“Carmen did an excellent job of watching over my 3 cats for the week. Perfect communication and updates. Pictures were most appreciated. Definitely will be using her services again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs big and small since i was 16! Whether it be going on walks, bathing them or just watching them! I’ve always had a love for animals, caring for them brings me joy! I’m working a full time! This is something I like to do any time I can on the side! I’m willing to work with anyone if they will work with me with my crazy work schedule. I’ll make room for taking care of anyone’s furry babies! I have a fenced in yard with a puppy, I make sure there isn’t anything harmful on the floor or in reach, there’s plenty of space and toys!
About: I have professional experience caring for dogs through Wag, PetSmart, and Petco. I worked with Wag for two years providing dog walking and pet care services similar to Rover, and I also worked as a professional bather at both PetSmart and Petco. In addition, I have experience training German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois in Schutzhund-style training, which gave me hands-on experience working with strong, intelligent, high-energy dogs. I’m comfortable following detailed feeding, exercise, training, and care routines, and I take safety and each dog’s individual temperament seriously. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, structure, or simply a comfortable place to stay, I’ll treat them with the same attention and care I would expect for my own pet. I’m available throughout the week and can provide regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible so their stay feels familiar and comfortable. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. I have a fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and experience handling dogs with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels. I follow feeding, medication, exercise, and crate instructions carefully, and I’m comfortable maintaining structure for dogs that thrive on a routine.
“Mary took great care of our dogs while we were away for the weekend! We always appreciate the updates and photos, gives us comfort knowing our girls are being well taken care of.”
“Dominic is awesome! He’s a great communicator which is huge for pet parents who worry. You can tell he really loves animals and does a great job taking care of them. We’ll definitely book again!!”
“Donna was absolutely amazing and such a sweet caretaker to my baby when I was out of town! She had very detailed updates and was always on time. I would trust her with any of my animals and will definitely be using her again!”
“Christa will be our go to cat sitter going forward. She was punctual, communicative, and just all around great with our cats. We enjoyed our vacation knowing that our cats were well taken care of. 10/10 recommend”
“Elisabeth took amazing care of my girl Lucy! She communicated so well, I had zero worries on my trip. She goes above and beyond to make your pet feel comfortable and happy while you’re gone. She will be my regular sitter in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m Connor, a Nashville local and lifelong animal lover. While I don’t currently have any pets of my own—my landlord doesn’t allow it—I deeply miss the companionship and joy they bring. That’s why I’d love to care for your pup during my evenings or weekends. I value consistency and reliability—ideal if you’re looking for a trusted regular walker or sitter. I offer: Weeknight walks starting after 5:30 pm Weekend walks & drop-ins (flexible hours) Pet sitting for weekend stays or when you’re away You can expect timely updates, photos, GPS-tracked walks, and respectful care of your home and routine. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available for evening walks after 5pm and mostly any time on weekends. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as long as I'm not at work, since I don’t have pets of my own but would love to spend time with yours. I’m also open to overnight sitting when you’re away. If you’re within a 10–15 minute drive from my work, I may also be able to do a 30-minute walk or drop in during my lunch break around 1pm! I treat every pet as if they were my own and always prioritize safety. In your home, I’ll follow your routines and respect any rules you set, whether that means crating, leashing, or keeping a calm environment. I understand pets can feel anxious when their owners are away, so I make sure to give them comfort, attention, and consistency.
About: I have years of hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I personally have an 8 year old Chocolate Lab, a high-energy 3 year old Aussiedoodle, and a sweet 4 year old Tuxedo cat. Managing a mix of dogs and cats daily has taught me how to deliver attentive and detailed care; whether that means keeping up with active play, maintaining daily routines, or providing gentle companionship. I work from home full time so I am available for mid-day walks and drop ins. I only like to take on pets within a small local area so I am available quickly and frequently for extended care. I will always respect your home and established routines. I take the time to learn what works best for you and your pets so I can fit in as seamlessly as possible. I always provide pictures and updates so you know your loved one is having a great time.
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!
“Amy was great! There were difficulties on our building's end with access, but she was so communicative and worked to navigate the issues. Our little man appreciated her visits, and we would be happy to have her watch him again.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I currently own a chocolate lab, but have experience with other breeds. Such as; pit bulls, daushands, American Eskimo, German shorthair, beagle, Corrie, yorkie, boxer, mountain cur, eta I work from home, so I do have flexibility. I’m nice I set a schedule, I stick to it! I am excited to meet your pet! I offer client home sitting only. I will travel to you. Provide water, walk, feeding, medication/vitamins, treats, and playtime. Overnight stays if/when needed depending on dates.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hermitage
Tyler was fantastic with our two pups. He was always on time and very responsive. He gave great feedback on how each visit went. He played with our pups to get some energy out which they need. Both of our dogs loved him and we super excited to see him. He even reached out about a nail we had sticking out of our deck that he was concerned could harm our pups paws and he offered to fix it for us. We will definitely use him again if we leave town. Highly recommend Tyler!
Carmen was one of the best dog sitters we have ever used on Rover. She sent thorough updates everyday and took great care of our dogs. We have a brand new puppy and Carmen went above and beyond and taught our puppy a few new tricks while she visited on the drop-ins. I think our dogs want us to leave the house more now so Carmen can come over to play more. 🙂
My little guy has really bad anxiety 😥 So do I leaving him for a extended period of time Angela helped him so much. She went the extra mile to keep him calm. He looked so happy in the report cards. I definitely made the right choice hiring her. You could see he was very glad to see her every time she came to care for him and hang out with him. I will definitely hire her again for future trips.
This was our first time leaving our dogs and depending entirely on drop-in visits while we were out of town, so having someone we could trust was a huge deal for us. Amber did a fantastic job caring for our dogs and made the entire experience stress-free. She was also very attentive and may have even helped tidy up a bit, which was such a thoughtful touch. She kept us informed, handled everything smoothly, and even administered medication without any issues. One of the biggest signs of approval from our dog Addison is that she doesn’t want people to leave, and she definitely gave Amber a hard time when it was time to go, which told us all we needed to know about how comfortable she felt with her. (Sorry, Amber!) We came home to happy, well-cared-for dogs and couldn’t be more grateful. It is such a relief knowing we have someone dependable, trustworthy, and caring that we can count on when we need help with our dogs. We will absolutely continue using Amber in the future.
Crystal was fantastic! She took great care of our pet and provided frequent updates, photos, and messages throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared and treated our pet like her own. Communication was excellent, and we always knew how things were going. We would absolutely book with Crystal again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Reagan is my go-to sitter for my little spoiled queen cat, Koko! I have rebooked multiple times as I travel on and off for work. Reagan is reliable, trustworthy, but more importantly, she really loves being around pets. She takes her time with them and makes sure they feel loved during her visit. As a crazy cat mom, it makes a world of a difference knowing Koko is taken care of - I just don’t have to worry. Will continue to rebook and thankful I found her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hermitage is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $31 per visit. 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 4,283 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hermitage. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 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.
