“Sophia has been an excellent choice for me and Lucy. You can tell she loves dogs in how she talks to Lucy and rubs and scratches her. She comes on time and takes the full half hour and stays even longer to talk to her and me and rub her. She is very pleasant to talk to, smiles alot and basically a very caring, pleasant, soft spoken person. You can't find someone to love and walk your pet better than this. Thank you Rover for finding Sophia for Lucy and Me. Sincerely, Michael Roth”
“You can tell from the moment he walks in the home, Corey is experienced dog handler. Professional, punctual and an all around nice guy. We look forward to using him again for my moms 60 lb American Pitbull terrier.”
“Where to start... I've been contemplating a dog walker for almost the year, I finally got on some sites and started looking around. Katie came up and I immediately liked what I read. As a first timer I was a little confused on how everything worked, Katie walked me right through it, which was a blessing. She was very kind and flexible with her time, as originally I wanted more days and ended up not needing them. We had our meet and greet. My girl loved her! So we went ahead and booked the walks. I cannot even tell you how well it went, she was on top of it, sent me pictures, and told me how Sadie was just doing every step of the way. We have plans to continue using Katie weekly, if you need a little help taking care of your babies, I highly suggest using Katie!”
“Breezy came in clutch when we had to make an impromptu business trip at the last minute. They always take time to hang out with our pup and take them for a nice long walk. Our doggo loves them and we appreciate how quickly they respond to walking requests and how kind they are to our pup.”
“Jamie & Debra were amazing helping with my dog while I was away. I'll definitely be leaning on them again. Thanks again guys. Always on time and my pup just loved them.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 831 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 your Hernando. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Hernando.
Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:
- 96% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
