“We used Jessica for a weekend away! And our pups and cat loved her! We looked forward to their “report cards” after each stay and it gave us peace at mind! She was very responsive and enthusiastic with our pets!”
“Lily was so good to my babies. Very attentive, knowledgeable and took care of them like they were her own. They are big dogs, but very lovable and she didn't have any issues with watching them for me. Will definitely book again for my next trip out of town.”
“Katie has exceeded all expectations watching our cats while we were out of the country. Our animals are happy and looking forward to seeing her again. She takes the time to meet your fur baby and minimize the stress of being away from home. Thank you Katie !”
“I'm so happy Hannah was able to drop-in and take care of my dog. She came to meet Bolin before our scheduled visits and was able to answer all of my questions. On the first day of her visit alone with Bo, he was a bit spooked and wouldn't leave his kennel. Hannah's expertise with scared animals really showed, and within a few minutes Bo knew he could trust her. She kept me updated throughout the whole process. Overall a great experience.”
“Danica is a trusted friend and took wonderful care of my senior Cairn Terrier, Ripley, dropping in on her three times a day on my weekend vacation. Danica gave her all the attention she needed and followed my care instructions to the letter. I especially appreciated the detailed report cards and pictures she sent, keeping me updated on how Ripley was doing. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. I would absolutely book with Danica again—I trust her with my home and have complete confidence in her judgment when it comes to Ripley’s care!”
About: Caring for people's babies is my ultimate dream job! From their cuteness to their unique personalities, I fall in love with every baby that comes my way. I've always had pets. Mostly dogs but I adore cats as well. Snuggling, playing or teaching- I'm never happier than when I'm around animals. I know leaving your babies for any reason can cause you some worry. Let me help to ease your mind. Your pets will always be in good hands with me and they will always be treated as my own. I will walk them for some exercise, come by to feed them or simply just to play! You can count on me to know that when you're not with them, your baby is not only being cared for but also loved. I currently work Monday thru Friday 8 to 5. I can certainly come by to walk or feed your babies if you're working late. I can take care of your babies any weekend. If I could do this full time, I would. I will feed your babies on the schedule you provide. Unfortunately, my babies are older and don't particularly like other animals but I'd be glad to watch yours in your home and that way you know your home is protected as well. I can also provide a reference!
“Christa has taken care of our boys twice and we couldn’t be happier. She walks them until they go potty, sometimes it takes my older guy a little bit. She takes great care of them while under her care, will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend!”
“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!!”
About: Grew up on a farm and had/have dogs my entire life. I also within the last 2 years have volunteered with working dog training facilities and horses at an equine therapy program. It has been great learning how to train and approach dogs, make them feel at ease along with challenging their brains. I have an extremely flexible work schedule which allows for lots of time with your furry family member(s). Fetch, walks, brushing, treats and feeding are all part of the daily activities. I have one amazing dog of my own he is 7 years old and neutered. He enjoys playing with other dogs. Safety for the dog and peace of mind for the traveling owner is always number 1. Plus lots of photos and storyboards of your loved dog’s day.
“I love Cynthia has my dog sitter!! 💓 She is patient, careful and kind with my doggies. I believe my dogs are safe and comfortable with her. She is responsible, understandable and flexible. She has been such a great help with them. 100% recommended.”
About: I’ve had the responsibility of caring for my own animals since I was a child and genuinely doing it. I’ve cared for animals of all sizes. I’m a stay at home mom so I have more time than most to take care of your pets. I can also do the odd hours that most can’t I have a fenced in backyard that’s HUGE so your pet will have plenty of room to run around in. I do have a dog of my own but she’s super friendly and loves to play
About: I have raised dogs from puppies to elderly. I enjoy checking in, feeding, brushing & taking your pup on at least 1 walk a day if desired. I do work local to Nederland, full time therefore I’m free morning, lunch (typically between 1:30-2:30) and evenings for locals. Free anytime on the weekends. I have a clear background and I welcome cameras in and around your home for your protection and mine. Privacy of your home along with the safety of your pets is a top priority.
“Chesney took excellent care of our fur babies and we will definitely be using her again! Loved all the pics and it was comforting not to have to worry about them while out of town! She went out of her way to make sure the dogs had everything they needed!”
About: I have been professionally involved in pet care for over 15 years and keeping and studying animals for even longer! Animals are my passion and I love all species. My pets ARE my whole life. I make sure that their needs are met before my own every day and spend as much time as possible with them. I always double check no exits are left unsecured, that all leashes and collars are properly attached and fitted, and never let pets out of my sight as long as I’m with them.
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 two friendly, 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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Arthur
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 July 2026, there are 113 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
- 91% 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.
