was so glad she was available and able to help after our plan failed. She updated us everyday by sending messages and pictures of Kingston which helped us feel at ease”

“Thank you, guys for taking such good care of my spoiled child. it was our first time leaving him in the care of someone other than family. You've made our experience so pleasant. Thank you, Thank you, You were a true God sent!!!!!!”

“Claire was the best pet sitter for our fur babies! They were happy when we got home, and we weren’t worried while we were gone due to her keeping us informed and sending lots of pictures. She was also the most considerate house guest! She’s kind, caring and professional. I’d give her more stars if I could.”


“Olivia was amazing with taking care of Bug. She was responsive, punctual, and kept me updated throughout. I really appreciated how patient, attentive, and caring she was. I felt comfortable knowing Bug was in good hands. I would highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”

About: Since I was five we’ve had cats. My first cat was a mean black tux named binx. I loved him with a passion and he’s now resting after about 14 years. Today I live with my three angels biscuit,peanut, and jam. They’re six I got them around 4-6 months old and they’re the sweetest. I always wonder why but not to sound shameless I think they’re so loving bc I raised them with love.

“Nolvia did an amazing job taking care of my two doggies. She made sure they were fed, cared for, and given lots of attention and love. My dogs were happy, comfortable, and clearly had a great time with her. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I highly recommend Nolvia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter! 🐶💕”


“Stacey was very attentive and responsive. She’d txt me back within seconds. It was easy to set up Buddy’s stay with her. She sent updates and professional photos of him while he was staying with her. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future.”

I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including feeding, walking, basic care routines, and ensuring their safety and comfort. I am comfortable with: * Small, medium, and large dogs * Feeding routines and medication reminders * Leash walking and basic behavior management * Maintaining clean and safe environments And providing photo updates throughout your stay! I am fully available throughout the summer and have flexible daytime and evening hours. I am home most of the day, so I can accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care as needed. I can also adjust my schedule to match your pet’s routine. One dog lives in my home and I have a fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time. I follow each pet’s routine closely and ensure a calm, supervised, and secure environment.
“Lisa was very sweet. You can tell how much she loves dogs. Our Anni did great, so I’m told. Since this was our first time using Rover we were nervous about leaving her. But after our experience with Lisa we will use Rover again. We are traveling across country and not every place is dog friendly. Thanks Lisa.”

About: Recently retired teacher with a flexible schedule available to care for your furry family members while you travel or work. I’ve always been a huge animal lover and treat pets as family members. ( I also have a passion for pet photography.)

(As you can see from my photos, I LOVE taking pictures of your pet and sharing them with you! ). Edit: My husband recently retired so he is home and loves our furry visitors as much as I do! I’m retired and home every day so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! My husband is also home in the evenings to help if needed. While I’m new to Rover, I am not new to pet care! I will also provide you with an edited digital photo of your pet as a keepsake!❤️ I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of room to run and play.

“It was my first time using the Rover app. Gail was super friendly and ensured my 13 yo was in good hands. She sent videos and photos throughout the stay. I would definitely request Gail next time we go out of town. Thank you Gail!”

“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!”

About: For over 10 years, I’ve been the trusted pet sitter for friends and family. My duties are basically stopping in to make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, and most importantly, feel cared for while their humans are away. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going for walks, tossing a favorite toy, or just keeping them company. My experience is mostly with drop-ins and walks, and I take pride in being reliable, attentive, and making pets feel safe and happy in their own environment. I work full time, spending two to three days in the office and the rest working from home, which gives me a flexible schedule. During the week, I’m available for afternoon walks and early morning or evening drop-ins. On weekends, I can do drop-ins up to three times a day and am available for walks at almost any time. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I always start by checking the space to make sure everything is safe and clean, just in case there was an accident or something seems off. I make sure they have fresh water, food, and a treat if it’s part of their routine. Depending on the pet’s needs, we’ll either head to the yard or go for a walk around the neighborhood. I approach every visit with a calm and nurturing energy, which helps pets feel safe and relaxed around me. Building trust and creating a peaceful environment is always my priority.
About: I’ve taken care of friends and family dogs since young age always had the love and care for dogs, I’ve taken care of puppies stages I currently have a full-time job but outside of work I prefer to spend time with my dog and make sure he enjoys himself every day caring for your pets fits in my weekly routine because it’s already my daily schedule. I like to make sure my dog goes to the dog park that I walk him play with him make sure he gets tired and enjoys the day. The way I would care for your pet is if he was like my own pet that I will enjoy making them happy makes me happy. I would focus on their daily routines on what they like and be very respectful on ur instructions with ur home
“My husband Emile and I were very pleased and grateful for the care that Damaris and Jose’ provided our Emma! You can tell that they are animal lovers and treated her like their own! They have a lovely home and yard and sent pictures and videos of her stay. In the past, Emma has been cared for by family members. It’s nice to know that we have someone else turn to!”

