About: I've taken care of animals since I was younger. We've had quite a few different types of animals from bunnies and hamsters to cats and dogs. It fits easily into my routine because I'm home all the time. I don't go anywhere really and I have plenty of free time to spare. I have a fenced in back yard, I have a big house with plenty of room for them, and I have a few other animals that are friendly.
“Kristie was amazing!!! Suki is very anxious but came back super happy and relaxed. Kristie was very responsive and sent great pictures during her time! She was also very understanding with Suki’s needs.”
“Biscuit came home with a smile. He loved playing with Lisa and Scott’s doggies. Being a senior dog he has been hungry and resting since we picked him up. I know he had a great time.”
About: I have had pets almost my entire life from dogs, cats, birds, and hamsters. I have not had reptiles of my own but like them too. Animals are a life commitment and I have seen many throughout their entire life including senior and end of life care. I genuinely love animals. They are part of our family. Yours will be cared for as if they are a member of my family. Currently, Maverick, a black lab is my soulmate. He is well-trained, intelligent, full of joy and great with other dogs. His favorite pastime is playing ball or just running around the yard with a ball in his mouth. He enjoys going for rides and adventures such as going to the park or beach. He loves to swim and play in the water. I am retired and available anytime, night or day. I am also on call for emergency situations as well, allowing same day bookings. I truly understand the importance of taking care of our special family members and there are times when circumstances are beyond our control. I am not available for boarding or house sitting because I have Maverick. If you are looking for boarding or overnight care, please consider scheduling multiple drop-in visits for times that fit their routine or we can discuss other alternatives to ensure your babies needs are met. My home is obviously dog friendly and the yard is secure. Maverick is mostly indoors due to the heat. Car rides, adventures, walks, indoor a s outdoor playtime, along with water activities are incorporated. Maverick is not a cuddle bug but he does like to relax with me on the couch.
About: Taken care of many different dogs in various shapes, sizes, and breeds. As a dog owner, my dog and I went through all the training to help her receive “Canine Good Citizen.” I utilize positive reinforcement and appropriate walking etiquette. Remote worker, so my evenings are weekends open to care for your sweet fur family member. During the day, I focus on my fur babies. As a dog walker, I allow the dog to sniff and take their time to navigate before moving too quickly along. Upon first meeting, I take the time for the dog to warm up. Lots of patience and love… and maybe treats if allowed.
“Cannot recommend enough! Best doggy daycare around. Max and Luna (her pups) are precious angels, and Joanna is so sweet, kind, accommodating and will care for your pets like they are her own. My dog is a member of my family and I would trust Joanna with her in any and every situation. 100/10 recommend”

“We were in the area for four days as a surprise Christmas trip for our kids. Our two dogs travel everywhere with us, but the state parks & beaches we were trying to visit were not dog friendly. We found Laura on Rover, & she was PERFECT! She responded quickly, accommodated our four day need (even with a holiday!), & provided our two dogs with a fun, safe place to be each day while we adventured with the kids. Our two, Milo & Sandy, both excitedly ran to play with Laura each day, & we received photos of them enjoying outdoor & indoor time. We are so grateful to have found Laura!”
“Clary was excellent with Simon and Hazel! She gave regular updates and sent so many photos. Both pups were comfortable with her and I'm glad she was able to watch them ^_^”
“Ashley is absolutely wonderful! It is easy to see how much she loves ani(dogs) she has shown so much patience to Smoke who has anxiety. She sends daily pictures to keep us informed, you can see how much fun he is having. Ashley has been flexible with my schedule.”
“This is the 3rd time I have left Suki with Mai. She has a great time playing with Fogi and is always extremely tuckered out when I pick her up. Mai is great and shows a lot of affection to Suki and I will continue to use Mai every chance I get in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Fantastic from start to end. Betsy was open and accommodating. Making sure Lilly had everything she needed. Did introduce Jackson to her and it was great. Lilly was happy and playing running all day. Definitely using again. Definitely recommend”
“Anne was absolutely wonderful to work with. It was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter, and first time with River. She made the experience exceptionally pleasing. She’s a gem.”
About: I love dogs and have been around them my entire life. I have had family dogs since I was 8 years old. I now own a 3 and a half year old english bulldog/pug mix who is super friendly and loves to be around other dogs! I also own a 4 year old german shepherd, who is also super friendly and loves to play. I do live in a house with a fenced year for plenty of room to run around. I have plenty of toys to play with, but you are welcome to provide your own! I do request that you provide their food and treats. I work remotely giving me the ability to be able to be attentive to your animal and have flexibility. I am free on mornings, late afternoons and evenings. I have a good sized yard for the dogs to play. I want every dog to feel the least amount of disruption/stress, so I try to ensure their typical daily routine is followed when staying with me.
About: Hey neighbors! 🌼 We all know the feeling: the schedule is packed, but your furry friend is itching to explore the world. Since I grew up with two dogs of my own, I truly miss that daily "dog energy" and would love to put my experience to good use by keeping your pup active and happy!🥰 Whether you have a high-energy zoomie-king or a cozy senior who prefers a slow sniff-around—I’ll move at your dog’s pace. A bit about me: • Life-long experience: Having raised one dog myself (Poodle) an was Born in a Dog Loving Family (Family Dog: Bouvier) I'm very comfortable with different temperaments and behaviors. I currently have a very open schedule and can be completely flexible with timing. Whether it’s a last-minute walk or a long adventure, I’m available whenever your dog needs me.✨ Since I raised a dog of my own, I understand that every pet has its own personality and specific needs. Here is how I approach care: In the client's home: My priority is maintaining the dog's routine to keep them stress-free. I focus on clear communication with the owner regarding feeding schedules, favorite walking routes, and any 'house rules.' I treat every home with the utmost respect and ensure the dog feels safe and companionship-focused while their owner is away. During walks and care: I don’t just 'walk' the dog; I engage with them. Because I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of free time, I can offer extended sessions and don't have to rush. I’m also very observant of body language to ensure they are always comfortable and safe in every situation. • Senior-dogs-Walks • High-Energy- Runs • Training-Integration

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Port Richey on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Port Richey commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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.

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.
