“Kyler & Hannah were amazing. Not only did they go out of their way to keep our dogs happy and relaxed, but they actually managed to make it as though us being gone on our trip : was not a big deal. Our dogs looked loved and happy, and my biggest dog ( who's TERRIFIED of men ) immediately latched on to Kyler. My smallest, the cuddlebug, was addicted to being held by Hannah - she looked like she never wanted to leave honestly. This was our first time leaving, but now I know that it doesn't have to be our last. We're still allowed to go out on those long work trips, knowing that we'll come back to loved and safe animals. I am BEYOND grateful for these two, and I would stake my claim that you all will be too. Just make sure you don't take all their spaces, so that I can still book them in the future haha !!”

“Mackenzie was great! She sent us daily photo updates on our boys during our trip and we knew they were in good hands. We will definitely be using her any time we go out of town!”
“Madison and Joshua house sat for my pets (2 cats and a dog) for over two weeks, and I’m so grateful for the care they gave them as well as the house. Being away is hard, and friends and family aren’t always the most dependable option to take care of the stuff you care most about while you are away. Any time I go out of town I book drop-ins or housesitting with these folks, and it gives me total peace of mind that the pets know who is coming and that they are being watched over by people who love my pets too.”

“Paige was fantastic with my dog and new pup! She took great care of them and gave them both lots of love and care! Would 10/10 recommend her to house sit anytime! She was great with the boys and made sure the new pup went out in a timely manner each time he ate! Will definitely be booing her again to dog sit!”

“Melissa was a complete blessing. She did really well with all three dogs and even stayed late when my daughter got stuck in traffic. She is kind and has a heart for animals. I would highly reccommend her to anyone long term or short term. She even remembered their names a month after we booked her and their eating routine!! Thank you Melissa you were amazing.”

About: Hi! I’m Elise. I’ve spent years working in customer-focused roles where reliability, communication, and attention to detail are essential. I love animals and understand that pets are family members, so I treat every pet with the same care and patience I’d want for my own. I grew up with dogs around and in the home my entire life, and I got my own baby doggy, Ace, in December 2021! Ace has helped me gain even more experience as he has anxiety and allergies and I have to administer medications and help manage his anxiety by being a calming/grounding presence when he needs it. I’m dependable, attentive to routines, and committed to making pets feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal schedule, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care and plenty of attention. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I work part time at the YMCA! My shifts range from 4 hours- 5 1/2 hours. So that is the longest I would be gone at one time during the day. I know how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I treat every pet like they’re my own and do my best to keep them happy, comfortable, and on their normal routine. Whether that’s walks, playtime, cuddles, meals, or just keeping them company, I make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I always follow any instructions you leave for me and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I also treat every home with respect, keeping things tidy, secure, and just the way I found them. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel comfortable and stress-free from the moment you book with me until you return home.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats and I’m comfortable with a wide range of responsibilities. With dogs, I’m experienced in walking, feeding, basic training reinforcement, and providing plenty of exercise and attention. With cats, I handle feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, playtime, and administering basic medications when needed. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I always provide patient, dependable, and loving care. I currently work a morning shift, which makes me available in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends for pet care. This allows me to provide dedicated attention for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and check-ins later in the day. I’m reliable, flexible after work hours, and committed to making sure your pets are well cared for and comfortable Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities while caring for them in your home. I respect your space and follow all care instructions exactly as given, including feeding schedules, medications, routines, and home security preferences. I make sure doors, gates, and crates are always secured, and I provide updates with photos so you can feel confident while you’re away. I aim to keep your pet’s environment calm, clean, and consistent to reduce stress and help them feel safe

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.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality! Before pursuing Occupational Therapy, I completed coursework on a pre-veterinary track, giving me additional knowledge of animal care. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, from playful puppies to senior companions. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, going for a run, or just relaxing with company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their routine. I’ll always treat your pet like family and keep you updated with photos and messages while you’re away. I recently graduated with my Master’s in Occupational Therapy and am currently studying for my board exam, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. This allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet’s individual needs, whether that’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or just keeping them company. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends and will always do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any special needs. I treat every home with respect and provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands.

About: Hi my name is Steve I'm a 58-year-old retired male who has had pets my whole life. I have been providing over-night pet/house sitting for 20 plus years with many repeat customers. I have provided stays from a "long week-end" to 7 weeks at time. I am trustworthy and dependable on each and every job.

Some of my included duties are mail collection, garbage collection, plant watering, and keeping your pets and home safe while your away. If this sounds interesting to you please contact me, references upon request. I'm retired, so I'm available for 24/7 pet care in your home, so your pets dont spend too much time alone. I will give constant attention as needed, to make sure they know they are special. I believe in keeping with your pet's routines, from waking up, playtime, feeding, and to bedtime. I also believe its easier for pet to get used to a new person instead of a new environment.

FAQs for House Sitting - Hernando
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hernando on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 451 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hernando. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Hernando walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Hernando maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hernando choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hernando. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
