“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 ❤️”
“Kayla was great! She took such good care of Gypsy, Lafitte, and our home. Her communication is timely and she left our home very clean, even washing the sheets and towels! Our dog had a bout of sickness the day before we came home and Kayla was very attentive and caring with her. Gave us frequent updates and treated Gypsy as her own. I highly recommend Kayla and will be using her services again!”
“Emily was the best sitter we could have asked for! We have several animals; both dogs and cats, some with medication needs. She didn’t hesitate when we explained everything, and was more than up to the task! Our 20 year old cat, Goober, had especially specific instructions (including IV fluids), and Emily did every step we asked for, and went above and beyond. She understood how difficult it was to leave Goober at this point in his life (end stage renal disease) and made making him as comfortable as possible at all points in time a huge priority. She communicated frequently, sent tons of pictures, and made our wedding time completely peaceful knowing everyone was taken care of. Our home was completely perfect getting back to and she left a very sweet “just married” card for us. She will be our go-to for all of our future house-sits.”
“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 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!”
“Karina was great! She came over before my trip to get to know my dog and his routine. She sent multiple pictures of my dog on walks and happy and playing ing the yard. I would definitely hire Karina again.”
“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.”
“Absolutely hands down fantastic!!! My dogs have never had someone watch them that they didn’t know. They snuggled right up next to her and eased my worries quickly ! 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.”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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!!!”
“Hilda took wonderful care of my English Bulldogs while I was away for a week! She walked them daily and sent the cutest updates! She was very quick to respond to messages and overall made my trip enjoyable not having to worry about my babies! I hope to hire her again anytime she is free in the future! Thanks again Hilda!”
“Alexandria was super communicative and caring of our baby girl. She did the most with her of any sitter we had and she seemed to love her special day together. She even utilized great training techniques, safety measures and tools to assist with some of the negative behaviors. Will definitely hire again!”
“Shea was absolutely fantastic. She saved us as it was a last minute decision. We got daily updates and too cute pictures. She gave our dog his medicine 2x daily and took him for walks. She also watched our spicy kitty without incident. When we arrived home we couldn’t even tell she had been here. 10 out of 10 would highly recommend.”
“She was absolutely amazing! She checked in with me regularly, sent lots of photos and updates, and took such great care of my pups. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well taken care of while I was away. I would definitely recommend her and will absolutely book with her again! ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laporte
Darlene did great with our anxious pup. Our dog usually struggles with anxiety and not eating while we are away, but she seemed to do great this time. We got updates and pictures throughout our trip. She left her house as she found it and was a great houseguest. We really appreciate her and will definitely look forward to booking her in the future.
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 $73.07 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 1,524 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
