About: I have been a dog owner all of my life, I have sincere passion for all animals and love to take care of them. I stay at home and can give your dog lots of love, care, and attention. I take them on dog walks and will definitely pamper them as much as you would. I would like to set up a meet and greet before the stay, this is to ensure safety for your pet as well as for my family. I’m currently not working and I am at home all the time except for small errands I sometimes run a couple of times during the week. I have been a stay at home mom for over 20 years, and now that my kids are grown, Its time to watch over other peoples pets. I usually only keep 3-4 dogs at a time, so they get the full attention they need! I have a large fenced yard for them to stretch there legs and run. Or, if they want to take a nap, dogs are perfectly fine on my couch at any time. I can keep them in kennels at night, or they are welcome to sleep under my bed. I can also separate dogs too, if needed.
“Hannah was great in taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She made everything simple and eased any worries we had about leaving our cats for two weeks. She's awesome and so sweet!”
About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. I have been watching and walking dogs for the past 6 years. I am currently at stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to play and care for your dogs. I am available to board at anytime. I have a dog park near me that is fenced in. I have 2 friendly dogs that are able to keep your fur baby company
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
“We have use Mikayla multiple times. She is very trustworthy and reliable. She always go above and beyond. She will take great care of your fur baby. She follows directions well and is very patience and attentive to my baby Rosie. I would recommend her to anyone. 10 of 10 service.”
“I’m beyond impressed with Vivian! Ten stars for communication — she always responded promptly and thoughtfully to my questions, and sent very helpful report backs with photos of my cat. All my nervousness around leaving my cat behind while out of town dissipated knowing she was in trusted hands. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve always had animals in the house growing up, I currently have a senior German shepherd, and a 2 month old orange kitten. I understand all animals are different and have their own quirks. I’m no stranger to cleaning up messes and unique feeding habits My schedule is quite flexible as I am a college student doing night classes, so I am free during the day at most hours. I’d be able to board animals, do drop ins, as well as house sit. I have a fenced in back yard, and a separate room your baby will be able to safely sleep in. I have one gentle 6 year old dog and one kitten. They are both well behaved and very friendly. They are able to be separated if needed.
About: I'm a country girl. I love all animals. I was raised on a farm. Animal caretaking is my specialty. I also attended school for assistant laboratory animal technology I'm currently working from home. I spend my time caring for my own pets. I also pet sit for friends and family members when they are out of town. I have a fenced backyard. I also have a fence inside of that fence. Which will separate bigger dogs from the smaller ones. I have a closed in patio for puppies or pets that just want to be left alone.
About: I've had pets all of my life. I love all animals especially dogs. I currently have a toy poodle named jewels . Jewels is actually my sister's dog but she was born on my birthday and we've been inseparable since the first day I laid eyes on her. The love of a pet is unconditional and that's one of the characteristics i love most about dogs. They can sense danger and they can also sense when they are in good hands. Im a 35 year old stay at home mom (to a 2 year old daughter) that loves animals and wants your fur baby to be shown as much love as I would show my own. Hopefully I can help someone whose feeling the guilt of working long hours and not being able to walk or spend as much time as they would like with their pet. Ive been there before so I can definently relate. Sometimes things come up and it has happened to all of us. Hopefully I can help by being that piece of mind for you to know that your pet is not lonely and is in excellent care. My daughter goes to daycare during the week so im pretty flexible 7 days a week. Im ok with schedules but I also understand that things happen. Some situations are unplanned and last minute and that's ok with me as well. Communication is everything. I live in a community that loves dogs and im sure your fur baby will love visiting here. I am a homeowner and I have a big gated backyard as well as a park with a walking trail that I visit frequently on a weekly basis.
“Samantha is amazing as always, our cat Chimney loves her so much that he greets her at the door. Will always be using her since our furbabies have gotten used to her and she loves them as much as my partner and I.”
About: Back in 2014, I attended Tennessee College of Applied Technology, graduated early with my diploma in Assistance Animal Laboratory Technicians, also with a certification in Purina Mills Animal Care Course. I have done an internship with North Shelby Animal Shelter as well as Bartlett Animal Shelte, where I took stray dogs/ abandoned out for walks and to play. Most of the dogs I encountered with at the shelter were sweet and loving dogs that just need a friend and time to spend with a person. I treated those dogs as my own. I have also intern at University of Tennessee Health and Science Center taking care of rodents, pigs, and other animals. I am someone who is mature, candid and who has integrity. Everyday I work to improve myself and my skills which is part of maturing and becoming better at what I do, this is why I want clients to choose me. I will treat your pets as my own pets. I will love and care for them, as if they where my own.
About: I have been pet/house sitting for family and friends for 5 years now. I have worked in childcare(babysitting nannying, etc) for even longer so I consider the transition to be beneficial and seamless. I am a full time student and have a part time afternoon job. This gives me a lot of flexibility to take care of your pets needs throughout the day! I am dependable and will take care of the needs of your pet no matter how specific. I care about making your pet feel as in their normal routine as possible.
About: I have had pets since I was a child . From fish, turtles, dogs , cats and a guinea pig . I love animals so much. I am currently working part time and I’m usually gone 4-5 hours a day . Other than that I am home pretty much all day. I have a small fenced in yard that would be great for your pet to get a breath of fresh air . And enjoy some play time
About: I'm an early bird so morning walks are always in; Sir Connor (Rest In Dog Paradise ) he was a shih tzu mixed. He was not neutered, because I wanted grand fur babies at the time. I have fostered over a dozen dogs and a handful of cats. Daisy May was an extra addition to the family while I was fostering a puppy I called Maxwell; Maxwell has been adopted by a caring couple! Daisy May is currently the only dog I have so far. Sitting Schedule: Breakfast is at 10:30. I'm reading on how to train dogs and so treats would be ideal for play time! Dinner is severed at 7:30 I feed twice a day. If I have your dog on the weekend, they get to go on a field trip to Overton Park or Mud Island Dog Park. They also get enrichment time with pet toys and snacks! I also groom on the weekend. I mostly had dogs as pets; I rescued a cat and named him Jeffery and he was adopted by a loving family. If you have more questions feel free to ask me! Thank You! I’m currently working part-time as a caregiver; I’m available after 12:00pm during the week; My weekends are flexible. I’ll be working full time once the school year starts! Daisy May is crate trained; I also have a foster puppy who has his own crate too. I have a doggie gate if separation is needed. My yards are not fenced; I stay on a slow traffic street.
“Titeara was AMAZING. She was like family to my babies. They were so comfortable with her, especially my shy one. She sent many updates and photos and even cleaned up behind them, without asking. She was great and made me being away care free. She was very respectful and treated my house as her own and my babies as her own as well. She is a blessing for sure.”
About: I have dog sat for many family friends before, including big and small dogs, cats, and even a few birds and guinea pigs! I have walked, fed, brushed, bathed, played with, and even house sat with many different dogs. Currently I work Monday-Wednesday, from 8-5, but that is not set in stone. On days other than those previously listed, I can make anytime of day work. My home is not available to dog sit your pet. I have a not-so-friendly terrier that does not get along well with other dogs. I have dog/house sat in many homes before, so I am perfectly capable of keeping one’s home a tight ship, including cleaning, collecting mail, watering plants, etc.!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hernando is $16 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 665 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hernando. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hernando. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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.
