“Jennifer took care of Coco for three days and was excellent. Very attentive, loving, and responsible. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. Highly recommended!”
“Kimber was fabulous with our part human! Ramsey Has only been with us since Covid so it was an adjustment for him. Kimber was great keep us updated on how he was doing on a daily basis. We still appreciate the care in love that she gave to him! Highly recommend Kimber for your dog care needs.”
“Robin is an absolute angel! She watched our dog Buddy for 10 days, and was amazing with him. Buddy is a rescue and a very nervous little guy, so Robin had us bring him over for short little stays with her prior to our vacation, so that Buddy could get adjusted to us leaving him for a period of time. She truly cares about the pets she watches, and I felt like she cared for Buddy as if he were her own. Robin kept us updated on how he was doing, and included photos. We missed Buddy terribly while we were away, but we knew he was in safe, capable, and loving hands. I would recommend Robin to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and would not hesitate to book with her again. Five stars is not enough! :)”
“Jacqueline was great! She took my dog and cat on very short notice for a few days, and they had a wonderful time. She gave them lots of attention and checked in every day with pictures and updates.”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of all different kinds of breeds and have all the time of the day todo so, I truly enjoy them I currently work part time remotely, so therefore my availability and time always there to take care of the animals that I have and love I spend most of my time playing, feeding, walking and lounging around with all different dogs and cats, no matter what their ages or sizes
“Catlyn was in excellent pet sitter! We were a little apprehensive as Shane had never been left alone since we adopted him last January. Catlyn kept us informed on a daily basis, even including photographs. Jane did gray and we will not hesitate to use Caitlyn again. Highly recommend!”
“Taylor was absolutely amazing! She knows dogs well and is super friendly and compassionate. I trusted her completely with my 3 fur babies while I flew home for the holidays. She even gave them all stockings with a toy, treat and blanket in them😊 So sweet! She kept me updated always with texts and pictures and I never was worried my whole trip. Her children are so sweet and loved on my fur kids and I was so glad everyone became good friends. I 100% recommend booking with Taylor if you are in need of fantastic sitter in Port Charlotte!”
“Jennifer was AMAZING! We have a high maintenance bulldog and the morning we was supposed to drop him off he ended up at the emergency vet for an injury. Jennifer let us modify our drop off time to make sure we still felt comfortable going on our overnight trip. She also sent us pictures and videos the entire time our baby was there. She gave him meds, dealt with him not sleeping, and his whining. We would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be booking again the next time we need a sitter.”
“Where do I begin? Natalie has been so wonderful, in the past and for this most recent stay (8 nights). We received photos, a video montage/slide show, and the most adorable full sheet of little stories about what Poppi did, didn’t do, and other fun things. Natalie was very flexible, both our departure and return times changed, and she was very agreeable to the changes- and happily accommodated said changes. Natalie’s daughter totally embraced Poppi’s loving nature (I.e. lots of licky kisses!) which was above and beyond. I hate to provide such a glowing review because I’d selfishly like to keep her all to myself, but that wouldn’t be fair! All dogs deserve to be loved and cared for as my Poppi has been. Thank you Natalie (and family)!”
“Second stay with Connie and Mark. Immaculate, quiet, peaceful home. My dog is 18 years old. Two weeks was the longest time I’ve ever left him. He did great. I highly recommend them!!”
About: i love like no other owener can and i play with all the energy i have, just like i would as if they were my own pets im a nursing student, besides 2 days at school im always home. i miss my puppy who i had for 18 years , he passed oct 2024. i want to give puppy lovings without the commitment of one right now until i am ready for my own again i have 3 cats, have had over 5 dogs. no accidents or illnesses ever. they all lived long lifes and were loved like family and thats exactly the care your pet will endure with me
About: I've had dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed the unique experience each one brings with them from their personalities. I have a large backyard of 2 lots fenced in together for my Doberman so that we have lots of space to play and he can really stretch his legs. He loves playing with other dogs and we are hoping to make lots of new friends, both with fur and without. I do most of my work from home, Sunday- Wednesday I am home all day, and I do have my 10 year old son after school on those days, but we go for multiple walks, and do playtime in the yard which is 1/2 acre and fenced in. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, I do work but typically only 5-6 hours outside the home. If I am going to be working longer on a day where you're booked I will communicate that ahead of time. I have 1/2 acre, my back yard is large and entirely closed in so it's safe and secure to let multiple dogs outside to roam, run, and play with no worries. I have a large run that I have completely cleared out for playing catch with my doberman so he can really stretch his legs and get going. I do let the animals in my house, and they will spend most of the time inside when it's hot, with frequent opportunities to go outside and play/ exercise. Inside if the dogs are playing together, I usually leave them to enjoy each other, otherwise I frequently engage with them with whatever toys they want to play with as the day goes on and they're not napping.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care and attention our little dachshund was given during her stay with Ana. Every day Ana sent an update with pictures. I would highly recommend Ana to care for your pet.”
“I liked that Jade invited us over the day before we dropped off Bella. She asked if I felt comfortable leaving Bella with her. I did. When I picked Bella up, she was not stressed at all. I believe all went well! Jade gave Bella a Bath. I paid Jade for that and gave her a tip. I will have Jade dog sit again if I need her.”
