Dog Sitting in Hernando Beach

About: I accept last minute requests :)🐾 My alternate/emergency backup sitter is Kelli B. (Also a sitter on Rover) As a dedicated dog mom to a high-energy Border Collie/Labrador mix, I truly understand the level of commitment, patience, and exercise it takes to keep a pup happy and thriving. My home is a place of boundless energy and love, which has prepared me to step in as a seamless replacement parent for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Throughout my years of sitting, I’ve gained extensive experience with a diverse range of needs, from high-octane athletes to gentle senior souls. I am highly proficient in specialized care, including strict dietary management, insulin injections, oral pill administration, and the careful application of eye drops. I also have a deep heart for dogs with sensory challenges; having cared for both blind and deaf pups, I know how to use touch, vibration, and clear hand signals to ensure they feel safe and secure. My goal is always to provide the same empathetic, intuitive care you do, so your best friend feels cherished and understood every moment you’re away. Since I work remotely and have the complete flexibility to choose my own schedule, pet care isn't just a task—it’s a seamless part of my daily life. Because I am not tied to a traditional office, I have the unique ability to provide "replacement parent" care, offering your pet the consistent companionship and attention they are used to having from you. My routine is built around being present. I have the flexibility to stay in your home, ensuring your pet’s environment remains stable and stress-free while you are away. Whether it’s keeping up with a high-energy exercise routine for an active pup, managing a strict medication schedule for a senior, or simply providing a warm lap to curl up on during my work hours, I am able to prioritize your pet's needs at any time of day. You won't have to worry about long stretches of solitude; I’m there to provide the snacks, the walks, and the specialized care exactly when they need it. When I stay in your home, my priority is providing a seamless "replacement parent" experience so your pets never feel a gap in their routine. My remote work lifestyle allows me to provide true companionship, ensuring your pets aren't left alone for long stretches. Because of my professional background, I take the security of your home very seriously. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing that: Continuous Presence: I am there throughout the day, which is a natural deterrent and keeps your home looking "lived-in." Professional Responsibility: I am exceptionally detail-oriented and respectful of your space, following all house rules and security protocols to the letter. Specialized Medical Care: I am fully comfortable staying overnight with seniors or pets with chronic conditions (like diabetes or sensory impairments) who require late-night or early-morning monitoring. Home Tidiness: I maintain a clean, quiet environment and ensure mail is collected, plants are watered, and everything is exactly as you left it. I also have experience in the water mitigation field, so should any issue arise with an appliance or anything in your home, I know how to respond quickly and mitigate further issues.

“Chris was wonderful! He took care of my dog at my home for 8 days. He showed up on time or early for every visit, stayed longer than required and did everything properly. My dog really likes him! I had to go out of town on short notice, and Chris came right over to meet us, and came back both morning and night to see her routine. He took very good pictures in the Rover app that reassured me that Bella was in good hands I highly recommend him!”

About: Ever since I was little my family has always owned some type of animal. We’ve owned 4 English bulldogs, a cat, a hamster and 2 ferrets. Now, I myself own a 1 year old miniature dachshund named Franklin. I love taking care of all animals and making sure they get the proper care they need and more. I currently work about 30 hours a week. My schedule isn’t the same every week so depending on what time and days I work, I set aside time to make sure I can come and take care of any pets that need it, whether it’s on my days off, or before or after work. In my clients homes all pets will have clean fresh water and will be fed given the directions of the owner. The pets will also get plenty of exercise whether it’s playing in their backyard or going on a walk. Along with playing inside with their toys. I also make sure that pets feel comfortable in their own home and will make sure they get lots of love and attention.

About: Animals have always been a very large part of my life. Their kind souls truly make it an honor to be apart of their life. I believe that they pick you ! I would love the opportunity to care for your fur baby and promise to treat them like the family that they are! I have many years of experience in my background that I believe qualify me to be entrusted with your animal. Growing up in a small farming town, has broadened my range in this field. I currently own a seasonal summer business which opens my winter months up. I can be flexible with my schedule at this time. Please let me know what you are looking for so we can see if it is a great fit ! Currently I will not be able to board pets at this time . I am happy to come to your home and do in home care.

About: Hi, I'm Johnnie! I have a background in Human Services and Counseling, so attentiveness and genuine care come naturally to me. I've helped look after family and friends' pets and understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home. I specialize in house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I show up on time, send regular photo updates, and treat every pet like my own. Looking forward to meeting yours! 🐾 Your pet is my top priority throughout the day and even at night no matter what! If I eat your pet eats if I go out for a walk most certainly your pet will be walking with me! Your pet will always align into my schedule perfectly synced. In my home I only hope that I am provided a thorough explanation of what type of care and personality your pet has so that I may adjust myself accordingly. Having the supplies needed to care for your pet is also a huge relief and is appreciated. In your home (should you allow me to) caring for your pet in your home is right next to caring for your pet in the president's own house, I'll settle for nothing but giving my best for you and your pet.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly my passion. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes and ages—from gentle giants like Great Danes to the tiniest teacup pups—each one with their own unique needs and personalities. My experience at a busy doggy daycare gave me hands-on knowledge of countless breeds and temperaments, and I’ve also cared for dogs with special needs, including those who are blind, deaf, or living with dementia. No matter their size, age, or ability, I provide patient, loving, and attentive care so they feel safe, happy, and at home. I know how much your furry family member means to you, and I take that responsibility seriously. When you trust me with your dog, you’re getting more than just a sitter—you’re getting someone who will treat them with the same love, compassion, and dedication that I give my own pets. I currently self employed and working from home. I have a lot of time to care for any fur babies that need great care while their owners are busy. I am open to boarding a dog at my house. I have a fenced in backyard. I do prefer to go to the clients house if possible only because the dog would be most comfortable in a filmier setting.

About: I have 10+ years of experience taking care of dogs, cats and many small animals! Friends and family have relied on my to care for their pets and homes while they were away or had an emergency come up. Growing up I’ve had dogs, cats, fish, sugar gliders, bearded dragons, Guinea pigs and farm pets so I feel very comfortable around pretty much all animals! Let me keep your babies company and give you peace of mind while you are away. Look through my photos at all the cute faces I’ve had the pleasure of watching (and some of my own babies!) if you have a moment! 😊 I am available full-time on the weekends for all your pets needs! I can house sit during the week, but will need to be out of the house from 8am to 5pm for work. I am also available during the week after 5pm for any check ins or dog walking. I have a fenced in yard and two extremely friendly fluff balls, Benji and Ruby, that will keep your pets company. We also have a super friendly cat, Oliver, if your cat wants company while you’re away! Or we can offer some private space in our home to your babies, as our house has decent space to spread out.

“All was good when I got home after a week. My lovebirds and my cat didn't snub me too much so Valerie did well. Sent me pix and notified me daily if entering and exiting my home. Lily even allowed her to get close which is very unusual... I will use Valerie every time I need someone...”
