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.
“Lillian was so helpful! very last minute booking, she came and met our pup before we left and took very good care of him during her visits. 10/10 will use again.”

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.
“The sweetest sitter ever!!! We just moved to the area and were looking for a reliable petsitter for our two kitties - I am soooo happy to have stumbled upon Morgan’s profile! Not only is she super kind and friendly as a person, but she is true to her word and v reliable. We came home to our house in better condition than we left it, and I suspect our cats miss her company already 😂 she definitely knows what she’s doing and I cannot recommend her enough, I’m so thrilled to have a consistent sitter around for when we travel. Thank you times a million Morgan!!!”
“Betty provided drop in service for my pup Roxie for for 30 mins a day for 2 weeks. This was my first time utilizing Rover. Betty has such a kind, sweet spirit and you can easily tell within minutes of meeting that she loves animals! She was also flexible with activities requests that were modified due to changing weather. Roxie was thrilled to be able to play fetch in the backyard or go for walks (if/when it rained) mid day every day! Betty was very responsive and interactive by providing pics/videos during her daily visit. I will definitely contact her again when future needs arise!”
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! For most of my life I've grown up around pets. We always had dogs and cats, and while currently we have four cats I often house sit my mother's dog Honey. I have a passion for animals I hope to someday turn into a career. Just a side note while I am available weekends my time is limited to late mornings early afternoons due to transportation issues Currently I am unemployed and trying to get out of the food service industry. I have access to a vehicle if needed for house visits. I will happily take your furry friend on multiple walks, drop in to ensure everyone gets bathroom breaks, or even watch your cats if you're out of town. Typically for our four cats I take sole care of them. They are fed 1/4 cup dry food each 2 times a day and a can of wet food a day as well. Our cats are older so there's not much activity wise, however when Honey my mother's dog visits we usually do two walks a day. We also have a fenced in backyard for zoomies, full screened in lanai (with a pool which can be sectioned off) for post zoomies. When watching her overnight she gets herself a full bowl of dry food to graze on while receiving two portions of wet food throughout the day.
“Couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter. I got daily picture updates and great communication the whole time from Angelina, which made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My pet was happy, safe, and well cared for. Highly recommend and will definitely use again!””

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!
Barkley is shy with new people but he instantly loved Denise. She took exceptional care of my fur baby. I got lots of photos showing he was taken outdoors for his potty break, given food and water. She even took the time to socialize with him by playing with his favorite toys and petting him to give him lots of love.Denise even brought Barkley toys to play with. I highly recommend Denise and she is my only choice for my dog sitter and this was actually my first time using Rover.com
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.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a North Port stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