“Wrigley seemed to have a good time socializing with Erin and Stephen's dogs. She was well taken care of, and she liked Stephen a lot. She had plenty of space to run and play in their fenced back yard. I don't know how they kept her out of their swimming pool as she loves to swim. We will definitely use them again for dog boarding.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, frogs, rats. I love all animals and grew up with just about every type of pet you can imagine! I currently have two Pitbull/Staffordshire mixes. They are great friends and the best part of my life at home:) I work night shift so I would be happy to care for your pets on my nights off or during evening hours when I am home from work I have a fully fenced in yard for potty breaks. Any walks and home watches will be done with as much attention and care for your pet as possible!
About: I’ve always had an innate love for animals and have lucky to grow up caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. 🐾 I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have experience working with puppies, helping them learn good habits, build confidence, and develop basic manners through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I also understand that senior dogs often need extra attention, a gentler approach, and care tailored to their comfort and energy levels. Whether your pup needs playtime, help reinforcing training, daily walks, or your senior companion needs a slower-paced routine and extra cuddles, I’m happy to provide attentive, loving care. ❤️ I treat every dog as if they were my own and want every pet parent to feel confident knowing their furry family member is in caring, trustworthy hands. My goal is to make your time away easier by keeping your dog happy, comfortable, and well cared for! I’m currently in nursing school two days a week, but I’m available the other five days to give your pets plenty of love, attention, and care! My priority is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. 🐾 I follow each pet’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I tailor my care to each dog’s age, personality, and needs. For puppies, I provide patience, supervision, frequent potty breaks, and positive reinforcement to help encourage good habits. For senior dogs, I take a gentler approach, allowing plenty of rest, keeping walks at a comfortable pace, and giving them extra attention and affection. I make sure pets have access to fresh water, a clean and safe environment, and plenty of love and companionship. I’m happy to reinforce existing training and follow your preferred care routines to help your pet feel at home. I also love keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. ❤️ Every pet is family to me, and my goal is to make sure your furry friend feels happy, secure, and cared for every step of the way!
“Kim and her family took fantastic care of my very active dog Henry over the Christmas vacation. It was a relief that he was with a beautiful family when we were with ours. We will definitely be leaving Henry with Kim again and Henry is looking forward to it also:)”
About: Hi all! I am Lexi, a current vet tech of over 8+ years and extend my passion for animals to pet sitting at a reasonable price. I have always had a love for animals, and have showed this through continuous care and rehabilitation in my career. I want my clients to feel secure knowing their babies are safe and well cared for whether they are on vacation, at work or gone for an emergency they can count on me! My skills and devotion are not limited to just cats and dogs, as I have experience with all types of animals- reptiles, exotics, livestock etc. I currently work part time so the time they will be alone is limited. I offer drop ins at your home or pet boarding in mine. I have a very large fenced in yard for your baby to play and do business! As well as two other puppies to keep entertainment and activity alive. Crating/separating is not an issue as I have crates if needed and a spare room.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in North Port is $45

Catlyn was in excellent pet sitter! We were a little apprehensive as Shane had never been left alone since we adopted him last January. Catlyn kept us informed on a daily basis, even including photographs. Jane did gray and we will not hesitate to use Caitlyn again. Highly recommend!
5 stars, the best lovely dog sitter!!! She gave my baby dog a lot of love and attention, my dog just falling in love with her!!! She kept sending me all the pics and videos and to make sure I can see my baby every day, my dog follows her everywhere. There is no words to tell how much we love her!!! Best ever 👍
We couldn’t be happier with our pet sitter Nicole! She was caring, dependable, and truly treated our pet like her own. Communication was excellent, and we felt completely confident knowing our pet was in such good hands. We highly recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a fabulous, trustworthy pet sitter!
Conner and his family were very welcoming to our 2 pups. We knew at the meet and greet that they were the perfect fit for us while we were away for a week. We felt completely confident that that they would be well taken care of, walked and felt safe with Conner. Communication was great through out the whole process and pictures of them enjoying their stay. We would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone.
Starla took wonderful care of our sometimes unruly little morkie Maui. We were able to relax on our week long vacation knowing he was in great hands. Starla communicated with us regularly with pictures putting us even more at ease. We would highly recommend Starla to our friends and family. We will surely be using her services again.

Jalin was available on short notice, was flexible when there was a misunderstanding about the drop-off time I had requested,and sent pictures with little updates during Bailey’s stay. I never actually met her though,.. Her BiL was there for drop-off, and he and her sister Heather (and nephew, I presume?) were there for pick-up. They were all nice and friendly, as was there dog Luna and their kitten. I had brought Bailey in with her collar and walking harness on, and after seeing the harness still on her in 2 pictures, I let Jalin know it was just for walks and to please take it off when she’s just relaxing in the house. She agreed, but at pick-up, the BiL mentioned that he’d eventually taken her harness off and when I mentioned having requested that to Jalin, he looked surprised like she hadn’t told him.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in North Port is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 641 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across North Port. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
97% of sitters in North Port can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their North Port home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your North Port.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your North Port sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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 FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
