“Absolutely the best decision to have Danielle stay with my boy. She was very attentive, send daily updates, and took amazing care of not only my pup, but my home! Highly recommend, and I will be requesting her assistance in the future.”
“Allie was PAW-some! She kept us updated at least twice a day with pictures and texts. In addition, she left the house just as it was when we left. I only mention this because we had an experience with another sitter that did NOT! This was our first time with Allie, but will definitely not be our last. I feel 100% confident recommending her to anyone reading this review.”
“Regina was great with my dog and cat and like others have said she left my apartment in better shape than when I left for my big trip. Will be passing on her info to my friends for when they need a sitter.”
About: I grew up with dogs at home so caring for them feels second nature. I’ve learned to read their moods, know when they need a walk versus a nap, and to keep a calm but enjoyable presence. I’m comfortable with dogs of any size or energy level, from chill seniors to super energetic puppies. I treat every pet like my own. ❤️ I work as a server, so my schedule shifts week to week rather than following a set routine. But that actually works in my favor for pet care. My days off are usually Wednesday and Thursday, and outside of shifts I have plenty of flexible time to check in, walk, and play. I’m happy to work around your pet’s needs rather than the other way around! I don’t have pets of my own right now, which means your dog/cat gets my full attention with no other animals competing for it. I have a fenced yard, so there’s a safe space for off-leash play and bathroom breaks without worrying about them wandering off. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.
“Velvet is amazing. She took great care of our fur babies and that’s not easy, they are quite spoiled:) So respectful of our home and kept our plants well taken care of. Can’t wait to have her in our home again!!! She’s a keeper for sure! Definitely Recommend!!!!”
“It’s very clear to us that Paige is a BIG animal lover! She treated our sweet girl with great care while we were traveling, and checked in with us each day with photos of her adventures. We’ve already rebooked Paige for dog sitting.”
“Abby took care of my furry friends when I had to make an emergency trip to New Mexico. My cat who normally hides for at least 3 days, was out and about the night I left! I wasn't sure if they would come back to me.”
About: I've taken care of pets most of my life. I am starting to gain expert/professional experience. I absolutely appreciate and love time spent with animals of all sorts I have plenty of time and an open schedule. As I am new to Rover, I am excited to start this journey. I look forward to serving your family! I have a fenced in yard. I can crate your pet. I will spoil your furr baby; as long as you're happy with doing so.
About: Ive taken care of dogs that range from chihuahuas to pit bulls, including dogs that have had past trauma. I’ve learned to understand how to care for them in the best, most loving way possible. I work in the sports industry so in the offseason is when I have the most free time. This summer is when I’ll be able to devote all my time to taking care of furry friends! I have a backyard with shall and turf that furry friends can use to play or use the bathroom. I also have a two story town home where they can roam and play as needed
“My dogs loved Jenelle and so did we! We could tell from the interactions that they were in very capable and loving hands. Throughout the stay, Jenelle sent numerous photos (and texts) of her playing,exercising and cuddling with both Ivy and Harley We left detailed instructions for the care of our house and pets which she followed to our greatest satisfaction. Our house was spotless when we returned and both dogs were happy and content We have finally met a very responsible and affectionate young lady that we can entrust with the care of our home and pets to. We plan on hiring Jenelle in the future and highly recommend her services. When it comes to trusting the care of both home and pets to someone and having peace of mind in doing so, we have been truly blessed with Jenelle. 🙂”
About: Although most people see this as a job, i see pet-sitting as a fun and exciting opportunity to make new friends all with their own personalities:)! Seeing as i don’t really find myself going out much now-a-days, pet sitting seems like the only right option needed to be taken way sooner. I believe in everyone having their own schedules for their babies, so i try to keep their routines to allow more comfort for all parties.
About: I been around and had a dog for most of my childhood. I would feed and walk my relatives dogs when they were away or busy. I do have a full time job, but I want stay busy and have a side hustle. Plus, caring for animals give me joy ☺️ I prefer to take care of your pet in the comfort of your home. A place for your pet that is familiar to them to feel comfortable.
“Nina is a wonderful sitter for my two furbabies. They are so happy to see her and are melancholy when she leaves. She follows my directions and is flexible with changes. I’m always at ease when she is with my girls.”
“I was grateful to find Giselle P. to watch my three dogs over three days. I highly recommend using her! Her professionalism, care, punctuality, and communication were all on point. She continued with my dogs typically routines as communicated (feeding, etc). I have an elderly dog that requires more needs and she cared for her as I would- washing linens and keeping her wound and bed tidy! She maintained my home and kept it an immaculate throughout her stay. Sent me texts and pictures throughout the day of the pups to alleviate my anxiety of leaving my dogs! This was the first time I used her, but would hire her again.”
“Kara saved the day for us. We had a family member set to watch our pets and they fell ill. Very last minute, she was able to swoop in and take on my crew. She did a wonderful job with them! Everything was as it was when we left, if not better! The dogs were well loved and so were our guinea pigs. I’ve had sitters in the past that leave the dogs in their crates for long hours and she never did that. She even stayed later to be sure they didn’t have to be alone long. We already have her booked to use her again in October, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. Thank you Kara!”
“Alexa was fantastic. She stayed at our house with 4 dogs for 4 nights and we can tell they were well loved. We were kept informed of how they were doing periodically, which put our mind at ease and allowed us to focus on our time away. I highly recommend Alexa.”
“Jillyn is an incredible dog sitter!! She took great care of not only my pup but also my home. I didn't worry about a thing while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend Jillyn and she will be the first person I'd reach out to for my future dog sitting needs!”
About: I have had small dog and large dog experiences. My first dog’s name was Roma, and she was a very small dog of about 10 pounds. She was a Coton de Tulear. I have also walked American Bulldogs, German Shepherds and Boston Terriers! I love walking a variety of animals! I also love cats! I’m currently working full time so I have time to walk dogs between 12pm-1pm on weekdays. Monday through Friday I am available from 6:30pm-8pm. I am also available most Saturdays and Sundays, for walks. I would be happy to have new pets in my home! Mostly I am happy I do walks, and have fun with the dogs! I have a positive attitude and love animals!
“Victoria was great! Highly recommend her. She was super sweet to my pups and they sure loved all the attention she gave to each one of them. Very communicative and kept me up to date by sending me pictures of my babies.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 384 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Port LaBelle. 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 Port LaBelle 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 Port LaBelle 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 Port LaBelle 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.
