“Debra was great with our two dogs for a five-night in-home stay while we were away. She is very professional and experienced. Debra provided daily updates and photos which was so appreciated. She brought in our mail and an even a large package we were not expecting to be delivered while we were away.”
“Christine was fantastic! She was incredibly flexible and accommodating with our schedule, and she took wonderful care of Charlotte and Olive. We really appreciated the frequent updates, adorable photos, and excellent communication throughout their stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Christine again and look forward to having her watch Charlotte and Olive in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been a pet owner and pet sitter for about 20 years, and taking care of animals has always been a huge part of my life. My family and friends have always called me for their pet-sitting needs and questions, so I’ve pretty much been the go-to pet person forever! 😂🐶 I absolutely love animals, and animals seem to love me right back! 🥰 I have a dog of my own, and I’m currently home most of the time since I’m not working right now. I already help take care of a couple of pets here in our community, and I’d love to help more of my neighbors! I can come to your home to walk your dog, let them out, feed them, give them attention, or take care/stay with them while you’re working, traveling, or just away for the day. If you need someone you can trust to love on your pets while you’re away, I’m your girl🤗 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I have a dog of my own and have always enjoyed caring for animals. I currently have an open/flexible schedule and am able to accommodate a variety of pet-care needs throughout the day. My availability allows me to be dependable and attentive, while providing pets with the consistent care, companionship, and attention they need. If your pets are staying with me, they’ll have access to the dog park located right outside my apartment, where we can get plenty of exercise and playtime! I also have lots of dog-friendly toys and treats to keep them happy and entertained. 🐾 My dog, Honey, is very active and loving while also being calm and laid-back. She gets along wonderfully with other animals, so your pets will have a friendly companion during their stay. If I’m caring for your pets in your home, my priority is making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for in their own environment. I’ll follow their normal routines as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and love while you’re away.

“Montana took very good care of our bullmastiff. We really like that she lists her schedule in her bio. This makes it really easy to know her availability. Our dog Apollo really liked her.”
“Riya is excellent with Samspson. He is getting older and can be a bit stubborn but he was well cared for and happy. We loved how she adapted to his finicky ways. We highly recommend Riya and will definitely use her again”
“Filip watched my dog Tula for 10 days while I was out of town. He left the house clean, shoveled a ton of snow, and most importantly, took excellent care of my girl! Would definitely recommend Filip for your pet care needs. :)”
“Because of Lisa we were able to leave our almost 6 month old puppy without worry. She was competent in every way and even better, loving and caring with our pup. She sent many photos while we were gone the 3 days. We came home to a very happy dog and a very clean and neat home. Lisa will be the first I contact when I need a sitter again.”
“Allison was able to extend her care for my dog when my return flight was delayed. She came in clutch in an emergency. She is conscientious, caring and kind. She adjusted to the routine my elderly dog was used to so things stayed consistent for him. It helped out a lot and he was clearly happy and well cared for.”
“Celia is wonderful. My dog loved her and she was very good with her. She is reliable and my dog was comfortable with her right away.She loves animals. Grateful for her during a difficult time with a loved one in the hospital. Definitely will rebook.”
“Bailey was amazing with our dog, Murphy! He stayed with him for 4 nights and sent daily pictures and updates. We arrived home and the house was cleaner than we left it! Highly recommend!”
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 have five years of dedicated experience in reliable pet sitting and dog walking. My lifelong love for dogs is what drives me. I believe every pet deserves endless affection. I am highly responsible and guarantee that I will follow every instruction for your pet's routine, diet, and specific needs perfectly. I offer not just care, but genuine love. I am a full-time, professional pet caregiver. Since I do not work outside of this commitment, I spend most of my time at home, offering continuous supervision and endless attention. I am available every day. Your dog will love our outdoor space! We have a spacious, securely fenced yard that offers a safe and comfortable environment for playtime, sunbathing, and exercise. Safety is my top priority, and the fence is completely reliable.

