“Great pet sitter! They took excellent care of my spoiled Chihuahuas and treated them like their own. I received numerous daily updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I will definitely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter.”

“Annette was an absolute lifesaver, and we feel so fortunate to have found her! She cared for our dog, Milo, for almost two weeks, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such capable and caring hands. She followed his feeding schedule perfectly and clearly took his routine and well-being seriously. We especially appreciated the thoughtful, consistent updates while we were away. Twice a day, Annette sent wonderful photos and videos of Milo, giving us peace of mind and letting us relax knowing he was happy and well cared for. Annette is reliable, trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely loving toward animals. We’re so grateful for the care she gave Milo and wholeheartedly recommend booking her. We would absolutely book with her again!”

I Am an avid animal lover and home 24/7 to monitor and care for animals all day and night with a large fenced backyard, I work with all sorts of dogs from old, blind, deaf, 3-legged, bad tempered, there’s not a challenge I can’t handle :) I have my own business working from home so I’m always available & always looking forward to take care of your fur babies for you I have a huge fenced in backyard and we live in a secluded area so no need for worries of other animals, I groom dogs and cats as well just in case you want them groomed during their stay, we offer to reinforce any training they’re undergoing, and are able to take them to dog parks/trails if instructed
“It was another great experience! Ximena is so responsive and sends videos/photos everyday. Remi loves staying there and it’s comforting knowing he’s happy when we’re away!”
“Namita was incredibly sweet and very accommodating with our travel plans. She went out of her way to make things more convenient for us, which was greatly appreciated with my hectic schedule. Not only that, she also sent me regular pictures and updates of my dog! My pup came home happy and exhausted. I highly recommend Namita as a pet sitter :)”
“My husband and I went away for a week to visit family on the east coast. I hadn't left Maggie for that long since pre-pandemic when we traveled more frequently. I took time searching on Rover for the right person and am so glad that I found Heather. I received daily photos on what Maggie was doing and how she was doing. Maggie had a great time at Heather's, she is so tired from all the fun that she had! Heather is a fellow pug mom so that put me at ease too that she was aware of the needs of the breed. Heather even washed Maggie's blankets that I have with her dog bed before we picked her up. Above & beyond, I will definitely be booking Heather whenever we travel in the future!”

Dawn was great. Our dog is anxious and a little high maintenance. Dawn handled everything great. Usually when we pick our dog up you can tell he’s been stressed but he was very relaxed and happy. She sent pictures and videos and you could tell she cared for our dog well. We would definitely use her again in the future.
Alyssa was an amazing sitter for our GSD puppy, Senna! We were super upfront with her about Senna being sick and Alyssa did such a great job making her feel comfortable and loved with lots of play time. We had a few medications Senna needed and Alyssa was able to give them to her with meals with no issues. Communication while we were out of the country was super easy too and Alyssa was proactive in giving us updates throughout the week. It really put us as ease. We have full trust in Alyssa to have her care for Senna the next time we need it. Thank you so much Alyssa and Chandler for watching our sweet girl!!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

There are 2,383 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Porter. About 91% of Porter sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in TX ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
