“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”
“Jazlynn was absolutely amazing. I opted for the drop-in visits. She stopped by the house twice a day and took care of my 160 Cane Corso. She was punctual and communication was exceptional. Well done ma’am.”
About: I have taken care of my own 6 year old Yorkie for the past 6 years and I have had many dogs in my childhood as well that I have looked after. I am taking a break from traditional work and love animals so I have plenty to time to dedicate to taking care of your pets ! I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space to play as well as my own 6 year old Yorkie who loves to make new friends .
About: I have grown up with pets my whole life. There never was a time in the house where we didn’t have a pet. I have experience with puppies up into elder age. I have a few families pets that I look after occasionally as well. Big dogs, small dogs, silly dogs, i love them all! I am also in the process of volunteering at my local no kill shelter to care for the pups and give them some extra lovin. I am currently in college part time Tues/Thurs from 3-5 while also balancing a part time job Wed/Fri from 8-4 Weekends and my off days are pretty flexible Personally I do not house pets in my home, however in others homes I go by the personalized instructions the owners specifically give and a little extra loving!
“Hannah took great care of our cats. She provided pictures and comments for the visits and was very responsive in our communications. Definitely would recommend as a sitter and will consider using her services again.”
About: I have always had animals growing up. Raising cats to be 17 years old, and currently raising my 9 month old boxer which is very fun and rewarding. I work part time so I will have plenty of time to check in on your fur babies or let them stay with me and give them all of the attention If you board with me I have a big crate that my dog does not use but I’m more than willing to let your animals roam free. I do live in an apartment but I take MANY trips outside to the walking track and dog park. I spent most of my time outside making sure my own puppy gets plenty of her energy out.
“Jeff was phenomenal with my three elderly dogs. He followed my instructions perfectly and made sure I knew how they were doing each day. I completely trust him in my home and with my precious babies. Highly recommend and will be using again.”
“Outstanding ! Communication is Great ! Multitasking 3 big fur babies , Maddie does a great job . Always makes us feel comfortable when we are away from our fur babies. I am so glad I have found her. :)”
About: Need an extra dog mom? I'm your gal! With over 12 years of experience watching over others animals, I've done and seen almost all of it. (Though, there are some things that still surprise me every now and again!) Big or small, I've cared for them all! I do drop in visits, walking, baths, nail trims, and in home boarding for dogs 50lbs or less. Not that I don't love gentle giants, they just take up a lot of space! I also have two sisters who are vet techs so if I need them for any reason they are on stand by. Anyways, if you're in need of an extra hand during the day or an overnight stay, please reach out! I'm home all day every day so my schedule is pretty open. If I'm doing drop in visits I prefer going around noon but if I need too, i will make exceptions and go earlier or later depending on what my pet parents need. When doing overnight boarding I make sure everyone is fed, watered, and comfortable. For dogs, I make sure they have plenty of opportunities to go on walks and go potty. I have a fenced in yard where they can roam freely for outside time (supervised of course) When doing inhome visits, I pretty much implement the same care making sure to follow instructions left by the pet parents if applicable.
“Chi was great! Friendly, responsive and really supportive of the extra needs and concerns for my elderly cats. She definitely went the extra mile to make me feel comfortable while I was away from them. I would have her sit for me again and highly recommend her!”
About: Have been a pet mama to many animals from cats, dogs all the way to rabbits, goats, and a flying squirrel. Have helped at shelters with the Foster program for many year's. I work from home only on weekdays part time so have plenty of free time to get your pet extra loving and care that they deserve. When coming into your home I will respect all rules and information given regarding care towards your animal. I am very aware of food allergies, pet disability or medication.
About: As someone who has cared for animals since childhood, I’ve gained extensive experience. I’ve assisted in a family member’s animal care business, provided pet care services to neighbors, and even tended to stray animals. Additionally, I’m skilled in pet grooming, including bathing, brushing, and nail trimming. References are available upon request.” Feel free to adjust this to fit your unique experiences! I’m available almost everyday I’m willing to do pet sit and walk your pet I’m also willing to stay nights to help take care of your pet I walk my own animals I groom them clip there nails and such I take them to the vet if needed and I make sure they are healthy
“Emma was able to care for my two cats with twice daily drop in visits while I was gone. Very communicative and gave lots of photo updates. No issues were had and she was very sweet to bring in a package at the door for us. Will use Emma again for our next trip out! Thanks again!”
About: What sets me apart is that I’ve grown up around animals my whole life. My mom worked in a veterinary office, so I was fortunate to learn from an early age how to properly care for and understand different pets. I also have experience training puppies and understand the patience, consistency, and attention they need. I’m dependable, caring, and will treat every pet like they’re part of my own family! 🐾 I’m currently in college and have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8 AM–3 PM. I also work part-time with a flexible, changing schedule, which leaves me with plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care. I’m able to work around my schedule and prioritize making sure pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they need. I have a sweet, spoiled dog of my own who goes almost everywhere with me and absolutely loves meeting and playing with other dogs! I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of grass where pets can safely play, explore, and get some fresh air. I’ll make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and cared for, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. 🐾

So pet care is just part of my everyday amyway I have a large fenced in yard, as well as a 3000sq ft home with plenty of rooms and space if your pet wants open areas, plenty of space if they need space.

About: I will treat your dog like my child, with the utmost care and attention. I have a 1.5 year old Englisj labrador and he is my world. Dogs are members of the family and so i give them my undivided attention and utmost respect, oh and tons of hugs and kisses!

Im currently working as a stay at home mom for my 1 year old daughter so I will be ready to provide you fur babies with the care and attention they need! My current 1.5 year old labrador has alot of energy so i start his day with a long walk or break it up into a few walks a day. We do go outside often for water and play breaks but will limit under ten minutes when its too hot in this texas heat or we will go out at cooler times of the day.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in La Porte is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $37 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,000 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across La Porte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
