About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve regularly watched my friends’ dogs and recently pet sat for my mom’s client for 4 days, where I made sure their pet was safe, comfortable, fed, and well cared for. I’m patient, responsible, and very attentive to animals’ needs. Most importantly, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾❤️ I currently work at Amazon and I do night shifts 1am-11:50am Friday-Monday and my Off days would be Tuesday -Thursday would also be available Friday-Monday after 1pm I treat every pet like they’re my own! I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get plenty of playtime and attention, and stick to their normal routine. I love giving pets lots of love and making sure they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions and make sure their fur baby is happy and well taken care of.

“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: 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: 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.

About: I have a jack Russell/ blue healer (I think) dog, that doesn't currently live with me. I've had my cat for a year and a half. I am willing to learn about your fur baby's needs, including medication. I will treat them like you would treat them. Any questions or concerns? Just ask me any time. I have a job, working 2pm until 2am. Sometimes I get off early. I'm available for any time 2am until work. Can let your pets out if you live in Spring Hill, TN or Columbia. I will treat your pet just like my own. I have a tiny fenced in area at my apartment for the dogs to run in. They will go for walks. My cat is trained to walk on leash. Willing to try and train yours. They're NOT allowed on my porch, seeing as it's on the top story! Multiple vet offices located very near, if needed.

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've been caring for animals for over fifteen years — starting with my own two dogs and quickly becoming the person friends and neighbors called first when they traveled. What began as favors turned into something I take seriously: I've looked after everything from eight-week-old puppies to a seventeen-year-old cat who needed delicate care and put on a diet on a strict schedule. Two things set me apart. First, puppy and senior dogs: I've raised three puppies through their first year, so I'm comfortable with leash pulling and senior care. As older pets need a slower pace, gentler handling, and someone who notices small changes — a limp, a skipped meal, a little more stiffness in the morning. I send daily updates with photos, and I'm not shy about calling you if something seems off. I also handle the less glamorous parts without complaint: medication routines, post-surgery restrictions, cats who want nothing to do with me for the first three days, and homes that need to be left exactly as I found them. Mornings, before work. Early morning is my best slot. I can walk dogs starting around 6:00 a.m. through roughly 8:30 a.m., so your dog gets a real walk and a bathroom break before the day starts — not a rushed five-minute loop around the block. Mid-day, on my work breaks. I get a lunch break and a couple of shorter breaks, and I can use them for walks or drop-in visits. That's the gap most owners worry about the long stretch between the morning walk and coming home. I can break it up, so your dog isn't waiting eight hours. Exact timing varies a little by the day, so tell me your ideal mid-day window and I'll tell you honestly whether it fits. After work. I'm available again in the late afternoon and early evening, typically from around 5:30 p.m. onward, for a longer walk or a play session. Before bedtime. I can also do a final walk late in the evening — usually between 9:00 and 10:30 p.m. — so your dog ends the day with a bathroom break instead of a long overnight wait. For puppies and senior dogs, that last walk often matters most. Weekends. My availability is wider on weekends, so morning, mid-day, and evening walks are all easier to arrange. I keep a regular weekly rotation, so repeat bookings hold the same time slot week after week, and I'll confirm every booking in advance. If your dog needs a set walk time that isn't on this list, ask — I can often shuffle things around. I offer both drop-in visits and walks, and I can care for pets in your home. Here's how I handle each part of it. In your home. I treat your space the way I'd want mine treated. I arrive when I say I will, and I leave things where I found them — doors locked, lights as you left them, trash taken out if you asked. I'll happily follow a written routine posted on the fridge, and I always text when I arrive and when I leave so you're never wondering whether someone showed up. Around your pets. I keep to your pet's normal food, portions, and schedule rather than improvising. I don't introduce new treats, new food, or new people without asking you first. If your dog is nervous with strangers, I'll take the first visit slowly — sitting on the floor, letting them come to me, no forcing. Same with cats: some need a week before they'll eat in front of you, and that's fine. Walks and outings. Every dog goes out on a properly fitted collar or harness and a leash I check before we leave. I keep dogs away from other dogs unless you've told me they're friendly, and I avoid busy roads, hot pavement, and unfamiliar off-leash areas. In warm weather I test the asphalt with my hand before we walk on it — if it's too hot for me to hold, it's too hot for paws. Health and emergencies. I ask for your vet's name and number, an emergency clinic, and a reachable contact before the first booking. If something serious happens, I get your pet care first, then call you — and I won't hesitate to go straight to a vet or ER if waiting seems wrong.

About: Hi! I’m Angelee, and I’ve spent the last 6 years ensuring pets stay happy, healthy, and tired out while their humans are away. Whether it’s a high-energy hike for your Lab or a patient, quiet visit for a shy senior cat, I tailor my care to every animal's unique personality. I currently work a full time 8 hours a day, so about every 8 hours I can take care of your pet and walk when I get home and feed. Before I leave for work I will feed and let out and play for a few until it’s time. I do not have a fenced in area but I do have a ground leash that give your pets the ability to run around and sniff out different areas.

I highly recommend Samantha! She did an amazing job taking care of my dog, my cat, and even my fish. It was such a relief knowing all of my pets were being well cared for while I was away. Samantha was dependable, caring, and attentive, and I could tell she genuinely cared about my pets. I came home knowing they were happy and well taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to have Samantha watch them again!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Hernando Beach

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hernando Beach is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $24 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 October 2026, there are 2,802 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hernando Beach. 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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hernando Beach. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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 .

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.
