About: I have extensive experience volunteering at a dog shelter, where I spent several months walking various dogs around the facility and playing with them in a gated park area. Additionally, I have provided dog sitting services for multiple families, which involved visiting their homes several times a day to feed the dogs, take them outside, and spend quality time with them. I have also been around dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own. As a college student, I have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to prioritize pet care, giving dogs the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. I believe in showering pets with love and attention, especially when they are in a new environment. In my home, I dedicate a significant part of my day to my pets whether it's playing outside or snuggling on the couch. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I ensure they feel comfortable and safe by maintaining their routine, providing plenty of playtime, and offering affectionate companionship.

About: Hey!! I am a college student home for the summer and a lifelong dog lover. I have grown up taking care of pets of all sizes and personalities. I am comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, and medications. As a collegiate athlete, I keep them active and busy while paying attention to routines and communication! You can expect regular updates, photos, and dependable care while you’re away! I am available Monday-Friday by appointment just reach out and I will let you know my availability! I am not doing much this summer so I will be most likely free :) I have a fenced yard and take my dog on walks, play fetch, and feed all day long! He is very active and so am I so we are always doing something!

About: I’ve had dogs in my life since day one. I do believe dogs should be treated like family and that’s how I will treat any that come over! Safety is my number one priority! I work from home so I’ll always be here fur your babies. They will definitely get enough love and care! I have my home office in the front of the house and doggy beds in there so they can be comfortable too! I have a fenced in backyard as well as a screened patio. I will also make sure any training you doing will be held up here. Play Time will always be supervised to ensure the safety of the dogs.
About: I’ve had a love for dogs for as long as I can remember. Since I was a little girl I’ve always trained the family dogs and taken care of them. I work from home so I am available 24/7, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I can do boarding, walking, or check up any time. We have 2 dog parks in our complex and I have a crate if needed. I have my own dog as well so they can keep each other company.

About: I am extremely passionate about animals and have multiple years of experience with all types of animals including insects, reptiles, and birds. I love to meet new pets and their people! I have a very flexible schedule and will work with my clients to figure out how we can make your pet as comfortable as possible. I am usually ready for a short notice drop in or stay. We will discuss what needs your pet has and how I can ensure they are happy while you are gone. If they have a favorite toy, treat, or even a movie they like watching, let me know and I will make sure they get what they need!

“Savannah showed to truly care for our precious babies while we were away. She spent extra time with them, giving them love and treats. I appreciate her getting to know their personalities and caring for them accordingly. Thank you so much!”

About: My family is grateful to still care for our 17 year old senior dog, Ace. We have had Ace since he was 8 months old. I have the energy to handle a puppy and the patience to handle a senior dog. I also have my own cat, Sophia. I truly understand the temperaments of both animals. I’ve been trusted to care for my own pets as well as my friends. I am available throughout the week as I am dedicated to Rover full time. I have my own vehicle so that makes traveling seamless. I am available from 10am-10pm most days. I understand that each pet will have their own specific way to be cared for. A pet is absolutely individualistic and there is no one way to care for everyone’s pet. Therefore, I will follow the directions as explained in order to keep the fur baby’s routine.
About: I love being given the opportunity to meet each and every pet individually and to develop a relationship, is priceless. We should provide the same love they give to us. We are their voices. It is easy to have fun and do activities with our fur friends. I also like to take into consideration their personalities, habits, and likes. I am here to service them. Our fur friends are just like us, they only speak a different language. Therefore its an easy, loving job to do. As a young child I recall bringing strays home and almost being put out with them, hoping maybe one day I would be able to keep one of them. I never had the heart to put them back in the streets so, I tools them to Intake shelters. It all comes natural to me. Walks, Runs and Playing Catch Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. I already plan my day around responsibilities and schedules, so adding feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins feels very manageable. I make sure pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need without feeling rushed. Throughout the week, I stay organized and communicate with owners regularly, sending updates and making sure their pets are comfortable and happy. Spending time with animals is something I look forward to, so it feels like a rewarding part of my routine rather than just another task. If pets stay in my home, I maintain a calm, pet-friendly environment, keep hazardous items out of reach, supervise interactions, and follow the owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, sleeping arrangements, and any special needs
“Morgan was so great!!! Very attentive to our cat while we were away. Gave lots of cuddles and took lots of great pictures!! Very easy to communicate with and would definitely use again.”

“Lindsay was fantastic with Indie, Francine, and Pearl. She was punctual, attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and went above and beyond—cleaning up messes and making sure everyone was comfortable. We appreciated the personalized care and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommended.”

