Simone is an extremely great communicator, sending us messages with updates and for coordination, and checking in for any questions, we really appreciated that!

Highly recommend working with Simone, she's a star!!!”

“Jen is the BEST! This was the first time we have left our anxious pup while being out of town, and Jen treated her like she was her own all weekend! She constantly updated us with pictures and texts of how our dog was doing. When we came home, our pup looked so happy and loved—it was as if we had never left! I recommend Jen to everyone considering booking. DO IT!!! 💛💛💛”
“Ali was great! She took great care of our home and our dog, was extremely professional and proactive in making sure all the boxes were checked and she had the right information to take great care of our pet. I highly recommend and will certainly book again in the future!”

We will definitely be using her again. She kept an eye on the house and it was clean despite my dog's habit of tracking in mud. She also was great to stay an extra night with our babies when I accidentally reserved the wrong dates. I highly recommend Erin.”

“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.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hermitage
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!
Chris was a life saver. He stayed at my home with my dogs. He did a great job. They looked calm and relaxed in every photo I got. The house was in great shape when I returned, and he even watered my plants. I was able to enjoy my time away without worrying constantly about my animals. I am so grateful for this experience.
Brooke went above and beyond to care not only for our two dogs but for our plants and home while we were away. When our flights got changed at the last minute, Brooke was gracious and flexible. When our AC went out the last two days she was at our home, she found the coolest spot in the house to keep both herself and our dogs cool. Brooke communicated well and also sent pictures and videos of our dogs throughout our time away. When we got home, I could tell our dogs and our home had been well taken care of. We will be contacting Brooke again for future dog sitting needs! Thank you so much, Brooke!!!
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 for House Sitting in Hermitage on Rover is $53.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,551 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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hermitage. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
