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.
“Cheryl did a phenomenal job...I could tell when she did a meet & greet that my pets liked her & were comfortable with her which is important to me! I have 6 cats, 4 big dogs & feed a stray! My one dog is a senior...15 + yrs, one cat has a thyroid issue, She handled it all..I was concerned because they are big dogs, two pit bulls & sometimes can be intimidating but Cheryl was at ease! Everyone was taken care of. We highly recommend her & will be booking again!”
“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!!”
“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: For 2 years I’ve took care of my neighbors dogs by letting them out, feeding them and playing with them. I love animals and I grew up in a household filled with animals. I believe a dog is a humans best friend and I’d love the opportunity to get to know you and your animal! I currently work nights at publix as a grocery stock clerk. I am very flexible and will be able to let your animals out and care for them whenever you need. I would love your trust to take care of them. I take my dog milo for a walk everyday when I get home so that way he gets most of his energy out and then he will lay down and relax for a little bit before wanting to play. I feed him twice a day and give him a bath once a week.
“Our dogs loved Osvaldo from the moment they met him! He kept the house spotless, sent the best photo updates, and took incredible care of our two pups. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and a clean home. We cannot wait to book him again!”
“Sharon is like family after only one walk and a 4 day house sitting assignment. She is reliable, responsible, personable, flexible, and you get that from her as soon as you meet her. I would not leave my precious dog (in my home) with anyone I didn't trust, and I wasn't disappointed. You would be so lucky if she is available....my highest recommendation!”
“Shana is a gem. She stayed in my home with "the kids" for 4 days. My senior dog and my 2 cats were all well cared for and loved on. She also sent periodic updates and pics, which helped put my mind at ease while away. When I came home, everything was clean, and the floofs were all happy. Thanks so much, Shana!!”
“Bryanna is fantastic! We’ve never felt so relieved in knowing that we have a person we can fully trust and rely on with our pups. We have a senior dog and a puppy. That combo can be a bit overwhelming, but Bryanna was able to handle them effortlessly. We know we will be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“So happy to find Samantha available last minute after our sitter bailed. She was very flexible and able to come meet our crew before hand. She was able to keep up her busy schedule while still making our pups her priority. Everyone was happy & healthy upon return & we appreciate her help with some extra “accidents” from our older pups. Will book again!”
About: Animals have always been attracted to me and felt comfortable with me. I have a few months experience in a vets office and over 1 year now as a private pet sitter. I work part time at a brewery, and have plenty of availability to watch pets. I can come to your house multiple times throughout the day and even stay over night if that’s what you prefer 😊 I usually like to set up a meet & greet and take notes on each pet to have as much information about them before my stay.
“Tori is an amazing pet sitter! She cared for my two large, energetic dogs for 4 days in my home. She kept me informed with photos and notes so I could relax, knowing my dogs were happy and safe. Tori reached out to clarify instructions to ensure the dogs' safety. The dogs absolutely love her! She is The Best!!”
“Victoria was absolutely amazing watching our babies for a weekend! She sent picture updates while we were gone & treated our babies like her own. I highly recommend her and will 100% be using her again in the future!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I’ve always been very hands-on with the pet care at home. I am a trusted pet babysitter amongst my family. I value the pet’s mental health and happiness especially while their owner is away. I am a part-time college student, and I work at a catering company with a highly flexible schedule, so I can work around your needs. I try to encourage a stress free environment by sticking to your pet’s normal routine while you’re away, making sure that they’re happy and healthy, as they would be under your own care.
About: I have decided to not work the 9to5 jobs anymore and to do what I'm passionate about, furbabies. I am not new to taking care of doggies and cats, just new to advertising. I've grown up with dogs. I have been fostering and rescuing for 10 years. I have experience with the bouncy happy dogs, the shy and skittish, the ones whom you have to earn their trust.Furbabies are my passion. Each fur baby has their own unique personality and quirks. I have very flexible schedule and can accommodate easily. I don't have a full time job and spend most my days playing with my dogs and cat. I will follow the owners instructions on how they want their fur baby cared for. When I'm watching the fur babies it's all about them
About: Hi! My name is Krystal and I’ve had pets my entire life. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. At the moment I offer Drop-In Visits and Dog Walking only. I’m located in Spring Hill, FL and usually require bookings 24–48 hours in advance, though I’m happy to help with last-minute requests if my schedule allows. During visits I make sure pets get the attention and care they’re used to at home. This includes feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning cat litter boxes, and spending quality time with them so they don’t feel alone. I also send photos, videos, and detailed notes after every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m comfortable working with pets that require special care or medication, including diabetic pets that need insulin. For dogs that need to burn energy, I offer walks ranging from about 0.5 to 2.5 miles, usually scheduled early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the Florida heat. For longer bookings (about 7 days or more), I like to spend extra time during visits whenever possible so pets get additional attention and companionship, always with the owner’s permission. My goal is simple: to make sure your pets feel safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away. I work as a graphic designer from my home so I'm able to watch over your pets at all times and even do long term drop in checks on pets, and Pet Walking services. We have an unfenced home, but very big yard. I leave my dogs to roam, as they already know how far they can go. As for other pets, I’d walk them and keep them on leash if we are to spend some outside time
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.
“Kelli and Torrie were amazing pet sitters in my home! Beyond their sweet and adorable personalities, they took outstanding care of our fur babies! They were responsive and so easy to communicate with during the whole booking process. Max and Sophie looked so happy in all of the pictures they sent us every day, I thought they wouldn’t want us to come back home! We will definitely call them again!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing! She was so great with our dogs and they loved hanging out with her! She was responsive and funny! We will definitely use her again!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Weeki Wachee Gardens
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,115 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Weeki Wachee Gardens. 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 Weeki Wachee Gardens 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 Weeki Wachee Gardens 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 Weeki Wachee Gardens 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
