House Sitting in Hernando

“Jamie and her mom did a great job taking care of our Yorkie, Aria. Aria is a spoiled little princess, and they did a terrific job of communicating with us, keeping us posted while we were gone, and helping us be comfortable while we were away from our pup. Ari is virtually never alone, and certainly not for very long. Having her here was a blessing! We’ll definitely ask her to stay with Ari again!”

“She was absolutely amazing with our pups. Everytime she checked on the pups she would send a message and pictures of them. Highly recommend and will definitely be using her a lot more.”

“Ashley worked with us to make sure our time was covered. The dogs loved her!! And she sent us nightly pictures and report of the day's adventures. Would highly recommend and I am sure we will try to use her on future sittings. It was a great experience!”

About: I’ve been volunteering at animal rehab facilities since I was 10 and I’ve worked my way up to wildlife internships in the amazon rainforest just last year, so I have plenty of experience with animals from household pets to less common exotics ! Household pets I have most experience in are Cats, Dogs, Small mammals and Reptiles and I’m well educated in proper cleaning, meal preparation and grooming. I have a heart for animals and i can’t wait to meet yours! 😊🐶 I’m currently managing a temporary health setback and seem to have a lot of time on my hands! I’m available 9 am - 12a during the week and weekends is full availability to keep your pet safe and entertained. I have a fenced in yard and screened porch and I only let my cat roam leashed under close supervision so that he doesn’t get into anything and I didn’t notice. I Always ask what the owner is comfortable with whether it’s crating or going on walks around the yard prior but I also understand some pets need more attention than others and that’s okay! I never have anything toxic in reach and keep my house stocked with plenty of toys and treats to keep your pet happy and healthy.

“Rachel is absolutely amazing! She communicates well and sends pictures throughout the day. She makes sure everything is well taken care of and our sweet girl is given so much love! She is the best and I love using her”

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.

“Couldn’t be happier , very accommodating and willing to work with you ! She took wonderful care of Sam We really appreciated the regular updates and photos,it gave us peace of mind while we were away. Our pet was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned.”

Lorena N.

“Katie was absolutely amazing! I would highly recommend her to anyone nervous about leaving their pets. She eased our minds with several pictures throughout the day. All of my animals looked happy and relaxed. Her communication throughout her stay with our animals was fast and frequent. We came home to happy animals and a spotless house. Thank you so much!!”

About: I’ve had and cared for all species of animals my whole life. From lizards, to chickens, to even water buffalo. I cannot imagine my life without animals I work from home so I can make my own schedule. I have my own critters to take care of so I’m always out and about At home I take care of my critters 2x a day. My horses I only have to feed once a day but I still drive by to get my eyes on them. I like to see my animals and make sure everyone is ok at least 2x a day

“Wonderful!! Can't say enough good stuff about Tina. She's a sweetheart and loved my Bernie and she loved Tina. They had a good day with no issues so I was able to travel to Jacksonville for Dr appointments. Tina arrived bright and early ask planned and was very patient about our long day away. Bernie, Mom & Dad love Tina E!”

Details I have my husband Chris on my account because awhile back we used to be able to take pets in our home. We have recently moved to Inverness and no longer have a fenced yard so we have discontinued that service for now. He does not accompany me for housesitting but he may stop by to bring me dinner once in awhile. Rest assured he has also been fully screened through Rover. We still have a demanding Lucky (our cat) at home that needs him. I know life can be unpredictable, which is why I am available 24/7 to care for your pets whenever you need me. Whether it’s an last minute trip, planned vaction, just an overnight stay, or an extended trip, I am here to provide flexible and reliable care tailored to your schedule.

I take trust seriously, providing regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you’ll always know your furry family member is well cared for. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, or sticking to special instructions, I am here to give you peace of mind and your pet the love and care they deserve.

“Taylor was fantastic with the girls. They were walked daily and I found out our smallest even gets along with cats. Nice to know. We will definitely use her again when the need arises.”

