“Andrea did a great job checking in on our kitties while we were away! She gave lots of updates on how they were doing and followed all instructions that I provided. We’d definitely recommend her!”
“Was absolutely amazing with my kitty cats they fell in love with her the minute she walked through the door. She made sure the water was full, and the litter box was clean each and every time she was there. Will use her again and again.”
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: I am part of the management team for a major pet retailer. I have had my own pets since I was a child. I have also cared for friends and family members pets. Such as walking, playing and just a companion for their pet when they were unable to. I will truly care about your pet as if it were my own this I promise. I have also assisted and facilitated many animal rescues. I currently work a full-time job but I was looking to bring in more income and there's nothing more that I love than being around animals. I work in the evening so I'm available in the mornings. Currently I am not doing anything for my home but I would be glad to come to your home and take care of your pet as if it were my own
“Kayleigh was great with my Zen! Consistent, personable and did a great job in my girl’s daily care and check-ins. Upon my return, Zen is relaxed, not stressed out, well-fed and super affectionate! I’m looking forward to my next trip and highly recommend and trust that Kayleigh is the right pick for your pet care needs.”
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: My family and I have been fostering dogs for over 10 years. I am a HUGE animal lover and literally treat them like my child haha! I’m actually wanting to start my own pet business one day and figured I should get as much experience as possible! I do currently have a part time job but am home after 2pm with the rest of my day available. After that timeframe, I’m more than happy to take your pets out every 0-2 hours to use the restroom and also play with them at least once a day I’m located in a golf course neighborhood with a patio. The area is definitely big enough to take long walks around the neighborhood so that they can burn some energy! I have experience with unfriendly animals as well and are able to take care of them regardless of how they act
“Great person to have walk your dogs. She treats Aggie very well and has gone above and beyond every time. She also responded extremely fast, she didn’t even have 2 hours notice and helped me out!”

I have had cats my entire life, and over the last 8 years have adopted four cats, cared for two elderly dogs - one of which had various health issues and required both medication and physical assistance - and fostered a number of kittens through my local shelter from 1 day old to adoption age. I have experience with cats who are friendly, shy, and aggressive - and both dogs and cats with mild medical needs.

I am available nearly all day on weekends as well. While caring for your pet in your home, I am more than happy to accomodate any specific requests you may have. I know I'm picky with my cats! I am caring and enthusiastic, as well as thorough and respectful.
About: Animals have been my guide and my great passion since childhood; caring for them is not a job for me, but my life's purpose. In my home, your pet will not only be safe, but will receive pure love, endless patience, and the deep respect they truly deserve. I dedicate my available hours entirely to my soul's purpose: protecting pets. My flexible schedule allows me to offer focused, deeply loving, and high-quality care. In my home: Overnight stays in a safe environment. At yours: Drop-in visits for feeding and walks. My promise: Photo updates and total peace of mind.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My family owns many pets and has consistently relied on me to provide care for them. I trained my dog when he was a puppy and I am confident in handling medications for older pets as well, so I am comfortable working with a wide age range of animals. I am currently a college student looking for a summer job, so I would have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday after 4:30 p.m and any other day of the week at any time. I am absolutely open to multiple daily visits or even staying overnight if necessary. I will send updates throughout the day so you can rest assured your pup is well taken care of!
About: I’ve been loving and taking care of animals all my life. I’ve loved them since I was a baby. I try to save every stray!

I’m available anytime during the day and the evening I will be caring for pets in other peoples homes but I have a fenced yard for my babies but monitor their time in the heat and cold.
About: I grew up on a horse ranch in Northern California caring for all of our farm animals - horses, sheep, cows, chickens and goats. We even had a llama and donkeys! I competed my horses on the national level and was actively involved in an equestrian organization as an upper level member helping to teach younger children how to ride and care for their horses as well. We always had numerous dogs and cats on the ranch that were my pets too. My beloved Labrador, Raven, was my constant companion for eleven years before I lost her to cancer. My experience with various animals enables me to give your beloved family member the attention it needs while you are away. I care for my parents 14 year old Maltese who needs several medications daily. As such, I am very good at ensuring that medical needs can be met if needed. I am going to school to become a Medical Assistant and have the time devote to care giving as I study. I am starting school to become a Medical Assistant. I live in a lovely home with a nice yard. I will be able to spend time with your pet as I study from home. I love walking through our safe community so if your dog needs lots of walks, that is a bonus for me! I have a lovely fenced yard or can come to your house as well. I always make sure your pet's routine is maintained with their feeding schedule, giving any medications required and making sure they get lots of love and attention.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Port Richey
Rada is so clearly a natural caretaker and pet lover. She was responsive, flexible, and both my cats (even the shy one!) loved her; based on the picture updates I received every day. I will definitely be booking Rada again next time. The cats and I loved her warm energy and consistency. Thank you so much Rada!
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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .

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.
