“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.
“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.”
“Our puppy Princess Leia had the best day thanks to you! Thank you for loving on her, playing with her, and making sure she didn’t feel lonely while we were gone. Couldn’t ask for better caretakers!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was in middle school. I’ve cared for several dogs at once and have loved on dogs from ages 2 to 12 years old (plus my own dogs from their first til their last days on earth). I love learning about each pup’s personality and quirks. They’re each so special I’m currently working full time but have availability during the day for check-ins. I also am available in the evenings and on the weekends. I currently do not have space to host pets in my home, but I plan to care for client’s pets the same way I care for my own. I give lots of cuddles, playtime, and attention to the pups I care for (adjusting accordingly for the personality of the dog). I own a German Shepherd, so I’m very accustomed to large dog breeds that require a lot of love and attention.
“Devon is the greatest! He is friendly, dependable, and has a very high level of care for my trio of pups! I had to alter the details (changed time slightly) and he was very accommodating. I trust him fully. A+++ we will look forward to the next visit in the future.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I could remember. Growing up we have always had dogs and it was my responsibility to take care of them. Neighbors and friends would always come to me to dog sit for them. I enjoy making a dog’s life more enjoyable for them. I know with busy working parents it’s hard owning animals to keep them entertained. It makes my heart full knowing that I’m benefiting the pets life by providing exercise and mental stimulation I work from 6:30 to 3 Monday through Friday. After work I like to get a walk in everyday. It makes it feel like a more productive walk when I have a dog with me because I know I’m giving that dog exercise and mental stimulation. My dog and cat go on tons of adventures with us. We love to hike. If I’m watching your animal in house I will make sure I’m creating a safe and calm place in their home making sure they are not lonely or bored.
“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!”
“Angie was amazing with both my cats and dogs! Super easy to communicate with, kept me updated, and sent the cutest photos while I was away. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in good hands. I’d definitely book with her again!”
“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’ve taken care of my neighbors cat and birds, I have many reptiles and Dogs and a cat myself. I know how to care for chickens and would love to help out any way I can! I am a free availability for your furry friend! Please let me know any information you need and ask me any questions! Thank you! have a great day! I will take care of people’s homes when they ask, and if you need me to walk a pet I will make sure they are always safe and my first priority.
“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.”
“We had a great experience with Jordyn! She was punctual, caring, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She kept us regularly updated with messages and photos, which we really appreciated. It was clear that our dog was in good hands and received plenty of love and attention. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter!”
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.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in La Porte on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 4,149 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across La Porte. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
