“A good sign of having a great petsitter is when my dogs looked at me like they knew me but not from where. 😆 Next time I book with Rover I will book Adrienne C. She's wonderful! I had full confidence in her. Thanks Adrienne ❤️”
“We had a wonderful experience with Autumn watching our dog, Bandit. We came home to a clean & tidy place plus one happy pup. We appreciated receiving pictures, reassuring that bandit was having a great time and looked content. We would absolutely recommend Autumn’s services and look forward to booking again in the future!”
“Kaylin took care of our big fluffy guy for a long weekend and we couldn’t have been happier! Leo was exercised to the fullest every day and we loved all the picture updates :) our home was in perfect condition when we came home. We will definitely be using Kaylin again in the future!”
“Emily was wonderful! Our dog has lots of little quirks and can require lots of energy from a dog sitter. Emily did great with him. We’re so grateful to have found someone that can cater to his needs and stay in our home. Would absolutely recommend Emily!”
“Absolutely — here’s a warm, genuine review that hits all of that: I had a great experience with Naomi watching my dogs and taking care of my home while I was away for work. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire time, which gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing everything was being taken care of. I came home to a clean house, happy dogs, and she even left a thoughtful little gift, which was such a nice surprise. You can tell she genuinely cares and takes pride in what she does. I’m extremely grateful for how well she took care of everything and would absolutely trust and recommend Naomi to anyone looking for someone dependable, thoughtful, and trustworthy. Thank you again, Naomi!”
“Hilda was fantastic with our dogs while we were away. Great communication and the pups had a great time. House was immaculate when we returned. We truly appreciated her caring for our dogs and would highly recommend her - thanks Hilda!”
“Katherine is exceptional. Her communication is outstanding and it is clear she respects animals. She was great with my senior lab and very flexible with my booking. I recommend you book with her.”
“Ava did a great job with our high anxiety girl! And we had a minor issue that arose which she was able to handle without any disruption to our plans, and gave me great updates throughout her stay. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah is excellent! She took great care of my dog and cats while I was away, and I came home to a very happy crew of animals. Communication and photos were great. Will definitely hire her again and highly recommend!!!”
“Talia was excellent from start to finish. Prompt, friendly, responsive, sent pics of my dog during her visit, & dog clearly adored her. I came back to the house in the same condition I had left it in. It was the exact experience I was hoping for.”
“Tyler was amazing taking care of our pets. We did in home overnight service for our 2 dogs. Everything was perfect. We got updates everyday. One of our pets got sick and she handled it with instant notification to us and updates on the process. If i could rate her 6 stars I would. If you need to have her take care of your pet/s you will not be dissapointed. We will obviously be getting her services again. Overall is perfection. Thank you Tyler!!”
“Karina did a great job with taking care of my puppy. She provided pictures and updates throughout the day. George had a great time and was sad when his new friend had to leave!”
About: I am a lifelong pet lover having grown up with dogs, horses, and a variety of other critters! I've had two of my own dogs for about the last 10 years and they've taught me a ton about relationships, love, and (arguably most importantly) patience. Over the years I've been trusted to care for my family, neighbors, and friends' pets by way of pet-sitting, transportation, exercise, and play dates! Most of my experience is with dogs, but I do have some familiarity with kitties' needs as well. I have experience in both balanced and positive-reinforcement training and strongly prefer the latter. I'm happy to provide limited services in behavioral training, and even help teach your pup some new fun tricks! I am also happy to work with pets that have special needs or senior pets. I'll make sure they feel loved and that your pet gets the intellectual or physical attention they need! I work from home full-time, which means I have relatively high flexibility! I can work drop-ins and walks into any day of the week as long as I know a few days ahead of time. I fully respect all rules and boundaries of your home and make the comfort and safety of your pet a priority. On walks, I'll never take your pet somewhere you or they wouldn't feel safe. I generally avoid off-leash areas and dog parks.
“Baileigh is amazing! She took care of my 3 GSPs for the weekend and stayed in our home. She communicates frequently, promptly and is totally reliable. I didn’t need to worry at all and felt confident my dogs were in great hands. 10 out of 10!”
“Julianne was a wonderful and reliable pet sitter. Communicated with us well throughout the whole trip and kept our home spotless! Spent lots of quality time with our pets and helped keep us at ease throughout our trip.”
“Amy stayed overnight at our house with our dogs and cats for a few days. We came home to happy animals and a clean house! She was communicative and sent pictures and updates. We will absolutely book with her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Laporte is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laporte
As usual, I was apprehensive about leaving my pups for a week. It went very well, even with our rescue, which can be challenging. We got pictures every day that eased my worries. Adrienne was thoughtful enough to realize how tired we would be on our return. She made everything much easier for us when we got home. Pups were so glad to see us with no anxiety or issues. We hope she will accept us the next time we need a sitter.
Audrey was perfect! Super kind and easy to talk to at the meet and greet. Both my dog and cat loved her and she sent lots of picture and updates. She communicates well and quickly. I absolutely plan to reach out to her again when I need a pet sitter, and would encourage anyone else to do the same!!
Stacy was amazing! She stayed at our place and watched our small new kitten along with our dog. We were nervous to leave the kitten, but Stacy was so attentive and gave us updates and photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She’s a gem of a person!
From the first time we met Delia, we knew she would be a good fit for our zoo (including our anxious dog)! This was our first time leaving our dog with a stranger and Delia made us feel super comfortable! She sent lots of updates and communicated with us throughout the trip. I would absolutely recommend booking with her!
Grace was very sweet and very responsive. She was very clear with her plans and made sure they would work well for our furbabies. Our animals were definitely well cared for and our house was also very clean when we arrived home. Will definitely use Grace in the future.
Paulina took care of all four of my animals (3 dogs, 1 cat) while I was away for the weekend. One of my dogs had developed a rash that got worse while I was away, and she monitored it and kept me updated the whole time so I could address it when I got home. My pup is feeling much better now because of her. She's amazing!
We were very pleased with Ashlyn, our house/dog sitter. When she met with us, she asked lots of questions and took notes. Our dog Fred obviously took to her right away even though he is wary of strangers. Although he was excited to see us return, he was sad to see Ashlyn leave. And she left our house much cleaner than it was when we left! We would definitely recommend her!

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 Laporte 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 Laporte 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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!
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 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 .
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.
