Doggy Day Care in Hernando

“Many pet daycare facilities close between 6:00 pm and 7:30 pm, so I looked on Rover.com to find a pet sitter who coud watch my dog later than that while I went out to dinner. I was glad to find Sarah. Sarah was very friendly and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her. Her home looked like a very nice environment in which pets could happily play and rest. I would leave my dog with Sarah again.”

“Katie (and her family!) are the BESTESSESSESS!! This was the first time we left our puppy with a stranger or ever used Rover so I was a bit anxious. She did a meet n greet with us to relieve some nerves. She sent pictures every day. Each day Riley went she was pulling me out of the car tail wagging running to the front door. I'm so grateful for Katie, we were able to enjoy our vacation and know our puppy was safe and being loved on!!!!”

“Bama had a playmate during her daycare stay. She is super social and did well with another buddy to play with. We are very satisfied with the care and attention Bama received while staying with Kay. We will definitely use her services again should we need a sitter for Bama.”

About: Hi, I’m Taylor, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and needs! I offer boarding, walking, and house-sitting, and specialize in everything from puppy energy to senior snuggles. I’ve worked with repeat clients over the years and am comfortable handling structured routines, medication schedules, and special dietary needs. My late senior dog Jake, who passed in July 2021, taught me just how rewarding it is to give older pets the comfort and compassion they deserve. On the flip side, I’ve also fostered plenty of puppies, and currently have a 5 month old pup of my own named Spur! I know how important it is to keep them active, consistent, and safe as they grow. Cats are a big part of my care experience too – I’ve bottle-fed kittens and cared for elderly cats needing daily medications, ear drops, special foods, and that gentle, patient touch only a true cat person can give. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a long walk, a quiet cuddle session, or just keeping things calm and consistent while you’re away, I’m here to help. I treat every pet like my own, with love, attention, and respect for their unique personality and needs. I'm working from home with pet-sitting, photography, and marketing jobs! I am very flexible in terms of travel and overall availability. Early mornings, afternoons, nights - I'm your gal! I have a big yard with many in-ground leads for the dogs to play safely without escape! My other two (very kind) fur babies will keep them company while they're away from home. While we do have cats, they are very independent creatures and usually reside in one room of our home. Easy to shut off for those who don't love felines!

“We had Veronica watch are puppy Bo and she did an amazing job! We absolutely loved her and he had so much fun. She sent tons of photos and videos throughout his stays and it was clear that he was having a great time. We would highly recommend her and will be using her much more in the future!”

“I almost hate to review this true gem! Linda will puppy sit one dog at a time which is great for my people-friendly, dog-hesitant fur baby. Her love of pets is so very apparent the moment you meet her. What a truly great find.”

“Honestly the best dog sitter I have ever met. My kids now have their official sitter every time I leave the city. Mary is considerate and leaves pictures every day. She is really sweet. Her house is clean as a mirror and she keeps the pet visitors the same way. I can just highly recommend her. I won’t look anymore…. Gentlest pet sitter. Thank you Mary”

“If I could give a 10 Star Review to Brenna I would! I was traveling and unexpectedly had to find a sitter for my dog Ralphie. Brenna had great Reviews, a home and fenced yard, and reasonable rates. I was thrilled with the entire experience...her beautiful, clean, welcoming home, her calm sweet demeanor, her flexibility and her excellent care of Ralphie. Even allowing him to sleep on the bed at night. Brenna is a Gem! I will plan my next trip to Inverness and bring both my dogs to Brenna. Thank you for such a positive and wonderful ( unplanned) experience Brenna!”

“I am a fellow Rover sitter and needed someone to watch our young dog for a few hours while we visited family in the area. Christini was able to take out dog in with short notce. She was flexible with our times and provided the care we needed. First time leaving our dog with someone, so knew she would be a little nervous. Thank you.”

“Love leaving Moops with Laura. It is a little dog paradise. She may be more happy there than with me :) . And Laura makes it very easy with my last minute drop off or pick up. Best foster mum she ever had.”

Isabel D.

