“Katie is amazing!! She's clearly knows what she's doing and cares a lot about every dog that comes through her front door. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. My pet comes home happy and well cared for. I’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

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!

About: Hello, call me Neli! I have had my small Shih Tzu, Ellie, for about 9 years now and I have had a previous beagle and basset hound.

About: I’ve taken care of animals for as long as I can remember. When I was a little girl I would always help take care of my animals with my mother. I used to live on a farm and I have had experience with many different pets/animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, farm animals and small animals. I also have experience with bathing, trimming nails, cleaning ears, and expressing anal glands. I can also administer medications. This is my full time job so I can do my very best to accommodate anyone who needs a pet sitter who truly cares about their pets. My wife and daughters help me sometimes as well. Our daughters are also knowledgeable in pet care from getting hands on experience through me. My wife just come with me every where I stay for Moral support. 💕 I have a fully privacy fenced in yard. If the pet is in a home without fence I will be sure to leash walk your pet for safety reasons. If your pet feels comfortable in a crate feel free to bring it. Also if there is a special toy, bed or something they enjoy or prefer they can bring it along for their stay.
About: I fully work from home so I am ready to give your fur babies all of the love and play time they deserve! My husband and I live on 2.2 acres that are fully fenced and our fur baby Luna is ready to share her acres with your pup(s)! We both have experience with puppies, senior dogs, medical needs and multiple dogs at once. Our fur baby Luna is the friendliest dog out there. She has yet to meet an animal that she is not ready to become BFF’s with. She is always excited, gentle, and sweet to be around and loves to play. I work from home full time so I am home 24/7. Your pet will get my undivided attention and love, just like Luna does. Your pet will get consistent potty breaks, around every two hours. If they need more, I can absolutely do that as well. My husband and I prefer to be at home so we do not go out much outside of work unless it is groceries, appointments, necessities, etc. We have the safety of our fully fenced 2 acres. We do go outside every time with the dogs when they go to potty or play. They will never be outside alone. We always want to ensure that all animals take their potty breaks as needed. They will always have water and treats readily available. We also consistently work on recalling with our dog to make sure she doesn’t stray too far off on the acres. We can also do this with your pets as well.
“First time in 4 years needing a daycare for our pup. At Meet & Greet Laurie made us quite comfortable as Gus investigated her home. Laurie accommodated our early drop-off, when I turned for a last look, Gus was playing between her feet! Laurie sent updates on walks, meals, & picture too. Gus slept all the way home and then some. Thank you Laurie for making it easier to relax this day.”
“Janelly was great! We were somewhat nervous as Chase is new to us as well, but she set our minds at ease. Her family is lovely and she provided a video of Chaserino playing with her boys, happy pup!! We will absolutely work with her again! Thank you so much!”
“Kobe loved daycare at Lorraine’s house! She also sent several pictures and videos throughout the day which was super awesome. I would only be in Ocala every once in a while for work but I definitely know where Kobe will go next time I’m here. Thanks so much Lorraine!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 393 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Hernando. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Hernando commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of November 2026, there are 393 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of FL. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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.

sitters 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 sitter.
