“Christine loves what she does. The dogs recognize it, so do the dog owners. She is very reliable and always keeps me updated. I highly recommend her. She seems to have a natural ability with dogs.”
“Norah is truly the best! She goes above and beyond for our boys every single time. She even surprised them with their own balls for the dog park, which just shows how thoughtful and invested she is. Norah is always timely, incredibly communicative, and sends the best photos that clearly show how happy and well cared for our dogs are. We have total peace of mind knowing they’re with her. Thank you, Norah — we’re so grateful to have you!”
“This was our first time having Channing walk our dog and we couldn't have asked for a better experience! She was very communicative with us and caring toward Ollie! Highly recommend!”
About: I have 3 dachshunds at home. Two are seniors and one is a puppy. I also cared for my senior cat up until she was 17. 🤍 My animals are my babies. At home, I am described as a helicopter parent...(always hovering) making sure they are happy & safe. I have pet experience with medical conditions such as IVDD, diabetes, cushings, asthma, etc. I am familiar with all of the poisonous plants, foods, toxins in your home and dangerous wildlife in our area. I take the safety of your baby seriously, just as if they were my own. I am new to creating a Rover profile, but not new to pet sitting. I've been watching friends, family & neighbor's fur kids since I was in high school. work from home as a social media manager, so my schedule is fairly flexible. I rarely am ever out of town (away from my kids)- so more than likely I can look after your kids! 🐾🐶🐱 I like to treat animals as if they were my own. How would I want a sitter to be with my baby? Kind, patient, fun, and always safe. I don't mind texting check-in photos or a short summary of my visit. I am easy to communicate with and will be happy to keep a routine and do my best to follow instructions for your kids.
About: After years of caring for pets, I’ve learned that every animal has their own personality, routine and needs. I grew up in a household of cats and dogs. (Can’t forget about the fish too!) I take the time to make sure your pet feels comfortable and understood. I am currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups!! I am available for dog-walks and drop-ins. I am flexible and reliable. I always like to make sure I familiarize myself with your dogs surroundings and his/her home. I make sure to carry basic milk bone treats with me, as this usually helps calm situations. You can expect clear communication, updates and plenty of photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Haley was absolutely wonderful! She was punctual, friendly, trustworthy, and kind to my dog. She always took him for the full amount of walk time and was great about letting me know if he went to the bathroom. I would highly recommend her!”
“Eni was great with Chibi. He seemed very happy. Eni is very meticulous and really cares for your pup's well being. Really enjoyed reading the reports and the daily collages that Eni sent, gives you peace of mind”

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: Your Pet's Home Away From Home with a Lifetime Animal Enthusiast I'd be honored to welcome your beloved pets into my home! My life has been devoted to animals, starting on a ranch where I gained hands-on experience with everything from horses, dogs, and cats to chickens and beyond. As a retired horse trainer and long-time dog breeder, I bring a wealth of knowledge in animal health, behavior, and communication. I've personally trained service dogs for mobility, and I'm passionate about helping dogs overcome behavioral challenges. With your permission, I can address specific training needs your dog might have, such as potty training, leash manners, or breaking other bad habits, ensuring their time with me is both enjoyable and productive. Rest assured, your pets will be treated as cherished members of my family during their stay. Our home is a calm, adult-only environment, providing a peaceful and safe space for your companions. I'm available at anytime to make sure your pet is well taken care of. I have dedicated my life to animals and I love it. With many years of dedicated experience across a diverse range of animals, I offer exceptional pet care grounded in health, compassion, and understanding. My extensive background includes not only general animal well-being but also specialized expertise in handling animals with specific needs and successfully training dogs and other animals through positive methods. We do not have any small children or any children. Just adults that love animals. I'm committed to ensuring every pet under my care feels loved, safe, and comfortable. My flexible availability means I can accommodate your pets' schedules and individual requirements at any time. For larger companions, I also have several giant crates to ensure their comfort if needed. Dogs will be crated at night only if they need to be. If your dog is potty trained and can be trusted being loose in a house overnight then they will not be crated unless the pet owner wants them to be crated. Pets always have fresh water and are fed as scheduled by the pet owner. We do board cats and they are kept in a seprate area of our home. We have a very large lani and pool. Your pets will never be unsupervised when they are in our pool area. I have a very large screened in lani that the dogs can run and play in. I do have a small fenced area for little dogs. I do not leave the dogs outside unattended due to risk of over heating, escaping, cane toads, poisonous snakes and fire ants. I walk the dogs as many times as they need to, to go potty. I've been told by multiple pet parents that other sitters just put their dogs out in a yard unsupervised and their dogs were attacked by other dogs. I'm always supervising your dogs.
About: I am currently at Unity College majoring in Captive Wildlife Care and Education, and I’m taking online classes and one of them is called Animal Care and Basic Training. I enjoy wildlife. I do have a part time job at Metro Diner in Port Charlotte. I work at Metro Diner - Monday to Thursday 8:30am to 3:30pm. They might ask me to cover for some other co-workers but I will let you know ahead of time. For pet sitting I am available Monday - Thursday 3:45pm to 8:30pm. I’ve always had trouble with getting paid on Rover. I prefer Venmo, Paypal or cash. I take out my dog frequently, I feed him 3 times a day breakfast, lunch and dinner. I give him baths. And I take advice from my classes.
About: I am such a happy person who LOVES all animals and the more they play they more excited I am! I am very adaptable to your dog/cat needs. If they like to play, I will wear out every toy they own! If your furry friend likes to lounge around, I am absolutely okay with being a couch potato for the day! I am able to match your dog/cat personality and daily activities and enjoy it every second of the day we spend together! I promise that if you hire me you will see how I get along with your furry family member and all your worries will be set to ease and you will be able to see first hand how well I handle all animals! I am a Nurse who has some extra time on her hands looking to play, walk, or spend quality time with your furry friend while you are away! I have a varying schedule but I am always up front about my availability! I always ask for detailed schedules or information about your pets so I know what they are used to and can keep things the same while you’re gone so it doesn’t feel like anything has changed and can keep their comfort level roughly the same

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - North Port
Norah has been an absolute gem as our dog walker. From day one, she has taken spectacular care of our dogs, treating them with so much love and attention as if they were her own. She consistently went above and beyond, she even surprised them with new toys, which meant so much to us and clearly made our boys so happy. One of the things we appreciated most was how reliable she was. We could always count on Norah to be on time or she would communicate with us if she needed to make adjustments to the times of their walks, which gave us such peace of mind. And the biggest sign of her dedication? Coming home to two very tired (and very happy) pups every time. Proof that she truly spent quality time walking, playing, and engaging with them. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and genuinely passionate about animals, I cannot recommend Norah enough. She’s simply the best for your dog care needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in North Port on Rover is $16.65 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,376 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across North Port. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your North Port. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in North Port.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Port. On Rover:
- 94% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
