“Lele is always so nice to send us updates on our kitty boys. They are very “stranger danger” and rarely come out when she arrives for her visit but it gives me peace of mind to know that someone is checking on them.”
“Jailah was incredible! She helped me when I made several errors making my first booking. She sent great pics and was great with the dogs! Definitely will book again:).”
“Caitlin is great with our cat, Lola. Lola can be nervous at times but she always looks forward to seeing Caitlin. Caitlin is reliable and always provides detailed updates about Lola.”
“Sarah is amazing! She did an hour long drop in for my 4 senior dogs, one of whom is special needs and needs his bladder expressed. It’s very comforting to know that a caring, competent pet sitter is checking in on our babies while we’re at work. She sends great updates in the report card and cute pics!!”
“Thank you so much for doing such a wonderful job taking care of Ritz! I came home to a very happy and healthy dog and greatly appreciate your attention to detail, promptness, and overall fantastic dog-sitting abilities.”
“Sage claimed he didn’t have any experience with cats but he took care of Sophie without a hitch. He is courteous, punctual and dependable and provided all the care and nurturing she needed. His report cards showed a contented cat, and he was considerate in keeping our home neat. We will gladly ask Sage to come care for Sophie in the future.”
“We always love Keyona and this time we hired her to take our dog Lucy for three weeks while we were away. She was so flexible and accommodating, and she's the only one we'd trust to take our fur baby for that long. She acted very responsibly when she noticed Lucy was itchy. We always miss Lucy while we're away but Keyona sends pictures and let's us know how she's doing. It was so clear how much our dog loves Keyona when I picked her up and she didn't want to leave. We highly recommend Keyona!!”
“I feel great & secure going out of town for a few days knowing my pooch will be well cared for. She’s happy when I get back home & my place is well respected. Thanks Alaina!”
“Devin did a great job caring for Ramah. You can tell how much he loves dogs from the first introductory visit. He knows how to put them at ease. And he isn’t intimidated by big powerful dogs like my Akita. He is reliable and a great communicator. Devin also takes the best pictures of our dogs! He should be a professional pet photographer!”
“Chloe is wonderful! So kind and communicative. This was my first time using Rover and I was a bit nervous, but she totally put me at ease. She agreed to a meet and greet beforehand and was so patient with my puppy. She also sent thoughtful updates with plenty of pictures and was respectful to my living space. Highly recommend, thanks, Chloe!”
“Arises was so helpful and caring with our two cats while we were out of town. She interacted with them (as much as they would allow) and made sure their needs were met. Would not hesitate to have her take care of them again!”
About: I am a flexible, reliable dog owner and lover. I understand the amount of energy dogs can have, and I work to meet their individual needs. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality. I am available many days of the week to take care of your babies while you are away at work. I also have an older dog with special needs, so I am understanding of dogs with disabilities or medical needs, and I know how scary it can be to leave your senior dogs with someone new. I am available to take your dog on plenty of walks through out the day to ensure that they are getting the exercise and attention they need. I have taken care of dogs for many years and I understand how important they are to a family, so I strive to treat everyone's dog as my own. I have toys and leashes and treats so that all my dogs have a great time, and to make drop off and pick up easy on the owners! I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I can be available according to your dog's regular routine and needs. I like to stick to the dog's regular routine as closely as possible. I like to learn about the dog and it's owner so that I understand their usual routine, so that we can stick to what they are used to as closely as possible to minimize seperation anxiety and prevent any schedule disruptions.
About: I have always had pets in my home, with lovely experiences. Volunteered at 3 kennels for animals In need. I able to care for animals very well. I have open availability for the most part and do not mind working the weekends. Have lots of time to walk my new friends around. I would love to come to your home for sitting. I will walk the animals in parks and around New Orleans. Would be interested in home sitting once I get to know the animal.
“I was so appreciative of Sherryann for accepting a booking last minute for my two cats. They were communicative, on time, and I could tell my socialable cat was in love! Thank you again so much 🙏🏻 I will definitely be booking again in the near future.”
About: Hello! I have been a pet owner, caretaker, and lover for the majority of my life, but really began my professional career as a Pet Sitter when I left home for college and didn't have any furry friends in my dorm room. I've worked with every type of dog, fromteacup Pomeranians all the way up to Great Pyrenees and I've never met a dog I didn't love. I have experience administering medications, helping dogs with handicaps, behavioral issues, and everything in between. I love to have an excuse to get outdoors and go on adventures, so I bet your fur baby will even miss you while you're away! I am happy to do overnights in your home or to host your pet at my place, where I have 2 dogs of my own who LOVE to have sleepovers with new friends. Let me know what I can help you with! I work a 9-5, but have a hybrid model, so I can work remotely while I watch your pets if needed! My schedule is very flexible and I can meet most requests, especially Wednesday - Sunday. I will always take care of your pet and your home like it is my own, if not even better! I always follow the golden rule and leave things better than I found them if possible.
