About: We have 3 fur babies ourselves and would love to take care of yours! One of us is a stay at home parent and has all the time and love for your animals! One of us are a stay at home spouse/parent. The other only works till 4:30 and we have plenty of time in the morning and evening to stop by and either walk or just drop in and check in on your fur babies!! Our fur babies are super spoiled. They have several cat towers, tons of toys, LOVE playing with the laser. We will love all animals as our own when in our care.

“Had to go on a cruise and left my two fur babies in the care of my in-laws. While they were able to feed and pamper them they are no longer of the age where they can walk two large dogs. That’s where Krystal came in came. I’ve been told my dogs quickly learn to recognize the sound of Krystal’s vehicle and when they heard her pull in the drive way the dogs would run to the front door eagerly waiting for her arrival. I’ve been told now that I’m back that I need to keep Krystal as the dogs loved her so much. I really appreciated getting updates every evening with pictures of the dogs including the route they took, how far and how long they walked. All this was sent via email and text which was good as I was not receiving text messages (I could still communicate with Krystal via email). Overall a very positive experience.”

About: So Now that I have your attention, I've had pet for 27 year & my grandpa has over 50 of experience dealing with animals. I am comfortable dealing with all different sizes from 10lb to 300lb Im good with bigger dogs. Here some animals I have grown up around and know how to handle Dog's,Cat's Rabbit's, Chicken's, Horse's, Emus ,Ostriches, plus one donkey. I'm good with puppies. I helped my dog when she had puppies. We have 3 dog, & 7 cats 4 of which are mine the rest have been dumped here, in the middle of nowhere sadly that why people just drop them off out here. I used to take care of the neighbor's animals when they were out of town or on vacation. Recently I did this for the first time In long awhile. Now im watching a friend's dog too. I realized not only do I enjoy doing this, it could possibly help my grandpa (who's doing this with me ) pay for his diabetes medication because he feels better earning the money the asking for it. Services I can provide: trim their nails give them a bath. Play time walks if you have any commands im more than happy to reinforce there training. Also I'm a photographer and am willing to take pet photos. The only scheduling conflicts wouldbe with the Doctor's appointment. Butthere are only a handful of those a month I'm also a photographer so unless I have a shoot schedule. It should fit nicely into our routine. In my clients home, I would do my utmost to try & care for there pets to the standards that are Accustomed or what is being asked of me. If they need medicine then I would prefer to have detailed instructions and to watch the owner do it once. I am a quick learner. Along with a hard worker.
About: Having owned dogs that require tons of love & attention, I know what it takes to meet your expectations. I've had plenty of experience with dog sitting with my parents' 2 labs & have cared for many of my friends' dogs as well. I work from home so I’m available from 8am-6pm on weekdays. I am available on weekends pretty much anytime as well. My schedule is very flexible I have a fenced backyard so they can’t escape. If we go in the backyard I’ll always be back there watching them. I won’t ever leave them out there alone!

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I currently have a 2 year old husky named Moose (Daphne), whose story started with me taking in her stray mom and unexpectedly becoming responsible for four surprise puppies basically overnight. Navigating puppy life x4 taught me a lot about patience, structure, training, and reading dog personalities quickly. Moose and her siblings still get regular play dates since they went to close friends, which has been really special. I’ve also had pets my whole life, including multiple family dogs and a cat who lived to 17 years old. I genuinely enjoy animals of all personalities, energy levels, and quirks. Whether that means adventure walks, play time, routines, or just making them feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I'm currently working part-time in photography so I have a lot of free time and energy to take care of anything your animals may need I have a fenced in yard and one friendly pup who loves other dogs. Your dog would be well taken care of, and since I do have a Husky, who are smart and prone to escaping, I'm always close by when she goes outside. She also does not like to be in the heat so I'm always conscious of keeping a cool home with lots of water
About: I have been a professional dog walker and pet sitter for 7 years and have cared for many animals through the course of my life ranging from mice and snakes to mastiffs and great danes.

About: I have experience caring for both large and small dogs, and I treat every pup like they’re part of the family. Whether it’s a high-energy dog that loves long walks and fetch, or a smaller breed that prefers snuggles and a slow pace, I’m comfortable adapting to their individual needs. I offer reliable house sitting and am respectful of your home, always leaving it clean and tidy.

Whether you need a reliable sitter after work or someone to give your pup extra attention over the weekend, I’m here to help!

About: With over six years of hands-on experience, I provide elevated, reliable pet care tailored to each animal’s unique needs and routine. I understand that pets are family, and I approach every visit with professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care. As a marathon runner, I bring discipline, endurance, and consistency — ideal for active dogs who require structured exercise and purposeful walks. For more relaxed pets, I maintain a calm, reassuring presence that helps them feel secure and at ease in their home environment. My strong background in reptile care has refined my attention to detail and strengthened my ability to monitor subtle behavioral or environmental changes. I am highly observant, organized, and committed to maintaining clean, structured routines for every pet in my care. You can expect punctuality, thoughtful communication, and thorough updates. My goal is to provide seamless, stress-free care so you can travel or focus on your day with complete peace of mind. Pet care integrates seamlessly into my schedule. I work part-time and also maintain a remote position, which allows me a high level of flexibility and availability throughout the week. Because I control much of my schedule, I’m able to accommodate morning, midday, evening, and extended visits with consistency and reliability. Pet care is not an afterthought for me — it’s a priority I intentionally structure my time around. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Before care begins, I take time to understand their routine, personality, triggers, and any specific instructions so I can provide consistent, stress-free care. Safety is always my priority. On walks, I stay alert, avoid unsafe environments, and keep dogs securely leashed unless otherwise discussed. I double-check doors, gates, and crates, and I’m mindful about preventing escape risks. In the home, I maintain a calm, clean environment so pets feel comfortable and secure. I also pay close attention to subtle behavioral changes — especially because animals don’t always communicate discomfort in obvious ways. If anything seems unusual, you’ll hear from me right away. You can expect thoughtful updates, photos, and clear communication so you always feel connected and confident while you’re away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 505 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Porter. 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 Porter. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Porter.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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 Porter. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
