House Sitting in Hernando Beach

About: As a proud resident of Hernando Beach, I bring 20 years of experience as a devoted dog mom and recently a loving cat mom. I cherish every moment with my pets, whom I affectionately refer to as my “kiddos.” From walks to playful afternoons and cozy cuddles at night, I ensure they are spoiled with love, attention and treats! I also enjoy taking them on fun trips where they can swim and splash in the ocean. With a keen sense for noticing when something is off, I am dedicated to providing immediate care and comfort for all sizes and ages, including seniors who may need a little extra attention. Let me help care for your furry family members while you work or play! I work from home in Hernando Beach, and have plenty of breaks in the day to help out neighborly pets in the area if needed. I am happy to drop in and feed pets, change litter, clean up after both dogs and cats, give any meds that may be needed and let them out to use the restroom if needed and run around for a moment.

“Kelli is just the sweetest person and excellent with animals. Our dog really loves her, seemingly more than some of our previous sitters. She reaches out with pictures and updates. She is respectful with our house and leaves it very nice. She’s genuinely just a really kind and generous person. She’s my favorite go to sitter!”

About: (** Last minute requests? Please still reach out! I can usually* accommodate! Calendar says I’m unavailable? Please still reach out! I may just be unavailable for majority of the day time and free at night, etc! I can’t promise availability, but I will always try to accommodate!💖 **) Hi 👋🏼 My name is Jazz and I’m a dog mommy of 3 crazy pups named Zen (2 year old Chihuahua), Page (4 year old Blue Heeler) and my newly adopted chiweenie, Chai (2 years old.) With that being said, I am no stranger to high energy dogs! My whole life I’ve always been drawn to animals and I truly believe their love is one of the best forms of therapy ever! I’ve always been told that I should get into pet sitting since I love animals so much, so I’m finally making it happen. I’ve been so blessed in my years to have watched a wide range of animals of different age ranges. I was so excited when I got the honor of watching my Chihuahua’s brothers and sisters as infant puppies when their fur momma was unable to care for them because of health concerns. Caring for them included bottle feeding formula to them throughout the day and night, consistently changing their bedding, stimulating them for potty time, and giving so much love and cuddles! I’ve tended to senior pups who’ve required consistent diaper changes, slow walk therapy, syringe administered meds and lots of naps and love, too! Some of my coolest pet besties have been reptiles like bearded dragons and leopard geckos which are my absolute favorite, so I’m fearless when it comes to feeding meal worms and crickets alive or not! I understand the need for certain heating temperature lamps for beardies, and warm/cool/humidity setting for geckos as well. I love taking beardies for adventures around the house on my shirt or shoulders! ☺️ I’ve also been blessed numerous times by the cat distribution system when I’ve come across kittens that I’ve taken home and cared for until I’ve rehomed! Although their stays have been short, those precious faces and cuddles I’ll always remember! Last but not least, all the sweet pups in between! I have a plethora of experience with dogs of all energy levels. I’ve made besties with the calmest of the calm ones who just like to nap with me by their side or burrowed under a blanket and also the ones who love car rides, adventures/hikes, shopping and pup cup trips and one million rounds of fetch! No matter what it’s always the biggest seratonin release and I’ll never stop loving my fur friends! Overall, I hope to make meaningful connections with you all and your babies! 🤍 I work full-time in the legal field so I am only available to give part of my time to Rover. I would be free before 7:30am and after 6pm on weekdays, but completely open on weekends! There may be times where I can be more flexible and l’ll 100% communicate that when my schedule allows it. When it comes to my caring for pets in my client’s home I am BIG on communication! I am there to make you and your pet the most comfortable. I appreciate lists when given/if necessary, as much pre-info as possible, a meetup/phone-call etc prior to me coming and anything that would help us both. I believe in update texts and pics of your pet because as a pet parent I know updates are a relief when having to be apart from them. I also tend to write out schedules of feedings, potty breaks, etc just so parents are aware of exact times and other aspects of care. Whatever the directions are, I’ll be sure to follow them! ☺️

“Brad went above and beyond when he cared for our little zoo. He sent updates and pics often so we could keep up with our babies. We highly recommend him for your pet needs!”

“Kenny was great with Dak. He spent the time with Dak making sure all his needs were met and he was happy. He left our home as it was when we left. We will have Kenny come over and stay with Dak again.”

About: I can’t remember a time in my life that I haven’t had dogs and cats. I have experience with special needs cats, currently have a tripod and one with asthma. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their animals when the need arises. As for dogs… well, they can’t speak, so the obvious form of communication is belly rubs ;) As the son of a Veterinary I have been exposed to all types of animals and situations my entire life and given the opportunity I am confident I can manage all of your fur baby’s needs! I currently have a flexible schedule which allows me the freedom to work around your needs. Rather it is a daily walk, feeding, park play, or house sitting for date night or a getaway I have you covered. I am currently offering services at your home as to accommodate all of your fur baby’s daily routines and needs whenever the need arises.

