About: Like many people here, I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I have helped train both family/friends pets with patience or redirecting behavior rather than relying on punishment. I am a treat heavy household so please let me know of any dietary restrictions! As for why I want help take care of your fur babies, iv promised myself to keep my menagerie at a minimum. I would love to incorporate some new fur friends into my daily routine. I'm more that happy to schedule meet and greets to see if I'm a good fir for you and your family! I'm usually free all day Sunday through Wednesday with the occasional errand runs throughout the day. I'm more than willing to work my schedule around your needs. As for Thursday through Saturday, I will be at work in the afternoons and evenings with fur babys being alone for about 7-8 hours (if they are staying with me or need drop by visits) In my home visits: I will provide walks, outside time in the back yard, and dog park excursions (if permitted). I will also incorporate feeding schedules, medication and any other personal requirements that are needed. Communication is key! In your home visits: I will provided walks on each visit (unless otherwise discussed) scheduled feedings and play/snuggle time. I would prefer not to do overnights unless I can bring my dog with me and all pets get along with in your home.
“Excellent experience from start to finish. Reliable, communicative, and clearly experienced with animals. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! Adrienne took such wonderful care of our pets and house. We received regular updates, photos, and thoughtful communication throughout. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing our animals were safe, happy, and loved while we were away. Highly recommend!”
“I'm so grateful for Jade and her help with my cat while I was away on a trip. She's responsive and understanding of my cat's unique needs and my concerns. I will definitely be booking her again for future trips away from home.”
“Julianne was our rockstar pet sitter again. She had openings last minute over the holiday weekend and took such great care when checking in on my cat. She always sends the best updates. Highly recommend!”
“Amanda has been such a gem while taking care of my cat Mochi! They give great updates each visit and communications with them is a breeze. I would recommend Amanda to anyone looking for someone who is attentive, caring, and very responsible. I felt great leaving my kitty in Amanda’s care!”
“My dogs have been waiting for their play time everyday around noon since we’ve been home. They were comfortable with Wendy from the moment they met her. She had great communication and was there when she said she would be!”
“Kaya was SOOO amazing with our little senior man!! He can take a bit to warm up to people and she was so patient with him. She was such an attentive, communicative, and timely sitter - I would highly recommend her for drop ins and overnights!”
“Isabella is great. She’s a great communicator, flexible and reliable. Bowie got a little bit of a sinus infection going on and she was willing to help administer his medication during her drop-in. I will definitely book again!”
About: I have been dog, cat, and even plant sitting since I was 14. I have over 500 hours of experience working as a veterinary assistant at small animal and exotic animal clinics! I’ve had 12 pets over the years and I currently live just with my cat meatloaf! I am currently job hunting, so I am free all day right now (other than visiting my own cat at home). I am happy to walk/ cycle to take care of your animal! I prioritize building a friendship with your pets, as I believe it helps me to provide the best level of care and trust. I am more than happy to play and/ or give them their space need be. You can be put at ease as I am open to paid cleaning agreements. Finally, it is my privilege to send a billion photos of your pets when I’m with them!
“We needed a drop in last minute. Madeline came the morning of to meet everyone then returned in the evening to take care of our dogs. She went above and beyond and did a great job. We have a special needs dog and she was able to meet her needs which was amazing. Highly recommend Madeline if you need care for your pets.”
“Haley was FANTASTIC!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! We were traveling through town in an RV, staying for a few days and needed someone for some drop in visits. We could not have been more lucky to find Haley. Highly responsive, clearly loves dogs, professional and flexible. I only wish we lived closer as Haley would be our go to dog sitter! Thank you Haley!”
“Taegan did a great job with our house full of animals. She approached her work with care and kindness and did a thorough job of communicating with us! We thought she went above and beyond (as a tiny example, she noticed our full trash can and took it to the curb on trash day).”
“Taylor was THE best cat sitter! I had never left my cat for 10 days so I was incredibly anxious about it (I’m a worrier, I know), but Taylor instantly made me feel relieved. He sent updates, pictures and videos of my cat. She is a picky/demanding cat, so it made me incredibly pleased that they got along and bonded just fine! Taylor let me know everything I needed to know about my cat sprinkles, how she was doing, acting and eating, he emptied the litter box, changed her water and food, and gave her lots of pets! Great communication, great pics and videos of my cat, the best experience all around. I would 100% recommend Taylor if you’re looking for a pet sitter of any kind!”
“Stacy is wonderful. Our kitties love her and so do we! She is prompt and communicative and takes lots of photos and details every visit. We feel very much at ease knowing that she is taking care of our two cats while we are away. Thank you Stacy!”
“Sarah was happy to check in on our dog Lilo on very short notice! She was quick to respond and was great checking in on our pup and giving her some love. We will book with her again!”
“Patrick was amazing. We were out of the country for his visits with our dog. His communication was timely and thorough. He went above and beyond with water plants, caring or our chickens, plants and cat as well at the dog. Will definitely recommend and use Patrick again.”
About: Hi, I'm 21 and I've spent the last 8+ years working with kids and families—most recently as an Assistant Program Director at a YMCA summer camp. That job taught me a lot about responsibility, patience, and caring for living things that can't always tell you what they need. That mindset carries right over to how I care for animals. I grew up with pets and have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, cats with big personalities, and a few small critters too. I'm comfortable with walking, feeding, medication schedules, and handling the occasional mess or emergency without panicking. When I'm watching your pet, I treat your home with the same respect I'd want someone to treat mine. I'm happy to bring in mail, water plants, and leave the place cleaner than I found it—it's just part of the deal for me. I'm currently visiting family in Cincinnati with a wide-open schedule before a summer road trip, so I'm especially available for short-term sits, weekend care, and last-minute needs. I'll send you photos and updates so you never have to wonder how things are going back home. Let me know if your pet has any quirks, routines, or special needs—I'd love to meet them and make sure they feel safe and loved while you're away. Right now I'm between jobs and visiting family in Cincinnati, so my schedule is completely open. Pet care is my main focus—I'm available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnights, weekdays and weekends. I can build my day around your pet's routine instead of trying to squeeze them into a busy calendar. Walks, feedings, playtime, and just hanging out so they're not lonely—whatever rhythm your pet is used to, that's the rhythm I'll follow. I provide care exclusively in my client's home, where pets feel most comfortable and secure. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, medication, leash protocols, doors and gates kept secure—and I treat your home with total respect. I'll send regular photo updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. If anything seems off with your pet's behavior or health, I'll reach out immediately. Your pet's well-being and your trust are the most important things to me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Laporte on Rover is $16.89 per visit (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,301 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Laporte. 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 Laporte 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 Laporte. 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.
