“Kayleigh responded quickly and was very accommodating. She was very nice and helpful. Would recommend her to anyone! My dog who can be a bit shy around strangers warmed up to her right away. Thank you so much!”

About: My family and I have been fostering dogs for over 10 years. I am a HUGE animal lover and literally treat them like my child haha! I’m actually wanting to start my own pet business one day and figured I should get as much experience as possible! I do currently have a part time job but am home after 2pm with the rest of my day available. After that timeframe, I’m more than happy to take your pets out every 0-2 hours to use the restroom and also play with them at least once a day I’m located in a golf course neighborhood with a patio. The area is definitely big enough to take long walks around the neighborhood so that they can burn some energy! I have experience with unfriendly animals as well and are able to take care of them regardless of how they act
About: What sets me apart from a lot of others. is my years of working hands on with hundreds of dogs in my career as a dog professional. I also got to spend 11 years, loving and caring for 2 of the sweetest rescues anyone could have ever been blessed to have in their lives. My home sits empty now and is set up to accommodate your beloved furry friends. The majority of my experience is with dogs. I have been around cats but have never owned one. Working with and being around mans best friend has always been a rewarding passion of mine. Now that my 2 best friends have passed over the Rainbow bridge, I would like to share my home with some new furry friends for the part time. Although I'm not ready for another dog of my own, my heart is open to being a part time care taker of your best friend or friends. Over nights your dog will have run of the house and be welcomed and well looked after. I also have an Amazon "Echo Show" that is great for video drop in's to say hello to your friend. I'm still currently working as a professional pet groomer but I work from home outside in my old mobile grooming unit. I'm home all day on work days and available to give potty breaks. I do work 1 part time job away from home 1 day a week for 5 to 6 hours but I'm only 1 mile from home. Any other thing you would like to know, please ask. Thanks Maci I live alone in an older house, i dont have a back yard to offer but im always available for walking. In my years of working with dogs, their safety and security have been at the top of my priority list. After all, you're hiring me for this very thing, to care, look after and keep safe your best friends or friend. Your dog or dogs, if staying with me would be the only dogs with me. I would not feel comfortable having more than one pack at a time. While I'm really good with dogs, I'm no dog whisper.
“Julleyka was amazing! Came up clutch for me in a tight spot with very late notice. Julleyka went above & beyond, not to mention my chocolate lab Max adored Julleyka. J also helped water herbs & collect mail. Would highly recommend!”
“Carly is such a joy! She replies so quickly, is reliable and responsible, and my pet loves her. She sent me lots of photos from a drop in visit and followed all instructions perfectly. I look forward to her watching my pup again soon!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets ranging from young adult to senior age. I rescued a feral kitty with major injuries, worked with Tampa Bay Humane Society to take care of her health concerns, and officially adopted her in 2024. I have experience with caring for pets with seizures, needing diaper changes, having specific dietary needs, and more. I’m available any time, currently I have a lot of free time so I’m able to give your pets the attention they need even on short notice. I have a cat in one hole and multiple dogs in another and I give them whatever they need to be happy with me, in my clients home I do exactly as is needed
About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by providing personalized care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s gentle senior pet care, raising puppies, or ensuring pets feel loved and comfortable while you’re away, I treat every animal like my own. With a deep passion for animals, I offer reliable, attentive, and loving care! Available from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm Monday thru Friday and most weekends with advance notice! I work night shift so evenings will be off limits unless you’re close enough to my job that I can drop by :) I don’t take care of pets in my home yet, however, I love keeping things clean so there will never be a mess when you come back home and I will make sure they’re fed, walked, exercised, and loved! If your pet needs medication or special treatment I will make sure to give it to them when it’s time!
“Victoria did an amazing job and took care of all of our fur babies and even cuddled with them. Thank you Victoria we appreciate you and look forward to our next trip and you taking care of our fur babies”
“I had to leave my two dogs and one cat for a small, weekend trip a couple hours away, so finding someone who could watch them was stressful. I live with my grandmother who watched all three animals in the evening, so I just needed someone to drop-in and quickly let them out. I read Aldyn’s bio and thought that she sounded pretty qualified, so I scheduled a meet and greet and couldn’t have been more thrilled and confidant afterwards. Once I left for the trip, I was in constant communication with Aldyn. She was very communicative and forward with me, which I greatly appreciated. She provided my babies with the best care out there, which relieved a lot of stress for me. Knowing that she was there providing my babies with excellent love and care, even if it was just for a drop-in visit, was awesome. Aldyn was also extremely understanding my situation and was very accepting. I appreciated that very much. I highly recommend Aldyn for any type of service you may require! She is truly exceptional!”
“Valerie did a fantastic job checking in on my kitty, Benny. I loved receiving her updates and seeing the photos of her visits. Great and very quick communication, I will definitely be using her services again when needed. Thank you for taking such great care of Benny!”

She took such good care of my cat and made sure she was happy and comfortable while I was away. I especially appreciated all the fun updates and the many adorable pictures she sent. It really put my mind at ease. I’ll definitely be booking again. Highly recommend!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Port Richey
We are so lucky to have found Breezy here. Our first time using drop in services and we had complete peace of mind while out of town knowing our fur babies would be cared for in our home. Every drop in we received photos and details. Plus our dogs loveeeee Breezy. I’m pretty sure they could care less that we weren’t home because their new favorite person was there.
I've lost track of how many times we have booked Karma and she has done a great job every single time. It's gotten to the point where I'm not sure we would ever leave town if Karma couldn't take care of our three dogs! :-) We were away for a full week this time and knowing the pups were in Karma's care gave us complete peace of mind. There is a reason (actually a LOT of reasons) why she is at the top of Rover's ratings!
Nelson & Donna did a fantastic job checking in on our pets while we were away. We made last minute plans to go out of town for the weekend and needed a pet sitter in a hurry. Nelson and Donna had availability and we're able to stop by the day prior to meet and greet with us. They did a fantastic job of keeping us informed on the dogs activity, eating habits, and potty breaks. Along with pictures they sent, we felt very comfortable about the pups while we were away. They did a fantastic job and I would highly recommend them. I found both Nelson and Donna to be personable, punctual, and trustworthy people.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Port Richey stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Port Richey choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Port Richey with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
