“Adrienne did a fabulous job with my dog and cat! She stayed with them at my place for almost a week and I came home to two very happy creatures. She sent lots of pictures and I didn’t have to worry at all! I would 100% book with her again!”
“Kaylin was great!! She was extremely flexible when we had to unexpectedly extend our vacation by a day. She sent pics of our pups and always answered quickly any time I messaged her. I would highly recommend her to anyone!😁”
“We had an excellent experience with Katherine! She was punctual, responsive, and provided frequent updates. She was very attentive to our dog and went above and beyond. We highly reccomend her!”
“Karina is the best pet sitter! Our dogs love her and I feel at ease on vacation knowing she is there. She is very prompt at answering my texts, and always sends daily pictures.”
“Chloe was incredible. She stayed the weekend with our 8 month doodle and she cared for our pup so well. Communication was a breeze and she left our home absolutely spotless. I would HIGHLY recommend Chloe to anyone.”
“Olivia was very easy to work with and I came home to a very happy dog! She took great care of my place while I was away and Mecca seemed to be very content and well cared for. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Talia did such an amazing job taking care of my beautiful dog Phoenix and my sweet little cat Sadie while I was on vacation in Michigan with my family. Phoenix got lots of exercise and hiking adventures and Sadie got lots of love. Talia was very communicative with me and sent photos of my sweet pets regularly, and my home was spotless when I returned. Would definitely ask Talia to watch my pets again. Five stars! Can’t recommend her highly enough.”
“Our dog is so well cared for and content with Samuel. He was a house sitter for us for numerous days and things went great. Received photos at the end of the day and even a video update. Thanks so much!”
“Aaron was an absolutely STELLAR friend to our animals for what was actually quite a hectic time in our lives. Between a recent move, starting new jobs, getting married in 7 days - she was an excellent communicator, retained information about our pups and their routine like a pro, and even left our home better than she found it. My (very large, young, high energy, anxious) dogs have been through a lot of transitions in the past couple of months and when we came home they were more relaxed, happier than I’ve ever seen them after a weekend away. HIRE HER NOW!!!”
About: I am a compassionate animal caretaker and have worked with a variety of four-legged friends! I believe that a pet is family and deserves the best care possible. I have two dogs at home, and work with animal care professionally. I have about a decade of experience now working with domestic animal shelters, wildlife rehabilitation, and captive wildlife. I am Fear Free Certified which simply means I am equipped to put animal welfare above all else. I love to engage animals and I believe offering enough mental and physical stimulation is key for a healthy pet. I am a detail oriented and caring person, and I show the same love to your pets as my own! I prefer to provide care in the home the animal is already comfortable with and am happy to commute within Fort Collins or nearby. I am very open to working with any special requests you might have. I can provide medications and training as instructed. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your animal family! I will give your pets enrichment, playtime, medications, meals, or exercise as needed. I will meet with you prior to providing pet care to discuss the specific needs for your pet! I generally prefer to offer services in the client/pet's home where the animal is already comfortable. I can provide meals, potty breaks, reinforce ongoing training efforts, and offer enrichment/stimulation and playtime. We will meet and discuss the specific needs for your pet prior to beginning care!
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, they truly are the joy in the world for me. I have naturally connected with animals from a young age, and that bond shows in how I care for them. I am especially calm and patient with anxious or shy pets, and I take the time to understand their needs and make them feel safe. Caring for animals doesn’t feel like work to me. It’s something that brings me genuine happiness every day. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be top priority. Looking after animals is a meaningful part of my weekly routine. I’m available on weekdays and enjoy making sure pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I prioritize their comfort and enjoy building trust with each pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and keeping their routine to minimize stress. I follow all instructions, from feeding and meds to playtime and house rules. I treat every home with care and respect. I also provide regular updates with photos, so pet parents feel connected and confident their pet is safe and well-loved.
“Anna was so amazing! My animals were sooo cared for while I was away. She sent me photos everyday and was great with communication. She listened to all the instructions for caring for my animals and my home. She is so fun and clearly my animals enjoyed having her stay with them. I definitely recommend her if you’re looking for someone to watch your animals.”
“Hilda was an exceptional house sitter! Our dogs, which are usually very anxious, were so relaxed and comfortable with her! Hilda was wonderful at communicating and reassuring us about our specific requests about caring for our dogs and she sent us pictures, videos and text updates about how the dogs were doing. Hilda was also very tidy and helpful around the house with helping water plants and such. We highly recommend Hilda and look forward to having us help our fur-babies again in the future!”
“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.”
“Zara was magic with my dogs! One equally greets everyone with major barking but he was so calm meeting her. She gave great reports and updates abd asked great questions. We will look forward to using her more in the future!”
“Ava was amazing! She sent updates consistently and Rocco buddy loves her. So happy to have her and felt so calm knowing she took such good care of our little man. Will definitely book again!”
“Raquel and Andrew were wonderful! They went above and beyond to ensure our dog was well taken care of. They communicated often, followed Cheo's typical schedule and spent a lot of time with him. I was very pleased to come home to a happy, healthy dog and a clean house! They took care of the garbage and recycling, bedding and dishes!”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Laporte on Rover is $37.74 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 1,497 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Laporte. 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 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.
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 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 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.
