About: I grew up with dogs my entire life. Now, I have 2 dogs of my own that I love very much. I watch my family’s dogs, my friend’s dogs, and am looking forward to meeting plenty of other dogs in the nearby areas! I love all dogs and have no preference of age, breed, or size. My schedule is very pet‑friendly because I work from home full‑time Monday through Thursday, which allows me to give consistent attention, structure, and care throughout the day. I’m able to adjust walks, playtime, feeding, and downtime around each dog’s routine. I’m also off every Friday through Sunday, giving me even more flexibility to accommodate different schedules, stay available for bookings, and ensure pets feel supported and comfortable while in my care. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. As a lifelong dog lover and a behavior analyst, I understand how to create a calm, structured, and enriching environment for pets. I use positive reinforcement, clear expectations, and gentle guidance to help dogs feel secure in my home or their own. I pay close attention to their cues, maintain safe spaces, and make sure each pet has everything they need to relax, explore, and enjoy their stay.
“Jessica and her family are so kind, nurturing and loving! They kept me updated with photos and texts throughout my dog’s stay. He was very loved and taken care of. I felt great in the care of Jessica knowing my dog was in the best hands. He had so much fun with her family and I would absolutely love for Jessica to watch him again in the future for me. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!”
“Miriam was great with our two dogs! They got lots of outdoor time and were loved on while we were gone. I got pictures daily and she was so easy to work with during drop off and pick up. Thank you so much for caring for our dogs!”
“I couldn't be happier with the love that Sunny got during his stay with Somer and her beautiful family! The pictures and updates i got daily truly kept my mind at ease that Sunny was getting the one on one care and attention that i give him. I highly recommend their services. Thank you Somer and Garrett! We will be back❤️”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We just had Giovanni take care of our dogs, Sunny and Sky, and once again, he exceeded our expectations! From the moment we dropped them off, we knew they were in great hands. Giovanni has a natural way with pets, and it’s clear that Sunny and Sky adore him. He took them on plenty of walks, played their favorite games, and ensured they were well cared for. We loved receiving regular updates and cute photos of their adventures, which always made us smile. Giovanni’s attention to detail and his genuine love for animals is unmatched. We can’t thank Giovanni enough for making our dogs feel at home while we were away. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be booking him again!”

About: i have a puppy of my own so i don’t just watch your pet. i’ll provide real-time photo updates so you never have to worry. I treat your dog like family, ensuring they feel safe, active, and loved until you return. i’m currently working part time and i make my own schedule so i will be able to adjust my days around the time I’m needed Calm Hands for Anxious Pups, Energy Burner for High-Drive Dogs, Cuddles, Play, and Peace of Mind, Always Treating Your Pups As One Of My Own
About: I've cared for dogs and cats for families for several years, including overnight stays and in-home care. I've also grown up around both dogs and cats, so I'm comfortable with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I'm comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, medications, and following detailed care instructions. I know being away from your pet can be stressful, so I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being well cared for while you're away. 🗓️ AVAILABILITY: Mon–Thurs after 5 PM • Fri–Sun open availability I’m available for evening care Monday–Thursday and have flexible/all-day availability Friday–Sunday! 🐾 I’m currently working full time at a podiatry office as a medical assistant so my weekends and evenings are usually free and I have plenty of time to care for other pets. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and personality. In a client’s home, I keep their normal schedule as closely as possible, including meals, walks, playtime, medications, and plenty of attention. For overnight stays, I make sure pets have company and feel comfortable in their own home while their family is away. I’m also respectful of the home and keep everything clean and tidy. Most importantly, I want each pet to feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
About: Animals have been the center of my life since childhood, from helping my dad on a horse farm with dogs, cats, and chickens, to raising my own pets over the years. In my home we currently have two small pups and two parakeets. My husband & I use a tag-team approach to make sure your dog always gets the attention they need. I work a standard Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm job, and my husband works in event production. When one of us is tied up with work, the other steps right in. This gives us the flexibility to easily manage feeding schedules, potty breaks, and daily walks, ensuring your dog's routine is never interrupted. Not currently boarding -- we are hoping start boarding to once we save up for our first home together! We're looking for a nice big space to ensure our pets & yours will have a wonderful place to roam & play!
