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.
About: What makes me stand out as a pet sitter is my dedication to personalized care and my deep understanding of each pet’s unique needs. Unlike others, I offer tailored attention, ensuring every pet feels comfortable and loved. My extensive experience, reliability, and commitment to creating a safe and comforting environment set me apart. I go above and beyond to provide exceptional care, giving you confidence and peace of mind while you’re away. As a work-from-home professional, pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine. Being home allows me to provide constant attention, timely feedings, and regular playtime for pets. My flexible schedule ensures I can cater to each pet’s needs throughout the day, offering a comforting and engaging environment. This setup allows me to be highly responsive and attentive, ensuring pets receive the best care possible. We will go on walks in the morning, lunch, and evenings (being mindful of the heat on their feet’s!) In my home, I provide a safe and cozy environment for pets, with a consistent routine for feeding, playtime, and exercise. I offer personalized attention and keep everything clean and hazard-free. I’m also prepared for emergencies to ensure your pet’s well-being at all times.
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.
“Thank you so much, we love the pictures you sent and we can tell Winnie was so much at home. Would highly recommend your services. Thank you for everything. She’s exhausted. We’ll definitely use you again.”
“Best service ever! Kristin was in constant communication with us. We received plenty of pictures and even FaceTime with our FurBaby. Great Job ladies. Thank you”
“Mai is an absolutely gem🙂 This was my first time using a pet sitter and she made the experience for both my pup and I nothing short of amazing! Right from the start my pup was calm and accepting with her and he is usually pretty vocal and active when first meeting new people. She was welcoming, reassuring and understanding all while showing lots of TLC. I really loved getting the pictures. They made me feel happy and comforted know he was adjusting well and enjoying himself. If you want someone who will care for your fur babies as you care for your fur babies Mai is the best! Thanks Mai😊”
About: I have over eight years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I worked in multiple professional pet care environments, where I would handle feeding routines, play groups, enrichment, cleaning, and monitoring behavior. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets as if they were my own. I enjoy taking lots of cute photos of your pets, and I can also do baths and nail grindings 🐶❤️ I’m available most days and times, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I’m very flexible, so just let me know your preferred time and I’ll do my best to accommodate it. Visiting pets have plenty of space to feel comfortable and safe. I have two dogs on my property: one is my small dog, JJ, who does great with other dogs as long as she doesn’t feel threatened—she just prefers her personal space. The other dog belongs to my roommate and stays on her side of the house, with no access to visiting pets. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can play, explore, and burn off energy under supervision. I also offer basic grooming services such as bathing, nail grinding, brush-outs, and ear cleaning. If you’re interested, I can also provide festive photoshoots for your pets! For an additional price 🐾
“I couldn’t recommend Laura enough! Remmi is a little pip with a huge personality and he had so much fun he wasn’t ready to leave! Remmi will definitely be back and being a new puppy mom I am so grateful to have found a trusting sitter for him! Thank you so much Laura for welcoming Remmi and giving him a safe place!”
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.
“Thank you so much for welcoming Mambo into your home and caring for him while I was working. It was his first doggie care away from home and I was confident and at ease that he was in good hands with you . I especially appreciate the photo and updates :) Much appreciation ✌️??”
“This is our first time to use Rover app and we are very happy that our 2 babies stayed with Clary. She kept us updated and she took care of our dogs. We will definitely use her service again and again. Kudos to her!”
“Christine was excellent with Kobe, she sent pics and updates of Kobe and he really looked comfortable being in her care. I will definitely be booking with her again soon.”
“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: Welcome to a place where your dog is more than a guest—they’re family and part of the Wolfpack 🐾. With a background as a Veterinary Technician, I bring over 15 years of hands-on experience to my pet-sitting services, ensuring your furry friend’s safety, comfort, and happiness. My daily work with animals taught me not only to care for them when they’re healthy but also to recognize and meet their unique needs, whether they’re young pups or seasoned companions. Here, your dog joins our Wolfpack alongside Penny and Mayla, who love meeting new friends. Our fenced-in backyard offers plenty of room for play, and we’ll make sure they’re part of our adventures, whether it’s hiking trails, trips to the beach, or relaxing days at the dog park. Each stay is filled with family-style love and plenty of activity to keep them engaged and happy. Drop-off and pick-up times are flexible, with morning drop-off starting at 8 a.m. and evening options after 6 p.m. Stays are offered in 24-hour periods, and if you need an extended stay or later pickup, we can make it work with additional daycare options. When your dog stays with us, they’re part of the pack—safe, happy, and treated with the same love and care as my own Pet care is simply part of our everyday life here! Working from home lets us stay close to the pack all day, giving every furry guest the comfort and attention they need. We’re out in our fenced backyard for playtime multiple times a day, and we love heading out for hikes, extended walks, or a visit to the dog park when it’s safe. Every pet in our care gets plenty of love, play, and companionship, just like our own dogs. Your pet’s safety and happiness mean the world to us, and we make sure they’re in a safe, warm, and loving environment. Proof of up-to-date vaccines is required before any stay, and we skip the dog park during times of community health risks. With us, your pet will have freedom to roam in a homey, family-like setting. If they’re used to a crate, we can accommodate that too. Penny and Mayla love having new friends join the pack, and we’re here to keep an eye on everyone’s wellbeing and fun throughout the day.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Port Richey
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Port Richey on Rover is $32.1 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,092 sitters in Port Richey, 84% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
