About: Hey! My name is Marina. I am a fur mom to a 9 year old yorkie named Knox! I am used to dogs of all energy! I’ve had many different dog breeds as pets over the years (pit bulls, cocker spaniels, daschunds, poodles, & yorkie.) I am very caring, nurturing & loving. Owning a dog myself, I know how your pet needs & should be treated! I am very open in regards of communicating your needs & wants as well as scheduling. I have set weekend availability as well weekday availability should be discussed as I am employed full time. I typically update my calendar weekly. However, please message me to confirm whether I’m available! Do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or inquiries! I look forward to meeting your awesome dog & spending time with them! Talk to you soon. Open weekend availability. Weekday availability will vary as I am employed full time but can be discussed. I am flexible so please reach out with any requests or concerns. I live in an apartment and do not have a yard but I do have a nice walking area in my complex to take your dog out for a nice walk. I also live nears parks and dog parks so it’s something we can do as well! The care of your dog will vary on their needs but totally adaptable on my end!
“Robin took wonderful care of our cat! She sent plenty of photos, stayed long for each visit, and helped with a few household tasks we requested. You can tell she truly loves cats—she even offered to clip our cat’s nails! We really appreciated her extra care and would happily book her again.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover with 20 years of experience handling dogs of many breeds and sizes, with a specialty in small dogs. I understand that leaving your furry family member behind can be stressful, so my #1 priority is providing a safe, structured, and fun environment while you are away. I am trained in canine first aid, experienced with high-energy small breeds, and skilled at administering medications. I treat every dog as if they were my own, sticking to their regular feeding and walking schedules to keep them happy and reduce anxiety. I am extremely communicative and will send you detailed daily updates with plenty of photos so you can enjoy your time away worry-free. My daily routine is incredibly flexible and built around your pet's needs. Whether I'm staying overnight at your house or just doing daily drop-ins, I offer early morning, midday, and evening visits with ease. For extended stays, I simply bring my laptop and work remotely from your home. This means your pets get constant companionship, plenty of potty breaks, and your house stays occupied for as long as you need me there. I know what it's like to lose a pet, so safety will always be my number one priority. Trust and security go hand-in-hand with my remote work lifestyle. Since I'll be in your home for extended periods, I can actively keep an eye on both your property and your pets. I take my responsibility seriously: I'll bring in your mail and packages, water your plants, and clean up after your pets daily. I am meticulous about locking doors and windows behind me. I will closely monitor your pets for any subtle signs of stress, discomfort, or illness. I always aim to leave your home exactly as clean, if not cleaner, than I found it.
“Dee was great! Took a last minute job from me and took great care of my dog while I was away for the day. I will definitely be calling her again! She’s a great, reliable, trustworthy dog walker!!”
“Peter is an excellent sitter! He take amazing care of my dogs with special needs (medication and reactivity) and they love when he comes over. Peter is responsible, communicative, and genuine in his love for animals.”
About: Hi there, dogs are my second nature and I'm super excited to become best friends with your furry companion! I work with all kinds of dogs that rotate on a daily basis, from Yorkies to Pitbulls! I currently work full time between the hours of 11am-7pm daily with the exception of Thursday, which on Thursdays I'm available all the whole day! I for one treat each dog in my custody as my own, which means they get lots of pets and words of encouragement. All that together, we will follow your instructions for handling and treat giving, and I only use the best leashes and harnesses. We will only explore areas discussed and agreed upon as well.
About: **Back from a pregnancy hiatus! Kids are now in school and I’m back at it with a passion for walking and for animals!** I’m happy to take your furry family member on as many walks as you would like! We can also play or get lots of belly rubs in a drop-in, whatever lifestyle your pet is into, I’ll take note and adapt. Personally, I’m very active so if you want to tire your dog out, I’m your go-to dog walker! I love running with dogs so for the high-energy furballs, we could do about a 3 mile run. I get along really well with animals in general, and haven't met a dog I haven’t loved. I’ll humbly say, I think they feel the same way :D I’m currently only providing dog walks and drop-ins, but I’m extremely reliable and punctual, and my schedule is very flexible at the moment so don’t hesitate to reach out even if your request is last-minute! Thanks! My kids are in school from 8:10-2:45, so I am 100% free and at your disposal during that time, from Monday-Friday. I could definitely fit in a weekend emergency as well! I follow individual instructions from pet owners regarding what their pet needs in a drop-in. I will meet each pet at their energy level and give as much love as I can while at it.
