“She's great! She helped socialize my boy with the other doggos staying there and gave him a bath and a nail trim before he came home! He's tuckered out from a great little vacation.”
“Raven was very helpful with my fur baby! She sent daily updates and her and her family really seemed to take my dog in as their own. I was in a bind as my holiday plans changed at the last minute and she was very accommodating and thoughtful. I appreciate her so much!”
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.
“Thank you so much for taking care of my boy. They did a great job, and he seemed to have a good time, which I appreciate. I will be reaching out for my next trip or day event. Thank you!”
“Cheryn was great with Missy. Missy had some separation anxiety as well as a little bit of fear of another dog but Cheryn handled it all incredibly well and we knew Missy was in good hands as always!”
“Iryna was incredibly sweet and nurturing to our cats, Ziggy & Roux! Her communication with me throughout their stay with her was impeccable. We hope to work with Iryna again!”
“Rachel and Michael were great with our fur baby. They were very nice to keep our fur baby during the Thanksgiving holiday. We came to NOLA to visit for holiday and it was great to have a reliable sitter near by. We would definitely have them sit again if we come to NOLA again.”
“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!”
“I love Ms. Etta. She’s so good with Bronx and he comes home tired and well taken care of! We’ve found a new Auntie for my boy and I couldn’t be happier. Will definitely be using her again”
“This was my first time using a dogsitter and the first time I've been away from my Nola for so long. Shelby was excellent with communucation and sent me regular updates. While Nola was excited to see me, i could tell she misses her friends. Thanks Shelby and Mom, we look forwards for future slumber parties.”
“This is our second time boarding with Ms. Nicole and everything was great once again. We were able to leave Ocho in her care for five days while on vacation and trusted that he was in good hands. Most definitely will be booking again!”
“Blair was fantastic. She was extremely responsive and very easy to schedule pick up/drop off. She has a pup of her own that got along great with my dog. I will definitely be booking her again.”
“Mike is an awesome sitter! He takes great care of our 5 year old French bulldog/Boston terrier mix. He communicates regularly and sends lots of pictures, giving us peace of mind that our little guy is having fun. I highly recommend Mike for your daycare or boarding needs.”
“Michael kept Benji the Basenji for the weekend in NOLA. Things seemed to go great. Michael was very responsive throughout the weekend when I inquired how things were going. We will definitely reach out to Michael again for keeping Benji. His location is also great if you’re staying in the quarter area.”
“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!”
“Lindsey is great! My dog Ruby loved staying with her and her dog. She sent us pictures and videos every day. She is incredibly responsive and obviously cares about the animals she takes care of. We will definitely book with her again!!”
“Our dogs were treated like family during their stay. Danielle’s home is clean and pet friendly. She sent updates with photos and they came home just as happy as when they left. Definitely recommend Danielle to other dog moms.”
“Cindy was great with my large, playful, still a puppy at 12 months, 81 pound golden doodle. We only had him 2 months when vacation made a sitter necessary, so his training is still in progress. He mouths and jumps when excited, which is a large portion of the time. Cindy was great with him. He stayed with her 2 weeks. My daughter came to take him for a walk over the weekend, and he was happy to go back inside Cindy's home. I would recommend Cindy as a pet sitter.”

“Caitlin was super responsive and communicative, she befriended our two cats immediately and went beyond her duties as a sitter. I would highly recommend her.”
“Chloe did a great job watching my Elton, who can be a high maintenance kitty. She sent daily pictures and updates. I came home to him happy healthy and relaxed. The house was neat and clean. I would highly recommend Chloe to anyone needing a pet sitter.”
“Recently booked Carlie for drop-in visits for our cat during our 5-day vacation. I was worried about leaving her with a rather long to-do list, but she handled it with ease. I also enjoyed the goofy pics she took of my girl and the report card she provided after every visit. She far exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you again, Carlie! 😸”
“She accepted my last minute request for someone to check in on my cat. Very flexible, and despite the fact I hadn't prepared, she took care of everything. Thank you!”

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.

Their comfort is my first priority.

“Michael was amazing!! He helped make our trip so much better! He accommodated our needs and helped us in every way. Thank you Michael!! I highly recommend him!!”
“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 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.

Originally from TX in the US marines me and my soon to be wife. Have our first puppy. I am looking for a 2nd job, and pet care would be an amazing 2nd job. I can care for the pet on weekends, and once I get off work. My normal work week is Monday-Friday 6am-430pm or 0600 to 1630 Honestly probly depends on the pet, younger dogs especially puppies need more attention than older dogs, and older dogs may have different needs.

About: What sets me apart is the time and care I put into getting to know every pet as an individual. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level, so I’m always willing to create a care plan that’s tailored specifically to their needs. Whether your dog is energetic and loves long walks, prefers a slower pace, needs extra patience, or has special instructions, I’m happy to adapt my care to make them feel comfortable and secure. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet, so you can feel confident they’re receiving the same love, attention, and consistency they get from you. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, giving me the flexibility to provide dependable, attentive care.

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.

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: 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.