“What a wonderful first Rover experience! We needed a last minute sitter (and I have honestly never used a sitter for a dog before, but our sweet boy’s anxiety has become problematic for leaving him home alone for any length of time). I reached out to Candace, and she responded immediately. She and her husband were so kind and welcoming, and put me and Reggie at ease. On pickup, Candace provided a very thorough description of Reg’s visit at her home, so I am confident that he had a great day. It was great to be able to relax and know that my buddy was in good hands!”

About: I’ve been a lifelong dog lover who grew up in a home where pups were part of the family, and that same energy carries into how I care for every dog I meet. I’ve raised and trained my own dog, Wiley, and have years of experience boarding and pet sitting for friends and family. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, snuggles, and potty breaks throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to create a calm, happy environment where pets feel safe and loved. What sets me apart is the care and consistency I provide—whether it’s sticking to your pet’s routine or taking the time to connect with their unique personality. Since I work from home full-time, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Throughout the day, I take regular breaks for playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Having a flexible schedule means your dog will never be left alone for long, and I’m able to stick closely to their routine. Evenings usually include another walk and wind-down time, so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and loved all day. Creating a safe, calm, and loving environment is my top priority. I only take in friendly, well-socialized dogs to ensure a positive experience for everyone. My home has a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and supervised potty breaks. Inside, pets have plenty of space to relax, and I keep an eye on them throughout the day since I work from home. I follow each dog’s specific routine so they feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would at home.

About: I've rescued and cared for six dogs, three became mine. And I' ve dog-sat for friends & family for decades. Dogs love my fenced yard and the looong walks we take in the acres of trails and woods around my house! I'm formally educated and exprienced in animal behavior and comparative psychology. And as a professional conservation biologist, I've spent my career working to protect all animals and their habitats. Caring for critters is my heart & soul. I work from home (complete with a fenced yard) surrounded by many wooded acres for long walks. Dogs welcome day or night, long- or short-term. I'm always here with them. And your dog(s) can either enjoy the company of my two pups, or they can have me, the house, and the yard all to themselves (as my pups love to go stay with their grand-dad down the hill). Boarding dogs can either meet and play with my two pups or they can have me, the house, and the fenced yard to themselves, which ever you/they prefer. The same applies to day-care for dogs.

About: I have taken care of my parents pets whenever they go out of town. I feed them their food and make sure they go out to bathroom; I love to be around pets. I get along with them well.

Im available Monday thur Friday to watch your animal. If you need someone for the weekend im available also. I can give all the love to the animals. I love showing the love and making them feel safe and let (she or he) enjoy the environment and playing time outside

About: I’ve worked as a veterinary technician for almost 10 years, I’m currently taking some time away from work to be home with my son full time and I’m so excited at the opportunity to spoil some people’s pets! Our pets are like family and being away from them can be so hard. I know first hand how difficult it is to find someone you trust, and I’d love to be that person for you! I’m currently home full time and can be very flexible and available for whatever your schedule looks like or may require. This can include weekends! I have a fully fenced yard and I don’t currently have any other pets in the home. I can offer private services if you’d like your pet to be the only one! I can replicate your pets’ routine as best as possible!

About: I'm a US Marine Vet that has always loved dog and all animals since I was a kid, dogs and snakes were always my true loves but now it's just dogs for me. I have a soft spot for pit bulls just so long they aren't mean and get along with small dogs. I believe dogs are one of God's greatest gifts and I sometimes believe humans do not deserve dogs because of how pure hearted and loyal they are to us. I have been taking care of dogs my whole life and I'm 49 now. Dogs need love and someone to play with and other dogs to play with, that's why I have 6. I have worked with a few rescues in the past mainly sharing dogs for rescue, fostering and a few worked with me when my father died to rehome all my dads dogs. I'm looking for people that have dogs that want to be outside and play for doggy day care. My services at the moment are for doggy daycare for outside dogs in a big fenced in yard with other dogs until I can get my kennels and building set up. We have 10 acres with about 3/4 acre that is fenced in that 3 of my dogs stay, the other 3 live inside. I work from home and I'm a homebody and don't really leave the house unless I absolutely have to. I do have to go to the VA or other appointments occasionally or to do some shopping but i'm here prob 95% of the time. I keep my pets watered and fed, walked as needed. I play with them and we entertain each other. If any storms come up I move the outdoor dogs into the garage in kennels where it's safe.
