“Sherryann has been a great help walking our dogs during a family health crisis. She is responsive, professional, and efficient, communicates well, and is good with the pups. She has reliably gotten our stressed-out dogs some air and much-needed exercise even when one of them (and they are large) was feeling fussy and balky and extra shy. I highly recommend her.”
About: I was raised on a small farm, where caring for animals was part of daily life. Horses, goats, sheep, cows, chickens, rabbits, dogs, cats, reptiles, even the occasional rescue raccoon. That foundation grew into a passion, and eventually, a career. I’ve spent the past six years working as a veterinary technician with both large and small animals, and I recently earned my Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science from LSU! At the heart of it all, I know what it feels like to love an animal like family. My late Aussie, Tayt, taught me that. Pets aren’t just pets—they can become your world. Under my care, they’ll be treated with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own! As a recent graduate from LSU with a Bachelor’s in Animal Science, I bring both academic knowledge and hands-on experience to the care of your pets. I’m currently dedicating the next few months to growing my business on Rover while working from home and planning the next chapter of my career in animal care. This means I have the flexibility and availability to be fully present for your pets—providing attentive, knowledgeable, and compassionate care throughout the day. For those special needs and senior pets, I can give oral meds, subcutaneous fluids, IV and IM injections, apply topical treatments, and be extra mindful on monitoring their health. During each boarding request/house sit/day care I can provide: • bathing • nail trims • grooming • several walks • and give endless affection! If you book me for house sitting, your home can get VIP treatment too. I’m happy to help with cleaning, watering plants or gardens, and general tidying—whatever brings you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I am grew up in family with many pets. My family breed basset hounds for a few years. As an adult, I've always owned dogs of various breeds, including some adopted from a shelter. One sweet dog my daughters and I adopted after it was hit by a car. Dogs have always been a part of my family. I have been a pet sitter for friends and family. I am trustworthy, reliable, and responsible. I have always enjoyed walking and playing with dogs. I walk my dogs in Audubon park often. I would take excellent care of your dog. I would make sure all their needs are met. I am available in the early morning, afternoon, and evening both weekdays and weekends. I look forward to caring for your dog.
About: I’ve had pets (dogs and cats) for nearly my entire life! I have a genuine love for all animals and am very attentive & patient. I currently have 3 cats with 3 entirely different personalities, a sweet senior dog, and a fiesty little hamster. Tell me your needs & they shall be met! I work part-time and have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I will work with your requests and be very upfront about expectations before the scheduled visits. I am offering to come to the pet’s home and provide care for them there. Before you’re away, we will schedule a meet up to go over everything. I’m happy to spend as much or as little time with your pets as you desire!
About: Although I own 2 cats now, I grew up with dogs (large and small) and look forward to any opportunity to walk/run/play with any dogs who may need some outside time or owners that need some quiet time. I work part time and have plenty of morning or evening hours to watch or walk any dogs that need quiet company, play time, or to let off some energy. I have 2 elderly, cats at home, but am willing to come to your home or work to watch your animals. Would love for them to feel safe in their own environment.
About: I have always loved dogs growing up we always had 2 dogs at a time. I have my own dog now and he is my everything. I love to go on walks, go to the park etc. just like the dogs do!

I have a dog as well so even if I am in a meeting, my dog is very playful so he will keep your furry friend company I have a fenced yard and one pup that will keep your dog company. He is very playful and loves other dogs. If you would like to crate your dog I have a crate for them or you can provide your own.
About: Hi, I’ve cared for pets big and small—from Chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees, cats, rabbits (I have two!), fish, and even farm animals. I always take time to understand each pet’s needs so they feel safe, happy, and loved. Reliable, communicative, and flexible—I treat your pets like my own! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, midday, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or snuggles, I’m happy to build my day around keeping your pet happy and cared for. I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I follow all instructions closely, keep pets safe and secure, and make sure their routine stays consistent to reduce stress. I’m reliable, tidy, and always communicate clearly, so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.