“Madison was awesome! Clean and spacious house and a nice backyard. She sent videos and pictures and my pup and he looked like he was having a blast the whole time. Very easy communication and feedback from her. I 100% recommend her!! S”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have spent the past 12 years raising and caring for dogs of my own. I currently have two dogs: Wrigley, an 8-year-old Aussie, and Nova, a 6-year-old rescue Aussie/Husky mix who is blind and requires medications multiple times a day. Caring for Nova has given me hands-on experience with special-needs dogs, medication schedules, mobility limitations, and the patience and attention they require. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, energy levels, and needs, and I treat every dog like an individual. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, some extra attention, a consistent routine, or medication, I’m happy to provide dependable, loving care. I’m currently a surgery resident taking a research year (remotely) which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week, with flexibility to accommodate different schedules and routines. I’m happy to work around your dog’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and rest schedule, and I can provide consistent care rather than rushing in and out. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I take safety and trust seriously and will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medications, walks, and any house or pet-specific guidelines. My experience caring for Nova, a blind dog who needs medication multiple times a day, has taught me to be attentive to details and proactive about potential safety concerns. I’m comfortable working with dogs who need extra patience, structure, or special accommodations. I’ll treat your home with respect, communicate clearly, and make sure your dog receives the same consistency and care I would want for my own pets.
“This was my first time using rover and it was a great experience! She took great care of my dog and continued to send me updates letting me know everything was going well. I will definitely be using her again when we travel”


“Thanks for watching my two guys while we attended graduation. The pictures you sent were very helpful and showed that they were having fun. Definitely appreciate it.”

“Our experience with Missy has been fantastic. She took the time to get to know Benji thoroughly during our meet and greet. On the day of daycare, she sent me text and photo updates throughout the day and I knew Benji was in great hands. When I picked him up in the evening, I could tell that he had a fantastic time that day!”

“Lola, Charlie, and Hamilton all did excellent! The house is super cute and clean, they provided an extra kennel, they were flexible with our drop off and pick up time, and were so friendly and so great and caring with our pups. We appreciate it! Next time we come back to Louisiana we will use again!”

“Laura is absolutely amazing!! She was very easy to communicate with and my dog Blue Belle had the most amazing time playing with Laura’s pups. I got photos throughout the day and Laura made me feel super comfortable while my dog was in her care. Very grateful for her- and will definitely be using her services again!!”


About: I’m the 38 year mother of a 2 year old Dachshund and a 9 year old boy. We are a family of animal lovers and always love to have friends over! I spend a lot of time outside. The yard is not fenced in, but I’m at the end of a long and quiet road, nestled between the cul-de-sac and the woods. There are some neighborhood dogs and cats who wander around, visiting neighbor homes, and generally living their best life. I am working from home and have an extremely flexible schedule, so any visiting animals will get lots of attention and walks. The house has lots of dog toys strewn about. We are always having fun here. I have an unfenced yard, but we’re at the end of a quiet road on a cul-de-sac with woods surrounding. Small dogs will have access to the doggy door throughout the day. In addition to my dachshund August, there are many neighborhood dogs who wander and like to play together.

