“Dominique was wonderful with our pups. She was timely. She communicated daily. She adjusted our schedule as needed. And most importantly our dogs were happy with a walk and some attention everyday that we were gone. Thank you so much!”
“Sirrine is a very caring, lovely person and she took excellent care of our Hank. She even left ‘pawgress’ reports at the house for us to review when we got home. We’ll be using her again :)”

About: I've always had a pet, even when I was little. My mom says she knew she was in trouble because my favorite place to go was the pet store. I love all animals, yes even the non cuddly ones too, like snakes. They make shirts that say "I just came here to pet your dog" and I believe that shirt was made for me. I love all breeds, but the bullies hold a special place in my heart. I am the one that my friends and family call when they go out of town to dog sit and figured why not expand upon it, meet new people and pet more fur babies! If I ever won the lottery I would buy lots of land and would build an animal sanctuary.
About: growing up my family always had pets, I've watched family and friends dogs in my own home, I go to 2 peoples for quick visits, I was a kennel tech for about 3 years and love taking care of all sorts of pets. I've learned a lot from my previous job about medication, proper feeding, playtime and I've even learned how to properly bathe dogs and do nails along the way. my daily schedule as of right now is open, I enjoy spending time with dogs and cats all sizes. I am available Monday- Sunday anytime you need. I have a super friendly dog named Charlie and due to me not having a fenced in yard we normally just go on walks together on our quiet, peaceful street, he enjoys it as much as i do. If you don't have a very playful pup, I do have 2 boring cats who don't bother my dog or any of the other dogs I have watched.

I will always be 100% honest with you as your canine care provider. Give me the nitty gritty details, requests, needs, etc. and i’m more than happy to follow your lead. I work a non-standard schedule, so there is someone in the house (myself or my partner) Saturday through Tuesday and pets are only solo between 11am-5pm Wednesday through Friday. I’m happy to provide everything you and your pet(s) need. My priority is making sure you have peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your babies are loved, safe, and cared for.

April is absolutely amazing! I am always careful about who I leave my dog with, but April immediately gave me complete peace of mind. She is incredibly responsible, reliable, and genuinely loves animals. She kept me updated with pictures and messages, so I never had to worry for a second. My dog absolutely adores her, which is the best sign of all. I highly recommend April to anyone looking for a trustworthy person. I will definitely be booking her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Porter on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.

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:
- 94% 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.
