“Ellen was so attentive and loving to my girl while I was away. Spent time giving her love and attention as well as taking care of her feeding / walking needs. She was super attentive and gave lots of picture updates too. Would definitely book again.”

About: Foster dog mom and dog sitter. Recently lost my beagle and miss pup time. I treat my friend’s dogs like my own and they actually encouraged me to start a profile. I like walking and don’t mind slow sniffers. I’m aware of squirrels and cats in my neighborhood and avoid them when necessary. I work full time but have availability evenings and weekends. Looking forward to long walks, tails wagging while sniffing and again meeting daily step goals. I have a small backyard and shotgun house which I own. I can crate if necessary but if your fur baby is trustworthy, I’m happy to let him or her free range guard my house during the day. The window facing the street is typically pretty entertaining. I got rid of my dog camera when Maggie passed away but may set an iPad up, again. Meet n Greets prior to a stay is a must, my foster dog is dog-shy at first but loves people.
“This is the second time Deana has watched my kitty. Just as good as the first time. He was very happy and well kept after. Deana was very thorough with lots of good pics and lots of information to let me know how he was. She’s a gem!!!”

“Danielle watched our dog Finley while we were away on spring break. We both felt immediately comfortable with her on our first visit. He was very well cared for. I highly recommend her and will be using her again!”

About: Hi!! I’m Eva, a graduate from LSU & currently in my MBA at Loyola. I have hands-on experience through fostering, volunteer work, and caring for dogs with a range of temperaments. I’m familiar with training basics, positive reinforcement, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m calm, attentive, and reliable, and I focus on creating a safe, comfortable environment while keeping owners updated and at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows pet care to fit easily into my daily and weekly routine. My summer is free, thanks to being a student. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive reinforcement, while giving pets plenty of attention and affection. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I keep the space clean, calm, and comfortable and provide regular updates so owners feel confident and informed.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and cats and have always loved caring for them. I regularly walk and watch pets for friends and family. I currently have one sweet cat of my own and treat every pet like they’re part of the family! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine since I work from home with a flexible schedule. Walks are a great midday break, and my evenings and weekends are usually open, making it easy to provide reliable, consistent care throughout the week. When caring for pets in my home or others, I prioritize their safety, comfort and routine, I treat every pet with love, patience, and reliable attention – just like they’re my own. You can trust that your pet is in caring, capable hands at all times.
“Doc is just simply the best. Being able to truly enjoy a vacation knowing your babies are safe and well cared for is priceless. So thankful for this wonderful human!”

“We can't say enough good things about Nycole. Our diabetic, kidney-compromised, 15 year old cat, Wylean, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, has been on a feeding tube since early November with a whole litany of medications. Nycole, a skilled and longterm vet tech, was able to give truly incredible, exhaustive care to Wylean for days, both during this latest stay to see my parents (my dad was and still is in the hospital for a broken hip) and during Christmas (to see my mother-in-law in hospice). Her three times a day updates were like something a seasoned vet would make, and Wylean was markedly better when we returned than when we left. She has gained the better part of a pound over the last month, and I credit Nycole for at least part of that. We will always be grateful. If we could leave one hundred stars, we would. A combination of empathy, high skill, talent, and an obvious, deep love for animals makes Nycole the best. Anyone hiring her is lucky, and we only hope we can hire her again for future trips. Thank you thank you thank you, Nycole!”
About: I've had dogs my entire life. My last pup, Pooka, died a few years ago after living around the world with me for 16 happy years. So I'm an empty nester looking to love on your pets until I'm ready to get one of my own again. I've cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities and even some special needs. I work from home in a sizable house on a flat topped mountain. I already take 1-2 walks during my workday to stretch my legs. Other than that, I'm a huge homebody. I’m currently living up on a mesa in the middle of nowhere. Plenty of room to run and chill. The space is not fenced so I can keep pups on leash, if needed.
“Great job, Cody! We felt perfectly at ease leaving our precious "girls" with you! Thank you for your attention to detail and attentiveness, they were extremely well cared for.”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about E and their amazing care of my rambunctious new kitten! I received daily updates that quelled my mama guilt about leaving this unexpected new family member alone for the week of vacay. Will 100% book again and again!”