About: After a tragically pet-free childhood, I've spent the last 20 years seeking out any opportunity to care for animals—from free dog walking for friends and cat-sitting for vacationing pals to hiking with hounds and being a designated vet chauffeur. I love exploring the outdoors with a dog, chucking sticks across empty fields, and praising them for every "good stretch"! I do everything I can to make pet parents feel comfortable and assured when they leave their furry friends in my care—including plenty of photos and updates! I work from home as a writer/editor and a live-edge woodworker, so my schedule is entirely flexible and under my control. I have a fenced-in backyard with ample shade where I often write and work, so outside time is always available for the animals I care for. I love walking the city and wandering through green spaces, especially Audubon Park and City Park, and having a puppy pal to accompany me makes it even more enjoyable. My interior home space is approximately 1,800 square feet, with multiple couches and rooms and sunspots for dogs and/or cats to relax and lounge. The fenced-in backyard is well-secured with a 6-foot fence for stress-free bathroom breaks, and my active lifestyle takes me on at least 2 longer walks each day, typically in the morning and evening. At a client's home, I pride myself on being highly adaptable to new routines and expectations, and my career as an editor makes me very attentive to details, e.g., medication needs, feeding times, sleep schedules, walk durations, etc. Whether you need someone to pop in and play with your pooch for an hour, or leave your animal at my home for a longer trip, you can rest assured they will be cared for, loved and pampered in a safe and comfortable environment.
“I messed up and left the chain hooked on the door so Jasmin couldn't get in. Fortunately, my cats had enough food and water to last until I got home. Jasmin was very kind about my mess up and still came to visit and pet the kitten through the crack in the front door!”
“I had a great experience working with Russell. He was friendly, professional, and very accommodating, even agreeing to watch my cat while taking care of 4 other animals for the holiday. He clearly cares about pets, and did a great job with my cat (although my cat doesn't have any special needs). I would certainly ask him to help out again.”

Shelby R.
“Shelby took such excellent, loving care of my pets while I was out of town. I have an 80lb reactive dog who has a LOT of energy and strength, and it was obvious that this was not the first challenging dog she’s worked with and handled with ease. I’m not a person who feels like I need any photos while I’m out of town but Shelby sent them anyway, which was such a happy surprise each time. My pets were all happy upon my return, which meant a lot to me, as I’ve seen my cat stressed in the past under a different caretaker. I feel at such ease knowing I now have Shelby to trust with my babies :)”
John S.
“John has taken care of my dog Toad many times and Toad and I can both attest that he is a wonderful caregiver. Toad absolutely loves John and he loves her just as much. I highly recommend John as a petsitter, and am confident your pets will feel very safe, healthy, and happy as can be with him while they wait for your return.”

Whitney pet parents share their Rover experiences
Caitlin took very good care of V and even fed my outdoor kitties (which I did not ask for lol) because she is clearly a cat loved! She even had to clean up some throw-up and did not mind. She left detailed recaps in her rover cards as well, I would love to have her care for V again :) Thanks, Caitlin!
Loren is fantastic! She did drop by visits with my two high energy pities. They can’t do walks in the summer due to medication they’re on, so they need playtime in the backyard for their exercise. She was great, played with them and then spent some snuggle time with them during the visits. My two pups are big fans! I have a lot of anxiety when I leave my dogs, but it was clear that Loren is an animal lover, and she gave my babies tons of attention.
This is the second time we had Jenny check in on our cats while we went out of town, and I cannot tell you how much peace of mind it brings me when we are away! She goes above and beyond and makes it so easy. I used to really stress on trips about my kitties back home, and even lose sleep over worrying about them - but not anymore. We are so glad we found Jenny!
Samantha is excellent! It was my first time leaving cats for a week and Samantha made it easy for me to be away and not worry. She gave updates twice a day with photos, and patiently answered my text questions. Samantha went above and beyond the required. Great communication skills. Reliable, responsible, and flexible. I highly recommend Samantha!
Nikki was wonderful! She was professional, on time for all drop ins, great with using the Rover card and adding pictures of my dog. Nikki even noticed that my senior dog was having some anxiety due to fireworks and gave him his anxiety meds and replaced his potty pads. Highly recommend- will reach out to her again for pet sitting!
Sarah was so good with our cats. She jumped in to help us out last minute. We have three young cats, one of which is really shy but he came out for her during her visits which is always a relief. She’s very friendly and professional, and our cats liked her! We were very pleased with her service. ♥️
Keyona was handle our dogs with great care while we were away for our wedding weekend. She was prompt for each visit, followed feeding and out time instructions, built a great rapport for future visits, and was just all around sweet. We will definitely be booking with Keyona again.
