About: Hi! I'm a dedicated and experienced pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all kinds. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would give my own. Whether it's daily walks, overnight stays, drop-in visits, or caring for senior pets and those with special needs, my priority is making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I take the time to learn each pet's unique personality, routine, and preferences, helping reduce stress and keep life as normal as possible. I'm dependable, attentive, and committed to providing regular updates with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. Building trust with both pets and their people is what I value most, and I look forward to creating a positive experience for you and your beloved companion. I am currently self employed and my schedule is pretty flexible so I can accommodate your pets needs most days/ times. I am also available for overnight stays if needed. I am happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their home. I am also available for overnight stays if needed as well
“Riley was amazing with our pups, Barack and Oliver! It’s not always easy finding someone who can handle both of their personalities—Barack’s a bit stubborn and Oliver is more of a chill guy—but Riley totally got them. We got cute updates and pics while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Definitely booking again—highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of a bunch of different pets over the course of 5 years. I have cared for and played with many animals ranging from lizards to bunnies to cats and dogs. I have babysat many furry babies including ones with special care like health problems or seniors. I currently work at the foothills mall about 6 hours a week so I’m free pretty much all the time. I do have one more year of school so during the school year I’m slightly busier. I have had dogs come to my house before for babysitting but I have a very nervous dog at home and I'd prefer not to.
About: I got my first puppers when I was 9 years old and when I turned 10 I was able to help out at the local shelters. It has never made me feel more in love with dogs and want to help them. I love walking, talking, and just having dogs in my presence. Dogs are one of a kind and each one is unique and I love it. They’re cuddly, cute, and fantastic. I can guarantee that your dog will have my 100% attention while with me. I have trained dogs in the past, the simple things. Sit, lay, roll over, hug (my favorite) and fetch. I absolutely adore animals and can not wait to get to meet to play, feed, and love on your pet the best I can while you’re gone at work or even for a little getaway!
About: Throughout my childhood, I grew up with dogs. While I do not currently have a dog, I take care of my parents’ dog and three cats when they are out of town. I am also a cat mom to a lil kitten named Merlin. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets! Whether it’s taking them on walks, feeding them, or just hanging out with them while you are gone. I love animals so much, I decided to get a degree in the conservation of them! I am currently in between jobs meaning that I can care for your pets anytime! Whether you need me weekdays, weekends or even if you are going on a trip, I am very flexible! While I am not comfortable hosting pets in my home at this time with a kitten, I am more than happy to walk dogs, do day visits or pet sitting while you are gone on a trip.
“I missed a flight in Chicago and was stuck at O’Hare all day before heading back to Denver. Leta was able to care for Luka even while working at her other job. Leta thank you for caring for Luka at the last minute.”
“Kelly is our go-to pet sitter. Our cats always are well taken care of and are happy when we get back. We have a kitten and a senior cat with past medical issues and Kelly experience gives us peace of mind while we’re away.”
“Scarlet is a cat whisperer! Our cats are normally very shy and hide in closets for extended periods when visitors come by. Scarlet had them out and literally eating from her hand in just a day or two. They looked quite content with her as a sitter. Definitely recommend!”
About: I have cared for a litter of puppies, adolescent, adult, pregnant and senior dogs. I am experienced at administering medication, exercise and lots of love I am currently searching for a full time job, so I have a very open schedule should you need pet care any time of the day and or overnight. I provide care in your own home so that your pets can be comfortable in their home environment while you’re away. I also administer medication
“We trusted Nick to watch our fur-baby the same day he had his doggy ACL repair surgery. He was so caring and gentle with our dog and it couldn’t have gone better. He’s just an amazing human with a special connection to dogs. You will not be disappointed with Nick.”
“Leesa was amazing. We have 3 dogs: A puppy, a 15 yr old and a blind one. She did an amazing job and dealt with a couple of stressful situations without issue. She really went above and beyond! Our dogs were well taken care of and very spoiled. We definitely recommend Leesa and will have her take care of our dogs again!”
