“I had a fantastic experience with Brooke through Rover. She was incredibly responsive and even accommodated a same-day booking, which was a huge help. She bonded quickly with my dogs and made us feel completely at ease. Her professionalism and clear communication stood out from start to finish. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy care for their pet.”
About: Caring for others has been a meaningful part of my life for as long as I can remember—both people and animals. I’ve cared for my own pets, dog-sat for family and friends, rescued lost pets and helped reunite them with their owners, and have always been drawn to animals who need a little extra care and patience. I currently have a nine-year-old Beagle/Toy Poodle mix named Millie and a cat named Josie, who is about six years old. I rescued Josie as a stray when she was sick and in need of care. I took her in, helped her get healthy, patiently earned her trust, and ultimately decided to make her part of my family. Her journey has given me firsthand experience with cats who may be fearful, shy, anxious, temperamental, or slow to trust, and taught me how important patience, understanding, and respecting an animal’s boundaries can be. I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I pay close attention to animal body language and behavior and can recognize the signs that a dog or cat is comfortable, fearful, overstimulated, anxious, playful, or welcoming. I believe understanding those signals is one of the most important parts of caring for an animal because every pet communicates differently. My caregiving experience also extends to people. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and children, helped my mother with babysitting while growing up, and have provided care and companionship to elderly individuals. My professional caregiving background also includes working as an obstetric technician, caring for newborns, young children, and mothers following delivery, as well as caring for elderly patients, including those who needed comfort, companionship, and attentive support. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, dependable, gentle, and attentive to the needs of those in my care. Whether I’m caring for a person or an animal, I understand that they may not always be able to tell me exactly what they need. I’ve learned to pay attention, recognize changes in behavior, and respond with compassion. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be difficult. I take that trust seriously. I’m comfortable following your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and giving them the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. I also believe in keeping owners informed and communicating if I notice anything unusual about their pet. Most importantly, I don’t see pet sitting as simply “watching an animal.” I see it as caring for a member of someone’s family. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely cared for while you’re away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. My schedule is flexible because I do contract work, allowing me to focus on pet visits and walks. I’m happy to work with clients’ schedules and do my best to accommodate their routines, work hours, and pets’ individual needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and making every pet feel comfortable in my care. I have experience with dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and temperaments, including shy, anxious, fearful, energetic, and more independent animals. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can recognize when a pet is comfortable, overwhelmed, nervous, or needs space. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I will respect their routines, boundaries, environment, and individual needs. My goal is to provide calm, attentive, compassionate care while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are safe and well cared for.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a kid. I love taking care of these awesome little buds! I’ve taken care of and been around all sorts of dog breeds, including a few years of fostering dogs that needed some special love to make them feel safe and comfortable. I currently work part time from home, mostly doing video editing on my computer. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to make time for watching over furry friends when they need it the most. I also live with my cousin, who is around a lot of the time and loves it when friends come to visit! Dogs are welcome to roam the house, and I am happy to crate your pets, if that is desired. Any pets I look after will get an enormous amount of attention, because I just won’t be able to help myself!
“Steve is always takes great care of my dogs! He is very detailed in the notes and makes any suggestions when needed. I will continue to use him and is highly recommended”
About: I have experience with nearly every pet - from small animals to horses, and everything in between! I have researched for countless hours, bettering my knowledge to care for my furry (or not!) friends in the best way possible. I make my own schedule, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I am very flexible and understanding, so I look forward to your pet being a part of my day! We all know what is best for our pets, so I will gladly follow all directions and care plans specific to your pet. I will update you as little or as often as you’d like. I will match the energy of your pet, so we will always have fun 🤩
About: I've been taking care of pets since I was younger. I have had cats, dogs and tarantulas, so I am used to a wide range of animals. I live alone and work a typical 9-5 job as an attorney in town, and I do not have any pets of my own. I always pet-sit for my friends' cats and dogs, so I would love to do it with Rover. I love to play games with the animals to keep them stimulated. I also enjoy walking animals and simply being with them. I am very good with both dogs and cats.
