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.
“Betty is a delight! Ive utilized her multiple times over the past year (most recently this week) and never have to worry about Roxie! Betty is very responsive, punctual and always provides great care 🐶”
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: 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.
About: I’ve had pets pretty much all my life. Love them, they’re like my kids and brought me a lot of joy over the years. I currently have 2 labs ( one is a rescue and the other a co-worker really needed to find him a home so we took him in) and 2 cats so if you have cats I can care for them as well. My pets are all well taken care of, get lots of love and very happy. I have experience giving medications. Im a trustworthy, compassionate person who will give your pet lots of love. I’m available anytime Sunday and Tuesday. As for the rest of the days I’m available anytime after 2pm. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies.
“Lori was quick to respond to our late request (evening prior) and came over for a meet and greet a short time later. She is friendly, knowledgeable, and confirms all instructions! Made us very comfortable for our first Rover experience!”
“Jennifer was attentive and caring with our dog, Ben. She gave him the time and attention that we were looking for. Ben does not like being alone and she helped to ease his anxiety. Jennifer was in constant communication with messages, photos, and videos. She was also very fast to respond and answer questions. I would definitely use her again.”
“Debbie is awesome! Snoop loves her. She send me pictures and updates daily. We hope to continue to using Debbie weekly for a while ? she has made the transition of my dog going to day care everyday to now staying home so much easier.”
About: I am a dog lover. If you could own 10 dogs, I would! I have always owned and cared for dogs and would love to walk your dog. My 13 year-old chocolate lab/ pit mix went over the rainbow bridge last year and I loved taking him on daily walks. . I also have three cats. I am a very active person, so walking your dog would benefit me and your dog. When I first meet a dog, I am immediately in love with them. As long as their owner says it’s ok, i always stop to pet them and talk to them. I don't show any fear in approaching them and I think that helps them trust me. I have open availability.
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.

“Filip took great care of our 3 dogs while we were out of town! He was easy to communicate with and he sent pictures and updates for us. We appreciate Filip being available on such short notice!”
“I booked Kaitlyn for drop-in visits to look after my elderly kitty-cat while I was away. Kaitlyn was loving and caring toward my pet and was respectful of my house and my space. Kaitlyn really cares about providing good service, and she acted willingly to respond to feedback from me about my needs during the course of my trip. I would book her services again.”
About: I've had a dog for years, and before that I've had a cat for even longer so I understand how to take care of both of them and it's not a burden for me to take care of them because I love these animals! I work at bocca lupo and attend SCF, I'm just doing online school at the moment, but I'm generally available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, most Wednesdays, Some Sundays, and Friday nights and Saturday mornings. I will make sure your pet gets everything they need, such as the necessities like food, water, and time to go outside, and then I'll make sure it gets a bunch of pets and playtime! And God forbid something bad happens to it, I'll take it to the vet right away.

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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. 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 .
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 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.
To find sitters in North Port with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
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.
