“We love Melinda!! Wilson is our senior pup who takes routine medicine and has a few health issues. We were worried when our sitter canceled on us a few weeks prior to our two week overseas vacation. Then we found Melinda. Wilson was right at home, spoiled and loved. She has a fenced yard so he can relax, she delivered his meals and medicine appropriately and sent us updates and pictures along the way. When we got back I think he wanted to stay with her! Haha! We highly recommend Melinda and wouldn’t hesitate to use her in the future!”

“Shoshana is the absolute best! I have a senior dog that needs a little extra attention and she (and her great kids) has been willing to provide the amazing care for her. I can't recommend anyone higher to watch over furry companions. I will always use her as my sitter as long as my dog is still able to be left for a few days.”

“Will was great! It was my first time leaving my dog Leo with anyone and Will made it very comfortable and settling to travel knowing my dog was in great hands. He kept me updated on how he was adjusting to him and the environment. Leo loved it. He made it very comfortable for him during his stay. Thanks again! I definitely will be booking again”
“We had an excellent experience with Kelly as our dog sitter! She took care of our dog for 21 days and did an amazing job. Kelly sent us regular photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was always quick to respond and very attentive. It was clear our dog was happy and well cared for. We would absolutely book with Kelly again and highly recommend her!”
“I am blown away by the level of attentiveness, communication and professionalism Titeara has shown in caring for Ciara. We booked last minute and Titeara was very accommodating and welcoming. We received 10+ pictures every other hour and regular detailed updates of Cici’s activities, treats, stools, sleep patterns everything. Cici was smiling in every pic, I’m scared she won’t want to come home! 100/10 would recommend, and 100/10 will rebook. Thanks Titeara!”
“Tara is the best! She has watched my dog for at least fifteen times. She is very trustworthy, kind, and friendly. Along with this, she is super quick to respond which makes things easy! My dog loves going over there and playing with the other dogs. I would highly recommend Tara if you are looking for a sitter :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hernando
This was our first time ever being away from Chloe so I was extremely nervous due to her severe separation anxiety. It couldn’t have gone better for her or us. Chloe settled in not long after we left and was completely happy with Melinda. She was loving and attentive to her anxiety issues. Chloe was happy to see us and even ran back to Melinda showing me she was perfectly content to stay. I have definitely found Chloe’s home away from home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Hernando can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Hernando home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Hernando.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hernando. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Hernando sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
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 MS 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
