About: Responsible and reliable pet owner who will treat your pets like my own! I have two high energy pups who love to meet new friends and play in the yard. I’m also available for walks and enrichment activities during drop in visits. My schedule is varied but I I’m available up to five days a week and can accept last minute bookings! I know how stressful it is to find reliable, safe pet care and my flexible schedule allows me to be there to help others. Our dogs are all crate trained and have access to lots of in home enrichment opportunities. I have a large unfenced yard for overnight boarding, and have two very friendly female dogs who enjoy meeting new friends. I’m available for walks and drop in visits.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I am a big animal lover so your pet would be in good hands. They will get a lot of attention, exercise, and love. I am fully able to take care of your pet 7 days a week and all daytime hours. I am available from 6am to 10pm. I can provide a leash if needed and walk only on sidewalks, paths, trails or take them to a nearby park. Safety is my highest priority.

About: As a mom of 2 human children and 1 very special needs bulldog, I can promise you I will be patient, caring and attentive when caring for your fur baby. Whether it’s lots of walks or dog parks or ball tossing playtime they need, or just cuddles and hugs if they want to lay low, rest assured your fur baby will receive the same level of care you would give them. My bulldog Nora has been special needs since day one- we say she is “misunderstood”. Dealing with pet sitters and walkers has been a nightmare for us so I never want another owner to have to go through the struggles we did. I only take on one pet at a time so they will get 100 percent of my attention.

About: I have over 4 years of pet-sitting experience, including caring for pets for the same family consistently throughout those years, as well as pet sitting for several other families! I also have two dogs of my own, an Australian Shepherd and a Dachshund, both of whom I’ve raised since they were puppies! I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs! Whether your dog is tiny or bigger than me, I’m comfortable and confident providing them with the love and attention they deserve. I also have experience with puppy training and helping younger dogs learn good habits! What sets me apart is how much I care about making both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I understand that every dog has their own personality, needs, and routine, and I do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Whether that means daily walks, sticking to feeding schedules, playtime, or morning cuddles, I’m happy to do it all! I have a very flexible schedule and am dedicated to providing dependable, loving care. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are happy, safe, and being treated just like my own! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine! I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to making sure your furry friends receive the love, attention, and care they deserve. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life! I’m used to daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and of course, lots of cuddles! Whether you need someone for a quick drop-in visit, daily walks, or overnight care, I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. My goal is to make pet care as stress-free and convenient as possible for both you and your pets! When caring for pets, my biggest priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine, so I always do my best to follow their owner’s instructions as closely as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to maintain their normal schedule, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any other special routines they may have. I know being away from their family can sometimes be stressful for pets, so I love giving them extra attention, reassurance, and cuddles whenever they want them! I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I treat every home with respect, keep things clean and organized, and provide regular updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your furry family members are doing well! Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, relaxing on the couch, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the personalized care they deserve. My goal is for your pets to feel just as happy and loved with me as they do when you’re home!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Old Somerset

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 802 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Old Somerset. 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Old Somerset. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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.

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.
