“Alyssa did an absolutely incredible job watching our home, our Standard Poodle, and our Chihuahua! Taking care of two dogs with very different sizes and needs can be a lot to handle, but she balanced it perfectly. Our home was neat and tidy when we returned, and both pups were calm, happy, and clearly well-loved while we were away. We received regular updates and felt completely at ease. We cannot recommend Alyssa highly enough and will definitely be booking her again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses and am comfortable with feeding schedules, fresh water, playtime/exercise, cleaning up after pets, and keeping routines consistent while owners are away. What sets me apart is that I’m very attentive, patient, and detail-oriented with care. I understand that every pet has different personalities and needs, so I take time to follow routines closely and make sure they feel comfortable and safe in their own environment. I’m happy to provide overnight companionship, lots of attention, and help keep the home cared for during stays. I have a flexible schedule and especially enjoy overnight and multi-day pet care. I prefer planned bookings so I can make sure I’m fully available to give pets consistent care, attention, and keep them on their normal routine. I prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets and someone’s home. I follow all instructions carefully and make sure I understand each pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any special needs before the stay. I keep pets supervised, make sure doors and gates are secure, and maintain a calm and consistent environment so they feel safe and comfortable. I also respect the home I am staying in by keeping it clean, organized, and treated with care, as if it were my own. Communication is important to me, so I am happy to provide updates so owners feel at ease while they are away.
About: I’ve been caring for animals of all types since I was 8 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, etc. the list goes on! I love all animals and strive to give them the best experience when in my care. Thankfully, I have a knack for gaining even the most stubborn animals’ trust, and have never met a pet I couldn’t befriend. I look forward to working with your fur buddies and hanging out with some new “Pawsome Pals”! I have a very open schedule and can add caring for your pet to nearly any day of my week! I look forward to booking you in and making more fur friends. I take my clients safety and security very seriously. For example, when in others homes I endeavor to respect their space and belongings by only accessing common areas and rooms I am explicitly given permission to enter, avoiding possibly dangerous situations with their pets (i.e always having a dog secured on a leash when walking outside of a fenced in yard), etc. I follow all house rules and offer full communication throughout the job (I.e text updates throughout, pictures, etc.).

About: I have over seven years experience working with an animal shelter doing vet assisting, rescues, walking, and caring for dogs and cats. I am located in New Port Richey, Florida, and can travel within 20 miles for dog walking, dog/cat check-ins, or house sitting. I have had foster dogs in the past. I have experience working with different sizes and breeds of dogs. I also have worked at a doggie day care. I have one cat, but have had all kinds of animals my whole life. I lead an active lifestyle and like to be outside- I have flexible hours and availability for dog sitting and dog walking, including holidays and on the weekends. Please also include anything you think I need to know in order to give your fur baby the best possible love and care.
“Kristie is the BEST! She watched our pup Lolo for us for our whole wedding day and we didn’t have to worry about him at all, just enjoyed our day to the max. Cannot say enough how Kristie went the extra mile for us and made our day so much more amazing for being so kind, accommodating and lovely. Thanks so much Kristie!!”
About: I had all types of animals since i was a child in Brazil. Cats, birds, rabbit and my precious dogs. First of all i give them lots of LOVE, LOVE and LOVE. I train, shower, cut nails, brush teeth, go for walks and sleep together I am home all the time. I do some office work from home, usually sitting in the sofa, with my puppies around me. They give me comfort as i give them. I have a fence to outside, still don’t have a fence in backyard. But i am planning to install one. I do walk with a leash so i can get comfortable that they will not run away.
“Sharibel was awesome with Maggie! She treated her like was her own dog. I felt so relieved leaving my dog with her. I will definitely have her back to watch Maggie. I highly recommend her! You won’t be disappointed.”

About: I’ve had a variety of dog care and sit experience throughout the years. I’ve taken care of puppies, and I have taken care of older dogs that require medication and extra attention. I currently work remotely, so I am flexible with pet care needs. There will be situations where I need to run errands or take care of things outside of the home but as of right now I am flexible and able to meet the pet and parents needs. I will be providing care in the clients home. I only offer home sits at this time. I am happy to meet with the pet parent prior to the sit, pending availability in person versus FaceTime, to go over needs specifications of routine and review care needs prior to the sit.
About: I have taken care of all kinds of animals so friends and family have relied on me over the years. Also, I have raised four children and many pets. I create my own schedule so reach out and we can make a time that works for you. I’m flexible. Holidays included as well as Christmas Native to the area. I have experience with many different types of animals over the years and I have four grown children and a grandchild so I have seen a lot. I’m happy to help so reach out.
About: Hello! I am a dog mom of 2 ( pitty and mixed hound). Over the years I have personally cared for turtles, birds, dogs and geckos. I truly believe pets are our best friend and apart of the family and for over 15 years i have dedicated myself to ensuring they get the love they give to us. From dogs and felines to amphibians and our friends that fly, I have had the privilege of being entrusted with their care. Whether big or small I'm here for it all. I am currently working full time however I do work from home and can work from anywhere making my hours very flexible. I am also available during the weekends. I will have direct supervision of your pets at all times especially during walks and let outs. My goal is make sure our friends are as comfortable as they can be while you are away. So leave their favorite toys and treats and I'll bring the snuggles!
About: Hello, we are a pet care team with 10+ years combined experience, including extended Trusted Housesitters stays. We can arrange to come individually or as dual sitter to ensure we're attentive and flexible. We send daily photo updates upon request to know your pet is in good hands. Pet sitting is our main focus right now, so we have real flexibility for full day visits, walks, weekends, and multi day sits, often on short notice. We learn your pet's routine, home layout, and any special needs. We follow feeding and medication instructions closely, send daily photo and video updates, and treat your home and pet like our own.
About: Aside from owning and training a large breed Labradoodle and small, demanding dachshund, I have also boarded German shepherds, border, collies, golden retrievers, golden doodles, labradors, and many more! With me, they will get all of the attention and all of the love! My entire routine is based around my dogs. They get their morning walks (before I have my coffee), snuggles mid day, and plenty of playtime in our big fenced in yard. Dinner is always scheduled and a Long walk is routine to help them digest. I choose boarding in my own home where I am comfortable, and I make the doggies comfortable as well! We have a large fenced in backyard and a large front yard keeping us away from our tiny road. We are far from any main road and live extremely safe community.
About: My love for animals began at an early age. Growing up in Puerto Rico, I was always surrounded by beloved family pets, especially dogs of many different sizes and personalities. Those experiences taught me how to respect each pet’s unique personality, recognize their boundaries, and earn their trust. Today, I’m the proud pet parent of two adorable cats, and I bring the same patience, attentiveness, and genuine affection to every dog and cat in my care. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the kindness and responsibility I would want for my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give each pet plenty of time, attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m available throughout the week and can adjust to your pet’s established routine whenever possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, medication, and household instructions while respecting your pet’s individual personality and boundaries. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I never force an interaction if an animal needs time to feel comfortable and build trust.

We are repeat customers of Samantha’s. We couldn’t be happier, she takes great care of our animals and our home while we’re away. Having her pet sit gives us peace of mind while we’re away because we know our animals are getting everything they need plus love and attention!

The average cost of House Sitting in Hernando Beach is $22 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $8 and $31 per night.

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 Beach 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 Beach 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Beach 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
