“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.”
“Chris was the absolute best! Our babies loved him. He took great care of them and left our place clean and tidy the way we had it. We will definitely rebook with him in the future! We can’t thank him enough!”
“Sarah did an absolute fantastic job watching after my doggy ❤️. She sent me lots of pictures/videos while I was out of town and took really good care of my home. I will definitely use her services again. 😎❤️😎🐶”
“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!!! 💛💛💛”
“Emory was wonderful! She checked in every day and let us know that Cleo was well. Cleo looked very happy in all her photos and was clearly well taken care of as she was happy and calm when we came home.”
“Jade was amazing, great communication all the way through. The cats were all looked after well, she even handled our newest addition who is at the end (we hope) of his kitten stages with 4am zoomies around the house knocking everything over. We would definitely welcome Jade back and we hope she sits for us again.”
“Angela took great care of our baby! We know he is comfortable with her and enjoys her company. She provides us with updates and leaves our house clean. We can count on her. She is our go-to sitter!!”

“Sarah was the best sitter for my two pups!! She took great care of both of them and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to stay at my apartment while we were away! Sarah sent many updates while we were gone and handled everything with the storms perfectly! I will definitely be booking with Sarah in the future!”
“Erin was awesome! She accepted a somewhat last minute booking and we are so happy we chose her! She was super attentive and gave multiple updates throughout the day. Our house was so clean when we got home and she really put our mind at ease during our trip! Highly recommend and will be booking again!”
“Caroline is a godsend. She gave us the peace of mind to enjoy our vacation and sent lots of great pictures and videos throughout the week. We came home to happy pets and she even checked to make sure our flight was landing on time. Caroline will be our first call every time we travel from now on.”
“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! ❤️”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hermitage
Simone stayed with our 4 pets (2 dogs and 2 cats) over the 4th of July weekend. Our Great Dane is terrified of fireworks and can be a little challenging. Simone kept a close eye on him and was very communinicative of everything happening. Would recommend having her sit for you!
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!!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hermitage
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hermitage on Rover is $50 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,572 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.

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.
