About: UPDATE: I will be moving in January of 2027 and will no longer be available to board pets in my home. I will miss your furry family members dearly! I grew up with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, from yorkies to German shepards to Great Danes. I have kept my families dogs at my place while they are on vacation for at least a week. I have experience staying at the owners house to care for pets and also boarding pets in my own home. I’m an active person and a strength athlete, so if your pet is active and needs walks, we will both we getting in our steps together. Active by day, but definitely a couch potato by night! I’m a hybrid 9-5 employee and I work from home on Mondays and Fridays. Depending on my weekend availability, I can board pets in my home for one night or multiple night between Friday and Monday Agreeing to care for your pet means not only treating your pet with love and respect, but also understanding your needs and boundaries with your furry loved one. I will always ensure I understand instructions clearly to deliver the best service possible!
“Kaylee is the absolute best!! Booked her numerous times and the service is always top notch. I don’t have to worry when I’m away because I know she has everything covered. Highly recommend!! Thank you Kaylee!!”
“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.”
“What a pleasure it was meeting Katie and working with her. On a last minute booking she was easy to work with and took care of our furbaby as if Nugget was her own. I Highly suggest you book her! You won't regret it!”
About: I have been a dog owner for almost my whole life! I currently have a very friendly 9 year-old golden retriever who loves playing in our large open yard and exploring in the woods on our property. I live in a quiet suburban neighborhood which is the perfect place for dogs of any breed and size in terms of safety and walking routes. I've also had many years of experience dog-sitting for family and friends so I know what to expect! Our property is also very secluded and well-kept year round to provide your dog with the most comfortable and fun experience possible! Your dog will receive the care he or she deserves at all times while they are staying here! I look forward to looking after your dog!
About: Raised on a farm and a dog mom for 17 years, I’ve had animals at the center of my life since childhood. Caring for animals of all kinds is truly in my roots. I spent 13 years as a devoted dog mom to my late dachshund, Boston, and I now have a big, friendly rescue who has been by my side for 4 years. She’s a beautiful mix of Blue Tick Coonhound, American Foxhound, Lab, Bully, German Shepherd, and who knows what else, or as I like to call her, my Supermutt 🩷 Over the years, I’ve rescued dogs, cats, and other animals off the streets, and I’m constantly learning about animal health, behavior, and care so I’m prepared for any pet friend who comes into my home. Special skills: •Senior care: I’ve cared for two dogs into their senior years: my dachshund, Boston, and our family’s extra-large bully breed. I’m comfortable with older dogs, including slower walks, extra comfort, and medication schedules. I’m also comfortable administering injections if needed. •Anxious dogs and puppies: Boston was a very anxious pup, so I know how to help nervous dogs feel safe. I also have experience with puppies. •Training: I taught both of my dogs their basic commands, I’m currently taking a dog training course, and I plan to complete a pet CPR certification. •Dog-friendly home: My own dog is playful, loves to chill, and happily goes along with whatever her fur friends want. Availability: I’m available for drop-ins and walks in the evenings, and I can board low-maintenance dogs during the week since I work full time in an office Monday through Friday but I do take my own dog out in the mornings and again midday. My calendar on Rover will show is open Friday through Sunday and on holidays, but if you’re interested in weekday boarding, I’m happy to discuss it further. Friends, family, and neighbors have always turned to me when they need someone they can truly trust with their pets. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, with patience, attention, and genuine love. I’m present and engaged during my time at home, so your pet won’t just be waiting around they’ll be played with, walked, and genuinely cared for. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I have a partially fenced yard and a secure ground-anchored long lead for supervised outdoor time, so dogs can enjoy fresh air safely. I also live right next to a large park with trails, making it easy to get in enriching walks and outdoor adventures. My own dog Khaleesi is friendly and social with other dogs, so boarded pets will have a welcoming companion. I treat every animal in my care with the same love and attention I give my own, your pet will feel right at home.
“Jillian always takes such good care of our Peanut! She gives great updates and photos of our sweet girl when we are away and makes sure she is cared for, would recommend her highly to everyone!”
“We had such a great experience with Breyla as she took great care of our 3 pups! She was so communicative and sent us lots of great pics. We look forward to working with her in the future…thanks Breyla!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and I have trained my grandmas dog before and I took a vet tech class and learned about training dogs as well I am currently working part time at stop and shop but I always have one or two days off and am free to spend overnights at your home:) I have a fenced in backyard and lots of toys in my backyard and have two wonderful fur babies of my own in my home their names are Lola and Harry
“Tania was the best!!! She stayed in constant communication and sent so many pictures of Stevie! Every time I checked the camera after Tania left, Stevie looked so happy and content! Highly recommend”
About: I have taken care of multiple animals, from dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and even birds! I have always loved animals, there is nothing better than loving on an animal. I had fish and hamsters growing up. I have taken care of so many cats for multiple people and walked a ton of dogs for neighbors. I am so comfortable with giving animals medicine, even when they are not thrilled about it. I would love to love on your animals while you are away, have fun with them and make you and your pets feel secure while you are away from each other! I work full time at Baystate Medical Center. Full time for Baystate is only 3 days out of the week so I can be with your pet most of the time, I do work overnight, so I can take, let’s say your dog, out for a walk and feed them and all that good stuff before I work and be back first thing in the morning for when they wake up! Whatever you and your pet is comfortable with I can do. The last thing I would want is for you or them to feel uneasy or uncomfortable so whatever routine they are used to and like is exactly what I will do!
“I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our cat received from Erin! Erin responded right away to my last minute booking. She went above and beyond to make sure our cat was well-fed, entertained, and comfortable. I really appreciated the updates and photos that kept me connected to Gio, and it was clear she was happy and relaxed. Highly recommend Erin!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Somers
Austin did an outstanding job taking care of my three cats while I was away, and I couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter. He made sure each of them received the individual care they needed, paying close attention to their unique personalities and special needs. I especially appreciated the regular photo updates, which gave me peace of mind and let me see that they were happy and well cared for. It was clear that Austin genuinely cared about my cats and treated them as if they were his own. I would absolutely hire him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter.
Sammy watched my dog Brody for a week. She showed up each day on-time and provided pictures and texts. I really felt like she did a good job with him as he can be difficult to warm up to people when we aren’t there. I would definitely recommend her and use her again!
This is our second time using Austin. He is always promt and on time for his visits. We never have to second guess if he will be there. Very respectful and responsible. He also sends out his daily report immediately after every visit. Keeps us informed and updated. We have found our sitter.
Austin did a fantastic job taking care of our pups when we were away. He sent videos and had an update everytime he took care of them. He followed the dogs schedule and made sure they followed commands before being rewarded. We will definitely use Austin again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Somers is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $38 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 November 2026, there are 2,008 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Somers. 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 Somers. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