About: I’ve always adored pets since I was young. I’ve had many in my life from cats,dogs,and rodents. I know animals are equal beings that need treatment with special accommodations. This requires patience which is almost unlimited for me.i currently have three cats that I’ve owned since they were 3-4 months old they’re now 6. I just got rats a few weeks ago they’re girls 6-8 months old. I believe everything follows a routine dedicated to them and I have no issue aligning myself to these routines. I’m still finishing high school at the moment and I have a job. But besides managing those I’m available weekdays after 4 if I’m not scheduled to work, weekends any time I keep my babies inside as much as possible. They’re allowed to free roam outside since they’re used to that lifestyle from before. They wear flee collars, jam is allergic. I cleanse them with daily grooming and anima safe wipes or soap if necessary. They’re fed 2-3 a day with half a cup or less of cat food I do plan to change their diets eventually. When it comes to other people’s pets I treat them with nothing but love and care and always stay considerate of whatever the owner says I should know about that animal. I’m extremely against cruelty brand products so I will avoid associating or using them.
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life. They love me and I treat them as if they are my own child. I have three Australian shepherds and they are my whole world. They are so energetic and keep me active so being active with your dog is no problem. I am available any time as I work from home with a flexible schedule. I’ll be able to give your baby my full attention. Just let me know when you need to look after your baby I love taking dogs for walks or even car rides. Love playing fetch or whatever your dog enjoys doing. I also have a crate to crate your dog in if needed.
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: I started my animal care experience working for the Audubon Science and Nature center in animal husbandry by caring for native and exotic animals, birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians in outreach and environmental education! My husband and I cared for wild, rehabilated, exotic, domestic and farm animals throughout our careers. My husband has worked in a stable and farm and has experience with horses, goats, pigs, chickens ect. Both working part-time and mostly from home we will love your baby whether it's got fur, feathers ,hooves, scales or semiporous skin! ;-) My husband and I have a flexible schedule working part time and seasonally, with most hours I can set for myself and also often I am able to work from home. He and I make sure all animals are paid lots of attention to and cared for throughout the day and checked on at night. I have two residences one where I have my pets and another where there are no pets so we can discuss your pets environmental needs. Your baby can play with my pets or have the place to themselves if that suits their demeanor.
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 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 :)

“Regan was very accommodating and so sweet to our dog! She was excellent at keeping us informed on how he was doing, and he loved playing with friends during his stay, and having a home full of dog lovers! Will be using again!!”

“Lisa and Gizzy took great care of our Charlie! He can be a nervous nelly, but they put him at ease quickly as if he was part of the family from day one. Pics and updates were sent regularly. We are so grateful to have found you as Charlie’s home away from home!”

“Ben was wonderful! He was very prompt in all communications and ensured I had pictures and information about their day while we were gone! I will be using him again should the need arise! Thank you, Ben!”


“Anna was the perfect person to care for our girls. Puppies are hard. Two puppies are even harder but she Rocked it. I wrote instructions for her and she followed them to the ‘T’ even using our ‘command words’. She even set in the floor cuddling them during a storm to calm her fears I will definitely use her again.”

“We highly recommend Gail! She clearly loves dogs and took great care of our Max while we were away on vacation. Max made new friends while staying with Miss Gail and ran and played all day. Your pup will be so happy and well taken care of if you choose Gail as your sitter.”

“Ariana was great in assisting Kingston and I with a last minute request. I was so glad she was available and able to help after our plan failed. She updated us everyday by sending messages and pictures of Kingston which helped us feel at ease”

“Thank you, guys for taking such good care of my spoiled child. it was our first time leaving him in the care of someone other than family. You've made our experience so pleasant. Thank you, Thank you, You were a true God sent!!!!!!”

“Regina is amazing! My dog is very very skittish and usually needs a lot of time to get used to new people. I wonder how Regina could win my dog's trust so quickly! I cannot think of a better sitter than Regina!”

“This family is absolutely amazing! They took such great care of my two dogs and it was a last minute booking! Atlas and Kira had such a good doggy vacation, I highly recommend booking with Kelbie!”


“Courtney and Don were absolutely wonderful! They took great care of my pup, and they were flexible when my plans had to change which I appreciate greatly. Would love to use them again!”

“My whole experience with Madison was wonderful from the beginning to the end. She was incredibly quick to schedule with and very easy to locate. She sent daily updates of Rosie Posie having the time of her life from playing in the back yard, walking the neighborhood, or getting cozy with the humans of the house inside. I am thoroughly impressed with Madison’s amount of quality time spent with my pet and will definitely be using her again in the near future.”

“We went on an extended vacation for over one month. Our Golden Doodle Prince is part of our family. In the past, we put him in a couple of different kennels with mixed results, but never felt comfortable. This vacation we left him with Kirsten. We received photos everyday. Prince was loved, walked, and cared for by her entire family. When we used kennels in the past, it would take Prince several days to get back to normal. After over a month with Kirsten, similar to summer camp for kids, we brought Prince home and he was his normal self. Thank you Kirsten for taking such good care of Prince.”

“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!!”

“Natalie took great care of our dog Taz and provided lots of updates. I could tell in the pictures that Taz was so happy and it was a relief that he was in good hands. Thank you Natalie, you’re a life saver!”
