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.
About: Hey neighbors! 🌼 We all know the feeling: the schedule is packed, but your furry friend is itching to explore the world. Since I grew up with two dogs of my own, I truly miss that daily "dog energy" and would love to put my experience to good use by keeping your pup active and happy!🥰 Whether you have a high-energy zoomie-king or a cozy senior who prefers a slow sniff-around—I’ll move at your dog’s pace. A bit about me: • Life-long experience: Having raised one dog myself (Poodle) an was Born in a Dog Loving Family (Family Dog: Bouvier) I'm very comfortable with different temperaments and behaviors. I currently have a very open schedule and can be completely flexible with timing. Whether it’s a last-minute walk or a long adventure, I’m available whenever your dog needs me.✨ Since I raised a dog of my own, I understand that every pet has its own personality and specific needs. Here is how I approach care: In the client's home: My priority is maintaining the dog's routine to keep them stress-free. I focus on clear communication with the owner regarding feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, and any 'house rules.' I treat every home with the utmost respect and ensure the dog feels safe and companionship-focused while their owner is away. During walks and care: I don’t just 'walk' the dog; I engage with them. Because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time, I can offer extended sessions and don't have to rush. I’m also very observant of body language to ensure they are always comfortable and safe in every situation. • Senior-dogs-Walks • High-Energy- Runs • Training-Integration

Pet 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!
I always have peace of mind every time I leave Selina and Moki. I've been using Rover and the same lady, Brianna, and she's been amazing! She puts up and follows my list of instructions and would send me photos and videos every day during the duration of my vacation or time away. I strongly recommend Rover, and most especially, Brianna.
Karina did a great job with our kitties. We could tell she was the one by the way she approached each of them when she came by in our pre-visit. She kept us in the loop while we were gone and was prompt and complete during her visits. We'll use her again if available for our future trips away.
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.
Holly is our ONLY choice for kitty cat sitting when it comes to our 14 year old Benny, who is very independent, sassy, set in his routine that Holly totally understands. I absolutely have not ONE worry when away from home because I know Holly is in charge. She goes above and beyond every time she kitty sits for us. What a gift to have peace of mind knowing Holly will take care of Benny the way we do, his routine isn't interrupted, he is well fed / fresh water , litter box changed, played with, pictures and updates were daily sent. Most of all, Holly truly loves him...this is very evident and genuine. We will be calling Holly again very soon for future pet sitting !!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Holly so much for your caring heart and attention to every detail !!!!!!! Appreciate you so much !
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!
Our deepest thanks to Bethany! I was so afraid to leave my cat Red girl alone, we have never left her. Bethany came and went over every detail I had and made me so comfortable. I knew Red was in great hands. We received pictures and messages. I wouldn’t want anyone else to take care of my pets in future trips! Excellent job I wish I could leave a 100 stars for Bethany’s review.

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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