“Sammy stayed at our home with our Frenchies for 2 nights. Our little ones usually suffer from a fair amount of anxiety, but they felt very comfortable with her. When we got home the house was just as we left it and the dogs were very content. Sammy communicated regularly while we were away and that allowed us to really enjoy our weekend. She is very competent, conscientious and excellent with the dogs. We will definitely contact her next time and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best in a dog sitter.”
“Molly did a great job watching Maggie and Gracie and was flexible when our flight got delayed due to weather. Would recommend Molly for overnights. She is gentle with dogs and they get to know her they are looking for pets constantly!”
“Jonathan did an exceptional job dog-sitting and house-sitting for us for a full week. He was incredibly conscientious and highly communicative, sending regular updates and adorable pictures. Our dog absolutely adored him, and Jonathan took such great care of our home that we barely noticed he was there—yet we returned to a spotless house. We highly recommend him without hesitation.”
“Ayana was professional, accommodating, and did amazing with our two (anxious) dogs! Our house was left clean and tidy and our dogs were very well cared for. Will absolutely recommend and book again!”
About: I have experience with high-drive breed puppies, elderly couch potato pups, and everything in between. I provide undivided attention and care to your animals. Whether it be a walk, a drop-in, or a visit to keep them company, I care for them like I would my own. I work full time, typically 3-11pm with flexible days off. I am completely available every day before 2pm and have flexibility in the evening hours if coordinated in advance. I am available for multiple visits a day even on days I work. What better way to spend the day than taking your pup for a walk or keeping your cat company? I'd love to! I am happy to care for your pet in their home where they're most comfortable. I work as a police officer and deeply value integrity and security. I do have an older pitbull and a shepherd puppy at home should your dog want a play date!
“Rebecca has taken care of our pups in our home twice now and we definitely will be booking again. She goes above and beyond to care for our dogs and we leave knowing the dogs will have a safe, fun, and adventurous time. Rebecca has also been very communicative and flexible, which we greatly appreciate. She’s an awesome sitter!”
“Erin was so great with Banner. She made sure to get him out for a walk or an adventure each day - something no other sitter has done. My boy is very high energy so he needs that stimulation she was able to provide! She updated me with pictures and texts each day which made me feel confident that Banner was in good hands. Thank you Erin for a great first stay with Banner!”
“Sarah is a phenomenal dog sitter. My anxious dogs bonded with her immediately so I felt very comfortable leaving for my trip. She texted multiple updates a day, including pictures. I will definitely book with her again!”

About: Although I have less experience in dog care in comparison to taking care of cats, I live an active lifestyle and am fully capable of going on walks with any dog’s typical walk regime. As a student who’s home for the summer, I have a flexible schedule I dedicate to spending time with my or any of my friends’ pets. I care for pets by referring to the owners and following any procedures based on the pet’s needs. I’m capable of basic maintenance and problem solving.
“Sarah is a fantastic sitter. She was incredibly communicative from scheduling the meet and greet to checking in and sending updates and pictures. My dog and my cat got lots of love and attention and she left my apartment clean. I would highly recommend her.”
“Georgiana was incredible! She stayed with my pups for 3 days and 2 nights and they loved her so much they were bummed when I came home! I would hire her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have always had a pet dog and ever since I was a teenager, I’d dog-sit for family and neighbors. Since college, I’ve been pet-sitting ajd dog walking on a more professional level. I’ve babysat for a few hours, simply for a walk, but have also watched multiple high energy dogs for up to two weeks. I’ve cared for dogs under a year old and up to 13 years old. I’ve always loved dogs and find them very easy to get along with and care for no matter their size, age, or personality. I have also cared for kittens a few weeks old, senior cats, administering medication orally, grooming them if they have long hair etc. Cats have a very different energy than dogs but I enjoy taking care of them just as much as dogs. I am currently in between jobs so I have a lot of free time to care for other dogs, whether it is a short walk or a multi-hour play date, etc. I always follow whatever guidance I am provided by pet parents. This means if you are only comfortable with your dog on a leash or lead while in your yard, I strictly follow that. If there are specific commands to use, certain behavior to watch out for or discourage, particular toys or activities they enjoy, I always follow what information I am given and am always open and communicate well about any issues or concerns that might arise on my end.
About: I am a former veterinary technician with many years experience with all types of pups and kitties! I have a love and passion for working with animals, my first job was working on a farm. I love learning about different breeds and behaviors and pride myself in understanding animal behavior. I have worked with all breeds of dogs and all types of behaviors from aggressive to timid to scared and anxious. I hope to meet many new pups and build lasting relationships while helping with you and your pups needs for years to come! I am available most times to care for your pets. Work during the day until only 1:30pm and then home the rest of the day! I am available to provide feeding, watering, insulin injections, any type of pills that are needed for cats or dogs. Own a condo now so only taking small/medium pups and kitties, until I get my house. There is plenty of room to play and go for walks and exercise!
“Yareisy was great!! She house sat my two cats for a long weekend and I would definitely book her again. She made sure to take pictures of everything, including cleaned litter boxes, tons of photos of my cats, and where she left the key at the end of the trip. I highly suggest booking her, your fur babies will be well taken care of!😊😊”
“Matt has taken such good care of Max. This pi particular visit he went above and beyond to protect him from am off-leash aggressive dog. So grateful for his dedication to Max’s well-being.”
About: I’ve taken care of various animals since I was young. Friends and family depended on me to feed, walk, and take care of their pets. I know the importance of pet care and how to have close and fun relationships with all animals, especially cats and dogs! I’m an animal lover at heart and grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, and various farm animals. I am extremely patient with animals and making sure they are taken care of, nurtured, and treated well are my top priorities as well as having fun with them! Pet care fits into my daily routine very easily! I currently take care of two cats at home and have grown up around animals so I am comfortable around them ! I am fairly available and my schedule is the following: Monday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Tuesday : 9 am - 10/11 pm Wednesday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Thursday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Friday : 9 am - 10/11 pm Saturday: 9 am - 10/11 pm Sunday : 9 am - 10/11 pm I live in a very safe area where there are many parks and fields of land surrounding it making it a prime location to have animals. I have no problem walking great distances and being patient with animals especially dogs when it comes to bathroom time. I always have a great time with very lovable, friendly, and energetic dogs and cats and enjoy spending time with them and making sure they are happy and having fun! I can always give them treats, play with them and encourage them to play with their toys, and stay with them for as long as needed! Moreover bonding with them is a process that is individual to every animal, it is not something I can rush and I will take the time to get to know every pet. If anything were to happen during my time with them I will always be available to connect with!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Somers
Sammy watched our 2 dogs, 2 bunnies, 2 fish, and entire house while we were on a weeklong family trip. She was amazing! The animals, who’ve previously had anxiety after being boarded, were happy and healthy upon our return. It was like we’d been home the whole time! The house and yard were also well taken care of. We appreciate having someone we can trust!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Somers is $67 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $43 and $90 per night.

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 1,200 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Somers. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Somers walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Somers maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