About: Big or small, I love 'em all! I grew up with dogs and cats by my side of all sizes and breeds. I've owned a Golden Retriever, a shi-poo, a schnauzer mix, Pitbulls, and mixed Shephards. I treat every dog and cat I've owned as family because they truly are my 4 legged children, so I'll do the same with yours! I currently work part time at night, so I have lots of free time to babysit and play with your fur babies! I am available to board your babies on weekdays after 12pm and any time on weekends! I live in an apartment complex with a dog park and lots of room to run and play! I also have a cat to keep your baby company when I'm not home! He LOVES dogs of all sizes, especially little ones. I also have space to crate your pup if you want!
About: I've taken care of different kinds of pets since I was a kid, I grew up on a horse farm in north carolina and when I moved here I worked in a grooming salon, just bathing. I'm always free on weekends, I am available after 6 during the week, I do work full-time but im open to working with you on the type of assistance you need :) I have a fenced in yard and two little dogs to keep your lil baby entertained, I can keep my pets separate if necessary as well
About: I’m the crazy dog lady that will ask if I can pet your dog as soon as I spot him/her! My passion for dogs started when I was very young and grows every day. Many people rely on me to watch their dogs and shower them with love! I am a full time nurse but I typically work 4 days a week. My weekends are mostly free and weekdays I’m available after 4 pm! If I have a day off during the week, I can be dedicated to your dog(s)! I have a big, fenced in yard that holds my super friendly lab and he is always looking for more friends to share the yard with. My dog literally smiles at me every day so I know I’m doing something right! My husband and I are both home a lot and would love to hang out with your dog! Your dog will never have to hold their bladder for more than 6-7 hours. I have a fenced in yard that all dogs love. I also live in a great community where I can walk your dog around the neighborhood. Dogs are also allowed on my furniture.
About: I accept last minute requests :)🐾 My alternate/emergency backup sitter is Kelli B. (Also a sitter on Rover) As a dedicated dog mom to a high-energy Border Collie/Labrador mix, I truly understand the level of commitment, patience, and exercise it takes to keep a pup happy and thriving. My home is a place of boundless energy and love, which has prepared me to step in as a seamless replacement parent for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Throughout my years of sitting, I’ve gained extensive experience with a diverse range of needs, from high-octane athletes to gentle senior souls. I am highly proficient in specialized care, including strict dietary management, insulin injections, oral pill administration, and the careful application of eye drops. I also have a deep heart for dogs with sensory challenges; having cared for both blind and deaf pups, I know how to use touch, vibration, and clear hand signals to ensure they feel safe and secure. My goal is always to provide the same empathetic, intuitive care you do, so your best friend feels cherished and understood every moment you’re away. Since I work remotely and have the complete flexibility to choose my own schedule, pet care isn't just a task—it’s a seamless part of my daily life. Because I am not tied to a traditional office, I have the unique ability to provide "replacement parent" care, offering your pet the consistent companionship and attention they are used to having from you. My routine is built around being present. I have the flexibility to stay in your home, ensuring your pet’s environment remains stable and stress-free while you are away. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy exercise routine for an active pup, managing a strict medication schedule for a senior, or simply providing a warm lap to curl up on during my work hours, I am able to prioritize your pet's needs at any time of day. You won't have to worry about long stretches of solitude; I’m there to provide the snacks, the walks, and the specialized care exactly when they need it. When I stay in your home, my priority is providing a seamless "replacement parent" experience so your pets never feel a gap in their routine. My remote work lifestyle allows me to provide true companionship, ensuring your pets aren't left alone for long stretches. Because of my professional background, I take the security of your home very seriously. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing that: Continuous Presence: I am there throughout the day, which is a natural deterrent and keeps your home looking "lived-in." Professional Responsibility: I am exceptionally detail-oriented and respectful of your space, following all house rules and security protocols to the letter. Specialized Medical Care: I am fully comfortable staying overnight with seniors or pets with chronic conditions (like diabetes or sensory impairments) who require late-night or early-morning monitoring. Home Tidiness: I maintain a clean, quiet environment and ensure mail is collected, plants are watered, and everything is exactly as you left it. I also have experience in the water mitigation field, so should any issue arise with an appliance or anything in your home, I know how to respond quickly and mitigate further issues.
“Shauna was awesome!Rocco was really relaxed with her she took great care of him.Sent pictures and updates the whole night.She’s super nice and will definitely hire her again if we come out to Anaheim.”


About: Hello there! I’m Kelly! I pride myself on being very open and communicative, especially with someone else’s furbaby! I know how hard it is to leave your pet, and you can expect a "love note" from them when you're away! April of 2016 I adopted an Australian Shepard--my copilot Marley. I quickly became "that dog woman." She goes everywhere with me. I started to take my neighbors two aussies with us on side adventures when their humans had to work. I took a lot of time to train my girl and we are working towards therapy dog certification to be able to spread the puppy love to local children's hospitals. I'm a graphic designer by trade which gives me the flexible schedule that I have! Love to draw and also an avid runner! In my off time i'm usually training or off adventuring with my Aussie and kiddos. I have a 2 and a 4 year old that are just as obsessed with doggos as I am! My dog loves people and other animals so much that I want to be able to the take care of dogs while their people are away or working. I know it puts my mind at ease knowing if I am out without my dog that she is safe, happy and having a good time. I want to do the same for other "pet parents." I work at night and during the day I’m living that mom and dog mom life. I’m mostly available for walks and possibly boarding in home if your doggo is pleasant and fits. I have a fenced in backyard with a shaded deck. Oh and a GIANT fan. We’re on our back porch often and it’s nice to have a break from the sun but still get fresh shady air!

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.

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.

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.

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.
