“Ashley was fantastic with our fur babies. They got lots of love, snuggles and pets. I got pictures along the way which gave me comfort. She’s very responsive to messages. We will definitely hire her again.”

“Awesome! Maggie is better behaved on her walks after spending three days with Liubov then when we left. We had a lovely stroll instead of a mad dash around the block when we got home. Follows instructions to the letter, takes the time necessary to build a relationship. Cannot recommend her more highly.”

“Another great stay with J! Sheets washed, house clean, and our kitchen may have been cleaner than when we left. Our dog loves his long walks and play time. Will use again!”

“Kelli was wonderful with my dogs overnight, she sent updates and I could tell our babies were well loved while we were gone. We will be using Kelli for pet-sitting for our future vacations!”

About: Hi! I’m Tia, in New Port Richey—and I genuinely treat your pets like part of the family. From puppies and senior pups needing meds to curious cats or even guinea pigs, I bring 5 years of experienced pet care to every sitting. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including walking, feeding, and engaging them in play. I’m comfortable following specific routines, ensuring pets get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care. I’m available for last-minute bookings and have a flexible schedule. Since I’m new to Rover, my rates are currently lower to build up reviews—so now is a great time to book with me! Every morning starts with a walk or play session to energize your pet, followed by feeding and medication as needed. My afternoons are scheduled around midday check-ins, enriching activities, and potty breaks. Evenings close with calm cuddles, another walk, and a final safety check—creating a comforting, routine-driven environment that fits seamlessly into my own flexible schedule. I am an online college student which makes me flexible to walk your pets any time! I prioritize both pets’ well-being and their owners’ trust. In clients’ homes, I start with a thorough meet-and-greet and gather all routines, medical needs, and emergency contacts in writing. I keep keys secure and follow sanitation protocols to protect pets and homes alike. I maintain close communication with daily updates—photos, feeding logs, and notes—that quietly assure owners I’m caring attentively. I’m always ready with a safety kit and vet contact for emergencies.
“Linda was an amazing sitter, she was very attentive with my puppies and so sweet. She brought them toys, played with them, and let them out very often while caring for our 2 pups. She also was very quick to respond to me while I was away and she sent me lots of pictures and updates as well. We will definitely be using her again.”

“Honestly so peaceful to not worry about my dogs! Everything went so smooth and Alyssa was keeping me in the loop often! Definitely recommend if you are looking for someone reliable and truth worthy.”

“Karen was absolutely amazing. She was flexible, communicative, accommodating, compassionate, and all around a pleasure to have in our home to watch our five pets. I was able to be at ease more than I’ve ever been with anyone else. I highly recommend Karen and will definitely be using her again.”

“Wow amazing! Amazing communication and even came by for a meet and greet with such short notice. One of our pups had some tummy troubles and she kept us updated the entire time and even made a vet visit on our behalf. The whole process she made a breeze. We will for sure be using again. She loves dogs.. it radiates off her!! Our boys seemed so so happy and we felt comfortable having her stay in our home.”

“We are so glad we gave Rover a try and selected Ken to take care of our pups! Although they were skittish at first he gave them time and patience to warm up and relax without us. Thank you Ken!”

“Stephanie was wonderful with Ares! She arrived 15 minutes earlier than the scheduled time, took him on several walks and to the dog park, and made sure he ate and stayed active with a couple naps in between. She practiced his commands and sent multiple updates throughout the day, keeping me informed the whole time. She even filled out a short report with detailed notes at the end of her visit. Overall, a wonderful experience and we truly appreciate her care! Thank you Stephanie! 😊”

About: If your dog could choose their walker, they’d pick someone who’s calm, attentive, and genuinely enjoys their company—that’s exactly what I aim to bring every time. I’ve been a dog owner my entire life, and caring for animals has always been second nature. Over the years, I’ve also become the go-to for friends and family—both on the West Coast and here in Florida—whenever they need someone dependable to look after their pets. My approach is simple: thoughtful, consistent, and tailored to your dog. Some dogs want a structured, energetic walk. Others need a slower pace and a steady presence. I pay attention, adapt quickly, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for from the start. A bit about me: • Fluent in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Greek (plus conversational Italian and French) — clear, easy communication with you at all times • Polite, respectful, and mindful of your home and routines • Reliable and punctual — I take your trust seriously I understand that leaving your dog with someone else isn’t a small decision. My goal is to make it feel easy, natural, and worry-free—while making sure your dog is genuinely happy along the way. Lastly, I also provide photo and video updates during each walk/visit so you can see exactly how your dog is doing. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be consistent, attentive, and fully present during walks or visits. I’m available most weekdays and weekends, with the ability to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening requests depending on your needs. I value reliability, so once we establish a schedule, you can count on me to stick to it. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I follow your instructions closely and maintain a calm, structured environment. I pay attention to details—leash handling, surroundings, behavior cues—and never rush walks or interactions. I treat every home with respect and every dog with patience, ensuring they feel secure, cared for, and at ease at all times. I also share photo and video updates during visits so you can feel fully at ease while you’re away.
“Absolutely wonderful. It’s a great feeling when you know you can go on vacation and your dogs are loved and well cared for. Above and beyond my expectations. Thank you!!!”

About: I have raised plenty of dogs from puppies. I have experience with being through many basic obedience classes as well as training for a canine good citizen. I am currently a stay at home father, whose kid is now in school. I have time to care for pets and enjoy spending time with them. I will do what I can for your fur babies. I really love playtime and exercise. I can also help with basic commands and keeping pets comfortable.

Port Richey pet parents share their Rover experiences
Wonderful experience. We have a classic shepherd who only really loves her parents (we tried so much socializing, but genes are genes). Christina handled the timid 70 lbs baby with such grace that within a few hours, they were best friends! You can tell she loves what she does and have experience. Even our more aloof cat was cuddling with her by the middle of her stay. If you have pets that dont get watched often, she's definitely your girl!
