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!
“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!”
“Savannah showed to truly care for our precious babies while we were away. She spent extra time with them, giving them love and treats. I appreciate her getting to know their personalities and caring for them accordingly. Thank you so much!”
About: I have dogs most of my life and currently have 2 dachshunds now. I work from home and have a large fenced back yard. My husband and I love dogs! I work from home Wednesday thru Saturday, and off Sunday thru Tuesday. I have a large fenced yard for potty breaks and play time. Morning and nightly walks. I have a fenced yard to keep your dogs safe and protected I have two dogs of my own to keep your dogs company and play with.
About: I have extensive experience volunteering at a dog shelter, where I spent several months walking various dogs around the facility and playing with them in a gated park area. Additionally, I have provided dog sitting services for multiple families, which involved visiting their homes several times a day to feed the dogs, take them outside, and spend quality time with them. I have also been around dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own. As a college student, I have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to prioritize pet care, giving dogs the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. I believe in showering pets with love and attention, especially when they are in a new environment. In my home, I dedicate a significant part of my day to my pets whether it's playing outside or snuggling on the couch. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I ensure they feel comfortable and safe by maintaining their routine, providing plenty of playtime, and offering affectionate companionship.
“Morgan was so great!!! Very attentive to our cat while we were away. Gave lots of cuddles and took lots of great pictures!! Very easy to communicate with and would definitely use again.”
“Reagan was amazing to us and to our dogs. This was our first time using Rover and she made us feel very comfortable. Communication was great and she updated us with photos daily. The dogs seemed really happy and well taken care of when we got home this evening so they obviously loved her too! We also had a couch that was unexpectedly delivered while we were away and she managed to get the heavy boxes inside without us even asking her to. So sweet! I can’t recommend her enough and will be using her anytime we go out of town in the future if she is available!”
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! I have my home office in the front of the house and doggy beds in there so they can be comfortable too! I have a fenced in backyard as well as a screened patio. I will also make sure any training you doing will be held up here. Play Time will always be supervised to ensure the safety of the dogs.
“Kayleigh is hands down the best dog sitter/walker of all time. She is very timely, organized, communicates well and truly loves my dog George. He knows her name and gets so excited with I tell him she is coming by today. I have referred her to many of my coworkers and friends.”
About: Hi! My name is Ashlyn Turner. I have been caring for animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up in a home with dogs, cats, and even some small animals like hamsters and reptiles! I now have two cats myself, which is why I love rover- then I can still get my puppy fix! While I am watching your animals I will treat and love them just like my own two (spoiled) cats I look forward to hearing from you and getting the chance to meet your fur babies! Why I love dog sitting I've had dogs ever since I was born! My house has never been dog free, and I never intend on in being that way! My experience administering medication Yes, I watched a dog who had a seizure disorder who I administered daily meds to. (I am also an RN, so i administer meds to people daily!) I’m currently taking a break from my job (registered nurse) so aside from when I’m away on a trip etc I am available full time! I do not have a fenced in yard, so this depends on the situation. I do have an empty guest room if the animal needed its own space!
“Sophiya was fabulous! I have a very shy cat, so she gave her the room she needed and was just there for her to make sure she needed anything. Will definitely will be booking with her again!”
“Ashley was amazing with our Sophie and even gave our kitty lots of attention! Pictures and report card as well! I will most certainly be contacting Ashley again for services. It’s great to know we can go away and not have to worry about our fur babies being taken care of!”
About: I’m the crazy dog lady that will ask if I can pet your dog as soon as I spot him/her! My passion for dogs started when I was very young and grows every day. Many people rely on me to watch their dogs and shower them with love! I am a full time nurse but I typically work 4 days a week. My weekends are mostly free and weekdays I’m available after 4 pm! If I have a day off during the week, I can be dedicated to your dog(s)! I have a big, fenced in yard that holds my super friendly lab and he is always looking for more friends to share the yard with. My dog literally smiles at me every day so I know I’m doing something right! My husband and I are both home a lot and would love to hang out with your dog! Your dog will never have to hold their bladder for more than 6-7 hours. I have a fenced in yard that all dogs love. I also live in a great community where I can walk your dog around the neighborhood. Dogs are also allowed on my furniture.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in New Port Richey is $20

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.
Christina is an amazing sitter! My foster white German Shepherd, Lolly, was not used to being alone, and I work four days a week. Once Christina came into our life, Lolly came out of her shell. I love when I come home and Lolly is so happy and has energy, and a pep in her step. Christina leaves thorough notes about their time together, what they did, and how Lolly was, including her bathroom breaks and water bowl refills. It's essential for me to know all of this because we're getting Lolly ready to be adopted. I can't say enough good about Christina. She is the best! Signed, Carol and Lolly
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!!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a New Port Richey stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 New Port Richey 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.

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

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.
