“Since this was the first time since I’ve had Rufus, I’ve never boarded him anywhere. I knew he got along with most dogs we’ve come across but I was a little worried how he would react with other dogs in close proximity. Laura assured me it would be fine. Laura sent me pictures twice a day and kept in touch with me. My worries lifted when she sent pics with other doggums. So if you want your baby cared for by a loving dog mom, Laura your girl.”
“Lindsay and her family have once again taken incredible care of our Jimi. Not often does a pet not want to leave their sitter but that’s the case every time Jimi stays with them which shows us how happy he is being there. Great communication, frequent updates with photos and they keep our boy happy. Thank you!”
“Clary made us feel so calm and comfortable leaving our fur babies with her and her family. She sent pictures and communicated with us while we were away, relieving any stress or worry. It was a smooth drop off and pick up. I would use her again and recommend her services.”
“Chandler was great with communication from the start and made us feel confident leaving our dogs with him. They had a great time playing with the other dogs and enjoying the pool. We’d definitely recommend him!”
“Anne is awesome!! I don’t leave my pup with anyone but family, Anne has become my baby’s Aunt and family! She is attentive and worries ( like me) about my baby’s happiness! Took pictures and sent them to me to alleviate my fears…. I will always book with Anne!!!”
“We were delighted with the care Janel , Jeffrey and Olivia provided our two dogs during the first visit and we look forward to continuing to book with them . Janel and Jeff are professionals and we highly recommend their service . We have two dogs, with two distinct personalities, and Janel and Jeff did a great job caring for both . Janel and Jeff are compassionate, experienced, patient and thoughtful listeners ( esp when we probably gave them too much information during our first visit!). Olive and Happy say thank you for the wonderful visit - and so do we !”
“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!”
“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.”
“Unfortunately, we had to leave suddenly due to a death in the family. But, David was very understanding and worked with our short notice plans. As always, it was a pleasure for our Min-Pin, Chuckie, to stay at "Uncle" David's home. He gets along beautifully with their dog, Lovergirl. And from what David said, there was little, if any, separation anxiety from Chuckie this time around. I truly wish that I could give David more than 5 stars, because he truly has earned it on so many factors. Between taking him to the dog park, the beach, and this cute little creek. All the while, taking beautiful pictures of him that we will treasure forever. He has a beautiful oasis of a backyard that Chuckie can go to, to both play and do his "Doggie Business". If David were to ever be unable to watch Chuckie for whatever reason, we would be devastated. Because, Chuckie feels, to our knowledge, that going over like a treat/extended playdate. David is the best petsitter that we have ever had in the 13 years that my husband, Mark, has had him. Now, keep in mind that Chuckie is no walk in the park!!! He suffers from EXTREME separation anxiety. But, with every visit over to David's home, the anxiety seems to lessen bit by bit. And I attribute that to David's great love of dogs, and his overall personality. Dogs have a 6th sense about people, and they can tell caring people vs. people just looking for spare money. And David DEFINITELY falls into the caring category!!!!!”
“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!”
“Repeat client and each time has been great! My dog was so excited to see her and her pack again, she has an awesome property and provides peace of mind with daily updates and pictures. Highly recommend Laura!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
About: Hey neighbors! 🌼 We all know the feeling: the schedule is packed, but your furry friend is itching to explore the world. Since I grew up with two dogs of my own, I truly miss that daily "dog energy" and would love to put my experience to good use by keeping your pup active and happy!🥰 Whether you have a high-energy zoomie-king or a cozy senior who prefers a slow sniff-around—I’ll move at your dog’s pace. A bit about me: • Life-long experience: Having raised one dog myself (Poodle) an was Born in a Dog Loving Family (Family Dog: Bouvier) I'm very comfortable with different temperaments and behaviors. I currently have a very open schedule and can be completely flexible with timing. Whether it’s a last-minute walk or a long adventure, I’m available whenever your dog needs me.✨ Since I raised a dog of my own, I understand that every pet has its own personality and specific needs. Here is how I approach care: In the client's home: My priority is maintaining the dog's routine to keep them stress-free. I focus on clear communication with the owner regarding feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, and any 'house rules.' I treat every home with the utmost respect and ensure the dog feels safe and companionship-focused while their owner is away. During walks and care: I don’t just 'walk' the dog; I engage with them. Because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time, I can offer extended sessions and don't have to rush. I’m also very observant of body language to ensure they are always comfortable and safe in every situation. • Senior-dogs-Walks • High-Energy- Runs • Training-Integration
“We needed a new pet sitter to watch our 2 dogs while we were on vacation for almost 2 weeks. Rhiannon was so nice and eager to spend time with our dogs. While watching them, she learned their distinct personalities and did whatever she could do to make them happy. She has a very sweet dog named Samantha, and one of our dogs spent time playing with her. Our other dog preferred human companionship. We appreciate that her home could accommodate both of their preferences. We received updates, including pictures and videos, which was reassuring while we were away. We are happy that we found someone who cared so much for our dogs while we were out of town.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Port Richey is $42
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Port Richey
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.
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.

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.
