“Sarah took such great care of our pups! It means a lot to know you can trust someone to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. Will definitely reach out again for dog sitting when we need it.”
“Eva was wonderful! We had a relatively last minute request and I’m so thankful to have found her! She is incredibly professional, scheduling a FaceTime call ahead of time to ask thoughtful questions to make sure we’re on the same page. During the stay, she was so sweet and took great care of our fur baby. She is also extremely commutative, sharing thorough daily updates and photos. Would definitely recommend her and already looking forward to working with her again!”
“Amanda took excellent care of my beagle guy while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly love animals. I appreciated the regular updates and photos! It gave me real peace of mind. My dog seemed happy, well-exercised, and comfortable when I returned. I would absolutely book them again if I ever travel back to Houston.”
“Gabriel was awesome! From first meet and greet, my dog was his biggest fan. Gabriel always sent updates, was very responsive and accommodating. I look forward to using him in the future!!”
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!
“Madisyn did an awesome job taking care of my pets. She sent me pictures of my pets when I was on vacation, was very attentive to their needs and went above and beyond more than once. I highly recommend booking with her.”
“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: Hello, my name is Susie. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I’ve cared for our pet and family/friends pets while they are away on quick trips or vacation. They rely on me for feeding, waking and keeping their pets busy while they are away. my days are very open while my kids are in school. I have plenty of time in my days to care for your pet and keep them busy thought out the day. Feeding, walking, baths if needed, play time, taking them out to potty as often as they need. Most importantly, keeping them safe and stress free while their family is away.
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. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable cared for and loved while you're away. I treat every pet like my own, paying close attention to their routine, personalities, and needs.
About: I have about seven years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and have raised and cared for multiple dogs from puppyhood. My experience includes feeding, daily walks, potty training and routines, playtime, basic grooming, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. Having raised puppies, I’m also familiar with the extra patience, supervision, and consistency younger dogs need. I’m comfortable caring for both puppies and adult dogs and will follow your dog’s normal routine and care instructions closely so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I’m currently a law student with a flexible weekly schedule. I’m fully available Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, with additional availability throughout the day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. My schedule gives me plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and boarding. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s usual schedule whenever possible to help keep their routine consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. For boarding, I live in a house with a fully fenced backyard and currently have one cat and no dogs in the home. I only board pets from one family at a time so I can provide plenty of individual attention. Dogs staying in my home must be comfortable around cats. For walks and drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, medications, and any other care needs. I’m also happy to provide regular photos and updates while your pet is in my care!
“Camryn is a wonderful sitter and super sweet. I know I don’t have to worry about my dogs or my home when they are in her care, which means the world to me! I feel very blessed to have found a sitter I can trust with my fur children. Thank you, Camryn, for being amazing!”
About: I’ve always had animals in the home. I absolutely adore them and love spending time with them. I have experience giving medications to dogs and specific feeding routines. I do work 8-3:30 most days besides weekends so I can be with the animals a lot and work a consistent schedule that allows me to be with the animals on a certain routine. I have a fenced in yard, with lots of shade. Lots of space in the backyard and inside of the home for the animals to explore.
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.
“Talia and Andrew swooped in to help last minute with our puppy. At only 8 weeks old, our puppy needed more frequent visits and care, and Talia and Andrew went out of their way to provide just that ensuring Oscar got plenty of time out of his crate, time to play, and time to use the facilities. If I am able, I would happily use their services again and Oscar would love the opportunity to see them again!”
“Having never left our 'babies' before with a live-in sitter, I was hesitant. However, from the first interaction Sydney began to put my worries at ease. She asked all of the right questions about them and their habits and while we were away she sent daily updates and pictures. She left our house in perfect order, including a detailed written log of everyday of her stay. I highly recommend her to anyone and plan on using her again for our 'kids'.”
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 loved dogs and have been trusted when watching and caring for them by many. I’ve watched family, friends, and even neighbors dogs and houses, and have always been invited back! I make sure every pet gets the care, attention, exercise, food, and water they need to stay happy and comfortable. I love spending time playing with dogs, going on walks, and keeping them on their normal routine. I’m also comfortable cleaning up messes, crating dogs if needed, and following any specific care instructions from owners. I love playing with dogs and will always make sure they get the correct exercise, water, and food that they need! I don’t have any trouble with cleaning up messes and am very capable of crating your dog if needed!
“Sophia was a huge help watching our dogs for the second time while we were on our honeymoon. Unfortunately, my dog Blue got sprayed by a skunk while we were gone but Sophia made us feel much more at peace. She immediately notified us of the situation, took Blue to the vet, and bathed her. We were very grateful!”
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.

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 2,608 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.

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.
