“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!”
“Fantastic pet sitter. He took great care of “Pebbles”, my pet, made sure walks were consistent (Backyard) as I requested, sent photos and communicated clearly the entire time. I felt totally at easy knowing “Pebbles”, my girl was in such good hands. Highly recommend and would definitely book again. Thanks Chandler.”
“David and his wife Vicki were so wonderful. They took such great care of our sweet girl Ali. They gave us a wonderful “goodie” bag with Ali’s favorite treats and pictures of Ali everyday. We will definitely be a repeat customer!!!”
“Awesome Awesome Awesome is all I can say. They communicate with you and you can see they truly love animals. I wouldn't trust anyone with Gigi besides Lisa and Scott.”
“I am so thankful to find this family to take care of my two doodles. They had a blast and I received many photos during the time I was away to make me feel at ease. Thank you again!”
“Anne did a great job of taking care of my 14 y/o baby. Messaged me at least daily to let me know how he was doing. Appreciate that she was willing to take him on being that he is larger than she normally accepts. Thanks Anne😊”
“We are so happy we found Laura! She’s absolutely amazing—she treated our little Roberta like her own and kept us updated with so many cute pictures. The whole family made Roberta feel right at home, loved, and well taken care of. We can’t recommend her enough and will definitely reach out to her again whenever we need a sitter!”
“Jean and AL watched our Ophelia, and she had a wonderful time. She felt right at home with them and their pups, she loved playing with them and snuggles on the couch. I am so grateful for them and for their wonderful care for our girl. We would highly recommend them to anyone. They kept us updated throughout the day with how she was doing and even sent us pictures of her, it truly helped because we missed her dearly. Ophelia can't wait for her next stay with them, I just know it 🩷 she adores them💕”
“Dona did a great job looking after our dog Willy. He isn't an easy dog to watch over. He is disabled and in a wheelchair. Dona went the extra mile to ensure that Willy was comfortable and cared for. She stayed in touch with us throughout the time she watched him. I definitely recommend her for watching your dog. Thank you so much Dona.”
“Christine took such good care of our little fur baby, Ozzy. We found her on short notice after back to back hurricanes, and she was immediately ready for a meet and greet. Ozzy took to her right away along with making himself at home. She gives timely updates and daily pictures. He was in great hands with her, and we highly recommend her 5 star services.”
“Celeste was amazing! She took care of my dogs like they were her own. She made sure to send me photos and keep me updated along the way. I’ll definitely be rebooking with her 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!”
About: Being a dog mom for over 10 years and a cat mom for 3 years, now being a mom to my own babies and staying home full time with the ability to open my home or help others with their fur babies is my favorite hobby. I have a beautiful golden retriever that I’ve had since she was 6 weeks so I’ve been able to be with her and learn all stages of dogs. I have a large, fenced in backyard so plenty of space to play or sun bathe for the pups. I’m currently a stay at home mom to a newborn so I now have extra time for this hobby. I love dogs and sitting them is my fun way of interacting and enjoying a new pup without getting another one of my own. Dogs have always been members of the family to me. Spending quality time with them by going on long walks with plenty time to sniff and stimulate their brains, cuddling on the couch watching movies or playing with their favorite toy.
“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!”
“Laura was very nice and made me feel like my dogs were in good hands. My dogs had plenty of room to run. Very thankful for her services. I have two big dogs so I always get nervous when other people watch my dogs but Laura and her son did a fantastic job. Thank you!”
“Jenna K did a great job sitting my sweet Bella. This was our second stay with Jenna K . Bella was happy to arrive, I think she knew she had a friend to play with. Jenna K took Bella on walks and gave her a special frozen treat on Sunday. Thank you Jenna K”
“Joanna did an awesome job making us feel comfortable with leaving our pup with her. He is an older dog that still acts like he is in his prime, but from the first meet and greet I could tell that this was not her first time handling big dogs. We have used Rover a few times but this is by far the most comfortable we have felt. We will definitely book Joanna in the future!”
“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!”

Chandler was amazing! He communicated well with me every single day. I’ve never left my fur babies with anyone before so I was a little nervous but he put my husband and I at ease very quickly. He sent us photos and messages to let us know how the days were going and let us arrive late for our pick up which we appreciated. We would love for him to be a sitter again if he is available. Thank you Chandler for loving our babies!
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Port Richey
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Port Richey on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,737 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.
