“Hannah is the sweetest dog sitter and we will DEFINITELY reach out to have her sit the dogs anytime we have to leave them. She is thorough and very detailed with her check-ins. She responds fast and is overall just an amazing human being. Thank you Hannah! 🩷”
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.

She came over a couple times prior to us leaving to meet the dogs and kept us updated the entire time we were away.

About: I've met nearly any kind of dog and cat you can imagine, with personalities and needs of all sorts. My family has always relied on me to take care of and tend to many of their pets. What makes them so inclined to choose me comes from my extensive knowledge and expertise on animal health and body language. Every pet has something to say, and I always do my best to make an animal feel safe, seen, and understood. Animal behavior (more specifically dogs and cats) is one of my special interests, so I am always learning new ways to understand and bond with furry friends. You can always count on me to give your pet the absolute happiest and comforting experience that I can offer, no matter their circumstances—I've even tended to partially-paralyzed pets, so no matter the situation, I will always put your pet first and make sure they know I'm there to help. Pet care will fit into my weekly routine wherever possible! I've got all sorts of time on my hands, so I will always be available to tend to your fur baby! I currently have 2 cats that get along quite well. They are offered several scratching posts and cat trees, alongside many toys and exclusive playtime for enrichment. I've grown up with several dogs as well, so I'll always know exactly how to make your pet feel comfortable and at home!
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.
“We were very hesitant to leave our little guy with anyone we did not know. However, Kelly made us feel comfortable from the very beginning. She sent photos during her drop-ins with updates, and was always available if I had a question. We will not be using anyone else to watch our guy.”
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.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in La Porte. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
