“I can't say enough positive things about Angela. She was able to accommodate my last minute trip. She kept in contact throughout the day, provided adorable updates and pictures. Even though I was out of town, I felt my animals were in good hands, and I had peace of mind. I'm actually looking forward to going out of town again because I know my babies will be well taken care of. Thank you Angela!! I appreciate you!”

About: I have cared for all size dogs for about 5 and a half years. I’ve adopted dogs for the day and cared for neighbors dogs. I have all the free time in the world now that I am home from college.

I can assure you you pet will be well taken care of following all of your instructions. I am currently disabled due to battling Cancer for the last 3 years, I am still actively receiving treatment so sometimes my availability is spotty, but I am ready to try to get back to some form of work on my terms . I was previously employed full time my entire life.

“Linda goes above and beyond. Very caring, compassionate with my Buster and Blondie. Buster had stopped eating and drainage from eyes. He was dying. She talked to him and put the phone up to him for me to talk to him. He waited for me to get home Monday. Tuesday I took him to the vet and he had a very peaceful passing. A million thanks to Linda fir all she does. Debbie M”
About: I've been taking care of pets for about 9 and 1/2 years. Two of the dogs I've owned have had epilepsy so I know what to do in case of a seizure, and make sure they receive their medications on time. I've also have owned two deaf dogs so I know the challenges that comes with them! While I haven't personally owned any cats, I'm open to to learning and making sure your cat is in good hands! I'm currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to take care of pets. At home, I personally take care of my three dalmatians whenever my mom isn't able to, but I still will have plenty of time to take care of your pet(s)! I always make sure to be gentle and caring with pets in either situations. Whether it's playing in the yard, or just snuggling on the couch, the animal's well-being is my top priority!
“Valerie did a fantastic job checking in on my kitty, Benny. I loved receiving her updates and seeing the photos of her visits. Great and very quick communication, I will definitely be using her services again when needed. Thank you for taking such great care of Benny!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs and cats, and I always tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I’m attentive, patient, and calm under pressure—whether that means helping with basic training, administering medications, or providing extra comfort for anxious pets. Every animal I care for is treated like family, with plenty of love, consistency, and understanding. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I’m currently a student and a proud member of my school’s weightlifting team! My schedule is flexible in the afternoons and evenings, allowing me to care for pets between 4:00 and 9:00 p.m. on weekdays. On weekends, I’m completely free and can dedicate extra time to walks, playtime, and cuddles. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure by following their usual routines and respecting their individual needs. In my care, pets are always supervised, kept in clean and safe environments, and given plenty of love and attention. I’m careful to follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided. Whether I’m in my home or yours, your pet’s well-being always comes first.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I truly love animals of all kinds and would do anything to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat each one with patience, kindness, and love—just like family I already care for pets as part of my everyday life, so adding additional pet care feels very natural to me. While I do work outside of Rover, I’m dependable with time management and communication. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention before and after work, and I schedule my bookings thoughtfully so every animal gets the care, routine, and affection they deserve. I’m very intentional about my availability and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. Mornings, evenings, and days off are dedicated to walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I always prioritize a pet’s needs while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I share my home with my own friendly, well-socialized 1-year-old dog and two cats. All interactions are carefully supervised, and I always follow owner preferences when it comes to introductions, space, and routines. I’m attentive to body language and energy levels to ensure everyone feels comfortable and stress-free. If a pet prefers their own space or does best with limited interaction, I fully respect that and can provide separation as needed. I maintain a clean, calm environment and follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions closely. My goal is to create a safe, loving atmosphere where pets feel secure and cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since day one. I do believe dogs should be treated like family and that’s how I will treat any that come over! Safety is my number one priority! I work from home so I’ll always be here fur your babies. They will definitely get enough love and care!