About: I have cared for just about every animal type - dogs, cats, rodents, fish, and a few exotic reptiles and amphibians. In that scope, I’ve managed surprise litters, caring for young and senior pets with all their needs. I’m currently working from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I will have my elementary age kids and our senior dog with me every other week, and we’re unfortunately allergic to cats. I have a large fenced in yard, plus my own dog every other week. She is a bit picky about other dogs depending on their size, age, and personality.
About: With over a decade of experience, I bring a deep understanding of animal behavior and a personalized approach to pet care. From taking care of my own dog for 15 years, to providing gentle care for senior dogs, I tailor my services to meet the unique needs of each furry friend, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I plan my schedule to make sure pets get the time, attention, and exercise they need. I enjoy being active, so walks and outdoor time are already a regular part of my day. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and well-being. This includes adhering to their usual routines for feeding, exercise, and medication administration, if necessary. I provide regular updates to the owners, maintain cleanliness in the home and pet areas, and ensure ample playtime and companionship. Additionally, I respect the client's home and property, keeping everything in order and secure during my stay.
“Lauren was great for a last minute booking. She took great care of my pups and gave them a nice walk while I was out for the day. They were thoroughly relaxed and calm when she left them and she sent nice pics of their adventure in the neighborhood. Will definitely favorite her for the future.”
About: I’ve always loved caring for animals! I had my dog, Sophie, for 9 years, so I have plenty of experience caring for a dog, keeping up with their needs, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I also cared for my neighbors’ pets when I was younger, which helped me learn how to be responsible and attentive with animals. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog and give them the same love and attention I gave Sophie! I’m dependable, caring, and excited to meet your furry friend. 🐶❤️ I’m currently a college student looking to earn some extra money to help cover school supplies, books, and other college expenses. I’d love to combine that with something I genuinely enjoy; caring for animals! I have lots of love for both cats and dogs, so I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of company, whether that means playing, going on walks, or simply relaxing together! 🐾 I’m also happy to help with feeding, litter box cleaning, and other everyday pet-care needs. Your pets will get lots of attention, care, and love while you’re away! ❤️
About: I’ve owned dogs growing up and cats most of adulthood. I have both fostered & boarded dogs and cats on and off for 15 years. Both my cats have been raised around dogs & cats coming over to visit, so as long as the animals coming to stay are cat friendly, mine will be fine with the company. I’ve been entrusted to pet sit sick animals in need of regular medication without any problems. I’ve bathed both cats and dogs, so if needed, I can give your fur baby a bath too! I just started back to school, so I’m unavailable Monday-Thursday 6am-3:30pm. Outside of these hours, I am happy to take care of your fur babies as needed, whenever needed!😊 I have a nice home with a fenced in yard to allow pups to run and play. I do my best to give tons of love and play with all in my care. If you’re working on some training, I would be happy to help continue with this.
About: I’ve helped family members take care of dogs by walking and bathing when needed. I’ve always loved being around dogs all my life as I grew up around them and worked in pet stores since 2022. I am currently working full time but the earliest i can stop by is 8 am and the latest being 9:30 at night if needed. I am comfortable with working with any restrictions required by owner, even if it means crating the animal, or any dieting the animal may have. I am also CPR certified through the American Red Cross, i can also provide proof of certification.
About: I have lived/taken care of animals my whole life. Have taken care of dogs,cats,bunnies,lizards. I have two dogs at home that I care for and have trained. I work at a coffee shop in the morning/afternoons during the week but after noon my days are pretty open and am usually available anytime after that. I have a fenced in backyard and take my dogs on a walk 1-2 times a day. I follow whatever instructions are given and make sure the house is clean before leaving. When taking care of dogs will make sure to take them out every couple hrs.
“Jennifer was wonderful! Pixel sometimes takes a little while to warm up to new people and he took to her like she was a long lost friend! We will definitely be using her again!”

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Hermitage. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hermitage. On Rover:
- 92% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
