“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!”
“Christina is the best. She works with my foster, Mystic - lovingly known as Ms. Chief... get it? Mischief! This sweet, but timid and scared, rescue pup has come out of her shell and made great progress. Christina is punctual, gives feedback on every visit, and captures special moments in photographs. And Ms. Chief loves her! Thank you Christie!”
“Cassie is always wonderful with my crazy scaredy cattos. Thorough, attention to detail, great communication. I am always relaxed knowing that she is looking out for them and making sure all is well. Thank you!”
“This was an excellent experience Katherine was on time every day and Oliver was well taken care of. All drop in visits lasted the full half an hour. I highly recommend Katherine she was amazing.”
“I can’t stress enough how amazing Nelson and Donna are! The reviews helped me select them to take care of our four cats, it was difficult to leave our furry babies behind to go on vacation. Nelson and Donna took such good care of them, sending me updates and pictures, putting our minds at rest. I will definitely rebook them again.”
About: I’ve had dogs in my life since day one. I do believe dogs should be treated like family and that’s how I will treat any that come over! Safety is my number one priority! I work from home so I’ll always be here fur your babies. They will definitely get enough love and care! I have my home office in the front of the house and doggy beds in there so they can be comfortable too! I have a fenced in backyard as well as a screened patio. I will also make sure any training you doing will be held up here. Play Time will always be supervised to ensure the safety of the dogs.
About: I’ve taken care of pets and fur babies most of my life. My parents were farmers before they married and they raised me with all kinds of animals around me. Had chickens gooses ducks dogs cats … later had my own. I’m currently working part time. I’m also my daughter’s homeschool teacher. So I have plenty of time for taking care of a pet from time to time. I live in a rent a house but have no fenced yard. As tte rules for tenants are no pets policy I am currently not able to board any fur babies. I’ll update as soon as possible if any changes occur.
About: Starting at age 9 I raised pigs on my grandpas farm and showed them in the fair. I then decided to become vegan at age 13 after realizing the brutal way animals were treated. Last year I enrolled as a foster parent for the local animal shelter. I fostered a sweet, active pit bull named Rebel for two months. Then I fostered a few kittens. I now have my cat that’s grown up with me since I was 4. Unfortunately I can’t commit to having my own dog right now which is why I am on Rover. I have also fostered a kitten from the street that needed to be bottle fed and kept warm. I have open availability to pet sit as I am in the process of finding a job. I can start at 8 am and work till 8pm. I give plenty of pet scratches, it is just as much for me as it is for them. I value pets health, and I enjoy seeing animals get proper exercise and good nutrition. I make sure the pets in my care are in good health.
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
“Lindsay was fantastic with Indie, Francine, and Pearl. She was punctual, attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and went above and beyond—cleaning up messes and making sure everyone was comfortable. We appreciated the personalized care and will definitely be using her again. Highly recommended.”
About: I truly love pets and have cared for them my whole life. A dog and a cat have always been part of my family and they are my true friends. I will treat your pets with the same love, respect, and devotion as my own. I will do everything I can to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, calm, and surrounded by care, love, and attention. I’m a retired with plenty of time and a genuine love for animals. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, spend time with your cat, or stay with your pets at home, I’ll make sure they feel happy, safe, comfortable, and loved. I may be new to professional pet care, but thanks to my many years of personal experience and genuine love for pets, I strive to create a safe, secure, and calm environment for every pet under my care. I will respect your home and your pet's daily routine and follow all instructions with attention to detail. My priority is to ensure your pets are protected, comfortable, and completely at peace in a clean, stable environment you can trust.
About: My family is grateful to still care for our 17 year old senior dog, Ace. We have had Ace since he was 8 months old. I have the energy to handle a puppy and the patience to handle a senior dog. I also have my own cat, Sophia. I truly understand the temperaments of both animals. I’ve been trusted to care for my own pets as well as my friends. I am available throughout the week as I am dedicated to Rover full time. I have my own vehicle so that makes traveling seamless. I am available from 10am-10pm most days. I understand that each pet will have their own specific way to be cared for. A pet is absolutely individualistic and there is no one way to care for everyone’s pet. Therefore, I will follow the directions as explained in order to keep the fur baby’s routine.
“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.”
“Josie wis a great communicator and a thoughtful pet sitter. She made me very comfortable leaving my baby in her care!! Josie is trustworthy & warm. On our first meet & greet my male cat IMMEDIATELY waltzed right up to her like an old friend! Josie was consistent with her care times & again: great communication. Trusted having her in my home & will rebook in the future”

About: I go beyond basic pet sitting by providing personalized care tailored to your pet’s needs. Whether it’s gentle senior pet care, raising puppies, or ensuring pets feel loved and comfortable while you’re away, I treat every animal like my own. With a deep passion for animals, I offer reliable, attentive, and loving care! Available from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm Monday thru Friday and most weekends with advance notice! I work night shift so evenings will be off limits unless you’re close enough to my job that I can drop by :) I don’t take care of pets in my home yet, however, I love keeping things clean so there will never be a mess when you come back home and I will make sure they’re fed, walked, exercised, and loved! If your pet needs medication or special treatment I will make sure to give it to them when it’s time!

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.
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Port Richey is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 6,018 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Port Richey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
