“Kelly is awesome!!! She is very prompt and takes excellent care of our fur babies. Two of the four are more timid. When she has those two on her lap, that's a wonderful person. I would recommend her to everyone!! Thanks for a wonderful job!!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, growing up with two Chihuahuas and now caring for my two cats. Throughout high school and college, I regularly watched family friends’ dogs, handling everything from walks and feeding to playtime and keeping them company while their owners were away. I also cared for a senior dog for an entire summer, which taught me the importance of patience and sticking to a pet’s routine. Outside of Rover, I work as an IT Business Analyst, so being dependable, detail-oriented, and communicative comes naturally to me. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll always follow your care instructions closely. You’ll receive plenty of photo updates, and I’ll treat your pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a walk, my goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. This strikes a balance between personable and professional, which tends to perform well on Rover. It also gives potential clients confidence that you’re reliable and attentive, qualities many pet owners prioritize. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I work as an IT Business Analyst and have flexibility throughout the day, including lunch breaks, which allows me to accommodate many drop-in visits and walks. I’m available most evenings, all Friday afternoon, and weekends, and I’m happy to accept recurring bookings. I typically ask for at least one day’s notice whenever possible. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their routine closely and giving them plenty of attention, playtime, fresh water, and, of course, potty breaks or litter box care. I’ll always send photo updates so you know how your pet is doing, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, using crates or harnesses, and taking my time with shy or nervous pets. Before I leave, I always double-check that doors and gates are secure and that your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy.
“Hannah was great! She would send us daily updates and photos. One of our dogs was not sure about having a stranger in his house, but Hannah handled it like a champ. Would definitely recommend ☺️”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and caring for pets comes naturally to me. As a proud dog mom to three mini schnauzers, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets—they’re family. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, including puppies who need structure and play, and senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I make it a priority to follow your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals—whether that’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to give you peace of mind and make your pet feel loved, safe, and cared for at all times. Caring for animals is already part of my everyday life. I plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, and quality time with pets, so I can give them consistent attention and care. I truly enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether in my home or a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment. I stick to each pet’s routine for feeding, walks, and rest, and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated so they always know how their pet is doing.
“We booked with Sarah over 10 times now because she is awesome! We can tell she really cares about our pets and shows them lotsss of love! We have also given her complicated care/feeding instructions and she followed them perfectly.

Walking dogs is just a hobby I like to do since I already have to. i have a cat as well, I take cats as well if that’s something you are interested in. If your dog does not like other dogs, please be sure to let me know before I walk your dog. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Thank you. During the week I do have college, i go to San Jac which is T/Th at 8:35-10:35am. Other than that I’m free to watch your pets ;) I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment when caring for pets at client’s home. I ensure all spaces are pet-proofed, free of hazards, and suited to their specific needs. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special care instructions to maintain consistency. Building trust is key, so I use positive reinforcement, gentle handling, and patience to help pets feel secure. At a client’s, I create an stress-free, loving atmosphere where pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: Ever since I raised my dogs, I learned that they are more than just pets, they are family. It is all about patience and understanding their needs. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and have 3 dogs where 2 of them understand Spanish while my Frenchie is bilingual. I speak to my dogs in a gentle matter as they have the tendency to listen to positive tones. If pets need medication, I make sure to follow instructions as their health comes first. I currently have a dog who is a senior and on medication. I always make sure my babies are well and can tell when something is wrong. I work on a hybrid schedule where I’m in the office 3 times a week and can choose what days to go. If I am in care of a pet, I will work around my schedule to make sure I am present for them when I am at home. I do not go out at night and will be home especially when taking care of someone. I have a fenced backyard. I have 2 outside dogs (a chihuahua and a pitbull) and 1 inside dog (a Frenchie) who all have been neutered and spayed. Your pet will stay indoors for most of the time and my Frenchie will be excited to have someone to play with. Plenty of dog toys will be available. My outside dogs are senior dogs and will mostly ignore your pet as they do with my Frenchie.
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals, having grown up surrounded by both dogs and cats. During high school, I completed three years of veterinary-focused coursework, including Small Animal Management, Veterinary Medicine, Wildlife & Fish, and Livestock Management. I’ve been sitting for the past 3 years through Facebook, personal referrals. I am currently taking online courses and have a part time job at grace church leaving me with a flexible schedule. I work 2 days a week 5pm-9pm and 1 day a week 7am-4:00pm I was an intern at a vet clinic for the past 2 summers so I have experience being able to read your babies body language and how to control the situation if you would like to ask how I would handle certain situations feel free to ask and I will happily answer:) I will also bathe your pets, trim nails if requested with no extra charges. I do not charge for extra pets I am trying to fix it on my profile

Jessica was great for a first time drop in visit request. We did a meet and greet where we showed her the house and how to care for our dogs and she followed every step. She sent great updates and pictures while we were out for the holiday. She was very communicative and professional. I highly recommend her!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a La Porte stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in La Porte choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in La Porte with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
