“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!”
“Norah was quick to reply and set up a meet and greet! She was friendly and my boys warmed up to her quickly. She was happy to adapt to their needs and my requests and I feel that they are in good hands while with their new “friend”!”
“I can't say enough great things about Channing! She took such incredible care of my cat, Fergus, while I was away on vacation. I could truly relax knowing he was in the best hands. From daily updates to extra love and attention, Channing went above and beyond to make sure Fergus was happy and comfortable. She genuinely cares about animals and treats them like her own. I will most definitely be using her services again.”
About: I’ve had pets for the last 26 years. Two cats that lived to be 18 and 20 years old. I currently have one Australian Labradoodle three years old and two cats, Olive and Luna. I work from home so my pets get to go outside and enjoy love and attention during the day. I walk them for a few minutes during the day and ensure they can go outside when they need it. I don’t have a fence yard. I like to walk my dog with a leash. I don’t like to let my dog wonder around because in Florida you don’t know what insects or other animals could hurt them. I rather stay close to my pets to supervise them and ensure they are safe.
“Denise did a great job in visiting my two cats. She played with them and spoke gently to them. I’m looking forward to Denise having more quality time with them. Thank you so much Denise for watching my kitties.”
“❤️ Montana was absolutely excellent! She was wonderful with my baby boy Hudson. Sent me pictures every day. She’s also a great communicator and goes above and beyond if needed! This was our first time but not the last! Thank you Montana!❤️”
“Amanda was great! My kitty is very shy, but Amanda managed to get a photo of her for me. She brought in 2 packages that were supposed to be here before we left; and, overall, did a great job. I will try to get her whenever we go away, and I highly recommend her. Richard Hill”
“Eni was amazing! She came earlier in the day for a complimentary meet and greet to make us feel more comfortable and show her our puppy’s routine. She was very understanding and flexible with us as we decided what time frames worked best for our puppy. She kept us updated throughout the entire night and we felt at ease. Our puppy was happy to make a new friend! Eni was very professional and helpful throughout the whole process. We would definitely use her again to watch our pup!”
“Allie was so great with our dog Smokey! He is usually pretty slow to warm up to strangers, but Allie did so well with him and he was so happy to see her from the first visit on. We would definitely use her dog sitting services again! Very reliable, sent many pictures, and took great care of our dog while we were out of town!”
About: Hi! I’m Katie, a lifelong animal lover dedicated to providing dependable, loving care for your pets. I’ve had cats and dogs as part of my family since I was in third grade, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Through the years, I’ve gained experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and needs. While I currently have two dogs, I’ve also owned and cared for cats for many years. Unfortunately, my children are allergic to cats, so I can’t have them in my home anymore, but I still adore them and am comfortable caring for them. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I pride myself on being dependable, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while giving you peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I do work Monday-Friday from 8:00 am-4:30 pm. I can do a drop in before work and do a drop in after work and again in the evenings. On the weekends I am able to be more flexible with drop ins. I will take care of my client’s pets in their home and take great care of their home & pets. This includes cleaning up any messes the pets make while their parents are away.
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.
“Lisa is such a sweetheart & did such a wonderful job with Blue! Blue had a great time with her & she clearly cares about animals. She was so kind & would always send photos or videos of our Blue, it was so reassuring to see how happy she was & in good hands while we were away. We would higher her again in a heartbeat & highly recommend such an awesome woman! Oh, she also gives massages which were super awesome!”
“I had to stay out of town a bit longer than expected, so I was immediately worried about getting my cat check on. I chatted with Jordan in the morning, and she was over at my house caring for my cat only a few hours later. She sent me photos, and updated me every step of the time she was there. I couldn't have asked for anything more. I'll definitely have Jordon stop by from here on out when I can't be home. Thank you so much ?”
“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: Your babies will be cared for and loved just as if they were my own. I absolutely love and adore my pets and all animals. I have a super sweet, fun loving 70 pound vizsla/labradoodle named Jasper who is amazing and just loves the water, cuddling, playing catch and playing with other dogs. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your dog (dogs) for a day visit or long weekend. Please let know if they do not care for cats so I can keep mine put away. In my 20’s I worked as a dog groomer and boarded animals at my home (sometimes for a month at a time). They became family to me.. Then there is Zeke my 10 year old hairless (declawed) cat. He loves to be out on the enclosed porch mostly but loves cuddles on his terms. If your dog does not love cats I can keep him away, but he will probably stay away on his own. I currently work full time as a nurse but am off no later than 2:00 on Fridays. I am available for the weekends only from 2 PM Friday until Sunday evenings. (Everyone deserves a long weekend away)…I do have a lot of vacation time so there could possibly be other days also, please ask if you need another time or day and I will let you know if I’m available. I will keep my calendar up to date on my availability. I do have a small fenced in yard with plenty of tree cover for shade and a kiddie splash pool to play in. I do allow pets on my furniture and bed if they desire. I will separate the dogs when it is feeding time to assure safety. If your fur baby stays 2 or more days I will give them a bath at the end of their stay if you request it, free of charge let me know if any allergies 🛁

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
Tara did such a great job with Annabel’s care. She was thorough, conscientious, and went above and beyond to make sure my kitty had everything she needed. He communication was detailed and prompt. I will hope she is available when Annabel needs care in the future.
Amanda was absolutely fantastic and saved us in a pinch when another sitter stopped responding the day before our trip! She was so accommodating and took amazing care of our two kitties! They loved her right away and she loved them like we would have. She communicated so well and sent photos to update us and was truly pleasant to work with! So glad we found a sitter here we can trust! Will definitely be booking her next time we travel!
Catlyn was both professional and friendly. She followed directions to the letter and did a wonderful job keeping me informed daily. My Lily doesn't care for strangers but she really took a liking to Catlyn, that speaks volumes to me. I will definitely hire Catlyn again when the need arises. Thanks for everything Catlyn ❤️🐈⬛

The average cost for Pet Sitting in North Port on Rover is $18 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,420 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across North Port. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Port. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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 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.
