“Mattisen has been a wonderful dog sitter for my dog Rose. She visits during the day to let her out and spends time with her while I’m at work. Mattisen has been very communicative during her visits and I have felt very secure leaving Rose in her company while I’m not there.”

“Savanna was great! I have a reactive dog & diabetic cat so it always makes me nervous going out of town. my dog really enjoyed her company and my kitty got his shots! will have her come back again!”

“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!”

“Emily had great communication while we were gone and took the time to come by and meet our pups before we left. They were very comfortable with her very quickly. She even did a nail trim while we were gone which one of our dogs can make challenging to do by yourself. We’ll be rebooking Emily in the future”

“Victoria is the literal BEST! My dogs have trust issues and often refuse to go to the bathroom with anyone other than me. She was able to get them to go to the bathroom by showing such patience. When she sent me pictures of my fur babies it felt like they may actually like her more than me 😂 thanks Victoria for taking away the stress of trusting someone to take care of them when I was gone. 10:10 recommend!”

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.

About: Pets have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. From hamsters and fish to cats and dogs, I’ve always had the joy of caring for animals, and I’ve loved every minute of it. Over the years, I’ve also rescued several pets of my own, which has made my love and appreciation for animals even stronger. When you’re away, I want your pets to feel just as safe, loved, and comfortable as they do at home. I offer pet walks, daily drop-ins, overnight sitting, and boarding, and I’m happy to work with whatever routine and care style makes your pet happiest. I’m also comfortable administering medications when needed, and I’m currently in school pursuing a career in healthcare. My schedule allows me to be available pretty much every day, giving me plenty of flexibility to give your pets the time, attention, and love they deserve. Your pets are family, and I’ll treat them like they’re my own! I am currently a student pursuing a degree in healthcare so I will be available most days as I am attending a local college. I am happy to do multiple daily drops-ins, daily walks, and weekend overnight sittings. I live on the first floor of my apartment complex that have multiple dog parks within it. It is a pet friendly community with plenty of walking trails all around the area. I recently lost my dog from old age, so my apartment is ready to host your babies!
About: My respect and love for animals was introduced early. I'm the daughter of a veterinarian and have cared for animals most of my life. Our animals are family. I look forward to becoming an extension of care and friend to your pups. I currently work from home which provides me freedom to flex my time. I adore animals and so spending time with them does not feel like work. Let me know your pet needs and we will get the ball rolling. I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I look forward to meeting you and your pets to establish familiarity and trust. I ask questions and listen to better serve the needs of your pet on the daily and long term. Whether your dog is carefree, requires lots of exercise, emotional reassurance, or requires daily medical needs - I am fully capable to take care of your fur baby. Each home and pet are unique so communication and updates with pictures mean a lot to me. I care and it shows. Note: I am comfortable administering medicine orally or via needle per diabetic needs, etc

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: Always had a dog in the house since I was a kid and been around them all my life from the smallest dog to the largest being a Great Dane, I have patients for dogs and the knowledge especially being someone new to them to handle them with care. Working full time but looking for extra activities in the evening and this would be perfect especially wanting to get more exercise and seeing new animals is a plus! I have three cats and a small dog in a two story apartment, they eat twice a day and spend time with my wife and son at home, but caring for pets in other people’s home I know is uncomfortable sometimes so I would treat even home visit with the same respect I’d want for my home and treat your pets with more care

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.

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: Hi! I’m Elle, a professional hairstylist and lifelong dog lover based in the Houston area. Caring for others—whether it’s people or pets—is what I truly enjoy. I'm a professional hairstylist running My Salon in the Heights. I have flexible hours and wanted to utilize my extra time in a more meaningful way.

About: I’m a dog trainer with 5 years of professional experience dog training, but almost 10 years caring for dogs. I started out working at a boarding facility when I was 18 and was training by 20. I’m an AKC Evaluator for Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dogs International, and I can teach Star Puppy Classes. I’m double majoring in Chemistry and Biology at UHCL, so I’m not training at any facility. I miss dogs and training so I’m looking for a little side action to scratch my itch. It’s my passion. I’m more interested in training your dogs than I am boarding them, but I’d still enjoy dog walking and house sitting for you and your pooches. I can handle the “bad” dogs that some of the other Rover people might not enjoy taking care of.
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
“Kelly had been wonderful! She first kept my sick kittie who needed daily sub-q injections and extra attention while recovering from an illness. Kelly has the perfect home setup for your fur babies, plus excellent vet tech skills. She then made home visits for over a week to take care of my entire “herd” while I was on vacation. I bet they all miss Kelly! Everything was taken care of perfectly and the daily visit check-ins and pics were great.”

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 .

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.
