Pet Sitting Hermitage

About: Hi everyone! Our names are Karen and Chad and we’ve always had a love for dogs since childhood. The thought of caring or rescuing a dog has always been top of our minds. When we got married, we adopted a greyhound racer. We had him for 7 years and lost him unfortunately due to cancer. Since we lost him, we’ve wanted to continue helping/caring for dogs and can’t think of a better way then helping others with their fur animals. We know the working world doesn’t always accommodate balancing out caring for our fur friends and work and would love to help with that! Please chose us to care for your fur friends whether it’s a walk or a overnight stay in our home! We will treat them with the utmost love and care! We are available daily as Chad stays at home weekly. Karen is available to help out on weekends. Please let us know how we can help! We have a nice back yard, we accomodate the owners care preferences when it comes to being comfortable in the home (allowing on furniture/beds). We make them feel as if they are part of the family. We do have a dog bed and dog water/food bowels with plenty of space in our 2200 sq.ft home.In addition, there is a crate if needed.

“Sarah was so patient with our overly nervous dog! We felt confident knowing she would be in good hands.”

About: Hi! My name is Stephanie, and I’ve loved dogs my whole life. I currently have a friendly Goldendoodle named Abby, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits and will treat your dog like one of my own. I’m dependable, patient, and committed to making sure every walk is safe, fun, and tailored to your dog’s needs. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits on weekends and weekday evenings after 6:00 PM. My schedule may vary slightly from week to week as I’m also a college student, but I keep my availability up to date and communicate promptly. During every visit, I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, attention, potty breaks, and lots of love. I pride myself on being reliable, arriving on time, and sending detailed updates and photos after each visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I carefully follow all care instructions, keep dogs securely leashed on walks, and pay close attention to their comfort and behavior. I respect every client’s home, keep it clean, lock doors when leaving, and treat both your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would expect for my own dog, Abby.

About: I’m a stay-at-home mom living on a farm with 2 horses, 2 dogs, 3 cats, and a pig. Animals have always been an important part of my life since I was a little girl, and I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. My schedule allows me the flexibility and availability to provide consistent attention and quality care. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, or simply some extra love, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for. ❤️🦮🐈🐴🐽 As a stay-at-home mom, pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home most of the day caring for our own animals, so I have plenty of flexibility to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship during the week and the weekends. I enjoy having animals around and would love to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine and individual needs, providing attentive care from feeding and walks to playtime and companionship. I keep their environment clean, safe, and comfortable while making sure they receive plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet as I would my own and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I have a true passion for animals and animal care. I believe that they are so special to us and deserve to be treated as such! Since I was a child, I have been surrounded by so many animals- from cats and dogs to exotic pets! I strongly believe in rescue and have even worked with rescues to help get stray cats out of US Steel and other places. I am currently working full time M-F, but hold a flexible and open schedule. If it means the comfort and health of an animal, I am willing to spend any time that is needed to deliver the best experience. I currently have 3 cats that are mischief-makers. I am used to blocking animals from darting out of doors, getting into cabinets, trying to eat things they shouldn't, jumping places they shouldn't, and all of the other shenanigans they get into. Animal safety and well-being are at the TOP of my priority list.

About: I had pets ever since I was really young. I would help bathe them, feed them, and clean up after them. I've learned that pets have boundaries just like we humans do. All you need to do is be patient with them. I've help taken care of my past pets and even my other family's dog. I've helped watch my grandma's dog while she went on a one-week vacation. I've helped keep her fed, made sure to take her out when needed, gave her the attention she wanted, and cleaned after her. I even help baby sit my little cousin because I'm really trusting. I have the most pet care experience in cats and dogs. These are the pets I grew up with the most. I can handle two dogs at a time as long as they're small dogs. 0-20 lbs is fine. I work midnights, so there will be a timeframe whenever I can see a message or not. I work from 11:00pm to 7:00am, and typically sleep around 1:00/2:00pm to 7:30pm. Im available most times before 1:00pm. My everyday schedule can be easily adjusted when needed. I would treat your pets with respect and also respect their boundaries. I would treat them as my own and will do my best to keep them out of trouble. If you give me a list of things to do for them, I will gladly try my best to complete everything on the list. To make you feel comfortable I would gladly send you adorable pics of your furry friend. If I have any questions of your pet, I would be sure to text you. Feel free to check up on your pet at any time and I will respond fast as possible. Dogs need to be crated at night, unless they do really good outside the crate, meaning they don’t get into anything, or completely potty trained.

About: Hi! I’m a responsible and dependable person who enjoys being around animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’m happy to follow whatever works best for you and your pet. Whether your dog needs a good walk, your cat needs some company, or your pets simply need someone to check in while you’re away, I’m here to help. I’ll make sure they’re fed, cared for, exercised, and comfortable while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. I’m respectful of your home, attentive to details, and will keep you updated while you’re away. My goal is simple: make sure your pets are well cared for and that you can enjoy your time away without worrying about them. 🐶 Walks & exercise 🐱 Drop-in visits 🏡 House sitting ❤️ Lots of love and attention 📸 Photo updates so you know your pet is happy I want your pet to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away, while keeping their normal routine as much as possible. Our days typically include: 🌅 Morning Your pet will start the day with a potty break, fresh water, breakfast, and some playtime or a walk. They’ll have plenty of attention before settling into a relaxed part of the day. ☀️ Midday I work two days a week, but your pet will never be left without a plan. My husband works less than a mile from our home, so he can easily stop by during the workday to let your pet outside, play with them, and give them some extra attention. 🐕 Afternoon On days I’m home, we’ll have additional potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of companionship. I’m happy to adjust the routine based on your pet’s age, energy level, and normal schedule. 🌙 Evening Evenings include dinner, outdoor time, playtime or a walk, and relaxing family time. We’ll finish the night with a final potty break before bedtime. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual feeding, walking, potty, medication, and sleeping routines so their stay feels as familiar as possible. My goal is simple: while you’re away, your pet should feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for—not like they’re just being boarded I have a huge backyard to run and play in if your pet is able. We also have neighborhoods around us to go for long or short walks for exercise. I have no problem with your pet being on the furniture if that is what they are used to. There are currently no other animals in the house, so your pet will get undivided attention. There is an electric fence on our property, but will only be used if the pets’ parent prefers to use it.

About: I am looking to offer the unique opportunity to allow people to have their pets cared for by someone who is truly qualified. My personal goal is to put all profits made on Rover towards my student loans. I currently work full-time with a four day schedule each week and the days I'm off rotate, if you know a specific time you're going away, please reach out to me at least 12 weeks in advance and I can try to accommodate my work schedule. I will watch your pets the entire time. I'm with them, I will either keep them within their fenced in yard or on a leash if not in their own yard at all times.

“Emma communicated with us and was prompt with arriving at the scheduled times. We enjoyed the pictures she sent and our dogs were seen playing in the yard as they would if we were home. Emma was professional and seemed to enjoy our dogs. We will use her services again in the future.”

“Tabatha was a blessing! I felt at ease while on vacation with Tabatha caring for our pets. From what I can tell she kept them on their toes and probably did a better job then I would do! I never expected so many pictures of them either playing, eating, or just being goofy. Would definitely recommend and hope she's available next time!”

“Cortney was on top of it! She took my booking last minute and I was so grateful. She took care of my little Mishka. She did a great job.! She kept me informed and took pics and videos! Truly superb service and an awesome, sweet person!!”
