“Daniella was just perfect for my Milo, a 13 lb. Yorkie mix. She treated him like he was her own. His tail was wagging when he met her, when she came to stay with him, and when I went to pick him up. He snuggled right up onto her lap. When he continued to sit by the garage door through which I left, she coaxed him back with treats and they could begin their special time. I told her any time she wanted him to do something, offer him a treat. I was very glad she didn't just let him sit there all day. She played with his toys with him. She also sat in the recliner with the feet up where Milo LOVES to sit with me. It's another thing I asked her to do. She only took him out briefly at my request because it was so hot and humid he gets overcome easily. She did everything I asked her to do, plus gave him all the cuddle time he wanted. She sent pictures so I could see the great time they were having. I'll be booking her for a few more times this summer. When I was here, I could see how much she loved on him and how much he loved on her right back. She is a very caring person who will take care of your babies like they are hers!”
“Linda did an amazing job!! My dog actually didn’t want her to leave!! HIGHLY recommend her. You can leave and not worry! She keeps in touch and sends pictures. I will definitely use her again. I can’t say enough good things about her!! You won’t be disappointed if you use her to watch your fur babies !”
“Daphne was absolutely wonderful with my dogs. She was attentive, communicative, and kept me in the loop the entire time, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also handled last-minute emergencies with so much care and calmness. I’m so grateful for her and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“The furbabies love when Kelli visits! She shows each one individual wuv and is patient with our senior dog, Stripe who has mobility and cognitive decline. We wuv Kelli!”
“Wow amazing! Amazing communication and even came by for a meet and greet with such short notice. One of our pups had some tummy troubles and she kept us updated the entire time and even made a vet visit on our behalf. The whole process she made a breeze. We will for sure be using again. She loves dogs.. it radiates off her!! Our boys seemed so so happy and we felt comfortable having her stay in our home.”
“Outstanding care for Scarlett and our home over the weekend! Greatly appreciate administering multiple eye drops for her glaucoma care, stream of great pictures, and the updates! Will book again soon!”

She kept us updated with photos and let us know right away if anything seemed unusual with our dogs, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was very transparent, flexible, and genuinely treated our dogs as if they were her own. It was clear that she truly cared about their comfort, happiness, and well being. Our dogs were well cared for, and we could tell they received plenty of attention and love.

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 15 and over the years I have gained the hearts of many families and their fur babies. I know how to read animals body language, gain the animals trust Before going to school I will always check up on any animal I am taking care of and after school I will go straight to take care of the animals and let them out. Before bed I will let the animals out to use the bathroom I will follow the list the owners give me and if the owners says I need to sleep at their house I will to make sure their animals are safe and happy. When caring for my animals at home I always makes sure they have fresh water, food and enough love

We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! From the very beginning, communication was outstanding. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that our dog was treated with kindness and patience— especially through the thunderstorms!! We will definitely be using Daphne’s services again!!
Holly is absolutely perfection at the highest level of caring for our Benny. Holly has taken care of Benny several times before and always goes above and beyond in her care concerning 14 year old cat, Benny. Family members could have help while I was away but I only wanted Holly. I was away for 3 week for personal reasons. Holly sent pictures everyday and texted letting me know how he was doing. Benny's older age, he is very set in his ways of his " routine " and Holly certainly recognized that and kept him happy. 3 weeks was a long time commitment that Holly didn't miss a day, she even brought my mail in, sorted it and kept the house in perfect order. Holly is absolutely amazing ! She will always be our # 1.

Mariah was amazing, and my dog was great with her, too. When I left and returned, the house was spotless, as if no one had been there. She washed the sheets and towels she used and put them back on the bed. I can't say enough about her. The communication was great. I will use her every time I go away!
Wonderful experience. We have a classic shepherd who only really loves her parents (we tried so much socializing, but genes are genes). Christina handled the timid 70 lbs baby with such grace that within a few hours, they were best friends! You can tell she loves what she does and have experience. Even our more aloof cat was cuddling with her by the middle of her stay. If you have pets that dont get watched often, she's definitely your girl!
Clare did an excellent job! Our fur babies were well loved and cared for. She even had to deal with Gracie during a couple of storms and Gracie has EXTREME anxiety during storms! Clare was able to administer medication that calms Gracie and loved on her throughout the event.

FAQs for House Sitting - New Port Richey East
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in New Port Richey East on Rover is $49.42 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,569 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across New Port Richey East. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred New Port Richey East walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in New Port Richey East maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 East 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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