Their comfort is my first priority.
About: Hi! My name is Brion. (Bree-ahn) I’m a 32 year old female. I’ve always had some sort of pet in my life. I currently have a 1 y/o male golden doodle who is not spayed. I also have a 6 y/o daughter who absolutely adores animals. On weekends my daughter and I would love nothing more than a play buddy. We like taking walks outside and getting fresh air when needed. We live in a fenced home with a backyard, front yard, & a park. So there’s plenty of space for activities and energy. I also have a large cage of my own if needed.
About: I lost my own dog, Maika, a few years ago. She was 14 years old but it was way too early … I’m not ready to get a new dog myself, so Rover has been perfect. I moved to New Orleans a few years ago from Minnesota, where I was also an active member of Rover. My partner, Jonathan, and I bought a house that was built in 1909 — originally as an outdoor market in Holy Cross. It’s now a huge open space attached to a large fenced in yard. Dogs love it!. The dogs hang with me and I usually leave the door open to the back yard, which is basically a mini park with several fruit trrees. The neighborhood itself is also wonderful, there’s a large open field that is fenced in, I a great place for playing fetch or chasing frisbees. The levee is also perfect for long morning or evening walks. I''m a writer and work from home, so having a pup or two around is a real pleasure. I often take the dogs on walks or runs along the levee. But there’s also plenty of space in the house in yard if they just want to chill at home. Usually I work and puddle about doing arts and crafts and doggy's tag behind. The yard has both sunny spots and nice shade… Perfect for the pups.
About: I’ve taken care my dogs my who life. They were always played with, well feed, taken on walks, and groomed to perfection. I love taking care and spending time with animals. I’m available some weekends before 3pm and during the week days I am in school so I have more free time on my hands from working. I have had dogs and cats in my life. My last pet was a female Siamese Cat her name was Nala and I had dog named Bacchus years before her and some one stole them both. But, they stayed with shot updates, vet updates, toys, stocked on food, treats, clothes, love and much entertainment from me. I also believe outside time is very important, it gives them a sense of calmness.
About: I love all animals and have experience caring for them. I currently own 2 dogs 1 cat and 1 bunny . I grew up on a farm and had every kind of pet imaginable I am available anytime to care for your pets.

“She's great! She helped socialize my boy with the other doggos staying there and gave him a bath and a nail trim before he came home! He's tuckered out from a great little vacation.”
“Raven was very helpful with my fur baby! She sent daily updates and her and her family really seemed to take my dog in as their own. I was in a bind as my holiday plans changed at the last minute and she was very accommodating and thoughtful. I appreciate her so much!”
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.
“Thank you so much for taking care of my boy. They did a great job, and he seemed to have a good time, which I appreciate. I will be reaching out for my next trip or day event. Thank you!”
“Iryna was incredibly sweet and nurturing to our cats, Ziggy & Roux! Her communication with me throughout their stay with her was impeccable. We hope to work with Iryna again!”
“I love Ms. Etta. She’s so good with Bronx and he comes home tired and well taken care of! We’ve found a new Auntie for my boy and I couldn’t be happier. Will definitely 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!”
“Lindsey is great! My dog Ruby loved staying with her and her dog. She sent us pictures and videos every day. She is incredibly responsive and obviously cares about the animals she takes care of. We will definitely book with her again!!”
“Our dogs were treated like family during their stay. Danielle’s home is clean and pet friendly. She sent updates with photos and they came home just as happy as when they left. Definitely recommend Danielle to other dog moms.”
“Cindy was great with my large, playful, still a puppy at 12 months, 81 pound golden doodle. We only had him 2 months when vacation made a sitter necessary, so his training is still in progress. He mouths and jumps when excited, which is a large portion of the time. Cindy was great with him. He stayed with her 2 weeks. My daughter came to take him for a walk over the weekend, and he was happy to go back inside Cindy's home. I would recommend Cindy as a pet sitter.”
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.
“We had a fantastic experience boarding our dog Cleo with Katie!!! She was very communicative and sent us lots of updates and photos throughout the week. We knew Cleo was being loved and taken care of the entire time we were away. 10/10 experience!”
“Katherine and her family were great with my shy little chihuahua. They were also super flexible with pickup and drop off when my flight times kept getting changed. Highly recommend!”
“Percy kept my pups Enzo and Marley I will 100% be booking with him again!! He was very easy to get in touch with and kept me updated on how my babies were doing daily. I know they were treated like family!!”
“Regina is exceedingly friendly, communicative, and shares lots of photos. I thought she was very accommodating. This was my first time using River. We met up for a meet and greet with my dog and went over care. I felt very comfortable letting my dog stay with her as I knew she was in capable care. Also I sincerely believe that my dog is better behaved now than she was when I dropped her off. I can't wait to drop my pup off again!”
“Roxanne and her husband are a gem! We’ve left our dog with them twice now when we’ve left town. Roxanne is very responsive and even sent pictures of our fur baby quite often throughout the week. Who doesn’t love that? ☺️ I’m so thankful to have found a reliable sitter just down the road from us that we trust! I highly recommend Roxanne and her husband.”