About: Been taking care of the dogs in the family and friends. They prefer me to take care of them. And animals love the attention i give them. I love being around the dogs and they enjoy all of the attention and being spoiled, loved and cuddle, And go home happy with fun. They get lots of attention, outside time/walks. And I’ll send daily pics of your fur babies and we will play and have fun as they are on vacation. And I will give them a bath the night before or day of.
“Nadia was a very loving and communicative dog sitter! Her family is all very accommodative and engaged with our dog and he had a fantastic time! We would definitely have her dog sit our dog again!”
“I loved receiving pictures of my babies while I was gone. And they instantly felt comfortable with Launa and Ethan and their home. They made themselves right at home ❤️”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cared for my grandma’s pets, making sure they’re happy, fed, and loved. I treat every dog like family always. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to give pups attention, playtime, and care. Boarding works best for me on weekends after 2pm, but I’m happy to help on weekdays if needed — we can always work something out. For dog walking, I’m available most weekdays and flexible with scheduling to fit your pet’s routine. I have a fenced-in yard with plenty of space and grass for safe outdoor play. I can provide cat food, but I’ll need owners to bring any dog food and a crate if their pup uses one. I’m happy to help with basic dog grooming like brushing and bathing — I just don’t trim nails. Your pet will always be cared for and comfortable while they’re with me!
“Courtney was very sweet and took great care of my pup! She exceeded expectations by taking my dogo to the doggy park and for frequent walks. Her communication throughout the day was great and she took the best photos of my pup interacting with others. Would definitely use her as a sitter again!”
“First time sitting with them and it went amazing! Bashful seemed to love it so much and it was supposed to just be a cheaper option than my normal sitter but i will most likely be doing the switch and using them from now on!!”
The median cost per night for pet boarding in Port Richey is $40
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Richey
Christine was a pleasure to work with. She is friendly and was very caring for my dog during her boarding at Christine’s house. Christine was very communicative and easy to get a hold of. She provided daily updates on my dog with pictures on most days. I could see how easy-going she was, but at the same time was very attentive to my dog’s needs and my instructions. Christine is clearly a dog lover and it shows with how sweet she was with my dog, and cared for her as if it were her own. This was my first time using Rover, and I highly recommend Christine as a boarder. I was not disappointed at all at giving Rover a chance. Christine gave me the confidence that everything would be fine. I could tell this was not Christine’s first rodeo. My dog warmed-up very quickly to her and there were no issues with my dog getting along with Christine. I plan to use her in the future when I need a safe and reliable person to board my dog.
We absolutely love our Rover sitter! She’s such a sweet young woman and truly takes amazing care of our pets. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Our babies are always so happy and comfortable with her, which gives us so much peace of mind. Reliable, caring, and attentive. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur babies!
Boarding my cat Tilly with Kirstie was a 10/10 experience!! She was so caring towards my cat and provided me with lots of updates. She was very accommodating with Tilly’s diet! Kirstie clearly loves animals and I can’t recommend her enough for any of your pets’ needs!
Lulu had an amazing over night stay with Michelle and at such short notice too. Michelle was very accommodating to us. Lulu iisnt around other dogs at home but Michelle introduced her to her own dogs in such a safe and careful manner that Lulu actually ran around and played with her dogs and felt such at ease there. I would highly recommend Michelle and I will be booking with her again on the future.
This was my first time using a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took such great care of Lehx, and I felt completely at ease the entire time. The drop-off and pick-up process was smooth, and I loved receiving pictures and videos—it really meant a lot. She also made sure to ask questions beforehand to understand his needs, which I truly appreciated. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!
I could not have wished for a better sitter for my Labrador Retriever, Winnie! Robin is a wonderful and warm person who truly loved and spoiled Winnie during the three weeks she looked after her. Robin sent pictures and updates every day, which gave me great peace of mind. Her two dogs are happy and friendly, and Winnie got along beautifully with them. I would not hesitate to recommend Robin to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.