“We used Mildred to watch our sweet Maultese dog and she is so attentive to Mandy (or dog)I gave her directions on her care while we are on a long Vacation to California and she followed it to a T. Mildred notified us on any need of our pup. Mildred sent cute pictures also. Our little dog don’t like storms and Mildred stayed with her so not alone and scared. You will never get a better doggie sitter than her. Or any animal .We will use her again,again,and again.”

About: Additional fee of $1.5 Per mile if you’re more than 10 miles away from me I have to take Lyft to get to you. No pick up and drop off fee will be applied if you’re in walking distance. Hey there! I’m Yaritza if that’s to hard for you to pronounce you can just call me Rover, your friendly neighborhood pet sitter. I’ve been a dog enthusiast since I was 10 years old—basically a lifetime of wagging tails and slobbery kisses! I have a guide dog who thinks she’s the real boss around here, and she’s always ready to make new friends (just as long as they don’t steal her treats). With 14 years of experience wrangling cats and 12 years of dog adventures under my belt, I’m well-versed in the art of pet pampering. I love walking and playing with dogs, whether they’re zooming around like puppies or taking it easy like wise old sages. I’ve even house-sat for senior dogs, and let me tell you, they know how to live the good life! While I don’t drive, I’ve mastered the fine art of navigating with my guide dog and making sure every pet feels loved and cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry companions I currently have a flexible schedule since I’m not working, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets and give them all the love they need. I'm happy to help out on holidays or weekends, too! I believe that good communication with pet owners is key, so I’m always here to chat and make sure we’re on the same page. I will wake up anywhere from 7 to 9 am and give everyone breakfast and medications if needed. Can get up earlier if your pet requires me too for their daily routine. If a walk is In their schedule, I will do that first before breakfast then depending on how tired they are they will wait for half an hour to an hour before having their breakfast. This is due to the heat so they’re walking as early as possible. If your pet is on a different schedule, of course I will follow that so please make sure you provide your pets schedule and medications otherwise they will use the schedule I have below *Water is provided throughout the day unless resting after walks. *The rest of the times that are not outlining the schedule or spent either playing your pet or cuddling with them whichever they prefer *7-8 am Early walk to avoid the heat *7-8 breakfast and bathroom break meds if need if they didn’t need a walk if they went on a walk depending on how tired they are I will have them wait for half an hour to an hour before breakfast *10am-12pm bathroom break *2-4pm bathroom break *5-6pm dinner meds if need *7-8pm short walk if not dark outside. *10pm bedtime Pet safety is my top priority, and I want you to feel completely at ease knowing your furry friends are in good hands. When dogs are in my care, they will always be leashed to ensure their safety and to help prevent any unexpected adventures! As someone with a disability, I take extra care in handling your pets, especially when it comes to taking them for walks. I believe that a smooth and safe experience for both the pet and the caregiver is essential. To further enhance their safety and identification, I will change their collars to Martindale collars with bells. These collars not only look great but also help keep track of your pets, especially if they decide to explore a bit too much! When your pets are in their own home, the only change will be the collars, so they can feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I understand how important it is to keep to their routines, so I will be diligent about following their schedules and any specific needs you may have. Communication is key, so I’m always open to discussing any additional preferences you have to ensure your pets feel happy and safe while I care for them.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, I love them all. I’ve helped friends and family with their fur babies on several occasions; cats and dogs of different sizes. Walking, cleaning up after, feeding, playing with and all kinds of cuddles. I am currently available most always to care for your pets. I’d like a days notice for most scheduling but you can contact me anytime and most likely will be available on short notice I do have doggie doors and a privacy fence but my fur baby is 11 and likes her alone time so I’d prefer to care for yours at your home and follow any instructions you have and i would always walk them on a leash outside of the property.

“Mikaela was great with Athena and Little Bit! This is the first time a new person has interacted with our girls since we have had them. She made friends with them and judging from their reaction when I came home they looked forward to her daily visits.”
