“Layla has a wonderful experience with Kimber. Layla has some special needs and Kimber was attentive a loving. Layla was so happy when I picked her up. Tha k you Kimber!!”
“Sophie's daycare time with Connie went perfectly. Sophie was happy on arrival and, though happy on my return to pick her up, seemed totally content to stay if she needed to. Connie's home is clean and as well-cared for as her canine clients. I'm so glad I found her on Rover and highly recommend her services.”
“Our original sitter canceled at the last minute, Joyce stepped up and saved the day. Mya has 4 other dogs to play with. Dropped off early, picked up late. Mya took to her right away and we felt very comfortable.”
“Koda loved his daycare with Tara. He had so much fun. Tara kept me in the loop all day with pictures and how he was doing. It is obvious she loves the fur babies and she takes very good care of them. 🥰”
“Robin eagerly welcomed my best little friend into her lovely home and kept me posted on how he was doing throughout the day. She is very kind and attentive. Highly recommend!”
“Teri is absolutely one of the BEST sitters that I've found on Rover. She is sweet, accommodating, and was really quick to respond to my messages. We've got an almost 4 years old, Goldendoodle and her name is Bella. She still has lots of energy and NEEDS playtime with her furry friends. Plus, I’m a firm believer in socializing her to different people. One of our regular sitters were on vacation , and the other one had an emergency to come up suddenly. So, I jumped on to Rover.com and was very fortunate to have found Teri. We live in Arcadia and we've got a pawnshop in Port Charlotte. We moved to Florida 4 years ago from Tennessee , and we still have family there. Well, I like to a Plan A, B and C for Bella's day camp and boarding options, just in case an emergency pops up or if we just want to have a date night then we have options for our girl 🧡 We will definitely recommend Teri to others and Bella will be returning soon, like on the next few days. Teri texted me updates and pictures throughout the day and she was very pleasant to text and talk with. She also teolf me that her husband really enjoy having Bella there as well. Bella loves to play with her furry friends a nd she usually steals the hearts of the sitters, too 🧡 And here's thec icing on the cake, Bella, came home and told me how wonderful her day was by smiling, wagging her tail and sleeping so peacefully last night and most of today as well. It is such a relief to know we have such wonderful options for our girl. We'll see Teri and Ken soon for more day camp and I feel very comfortable to leave Bella for boarding as well ❤️ That's such a huge relief 😊 Thank y'all so much for taking such good care of our girl, Bella!! We greatly appreciate it. They'll definitely be our go to for day camp and boarding for Bella ❤️🐶❤️”
“Jennifer was great. Very sweet and gentle girl. First time for our 15 year old dog with a sitter. She kept the pictures and videos coming all day, putting our minds at ease. The location was nice and her home is immaculately clean. We were able to spend a very enjoyable whole day away from our rental.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and love taking care of them. I will treat yours like my own, and be diligent to be aware of its unique desires and needs. I am home most of the time, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your furry friend! I love getting to know all the different kinds of animals that we bring in. I provide a safe a comfortable environment for your furry one. I live in a great neighborhood that is dog walking friendly. We have a sweet lab who is welcoming to all of the pets that we sit for.
About: I've owned dogs & cats my entire life. I helped in my brother's kennel, caring for & cleaning up after pitbulls, so "scary" dog breeds don't seem scary to me. :) I have cared for senior cats & dogs. I have experience in giving both medication, orally & topically. I have 8+ years of personal experience with rats, so I am more then happy to work with rodents & other small mammals! I have plenty of experience cleaning cages. I have experience caring for senior rats, as well as giving oral & topical medications. I have experience keeping freshwater fish. I know how to do water changes, replace filter cartages, vacuum gravel, comb sand, test water parameters, ect. I do not own birds, however, I have pet sat with them before. I currently pet sit for a caique & a macaw regularly. I have experience cleaning cages. I do not have experience giving birds any medication. I have limited experience with reptiles & invertebrates, however, I do not fear any of them. I am willing to learn how to care for both. Pet care is mostly what I do! I live with 4 cats, rats, and fish - If I am not caring for my pets at home, I am caring for pets in another home! I do pet/house sitting for four dogs and two birds at least once a month. I am comfortable staying overnight in a clients house, and if the animals need around the clock care, I can stay in-home without issue. When it comes to caring for other people's pets, I like following their instructions best! I love having rules, times, ect listed out for me. Does your pooch need breakfast at 7am sharp, with a sprinkle of cheese and 30 seconds in the microwave? Does your bird like to watch a sitcom before bed? Does your kitty NEED their favorite pillow fluffed in the evening? Does your older puppy relax best with a warmed up blanket? Well, just let me know and I'll try my very hardest to make sure your best friends are comfortable while you're away. Being away from one another is hard, both on the pets and their loving owners, so I enjoy sending photos of our fuzzy friends to their people.
“I found out the day before that I needed a sitter for my 8 month old, yet to be neutered, tank of a puppy, Apollo. Having previously left him with only family members, and only a handful of times, we were a little nervous. When we first got there, Apollo immediately seemed to feel comfortable, not even looking back at me. I received photos a few hours in, and when it was time to pick him up, Apollo was trying to climb into a lap (he’s 75 lbs), and was being praised as a love, cuddle bug! Overall positive, seamless experience and I would book again.”
“Taylor did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Hattie. She sent pictures of her periodically during playtime and walks. I would highly recommend her for doggy daycare!”
“Ana was amazing! We met her a couple days before and she and her dog Lex immediately connected with our pup, and then this morning when we went to drop our pup off, she happily trotted in the house to meet Lex instead of freaking out like she normally does when we leave her! She had a great day, we got a bunch of pictures, and she was clearly very happy when we picked her up. Very glad to have found Ana!”
About: Since our cocker spaniel has passed , I started watching and boarding many dogs within my neighborhood. I love animals , so your fur babies will be treated with respect and love !!! They will be in the safest care with me. I’m currently working from home so your furbaby will always have a companion to spend time with while your gone. They will be in good care. I take this very seriously as they will be treated as my own. I have a very nice neighborhood that’s dog friendly and has nice sidewalks to walk on. The environment is very safe and I also have a nice backyard that your pet can play in, as well my own home that is cozy and your pet would feel safe in.
“Thank you Floyd and Connie for taking such good care of Jasper today. Having a timid dog can be challenging and your patience and understanding with Jasper worked wonders!! We will definitely bring him back in a few months for another day care visit!!”
“Jeanne was great with my big and my little kids. She really cares about dogs and spoils them with fresh cooked chicken treats! I would definately recommend Jeanne for daycare and overnight!”
“We were very happy with the care Cosmo received from Barbara. She welcomed him into their home and treated him like their own. She’s very friendly and easy to communicate with. I will be using her again when the need arises.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in North Port on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your North Port commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 512 sitters in North Port, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
