About: I’ve had animals of all kinds my whole life. I’ve volunteered at the humane society to walk big and difficult or hard to adopt out dogs and help get them adopted. I’ve walked Llamas and pigs and I’ve babysitting a sugar glider and pot belly pig, that’s the last thing unique sitting experience! My last dog was a bull terrier who lived to be 16 and he was my first baby. My current love is my 3 year old Merlegreat Dane names Zeus and he is a Completely hilarious pup! Bull terriers and Great Danes are a unique breed but so much fun and it brings me so much joy to be around animals and help them in anyway. We also have a hedgehog named Tiger Lily and two chickens Daisy and Fluffy butt, free range. Love my little crew! I’m a stay at home mom and a retired Marine veteran. I have nothing but time during the week to help out and possibly weekends depending on the date and time. I can crate them if need be, walk, play, feed, bathe and watch over your pet drop off at doggy day care or play at the dog park if they’re up for it! I’m experienced in large strong breeds as well as tiny little guys!

About: Hello, My name is Amber. I have pet-sat a variety of pups ranging from 1 year old, to 13+ years old. Growing up, I always had cats and dogs to love and take care of. Animals have always had a special place in my heart, especially Dogs. Dogs are caring, genuine, and compassionate creatures that I would rather spend my time with than most human beings. I work remote so I am always readily available to tend to your pups needs. I have a fully fenced yard and also 2 pups of my own to keep yours company. We have lots of toys and space for your pup to enjoy. I work remote so being available and home all day allows me the time to give your pup(s) the attention they need! This allows for flexible drop off and pick up times as well. I have a fenced in yard and also a pup who loves to play. If your pup is crate trained I have no problem crating them and following their normal daily schedules.

“She was very good with my fur baby today was super hot so my callie didn't get it long, walked, but she took her out for a little walk, but the fact that she was concerned that she was getting overheated really touches me because my husband worries about that all the time, we will definitely be using her again”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have one of my own. Sadly I am allergic to cats so I can't watch them. I am available on the weekends to dog-sit or take them for walks / play dates. I'd like to meet the dog(s) before dog sitting or walking them so we can get a feel for one another. Your dog will be treated like my own baby.... Spoiled rotten. I'll to give you updates and let you know when I'm in and out of your house and how your baby is doing. If your baby has an accident that's ok it'll be cleaned up before you get home. I want this to be an enjoyable experience for you and your pooch.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have experience caring for animals of all ages and personalities. I currently have a well behaved 3 year old Golden Retriever and an outdoor cat who loves his life and his momma. I also pet sit for friends’ senior dogs and enjoy helping strays, so I’m comfortable with both puppies and older pets. I love giving pets the attention, care, and playtime they need to feel happy and safe, and I would be thrilled to care for more furry family members! I’m a loving, reliable pet sitter who treats every animal like one of my own. Whether I’m providing drop in visits, walks, or home care, I focus on keeping your pet happy, comfortable, and entertained. This can include walks, playtime, enrichment activities, potty breaks, feeding, and lots of affection.. whatever best fits your pet’s daily routine. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels, including my own Golden Retriever, so I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved when you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available throughout the week with plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I work locally and spend a lot of time at home, which allows me to give them consistent attention and routine. My goal is to provide dependable, professional care while making sure your pets have a fun, stress free experience every time. I provide loving, attentive care whether I’m in my home or visiting a client’s home. I make sure pets get plenty of playtime, walks, cuddles, and mental stimulation. I follow any specific routines or instructions from the owner to ensure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care.

“Eva did a wonderful job dropping in on our cat, Mako. Beyond making sure he had food, water, and a clean litter box, she took the time to play and cuddle with him. Eva sent a descriptive update and a photo with every visit. It was so nice to know he had someone to look forward to each morning!”

About: I am a current psychology student at GCSC , planning to apply my degree as an animal trainer. I have completed 2 marine mammal training internships and 1 seasonal aviculture position in a professional care setting. Growing up we had cats in the home but I grew up around dogs pet sitting for my childhood neighborhood. Additionally I have worked at a Pet Supplies Plus location gaining exposure to small mammals, reptiles and fish. Outside of school I currently volunteer with Ocean Connections , working with Labrador Retrievers , Macaws and observing California Sea Lions. As a mostly online student I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide services at your convenience! I currently have availability Monday + Wednesdays before 11 or after 12:15 , Tuesdays + Thursdays after 10:15 am & all day Saturday. Currently on Sundays I volunteer with a local animal rescue from 8-1 pm but am able to clear availability if given reasonable time to accommodate! I pride myself on being a diligent individual who takes the safety and integrity of the animals in my care as my upmost responsibility. With experience working in professional care environments checking even the most mundane things twice is second nature to me.

“During our meeting before the actual booking, Megan asked questions about our cat's behavior. She learned about his likes and preferences. She spent time making sure she did those special things with him which we and our cat appreciated. Megan is kind and knowledgeable about animals. We will book her again.”

About: My undergraduate studies in Animal Cognition first brought me to Florida six years ago. I instantly fell in love with the sand, sun, and ability to truly live an outdoor lifestyle. And, it only gets better now that I get to share all these beautiful things with my rescued GSP pup! I have dedicated my professional career to studying the behavior of animals, whether it's marine mammals, horses, or our beloved canine companions. I have recently found myself returning to my passion for dog training and personalizing everyday routines to best suit my clients. Just like many of us paw parents, our pets equally benefit from consistency and familiar support. Taking this extra step to understand your pet's day-to-day routine and specific needs is how I plan to ease you both while you enjoy your time away. Don't worry, we plan on enjoying our time together too as we play, snuggle, and maybe sneak an extra treat or two! Just like you would if you were home 😉 PLEASE NOTE: *A scheduled MEET & GREET with your pet(s) will be REQUIRED prior to finalizing any services. *I have a FULL-TIME job and cannot guarantee midday potty breaks for most bookings. *I currently DO NOT offer boarding or daycare services. I am currently employed FULL-TIME during the weekdays. I am most available to help in the early mornings, evenings, and for overnight stays. Depending on the location of your residence, midday potty breaks may be feasible. I can always provide personal recommendations for daytime sitters/walkers upon request! I DO NOT offer boarding in my home at this time! My rescue pup is focusing on building his confidence, but continues to make friends everywhere we go. I hope to offer in-house boarding services soon. When applicable, vaccination records and references will be required upon booking.

About: I feel that you need patience’s to take care of any pet. I treat my fur kids like they are my babies. So I will have no problem treating yours like that too. I will make sure your baby gets the attention and love they need when they are with me. I will look after them very carefully. I have been in the animal industry for about 5 years. I was a manager of a boarding kennel before I moved to Lynn Haven. So I have plenty of experience with all the furry babies. I know how scary it is to find a sitter on Rover because of all the horror stories. But I am not one of those sitter your fur babies are my top importance. I used to work for a kennel so I understand how pets can act with strangers. I currently do not have a job so I am at home with my fur babies 24/7. So I will make time to make sure I go over and spend time with your fur babies. Make sure everyone is okay & give daily updates on them. In my clients home I will make sure that every fur baby is good to go with all the essential necessities that they need. I will also be bringing along some appropriate treats just so when they see me they will be happy to see me.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Southport on Rover is $19 per visit as of September 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 per visit. 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 September 2026, there are 355 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Southport. 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.

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 Southport 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!

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.

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 Meet & Greet .

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Southport with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