About: I've dog sat for the past few years, mostly for family and occasionally neighbors, caring for dogs and other animals with patience, responsibility, and genuine love for animals. I'm currently enrolled in Colorado State Univeristy. I have friday's off but classes monday-thursday with gaps between classes. Can share schedule if needed. I make sure every pet feels safe and comfortable, whether at home or a client's. Following their routine, giving attention, exercise, and love just like family.
About: I am an experienced dog walker, boatder and sitter. I am a dog lover and pet parent since my childhood on a ranch. I have never been without a dog. My dogs are a part of my family. I work from home, so your dog will have almost constant companionship. I free feed my dogs but can accommodate other schedules or feeding styles. I have a good sized dog door that most dogs can fit through and a large yard. The dogs are welcome to go out any time they need. Plus my dogs will always be good company for any visiting dogs.
About: I’m a lifelong animal caregiver with over five and a half years of experience working in veterinary hospitals, where I worked in daycare, boarding, and front desk operations. My role gave me daily exposure to pets with all kinds of medical needs, behavior challenges, and special routines, and it taught me how to recognize emergencies, communicate clearly with owners, and keep pets safe and comfortable. While most of my vet‑hospital work was front desk and care coordination, I’ve gained extensive hands‑on experience at home caring for my own pets and pets I’ve sat for. This includes oral medications, injectable insulin for diabetic cats, fluid administration for senior cats, and monitoring pets with chronic conditions. My own cat recently lived to 20 and required daily special care, so I understand how important gentle, consistent medical routines are. I also worked in Physical Therapy, assisting the therapist, helping pets with mobility exercises, stretches, strengthening routines, and comfort‑focused handling. I’m familiar with braces, wheelchairs, and supportive devices, and I’m comfortable helping pets maintain the training or therapeutic exercises they’re already working on (including basic puppy training). I’m especially good with shy, scared, or anxious animals. I’ve always had a calm presence that helps nervous pets warm up quickly, and I take the time to understand each animal’s comfort level and communication style. Beyond dogs and cats, I have extensive multi‑species experience: • Pocket pets (guinea pigs, ferrets, hamsters, rats) • Reptiles (snakes, lizards, frogs) • Birds (large parrots to small finches) • Aquatic pets (frogs, fish, aquarium care) I’ve personally had dogs my entire life and cats since I was 10, and I’m comfortable with everything from puppies and kittens to very large dogs and fragile seniors. I’m also unfazed by the messy realities of pet care — litter boxes, accidents, vomit, picking up poop, mud, grooming cleanup, bathing, and nail trims (preferably with my dremel). Whether your pet needs gentle companionship, structured exercise, continued training, mobility support, or medical‑routine consistency, I provide calm, reliable, and detail‑oriented care. I send thorough updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I'm available most days, including weekends. Late night bookings are welcome. I'm only available for Early mornings on rare occasions. This is my primary job, so my availability is rather open. I currently have 2 older dogs, a young cat, and a snake. Both of my dogs are given oral medications daily and have fish oil added to their evening meals. One of my dogs is a very picky eater, so all of his meals involve mixing wet and dry food. I also recently lost a 20 year old cat who required daily oral medications, a special type of kitty litter, and injectable subcutaneous fluids routinely. I also regularly care for a diabetic cat who requires injectable insulin at specific times every morning and evening. My snake usually gets fed frozen mice (that have been warned up).

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Laporte
Madeline was the best pet sitter! She was so easy to work with prior to our trip. We used the drop-in option for our dog. We received so much information with each drop-in visit including so many pictures! We were able to easily adjust the schedule while on our trip. Madeline took our dog on walks and a few runs. If she noticed anything at home (our trash bin was still at the street), she checked in with us and then took care of it. We will definitely be using Madeline again with our future pet visits!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Laporte is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 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 2,216 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Laporte. 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 Laporte 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 Laporte with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
