“Cooper really enjoyed his stay with NOLA. NOLA made us feel very comfortable by sending us pictures of Cooper every day and staying in contact with us. We will definately use NOLA again.”
“We cannot say enough good things about Linda and the care of our pups! She is the greatest! We are so so grateful! Our pups truly had a dream vacation being in her care. I know they will be eager to return! What a comfort for my husband and I to see pictures and videos of them having fun! From grateful hearts! Susan & Gary”
“Lenetta was Amazing! Major was pampered like he was on vacation and loved his stay! Lenetta treated Major like he was her own and communicated with us throughout his stay so we didn't have any anxiety and we got to see how much fun he was having! Major will definitely be back. Thank you so much!”
“I can’t thank Stephanie & Jean enough for taking such wonderful care of my two sweet fur baby boys over the Thanksgiving break. It’s always hard to leave them, but I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. They provided updates and made sure they were happy and well cared for. I came home to two relaxed and content pets, which says it all! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter. We will be calling on them again in the future for our pet sitting needs. Thank you, Michel H.”
“Chester loved his time at Katie’s house! He was happy and content when I picked him up! Photos from each day showed he was a happy camper! lol! I will bring him back to her as needed!!!”
“Elisa was wonderful! Our black lab, Jake, got to spend 5 days at her house. She is very kind and attentive. I am grateful for her services. 💙 It was a great first experience leaving our pet with someone other than family. Highly recommend!”
“Angie is fantastic and she communicates well through texting and the rover app. She kept me informed of how my dog is doing often and takes photos. He ate all of his dog food which is rare as he used to be sad at other places. Toby was happy staying with them and felt loved. Her husband is great too. We will be using them again.”
“I was hesitant due to the distance from the middle of the Villages however I liked the fact that she limited the number of pets. After meeting with her and seeing the home and yard I decided to use her for Bentley’s boarding. I am extremely happy and pleased with her care and especially for the many photos. I will definitely recommend and will book with her again.”
“This was our first time leaving him with a sitter, so we were very nervous but, I loved how she kept us informed about our pet. The daily pics and updates help us to relax. He had so much fun. He acted as if he didn’t want to come home.”
“Definitely recommend Erica's doggy boarding. Very caring and let me know morning, afternoon and evening about how my Lucy was doing. My Lucy loved it there so much that she didn't want to leave. Lol”
“I felt comfortable trusting Stephanie with my fur babies. This was their first time with strangers. However, they adjusted nicely. I will continue to use her services when I need to go out of town. Great dog care service.”
“Laura truly loves taking care of dogs. She treats them as though they are her own. She provides the attention a dog that is away from their home an family needs. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing they were happy. Thank you!”
“My dog gets extremely stressed with storms and I had left not expecting one and Pepper didn’t have anything to ease her. She kept Sam awake until 3AM. Sam took loving care of my girl. I felt so bad, but Sam said she just felt bad for Pepper and not herself. I will always have medicine available from now on. Thank you Sam.”
“Anna was great with our dog. I loved that she texted us pictures and videos multiple times a day. You can tell she loves dogs and truly cares for the dogs she takes care of. Will absolutely be using her in the future!”

“Silvia and her family did a superior job taking care of our Westie. He was outdoors, as well as indoors and interacted with her dogs and was well-cared for. It was the first time he was away from his home in 7 years.”
“Tina and Bill cared for my Little Buddy far beyond our hopes. Buddy had never stayed with anyone but his normal sitter, and when we had to make other plans, I was nervous. These wonderful people treated him just as if he were their own dog. They sent me daily pictures and I think he fell in love with Mrs Tina. I would highly recommend this fine couple if you need a sitter in the Spring Hill/ Brooksville area.....we will definitely use them again. Tina and Bill....thank you for being a part of Buddy's Florida adventure!”
“Kaelyn did an amazing job watching our German Shepherd! She gave her so much love and attention, played with her, and took her on plenty of walks. We could tell our dog had such a great time because she was so sad when she got home—we could already tell she missed Kaelyn! 🥹❤️ We felt completely comfortable leaving our fur baby with her and would absolutely recommend Kaelyn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their dog!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hernando
I had a wonderful experience with Cody as my sitter. From the start, he was responsive and reassuring. During the stay, he sent frequent updates complete with adorable photos, which made a huge difference in calming my nerves about leaving my pet behind. Everything went smoothly, and my Haitta was clearly comfortable and loved. Cody is reliable, caring, and communicative. I'll be rebooking with him for sure on my next getaway!

94% of sitters in Hernando can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hernando home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hernando.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Hernando sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in FL ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
