“I can't say enough positive things about Angela. She was able to accommodate my last minute trip. She kept in contact throughout the day, provided adorable updates and pictures. Even though I was out of town, I felt my animals were in good hands, and I had peace of mind. I'm actually looking forward to going out of town again because I know my babies will be well taken care of. Thank you Angela!! I appreciate you!”
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
“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: I’ve taken care of pets and fur babies most of my life. My parents were farmers before they married and they raised me with all kinds of animals around me. Had chickens gooses ducks dogs cats … later had my own. I’m currently working part time. I’m also my daughter’s homeschool teacher. So I have plenty of time for taking care of a pet from time to time. I live in a rent a house but have no fenced yard. As tte rules for tenants are no pets policy I am currently not able to board any fur babies. I’ll update as soon as possible if any changes occur.
“Linda goes above and beyond. Very caring, compassionate with my Buster and Blondie. Buster had stopped eating and drainage from eyes. He was dying. She talked to him and put the phone up to him for me to talk to him. He waited for me to get home Monday. Tuesday I took him to the vet and he had a very peaceful passing. A million thanks to Linda fir all she does. Debbie M”

About: I have over the course of my time in high school have walked and trained large animals like farm animals and now I walk and care for my Girlfriends dog and neighbors dogs all the time and go on constant walks with them to keep them exercised. It would be my main importance of the day and the chore on the top of my list. I always want to put those things first over the other things. I care for animals by giving them lots of love and attention maybe even spoil them a little to much but overall I care for them the way I would want to be treated and make them feel special.
About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. Growing up, I had a dog of my own, and since then I’ve continued to help family and friends with their pups—whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them extra love while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my genuine patience and reliability. I take the time to understand each dog’s unique needs, from energetic puppies who love to play and learn, to senior dogs who may need a gentler pace and extra comfort. I’m attentive to routines, quick to notice changes in behavior, and committed to keeping your dog safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. Whether it’s belly rubs, long walks, or sticking to a special routine, I’ll make sure your dog feels loved and you have peace of mind. I work from home 3 days a week and I’m usually home on weekends, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with pets. I love fitting in walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions throughout the day. Hanging out with dogs doesn’t feel like work—it’s one of the best parts of my routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When I’m caring for pets in your home, I follow your routine closely so they feel secure and comfortable in their own environment. I make sure doors and gates are properly secured, keep food and water fresh, and always pay attention to any special instructions you provide. If I’m welcoming pets into my home, I create a calm and safe environment where they’ll feel cared for and loved—just like family. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, playtime, and care while keeping their wellbeing at the center of everything I do.
“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!”

“Samantha has been amazing. I was extremely reluctant to allow a stranger into my home and around my dogs but when I saw her profile and after I had a meet and greet with her I knew my dogs would be in good hands. Every time she stops by she texts me to let me know how they’re doing and sends me pictures of her playing outside with my dogs. I had been so upset leaving my boys at home alone for long hours while I was working at the hospital and Samantha has given me peace of mind❤️”

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 dogs my entire life and caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I truly love animals of all kinds and would do anything to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat each one with patience, kindness, and love—just like family I already care for pets as part of my everyday life, so adding additional pet care feels very natural to me. While I do work outside of Rover, I’m dependable with time management and communication. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention before and after work, and I schedule my bookings thoughtfully so every animal gets the care, routine, and affection they deserve. I’m very intentional about my availability and only accept bookings I can fully commit to. Mornings, evenings, and days off are dedicated to walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, and I always prioritize a pet’s needs while they’re in my care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I share my home with my own friendly, well-socialized 1-year-old dog and two cats. All interactions are carefully supervised, and I always follow owner preferences when it comes to introductions, space, and routines. I’m attentive to body language and energy levels to ensure everyone feels comfortable and stress-free. If a pet prefers their own space or does best with limited interaction, I fully respect that and can provide separation as needed. I maintain a clean, calm environment and follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions closely. My goal is to create a safe, loving atmosphere where pets feel secure and cared for while you’re away.
“Ellie did an excellent job taking care of our 4 fur babies. This was our first time leaving them and Ellie put our mind at ease. She administered their medicine and took great care of them. She even sent us pictures while we were gone. I knew the first time I met Ellie that she was a very caring person and she was very warm and welcoming. I felt like a knew her forever. I will definitely use Ellie again! Thank you so much Ellie!”

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.