About: Hello, my name is Erik. I'm a true dog lover who has been dog walking/pet sitting for over 15 years. I grew up here in New Orleans, and after being gone for several years I have returned home. I have a special connection with dogs and I love spending lots of time with them at the park playing ball, going on long walks, or just laying on the floor with them giving belly rubs . I know dogs are a special part of your family and finding someone who can take care of them is challenging. For that reason, I do my best to make them feel comfortable and treat them as if they were mine. I am a real estate agent here in the greater New Orleans area, and so I am usually out-and-about with clients during the day; for that reason, I am available most any day during the week while you are at work. I can also do afternoon, evening & overnight visits. I also like to spend about 30-45 minutes with each pet, so that they get the exercise they need during the day. I look forward to taking care of you furry baby! :)
About: I’ve taken care of my own household dogs for my entire life, and currently care for my small dog and a rabbit. I worked at a dog daycare for 2.5 years and petsmart for 1 year. I have the flexibility to care for pets as needed due to my current work schedule. I’m available for dog walking and boarding at any time I have a small fenced yard and enjoy dog walks as well. My own dog is crated but I’m open to the owners presence for their dog when sitting.
About: I have walked my friend's dog when they are not home for many times, even boarding them at my apartment. I have own cat for 3 years, caring for his nails cutting, claw shaving, flea treating, ear mite cleaning, bathing and so on. I work from home now, so I'm available for taking care of them. It is for me to walk out the apartment twice a day. I have a fenced yard and free home to take care your pet, the street is very pet friendly nearby. I have a cat can be your pet's accompany.
About: I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality! I’ve cared for my sweet senior dog, Pip, who needed extra TLC, an adorably picky Shih Tzu, and Louise, a high-energy Lab who never runs out of zoomies. I’m all about matching their vibe—long walks and playtime for the energetic pups, cozy snuggles for the laid-back ones, and making sure even the most particular pets feel safe and happy. I’ve also lived with cats who want to cuddle 24/7 and others who are nonstop players, so I’m ready for whatever mood they’re in. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home! I am currently enrolled at Tulane, but I have an open summer to spend lots of time with your furry friend! When school starts, I will be a bit busier but I will have lots of time in the mornings, evenings and weekends to hang out with pets. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping them happy, comfortable, and relaxed in their familiar space. For cats, I follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, and litter box cleaning, with plenty of patience for shy or special-needs cats like my own three-legged kitty, Sully. I love adapting to each cat’s personality—whether they want constant play, cozy snuggles, or just quiet company. For dogs, I make sure to keep up with their normal schedule for walks, meals, play, and potty breaks. I’m experienced with a wide range of dogs—from senior pups who need extra gentle care to high-energy dogs who love long walks and active play. I always focus on making them feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. And of course, I know how important peace of mind is for you! I’ll send lots of photos and updates during each visit so you always know how your furry friend is doing.
About: I’ve been a dog owner since the age of 8, and yes our good ole Akira (name of my first dog) is still with my family and I. She’s a Lab/Pit mix and we love her to death. My experience coming up to now has been a wonderful journey, from when she was a puppy, till now. She has learned so much, and we are so proud of her. Patience is the key. From her first bark, to her latest stick fetch, she is such a exciting and hyper dog! What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my mentality. I’ve worked for a couple pet companies, and I’ve noticed one thing they barely have is patience. With such a innocent and loving animal that’s what they need; patience and love. Pet care is built into my day—I start and end every day checking in on them. Walks, playtime, and feeding are part of my regular routine, not something I ‘fit in.’ I make sure they get consistent attention, exercise, and affection every single day, just like I would with my own pet. In my home, pets get a safe, cozy space with plenty of love, play, and supervision. I follow their normal feeding and exercise schedule to keep them comfortable. In a client’s home, I respect their space, keep things clean, and stick to any routines or instructions they provide—whether that’s walks, playtime, medications, or cuddle time. My goal is to make them feel secure and happy, wherever they are
About: I’m KC, a lifelong animal-lover with specialized training, boundless energy, and a truly playful heart – consistently ready to cuddle, walk, and keep pets smiling! I seamlessly incorporate pet sitting into my daily routine: balancing remote work, errands, and consistent check-ins to ensure every furry friend feels safe and loved. I provide a calm, one-on-one environment, where your pup is my sole focus—no other dogs around. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is on-leash and closely supervised, ensuring a safe, happy stay.
