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.
“Kat is truly amazing. Communicative, she answered all my questions while we were gone, she even went to pick up last minute medication for our cat. I tend to stress out A LOT when I’m away from my cats, but knowing Kat will be there 1 hour a day, put my mind at ease. Thank you so much for everything Kat.”

“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 ❤️”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend Vickie! Vickie has been wonderful with our two Golden Retrievers! Before her first official visit, she came over just to meet our girls, which immediately put both them and us at ease. By the time she left that day, the pups were already in love with her. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine love for animals really shine through. We came home to two happy, relaxed girls and couldn't be more pleased. We've already planned to book her again — look no further for a dog sitter you can truly trust!”
“This was our first experience with Rover and Kimberly was fantastic! We appreciated all the pictures and updates of our little ones while we were gone.”
“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!”
“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: Hello! I am currently a stay-at-home pet parent with 10+ years of experience caring for fur babies. I have previously worked for a pet hotel where I gained skills in training and grooming. In my personal life, my friends and family often rely on me for pet sitting. I have 2 sweet, energetic dogs - a male miniature Australian Shepherd and female Lab Mix - who are both 1 1/2 years old. I spend most of my time enjoying enriching activities with them. Both are very welcoming and get along great with other dogs of all sizes. I’m passionate about providing activities that are mentally enriching in addition to physical exercise and fulfilling their natural drives. Playing with purpose is so much more fun and rewarding! My preferred schedule is noted in my availability, but I’m happy to accommodate (including last minute availability) whenever I can so please feel free to send me a message if you have any questions or concerns before booking. I have a fenced yard, enrichment activities, and a friendly, energetic puppy to keep yours entertained. For visits in your home I can take care of feeding, administer oral medication, take them for a walk, etc depending on your individual preferences. I’m also happy to water your plants and bring in your mail upon request 🙂
“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”
“Thank you Austin & Courtland for taking such good care of my frenchies while I was out of town. I was very impressed by your communication and updates on caring for the little pups. I know they appreciated the snuggles, treats, and extra playtime outside with you.”
“Ana was absolutely fantastic! She did 2 drop in visits for my dogs. My dogs loved her! She was prompt and great at keeping me updated. Highly recommend.”

“Dear Rover Team, I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for the outstanding pet care services provided by Cassandra. My experience with her has truly been five stars! From the very beginning, Cassandra demonstrated excellent communication and a deep understanding of Libbey's needs. Her consistency and attentiveness throughout my time away gave me peace of mind, knowing that my furry friend was in such capable hands. Would I recommend her? Absolutely! Cassandra’s professionalism and kindness made all the difference, and I am incredibly thankful for the care she provided. Thank you, Cassandra, for ensuring Libbey was well cared for while I was gone. Your dedication is truly appreciated! Warm regards, Ben”
“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!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Porter on Rover is $20.35 per visit (as of July 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.

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.
