“Aaliyah was such a great pick. She took really good care of my two pups while I was in Tennessee. She showed up on time twice a day to check in on them, she was a great communicator and went the extra mile for them and myself to feel comfortable. She will be my go to provider as long as she is available to do so. Thank you so much Aaliyah”
“Faith was so sweet, attentive and flexible. I had to leave and find a sitter last minute and she saved the day. My dog isn’t the easiest to deal with but they got along like they knew each other forever. I’d recommend her to anyone.”
“Jacell did exactly what was asked of her and texted me to let me know she would be a little late one day. I will be using her again. She’s awesome!! My lil boi was so happy with her.”
About: Hi! My name is Kourtlynne, and I am the owner of The Spoiled Spaniel Bakery, a homemade dog treat business inspired by my sweet cocker spaniel, Shelby. I named my bakery after her because she truly is a spoiled little spaniel in the best way possible! Shelby is the dog I dreamed of having my entire life, and with her sassy, spunky personality, she wins over everyone she meets with just one look. My love for her inspired me to turn my passion for animals and baking into something special for other pet parents and their pups. Along with running my bakery, I have been working with dogs through Rover for the past 5 years and have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I also completed an internship at a veterinary clinic as a kennel technician, where I gained hands on experience in animal care and maintaining a safe, comfortable environment for pets. Currently, I work as a kennel technician at Mont Boujee Pucci, continuing to grow my experience working closely with dogs every day. My schedule is very open and flexible, and I keep my calendar updated frequently to make booking easy and reliable for pet parents. Caring for animals has always been my dream, and I love creating a safe, loving, and fun environment for every dog I meet! My schedule is very flexible, and I keep my calendar updated frequently to provide reliable availability for pet parents. I am available for weekdays, weekends, and most holidays, making it easy to accommodate your pet care needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With 5 years of experience through Rover and hands on kennel technician experience, I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment while treating every dog like family.

I have a special place in my heart for rescue pets because every animal has their own unique story. Being attentive, patient, and making your pet feel safe and loved is always my priority. I'm here to help make life easier for both you and your furry family member. 🤍 I work at my family’s business that’s from home and I do pick up sides jobs very often to earn some more cash on the side i am most flexible weekdays early morning until 4:30pm if since I am able to move my schedule around then most people I can always try to work out after hour care if really needed I’m always understanding if anything! To ensure your furry one safety I would like to go down what your most comfortable me doing in certain difficult situations or any other situations your most convened about I will never do anything that I wouldn’t do to my own pets or wouldn’t like others to do so communicate is key 🔑
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was in middle school. I’ve cared for several dogs at once and have loved on dogs from ages 2 to 12 years old (plus my own dogs from their first til their last days on earth). I love learning about each pup’s personality and quirks. They’re each so special I’m currently working full time but have availability during the day for check-ins. I also am available in the evenings and on the weekends. I currently do not have space to host pets in my home, but I plan to care for client’s pets the same way I care for my own. I give lots of cuddles, playtime, and attention to the pups I care for (adjusting accordingly for the personality of the dog). I own a German Shepherd, so I’m very accustomed to large dog breeds that require a lot of love and attention.
“Geneva is a very patient pet sitter! I had a bit of trouble with my booking and she helped me through it and never made me feel bad about it. Would definitely recommend her and use her services again.”
“She was wonderful taking care of our two fur babies. She was great with communication. My husband and I were able to have a nice comfortable getaway and know that our fur babies were well taken care of. Will definitely use Maddy again”
“Eva was fantastic with our three dogs and one cat! Everyone was cheerful and healthy throughout her stay and we came back to a clean house and happy fur babies. Its so nice to be able to have peace of mind when traveling.”
“Amina did an awesome job with the cats!!! She took time to play with them. She has a very calm presence because one of our cats is definitely not a peoples person. She got him to come to her and let her pet him.”

About: I've taken care of multiple types of dogs from an early age. I also used to have a dog named Gary (my brother named him from SpongeBob) when I was younger, but my mom couldn't afford him anymore. During school breaks, pet care fits very easily into my routine because I have a much more open and flexible schedule. I’m able to prioritize regular feedings, walks, playtime, and check-ins throughout the day without time constraints from classes. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, maintain their routines, and be fully present while caring for them. I think that it's important to spend quality time with pets, whether that's going on a walk or spending time at the park. And also just following the pet owner's instructions as well as understanding their routine.

“Gabrielle truly loves and cares for the fur babies. She was very thorough with instructions I had for a prescription food and probiotic regimen, for my cat who just recovered from an illness, and with communication for updates. Would definitely book again and recommend Gabrielle for your pet sitting needs.”
“Jessica took great care of my dogs while we were away! She provided pictures & Information on what the pups did on each drop in. Jessica was also able to provide service for my sisters dogs on the same day & was flexible with our dogs schedules on last minute basis. I will definitely be using Jessicas services in the future!”

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
