“THE ABSOLUTE BEST SITTER EVER! I chose to go with Nolvia because she was on my way to and from the airport. But I ended up being so lucky to find her, and am now willing to go out of my way if I have to for all my dog sitting needs. She is worth it! My dog Rebel and her dog Marisol vibed so well. Nolvia has a beautiful home and is OVERLY attentive to caring for my pups needs, my spoiled girl was right at home! Nolvia sent the cutest photos, had interactive toys, kept my very high energy dog active, was flexible and very communicative. Highly recommend!”

“Both Ruby & Dexter enjoyed the time with Demaris and family. The home and garden/yard are lovely plus both of my dogs got a lot of attention and pampering. I hate to admit it, my dogs looked and smelled better when I picked them up than when I dropped them off 😆”

About: I am a proud current cat mom to a sweet boy! I got my first two cats when I was around 10 and that started my love and connection with cats. I love and appreciate how different they are from their canine counterparts and can say my life is more full with a feline it it. Having such a special connection with my cat makes me excited to bond and care for other cats!
About: History of dog ownership for 10+ years Experience with dog sitting for 4 years and some dog training as well, medication administration, providing daily exercise. Clients have been long time residents of my area and can recommend me for their pet care needs. Very trusting when leaving me with their pets. Always willing to do overnight stays when needed to watch the pets and their home. Provide light to moderate cleaning. Good with keeping up consistent training as requested. I'm currently working at home and have time for playful pet care. I also have a pup who's friendly and would love a friend to hang out with! I have a fenced yard and supervise all play time. In client's homes I watch closely and am always nearby to supervise. I offer light housework and pick up of any messes made by your pup.
About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life and they’ve always been at the center of my world. My most recent pup, Effy, was with me for 15 years — she was truly the love of my life. While I’m not quite ready to have a dog of my own again, I couldn’t imagine my life without them, which is why I’m so excited to be here on Rover! Your pet will be loved and cared for like my own. I can’t wait to meet them I work from home Monday–Friday, so your pet will have my full attention throughout the day — no long stretches alone. I am able to work remotely so care during the day is no issue. I live in an apartment in Meraux above my dad’s office, so while there’s no yard, we have plenty of space to get outside for walks. There are stairs, but I’m happy to carry pets up and down as needed.
“Eryn was absolutely wonderful! She listened to all our directions and kept us up to date the whole time. She was patient and loving with our crazy animals and we are so grateful to her. We will absolutely use her again!”
About: I’ve always had dogs and cats, the occasional hamster, growing up. I love animals! I’m from the south and have come across all types of puppies (including gator pups) I have no problems in gaining new friends :) I am currently free lancing in artistic endeavors and having a friendly pet would help with the time I’m at home needing a little company and a less… talkative version than human conversation! I love animals and have experience with all types! (I’m from Louisiana so I mean ALL types) including the senior doggies ;) I have a closed in front patio with a little nature-esque ground for quick potty breaks and just to sunbathe when the need arises. I take walks often and live in a neighbor hood away from a busy strip so I can keep pets safe and exercised!
“Ayanna did a house sit with Lamborghini over the holidays and left the house looking great. She had a bit of a tough case with my anxious cat but she worked hard to keep Lamborghini as comfortable as possible and on her routines. I appreciate her care.”
“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 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: I have been a dog lover and owner all my life. Getting outside and getting plenty of exercise is something I consider to be especially important. I enjoy taking long walks and playing catch, chase and tug-o-war with all kinds of puppies. Need a sitter or just a quick walk? I can even bathe your puppy if necessary. I am looking forward to sharing my time and helping out with your fur baby! Have a blessed day!
About: I have worked in veterinary clinics for over two years and I currently work as a veterinary technician at an animal shelter. I’ve also house sat for a number of clients with animals that required frequent care and attention. I also offer nail trims and baths, including medicated baths if necessary I have just recently moved to Louisiana and I look forward to meeting as many clients as possible to hopefully build a relationship. I would like to be your go-to sitter! My number one goal is to make owners comfortable while away, knowing that their best friends and fur-children are in good hands while also ensuring that your home is well taken care of. I have years of experience and multiple return clients that can back this up! Also, my veterinary experience allows me to administer medication effectively as well as special treatments if it is needed.

“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! 🐶💕”
About: Hey y’all, I’m Holly! I’m a full-time dog sitter, boarding host, and obedience trainer living the farm life just outside the city. About 15 years ago, I traded the hustle and bustle for more space, privacy, and a dog-centered lifestyle—and now my partner Isaac and I have built our home around exactly that. We offer boarding and daytime playgroups in a secure, home-based setting with the amenities you’d expect from a large boarding facility, but with the comfort, attention, and personal care of a private home. Our farmhouse sits on a securely fenced acre, giving dogs room to safely play, explore, decompress, and enjoy their stay. Dogs are truly life here. In addition to boarding and training, I serve as the Program Director of a New Orleans-based dog rescue specializing in high-medical-need dogs. Because of that, I’m very comfortable administering medications, injections, fluids, specialty diets, and handling dogs who need extra patience or experience. I also have trusted veterinarians on speed dial should anything urgent ever come up. I have extensive experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities—from feral strays and high-drive working breeds to seniors, puppies, tiny Poodles, nervous dogs, and everything in between. Baths, light grooming, crate routines, structured play, and special care instructions are all no problem. Basic obedience training packages are also available for dogs who could use a little extra polish during their stay. You're welcome and encouraged to take a look at our reviews - we pride ourselves on giving stellar care! If you’re looking for a safe, experienced, dog-savvy home where your pup will be treated like one of our own, we’d love to welcome them! I board dogs professionally from my home, so caring for them is part of my everyday routine — not something I squeeze in around another job. During the day, I run supervised playgroups in our secure yard and rotate dogs based on size, age, energy level, and personality. High-energy dogs get room to play, seniors get a calmer pace, and shy or sensitive dogs are given time to settle in comfortably. Everyone receives structured playtime, potty breaks, meals, treats, rest time, and plenty of individual attention throughout the day. Our farmhouse sits on 3.5 securely fenced acres, tucked away from busy streets and set up with dogs in mind. This is a dog-centered home with plenty of space, toys, enrichment, and safe areas for both play and rest. Dogs are always supervised and thoughtfully matched with appropriate playmates. I take introductions, group dynamics, feeding routines, medications, and individual needs seriously so every dog can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for during their stay.
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 work from home during summer months. 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.”

