“Lindsey was so wonderful with my babyboy. Kept in touch with messages, pictures, and videos. I swear my lil man had the biggest smile. I wouldn’t hesitate to refer her to anyone. I know I will a repeat client.”
“Lucy is our rescue, who we’ve only had a few months, and has never been left with anyone new. In addition to our needing to get away for the weekend to attend our son’s wedding, we have been wanting to expand her world, and socialize her with more kind humans as well as other dogs. We had a wonderful meet and greet with David, Vickie and Lovergirl! Getting to know them and seeing their home definitely helped allay any concerns! They completely understood what Lucy’s needs were and were onboard for the challenge! They even had a couple of doggie friends visit and she got to hang out with them, too! It was a big step for her! We received texted updates and photos throughout the weekend, which helped us relax and know she was doing well! Lucy continues to make us proud and we are so grateful to David and Vicky for helping us get her to the next step in her journey! Their years of experience and advice was invaluable. Lucy really enjoyed her first weekend sleepover (and so did we)! If you’re considering leaving your dog with David and Vicky, don’t even hesitate, we highly recommend them!!”
“Anne was such a random find for me. She was the first one I found and clicked on and didn’t even bother looking at others. She took care of my dog like she was her own. Thank you, Anne! 💜”
“Very nice home and pleasant people. They took great care of my girl. Sent me pictures and updates several times a day. I would highly recommend them to take care of your furry baby.”
“Laura was amazing!! She allowed us to meet and greet beforehand so we can see the home. She checked in daily with pictures, and overall returned my baby to me safe and sound. Roxy had a blast!”
“Clary was amazing!! Winston is a very anxious dog and she handled him with love and care. We’re so happy that we found her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great Dog Sitter.”
“Jean and Al did a great job with Biscuit. They accepted him on short notice so we could have a beach day out. He had a full day and enjoyed playing with their pups. Jean sent me text updates and a couple of photos. He came home worn out and ready to nap.”
“We were concerned having to leave Violet with anyone because of the Jack Russell mix, she is full of playful energy. Dona was up for the challenge and Violet was happy when we picked her up running around in her back yard. Dona will be our -GO TO- for any future pet sitting needs. Having an open schedule during a Holiday was a plus. Having boarded our previous pets her availability gave us comfort that our Violet she was not spending the weekend boarded.”
“I would definitely recommend Kala to watch your fur babies! She’s so nice and sends you pictures each day! She will definitely spoil them! Great communication and overall amazing experience!!”
“Christine, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the wonderful dog sitting service you provided for Thor. Your care and attention to his needs were truly exceptional, and it was clear that you went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable and happy while I was away. From the regular updates and photos to the thoughtful way you managed his feeding and exercise routine, everything was handled with such professionalism and genuine affection. Thor seemed so content and well-cared for when I returned, which really put my mind at ease. I am incredibly grateful for your outstanding service and will definitely be reaching out to you again for future dog sitting needs. Thank you for treating Thor like he was your own.”
“Max was extremely happy to stay again with Katherine. He is so well taken care of and looked really happy in all the pictures she sent me. I am very happy i found a sitter close by and will use them again.”
“Grace took such amazing care of Bella, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch her. She kept sending us pictures all the time, which made us feel so comfortable and reassured seeing Bella happy and well taken care of. What really stood out was how much Grace cared about doing things the right way — she asked thoughtful questions about where Bella sleeps, how she eats, and what works best for her. You could tell she genuinely wanted to give Bella the best care possible. She was kind, attentive, and truly treated Bella like her own. I felt completely comfortable leaving Bella with her, and that peace of mind means everything. Highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.”
“Chandler was a great sitter. He went above and beyond making sure my pup was given all his meds and ear drops. He was even able to accommodate me with picking him up for a vet visit. I would/will use Chandler again in the future.”
“My Gatsby had such a wonderful time playing with Ally and her dogs. Ally went above and beyond for Gatsby, as he came down with an upset stomach right before he was supposed to stay with her. Ally administered his medication and gave me updates about how he was feeling. She also sent many pictures and videos. I will definitely request a stay with Ally again!”
“Joanna took excellent care of our pet and treated her with so much love and attention. She kept us updated every day with pictures and videos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. I would highly recommend Joanna to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Stephanie’s the best! My dog Oki is old and he hasn’t been with anyone else but me. He had a little bit of separation anxiety and Stephanie made him feel loved and cared for. She was patient with him and Oki finally felt safe in someone else’s care. We definitely would go back to her in a heartbeat.”

Chandler was great! very understanding. This was my first time leaving my dog with anyone. He sent videos and was very prompt to respond to my text messages. I felt very at ease. when I picked her up, She was sad to leave. I will definitely have Chandler on my speed Dial. And spread the word, what a great dog sitter he is. And how sad Mia is today and misses him and the other doggies..
Lulu had an amazing over night stay with Michelle and at such short notice too. Michelle was very accommodating to us. Lulu iisnt around other dogs at home but Michelle introduced her to her own dogs in such a safe and careful manner that Lulu actually ran around and played with her dogs and felt such at ease there. I would highly recommend Michelle and I will be booking with her again on the future.
This was my first time using a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took such great care of Lehx, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. The drop-off and pick-up process was smooth, and I loved receiving pictures and videos—it really meant a lot. She also made sure to ask questions beforehand to understand his needs, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!
I could not have wished for a better sitter for my Labrador Retriever, Winnie! Robin is a wonderful and warm person who truly loved and spoiled Winnie during the three weeks she looked after her. Robin sent pictures and updates every day, which gave me great peace of mind. Her two dogs are happy and friendly, and Winnie got along beautifully with them. I would not hesitate to recommend Robin to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
Our family was going on a little vacation, and needed someone to care for our yorkie, Thomas, while we were gone. This is the first time we have had someone we don’t know care for him. Juan was amazing! He shared updates and pics with us and Thomas was extremely happy! We had to stay an extra night on our trip and Juan accommodated that and was able to care for Thomas an extra night. We will use Juan’s services again. Thank you Juan!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Port Richey on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,665 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Port Richey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Port Richey sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Port Richey landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Port Richey home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Port Richey.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Port Richey sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
