“Victoria was great with our pit bull! She exercised him too which was much appreciated. She’s thoughtful, caring, & easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend her.”
“Brooke was wonderful with our babies. It was a last minute drop in visit we needed and she accommodated us easily and came on time when she said she would and stayed the timed scheduled, fed our babies and let them out to run and play for a bit while we were away. Definitely recommend and will definitely be using her again in the near future.”
About: Caring for others has been a meaningful part of my life for as long as I can remember—both people and animals. I’ve cared for my own pets, dog-sat for family and friends, rescued lost pets and helped reunite them with their owners, and have always been drawn to animals who need a little extra care and patience. I currently have a nine-year-old Beagle/Toy Poodle mix named Millie and a cat named Josie, who is about six years old. I rescued Josie as a stray when she was sick and in need of care. I took her in, helped her get healthy, patiently earned her trust, and ultimately decided to make her part of my family. Her journey has given me firsthand experience with cats who may be fearful, shy, anxious, temperamental, or slow to trust, and taught me how important patience, understanding, and respecting an animal’s boundaries can be. I’m comfortable with animals of different sizes, personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I pay close attention to animal body language and behavior and can recognize the signs that a dog or cat is comfortable, fearful, overstimulated, anxious, playful, or welcoming. I believe understanding those signals is one of the most important parts of caring for an animal because every pet communicates differently. My caregiving experience also extends to people. I’ve cared for infants, toddlers, and children, helped my mother with babysitting while growing up, and have provided care and companionship to elderly individuals. My professional caregiving background also includes working as an obstetric technician, caring for newborns, young children, and mothers following delivery, as well as caring for elderly patients, including those who needed comfort, companionship, and attentive support. These experiences have taught me to be patient, observant, dependable, gentle, and attentive to the needs of those in my care. Whether I’m caring for a person or an animal, I understand that they may not always be able to tell me exactly what they need. I’ve learned to pay attention, recognize changes in behavior, and respond with compassion. I understand that leaving your pet with someone else can be difficult. I take that trust seriously. I’m comfortable following your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and giving them the patience and space they need to feel comfortable. I also believe in keeping owners informed and communicating if I notice anything unusual about their pet. Most importantly, I don’t see pet sitting as simply “watching an animal.” I see it as caring for a member of someone’s family. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely cared for while you’re away—and for you to have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. My schedule is flexible because I do contract work, allowing me to focus on pet visits and walks. I’m happy to work with clients’ schedules and do my best to accommodate their routines, work hours, and pets’ individual needs. I prioritize safety, trust, and making every pet feel comfortable in my care. I have experience with dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and temperaments, including shy, anxious, fearful, energetic, and more independent animals. I pay close attention to body language and behavior so I can recognize when a pet is comfortable, overwhelmed, nervous, or needs space. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or visiting a client’s home, I will respect their routines, boundaries, environment, and individual needs. My goal is to provide calm, attentive, compassionate care while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are safe and well cared for.
About: I've been pet sitting for as many as 3 animals at a time since I was 12, I specialize in making pets feel cared for and following even complex instructions to the letter! I love cats and dogs of all sizes and energies. I really value putting in that extra effort to make a pet feel cared for and keeping a house tidy and safe. I can send updates every visit and value clear communication above all else. I work part-time as a stagehand with very flexible hours, often late nights, so my days are largely open for looking after whatever creatures come my way! I try to foster an environment of calm in any home I visit and am happy to work with a rowdier pup! I'm vigilant about potential hazards and have no problem keeping track of things like medicines, allergies or any other extras to consider.
“We couldn’t have been happier with Elizabeth! She was dependable, kind, and patient with our cat. It gave us great comfort as we traveled and we loved getting her pictures. She was very adept at giving our cat medication which is not easy! We would not hesitate to recommend her and would definitely use her services again.”
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!
“Dani was amazing! She helped us with our cat over Christmas and was super sweet and attentive. Drop in’s were always on time and she sent lots of pictures :) 10/10 would book again. Thanks, Dani!”
“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”
“Hannah has been an incredible help in settling in with my puppy. She has provided such good care and has been so communicative every step of the way. She even popped in last minute to help so that I could get a little extra time to enjoy a much needed day out. I highly recommend her!”
“Carmen was absolutely incredible with my dog Sally. It’s probably the first time I’ve felt at ease leaving Sally at home with someone that wasn’t a friend or family member. She was super communicative and attentive to all of Sally’s needs. 10/10 would gladly book her again!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life so I love dogs (and even cats.) I professionally started walking dogs in college when I had extra time and developed a love for hanging out with animals and helping others when they can’t. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so I have open availability to spend time with your furry friends! I would love to help someone out where I can. I will always love on your animals the way they like to be loved, whether that be just sitting with them or taking them on a long walk in the neighborhood.
“The kitties are so comfortable around Steve…they even sit on his lap, which is rare for anyone but me! Thanks for taking such good care of them! His visit check-ins are so detailed and sweet. Everything went very smoothly.”
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.
“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.”
“Ashley is a great sitter - very professional, on time, and most importantly all my animals love her. She is my go to sitter now whenever I need one. Thank you Ashley!”
About: I've cared for cats and dogs with all kinds of personalities, so I’m very attuned to what each individual pet needs to feel safe and relaxed. I take time to learn your pet’s routines, quirks, and preferences, and I follow your instructions closely so their day feels as “normal” as possible while you’re away. I’m patient with shy or anxious pets and gentle with seniors who need a slower pace, extra potty breaks, or help with stairs. In the past, I have fostered a pup who needed purposeful walks and extra mental stimulation and also a sweet 17-year-old cat that needed capsule medication twice a day. You can also expect clear communication from me every visit, with updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing and can travel with peace of mind. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. I ensure that all visits and walks are planned in my calendar well in advance so that your pet gets consistent attention and isn’t squeezed in “when I can.” Unless mentioned, I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks or drop-ins on most weekdays. I keep weekends open for extra visits or travelers who are out of town. When caring for pets in your home, my goal is to keep everything as close to 'normal' as possible for them and for you. I follow your instructions closely for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications or special routines. I take time to give your pet the attention and reassurance they need and stick to the schedule they’re used to so they feel safe and comfortable. I also treat your home with respect. I wipe paws if needed, keep food and water areas tidy, lock up carefully, and double-check doors, crates, and gates before I leave. After each visit, I send a quick update and photos so you know how your pet is doing and how the visit went.
“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!!”
About: I am an animal lover and have over 33 years of experience! I grew up having dogs and cats. I have had 3 of my own dogs and 2 cats, 4 of which were strays. I have trained all of my furry friends and even helped my Boston Terrier Mix have puppies. I have also cared for elderly pets and so I understand what it takes to give them the love and treatment they need in their more frail years. I currently have very flexible hours and can take care of your furry friend whenever you need me. I had a career in Nursing, but I am currently not practicing so I am free to help you out with your needs. I am very reliable and trustworthy. I have always had pets in my home, but take great pride in my home being well cared for and clean. I would ensure your home would be taken care of in the same way while looking after your pets. Whether it is my home or yours, or taking your pets for a walk, I will be respectful and ensure your pet and your home is well looked after.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Hermitage is $20

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!
Carmen was absolutely incredible with my dog Sally. It’s probably the first time I’ve felt at ease leaving Sally at home with someone that wasn’t a friend or family member. She was super communicative and attentive to all of Sally’s needs. 10/10 would gladly book her again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hermitage stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 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.
