About: I was raised caring for all types of animals, but I have a particular love for dogs and cats! Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me with their pets for over 10 years of my life. My experience includes feeding, administering medications, walking, playtime, and overnight care. As an adult, I've cared for my own dogs for the past 5+ years and understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable who will love and care them as much as you do! My schedule is very flexible this summer, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I'm available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks during both weekdays and weekends. I am happy to adapt to each pet's usual routine and needs! My husband and I have a large fence yard and a home with plenty of space for pets to feel comfortable. We also have a friendly male collie/retriever mix who enjoys playing, but he can be easily separated if your dog prefers their own space. I'm comfortable using crates or separate rooms as needed, and I'm happy to arrange a meet-and-greet with my dog to help ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their normal environment and routines consistent to reduce stress. I'm respectful of your home and able to follow detailed instructions. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel connected while away. Whether in my home or yours, my goal is to provide a clean and loving environment that feels as close to home as possible for every pet in my care.

About: I have been pet sitting since middle school, studied animals in school and have owned a multitude of pets over the years. So I can say that I have a passion & experience when it comes to taking care of animals. This is more than just watching someone’s dog or cat. I have been there for people & pets during the happiest and saddest days of their lives so I take pride in watching over your pets & home. I also know that leaving town can be stressful at times for yourself and your pets…let’s be honest they know you are leaving them. Boarding can be a great answer, but I definitely feel like it is best when pets can stay in the comfort of their own home. I am able to help with that! I have 2 active dogs currently so I am pretty used to it all. Most of my time, money and energy is devoted to taking care of my dogs so I can assure I will be able to handle mostly any pet situation. I am even able to take trash out to the street, grab packages/mail etc! Let me help you out :) NOTE* - *I am temporarily not able to stay overnight for house sitting due to just having a baby of my own. I am still very flexible on visits. *If you need 3 or more drop ins, I will discount the rate, just let me know! I am a college grad & I work from home full time so my schedule is very flexible. Let me know what your pets needs are and we can work out something perfect for while you are gone! My dogs are treated like royalty so I aim to do the same for your babies. Walks can be provided for sure! I have been working for Rover since 2021 and have verified references.

About: Hi, I’m Kayla! 🐾 Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog, Brownie, when I was 6 years old, and he was truly my best friend. After caring for him from puppyhood through his senior years, I learned just how much our pets become part of our families. Although we sadly lost him a few years ago, my love for animals has only continued to grow. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, from young puppies to seniors, and I’m comfortable with pets who need a little extra care and patience. I have helped train puppies, worked with multiple litters of puppies, cared for senior dogs, and have experience with dogs with diabetes and arthritis. I have also received training through the SPCA working with both cats and dogs. Pet care has been something my family has been involved in for years. My mom and sister were pet sitters, and I spent a lot of time helping them care for their clients' pets. I also have 2+ years of experience working with horses, so I’m comfortable around animals of all sizes! 🏡 Your pets get my full attention Pet sitting is currently my primary work, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate a lot of time to the animals in my care. When I’m staying with your pets, they aren't simply being “checked on”—I want them to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away. Every pet is different, and I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pup loves: 🐾 Long walks or short strolls 🎾 Playing fetch and getting some energy out 🛋️ Curling up on the couch for a lazy afternoon 💕 Lots of cuddles and attention 🥣 Keeping a specific feeding schedule 💊 Extra care or medication 🌳 Spending time outside …I’m happy to accommodate them. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing that your pets are safe, comfortable, and receiving the same love and attention I would want someone to give my own. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions, send regular updates and photos, and make sure you come home to happy, well-loved pets. ❤️ Your pets aren't just a booking to me—they're family, and I’ll treat them that way. This is currently my only job, so I will have plenty of time to take extreme care of your best furry friend who you love so much! I will use respect when it comes to being in and around someone else’s property, I will make sure everything is locked up, and put away when I leave, I will walk the pet if need be however long or short, I can play with them, give them cuddles, and love on them!

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own—whether that means keeping up with a playful puppy’s energy or giving extra patience and comfort to a senior pet who needs a slower pace. I have experience with pets of all ages, including young animals who are still learning routines like potty training, crate training, and basic commands. I stay consistent with whatever training methods you’re using so your pet doesn’t get confused while you’re away. For senior pets, I understand the importance of gentle care, medication routines, and watching closely for any changes in behavior or comfort. I’m attentive, calm, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and stress-free in their own environment. I’m also big on communication—I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love, I’m here to provide reliable, personalized care every time. I would love to spend my free time with any and all the pets. My off days at work would be perfect for this job! Any pet brought to my home will be treated as well as they deserve to be treated, and same when and if I was to come to anyone’s home! Respect is my biggest manor!

