I have lots of free time on weekends and holidays to make sure your pet gets the care needed, as well as time to provide care during the week days I have done lots of pet sitting in clients homes before and personally feel that is the best way to keep your pet’s comfortable. Yours pets comfort is impotent to me.
“Amazing couple that were always on time and excited to see my dogs. My dogs can be a handful and cause a lot of mess and I came back from a vacation with a spotless home and my dogs were all happy. I will use them again and highly recommend.”
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!)

About: I’ve taken care of pets ranging from young adult to senior age. I rescued a feral kitty with major injuries, worked with Tampa Bay Humane Society to take care of her health concerns, and officially adopted her in 2024. I have experience with caring for pets with seizures, needing diaper changes, having specific dietary needs, and more. I’m available any time, currently I have a lot of free time so I’m able to give your pets the attention they need even on short notice. I have a cat in one hole and multiple dogs in another and I give them whatever they need to be happy with me, in my clients home I do exactly as is needed
“Our Jack Russell, Howard, is a skittish dog but it didn’t take long for him to warm up to Donna and Nelson. We were gone for 4 days and he was happy and safe the entire time. They spent quality time with him not just an in , feed, pee and leave. That meant the most. They made sure we all covered the bases as far as what we wanted and what to do if there were an emergency. We will definitely book with them again.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs and cats, and I always tailor my care to meet their individual needs. I’m attentive, patient, and calm under pressure—whether that means helping with basic training, administering medications, or providing extra comfort for anxious pets. Every animal I care for is treated like family, with plenty of love, consistency, and understanding. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving you complete peace of mind. I’m currently a student and a proud member of my school’s weightlifting team! My schedule is flexible in the afternoons and evenings, allowing me to care for pets between 4:00 and 9:00 p.m. on weekdays. On weekends, I’m completely free and can dedicate extra time to walks, playtime, and cuddles. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure by following their usual routines and respecting their individual needs. In my care, pets are always supervised, kept in clean and safe environments, and given plenty of love and attention. I’m careful to follow all feeding, medication, and exercise instructions exactly as provided. Whether I’m in my home or yours, your pet’s well-being always comes first.

“We had a wonderful experience with Anthony as our pet sitter. From the moment we met him, he was extremely polite, professional, and trustworthy. Our cat Betty was clearly in great hands while we were away, she was calm, healthy, and very well cared for when we returned. On top of that, everything was left clean and perfectly in order, which we truly appreciated. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing both our home and our cat were being looked after so carefully. We would highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we will absolutely ask for his help again in the future.”
About: I have extensive experience volunteering at a dog shelter, where I spent several months walking various dogs around the facility and playing with them in a gated park area. Additionally, I have provided dog sitting services for multiple families, which involved visiting their homes several times a day to feed the dogs, take them outside, and spend quality time with them. I have also been around dogs my entire life and currently have two of my own. As a college student, I have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to prioritize pet care, giving dogs the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. I believe in showering pets with love and attention, especially when they are in a new environment. In my home, I dedicate a significant part of my day to my pets whether it's playing outside or snuggling on the couch. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I ensure they feel comfortable and safe by maintaining their routine, providing plenty of playtime, and offering affectionate companionship.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Richey
We are so lucky to have found Breezy here. Our first time using drop in services and we had complete peace of mind while out of town knowing our fur babies would be cared for in our home. Every drop in we received photos and details. Plus our dogs loveeeee Breezy. I’m pretty sure they could care less that we weren’t home because their new favorite person was there.
I've lost track of how many times we have booked Karma and she has done a great job every single time. It's gotten to the point where I'm not sure we would ever leave town if Karma couldn't take care of our three dogs! :-) We were away for a full week this time and knowing the pups were in Karma's care gave us complete peace of mind. There is a reason (actually a LOT of reasons) why she is at the top of Rover's ratings!
This is my first rime using Rover and I must say, I am truly pleased with Briana! Her daily updates and photos definitely made me feel so much at ease with leaving my babies behind during my 9 day vacation to Rome. I was very worried at first but immediately felt relief when I received her 1st visit report card with photos and even videos! Briana had the lowest price on here and I can honestly say that her service was top notch! Will definitely use this and hopefully her again if I go on another trip.
Our deepest thanks to Bethany! I was so afraid to leave my cat Red girl alone, we have never left her. Bethany came and went over every detail I had and made me so comfortable. I knew Red was in great hands. We received pictures and messages. I wouldn’t want anyone else to take care of my pets in future trips! Excellent job I wish I could leave a 100 stars for Bethany’s review.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Port Richey stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
