About: A little about me…I absolutely love animals! I would be the person who will feed a stray and make sure it’s taken care of or potentially finds a home. I provide attentive care, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, administering basic medications if needed, and keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages for peace of mind. I treat every dog as if they were my own and strive to create a fun, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I work full time so I’m available during evenings after 5:00 pm, if local I can work around it, and I am also available weekends. I am available all day on Saturday and Sunday. I have a fenced yard so your pet will always be safe with me. I will make sure to always protect your pet while with me.
About: I love dogs, they are more family than just animals. I have experience with small dogs and big dogs. I stay home to care for our litter of pups and the mom. I work remote, I am beginning a new job that gives me the flexibility to care for dogs. I also attend school online and that schedule is also flexible. I live by the water so when I take my dogs out sometimes I use a leash. I have a kennel to put them in if necessary.
About: I’ve cared for more pets than I can count in my 46 years - dogs, cats, birds, sheep, fish, cattle, horses.. dogs and cats, mostly. I’ve always had pets and always will. I’m at a time in my life where I’m able to do what I love and that led me to Rover. I love animals! I own a business that allows me the freedom to create my own schedule and the ability to be flexible for my adorable furry clients. I don’t currently accept pets into my home as I have my hands full with 4 dogs of my own. I am a responsible work from home business owner with a flexible schedule to meet your pet sitting or dog walking needs.
“Our first time using Rover and we love Bailey. Jake warmed up to her right away. She sent pictures and kept in communication with me the whole time. We definitely will be using her again.”
About: Unexpected events happened or planned trip vacation? I’ve got it covered! While your away your pup will feel like it’s on a vacation also! Running around outside playing, making friends, relaxing inside on bed or cold floor, spa day? Can’t forget about belly rubs! *Edited April 21st 2025 I have plenty of free time to make sure I’m there for your pets needs and to play with them so they won’t feel alone I have a fenced 2 acre land where they can run and play all they want. And I can also go to homes and play and feed them.
About: I have many years of experience in pet sitting for many different breeds of dogs. I can assure that the pet owner will receive responsible, reliable, and quality care for their fur babies. I am also a member of Trusted Housesitters. I am recently retired so I have much time to play with your fur babies. I am available any time of the week. I enjoy walking so a definite win win for walking pups. I prefer to care in the client's home. I have cared for some in my home. I have two cats so it would just depend on the pup or location.
About: I have been taking care of animals full-time through another app for the past three years. I have dozens of reviews I can share from that app. I love animals. I used to have my own cat and dogs when I was younger. I've also lived with people who have had pets. Even some people who had up to four cats and four dogs at a time. However, I promised myself that I wouldn't get my own animal again until I have a house of my own. Until that time, I look forward to giving your dear pets all the attention they deserve. I have many great reviews on the TrustedHousesitters app that I am happy to share with you. I look forward to being able to give you peace of mind about your animals. I know from first-hand experience with watching other people's animals, that pets usually prefer to stay in their home environment while their owners are away. So they will miss you, but this is the next best thing. :) I make my own schedule. I am very flexible. Possibly able to take last-minute requests. Please feel free to let me know what works best for you. The more communication the better. If possible, I prefer to meet you and your pet in person beforehand. To iron out any details and also so your pet will have met me.
About: I have a cat and a dog that are very loved and cared for I have checked in on some of my friends animals before i enjoyed seeing them!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 35 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Port Lavaca. 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 Lavaca 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
