“Absolutely amazing! My dog loved her and i know cat did too. She made sure they were comfortable and played with them as well as give me updates on how they were doing. I definitely recommend her and i’d book her again!”
“Nathan is such a nice guy! :) He came in and loved on our animals (4 cats and 1 dog) for 2 days and we really enjoyed his services. Each animal has a different feeding method and Nathan took care of them no problem. Our high strung dog took to Nathan immediately which was awesome to see when he came over to meet them. We will definitely be using Nathan’s services when we’re away next!”
“Kylie made herself available for a last minute request and took care of everything I asked her to do. She was communicative and kept me informed during her drop in unprompted. I would definitely use her again in the future”
“Wendy was absolutely fantastic with my two pups for daily drop-in visits while I was out of the country. She made everyone, pups included, happy and comfortable. I would absolutely use Wendy’s wonderful pet services again!”
“Jada was an absolutely dream to work with. This is the longest we have been away from our cat and Jada took such good care of him. He trusted her right away and loved having her come over. She sent amazing pictures that made us feel at ease being so far away from our cat. We will definitely book again.”
About: I’ve taken care of mine and my family’s pets since I was 14 years old. I’ve had multiple pets myself. I have reptiles as well! I do work at a frozen daiquiri company as a manager. I rarely ever go in to the actual stores. I make sure they all have everything they need to run. I just need a little something on the side I do know how to somewhat train, I personally trained both of my dogs since they were puppies. If any accidents happen inside they will be promptly cleaned and sanitized.
“I very much appreciate Lisa’s flexibility when I accidentally left my old address on my profile, and she was willing to drive the 10 minutes away to my new apartment to make sure my pup was taken care of ❤️”
“Vickie always does an amazing job! We’ve hired her for all of our vacations and work trips and trust that the house will be safe and our babies will be well taken care of.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always come naturally to me. Once I moved out on my own, I got two cats, so I also have a lot of hands-on experience with cats and understand their personalities (and moods lol). I’ve been helping take care of family and friends’ pets since I was about 16, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while their owners are away. I’m really good at picking up on each animal’s personality—whether they’re super energetic, shy, or just want to chill and nap all day. I’m also comfortable taking care of other pets like fish, turtles, and similar animals. Overall, I just really enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. I’m available most days, including some weekends! I’m an online student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and can adjust my hours to fit what your pet needs. I offer drop-in visits and walks, and I always try to keep your pet’s routine the same so they feel comfortable. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and anything else they need. I do all care in your home since I have two cats of my own!
“Outstanding sitter for my fur babies! Cassandra went the extra mile to make sure our pets were happy and well cared for! She also anticipated our needs and made me feel at ease. She is very knowledgeable and reliable. Would definitely highly recommend!”
“They took amazing care of our two dogs while we were out of town. Very dependable and great communication. Sometimes when we leave, the dogs don’t eat and seem to shut down but this wasn’t the case at all this time. Thank you so much!!”
About: For as long as I've known I've owned animals, Cats, fish, dogs. Many relatives and even my mother in law allow to watch their dogs. Ive watched reactive pittie/boxer mixes to a high energy mini poodle. Cats are also a big part of my life I've raised them for almost my entire life. I can take care of kittens and adult cats. I was full time as a daycare teacher now im taking time for myself doing school and using this app for experience working with and training pets. This is my dream and i pray i can continue to do this. I am big on communication. We will discuss how you do things and I will go by that. I will make sure your pet continues to have the proper routine and safety procedures you already have in place for your pet. If one is not already established I will react accordingly by discussing with you what I may need to do to keep myself and your pet safe. If a incident is to ever occur then be sure i will contact you immediately after and send pictures of the incident.
“My cat, Phoenix, absolutely adored Vicki! She took great care of both him and my aquarium fish. She's punctual, thorough, and is overall a joy to work with. I'll definitely book her in the future!”
“April is amazing! She has experience with anxious dogs which is great since we have a very nervous rescue. She plays with them, teaches them tricks, and takes them for walks. She goes above and beyond!”
“Sarah cares for my babies like they are her own. My pups get so excited to see her - whether it is arriving at her home for an overnight or her coming to our house for a drop in, they love her and her family. So grateful to have found someone we trust with our babies!”
“We could tell by Lily’s smiles how much she enjoyed Ruth taking care of her. Ruth took great pictures, was timely and stayed in touch with us. So happy to have found Ruth!”

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Porter on Rover is $20.35 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
