“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 :)”
“Kat is a very loving caretaker of our dog and cat. She makes herself available whenever we need her. She’s great with communication and checking in with us while we’re traveling. She’s respectful of our home and pets’ needs. Book her! She’ll treat your pets as if they were her own!”
“Madeline was prompt and courteous. She is also a great photographer. I kept all the pictures she took of my dog. We communicated by leaving notes for each other, and she was very kind when tending to my pet. I would recommend her to anyone on the Rover app and I will also book her, in the future, the next time I’m out of town.”
About: While I have not professionally taken care of animal, I have always had a dog (specifically pitbulls) in my household since I was a child. I've also house sat for reptiles (lizards and snakes), fish, and cats. ** I will be unavailable for services from August to December while I am on maternity leave** I work full time remotely, so my schedule is very flexible. I can stop in at any time to walk or let them out to use the bathroom, or I can bring my work laptops with me to work from your home if I am needed for extended periods of time. I am also part of the Texas National Guard so every month I will need to go to drills, so weekend availability will change each month. At my dad's house in New York, I always leash our dog when we go for our walks and make sure that we walk through a safe neighborhood or on a hiking trail that's near our house. When outside, I keep an eye on him and make sure that he does not get into anything he shouldn't. I also make sure that if other people are around that he feels comfortable and safe. With my own puppy at home, he has a leash that we use to walk around our complex (they require all dogs to be leashed), but he is naturally good without a leash as well.
About: I've walked and taken care of dogs and cats since I was fifteen years old. I also have experience taking care of pups that are older as well! I’m available daily for pet care and dog walks! I have not begun working part time yet so I have lots of time as of right now. If I have any conflicts with my schedule, communication is my number one priority! I care for pets in my client’s home by making sure that they feel loved and cared for while their owners are away, and I make sure that they are safe, well-fed, and healthy. I also always double check any rules or notices that my client strongly prefers me to know and follow as well.

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.

“Our dog adores Sara! He is attached to her more than I've seen him respond to anyone. She's always prompt and communicative, friendly, and gracious. We have her booked every weekend indefinitely.”
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!
“Andrew walked our dog three times this week. He always took pictures and walked longer than the 30 minutes, and our pup has been thoroughly exhausted and happy every time!”
“Really came through for me at the last minute. Professional, polite and courteous and my pup who is otherwise skiddish really loves her and has a ball with her. So happy I found her.”

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.
About: Howdy! I’m Liz, proud pet owner and lover of all animals. I currently have a 10yo AmStaff/Pit mix, a 6yo chocolate Lab mix, and a 14yo calico cat. I’ve never NOT had pets around me growing up, from a 6lb toy poodle to 100lb+ mutts to cats of all temperaments. One of my greatest joys in life is giving my pets a lavish life, because they deserve it; i’d love to care for your baby in the same way. ❤️ I’m super flexible with the care of your pooch, anything you need, I can provide! 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. I stay in close communication with owners for the duration of services. I love to send pictures, text updates, let you know when I arrive/leave, and I ALWAYS triple check locks/gates/etc.

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!

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.
