“Taylor did a great job house sitting while we were on vacation. She took great care of our home, two dogs & cat. She was very responsive & sent us pictures of our boys while we were gone. I would definitely request her again in the future.”

“Casie did a great job taking care of my pets while we were away in my home. She went above and beyond and did things that were not asked of her as well as water my garden since we didn’t get any rain. I felt comfortable with her and even though I missed my babies I knew Casie was loving them just as I love them. I will definitely have Casie back.”

“Taylor was great! She responded quickly to messages. She reached out with updates and pictures as well. We had a senior dog and one that was fearful of fireworks and she was able to medicate. We really appreciated having her here too care for them.”

“Teresa is a remarkable dog sitter! I can't express enough how grateful I am to have found her. She's an absolute gem when it comes to taking care of our beloved furry family members. Her dedication and love for pets is evident from the moment you meet her. She's incredibly attentive, kind, and went the extra mile to ensure our dog's happiness and safety. Having a special needs dog, that is our utmost priority. Her communication is excellent, providing us with regular updates and even photos and videos, which we greatly appreciate. Leaving our dogs with Teresa gave us peace of mind, knowing they're in the best hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Teresa, for being so wonderful and for taking such great care of our babies!!”

“Vance did a fabulous job with our pups while we were out of the country. He sent us regular updates with photos and our girls always looked super relaxed and happy. The house was immaculate when we came home, and it was really reassuring to know our trash would be taken out, our water would be left running to prevent pipes from freezing, and our plants would be watered. He did a great job with everything, and we'd absolutely book him again.”

About: I have taken care of friends and family's dogs of different breeds and all ages. I have had dogs my whole life and have years of experience. I am currently on summer break from college and I am looking for work that I enjoy and can balance my art career with. Dog sitting is perfect for me as it is something I love to do but also gives me the time I need for my career. At home, I have a fenced in yard and make sure my dogs go outside about every 2-4 hours. They get breakfast and dinner around the same time everyday. Because of my dogs anxiety issues, I also groom them at home. I am very attentive and patient with any animal I interact with.
“Emily was wonderful. She provided me with updates throughout her stay on Daphne and answered all of my questions. She is very sweet, and Daphne enjoyed her time with her. I would absolutely book with her again.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and have been caring for them my entire life. I have experience with both large and small dogs as well as cats. I’m currently home from college for the summer and working part time so I have a good amount of time on my hands, especially on Sundays and Mondays. I experience with almost every type of pet care you can think of including things like bathing, crating, playing, walking, feeding, and even giving medication.
“Kaylee was wonderful! Her love for animals is very apparent, and we knew our dog was well taken care of while we were away! We will definitely be using her for future dog sitting! Would highly recommend!!”

“One sitter we always go back to as she makes it a breeze to go out when we know our dog is with her. Sends photos while she is with him and also took him on some walks, has no problem handling anything we ask of her!”

About: I have been dog sitting for over 3 years and have experience caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages. I am also a sitter with Freedom Paws, where I care for service dogs when their raisers are in class or at work. Many of these dogs are puppies under one year old, so I help reinforce their training, including basic obedience, socialization, and leash manners. In addition, I have experience dog sitting and house sitting for families, caring for dogs with a variety of needs. I am comfortable caring for puppies and can administer medications according to owners' instructions to help ensure pets stay healthy and comfortable while in my care. I work full-time on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Friday mornings. However, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursday mornings until noon, and Fridays after 2:00 PM. I also have weekends completely free and am comfortable providing overnight and weekend pet sitting when needed. I offer in-home pet sitting so your pet can stay relaxed in the comfort of their own home. I take time to learn each pet's routine and preferences, ensuring they receive consistent care, exercise, affection, and attention. I am reliable, respectful of your home, and happy to provide updates and photos throughout my stay so you always know how your pet is doing!
“Jacen did a fantastic job!!! We booked for 6 separate nights for stay overs at our house and everything went smoothly. Jacen is flexible and even watered our plants and took down some trash while we were gone. The cats were well taken care of and the communication was excellent. Highly recommend Jacen!”

“Tina was outstanding! She gave me daily updates on how my boy Chef was and was overall very thorough with making sure he was well taken care of. I will be reaching out to her again next time I need someone to watch Chef.”

“Hilary was fantastic!!She took such great care of our dogs,1 male Labrador almost 2 years old and 1 female lab 9 months old. So you can see she had some energetic young dogs! Hilary spent time with them inside & out. She kept in contact with us, sent pictures. The house was clean, the dogs shampooed, I think the dogs were sorry to see her go! We would definitely get Hilary again!!!”

About: Growing up with dogs, cats, and horses since I was seven years old, animals have always been my greatest passion. I truly believe in the unconditional love pets provide and enjoy caring for dogs at every stage of their journey—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Whether your pup is a high-energy breed or a laid-back hound, I provide the patient, dedicated care they deserve. Life at our house is pretty centered around family and home. I can visit morning, afternoon and nights on a dedicated schedule. Whatever works best for your pet! I love visiting pets in their homes. I let them out to use the potty, clean up the yard as much as possible, then tend to the essentials of food and water. Whatever the pet needs! Whether a brush, wipe down or snuggle on the couch, visits are centered around your fur babies.
“Melli was absolutely incredible!! We have a busy household with 4 animals (including one very young puppy!), and she was so caring and attentive with each one of them. We came home from our trip to a spotlessly clean house, a well watered garden, and (most importantly) 4 very happy and calm animals. It was clear that they had been so well cared for while we were away. We also got tons of adorable pictures and updates from Melli throughout our trip, which really helped to put our minds at ease. We will definitely be booking with Melli again in the future!!”
“Natalie was honestly one of the best sitters I’ve ever had on Rover, hands down. She came to meet my fur babes twice before the stay, which immediately put me at ease. She’s just really thoughtful and has such a calm, natural way with animals, you can tell right away she knows what she’s doing and genuinely cares. While I was away, she kept me updated and everything felt easy and stress free the whole time. At one point I even had a perishable package delivered and she took care of it without me even asking, which just says a lot about how attentive she is. But honestly, the biggest thing is how much my pets liked her. That’s always the real test, and they were totally comfortable with her. I’d absolutely have her stay with them again in a heartbeat.”


“I had Albert for the 1st time over this weekend. He was very friendly, reliable and great with my Labrador Sunshine. She is 2 1/2, high energy and 73 lbs. Albert handled her very well and took very good care of her. I already have him booked again this summer!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Herman
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Herman on Rover is $31.08 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,217 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Herman. 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 Herman 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 Herman 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 Herman 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.
