“Thanks so much for taking good care of Eulee. He is going to miss being off leash in your yard. Not something he can do at home unfortunately. Thanks for the glucosamine chews too!”
“Chandler was absolutely wonderful with our dog! He was kind, gentle and patient - you can tell right away that he truly cares about animals. Our dog warmed up to him immediately and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We came home to a happy relaxed pup and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend Chandler to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate”
“Our girl Baylee has high anxiety & all the issues that come with it. She's a 10 year old lab mix with cataracts & poor eyesight. Putting her in a kennel for the weekend was not an option. We are new residents to FL & first time users of Rover. We are so Blessed to have had such a positive experience with Laura & her family. Hopefully she will be available when we need her again. You can trust your fur babies with her & her family.”
“Clary and her family were absolutely amazing with my dog! I received updates throughout the day and she was always quick to respond to my messages. Would highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again”
“Lindsay took incredible care of my dog. She was very communicative and provided me frequent updates and photos. My dog didn’t want to leave when I came to pick him up. Normally he goes on a hunger strike when I’m away on a trip but he felt so comfortable with Lindsay that he even ate. Will be using Lindsay again for sure!”
“My sweet beagle Maisy and I are both truly blessed to have found David & Vicki on Rover! She is always excited when she hops out of the car and realizes that she is at her "home away from home". You will not find more competent & loving care for your pet.”
“Leaving our almost 15-year-old labradoodle, Onyx, is never easy—he’s not just a dog, he’s our fur baby and has been with us through so much. But Janel and Jeffrey made the experience not only comfortable, but genuinely reassuring. From the moment we dropped him off, they treated him with such kindness and care. The daily updates and adorable photos were everything—we looked forward to them every day. We were taking a much-needed break to grieve the loss of Ryan’s parents, and knowing Onyx was in such loving hands helped bring peace during a very heavy time. It's hard to trust just anyone with our senior boy, but Janel and Jeffrey made us feel confident and cared for. We would absolutely leave Onyx with them again. People who help ease your heart during hard seasons really stand out, and these two did just that.”
“First time at short notice, Anne to the rescue!!! Charlie fit right in with Rusty. I love the way Charlie took Anne. I have found my sitter for life!! Thank you Anne for taking care of my baby. See you next time.”
“Celeste is amazing! She accommodated my booking on short notice during the holiday and took GREAT care of my spoiled golden. Bella had a fun time with the children and her 2 fur babies. THANK YOU, Celeste!”
“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.”
“Brianna took such good care of my Chloe. Booking was easy and she stayed in communication with me from the start and all during the stay. Thank you, Brianna for everything.”
“My experience was great! Good communication and I received photos throughout the stay. I liked that they meet us before the stay to ensure it’s a good fit. Thank you!”
“Betsy provided great communication and sent frequent pictures with updates on my 2 dogs she cared for. She has a huge backyard that’s fenced in with lots of room to run and play. My dogs must have felt like they were on vacation. Betsy was very professional and responsive. She provided great care and we will be using her services again.”
“Sibrena was amazing with my dog who requires a lot of attention. She sent me pictures to keep me up to date with the happenings of her day. Thank you so much for caring for my dog!”
“Joanna + family are the perfect sitters for our beloved Malcolm!! Doggie friends to play with, plenty of room, fenced backyard. He was in heaven! Joanna is professional, organized, friendly and experienced, and took our request very last minute. Extremely responsive on the text-app with info and pictures and we felt like we could really relax on our vacation. Highly Recommended! We will be back!! Thank You Joanna :)”
“Jenna did a great job taking care of Bonnie and Lucy from Sunday morning through Wednesday afternoon. Our dogs were clearly well cared for, and it was a big plus that her two dogs got along and played nicely with ours, which helped keep them active and happy. Communication was good overall, and she was responsive when needed. The dogs came home healthy and in good spirits, and we appreciated her care while we were away. We’d be comfortable using Jenna again and appreciate her help.”
“Lynn is incredible! Highly recommended if you need a dog sitter, she was kind, reliable, and responsive to any questions I had. I could tell my dog had a great time staying at her place, would book again!”

Chandler was great with Paisley! He sent us daily photo and/or video updates, which showed Paisley having a great time with the other dogs! He made us feel comfortable knowing Paisley was being taken care of just like she was one of his own! When we picked Paisley up, she looked very happy and we would recommend Chandler to all of our friends! Thank you, Chandler! Paisley says, “thank you” & she will be visiting you soon.!!
Christine was a pleasure to work with. She is friendly and was very caring for my dog during her boarding at Christine’s house. Christine was very communicative and easy to get a hold of. She provided daily updates on my dog with pictures on most days. I could see how easy-going she was, but at the same time was very attentive to my dog’s needs and my instructions. Christine is clearly a dog lover and it shows with how sweet she was with my dog, and cared for her as if it were her own. This was my first time using Rover, and I highly recommend Christine as a boarder. I was not disappointed at all at giving Rover a chance. Christine gave me the confidence that everything would be fine. I could tell this was not Christine’s first rodeo. My dog warmed-up very quickly to her and there were no issues with my dog getting along with Christine. I plan to use her in the future when I need a safe and reliable person to board my dog.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Port Richey on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,684 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.
95% 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.
