“Cody stayed at our place for a couple days to take care of our two cats. They loved Cody and were very relaxed when we returned. We got regular updates and pictures which made us feel comfortable. We will definitely have Cody sit for us again!”


“Kate did an excellent job of checking in and ensuring my senior and 10-month old cats were OK while I was away on a trip. Would definitely book her again and recommend her services.”

About: Hi! I am a 22 year old pre veterinary student with a huge passion for animals (dogs and cats especially). I have accumulated extensive experience working and volunteering at vet clinics and shelters. I have had dogs of all kinds all throughout my childhood and care for my friend’s dogs when she’s away on break. I understand the patience and respect that is needed with animals, especially ones you’re newly meeting. I’m a student who lives off campus on Freret. Besides school, I have a fairly flexible schedule and can move things around and accommodate if needed! Generally, I am available Monday, Wed, Fri from 11am-8pm and Tues, Thurs from 11am-4pm I have no other pets (nor other time commitments besides school really) so I can dedicate all my time to your pup! I am also very diligent and remember to keep everything in check - i.e. having my checklist ready when visiting your home to pet sit and always making sure to lock up after me. Bottom line, open and easy communication with both pet and owner (as well as upholding mutual respect) can help my services be as safe as possible for everyone.
About: Animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember! I have over two years of experience in a veterinary office, 100+ volunteer hours with humane societies, and a degree in Animal & Dairy Sciences, giving me hands-on experience with animals of all sizes and needs. I’ve cared for everything from 1,300 lb steers to 2-ounce baby rabbits, so whether your pet is big, small, shy, energetic, or somewhere in between, they’re in safe, loving hands. I truly understand animal behavior, health, and comfort, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. From energetic puppies to senior pets and everything in between, I provide knowledgeable, loving, and reliable care, while treating every animal like my own and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. As a graduate student, I have a flexible schedule around my classes, which allows me to prioritize consistent, reliable pet care throughout the day. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, and I am able to accommodate regular check-ins, walks, feedings, and extended care as needed. My flexibility means your pet will always receive dependable attention! Safety, trust, and respect are my top priorities in every interaction with your pet and your home. I focus on attentive, detail-oriented care, clear communication, and following each pet’s routine exactly as instructed. I never make changes to feeding, medications, routines, or handling without explicit owner approval. With my background in veterinary shadowing, animal science education, and hands-on experience with animals of all sizes and temperaments, I’m trained to notice behavior changes, stress signals, and health concerns early. During walks and home check-ins, I prioritize leash safety, secure environments, proper handling, and calm, structured interactions. Your pet will always be cared for with patience, professionalism, and respect, and your home will be treated with the same level of care and trust.
“This was my second time with Ela and I’m inviting her to sit again next week! She is very easy to communicate with, very wise and intuitive with my animals. She’s clean (leaves everything exactly how I left it) and even washes her bedding which helps me out a lot! I’ve had nearly a hundred sitters over the last few years and she is one of the best. I wish I could take her to California with me when I move back next year!”

“Dani is fantastic! She took excellent care of my little kitties. 😸 Georgie took to her instantly which shows the kind and caring spirit she has. We don't travel very often, but when we do I hope Dani is around to take care of the fury ones we love. Thanks again Dani!”


About: I've had multiple dogs growing up. After moving into a house with cats, my dog now stays with my brother. I want to spend more time with dogs to balance out the cats! I'm currently working remotely, so I can make most times work unless I have a meeting. I typically know my schedule well in advance, so I can work in check-ins or walks into my schedule easily! Safety is always first on walks with secure leashes; I will be respectful in homes and of other property, and treats ready for positive experience
About: I’ve lived in a house hold that has always taken in the misfit animals - growing up, we always had at least rescue one dog and one other odd rescue fuzzy friend (usually rabbits). I know what it’s like to work with dogs that have bad pasts and am patient and confident enough to remain calm and friendly. If your dog needs a visit or two to warm up I am also comfortable working through that with you. I love pets of all personalities, shapes, and sizes! I worked at a shelter in high school and volunteered throughout my adult years, so I am not afraid of hard work or mess. I also have pet sat for friends and family throughout the years! Currently living in a pet-free situation for the first time so I have a lot of extra love to give your fuzzy friend. I am a graduate student so I have irregular hours during the weekdays. Monday/ Wednesday/ Friday I am not available 1pm - 5pm. Tuesdays/ Thursday I am not available 9 am - Noon. Weekends I am fully flexible. As of now, I cannot currently care for any furry friends in my current living situation. I hope to be able to make home visits and respect you and your pups space.
“Addie was a wonderful pet sitter to our cat. She sent video of our kitty hanging out with her and went above and beyond pet sitting by collecting our mail and packages while we were gone. Unfortunately our cat is an escape artist and was able to get outside during our absence. Addie was wonderful about looking for her and making sure she had outside food and water once she couldn't find her. Throughout the whole debacle Addie was in close contact with us and our neighbor. I definitely recommend her for all your petsitting needs!”


“Chandler took good care of my kitties and was kind enough to do an extra emergency drop in to ease my nerves! It was easy to communicate with and book with Chandler.”

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals! You can rely on me to be timely, caring, and communicative when you are away from your pets. I especially love taking pets outside for some time in nature🌱☀️ I am on Rover as a side job. I have my own pets at home that I have to take care of and work remotely. I am flexible and can help at times that work for both my plans and the family I’m helping. I’m not offering services at my own home because I have 4 pets, some being senior cats, and I don’t want to disrupt them too much. Still, I am happy to care for your pet at your place or meet up to care for them during the day! I love park walks.
“Faith took great care of my two senior cats while I was away. She also brought in mail/packages and provided great communication. I would not hesitate to use her again!”

“This is now my second booking with Hery because I was so pleased with his service the first time. I encourage everyone to book with Hery as I will continue to do so. Thank you Hery!”

Ashley was very professional and kept us updated every day. I appreciated the daily pictures, updates, and kind feedback, as well as her administering her insulin twice daily. I would definitely want Ashley to sit for us the next time we have to go out of town.

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!

Elise is truly a gem! She cared for our two cats, Thor and Freya, this April and once again delivered such a comforting, reliable experience. Her Rover cards were thoughtful and full of adorable photos that showed just how relaxed and happy the cats were in her care. It gave me so much peace of mind to see them playing, lounging, and clearly feeling safe with her. Elise is consistent, communicative, and brings a calm energy our cats absolutely love. I’m always grateful to have her as a sitter — she’s someone I trust completely.