“Janicia was wonderful, she was able to watch our pups on such short notice. We were only gone for one day but will use her again in the future!”

“Deborah was a life saver. She took wonderful care of our dogs. She communicated regularly and sent pictures. She also took care of our home and brought in packages and mail. I will definitely be using her for future sits.”

About: I accept last minute requests :) 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.

“Alyssa is truly amazing. She responds nearly immediately every time, she sends updates and photos. I felt so comfortable with her at my home from the start, and my dogs got the best care. I am so blessed to have been connected with Alyssa. She noticed the smallest nick on my male bulldog (he is crazy and bangs his body up on everything, she’s at zero fault) she immediately sent me photos and was concerned as if it was her own. She went above and beyond, cleaning her room, areas she was in and her bathroom. I am 100% booking again!!”

With a passion for animals, I ensure every tail wag is full of joy and every paw is in safe hands.

I also offer taking the dogs to the park and which is almost always empty with two sides to keep dogs separate if need be. I can also accommodate whatever kind of exercise you and your dog are comfortable with. I’m flexible and eager to meet and play with your sweet doggie!

“Shana has cared for our pets several times, consistently going the extra mile to accommodate their existing routines. She is professional, punctual, and a good communicator. Highly recommended👍”

About: I have cared for my friends and families dogs for many years. Either out of town or busy work schedules. I assist with all needs. I work part time with children so my availability is open to helping others in need. If I’m not at work I am home so I am available to travel as well. I love to go on walks and get out in the fresh air. Car rides or dog parks (if applicable). I do have cats but they are extremely friendly.

“Micaella did a wonderful job of caring for my babies and my house while I was out of town! Would definitely have her stay and care for them again!”

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: I’ve been around animals ever since I can remember. They always seem to gravitate towards me and trust me. It’s brings me a lot of joy to be able to accommodate pets needs and make them feel comfortable. I appreciate and thank you for the opportunity and trusting me with your pets. I have recently come home from traveling the country for 3 years in our travel trailer. My schedule is completely open and I would love to be able to make this a full time job. I feel this may be my calling ever since I’ve been a child. I am very attentive to my cats (when they want me to be). I make sure the house is pet friendly and caters to their needs. I believe every animal has its own unique personality and it’s important to accommodate this for their comfort and confidence.

About: Trusted local business owner, local resident and a true lover of animals (it’s why I’m doing this). My service isn’t treating your pet like a business like many sitters. I give them the time I’d give a new foster cat or dog Ive adopted. I work from home so they will have me here always. I have a deep love for all creatures, big and small, and my experience goes beyond just "liking" pets: • Shelter-Tested: I’ve spent significant time volunteering for local shelters, which taught me how to handle different temperaments, follow strict feeding schedules, and give some extra TLC to pets who might be feeling a little shy or anxious. • Flexible Setup: Whether your fur baby is more comfortable in their own environment or wants to come hang out at my home, I’m happy to accommodate what makes them feel safest. • The "Paparazzi" Treatment: I know how much you miss them when you're away! I’m big on sending photo and video updates so you can see exactly how much fun (or napping) we’re having. A Typical Day With Me Whether I’m watching a high-energy pup who needs three walks a day or a senior cat who just wants a warm lap to snooze on, I tailor my care to their personality. Your pet's routine is my top priority—I want them to feel like they’re on a "staycation" rather than just waiting for you to get back. I’m responsible, communicative, and—most importantly—genuinely excited to meet your furry family members. I can't wait to hear from you! Everyday I take care of my best friend (my cat) so adding more to the routine is not an issue: I wake up and attend his needs and spend time with him all day. Wouldn’t have it different! I run a business that I can make my own hours and schedule - so it works very well for assisting people with their animal friends tasks. No one comes here besides myself. My doors are all locked and the house is very safe and secure for animals. They have a good amount of space to run around with no chance of getting outside. The backyard is fully fenced - I just spent $2500 replacing the fence as well to make it fully secure and safe.

About: I’ve cared for my own pets from puppy to senior age. Enjoy spending quality time with pets. I also have experience with other animals not just dogs and cats. I have open availability that can meet the needs of your pets. Stay at home husband with open availability that will work around your needs for pet care. Able to come to your home as needed for care. Available to care for your pet(s) at your home. Not able to care for your pet in my home. Available for overnight sittings, daily drop in’s, etc
