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.
“I was apprehensive about leaving my boys with a stranger because they've only known me and my family. Liliana was PHENOMENAL! She stayed in constant communication with me and sent frequent updates with photos. The cats took to her immediately and even got comfy enough to lay in her lap. She was so attentive to their needs and even left gifts for all our kitties. I can not speak highly enough of her! I would highly recommend her for your own pets since she will treat them like the family members they are.”
“Katie provided my pup with the greatest visit experience. It was awesome to know someone was there for him when I had to work extended hours. She came for a meet and greet and Haides took to her immediately. Highly recommend for all services she provides”
About: I am more than happy to meet with you prior to booking with me! I acknowledge that it is important for you to get know me, as well as is it for me to get to know you. Having pets comes with great responsibilities. I have raised puppies since I was 9 up until now. I am a biologist and grew up on a farm, so I know how to care for all kinds of animals. I currently have a 6 year old Labrador Retriever named Kaia and 8 year old Weimaraner named Blue. Sisters that love to run, swim, and live a very fun life along with me and my parents. Most of the breeds I have owned have been large breeds: Labradors, Bloodhounds, Dalmatians, Weimaraners, along with small sized breeds such as Beagles and Miniature Australian Shepherd. I am working part-time so I will have time for your buddy. I am mostly available during weekends all day or Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday after 11:30 AM. I am not open to dog/cat sitting at my place, but I will gladly care for your friend at your place if needed. I am able to walk, feed, or take them to potty ever 2-3 hours. If your yard is not fenced, that is not a problem. If your yard is fenced, I will spend time with your dog, play with them, and clean up after them.
“Megan was fantastic with our two dogs! She was not only super nice but also flexible with scheduling when we had to push our trip back. Our dogs absolutely loved her, and she took great care of them. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!”
“Baleigh went above and beyond for my cats. I had sudden plans change and she was extremely accommodating and kind to work with me. She kept my home clean, took plenty of pics of my cats for me, and gave them attention despite them being shy. I would recommend Baleigh for anybody!”
“Melissa was amazing with my pets, Dakota and Stormy. She was always on time, never late, and very attentive to their needs. Dakota loved her right away, and even Stormy warmed up to her, which says a lot. It really gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
About: There was never a time in my life where I didn’t have a multitude of pets. I grew up with a family that loves the outdoors and everything in it. Something special about my care is that I’ve had years of experience in rehabbing injured animals. Because of this I’ve learned that patience and attentiveness are so important to a happy healthy pet. I’m devoted to meeting your pet halfway- or wherever I’m needed- in order to help you in any way I can! I work part time Monday-Friday and by 9AM I have the rest of the day to myself! My schedule would be most ideal for a family who needs help during the day or any time from 9:30AM-7PM. I look forward to working something out with you. I appreciate thorough instruction to insure that I am handling things exactly the way you imagine and prefer. Aside from caring for your pet I also like to lightly clean if needed/wanted to give you a little less to deal with.
“Karenna has been taking care of my dogs while I am working nights. She is always on time and treats my boys wonderful. She is also great with communicating and sending photos. I would highly recommend Karenna to take care of your babies!!”
“I love her work. She's so responsable and super patient. Take her time to know them. Follow instrucctions very well. I will definetly count with her in a futuro! Thanks Tessa! Happy New Year!”
“Anne did a really great job taking care of my two kitties and completed everything I asked her to do. She’s punctual and responsive. I hired Anne almost last minute and she replied very quickly. Thank you for taking care of my fur babies.”
About: Hi, my name is Reyna and I've had pets all my life. From bunnies to cats and now I am the loving pawrent of 2 Dachshunds named Nitro and Winnie and 1 recently adopted Chihuahua named Larue. I completely understand that eventhough we wish we could take our furbabies wherever we go sometimes that is not an option. You can count on me to check up on your babies if you ever head out for the day and need peace of mind. I can drop in for a check in, feed them, walk them, play with them and head back out. I am a full time employee during the week but I am available most Fri-Sun. I am a full-time employee Monday-Thursday. I am available most Friday-Sunday for drop in visits with your pets especially if told ahead of time. You can count on me to drop in and feed, walk or play with your babies. I know some have more energy than others and require more walking and playing than others and I can do that. You can trust to let me know what your furbabies activity level is so I can plan an exciting drop in visit for them.
About: I’ve spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets, from energetic puppies that need extra playtime to older dogs that prefer slow walks and sticking to a routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning up accidents, giving plenty of attention, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I know every pet has a different personality, so I take the time to earn their trust instead of forcing interactions. Whether your pet loves to play fetch, go on long walks, or just relax with someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel safe, cared for, and give updates while you’re away. I’m currently in nursing school, and I have a pretty flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, and overnight stays. I keep my availability updated and only accept bookings I know I can fully commit to, so your pet always receives reliable, attentive care. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, favorite walking routes, and any house rules. I take time to build trust with each pet, pay attention to their body language, and keep a calm, clean environment. I’ll treat both your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would my own.
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: My mom has relied on me to feed, care, walk, and bathe our dogs growing up. My grandma has also relied on me to Watch overheard puppies as she left for vacation vacations. I have been doing this for 10+ years. I am currently working part time, I am available every weekday until 4 PM when I would go to work. While at work, I have three family members that can care for your pets while I am gone. I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for them to play. I am more than happy to kennel, my friendly golden retriever and orange kitten whenever.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Arthur
Jessica did a great job taking care of my cats. That are very skittish of anyone they don’t know, so they usually go hide when they hear the door open. She made sure they had food and water and a clean litter box, that’s what I needed someone to do. I would definitely recommend Jessica for your pet care.
Jessica was wonderful with our little old man, Buster. I was out of town for the day and she came and checked on him and took him for potty breaks during the day. You can tell she loves animals just by the way she interacted with him. I’ll be using her again, definitely!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 109 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Port Arthur. 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 Port Arthur 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 Port Arthur. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% 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.
