“Brittany did a great job coming to feed my cats twice a day while I was away. She followed all of the instructions well. Most importantly, she was very responsive and sent updates and photos which set my mind at ease. Thank you Brittany!”
“Jennifer was available last minute for drop in visits with my two dogs and I am so glad to have found her. She took photos of my “boys” and let me know everything was fine. Communication was great.”
About: We had a yorkiepoo for 15 1/2 years. I don't want one of my own right now, can't go thru that loss again, it was awful. I also have two daughters, family and friends in Ohio, we travel a lot and don’t want to be tied down with a dog of our own. I get my “fix” by watching others dogs. Due to a family member allergies, I can not board a dog at my home that sheds. We moved here from Ohio in 2021. I am not working and would love to take care, play or walk your fur baby or babies. We live in a sub division with sidewalks and walking trails for your dog. Small yard but no fence. Your dog will get lots of love.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and have actually pet sat for a few of my friends before whether it’s a bunny, dog or cat I can handle it! Most of my weekly routine consists of working part-time at a movie theater, going to the gym, and attending church and adult youth group. Outside of that, I have plenty of flexibility, so pet care fits naturally into my schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and I’ll always make sure they receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I promise to take them on walks and provide everything your pet needs no matter what it may be.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I’ve owned 6 dogs so far. I love animals. I treat them like humans. :) I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! My schedule is very flexible and I love dedicating my time taking care of animals. I care for pets in or at clients home just like I would treat and care for my own puppy. With love and discipline. I will make sure they are fed, given water, play outside, go for walks, and get belly rubs!
About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom and lifelong animal lover, which means your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day—never long hours home alone. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so I can provide personalized care and make every guest feel like part of the family. My home has a secure, fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, sniff, and enjoy plenty of outdoor time. Inside, they’ll have a clean, comfortable environment with lots of cuddles, playtime, and opportunities to relax. I do my best to keep your dog’s routine as close to home as possible, whether that means sticking to feeding schedules, administering medication, or providing extra potty breaks and exercise. I know how nerve-racking it can be to leave your pet behind, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is simple: for your dog to have so much fun that they’re excited to come back for their next visit. I can’t wait to welcome your furry family member into our home! My boys are now in elementary school, so I have extra time on my hands & wanted to help my husband financially. I also don’t travel much for holidays as I have a large family, so I am around for all your Holiday vacation needs! I follow good instructions, so whatever you say is whatever I do! Guaranteed! I have a big dog and a medium sized dog so I am comfortable with all types & sizes of dogs. I will also leave you a note in regards to everything that happens with your furry love.
About: I have been a cat mom and dog mom, so I am very equipped to handle all types of unique personalities! I know how to make them feel comfortable, and figure out exactly what they need. I currently work part time, so I am very available to prioritize your pets needs! I have a flexible schedule, and am eager to help! I want to treat your pet and your home with respect! Being a cat mom myself, I know how special our furbabies are, and will make sure they are well taken care of, and that you are kept up to date the whole time.
About: I've grown up always having some around me. From cats to dogs to every farm animal, I've had it. I also took part in the FFA and 3 years of agriscience and small animal courses. I am just getting out of high school, so I am looking for something part-time that I can enjoy doing over the summer before leaving for college! I understand how important it is to have someone you trust to take care of your furry family members while you're away. I take pet safety very seriously and follow all necessary protocols to ensure that your pet is happy and healthy during their stay. This includes maintaining a clean environment, providing appropriate nutrition, and monitoring their behavior for any signs of discomfort or illness.I take pet safety very seriously and follow all necessary protocols to ensure that your pet is happy and healthy during their stay.

“This is our 2nd time having Allie watch our dog and she did amazing with him again! Our dog can be hesitant around new people, but he seems to love Allie’s company and does so well with her. We highly recommend using her as your dog sitter! Very reliable and great with dogs! Always sends a picture after visits and is quick to respond to messages. Will definitely book with her again in the future!”
“Dee made going on vacation a little easier knowing my pups were well cared for. I have a motion web cam and reviewing the feed made me laugh. Dee spent time playing with each dog after they were fed. They seemed to have a good time. Hank seemed a little disappointed she didn't come by the first day we were back. Great sitter.”
