“Andrea did a great job checking in on our kitties while we were away! She gave lots of updates on how they were doing and followed all instructions that I provided. We’d definitely recommend her!”
“Rada was amazing with our two Goldendoodles, Maggie and Dixie, this past week! She kept us updated and took such great care of them while we were away. We came home to two happy pups and truly appreciated the peace of mind she gave us. Highly recommend!”
“Cassie always makes sure to find my cat and take a picture of him to send to me. He often hides under a bed, but she finds him. I truly appreciate the extra effort Cassie gives. I would definitely recommend her and rate her 5 stars!!”
“I can't say enough positive things about Angela. She was able to accommodate my last minute trip. She kept in contact throughout the day, provided adorable updates and pictures. Even though I was out of town, I felt my animals were in good hands, and I had peace of mind. I'm actually looking forward to going out of town again because I know my babies will be well taken care of. Thank you Angela!! I appreciate you!”
“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.”
“Samantha has been amazing. I was extremely reluctant to allow a stranger into my home and around my dogs but when I saw her profile and after I had a meet and greet with her I knew my dogs would be in good hands. Every time she stops by she texts me to let me know how they’re doing and sends me pictures of her playing outside with my dogs. I had been so upset leaving my boys at home alone for long hours while I was working at the hospital and Samantha has given me peace of mind❤️”
“Kassandra was simply fabulous. I have an elder dog is is not very trusting because he was discarded on the street, but she was very patient with my "spicy" boy. My Pomeranian Pickle loves Kassandra to death and was happy to see her every time she came by. 10/10 would hire again.”
“Carly is such a joy! She replies so quickly, is reliable and responsible, and my pet loves her. She sent me lots of photos from a drop in visit and followed all instructions perfectly. I look forward to her watching my pup again soon!”
“Valerie did a fantastic job checking in on my kitty, Benny. I loved receiving her updates and seeing the photos of her visits. Great and very quick communication, I will definitely be using her services again when needed. Thank you for taking such great care of Benny!”
About: I have had years of experience with dogs and cats Including experience working in an animal hospital as well as a kennel, and living in a multi dog household myself. 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.
“Christy was such a wonderful sitter and our dog really loved her! I can't recommend her enough! We can't wait to use Christy again because she made us so comfortable away from home knowing our doggie was in good hands.”
“Blue absolutely loved them and I will definitely be rebooking with them on my next trip. My high energy dog was worn out each time and my family was comfortable with them. They were super attentive and friendly. I was comfortable with them taking care of my dog while I had no service and was not worried because of how much he loved them at the meeting.”
“Thank you so much Karina! Your service is so appreciated and it is so amazing to know we can go out of time and trust our baby is being checked on and in good hands! Thank you for your time and effort with your drop in visits to keep or cat happy! We couldn’t be happier with the care provided 💕!”
About: My family and I have been fostering dogs for over 10 years. I am a HUGE animal lover and literally treat them like my child haha! I’m actually wanting to start my own pet business one day and figured I should get as much experience as possible! I do currently have a part time job but am home after 2pm with the rest of my day available. After that timeframe, I’m more than happy to take your pets out every 0-2 hours to use the restroom and also play with them at least once a day I’m located in a golf course neighborhood with a patio. The area is definitely big enough to take long walks around the neighborhood so that they can burn some energy! I have experience with unfriendly animals as well and are able to take care of them regardless of how they act
“Julleyka was amazing! Came up clutch for me in a tight spot with very late notice. Julleyka went above & beyond, not to mention my chocolate lab Max adored Julleyka. J also helped water herbs & collect mail. Would highly recommend!”
“Kelli was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of our dogs while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. Her loving and attentive nature was evident from the start, and it was clear that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for in her hands. She was reliable, communicative, and kept everything clean and organized. We truly appreciated the care and attention she provided and would highly recommend Kelli to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets. Thank you, Kelli, for treating our dogs like your own! 🐾❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Port Richey
I always have peace of mind every time I leave Selina and Moki. I've been using Rover and the same lady, Brianna, and she's been amazing! She puts up and follows my list of instructions and would send me photos and videos every day during the duration of my vacation or time away. I strongly recommend Rover, and most especially, Brianna.
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!
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.

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Port Richey on Rover is $18.87 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 5,978 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Port Richey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Port Richey. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
