“Karinna is awesome! She did an excellent job looking after my cat on short notice, and I'm looking forward to being able to use her services again. Thank You Karinna!”

About: I’ve taken care of my neighbors and friends dogs when they’re on vacation for many years. I also have an 8 year old schnauzer at home as well. I have fed, walked, bathed dogs and anything else they need. I am currently home for the summer and work a part time job where it leaves me open and available most days to drop in and take your furry friends for walks. At this time I don’t watch dogs in my home. I can do drop ins, walks or overnight stays at their residence for the time being
About: Dogs are my full-time career and lifelong passion. I specialize in creating low-stress, individualized care using Fear Free and positive reinforcement methods, with a special interest in fearful, reactive, and special-needs dogs. My experience includes: * Fear Free Boarding & Daycare: 6-hour course and exam covering canine body language, facility design, safe dog interactions and play, positive reinforcement training, behavior, physical health and wellness, and medication administration to minimize fear, anxiety, and stress. * Victoria Stilwell Academy Dog Training Fundamentals graduate (positive reinforcement). * American Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR Certified. * 3+ years volunteering with Dakin Humane Society, specializing in fearful, reactive, and behaviorally complex dogs. * Assisting with positive reinforcement group classes at Tails U Win. * 5 Years of fostering rescue dogs. * Experienced in training, enrichment, behavior modification, wellness monitoring, and medication administration, including oral medications and injections. * Specialized experience working with deaf dogs using visual communication and American Sign Language (ASL). I also share my life with a deaf, reactive special-needs dog who has earned her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title and participates in agility, Fast CAT, Happy Ratters, and other dog sports. * Licensed wildlife rehabilitator, providing medical care and rehabilitation for injured and orphaned wildlife. * Dedicated to caring for one family at a time, allowing every dog to receive individualized attention in a calm, low-stress environment. Pet care is my full-time profession, so my schedule revolves entirely around the dogs in my care. I typically care for only one family at a time, allowing me to provide personalized routines, enrichment, exercise, and constant supervision. I want every dog to feel at home, so I do not use kennels, pens, or crates unless you request it or it's necessary for your dog's safety. I also sleep in the dog care building overnight, so your dog can receive companionship and attentive care 24/7. Your dog's safety, comfort, and emotional well-being are my highest priorities. Because of this, I care for one family's dog(s) at a time, unless otherwise discussed, which allows for us to create a calm, low-stress environment without unfamiliar dogs. Dogs stay with me in a dedicated, professionally designed, climate-controlled dog care building with heating, air conditioning, and continuous Wi-Fi and cellular temperature monitoring. Outside, they enjoy a fully fenced 2-acre yard with secure 5-foot fencing, dog-safe vegetation for natural enrichment, shaded rest areas, play structures, agility equipment, and supervised swimming in a 700-gallon chemical-free dog pool (owner approval needed). Every stay includes individualized enrichment, toys, and treats tailored to your dog's preferences, routine, and any dietary needs, allergies, or sensitivities.
“Ruby had another great span of days hanging with Hannah. Ruby and her cat siblings thought they were on vacation too and ransacked some treats. Hannah moved a chair to block them from further indulging and this helped us come home to less of a mess and having to deal with upset pet tummies.”
“I had Molly come to the house a few times during this past week and Molly was wonderful with Benny, she arrived on time, follow my directions with Benny, left me detailed messages about the visits. I had a weird schedule and she was able to accommodate us. We really appreciate it! And I also got lots of pictures, This was my first time using Rover we’re grateful for Molly, I will definitely have her services again.”

“Rachael was great with Cali. She communicated incredibly well with me prior to, during, and after her visit with my puppy. I would absolutely use her services again and highly recommend her”
About: I cared for a Maltese as part of my daily routine for over two years. Since I worked from home during the day, I was primarily responsible for his daytime care, including walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, fresh water, and making sure he received plenty of attention. He has since moved back to China, and I truly miss having a dog around every day. That’s one of the reasons I joined Rover—I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and would love the opportunity to care for yours. Whether it’s a walk, a potty break, or simply keeping them company, I’ll treat every dog with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I always provided. I have a flexible work schedule, so I’m available for daytime dog walks, potty breaks, and drop-in visits in addition to evenings and weekends. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break or a longer walk, I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, attentive care. As a former Maltese owner, I understand that every pet is a beloved family member. I know how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, and treat them with the same love and patience I gave my own dog. I’ll also provide photo updates after every visit so you always know how they’re doing.
“Kage was great with Stella and Luna. Each drop in he gave a detailed description of everything along with photos. He had good base knowledge of cat behavior which made us feel comfortable right away. 10/10 recommend!”
“Lesa was great with my fur baby! We had a meet & greet and my dog took to her right away. This was our 1st time leaving our dog alone overnight & we were nervous. Lesa was great communicating with us & keeping us up to date with how she was doing & sending us pics. We will definitely have her look after our fur baby again!”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Somers 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.
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 Somers 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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 Somers with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