About: I’ve had pets for the last 26 years. Two cats that lived to be 18 and 20 years old. I currently have one Australian Labradoodle three years old and two cats, Olive and Luna. I work from home so my pets get to go outside and enjoy love and attention during the day. I walk them for a few minutes during the day and ensure they can go outside when they need it. I don’t have a fence yard. I like to walk my dog with a leash. I don’t like to let my dog wonder around because in Florida you don’t know what insects or other animals could hurt them. I rather stay close to my pets to supervise them and ensure they are safe.
About: Hello pet parents. We are a family of four. We have a 2 year old as well as a 6 year old. They are animal lovers just like me. I myself love animals and had my baby for 12 years before he past with lymphoma. I grew up with cats and dogs and truly enjoyed the campion of both. I am very experienced with elderly dogs and medications as my pup had arthritis and in the end making him as comfortable as we could. We would love to take care of your babies and spoil them as you would. Hope to see you soon. I work full time in Punta Gorda but with the help of my husband your baby will be cared for day and night with tons of love. I have cared for pets for years. I have also taken vet tech courses online and worked for Suncoast Humane Society. I am a household manager by trade so I am very neat and organized and so are my kids.
“Booking with Kelli was the best thing we could have done for our pets while we were away on vacation. You can instantly tell she loves animals and instantly bonded with our two dogs and cat, taking the very best care of them. The schedule we set for our pets was very well followed, everything we thought they would need was provided and she went above and beyond on more than one occasion. If you need someone loving and trustworthy to take care of your babies, I CANNOT recommend Kelli high enough. I will trust her to take care of my babies in the future and you should too. Thank you again!!!”
About: Animals aren’t just pets to me. They are individuals with emotions, personalities, and needs that deserve to be understood and respected. I do not just watch them, I connect with them! I genuinely care for them and treat them like they matter, because they do. You can feel completely at ease knowing their happiness, comfort, and safety are always my top priority. As an animal rights advocate, I approach every animal with genuine compassion and awareness, tailoring my care to who they are, not just what they need on paper. Whether they are energetic, shy, playful, or sensitive, I meet them where they are and give them the attention and love that helps them feel truly safe and seen. You can trust me to show up consistently, follow routines closely, and create a calm, caring environment while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I structure my schedule to allow consistent time for walks, feeding, check-ins, and companionship. I generally maintain a flexible routine, which allows me to adjust based on each pet’s needs and the specific care plan we agree on. I’m intentional about not overbooking so I can stay attentive and responsive while pets are in my care. My availability can vary slightly week to week, but I prioritize clear communication and planning in advance to ensure expectations are aligned and your pet’s routine is supported as closely as possible. I aim to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment based on each pet’s routine and personality. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I follow your instructions closely while staying attentive to how your pet is feeling. In your home, I keep things consistent with their normal schedule so they feel secure. In my home, I maintain a clean, low-stress space with close supervision and attention to safety and care. I stay mindful during walks and interactions and avoid anything that could feel overwhelming or risky. I also provide regular updates with photos and check in if anything seems off so we can decide what’s best together. **I do not have pets of my own, but my roommates have pets in the other part of the home. They are well-managed, and I take care to ensure safe, controlled interactions. I can also keep pets fully separated at all times if preferred, using multi-barrier safety measures.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Port
She did an amazing job taking care of my dog! She was incredibly patient, attentive, and caring throughout the entire time. She kept a close eye on my pup, made sure all of his needs were met, and treated him with so much kindness and affection. She was also very punctual, reliable, and easy to communicate with. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!
This is the first time we have used a pet service for our girl so we were very nervous! But Gretchen was amazing and by the look on her face in pictures, Lexi really likes her! And….she ate and went #2, which she never does with even family watching her!! We will definitely request Gretchen again for our girl!!
Amanda did a fantastic job! She went above and beyond in caring for our dogs. Before booking with her, several people had canceled, but she was up to the task. Stitch had just started insulin injections shortly before we were set to leave him for a trip. She did a wonderful job communicating how everything was going and making us feel confident that he was safe and sound. We would rebook her in a heartbeat.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in North Port choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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 .
