“Brooke did a wonderful job taking care of my dog and home during a May 2026 trip to the beach. Her communications were outstanding and upon return, I could tell that my puppy had been well cared for. I would give Brooke the highest possible rating , 5 STARS for sure. Mitch G.”
“We loved having Alex stay over and watch our dogs. It was such a relief knowing they were home and comfortable. Made our time away much more enjoyable. We will definitely use her again!”
“Sarah is always reliable and this trip, even though she got extremely sick, she kept us in the loop and received support instead of leaving our very sick cat who needs a house sitter instead of just drop ins. It was very scary to be far away with no backups, but Sarah hung in there and took care of our baby despite how sick she was.”
“Amber was a pleasure to work with! It’s easy to see once you meet her that amber is great with animals! She was respectful of our home, had an open channel for communication, followed care instructions well and provided regular updates during her stay at our house! She did a great job with our cat and dogs and especially our senior dog who had some tummy issues during the stay. Despite our dogs being difficult to walk at times and my senior pup needing some extra care and cleaning, Amber handled everything like a champ! I would be happy to book with 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!”
“I want to gatekeep them so more people don’t book but it would just be wrong - they were the best! They cared for my dog like he was their own, and took great care of the house. We loved the updates they sent and will definitely rebook!!”
“Matthew did a wonderful job sitting with my two dogs while I was away. He sent updates and photos and was very responsive and the dogs loved him! I highly recommend you hire Matt for any sitting needs.”
About: I have had dogs since I was a kid! My parents made me responsible for walking them, feeding, playing, and potty breaks. I worked at a pet resort for 2 years, taking care of up to 25 pets at a time. I work a few days a week, but the hours aren’t long so I would be able to check on a pup every few hours or go on walks in my free time. I wouldn’t take dogs into my own home because of my family’s pets, but in someone else’s home I will keep the place clean, not invite people over, and learn about how they want me to live/act in the space.
“Melissa was the BEST! She got our shyest kitty out of hiding with her kindness and patience. She has such a calm demeanor that made our dog and 2 cats fall in love with her! She went above and beyond to send pictures, updates, and make our babies feel loved while we were out of town!! Will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Elizabeth was reliable and my baby loved her! She took good care of my home and Kitty for 10 days and went above and beyond to make sure I had a clean home to come home too as well as communicate while I was away! Strongly recommend.”
“Hailey was absolutely wonderful!!! She kept us up to date on all of the fun and snuggles our pets were having while we were away. We look forward to having her come back to watch our little ones.”
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.
“I highly recommend Cashmere. She gave great care to our pups and house while we were away. She was also very flexible and made adjustments when needed because of our crazy schedule. Thank you SO much!”
“Dominque was not only amazing with the dogs she went above and beyond to care for our home. She sent lots of picture updates and videos and kept in informed about the dogs and the house the whole trip. We loved having her stay and will definitely be having her stay again. 10/10 recommend!”
“Elyssa stayed with our dog Elle for five nights in our home. We got frequent updates and came home to a happy pup and a clean house. Elyssa was very responsive and it was a great experience for us. Highly recommend - thanks Elyssa!”
About: I enjoy all animals. I aspire to open an animal rescue in the future. I have one amazing dog that I raised from a puppy. I take him on runs for exercise and also slow walks where he can take in all the smells. I love getting to meet new dogs and give them lots of love and massages. I try to connect with animals and make them feel more confident and comfortable so their true characters are able to come out. I have some extra time where I can spend taking care of your loved one. I truly enjoy being active and can exercise your dog better than over 90% of dog walkers (according to my mileage). I am very clean and respectful of other people’s homes. My parents were never strict, but one big thing they taught me was how to respect other people and their home/sanctuary.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Hermitage is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hermitage
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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Hermitage is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $94 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.

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.
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 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 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hermitage. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