About: I’ve had animals all my life and have been caring for dogs and horses for the past 6 years. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I’m dependable, patient, and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently working toward a career in veterinary medicine, so caring for animals isn’t just something I enjoy it’s my passion. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break from college and working a part-time job, so pet sitting is a great way for me to spend more time doing something I truly enjoy caring for animals. My work schedule is Thursday through Saturday, and I’m available after I get off work on those days. I’m also available on my days off and will do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I believe in keeping pet parents updated and making sure every pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and explore, as well as three friendly small dogs who are well-socialized and can provide companionship if your pet enjoys being around other dogs. For drop-in visits, I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust. I’ll always respect your home, carefully follow your pet’s routine, and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family and provide the attention, patience, and care they deserve.

About: I'm highly skilled at reading animal body language. I have experience with anxious, temperamental, excitable, shy, and senior pets. I've cared for cats since a young age and have more recent hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I'm comfortable supporting both energetic younger pets and older pets who require a softer approach. I am able to handle animals gently, give oral/injection medications, routine care, play, and feeding. I am currently work part-time Monday through Wednesday from 10:00am-6:00pm. On Thursdays and Fridays, I'm fully available during the day and usually make plans around 6:00pm, but I'm always happy to stop by before or after. I'm completely available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for visits, drop-ins, or extended care. I always make sure I'm aware of any pet allergies, medical needs, and medications that must be given. If a medication has to be administered at a specific time, I will adjust my schedule to ensure your pet's safety and consistency. I take care to keep toxic plants, foods, and loose wires out of reach, and I maintain clean litter boxes and bowls throughout my visits. If certain pets cannot share a space, I will follow your instructions closely to keep everyone safe and comfortable. In case of emergencies, I have a reliable vehicle that pets can safely ride in if transportation is needed.

About: As a long time pet owner, I have first hand experience with caring for different animals. From puppies to cats to dogs, I am fully equipped to not only safely supervise pets, but to also play and engage with them for a fun and loving experience. I have been the mama to the sweetest stray male tabby for the past year so I have tons of experience with cats and kittens too! As a previous owner of a disabled doggo, I have developed patience and determination when it comes to caring for pets. For example, I am unlike many other owners in that I am understanding when it comes to dogs who are in the process of being house trained. I won’t reprimand the animal in a harmful or scary way. Instead. I will guide them toward better potty training practices. I am also a very patient dog walker, some pets take longer outside or simply want to explore an area. Pets have a natural curiosity and they should be able to act on that curiosity! I care for pets as if they were all my own. It is very important for owners to trust their animal caretakers. I can assure that owners can trust that I will care for their pets with love and kindness. Thank you for choosing me to be your rover caretaker! I work remotely so I am free during the day for play time, potty breaks, and mid-day cuddles. I also have tons of cat toys and welcome dogs owners to bring interactive toys for the pups. I have a semi fenced in huge backyard and designated play areas equipped with interactive toys, treats, and more. I also have a very sweet and gentle 1 year old cat to be the perfect playmate

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and have had pets since I was a toddler. I currently have three cats of my own who definitely run the house, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and quirky behaviors. I also regularly help care for my mom’s dog, Petey, so I stay very familiar with day to day dog care like walks, feeding, attention, and reading different dog personalities. In the past, I’ve also had dogs of my own, including a beloved senior dog who lived to an old age. Caring for her taught me a lot about patience, routine, and understanding the needs of older pets. I truly enjoy caring for dogs and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have experience caring for both cats and dogs of all personalities. From friendly and playful to shy or more “spicy.” I’m calm, patient, and always take the time to let pets warm up at their own pace. I also have experience administering medications, including ear washes and oral medications, so I’m comfortable helping with basic care routines if needed. For dogs, I enjoy walks, playtime, and keeping their routine consistent. For cats, I understand the importance of trust, space, and gentle, low-stress care. My goal is always to treat every pet like my own and give you peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾❤️ As a stay at home mom of one child, I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to provide consistent and reliable pet care throughout the week, into the weekend. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily routine since I already manage a household and care for pets of my own. I’m organized, dependable, and make sure each visit is given my full attention and care. I care for every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine. In a client’s home, I respect all instructions carefully and make sure pets stay in their normal environment with as little stress as possible. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and exercise routines as requested. I take my time to be sure pets feel comfortable with me, especially shy or anxious pets, and I never rush interactions. I also keep a close eye on doors, gates, and safety concerns to ensure pets remain secure at all times. My goal is to provide reliable, calm care and give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Hernando on Rover is $27 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $32 per walk. walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Hernando after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the 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:

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers 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 walker.