“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!”
“We seriously cannot recommend Madison enough. She was absolutely incredible with our boys! She made us so at ease when visiting from out of town and even got our senior dog to play 🥹 She went above and beyond with her updates & photos and I truly know they were so loved with her. Thank you so much Madison, our new go-to New Orleans sitter!!”
“Liz was a SUPER sitter for our girls! She had a few other dogs who she was also watching, which made me feel very comfortable - because that indicated others felt she was ALSO a great sitter! We will be re-booking her for tomorrow (Thanksgiving) - and will definitely keep her on our sitter list for when we travel to New Orleans.”
“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!”

“Staying with Sawsan has been wonderful for our puppy! Sawsan is nurturing and attentive and ensures that she has a cohesive, playful little pack for daycare and boarding. Beyond making sure that all the pups are safe and happy, she’s very laid back and flexible. Our pup is always excited to see her and comes home happily exhausted. :)”
“Emily was so awesome and accommodating!! I will be booking again. She sent me pictures all day and that made me feel safe with her truly. It’s hard to leave your fur baby but she made it easy. 💕 book with Emily, your dog will be so happy.”
About: I have always had animals in my life. I know each one is different and special. I grew up on a farm so I know having a loving and compassionate person to care for your babies is a necessity when you have animals. I am a stay at home mom so while the kids are at school I have plenty of time to come by and play with your babies. I have a fenced in courtyard area in my home. We also have two dogs that love other dogs. One is a rescue Maltese and is 12 years old. The other is a 2 year old poodle, he is my husband's service dog so usually he is at work with my husband all day.
“Melissa is the exact kind of person you can trust leaving your fur baby with. I felt very comfortable at her spacious tidy place and I know my puppy did too. She took him outside nearly every hour since he’s only 3 months. She sent updates with pictures and was flexible with pick up time since it was a group event I was attending. I will definitely request Melissa next time I’m in or around Berkeley :)”
“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!”

“Ayanna was such a wonderful person to have walk our dogs while my mom was away. One of our dogs takes a little time to warm up to people but after a day when she realized Ayanna was there to help her, she gladly joined her sister in their daily walks. It was great knowing they were in good hands! Thanks you, Ayanna!”

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: Hi! I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was a kid. Spending time with animals has always come naturally to me! I know every dog has their own personality and needs so I’m happy to adapt to whatever makes them most comfortable. I’m available for dog walking, feeding, potty breaks, and sitting/general care. If your dog isn’t feeling well or needs a little extra attention I’m patient and attentive to their needs. I’m happy to follow any instructions you leave to make sure your pet stays on their normal routine. Whether your dog needs exercise, company, or basic care while you’re away I’ll treat them like they’re my own! I work part-time and have a flexible schedule which allows me to plan time for your dog’s needs. Whether it’s dog walks, feeding, potty breaks, or check-ins throughout the day: I can be there! I’m happy to follow each pet’s routine. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely! I make sure they are fed on schedule, get fresh water, potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention. I also make sure the home stays clean and safe for the pet. My goal is to help pets feel comfortable and relaxed while their owner is away.
About: I have several years of professional experience in pet sitting and boarding, dog walking, and in home care. I also have specialized knowledge in medication giving (including insulin), puppy/kitten care, and senior care. I'm currently in the off season of my job, so I have all of the free time! I have very open availability and I'm flexible. I have open availability so I can spend plenty of time with your pet to make sure they get the love and care that they need.
About: I have worked in veterinary clinics for over two years and I currently work as a veterinary technician at an animal shelter. I’ve also house sat for a number of clients with animals that required frequent care and attention. I also offer nail trims and baths, including medicated baths if necessary I have just recently moved to Louisiana and I look forward to meeting as many clients as possible to hopefully build a relationship. I would like to be your go-to sitter! My number one goal is to make owners comfortable while away, knowing that their best friends and fur-children are in good hands while also ensuring that your home is well taken care of. I have years of experience and multiple return clients that can back this up! Also, my veterinary experience allows me to administer medication effectively as well as special treatments if it is needed.

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.”

I follow each pet’s routine closely and ensure a calm, supervised, and secure environment.
“Rhys looked after my 6 month old lab mutt Adso for 5 days-that alone deserves more than 5 stars ? Beyond that, it was obvious Adso was given plenty of attention & he came home happy & healthy! We had great communication the whole time & pics when Adso would sit still. Definitely recommend ??”
“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!”
“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.”
