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.

“Matty did a wonderful job caring for my four dogs. She was punctual, responsible, and stayed for the full amount of time we agreed upon. She communicated very well, sent plenty of photos, videos, and updates, and asked thoughtful questions whenever she needed clarification. I especially appreciated how attentive she was to each dog’s individual needs. She handled separating them responsibly, made sure everyone had access to foo/water, and was calm and patient enough that even my more sensitive dog, Missy, warmed up to her and became affectionate with her. That meant a great deal to me. My dogs clearly liked her, and I felt confident that they were safe and well cared for while I was away. She was thoughtful, reliable, efficient, and genuinely caring. I would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to have her care for my dogs again.”


About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and I’m super comfortable with all kinds of personalities. I’m used to feeding, walking, playing, and keeping dogs calm and happy. I pay attention to what each dog needs and make sure they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. For the safety and comfort of all pets any minors or children will be supervised by me during all rover bookings. Im currently a student in college, so I’ll only be doing this when I am home. However, I have no kob or anything occupying me so I can come home whenever I want on the weekends and I have a really long break coming up. So pretty much all my time is free to be available for your needs. I have a huge backyard and frontyard. They are unfenced but I have 2 dogs myself and they do fine with the area. The neighborhood is really friendly so I take the dogs on walks at least once a day and feed them 2-3 times a day depending on the dog. I have lots of toys the dog(s) can use and play with and I will be there watching the dogs at all times!
About: I’ve have 10 years experience with dogs all sizes and temperaments so if you have just the loving dog who loves everyone or may be a little scared or shy with strangers I am your guy! I am currently working part time, so most days I’ll be available all day. Late nights or early morning and everything in between I will be there. I try my best to make the dog at home as much as possible. Stick with the same morning routine, feeding, walks! Same throughout the day as well!

About: I've cared for animals my entire life and currently have two cats, a snake, and a frog of my own. Beyond caring for my own pets, I have extensive experience caring for dogs of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. My experience includes overnight pet sitting, long walks, administering medications, and caring for pets with special medical needs. I've provided care for dogs with diabetes and seizure disorders, including administering medication and remaining calm and attentive during medical episodes. I'm comfortable cleaning up accidents, following detailed care instructions, and monitoring pets closely for changes in behavior or health. I've cared for dogs in a variety of environments, including homes, parks, public spaces, boats, and around other people and animals. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous or prefers a quiet routine at home, I strive to provide safe, reliable, and loving care that keeps them comfortable and happy while you're away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so they receive the same level of attention and care they're used to at home. I work from home and have the flexibility to set my own schedule, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care throughout the day. Because I am not tied to a traditional office schedule, I can accommodate potty breaks, walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and plenty of companionship. My flexible work routine makes it easy for me to adapt to your pet's specific needs, whether that means extra exercise, midday check-ins, maintaining a consistent routine, or simply providing company for pets who don't enjoy being alone. I understand that pets thrive on consistency and attention, and I make it a priority to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Whether your pet is energetic and active or prefers a quieter day at home, I have the flexibility and availability to provide the level of care and attention they deserve. As a Director of Operations, organization, communication, and reliability are a major part of my professional life, and I bring those same qualities to pet care. I provide care exclusively in my clients' homes, where pets can remain in the environment they know and are most comfortable in. I believe maintaining a pet's normal routine is one of the best ways to reduce stress and help them feel secure while their owners are away. Before each booking, I take the time to learn your pet's schedule, habits, preferences, and any special instructions. Whether that includes walks, feeding schedules, medication, playtime, crate routines, sleeping arrangements, or simply relaxing on the couch, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow all owner instructions, ensure pets are securely contained when needed, monitor their behavior and well-being, and communicate promptly if any concerns arise. I understand that trusting someone with both your pet and your home is a big decision, and I treat both with the same level of respect, responsibility, and care that I would expect for my own. My goal is for your pet to feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you're away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they're in good hands.
“Not only was she super responsive but she was so loving send sent pictures and updates. She went above and beyond and exceeded my expectations as a first experience with Rover. Thank you so much for loving on our Lily!”

About: I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m someone who genuinely cares about the well-being of your furry family members. I make sure every dog receives personalized attention, mental stimulation, and lots of love while you’re away. My goal is to provide a seamless experience so that both you and your dog feel at ease. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I structure my day around meeting the needs of the pets in my care, ensuring they receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection. Whether it's daily walks, feeding, or playtime, I prioritize these activities to keep pets happy and healthy. My weekly schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate each pet's unique needs and provide reliable, loving care. In my home, I provide a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment for pets. I ensure they have a designated space with their cozy bedding, toys, and access to a secure outdoor area for exercise and play. I maintain a consistent routine that includes regular feeding times, walks, and plenty of attention to keep pets happy and relaxed. My home is a calm and welcoming space where pets can feel at ease, making them feel like they’re part of the family during their stay.
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and currently have two pit bulls named Widow and Daisy, so I’m comfortable caring for big animals. Taking care of them has taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and paying attention to each pet’s personality and needs. I’m an 18-year-old starting college this summer. I currently work part-time and would love to spend my free time caring for your pets—it’s honestly the best way to spend it! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. I follow your routine closely with feeding, walks, and lots of love (maybe a little extra lol). I keep a clean, safe environment and respect your home like it’s my own. I even built one of my own enclosure for my pet, so I know how important proper care and safety is. 🐾

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - La Porte
Jordyn was so helpful when we needed her short notice for a holiday stay at our house with our 2 year old lab. She sent us lots of great pictures of our dog and made sure he was well stimulated. She also took great care of our house which was nice to come home to after our trip. We’d love to have her dog sit again!

FAQs for House Sitting - La Porte
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in La Porte on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,609 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across La Porte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred La Porte walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in La Porte maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