About: From the time I could walk, I have brought home strays and raised multiple litters of dogs. I have a natural way with them and they tend to trust me easily. I treat all animals like they are my own children, so your fur baby would be in very good hands. I have never not had a dog at any point in my life and am confident in my abilities with everything that comes with having them. I’ve done dog/house sitting for a couple of years now and would like to start doing it full time! I have two dogs that I take care of daily and spend all of my spare time with. There is not a moment I don’t want to be with them! I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of space for your baby to roam around and smell all the smells. I have a husky and a pitterrier that are sweet and playful, so they will have friends to play with!
About: Throughout my life I have pet sat dogs, cats, rats, bunnies, and reptiles such as bearded dragons and currently work at a doggy daycare/vet. Not only do I have experience caring for animals in a home but I also have experience caring for animals at work and feeding and bathing/exercising them. I am a pretty busy gal but I still have time for your pets! I work Sunday through Monday either 8:30-5, 7:30-4 or 7-3:30. Im off on Feidays and Saturdays. I usually can provide services for your animal in the evenings/late afternoons and weekends. I enjoy providing daily exercise and snuggles. I have a fenced front yard, long concrete driveway perfect for running, and a fenced in backyard with a deck for animals that like to be outside but also need to be monitored. I also have 2 dog friendly dogs and a cat and 3 rats.

Kc S.
“KC is one of the most responsible, caring, and intuitive people I know—especially when it comes to animals.

Lillian N.
“Absolutely blown away by Lillian! She took care of my two dogs—who are complete opposites in energy and have very specific care needs—with more attention, patience, and love than I could have ever hoped for. One of my pups is high-energy and needs constant stimulation, while the other is more low-key with some health quirks, and somehow Lillian managed to cater to both perfectly. She kept me updated with thoughtful messages and the cutest photos that made me feel at ease while I was away. I never once had to worry—she clearly understood their routines, personalities, and quirks like she’d known them forever. Lillian went above and beyond in every way. I would hire her a hundred more times without hesitation. She’s not just a dog-sitter—she’s a dog whisperer, a professional, and a genuinely kind person who treats your pets like family. Don’t hesitate. Book her. You—and your pups—will be so glad you did!”
Alex L.Star Sitter
“Alex L. watched my very high maintenance dog at the last minute for me when I had to travel at the drop of a hat. She walked and fed him, but she also gave him the extra attention he needs and stopped by just to play with him and love on him as well. Alex went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy and healthy and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Westwego dog parents share their Rover experiences
Margarida was great with Freddie. She replied very quickly my last minute request, it was easy to communicate with, and her report card was very sweet and had 12 photos of their walk which is always so nice to see while I’m away form my dog. Thank you Margarida!
First time having Cody as my pet sitter/walker and I'm so pleased with the level of attentive care and service! Cody was recommended to me by a friend with multiple pets as well for my 4 day trip out of town, and came to my house twice a day to care for my dogs during a very busy jazz festive time. Despite my dogs being very nervous and chaotic in the beginning, Cody was patient and gentle, not to mention very communicative the entire time, and my babies finally calmed down and loved their daily visits and walks. 10/10, 5 stars and will be booking with Cody in the future! Thank you!
I cannot say enough good! Christopher has helped me so much with my new rescue. As a traveling nurse who works long, impossible hours he has helped me transition my dog into his new life. It has been such a relief to know my dog is in such trusting and capable hands!
