“Brooke was a wonderful sitter. She sent us pictures of our pups which I greatly appreciated. Also, she treated our pups as as if they were her own. I definitely recommend Brooke and they’ll use her again in the future.”
“Another wonderful experience with Lillian. My home and Veronica were well taken care of. Excellent communication, updates and pics. Veronica had a great time and enjoyed the walks and snuggles! I will be calling on Lillian again!!”
“Jessica was wonderful! She sent us photos of our dogs throughout the house sit and left us a detailed note which was appreciated. She left our house very clean as well. We would work with Jessica again!”
“Madelyn was communicative, giving daily updates about River while I was gone. She took her on lots of walks and it seems my dog really got comfortable with her and cuddled a lot. I also came home to a clean house and she was respectful of my space while she was there! I am excited to use Madelyn again in the future.”
“Amazing!! She took very good care of my girls and they are a handful lol!! Great communication with calls/texts/videos. I was able to relax on my trip knowing my place and babies were cared for 🥰.”
“Melissa was incredible with my babies! I know we were only gone for a couple of days, but by the first night, Cleo had warmed up to her and even cuddled on her lap. Rocket got lots of snuggles and walks. And Max got just the right amount of attention. She sent lots of pictures and made sure she asked questions if she was unsure about something (a huge must in my book). She even left a stocking of goodies for Max and Cleo from her own babies. We will definitely hire her again...”
“Casey was absolutely great! She took great care of our pups while we were away and was very respectful to our home. She sent us pictures and updates while we were away. We had no worries at all about our fur babies and we will definitely be using her again!”
“He did great with Delta! She was a little scared at first, but she warmed up to him pretty quickly. He updated me and sent me some pictures about halfway through my shift, which was super appreciated. I felt like she was in good hands!”
About: There hasn’t even been a time in my life where I haven’t been surrounded by animals. I grew up on a farm with mostly dogs, but also chickens, a pony, goats, bunnies, cats, and turkeys. I love them all! I work every other week with my full time position so on my off weeks I am looking for something to do that I know I’ll enjoy and animals are a huge joy in my life. I’d love to take stress off a pet parent in knowing who is taking care of their babies is truly loving on them. I personally won’t be keeping animals at my own home, but will do whatever is needed at the clients home for their baby. I am super organized, detail oriented, and reliable.
“Kristan provided top notch care for our three dogs. She was communicative with us and very easy to work with and the pups loved her. She took great care of them and our home while we were away. It meant so much to know they were in good and caring hands. Thank you Kristan!”
“Taler took such good care of our two boys! She had excellent communication and updated us regularly with the most adorable pictures and videos. I could tell by time we got home that our dogs grew attached to her and that was a clear indication of the great care she gave them. She was very respectful of our home and took great care of it too. Will definitely rebook her!”
“Jemima was a fantastic sitter! She stayed in our home and took great care of our dogs. Our puppy is a stubborn eater and she worked with him to make sure he ate enough throughout the day. Along with sending daily updates and photos, she also provided extra patience with our older dog who is skittish on night time walks. It was easy for us to relax on our trip knowing our dogs were safe and well cared for. Would absolutely book with her again!”
“Dawn was wonderful! She helped our family out after another sitter canceled last minute. She adjusted her schedule To meet us within a few short hours from our first contact. She then adjusted her schedule, which I am sure made it tricky, to help us in our time of need. And most importantly our pups loved her! ❤️”
About: I absolutely adore animals! Growing up, my childhood best friend had 6 dogs and a cat which meant I did too. This quickly taught me responsibility, compassion, and awareness. I want to apply those skills and experiences with your pets and learn more. I don’t have a lot of experience but there is nothing i’m not excited to learn to help take care of your pet as you would ! I am currently an orthodontist assistant! I work Monday - Friday 8-5 and Wednesday 8-1; I am free to care for your pet after 5 on weekdays and anytime on the weekend ! I make sure to keep things organized and where I found it. I am sure to follow whatever instructions left and will ask questions for clarification because trust and understanding go hand in hand. I clean after myself and pets that I take care of. Any modifications to your pet care I will carefully take care of. I am committed to providing the best care to you and your pet!

Angela was amazing! She was great with our senior Great Dane, even with all of his medical needs. She took amazing care of our dogs, was incredibly respectful of our home, and sent us tons of pictures. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and we will definitely be working with her again!
Dominic was a great sitter for our house and pup during an 11-day trip. He was very communicative, flexible and paid attention to detail during a long house sitting stretch. At the beginning of the trip, our flight was canceled and Dominic was flexible with coordinating a new day and time to arrive at our house and make sure our dog was taken care of. Our pup obviously had a great time and it was good to see him happy while we were busy with a family trip. We were very grateful to return to a happy and healthy pup and the house was in great shape! We will definitely reach out again in the future!
Audrey did a great job with our 11 year old German Shepard. She stayed at our home over the long 4th of July weekend and was extra accommodating with giving him his meds and making sure he was okay with the loud fireworks! Would definitely work with her again.
Danny was amazing! I could not recommend him enough! I was nervous leaving my two dogs- with one being an older dog and puppy who is not potty trained. He helped so much in helping potty training him and was very communicative throughout the stay. He sent updates and photos (which is always reassuring). He left me follow up notes on how to continue potty training when I came back and was just so helpful! He was very professional and so helpful. I will definitely be rebooking with him and I highly recommend to anyone needing a sitter!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hermitage is $52 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $90 per night. 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 2,492 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hermitage. 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 Hermitage 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 Hermitage 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Hermitage 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 , 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 .
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 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.