About: Hello there! I’m Kelly! I pride myself on being very open and communicative, especially with someone else’s furbaby! I know how hard it is to leave your pet, and you can expect a "love note" from them when you're away! April of 2016 I adopted an Australian Shepard--my copilot Marley. I quickly became "that dog woman." She goes everywhere with me. I started to take my neighbors two aussies with us on side adventures when their humans had to work. I took a lot of time to train my girl and we are working towards therapy dog certification to be able to spread the puppy love to local children's hospitals. I'm a graphic designer by trade which gives me the flexible schedule that I have! Love to draw and also an avid runner! In my off time i'm usually training or off adventuring with my Aussie and kiddos. I have a 2 and a 4 year old that are just as obsessed with doggos as I am! My dog loves people and other animals so much that I want to be able to the take care of dogs while their people are away or working. I know it puts my mind at ease knowing if I am out without my dog that she is safe, happy and having a good time. I want to do the same for other "pet parents." I work at night and during the day I’m living that mom and dog mom life. I’m mostly available for walks and possibly boarding in home if your doggo is pleasant and fits. I have a fenced in backyard with a shaded deck. Oh and a GIANT fan. We’re on our back porch often and it’s nice to have a break from the sun but still get fresh shady air!
About: I have over seven years experience working with an animal shelter doing vet assisting, rescues, walking, and caring for dogs and cats. I am located in New Port Richey, Florida, and can travel within 20 miles for dog walking, dog/cat check-ins, or house sitting. I have had foster dogs in the past. I have experience working with different sizes and breeds of dogs. I also have worked at a doggie day care. I have one cat, but have had all kinds of animals my whole life. I lead an active lifestyle and like to be outside- I have flexible hours and availability for dog sitting and dog walking, including holidays and on the weekends. Please also include anything you think I need to know in order to give your fur baby the best possible love and care.
About: I have a wide range of expertise. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, small mammals (Guinea pigs, rats, hamsters, etc.), and even birds. I also work in the veterinary field. I currently work full time at a veterinary office but love taking care of animals outside of work as well. I am home in the morning during the week and home in the afternoons on weekends. I have a fenced in yard, a dog and cat at home, and small children that will definitely keep your babies occupied! I am also able to accommodate special diets/restrictions and medications.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - New Port Richey
We cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience! From the very beginning, she went above and beyond. She came to our home a few days before our trip for a meet-and-greet, and within minutes we knew we had found someone special. She was incredibly personable, kind, and so natural with both our kids and our dog. It instantly put us at ease knowing Stella would be in such caring hands. Throughout our entire week away, she kept us updated with detailed messages and so many adorable pictures after every walk and visit. It made being away from our girl so much easier because we always knew exactly how she was doing. Unfortunately, Stella got sick while we were out of town, and that’s when she truly exceeded every expectation. She immediately stepped in, took Stella to the veterinarian, made sure she got the medication she needed, and checked on her far more often than what we had originally booked. She treated Stella like she was her own dog, and we will never forget the care, compassion, and dedication she showed during such a stressful situation. Even after we returned home, she reached out to check on Stella and make sure she was feeling better. That level of kindness and genuine concern is so rare to find. She is trustworthy, reliable, compassionate, and simply incredible at what she does. We have complete peace of mind knowing Stella is with her, and there is absolutely no one else we would rather have care for our dog. We will be booking with her for every future vacation, and we recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for their pets as if they were her own. Thank you for everything—you are truly one of a kind!
We are so lucky to have found Breezy here. Our first time using drop in services and we had complete peace of mind while out of town knowing our fur babies would be cared for in our home. Every drop in we received photos and details. Plus our dogs loveeeee Breezy. I’m pretty sure they could care less that we weren’t home because their new favorite person was there.
Lindsay was fantastic with Indie, Francine, and Pearl. She was punctual, attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and went above and beyond—cleaning up messes and making sure everyone was comfortable. We appreciated the personalized care and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommended.
I've lost track of how many times we have booked Karma and she has done a great job every single time. It's gotten to the point where I'm not sure we would ever leave town if Karma couldn't take care of our three dogs! :-) We were away for a full week this time and knowing the pups were in Karma's care gave us complete peace of mind. There is a reason (actually a LOT of reasons) why she is at the top of Rover's ratings!
Holly was super amazing with my girl! She came over beforehand just to meet my dog and try and be friends. She took the time to love her and was super patient. This was my first time leaving my baby with someone new and I was nervous, but Holly made it such a great experience! Thank you!!

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
