“Jennifer took wonderful care of our Boston Terrier, Patton. He can be shy and sensitive at first, and she was very patient with him, gave him space, and let him warm up at his own pace. She followed his routine, kept us updated, sent pictures, and made sure he was eating, drinking, going potty, and comfortable. She also understood his needs around other dogs and made sure he had his own space when needed. We were traveling overseas, and her clear communication gave us real peace of mind. We are very grateful and would absolutely trust Jennifer with Patton again.”
“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 👍”
“Robin is great. It is the only place my dog goes willingly and isn’t running out the door to leave when we pick her up. So nice to have a trusted place when leaving our dog.”
“Our two frenchies enjoyed their stay with Jacqueline. Jacqueline has great communication and sent us several updates and pictures of our fur babies throughout our trip. She provided excellent care and love to the fur babies. So thankful to have a pet sitter that provided the same amount of attention they would receive at home.”
“It was so nice to have an entire family caring for my pup while we were in the middle of packing and moving. Bob loved having a little friend to play with! We were very happy knowing that he was getting love and attention while staying with his Rover sitter duo Heather and Jalin.”
“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.”
“Kathy and Roy are amazing. They took great care of Satchel while I was away. They sent several pictures every day along with a write up on what he did during the day. I highly recommend them for your pet care.”
“Claudia n her family were able to accommodate a last minute boarding for me. It was a very short stay but they took great care of Akira in a spacious home with a fenced yard. Will definitely use her again.”
“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!”
“I can't express how happy we are with Paige's care for our fur baby, Mochi. She kept us updated and shared how much fun he was having. It is so comforting to know that Mochi got to stay with someone that snuggled and loved him. We will be returning to Paige in the future and highly recommend her to anyone else considering! Thank you so much Paige! <3”
“Angela is simply the most dedicated, punctual, caring provider. My Henri loves to go to her home. She is extremely patient and kind. He is geriatric at 15 years old and I trust her completely with his care.”

“Brennan and Elizabeth were so wonderful to work with from the meet and greet until we picked up our dog upon our return. They are friendly, energetic and were quick to respond to our questions. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog in their care. We’d definitely recommend Brennan and Liz. Thanks for looking after Zoey!”

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.
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! :)
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 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.
