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.

My pup Cora and I have had the pleasure of Ashley walking for us before, but she recently came to the rescue when Cora had a medical issue and needed a last-minute drop-in visit. Ashley is responsive, caring, and reliable. I would recommend her without hesitation!

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.

Linda was so great with our two older dogs. She kept us up to date on how they were doing and sent pictures every day. She even washed their food bowls and swept our floor for us which we didn't ask her to do. We will definitely use Linda again in the future.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs and cats, and I always tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I’m attentive, patient, and calm under pressure—whether that means helping with basic training, administering medications, or providing extra comfort for anxious pets. Every animal I care for is treated like family, with plenty of love, consistency, and understanding. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I’m currently a student and a proud member of my school’s weightlifting team! My schedule is flexible in the afternoons and evenings, allowing me to care for pets between 4:00 and 9:00 p.m. on weekdays. On weekends, I’m completely free and can dedicate extra time to walks, playtime, and cuddles. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure by following their usual routines and respecting their individual needs. In my care, pets are always supervised, kept in clean and safe environments, and given plenty of love and attention. I’m careful to follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided. Whether I’m in my home or yours, your pet’s well-being always comes first.

About: I've been taking care of pets for about 9 and 1/2 years. Two of the dogs I've owned have had epilepsy so I know what to do in case of a seizure, and make sure they receive their medications on time. I've also have owned two deaf dogs so I know the challenges that comes with them! While I haven't personally owned any cats, I'm open to to learning and making sure your cat is in good hands! I'm currently unemployed so I have all the time in the world to take care of pets. At home, I personally take care of my three dalmatians whenever my mom isn't able to, but I still will have plenty of time to take care of your pet(s)! I always make sure to be gentle and caring with pets in either situations. Whether it's playing in the yard, or just snuggling on the couch, the animal's well-being is my top priority!

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.

We had a wonderful experience with Anthony as our pet sitter. From the moment we met him, he was extremely polite, professional, and trustworthy. Our cat Betty was clearly in great hands while we were away, she was calm, healthy, and very well cared for when we returned. On top of that, everything was left clean and perfectly in order, which we truly appreciated. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing both our home and our cat were being looked after so carefully. We would highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we will absolutely ask for his help again in the future.

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.

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!

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.

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.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Port Richey

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Port Richey on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 5,778 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Port Richey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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. 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Port Richey. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
