About: I have 5 years of pet care experience and I’m also a dog owner myself, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I’m patient, loving, dependable, and comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities. I can help with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and giving your pets plenty of attention while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available for house sitting, walks, feeding, playtime, and potty breaks throughout the week, including weekends when needed. I will treat your pets and your home with care and respect. I follow all feeding and care instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
“Sara is so sweet and you can tell she loves animals. My 2 little ones liked her from the very first meeting. She came twice a day to feed, play and let them outside. I was so relieved on my trip and knew I had nothing to worry about. I highly recommend her.🥰🐶🐶”
“I couldn't have asked for a better sitter for Lucky. Josh and Erin treat him like one of their own and it brings me comfort knowing that he is at home when he is there. Truth be told I think he thinks I'm in the sitter.”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by dogs. I’m not ready to get another dog yet so I know that I would be a good fit for yours. I am retired. Walking your dog would be a blessing to me as well as give you peace of mind. I will take care of yours the same as I would do for mine. I have a fenced in yard. I have no pets. I love being outside and am very active. It would be a honor to be your dog walker.
About: I have had dogs my entire life ever since i was born. i treat my own 3 as if they are my actual babies (i mean they are!) I am so excited to be taking care of your baby soon. I am home from school around 3:30 an can get to you pretty quick. I always take my rowdy little lady to the park every friday evening when possible and we even get little snacks on the way home. feed them on schedule, provide fresh water, give exercise and playtime, clean up after them, and offer comfort and attention. Always follow the client’s specific instructions.
“I can't say enough good things about Vicki; she's simply the best. I never have to worry while I'm away from home because she takes such wonderful of my cat, who loves her to bits.”
About: What sets me apart is the patience, attention, and genuine care I give every pet. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’m comfortable following detailed routines, caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and giving pets the time they need to feel comfortable with me. I also provide plenty of communication, photos, and updates so owners can feel at ease while they’re away. Luckily, my schedule is very flexible, allowing me to accommodate drop-in visits throughout the day and provide care when your pet needs it most. I am happy to discuss your best schedule. For drop-in visits, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and follow the routine and instructions provided by their owner. During each visit, I can provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks if requested, playtime, affection, and any other care your pet may need.
About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals in the house including dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and even turtles. The responsibility of pet ownership has been instilled in me from a young age and I’d love to help out others where I can! I’ve had all sizes and energy levels of dogs including a greyhound, chihuahua, cattle dog, cocker spaniel, and a chiweenie! I’m not at a place in life where I can own my own pet right now but I’d love to help others take care of their furry family members! I work 3.5 days a week and I’m looking to care for pets on Thursday-Sunday! I have a pretty open/flexible schedule on those days! I would be able to walk, play with and/or entertain your dog or cat depending on its needs and energy level. I am a very flexible person and can work and learn to accommodate to your pets needs!
“Shea-Lyn was fantastic taking care of our cat. He’s elderly, needs attention and medication twice a day. She confirmed his medication intake and played with him for a while which he really loved. Will definitely book her again!”
“she is such a great sitter for my fur babies!! first time using rover & im so glad i used alexa! i was so nervous leaving my dogs as one of them has neurological issues but i know they were both well taken care of by alexa!! definitely will be using her again!! 🖤”
About: I have fallen in love with every kitten whom I've ever met, and I would love to add yours to that list. Whether your baby likes to play or prefers to lounge in the sunlight and enjoy royalty status, I have the perfect most loving home for them to visit. I am located in the heart of Kingwood and have a medium apartment with plenty of space for your kitty to roam around, sunlight for basking, and wood panel floors for a worry free stay. I have a convenient hybrid work schedule allowing me to be at home an extra day out of the week (Friday), and for Monday through Thursday I work downtown typical hours, allowing me to be home around 6:30ish. This leaves me plenty of time in the evenings and all weekend to spend some quality time with your baby, outside of just seeing to basic needs. On office days I can also check in on my fluffy house guests from my pet cams and see how they’re enjoying their stay. For most days I should be able to meet internal clock meal times to a T, ensuring consistency and peace of mind for your kitty. I do not currently have a cat of my own, so if your baby prefers not being looked after with other furry friends, they'll have nothing to worry about. I have plenty of space and window-cast sunlight beams for any cat to feel at home and comfortable. It is just myself and my son at home, so there is plenty of attention available to love and dote on your baby. I have space for any accommodations needed, such as litter boxes and/or larger toys or scratching posts. For those cool cats who enjoy outdoor walks and some fresh air, I have the Town Center park practically right outside my front door and would love to go enjoy a nice walk with them.
About: My availability is very flexible, I have been dog sitting for a year and I used to have two dogs of my own, Rottweiler and an American bulldog. I will treat your pet as if it were mine. I like to take walks to the park, and I always clean up after them. I’m also open to dog sitting at your home since I live in an apartment. I have reliable transportation and I live in a nice area. I’m very responsible, trustworthy and dependable. I like to work with any size dogs, I don’t discriminate lol. If I sound like the right dog walker for you let me know so I can meet you and your furry friend. Hope to hear from you soon! I am currently pet sitting full time, so I am available any day of the week, my schedule is also flexible for any last minute requests. My home is pet and child proof, since I used to provide care for both, I have treats, toys, and an extra free room if they’d like to have it for themselves. If I’m sitting at someone’s home I make sure to keep the place neat while I’m caring for your pet, and will follow any directions left to me. Please let me know if your cat has any special needs
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.
“We only needed them temporarily but they did a great job taking care of our fur baby and making sure he had plenty of attention and exercise in the middle of the day.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Porter
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Porter 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Porter choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Porter with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
