“Rosa and Hector were wonderful. They knew everything about Lucy and were caring, contentious, and on time. We would use them again! Our dog Lucy loved them!”
“They took such great care of Willow in our home! Everything about our experience was great. They always responded quickly and sent many updates with pictures. We would definitely book again!! Thank you 😊”
“Christine was amazing with our furniture babies and able to roll seamlessly with the craziness of our needs, including an ear infection just before we left resulting in the need to administer medications and assisting with our flock of chickens. Would definitely recommend.”
“Debra always takes great care of our 2 Maltese senior dogs. They love her and we feel they are in good hands with her. Beau needs medication and gives it on time to him. As well as baths to both. She stays at our house and it is clean and neat when she leaves. Would recommend her.”
“Hailey (and Nathan!) were absolutely amazing!! Thorough and caring, they are both knowledgeable on animal care, and clearly love animals! I would strongly recommend booking Hailey and will definitely be using them again in the future! Thank you for loving our fur babies as much as we do!”
“Allie was amazing with our Boxer, Cru, and we highly recommend her if you are looking for a great dog sitter. We would love to have her watch him again in the future! Lisa and Dave”
“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.”
“In general we’re very happy with Betty. However there was an occasion in which both dogs were out of our fenced yard and in the neighbors yard. Betty didn’t realize this and our neighbor brought the dogs home. Only happened once and not a big deal, but we were concerned. I will definitely use Betty again as she cares for the dogs well, they like her, and we trust that Betty will be more careful with the gates out of the yard.”
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.
“Catlyn was great-on time, lots of communication and photos! House was spotless when we returned from a weekend trip. I felt comfortable the whole time that our boys were being well cared for!”
“Brittany took excellent care of our rambunctious puppy Emmy and old man Gibbs. They both appeared very comfortable with her. She followed routines and communicated daily. She is extremely trustworthy and we will be utilizing her services again.”
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by nature and was raised by a mother who taught me how to care for our 180-pound Bullmastiff with patience, consistency, and love. Much of my childhood was spent attending dog shows and caring for animals, giving me years of hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a young adult, I had a beautiful yellow Labrador named Chance, who was my best friend for many years. After his recent passing, I've realized how much I miss the companionship and joy that comes from caring for animals. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to share that love while providing pets with the same attention, affection, and dependable care I'd want for my own. I'm also a freelance writer, which means I have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to accommodate walks, playtime, feedings, medication schedules, overnight stays, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. As a freelance writer, I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feedings, check-ins, or overnight stays, I'm able to accommodate a variety of routines. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I'm committed to making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I live in a beautiful, pet-friendly gated community with a securely fenced backyard where pets can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. My home is clean, calm, and welcoming, creating a comfortable environment for animals to relax and feel at ease. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I make it a priority to follow their usual routine as closely as possible. I provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, playtime, fresh food and water, and ensure they always have a safe, comfortable space. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs, so I take the time to help them feel secure, happy, and well cared for while their family is away.
“Christine was so good with our two boys (cat and dog), she made sure she gave them both love and attention and took Enzo for nice walks. We came home to a very clean house and are so pleased with her services we intend to use her again.”
“If you are going out of town and want the absolute best dog sitter by a landslide - pick Eni. We went out of town for 4 nights and she took photos and chatted with us multiple times a day to check in. I cannot say enough, honestly. I have never felt so assured and confident that everything with my dog and home would be in fantastic hands. Will book her again every time.”
About: I am 45 and have been around animals my whole life , especially dogs. I currently own 4 of my own. I am looking for ways to keep busy and help clients keep their babies at home instead of day camps. I can also bring my 3 year old frenchie Harley if your fur baby like other dogs I am available Monday through Friday from 8-4 Unless it’s for overnight care then I’ll check on them one last time before 9 pm I will treat your fur babies as I would treat my own Check In’s, walks, play time and I will always make sure they have fresh water
“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. :)”
“Tatianna took wonderful care of my dog while I was out for the evening. She arrived on time, then walked him on one of the coldest nights of the year, gave him treats, and paid lots of attention to him. I will not hesitate to have Tatianna come back again.”
“Dawn Star took wonderful care of my two dogs while my family and I were out of town for a long weekend. I came back home to happy dogs and a well cared for home. This was my first experience with a house sitter and found my dogs to be much more relaxed at the end of the stay compared to when they board at a facility. One of my dogs is very high energy, and the other is more reserved. Dawn Star handled their particular dynamics without issues. She also paid attention to my care/ instruction sheet and followed it to a T. I’m very happy with this experience and would hire Dawn Star again.”
“Jacqueline stayed overnight with my two cats. From our first contact she was so prompt answering messages. I’ve had other sitters and she is one of the few who actually showed up on time and was there when she said she would be. I returned to find my house in tiptop shape. I highly recommend her. She’s a real sweetheart!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in North Port is $60
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - North Port
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!
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.
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!
Evria pupsat overnight. She had a positive impact on mine and my daughter’s dog! Lily greeted her with a big smile; remembering her from our Meet and Greet weeks prior! Bentley is a scaredy cat and snuggled with Evria almost constantly. She followed Bs special diet flawlessly. She left our home immaculate! I highly recommend Evria to lovingly take care of your pets too!

FAQs for House Sitting - North Port
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in North Port on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