About: I love animals as I have had about ten cats over the years and about four dogs. I have had pets since I was basically born. At one point I was looking into or was recommended by people to become a vet! I am at the moment typically free other than doing school work for college. I would be able to tend to animal needs pretty much anytime! I am often noted as attentive and disciplined, especially when it comes to others. For in home care I let pets do their thing (unless potting on things or breaking).
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds and temperaments. I’ve had my own American Cocker Spaniel and also grew up with a Boxer, so I’m comfortable with both gentle companion dogs and more energetic breeds. I also have a grooming certificate and worked as a dog bather in Virginia for several months, where I gained practical experience handling dogs, keeping them calm during grooming, and ensuring their comfort and safety. In addition, I volunteered at dog adoption events, helping care for dogs in new and sometimes stressful environments. This experience taught me how to read dog behavior, build trust quickly, and support dogs as they adjust. I am patient, attentive, and always adjust my approach to each dog’s personality to make them feel safe and cared for. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can easily fit dog walks, playtime, and visits into my daily routine, and I make sure each pet gets the time and attention they need. I’m also very comfortable maintaining a cat’s routine — including feeding, litter care, playtime, and quiet companionship. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets feel most comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning for cats, walks for dogs, and playtime or companionship based on their needs. I always take time to build trust with each pet, especially shy or sensitive ones, and I adjust my approach to match their personality. My goal is to keep them calm, safe, and cared for while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and pet sit for friends all the time! I love animals and love to hang out with them and keep them company! I’m currently working full-time at a coffee shop, but my hours are 6 AM–2 PM! This gives me plenty of time in the afternoons and evenings to care for pets. After work, I’m available to stop by, take them for walks, feed them, and spend quality time playing and keeping them company. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my biggest priorities are their safety, comfort, and routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, make sure doors and gates are secure, and keep a close eye on your pets while I’m there. I’ll also give them plenty of attention, playtime, walks, food, and fresh water as needed. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets and home are being cared for responsibly while you’re away.
“Leanna was great. She sent me a picture with a little summary of how things were each day. She seemed to genuinely enjoy being with my dogs. I will definitely book her on my next vacation.”
About: I have three dogs that are full of energy and have had multiple pets ever since I was a child! I dont have any children of my own and consider my pets as my children 😊 I understand the concern of wanting your pets to be watched by someone you can trust who will communicate with you effectively and care for them as if they are their own pet. I currently work full time as a pharmacy technician but I am available in the morning or after work for walks/ pet care. I also am normally off weekends and can work around schedules as needed. I am flexible to any needed care/ accommodations needed to take care of your pet and can also dispense medication to them if needed. I will make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Port
Lisa stayed at our house for over 2 weeks.. She was absolutely wonderful with our Maggie (dog) and Molly (cat) and her dog Cody and Maggie became great doggy friends! Lisa sent me pictures everyday, and was great with communication. She kept the house just like we left it, and brought in all the mail/packages and even watered my plants. Being overseas can be hard enough, but having Lisa watch our fur babies and staying in our home put my mind at ease. We would definitely use her again.
We did a meet and greet with Gretchen and knew right away that she would be a wonderful fit to watch our dogs. She was incredibly responsive and worked with our schedule, which we really appreciated. Throughout the day, she sent us pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to see how happy and comfortable our dogs were. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you so much, Gretchen, for taking such great care of our pups! We highly recommend her and will absolutely be reaching out again in the future. 😊
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Starla! From the moment we met, we felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in such caring hands. It was obvious when we got home that our pup was well loved, happy, and exceptionally well cared for. On top of that, our house was absolutely spotless—it looked just as good (if not better!) than when we left. We truly couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We are so grateful for the care, kindness, and attention Starla gave both our dog and our home. We would gladly book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate!
Connor was unable to fulfill a house sitting, but accommodated with boarding my Peter at his home, and even dropped him off after, which was super helpful when we were flying in late. Connor was responsive to all messages. I trusted him because he is a new teacher, and anyone who can teach kids has to be a good person! Thanks Connor for being flexible!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in North Port is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $78 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 821 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across North Port. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred North Port walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in North Port maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