About: I’ve take care of animals since I adopted my cat in 2006. Since then, I adopted my first dog (Maltipoo) in 2008, a rabbit in 2014, a second dog (Belgian Malinois) in 2018, and a third dog (Golden Retriever Mix) in 2023. I am looking to make a little pocket money during medical school. My availability is entirely subjective to my school’s schedule so I’m often only available weekends. My dogs are crate trained and leash trained so I have the most experience with that. I am more than willing to be flexible and learn your pet’s routine.
“Thank you for loving our energetic dog while we were away!!! Lindsey was amazing and Bruno was so well taken care of. She sent lots of updates, pictures and videos! 🐶”
“Justin was truly great! My dogs are senior dogs and require a lot of special attention, but he never missed a beat. He sent me plenty of photos and detailed updates about what happened during each visit. It was a relief to know my dogs were being well taken care of. I plan to use Justin again!”
About: I can’t remember a time I didn’t have a pet of some sort under my care! From dogs, to birds, to fish, to frogs, I’ve really done it all! While I don’t have a furry friend of my own yet in vet school, I would love to take yours in and treat them like my own. I’ve already dedicated my life to the wellbeing of animals—why not include yours in that too! I’m currently a veterinary student so my schedule is a bit dynamic! I’m free 24/7 over the summer, but starting in September my schedule becomes a bit more dynamic. Feel free to reach out and see if our availabilities are a match! I live in a residential area with sidewalks (and a park!) perfect for daily walks, and I even have a fenced-in yard for extra play time. No other furry friends currently—so all of my attention will be on your baby!
About: Growing up I had a lot of animals all around. Turtles/tortoise, frogs, bearded dragons, chickens, geckos, and a dog. I love taking my dog on walks or to the park as well as family or friends dog that needed a sitter. I’m currently on summer break from college. I will have plenty of time to take care of your dog! I will be available seven days a week. I will always love your pet like I love my own. I’ll always keep an eye on your dog at all times. Your dog will always be cared for and in safe hands.
About: I am a former playroom attendant at Dogtopia Doggy Daycare. I’ve cared for cats for 20+ years. I’ve cared for dogs for 18 years. I have minimal experience with training animals and some experience administering medication to pets. I am available to take dogs on walks or to dog parks. I am also available for pop-in visits. I am currently on summer break so I have plenty of free time to care for your furry loved ones. I am available day and night to care for your animal. I can come into the home and provide care if needed. I have a fur child of my own that is very sociable and can come play with your pup.
About: Hi I had a dog for 16 years I like playing with dogs and taking them for long runs If necessary I will feed your dog and take care of a bowl full of water If I need to keep him away from other dogs or vice versa let him hang out in the park and enjoy it I'll do it I will listen to everything you have to say about what your dog needs because I think that is the most important thing Because for example my dog is allergic to a certain food so as much as I want my dog to be okay I will protect your dog the same way Finally I would be happy if you would contact me at your convenience

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Somerdale
Jaqueline was awesome ! At short notice she was able to schedule a meet and greet the day before she came to check on our dog while we travelled she played with him took him out back to pee and poop fed him filled his water bowl and sent us a photo that showed him happy with his new friend enjoying a treat ! 😂 she was great and we will definitely be in touch with her in the future and we highly recommend her!
We hired Brynn to come into our home to feed and walk our older dog when we went away overnight. She did an excellent job and sent us texts and photos each time. Our pup was in good spirits when we returned. I would definitely have her come again and recommend her highly.
Nicole is an absolute pleasure to care for my German Shepherd Dog. She’s prompt, thoughtful, very down to earth, and my 2 year old GSD absolutely loves her. Best of all, she handles him extremely well and with care! Couldn’t be happier to have Nicole drop in and care for my (very energetic) Shepherd.
Sarah was amazing with our three pups, one of those with special needs. She cared for them like they were her own while we were away and coming home to a clean home with happy pups was beyond measure. Sarah kept us updated throughout our time away with photos from her visits- which we really appreciated! Highly recommend Sarah if you are in search for dog care in your home!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Somerdale is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $44 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 8,439 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Somerdale. 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.
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 Somerdale 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!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Somerdale with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
