About: I've had my dog since I was young and is in charge and feeding, walking and bathing her. I love my dog and I like to see her healthy! My aunt will also trust me to walk and feed her while she is away on vacation. I currently go to Lonestar college at the Kingwood campus for fall 2026. I have in person classes Monday-Thrusday from anywhere from 2-6 hours a day. I can give more details if needed Since there are no pets allowed in my house I'll have to stay at the pet owners house. I plan on staying at the house for at least 12 hours out of the day (depends on school). I will make sure the pet has gone to the bathroom and is inside before I leave the house. When I return to the house I will get the pet lots of affection and attention after being alone for some time. I will play with the pet every now and then, give the pet a treat when he/she is good and of course I'll feed and walk them as described by pet owner.

“Since moving to the area we were really busy with moving and settling our children in that we had been neglecting our 2 pups. We found Mark and our pups are much happier to go on walks around the neighborhood. Mark is always on time and is very communicative regarding when he arrives as well as checking in on the next walk. He asks all the right questions to get to know our pups so that they are understood and comfortable. Would recommend Mark to anyone and we are already looking into having them boarded for an upcoming trip.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Porter
There are not enough good words to describe Bre. She is not only personable, she is joyful when walking my dog. She's flexible with time, good-natured and very eager to learn my Dottie's personality and dos and donts of our little queen's walk. I can't handle Dottie bc of her brute pittie strength, but she handles her better than my 6'1" husband. She is a professional through and through. Also, my dogs are very cautious (they do not like everyone) and she was their instant bestie. She just has a way with dogs! I am very glad we took a chance on her because she's definitely the best. Truly we all feel so lucky to have found her. Thanks, Bre!
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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
