About: I’ve taken care of pets since the age of 3, growing up as a dog owner with a couple cats at a time, as well. I love written instructions and schedules to follow for feeding and potty time and am attentive to detail. I can send photo and video updates as often as requested. I’m currently working part time with some flexibility built in to help fur baby parents with pet care. Let’s come up with a schedule that meets your needs! I can offer overnight stays if needed and extra time spent with pets on top of feedings, walks, treats, and toilet times. The more details you provide about what you need, the better. I’ll keep things tidy for your return, too.

“They were incredibly kind and wonderful with our Golden Retriever! They always make sure he gets plenty of exercise with walks that leave him happily tired, and he absolutely adores spending time with them. We’ve booked with them multiple times and always feel confident knowing our pup is in such great hands.”

About: Animal care for years!! Working at an animal shelter, as an animal control officer and as a vet assistant. Super passionate and comfortable working with and caring for all kinds of domestic pets. My schedule is a bit flexible. Especially on weekends so I am able to walk, hang out and play with furry friends! Can stop in a couple of times a day during the week. I can either walk the dogs or let them play in the yard, whichever you prefer. Hang out with and spend time with them indoors or out.

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.

About: I am a former dog owner and lover who sadly lost her fur baby Dexter to an illness. I love and value animal life and care. Pets deserve love and attention and someone with the energy to give it to them when mommy and daddy are busy doing life or just tired from a long day of work! I have 4+ years experience caring for dogs including a dog with moderate to severe seizures. I have experience administering medication and calming nervous dogs. What sets me a part is that I am a stay at home mom which means your pet is not competing with any other work stresses and will get the love, care, and attention needed! I know how it is to have the fear of leaving your pet in the care of someone else. Will they ignore him? Feed him? Play with him? Take him out to use the restroom? Snuggle him? Lose their patience with him? I know the feeling! Your baby will be my baby while under my care. Go to work or get away with peace of mind knowing your pet is safe!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since the day I was born. I’ve grown up around hunting dogs and cared for a dog with severe health issues including epilepsy. I’ve never met a dog that doesn’t like me. I’m home full time, able to provide pet care whenever. I’m currently searching for a job so this may change in the future, but for now I am an open book. My dogs ran our household, one of my dogs was missing a leg and still needed to play frisbee and run every day. I like to stay active with my dogs and my clients’ as well!

About: I've loved and taken care of all different kinds of animals my whole life! I started at 14 taking care of horses in my 4-H club. I've grown up living with dogs, cats and even a bird or two. After I turned 20, I finally got my very first personal dog. I love her more than life itself! I am currently part time employed and job hunting! I am taking this time to grow as a person and possibly start my own business. I am in college part time for business, but I always make time for the important things in life (loving on my pup) I know what it’s like to need to be away from your baby. I have a large fenced yard for your pup to run and/or a large, cozy bed for them to snooze. Whatever fits your pup best!

About: I offer loving, reliable pet care in a calm and relaxed environment. I specialize in well-behaved pets and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable and at home. I’ve cared for both cats and dogs over the years and truly treat them as part of the family. We had beloved dogs growing up, and I’ve also had cats—including a rescue cat which we loved very much. I'm naturally attentive to each pet's behavior, routine, and comfort. I take the time to understand their personality, so they feel calm and secure while you're away. I'm also friendly, respectful, clean and easy to communicate with. I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in caring and responsible hands. I work from home, so I’m available throughout the day to give your pet plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I have a flexible schedule and can adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. I provide a calm, safe, and attentive environment for pets in my care. Since I work from home, pets are rarely left alone and receive consistent supervision throughout the day. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take pets out on leashed walks and supervised potty breaks to ensure their safety at all times. I also have a spacious outdoor patio area for fresh air and short breaks. Inside, I maintain a clean, comfortable space where pets can relax and feel at ease. I follow each pet’s routine closely and make sure they receive the attention, care, and affection they’re used to. In a client’s home, I respect their space and instructions, keeping their pet’s routine consistent and stress-free.

About: *I have been taking care of pets not only on a personal level for over 20 years but on a professional level as well for 10 years. I have prior experience as a veterinary technician assistant and can handle pets no matter what the situation may be. I have prior experience with senior pets or even pets with special needs. I of course have experience with pets that are full of energy and love to play. And we can't forget about the puppies who need help with socializing and potty training. I can also give baths, ear cleaning and nail trims as well just let me know. *All animals are unique in their own special way, they have things they like and things they do not like, while in my care I can promise that their care will be fitted to your fur babies needs while you are away. *I am always available to give your fur baby all the love and attention they need while you are away. I am available for drop ins, daycare, boarding just let me know the dates and times that you are needing and we can get it arranged. *I live in a house on a secluded 1.32 acres of land along with a large fenced yard. I have 2 small children as well but trust me I have experience with spicy animals as well as making sure safety is a priority. I have 5 friendly dogs that would love to have play dates or I can easily crate or separate my own personal pets or your pets (with your permission) if needed. If crating is not an option my house is set up to where I can keep my personal pets and your pets separated from each other without the need of crates. I also have plenty of toys and even a doggy pool to help keep your fur babies happy while you are away. I offer the option of pickup/drop offs being done but only by meeting outside, I do not want the fur babies to feel like I am taking them away from their owner. Thank you for your understanding and support in this matter! I am currently a stay at home mom. I have two beautiful children along with 5 very spoiled dogs that I consider my own children as well. I have a fenced yard and crates if you are okay with crating. I also have baby gates as well. If dogs need to have separation time that is understandable or if they need to be separated 100% of the time I can have that set up with no issues. Everyone's safety is 100% important no matter what.

About: I grew up helping my grandparents take care of their rescues. Feeding, bathing, and walking them as well as vet trips. Because of growing up around animals I now have two dogs and three cats. I currently work 40 hours a week, however because my schedule has me working nights, and it’s a set schedule, it’s easy to help someone care for their pets. Growing up around dogs and dog sitting for a friend, I know how to treat dogs and know that all dogs are different. I’m willing to stick to a schedule if need be.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Hernando

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 802 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Hernando. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Hernando. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Hernando after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hernando. On Rover:

  • 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 walker.
