“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.”
“Brandie was amazing for us and our pup! We were gone for 8 days, our longest trip without our dog and Brandie did such a good job with sending us pictures and updates. She also took care of my large amount of house plants, which was a huge bonus. Highly recommend booking with Brandie!”

“You’ll love Charles and your pets will too. Our new puppy was sad we left him for a few hours, but Charles was there for him. While we were away we checked in, and Charles promptly replied and even sent a photo. Hire Charles- you will be glad you did.”
“Jill is the best!! She stayed at our house to watch over our large golden retriever, and took such great care of him and the house while we were away. We will definitely rebook with Jill!!”
About: If you're looking for someone who will genuinely enjoy taking care of your pet and not simply "watch them"-youve found her!!!!! I have over 15 years of experience caring for all animals, and I absolutely love their company. I work from home only a few hours a week so your fur babies will get lots of attention and have all their needs met! I have a very calm and cozy home with no one home but myself. A fenced in large yard where they can safely play sunbathe and sniff around comfortable. I have a medical background so am comfortable administering meds.and caring for their extra need or needing a consistent routine. Every fur baby is different an I will adapt to each of their needs. My goal is treat all fur babies big or small young or old as if they were part of my family...loved and cared for. I recently moved to the SWFL area from Cali. No children or spouse, just myself in the home. I work from home only a few hours a week so I can provide all the attention, care and needs for you and your pet. I have a home with a large fenced yard. Currently have zero pets at home so they will have all the attention. I am able to follow whatever routine that you have for your fur baby.
About: As long as I can remember I have loved being able to help others out by watching their babies. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and genuine care for every child I work with. I take the time to understand each child’s personality and needs, while keeping them safe, engaged, and comfortable. I’m dependable, communicative, and always aim to give parents peace of mind. While my kids are at school, I have plenty of time to provide attentive and loving care for your pets. I understand that some pet owners may feel more comfortable having their pets cared for without children around, especially if their pet is nervous or fearful of children. During school hours, I’m able to focus completely on your pet and make sure they receive the care, attention, and comfort they need in a calm environment. I always follow the care instructions and routines provided by each pet owner. If you have a specific list of rules, feeding schedule, medications, activities, or boundaries for your pet, I will make sure to follow them carefully. I’m happy to play, cuddle, and spend extra time with your pet if you’re comfortable with that. However, if your pet prefers their own space or you would rather I only provide the care they need, I will completely respect that and never force interaction. For overnight care, if your pet is comfortable staying in their own home, I can travel back and forth as needed to let them out, feed them, and make sure they’re doing well. If you’re comfortable with your pet staying with me instead, I can bring them into my home and keep them completely separated from my children so everyone stays safe and comfortable. My priority is always following your preferences while making sure your pet feels secure, cared for, and respected.
About: Hi my name is Karyn I’m a pet lover since birth and I’ve been professionally caring for pets for the past 6 years. Looking back on my childhood I don’t remember a time where I haven’t had a animal. We’ve had turtles, dogs, cats, fish, ducks, chickens, and hamsters. I have a History of working with pets of all ages & providing a variety of medical care to special needs pets. Pet care doesn’t feel like a job it’s definitely a calling. Due to my flexible work schedule I have a large availability to care for all of your pets needs and set aside time to play with your furr baby. Unfortunately I do not offer in home boarding at this time. That may change soon but as of now I only offer pet sitting and in home visits.
About: I’ve grown up around pets and have plenty of hands on experience caring for them. My family has 3 dogs and a couple of cats, and I’ve also dog sat and cat sat for other families. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets lots of love and attention while their owners are away. My schedule is very flexible, as most of my classes are online and I only work a part time job. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my routine. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they are with me. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I make sure to follow their routines, pay close attention to their needs, and provide a calm and loving environment. My goal is for both pets and their owners to feel happy and comfortable while they are in my care.
“Angelina was awesome. She did a great job looking after the house and taking care of my fur babies. She is very mature and respectful for a young lady. I would not hesitate using her again. Very highly recommended.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 387 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 , 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.
