“Kelli is beyond Amazing she made all of our pets happy and loved and that is quite a feat but when she left the dogs were really sad we cannot thank her enough and will have her back thanks again Kelli you're awesome”
“Andrea was great with my dog! I felt he was in good hands the entire time I was away. She communicated well and sent tons of pictures! I will definitely be rebooking with her for future dog sitting needs.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Karin! She was incredibly attentive, caring, and communicative throughout the entire stay. 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. We will be using her in the future and trust her with our dogs again. highly recommend Karin to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and responsible pet sitter!”
“Harry did wonderfully with Makenna! She sent photos of him during their time together, which put my heart at ease. Also, while he was happy to see us, he was calm upon our arrival so I know having her with him eased his separation anxiety.”
“Isabella did a great job taking care of my two dogs and my home while we were on vacation for a week. My dogs were happy when we got home. Isabella made sure the house looked great too! I would recommend her without hesitation!”
About: Since I was younger, I’ve always loved animals, every animal I meet I care for and adore. Since I was 12-13 years old I’ve dog walked and pet sit, and I am now 26. I am available full time to watch your furbabies. I can promise I will care for your animal as it were my own with playtime and love. I do not discriminate against any breed, I love all and all are welcome to my care. I have just moved to the area and have open availability to take care of your fur babies! I have three cats and a dog of my own and years of experience with caring for all different breeds and ages! At my house your pet would be allowed to roam as they please unless you have specific restrictions or requests. Other than car rides to dropping my child to school, I can be around to care for your pet and walk them as requested. I follow instruction by the owner as stated and check in with any further questions.
“Daphne was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and responsive throughout the entire time. She was kind, organized, and very responsible, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my girls were in her care. She took great care of them and treated them with so much love and attention. I truly appreciated all the updates and her excellent communication. I highly recommend Daphne and would definitely trust her with my dogs again!”
“Excellent sitter. Daniella and her daughter took very good care of Abby. Abby is an older dog with arthritis in her hip. My house was spotless when I returned home and Abby was so happy to see me. I would recommend Daniella in a heartbeat. She is kind, gentle and follows all instructions perfectly.”
“Christina was great with our three dogs! We have a very rambunctious great dane puppy (130 lbs!) so it takes a special person to handle her energy. Christina was very communicative while we were away and sent lots of photos. She followed all of our instructions precisely. Our dogs loved her! Highly recommend!”
“Another great stay with J! Sheets washed, house clean, and our kitchen may have been cleaner than when we left. Our dog loves his long walks and play time. Will use again!”
“So happy to have Carly staying at the house with my 2 scaredy kitties who are afraid of everyone. Carly was extremely responsive, communicative and responsible, taking great care of the house and kittens and going the extra mile to make it a smooth several days for all. Highly recommend”
“Angie blew me away by being 5 minutes early to her 6am arrival time at my house. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My little girl Tatiana fell in love with her immediately and gave her lots of kisses ☺️ Angie is very easy to be around and I highly recommend her for in home sitting.”
“Tori is an amazing pet sitter! She cared for my two large, energetic dogs for 4 days in my home. She kept me informed with photos and notes so I could relax, knowing my dogs were happy and safe. Tori reached out to clarify instructions to ensure the dogs' safety. The dogs absolutely love her! She is The Best!!”
“Madison did such a great job. Jackson took right to her and they bonded rather quickly. He followed her around and didn’t want to leave her side. She kept me informed of how he was doing and sent me lots of pictures on walks ,hanging out in the house, even being naughty and getting into the garbage. 😂😂😂 I will be calling her for the next time I need to get away!”
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!
About: My family is grateful to still care for our 17 year old senior dog, Ace. We have had Ace since he was 8 months old. I have the energy to handle a puppy and the patience to handle a senior dog. I also have my own cat, Sophia. I truly understand the temperaments of both animals. I’ve been trusted to care for my own pets as well as my friends. I am available throughout the week as I am dedicated to Rover full time. I have my own vehicle so that makes traveling seamless. I am available from 10am-10pm most days. I understand that each pet will have their own specific way to be cared for. A pet is absolutely individualistic and there is no one way to care for everyone’s pet. Therefore, I will follow the directions as explained in order to keep the fur baby’s routine.
About: I think animals have feeling just as we human do. So i respect that and I always treat them with love, respect and lots of understanding I am a full time pet care provider I make sure if you need help with your pet I am avalible. I love all animals and care for them deeply. I have a feneced in back yard and plenty of space for pups and kitties. I have reliable transportation for drop ins and/or walks.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Port Richey East
Toni went above and beyond when house sitting my cat and dog. She sent photos and videos every day and truly cared for them like her own. She was able to meet my dogs special needs. And she even took care of the house responsibilities like taking the trash to the road, washing dishes, and dealing with an ant infestation without being asked. I would recommend her to anyone and I will definitely have her watch my animals the next time I need a sitter.

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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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 sitter.
