About: I have been around and taken care of family dogs since I was younger. I have always been an animal lover! My whole family has at least one dog and I have an 11 year old yorkie myself! I am good with all types of dogs from big dogs to little dogs! I am currently unemployed so I have a lot of free time to take care and play with your fur babies at any time on any day. I do live in an apartment that is gated around and has a very nice and big dog park. I also have a yorkie who is 11 years old and just loves to sleep and cuddle.
“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. When we’ve had to suddenly change our booking she is always very understanding and does whatever she can to help. We recommend her highly and will continue to book her!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets all my life, and I’ve always had a way with animals, they always seem to gravitate towards me. I love taking care of people and animals, I want to be a doctor. I’m good at comforting shy/anxious animals, and I can be a great playmate for the adventurous type. I’m currently on summer break, so I have almost everyday completely free. I’m going on a cruise in early July, and then I begin moving into college mid August. I can be very quiet and calm, I am able to sit with pets and/or crate them. I’m happy to play with pets and keep them entertained as well.
“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 had a variety of pets from dogs to chameleons to hedgehogs. I would love to care for your pets on my free time and treat them as my own! I am a full-time stay at home mom so I am completely free to attend to your fur baby at all hours of the day. I will be sure to treat every pet as my own and care for them with the same standards you, the owner, cares for them.
“I can’t say enough good things about Talia and Andrew! They took such wonderful care of our dogs, Piper and Bailey, while we were out of town. When we did the meet and greet, it was clear our pups would be in loving hands. Talia and Andrew have a warm and welcoming home, and their two dogs, Gigi and Kya, were the perfect playmates for Piper and Bailey. It was heartwarming to see them all get along so well! They even picked up and dropped Piper and Bailey off at our house, which made the whole process incredibly convenient. We use Talia and Andrew for drop-in visits four days a week while we’re at work, and they are our regular sitters. We truly love them! They always make sure the dogs have plenty of exercise and playtime, and they send us regular updates and photos, which eases our minds while we’re away. They also have two cats, Binx and Sophie. Binx has no problem with dogs, and since I have a cat at home, it was great to know that Piper, who loves to play with cats, felt comfortable around them. The whole household feels like a happy, loving environment, and it’s clear that Talia and Andrew genuinely care for all their animals. When we returned from our trip, Piper and Bailey were happy and relaxed, which spoke volumes about their experience. I highly recommend Talia and Andrew for anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog sitter. We will definitely continue booking with them! Thank you, Talia and Andrew, for being such amazing caretakers for our furry family!”
About: We have all types of toys from plush toys to Kong toys and treats. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. Our 2 year old dog is KCG trained so we’re patient and we can even help with continuing training. From sit, down, stay, and shake. I love taking our dogs on a walk and giving them lots of attention. From them sitting next to us to playing. We believe in fun, while training. Giving them a fun and encouraging way to keep their mind stimulated while also playing and giving them love that dogs need. We have a ton of toys as well as mind stimulating toys to keep them busy and entertained until you come pick them back up. 15+ years experience I currently work full time but it is work from home. So I’m pretty flexible with taking care of your fur babies by taking them on walks. I give them attention they want but also am cool with giving them alone time. We have a pretty decent size home with many different rooms so they can be alone if they want.
“Fantastic experience! Zoe was communicative, reliable, and took excellent care of Stella,Copper, & Millie. Our dogs were happy and relaxed during the visit. We greatly appreciated her time! I highly recommend booking with her!☺️”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds for several years. Friends and family regularly rely on me to feed, walk, play with, and look after their pets. I am highly responsible, energetic, and dedicated to making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you are away. Whether they need a long walk or some cozy couch cuddles, I’ve got it covered! I am currently a student with classes only on Mondays and Wednesdays. Aside from my Sunday night assignment deadlines, my schedule is incredibly open and flexible. This gives me plenty of dedicated time throughout the week and weekends to fully focus on, walk, and play with your beloved pups! I specialize in caring for pets directly in the comfort of your own home, where they feel most safe and secure. While I do have a fully fenced backyard and can crate dogs if absolutely necessary, I prefer traveling to your house to maintain your dog's regular routine, environment, and peace of mind.
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.
“Communication was amazing. Asked lots of questions to get to know our dogs and did a great job giving one of them their medicine. Went above and beyond when we had a slight timing conflict to make sure our dogs were taken care of. Definitely recommend!”

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: Hi! I’ve had dogs of all sizes since I was a tiny tot. I have experience with crate training, potty training, and overall skills training. I’m currently in grad school, but the semester is coming to an end, so I’ll have plenty of time over the summer to care for your pup. I keep treats on deck and will make sure that your pup feels safe with me. Building trust is my number one priority and I want to make sure that not only you, but your beloved pup can trust me as well.
About: I have had 3 pups in my life, and had a roommate with 2 cats over the last year. I take care of my friends’ pets regularly, and am used to specialized routines for pets with unique needs.

My schedule is much more open on the weekend! Happy to work with you to find the best schedule for your pet. I have taken care of pets in fenced and non-enclosed areas, and I have had dogs that are both crate trained and not. Whatever will be best for your pup is what will be best for me!

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. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
