“Al & Jean sat my 100 # lab. They sent me pictures and I wasn't sure if she wanted to come home, because she was having so much fun with Piper & Cooper. For the first time I did not feel bad about going away because she was so well taken care of. Great couple.”
“Clary is so friendly and treated our dogs kindly. She sent us pictures and updates. We are new to the area and were nervous about dog care. It was a relief to find a loving home for them when we are out of town. Our dog Chica even got a bow in her hair. 🙂🐶🐶”
“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!”
“We have been using Laura for years to watch our pup. She is the best and is always very nice to us and our pup! She updates us frequently with pictures and we will definitely continue to always book with Laura in the future.”
“Lisa and Scott are truly awesome we left our Winnie with them and honestly never worried a second. We received pictures and videos which we could see Winnie was at home always happy would highly recommend Lisa and Scott 🙂”
“My Rover Family was a perfect fit. Dave and Vicki made it so comfortable for my little seniors they didn’t want to go I’m sure. It was my first experience with Rover and it won’t be the last. THANK YOU!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Our fur baby felt right at home with Stephanie! He was treated like a king and was happy and relaxed while away from home. The daily updates and pics gave us peace of mind. We've already booked our next stay!”
“Betsy communicates well and provides a loving home away from home. A large fenced yard for lots of running and playtime helped get my pup's energy out. And she was so attentive to ensure my pup was comfortable on his first stay with her as he is quite anxious. And pup loved her!”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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!”
“We were so happy we decided to leave Wes with Lindsay. We received updates & pictures showing Wes was making himself right at home. Thank you Lindsay for taking good care of him.”
“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!”
“Tracee has been nothing but amazing from the moment I reached out to her! This is our second time leaving our big furbaby boy with her and I feel so assured and relieved that we found her! We of course miss our Melo when away, but knowing he is in such loving hands and care allows me to truly enjoy time away. He is clearly so well taken care of when we return, and seems so much at ease than when we would previously bring him to a dog daycare ! She sends updates and photos throughout the day and ensures all our requests and our furbaby’s needs are met! Thank you!”
“I’ve been using Rover for several years and Jean is one of my favorites! She’s not only polite but she’s super responsive, sends lots of pictures and updates, and most of all took great care of my pup! Thanks Jean!”
“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!”

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.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Port Richey can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
