About: Being a dog mom for over 10 years and a cat mom for 3 years, now being a mom to my own babies and staying home full time with the ability to open my home or help others with their fur babies is my favorite hobby. I have a beautiful golden retriever that I’ve had since she was 6 weeks so I’ve been able to be with her and learn all stages of dogs. I have a large, fenced in backyard so plenty of space to play or sun bathe for the pups. I’m currently a stay at home mom to a newborn so I now have extra time for this hobby. I love dogs and sitting them is my fun way of interacting and enjoying a new pup without getting another one of my own. Dogs have always been members of the family to me. Spending quality time with them by going on long walks with plenty time to sniff and stimulate their brains, cuddling on the couch watching movies or playing with their favorite toy.
“Nicole was really great with our pup! I’m really grateful she made him part of her family for the holidays. She was always responsive and sent us some really great photos. When she dropped off something we’d left at her home, he was so excited to see her again! We’d definitely use her again.”

“Mai was awesome! Her dog is super friendly and handled my skittish dog very well. Being the first time I boarded I was a bit hesitant. I arrived and realized I had left his bag with food and the leash! She assured me she had extra and not to worry about having to go back to get my bag. Overall great experience.”

About: I've always owned & cared for animals my whole life. I grew up around a farm when I was a kid and I've always had dogs & cats of my own. I currently own 2 Great Danes and 3 cats. I currently work full time but will take appointments whenever I am off work and available. I will only take appointments for pet sitting/daycare in my own home. Since I have 5 animals of my own I cannot leave them for long periods of time to stay in your home. I do have a very medium/large crate in my home if your animal needs to be separated. I own my own home close to Starkey Park and several dog parks. My yard is completly fenced in with 6ft privacy fencing. I also have a screened in pool for those pets that like the water. I have a large sized pet door that goes from the house out to the fenced yard. My cats are very friendly and love my dogs but take a little to warm up to other dogs. They also have a small pet door to escape to the garage if they are overwhelmed . My dogs get along with all other dogs and don't mind cats.
“Our fur baby felt right at home with Stephanie! He was treated like a king and was happy and relaxed while away from home. The daily updates and pics gave us peace of mind. We've already booked our next stay!”

“Tracee was wonderful! Sidney had a lot of fun and pretty sure he missed her when we brought him home. He’s excited for our next vacation so he can go see Tracee again!”


“Joanna + family are the perfect sitters for our beloved Malcolm!! Doggie friends to play with, plenty of room, fenced backyard. He was in heaven! Joanna is professional, organized, friendly and experienced, and took our request very last minute. Extremely responsive on the text-app with info and pictures and we felt like we could really relax on our vacation. Highly Recommended! We will be back!! Thank You Joanna :)”

“If I could give six stars I would. Kristie and her daughter were wonderful friends to my dog over Thanksgiving break, and I didn’t worry for a second. She is great about sending pictures and videos, and I can tell in all of them that Indo had an amazing time and was given a lot of love and attention!”

“Cassie did such a great job taking care of our two pups over the weekend, she has a large backyard with shades, and shared a lot of picture of them playing with her dogs. Her own dogs are super friendly and were very playful. I am so grateful Cassie accepted our dog boarding request at the last minute, she was a lifesaver I would definitely be using her services again.”

“Grace took such amazing care of Bella, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch her. She kept sending us pictures all the time, which made us feel so comfortable and reassured seeing Bella happy and well taken care of. What really stood out was how much Grace cared about doing things the right way — she asked thoughtful questions about where Bella sleeps, how she eats, and what works best for her. You could tell she genuinely wanted to give Bella the best care possible. She was kind, attentive, and truly treated Bella like her own. I felt completely comfortable leaving Bella with her, and that peace of mind means everything. Highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.”

“Laura was very nice and made me feel like my dogs were in good hands. My dogs had plenty of room to run. Very thankful for her services. I have two big dogs so I always get nervous when other people watch my dogs but Laura and her son did a fantastic job. Thank you!”


“Carlos was great at communicating with me while he watched our pup Simon! He was well taken care of and seemed very happy and content upon our return. We will have Carlos watch Simon again for sure!”
“Sibrena was amazing with my dog who requires a lot of attention. She sent me pictures to keep me up to date with the happenings of her day. Thank you so much for caring for my dog!”

“I booked Lynn with little notice so my girls and I could take a quick trip before I needed to return to my classroom for the school year. Although, she prefers a weeks notice, which I understand, I appreciate that she was very quick to respond and was willing to help me out. This was my first time using rover and I was so pleased and put at ease the second I met Lynn! Not only is her home spotless, she is warm, quick to communicate, transparent, and makes you feel comfortable from the minute she greets you and your fur baby! She is also very knowledgeable since she used to breed huskies and has a lot of experience with many different breeds. So she had a lot of helpful tips that she was willing to share with me from her experience! My dog, Daisy, seemed very comfortable with her and seemed right at home. I love that she only takes one dog at a time and so she can give your fur baby her full attention. I also appreciated that she sent me updates and pictures. Overall, Lynn was super responsible and trust worthy. I would use Lynn in a heartbeat the next time we plan a trip, but I will give her at least a weeks notice next time around ?! Thanks again, Lynn, for taking such good care of Daisy!”

“Chris C kept my kitten for four days and three nights. This was her first time being away from me for more than eight hours. He was absolutely awesome. He sent me videos pictures text messages and I felt comfortable the entire time I was away from her. she’s almost 6 months and still a baby. He treated her like she was his own and so did his awesome cat Stasche I would definitely recommend him and I will also rebook with him whenever Skye needs a sitter really nice guy and his home was perfect for my baby to enjoy herself”

“Laura was amazing with my Edna, who is not a very confident dog. Laura has a warm and gentle nature and made friends with Edna in minutes. Her activity notes and photos showed Edna very comfortable and enjoying attention from other family members as well. Laura is communicative and attentive to detail. But I think Edna only cared about all the affection. I hope we will be able to board with Laura again!”


“I can not recommend Katie and Patrick enough! They are absolutely wonderful and took care of my two large dogs for about a week over Christmas. They were recommended by other members of my family and they didn't disappoint. They have and awesome yard with lots of other dog friends and keep them all busy, playing, and occupied all day long. They send tons of photos and give updates each day so you don't have to worry about anything. Thank you so much for everything, Katie and Patrick!”

Port Richey pet parents share their Rover experiences
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!

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.

Our family was going on a little vacation, and needed someone to care for our yorkie, Thomas, while we were gone. This is the first time we have had someone we don’t know care for him. Juan was amazing! He shared updates and pics with us and Thomas was extremely happy! We had to stay an extra night on our trip and Juan accommodated that and was able to care for Thomas an extra night. We will use Juan’s services again. Thank you Juan!
