About: I've had all manner of pets during my life, being the primary caretaker of cats and dogs in the home since a very young age, dogs and cats being my favorite due to their playful nature. Now that my kids are getting older and wanting more pets in our home (we have 1 cat), I'd like to teach them responsibility and pet care by petsitting and walking dogs. Plus with all their energy and love, kids make the perfect friend for energetic dogs that love to play. My cat would also love a playmate, as he grew up with a big dog and misses having a friend! I currently work from home, so I could use the company and breaks to go outside and take walks just as much as your furry best friend! I have a large yard perfect for playing fetch and a big house so pups won't feel cramped. My kids are full of energy and would love a an energetic dog to play with or even an old dog to pour lots of love into with petting and belly rubs in abundance.
“Damarilys was absolutely wonderful!! We needed a dog sitter last minute and she was super responsive and capable. She took great care of my dog - not only walking him on his usual route, but also giving him lovins while I was gone. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I genuinely love animals and pay close attention to their behavior, comfort, and routines. I’m patient, dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. I recently moved to town from New Orleans and am an experienced dog owner. I absolutely love being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for! I’m taking a step back from corporate Human Resources and will have a very flexible schedule to dedicate quality time, attention, and care to your pets. As an animal lover and pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone dependable, patient, and communicative caring for your furry family members. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment tailored to each pet’s routine and comfort level. Whether I’m dog walking, drop-in visiting, or pet sitting in a client’s home, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, active, well-supervised, and cared for like they’re my own. I also believe in clear communication and will provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins for peace of mind.
About: I have had many types of experience through-out my life caring for pets. Just to name a few, I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and a chinchilla. I have potty trained my pups, and simple commands/tricks. Currently my schedule is open so I am able to care for pets anytime weekdays and weekends. Animals with a more rigorous/timed schedule are welcomed as well. I have friendly and loving doodles who are always trying to make friends. We regularly bring them to the beach, parks and long walks. They love making new friends and playing fetch. They have a large backyard to play in at times but they are usually in the house because they are spoiled and this Texas heat is savage. I can crate pets if needed, it just depends on your preference.
About: I’ve taken care of animals as a kennel tech and vet assistant since I was 15 years olds. And my degrees and career field revolves around veterinary medicine. I have nothing but free time to sit at home and care for your animals. There may be limited weekend availability depending on if I’m allowed to visit home once a month. I have an unfenced yard if your animal is a great listener, if not there is tons of space and a dog park for me to give them outside enrichment. Animals are free range in my home unless they have social issues. There are man areas that small kennels and gates can be placed to allow for separation if needed.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 94 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Port Arthur. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Port Arthur. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Port Arthur after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Port Arthur. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
