Melanie went out of her way to come meet Olivia and us before her time to dog sit. She was flexible, communicated very well and did an excellent job. This was our first time to use Rover and we are hooked! Thank you!

Alexis does a great job for me. She’s very conscientious. Both my dogs like her from what I could see in the pictures that she sends me and she does extra things with the dogs. Doing some obedience training with my younger dog. When I first started using Rover, I just expected her to let the dogs out so they could go to the bathroom. She does more than I expected would highly recommend her.

Laylani is amazing! Our pup LOVED her. She was dependable and caring and I felt so much better about being away. The communication and pictures were so reassuring and my kids excitedly awaited her reports. Highly recommend (just not on the days I need her 😂)!

This was my first time using Rover or someone I didn’t know to take care of my cat. I was very nervous. Megan was excellent. She was available at very short notice & did a great job with a very fussy cat. I will definitely look to her again should I need someone to look after my girl. She even went through some extreme weather to make sure my pet was fed. She was dedicated.

Chyanne was absolutely fantastic! She was always on time, kept us updated with pictures, and went above and beyond by even bringing our trash can back up after trash day while we were out of town. She truly treated our pets like her own, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. I think our pets already miss her! Highly recommend!

Rebooked Emily to drop in on our cats for a couple days while we were on a short road trip. She thankfully accepted our last minute sitter request. As usual, she was very good at communicating, following our instructions, and sending us photos of our babies. We will definitely book again!

Even though I do not offer the option of boarding, I will strive to make your pet's safety my number one priority when I am walking them!

Leanne was great with our 2 cats. I was able to text her while I was away, & that allowed me to enjoy my trip more because I knew the cats were being taken care of. The cats really loved her; our shy one came right up to her! She even gave them treats & brought in our mail. Great job!!

About: I love staying active and spending time outdoors. Your dog and I will have a great time on walks or runs together! And if you have a feline friend, I’m just as happy to relax and keep them company at home. I’m kind of a early morning person so I can take your pet out in the morning for their bathroom breaks walks on a nice afternoon I wake up at 5am to feed my cats breakfast Make sure they have their puzzles filled in the morning and night to keep them Occupied/busy. Clean their litter boxes every morning and before bed .

About: I have experiences with different breeds of dogs from Lhasa Apso to Great Danes! I’ve been trusted to watch and feed dogs for my neighbors, family friends, etc. for over 5 years and I’ve never met a dog I didn’t absolutely adore. I am currently working at Johnson & Johnson in Warsaw but travel home on the weekends and would love to help watch your fur babies! I’m solely doing visits to client’s homes. I am a detail oriented person and will gain the trust of your pet before anything to ensure that they are comfortable with me being around. I will follow any directions given to me and will be transparent with any questions/concerns I may have about your pet.

About: Hi there! My name is Andrea and I'm looking forward to helping provide support for your fur-friend. I enjoy walking dogs and cat sitting. I have been dog walking for a few years and grew up with several cats. I enjoy talking dogs on walks so that we both (the dog and I) can get some much needed fresh air! In summertime, I make sure to go on early walks with the dogs so that the heat doesn't affect them as much. I do dog walks and house sits/visits for all pets and have references by request. I am responsible and value communication so that we can both have a great time using Rover. I’m looking forward to helping make your life easier! My schedule is very flexible and I am able to help out throughout the day. I can easily modify my work schedule to help suit your pet’s schedule! I enjoy spending quality time with animals and believe that they are an integral part of a family. I enjoy taking them on walks and letting them get fresh air. I like playing fetch with them as well as just hanging out and giving some good pets.

Madison was great. She had to get on the floor and take pictures of my cat under the bed when she wouldn't come out. 🤣 I was able to text her and ask her to leave some treats for my cat and she responded quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to book Madison again.

Kelli was great! She checked in with Pumpkin and Peaches every day, and I felt a tremendous peace of mind with her taking care of my kitties. Thank you, Kelli! Her personality is so sweet, warm, and welcoming. She treated my kitties like they were her own.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Porter on Rover is $16.05 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 490 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Porter. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Porter. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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.

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.
