“Corey was phenomenal with our cats! Provided excellent pictures and care and even went above and beyond when we were concerned for one of our cats who tends to hide all the time. Cannot recommend him enough and now we feel comfortable being able to leave our animals knowing that he’s caring for them. We will definitely be rebooking in the future!”
“We highly recommend Samantha for any of your pet sitting needs. She recently watched our 10 year old rescue cat. She made two visits daily and not only did the necessary requirements, she spent a lot of quality time petting and bonding with him. This was the first time we have returned home from a trip not to find him the least bit skittish or anxious. We are pleased to have found his “Aunt Sam” and will continue to use her services. She does the little things to make it the perfect experience. A+++ services.”
About: I approach all walks of life with an open heart and love. Because of this I believe all critters seek out my affections and makes for fun interactions. I am currently at a cross road in life and looking for new situations that are more fulfilling. I absolutely enjoy spending my time with four legged friends. I have a mostly private fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and playing. I also can provide crates and segregated spots for our friends that need their own space or maybe a little to shy.
About: I have taken care of animals all my life. I've had dogs to horses. I love them as family just like I love my own children. I'm retired so I have plenty of time to put myself into a job in which I would love. I know I would love your animals as much I love mine. My dogs are very spoiled and very well taken care of and loved by all of my family. So I will show your pets the same love and care as I show my own
“Carol truly loves dogs and spent extra time with mine -- she's great! She even gave me/my dogs extra pee pads she had in case they needed them. She sent me photos and detailed notes during every appointment with my dogs. If she's available, I will definitely seek her out in the future for spending time with my fur babies!”
About: I have experience taking care of my own dog since I was 8. My mom got a dog when I was 14 whom I’ve also been taking care of. I specialized in puppies (+3 months old) and adult dogs. I am willing to take care of any type of dog, with any type of disability and requirement. Any added necessity for your pet will be met to the best of my ability. I am a part-time student who also has a part-time job, so my schedule is pretty flexible on my days off. I am also willing to make exceptions if needed, depending on the situation as long as I'm told days prior. Worst case scenario in which you need extra pet sitting time last minute, it can arrange. I’m currently working a part-time job and a part-time student having one morning class on Mondays (9:30-10:45am) and a morning and afternoon class on Wednesday (9:30-10:45am/5-6:45pm) but I am available for morning feeds, mid-day check-ins, and walks between hours of the day. Any extra days or weekend can be arranged after further conversation. Do tell me days beforehand. The way I take care of my pets is by cleaning their bathroom areas. Taking them outside for however long. And just making them feel seen in a way. I will definitely do anything in my power to give the best care to your fur babies. Any extra requirements or activities are completely welcome. I am here to serve your pet and fulfill their needs.

“Used Lynne while I was away. She was very responsive. She looked after my cat. Feed her her treats. She brought in my packages that where left on my front porch from Amazon. She kept me up to date on her visits. Lynne is reliable and has a very sweet personality. If I wasn't moving, I would use her again. I do recommend using Lynne for your furbabies.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 144 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Hernando. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.

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.