About: Growing up with dogs, cats, and guinea pigs, I have a wide array of pet care experience for animal friends large and small. Frequent dogwalker and pet-sitter with extensive knowledge of care practices. I am a remote worker and student in my day-to-day life, so I can frequently care for pets in my off-time in between classes and while working at home. I will be open in my communication about any issues or special needs that pets will need and trust that clients will communicate any special needs to me.
About: Hi, I’m Mike! I’ve had dogs my whole life, and have spent the last few years working as a dog sitter and walker. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including hyperactive pups and senior dogs with mobility issues. I also have experience administering medicine. I am a 1000% dog LOVER so rest assured your furry friends will get all the love, attention, and play they deserve :) My schedule is flexible and I’m able to travel anywhere on the East Bank for walks and visits, potentially farther for a house stay! I don’t have any pets but my friends and neighbors regularly trust me to care for their best friends and I look forward to doing the same for you! <3 I’m seeking to continue taking care of pups full-time here in New Orleans so I’ve got nothing but time :) I don’t mind early mornings or late evenings! If a dog has a lot of energy, I love to match it and play all day! If they’re a little slower moving and like to smell the roses, I let them take their time :) I’m attentive, patient, and loving❤️❤️

About: I have always been around dogs and grew up surrounded by animals, so caring for pets has always felt natural to me. Over the years, I have helped take care of multiple dogs at a time, including watching 2+ dogs for a week at a time while their owners were away. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, giving lots of attention, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe and cared for when their owners are gone, so I always make sure to be dependable, patient, and attentive. I love spending time with animals and would treat every pet like they are part of my own family. Pet care fits well into my daily and weekly routine because I am currently not working, so I have plenty of time to give pets attention, walks, playtime, and care. I am available on weekdays and weekends anytime. I enjoy being around animals, so spending time with dogs easily fits into my schedule. I care for pets in their own home by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, routines, and any special needs. I respect the client’s home and keep things clean and organized while I am there. I also give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and love so they feel comfortable while their owner is away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds my whole life. As a teenager, I began taking care of dogs for folks in town that would go on vacation. Since then, I’ve often been the go-to guy for several friends and family that trusted me with their beloved pets. I’ve always found it natural to get along with dogs, even dogs that I was told didn’t generally take to strangers well. I’m more than happy to take care of all your dogsitting needs and hope to become your pup’s new best friend! I currently live a very pet friendly lifestyle. I can provide care during morning, afternoon, or evening hours. I can easily fit my schedule around the needs of your pets as I am frequently out in the neighborhood parks and on walks with friends both quad- and bi-pedal alike. I understand how different dogs can be in personality and energy, and can provide care accordingly. I'm just as comfortable lounging around the house as I am walking to the park or just wandering the neighborhood. I am sensitive to the needs of your pets and am always willing to assist in providing proper care when it comes to feeding for your pet or attending to their basic needs. If your pet has a specific diet or routine that needs to be attended to I am happy to give you my full effort to make them feel at home.

About: I’ve always lived with dogs! Growing up, I was constantly tagged to care for neighbor’s pets while they were out of town. Even now, my friends and their parents know I’m the first one willing to step up and petsit. I have basic experience with leash training young dogs, as well as encouraging stiff seniors to get some exercise. I work full time during the weekdays, but I’m available most evenings and excited to get out of the house. My weekends are almost always open to spend time with your dog! Pet safety is my top priority. I never walk dogs along busy streets, or where there isn’t enough shoulder to feel safe. I also do not allow my dogs to interact with others on leash, since this can be unpredictable. I’m not afraid to cross the street (safely!) to avoid a meeting.
West Riverside pet parents share their Rover experiences
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! 😸

Sydney went above and beyond with my girls she is absolutely amazing and an all around beautiful person as well. I didn’t worry once about my girls while I was out of town for the first time ever and she went out of her way to do things that weren’t even required of her. I cannot thank her enough and am I am so lucky I found her !!! BOOK HER ASAP!!!!
We are so happy we found Elizabeth. She took absolutely wonderful care of our puppy and went above and beyond in every way. It is clear that Elizabeth genuinely loves dogs and treats them like her own. We will 100% be booking Elizabeth again and would recommend her without hesitation.

Danielle was great! We booked her 24 hrs before an event we needed to attend when we realized our newly adopted pup had separation anxiety. She stayed in our home with both dogs for a couple hours while we were gone. She reassured us that everyone was calm and just fine, allowing us to relax and enjoy our evening. She has a calm energy about her and our dogs immediately loved her. We will definitely use her again and highly recommend Danielle!
