“Ashley has been walking my pup for almost two years and she is incredibly reliable. She informs me if my pup is acting oddly and also goes above and beyond to give her a second walk if I have to stay late at work. My pup and I highly recommend Ashley!”
About: My name is Sarah and I have been walking and dog sitting for the last 20 years. I have also boarded dogs on select occasions while the owners are on vacation. I am an active person and enjoy running with active dogs. I have raised puppies all the way through their old age. I often find myself rescuing dogs and finding loving homes for them after ensuring their health. I currently help 3 different people with watching their dogs and often volunteer with a local dog rescue. I currently have two dogs of my own, a Husky/ Cattle Dog mix and a Doberman Pinscher. Prior to my current dogs I have owned German Shepherds. I also own three chickens and have raised other animal species to include birds, fish, turtles, rabbits, lizards, ducks, and an abandoned baby opossum. I work a full time job Monday-Thursday 7am to 5pm so those days I only accept evening appointments. I work a full time job Monday-Thursday 7am to 5pm so those days I only accept evening appointments. I care for my own two dogs, one which is senior requiring medication and special care so I can easily work special needs into your care too. My husband also works from home so if a dog is staying with me, it will rarely be alone and always able to have outside time as needed. I treat other dogs how I would want my dogs treated. I am extremely respectful of other people’s homes, knowing it can be very uncomfortable, allowing strangers into the home.
About: I have had multiple dogs over the years from puppies to seniors. I recently lost my 18 year old hound. My experience with him gave me a lot of experience with senior dogs. Loss of mobility, dementia and seperation anxiety. Pre Covid I had a small home business walking and caring for other's pets. Caring for you pet is my only job. My goal is to have your pet feel as safe and comfortable with me as they do with you. I recently retired and have a wide open schedule. I am very flexable with few if any commitments in my private life. Early and late hours are available I will treat you pet as if they were my own. I have the utmost respect for clients home as well as their pets routine and needs
About: I've taken care of a variety of different breeds, I am very active with the dogs. I have 3 years dogs training experience. If you struggle with a fussy high energy dog, or just want your pet to follow basic commands, I'm the sitter/ walker for you! I'm available full time 24/7. I do not require much notice. I'm very flexible with different schedules. I try my best to accommodate dog parents and dog needs. I live on a large 2 acre farm with my husky plenty of room for running. I also take the dogs (with permission) to a large near by open space dog park.
About: I’ve taken care of pets ranging from young adult to senior age. I rescued a feral kitty with major injuries, worked with Tampa Bay Humane Society to take care of her health concerns, and officially adopted her in 2024. I have experience with caring for pets with seizures, needing diaper changes, having specific dietary needs, and more. I’m available any time, currently I have a lot of free time so I’m able to give your pets the attention they need even on short notice. I have a cat in one hole and multiple dogs in another and I give them whatever they need to be happy with me, in my clients home I do exactly as is needed
About: What makes me different? I'm reliable and have my own transportation. I have a rescue cat and a long haired German Shepherd that are both treated very well. I've almost always had dogs and cats of all kinds! I also once owned a horse where I did dressage, show jumping and eventing. I understand what it feels like to leave your animals in someone else's care, and I also feel it's important to leave the pet owner informed along the way. I am comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, large breeds and cats of all kinds. I can provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box care, basic brushing, routine oral or topical medication when clearly instructed and can provide plenty of attention. I understand that good pet care is about much more than putting on a leash or filling a food bowl. Pets have routines, rules and individual needs. I'm comfortable following detailed feeding and walking schedules, caring for pets who are sensitive to the Florida heat, adjusting activities for puppies, seniors and pets with physical limitations or other special considerations. I'll follow the routine you establish for your pet rather than changing what already works. My Army background taught me the importance of being dependable, following instructions and showing up when I say I will. Those qualities matter even more when someone is trusting me with both their pet and their home. I've lived in the New Port Richey area for six years and am active in my local community and city government. I make my own schedule, which gives me a lot of flexibility for walks, feeding, potty breaks and drop in visits throughout the day. I intentionally keep my service area small, so I can spend my time caring for pets rather than driving all over Pasco County. I especially welcome families in the Gulf Harbors and Sea Forest neighborhoods as well as pet owners west of US 19 and downtown New Port Richey. I don't like seeing a pet sitter who lives so far away from the pets in their care. Send me a message if you'd like to meet me and where I could meet your furry family member! I am retired and active, so I can easily accommodate when you need pet care. I love to care for pets and walking dogs is a favorite activity. If your dog doesn't walk, I can also happily push a stroller:-) As a former military officer, trust is SO important to me. I have used Rover myself for about 15 years on and off for my own pets, especially when I was new in town and did not know anyone. I've been lucky to always have a good experience, so plan to offer the same security that your pet is in good hands!
“Meet & Greet went great! Rada is was so nice! 10/10 recommend. She was so friendly with the dogs right off the bat, sat right on the floor and got to know them. Walks seem to have gone great! Booked relatively last minute and she was super accommodating/ flexible. Right on time as planned and dogs seem so happy / content which is all I can really ask for. Knowing they are taken care of the way I would take care of them, or even better, is such a relief. Definitely planning to book more frequently.”

Highly recommend Laura for all your pet needs. She is wonderful!!”

About: Taken care of many different dogs in various shapes, sizes, and breeds. As a dog owner, my dog and I went through all the training to help her receive “Canine Good Citizen.” I utilize positive reinforcement and appropriate walking etiquette. Remote worker, so my evenings are weekends open to care for your sweet fur family member. During the day, I focus on my fur babies. As a dog walker, I allow the dog to sniff and take their time to navigate before moving too quickly along. Upon first meeting, I take the time for the dog to warm up. Lots of patience and love… and maybe treats if allowed.
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.
About: I’m not just your regular pet sitter, I’m a cool pet sitter! Welcomed with love, I’ll care for your animals like they are my own. My routine is pretty simple and usually revolves around the care of my child and your pets! I work from home as a social media manager :) I’ve cared for animals all my life from dogs and cats to exotic pets and farm animals, and have knowledge on how to keep your pet safe in my home and on walks.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

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 walker.
