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 was fantastic! She was great with Hazel, she provided updates and pictures. I really appreciated the pictures she left too! I would definitely recommend Kelli.”

About: My family is grateful to still care for our 17 year old senior dog, Ace. We have had Ace since he was 8 months old. I have the energy to handle a puppy and the patience to handle a senior dog. I also have my own cat, Sophia. I truly understand the temperaments of both animals. I’ve been trusted to care for my own pets as well as my friends. I am available throughout the week as I am dedicated to Rover full time. I have my own vehicle so that makes traveling seamless. I am available from 10am-10pm most days. I understand that each pet will have their own specific way to be cared for. A pet is absolutely individualistic and there is no one way to care for everyone’s pet. Therefore, I will follow the directions as explained in order to keep the fur baby’s routine.
“Alexis immediately bonded with our two pets during the 1st meet-and-greet. She is a confident, focused individual and handled pet-sitting our dogs on two different dates with minimal instructions. Needless to say we rewarded her extra on both days showing our gratitude. Best Regards-GG ✌️”

“Maddyn took care of our house and dog for us while we were out of town. She was very communicative the whole time and brought in the mail and packages as needed. The house looked just as nice as we left it when we came home. We would hire Maddyn again.”

About: What sets me apart from a lot of others. is my years of working hands on with hundreds of dogs in my career as a dog professional. I also got to spend 11 years, loving and caring for 2 of the sweetest rescues anyone could have ever been blessed to have in their lives. My home sits empty now and is set up to accommodate your beloved furry friends. The majority of my experience is with dogs. I have been around cats but have never owned one. Working with and being around mans best friend has always been a rewarding passion of mine. Now that my 2 best friends have passed over the Rainbow bridge, I would like to share my home with some new furry friends for the part time. Although I'm not ready for another dog of my own, my heart is open to being a part time care taker of your best friend or friends. Over nights your dog will have run of the house and be welcomed and well looked after. I also have an Amazon "Echo Show" that is great for video drop in's to say hello to your friend. I'm still currently working as a professional pet groomer but I work from home outside in my old mobile grooming unit. I'm home all day on work days and available to give potty breaks. I do work 1 part time job away from home 1 day a week for 5 to 6 hours but I'm only 1 mile from home. Any other thing you would like to know, please ask. Thanks Maci I live alone in an older house, i dont have a back yard to offer but im always available for walking. In my years of working with dogs, their safety and security have been at the top of my priority list. After all, you're hiring me for this very thing, to care, look after and keep safe your best friends or friend. Your dog or dogs, if staying with me would be the only dogs with me. I would not feel comfortable having more than one pack at a time. While I'm really good with dogs, I'm no dog whisper.
About: I grew up with animals; dogs, cats, bunnies, horses, and even a raccoon for a time. I have a soft spot for the senior dogs. I am available any day of the week, usually starting at noon all through the night. I’m available for drop in visits for dogs and cats and dog walking. ❤️ My aussie rescue mix eats the farmer’s dog only. She has 4-5 walks a day. She is about 2 years old. We have a 6 year old rescue chiweenie. Both raised well with no aggression to other dogs.
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.
“Tonya took good care of our furry girl, as well as our house. Everything was in perfect order when we returned. Our dog enjoyed two walks each day and Tonya sent photos daily to show us.”

About: Every since my dog Max passed away 8 years ago, I gravitate and crave pets, especially dogs. Just want to love and care for dogs. As a yoga instructor, I work independently, I am self employed and I work in time intervals, perfect for dog walking and taking pet breaks! I have a fenced in yard. I also have a large room that used to be used as a yoga studio. It is relatively unused and could easily be used as a play room for puppies or dogs.
“We loved having Kelcey pet sit our Pup Zena. She gave Zena all the special care that she needed with being an older dog. When Zena didn’t want to go out after a long day, Kelcey picked her up and got her outside. She gave her a ton of loving and is very trustworthy. Will definitely book again as long as we still have Zena. Thank you again, The Gregory’s”

About: I’ve always watched the neighbors and relatives cats, dogs, flowers, gardens etc when they went on vacation. I’ve housesat for friends and family as well for years. I’ve had 4 beautiful dogs that lived very long happy lives. My husband grew up on a little farm so he has always been around animals and has had many pets as well. In fact, I think of him as the animal whisperer, because my dogs hated men and they adored him. All pets just attached themselves to him. We are responsible and friendly. You can rest assured that we will take care of your pets and your home. I am mostly retired. Occasionally have some work to do, but I am a digital nomad with loads of free time for your pets. My husband works at home as well and his schedule is flexible. I walk a lot, so exercising your pets is a given. We move around all over the world. No telling where you may find us. Just reach out. I watch animals as if they are my own with the same devotion and care. And I take care of property like it’s my own as well. I will leave your home at least and clean as I found it. We are neat and respectful people.
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for most of my life, and animals have always been a huge part of my home. I currently live with five cats and a dog, so I’m very comfortable with multi-pet households and different personalities. Whether your pet loves playtime, attention, or simply having someone nearby for company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a very flexible schedule and wide availability, including same-day appointments when I’m not already booked. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and schedule. I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty breaks, and any special needs. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing.
About: Helped foster animals for a while. I love animals cats, dogs and whatever they maybe. I’m pretty independent and expect every animal to have their own personality. We can play, walk, relax, chill or whatever they need. If you have a list or anything for them that might seem silly but works for your pet give it to me. I once ate cat food and dog food for pets that were shy or bashful and needed a little confidence. I have sung for them, danced with them, play and cuddled them. I’m a worker and a giver; so I will work and give your pets the best care possible. Let’s see if what I have meets your needs. I treat pets with love and respect for all the little quirks and cares that they need. Playing walking or just comforting them. They have feelings too
About: Allow me to love your pet as if it were my own! I have been a pet sitter for over ten years now and I have watched anything from cats, dogs, hamsters, fish, birds, ferrets, snakes to chickens and then some. I have also worked as professional dog walker for an extended period of time. I have experience with overnights. I have experience with drop in visits. I have experience with senior animals, medicine administration and round the clock care. I have volunteered in a professional vet facility and took four years of pre vet tech classes through out my high school career. My house is no longer pet free and I am unfortunately not able to host any new fuzzy friends. Thanks for stopping by and I cannot wait to meet you! I'm regularly available Wednesday thru Saturday and open to making exceptions if your needs fall outside my scheduled availability. We can work it all out! I always set up initial meet and greets to ensure we'll be a great fit. Additionally, I provide quick, respectful and open communication from start to finish.
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.
“Ava did such a fantastic job with my dogs. She was super attentive, she asked all the questions, and she really cared for them as if they were her own. She sent pictures the whole time i was away and updated me throughout the day. She was so great and I would absolutely have her watch them again! 🙌🏼”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hernando Beach
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!

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 1,552 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hernando Beach. 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 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.
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 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 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 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.
