“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”!”

About: I grew up in a farm surrounded by animals, specially dogs. Our family consisted of my mom, dad, brother and at least 5 dogs at all times. Im currently a Medical Assistant. When I’m not taking care of my patients I like to take care of animals, as it brings me joy to do so. I will provide all the possible attention and love to all the pups! My goal is to make them feel like home and comfortable all the time.

About: I've had dogs my entire life and have always enjoyed the unique experience each one brings with them from their personalities. I have a large backyard of 2 lots fenced in together for my Doberman so that we have lots of space to play and he can really stretch his legs. He loves playing with other dogs and we are hoping to make lots of new friends, both with fur and without. I do most of my work from home, Sunday- Wednesday I am home all day, and I do have my 10 year old son after school on those days, but we go for multiple walks, and do playtime in the yard which is 1/2 acre and fenced in. On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, I do work but typically only 5-6 hours outside the home. If I am going to be working longer on a day where you're booked I will communicate that ahead of time. I have 1/2 acre, my back yard is large and entirely closed in so it's safe and secure to let multiple dogs outside to roam, run, and play with no worries. I have a large run that I have completely cleared out for playing catch with my doberman so he can really stretch his legs and get going. I do let the animals in my house, and they will spend most of the time inside when it's hot, with frequent opportunities to go outside and play/ exercise. Inside if the dogs are playing together, I usually leave them to enjoy each other, otherwise I frequently engage with them with whatever toys they want to play with as the day goes on and they're not napping.

About: I have taken care of family dogs my whole life and I currently have 2 dogs currently in home with me, along with one cat. I understand our pets are our family and I will always treat them like so! I can provide the basic needs that need to be met, and then some :) I work full time 8-4 on weekdays, but am available to do drop ins to walk your pets in the evenings after work, and have a very open and flexible schedule on the weekends! Providing care to pets goes beyond just providing food, water and walks, but also providing some quality attention and time! It’s the quality of the care that matters, not just care in general.

“Emily was absolutely amazing. My dog was sososo happy in the photos sent by Emily and I have never seen my dog happier in the photos sent from any other sitter. My dog requires a lot of love/attention and I could definitely tell that Emily gave her all of it while we were away! Emily even gave my dog a new toy that came in the mail AND cleaned up the mess.

About: We had a yorkiepoo for 15 1/2 years. I don't want one of my own right now, can't go thru that loss again, it was awful. I also have two daughters, family and friends in Ohio, we travel a lot and don’t want to be tied down with a dog of our own. I get my “fix” by watching others dogs. Due to a family member allergies, I can not board a dog at my home that sheds. We moved here from Ohio in 2021. I am not working and would love to take care, play or walk your fur baby or babies. We live in a sub division with sidewalks and walking trails for your dog. Small yard but no fence. Your dog will get lots of love.

“Jacqueline is absolutely amazing! I had her do drop-in visits for my pets while I was out of town for a weekend, and she did such a great job. She always sent me plenty of pictures during her visits, and I could tell from the photos that my pets were happy and comfortable with her. When I got home, everyone was happy and clearly well taken care of. It was really nice being able to enjoy my trip and know that my pets were in good hands. I would definitely recommend Jacqueline, and she will for sure be my go-to sitter for future trips!”

“Dee made going on vacation a little easier knowing my pups were well cared for. I have a motion web cam and reviewing the feed made me laugh. Dee spent time playing with each dog after they were fed. They seemed to have a good time. Hank seemed a little disappointed she didn't come by the first day we were back. Great sitter.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I’ve owned 6 dogs so far. I love animals. I treat them like humans. :) I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pups! My schedule is very flexible and I love dedicating my time taking care of animals. I care for pets in or at clients home just like I would treat and care for my own puppy. With love and discipline. I will make sure they are fed, given water, play outside, go for walks, and get belly rubs!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - North Port

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in North Port is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $29 per visit. 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 1,386 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across North Port. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in North Port. On Rover:

  • 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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.
