“This was the first time we used a Pet Sitter for our 21 month old Golden Retriever for a lengthy vacation trip and I was very nervous that I would not find the right person. The minute I talked with Sherri, I knew she was the one I would want to take care of our Fur baby. This is Sherri's full-time profession, one that she puts her whole heart into. Not only is she professional, she possesses a lot of knowledge which I learn from her experience. Sherri puts the interests of the pet first and I love knowing she bonds with our pet Remy. They shared many adventures while we were gone plus she aids in furthering his training. We loved seeing the pictures she sent and reading the pet nanny reports. All that mattered to me was that Remy had a full-time, loving companion so it would not traumatize him with us being gone. Sherri stepped in and became one of the family, with Remy having a fun vacation as well with a new friend who loved him and showered him with attention. She was also a wonderful house sitter and everything was immaculate, looking undisturbed upon our return. I so appreciated everything Sherri did for Remy in our absence and future trip planning will be a breeze knowing I have Remy's needs taken care of under Sherri's high standards and quality care.”
“Madison did a wonderful job watching our two dogs and our house while we were on vacation for a week. Dogs were happy and healthy when we got home and the house looked just as we had left it. She was great about keeping in touch and sending pictures too. We would definitely hire her to watch over our pets again.”
About: About Me Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I lost my beloved dog a year ago, and while I’m not ready to bring another dog into my family yet, I deeply miss having a four-legged companion beside me on my walks and hikes. I already spend a lot of time outside walking and hiking around the Flathead Valley — so I’d love to bring your dog along. I’m a mom, longtime dog owner and animal lover, and I understand that every dog is different. Some dogs need a relaxed sniff-around-the-neighborhood walk. Others need to MOVE. I’m happy doing both. My goal isn’t simply to get your dog outside long enough to check a box. I want them to come home happy, exercised and ready for a very good nap. 🐾 30-Minute Neighborhood Walk — $20 Perfect for a midday break, potty time, fresh air and exercise. We’ll spend the appointment walking in your neighborhood or another appropriate area close to home, with plenty of time to sniff, explore and stretch those legs. I’ll send you an update and photos so you know exactly how your dog did. 🥾 60-Minute Adventure Walk — $38 For dogs who need more than a trip around the block. Depending on your location, your dog’s temperament and fitness, weather and trail conditions, our hour may include a neighborhood power walk or transportation to a nearby dog-friendly trail for a mini hiking adventure. If you live close to places like Lone Pine or another suitable trail, I’m happy to spend part of our hour getting your dog somewhere genuinely fun to explore. Transportation during an Adventure Walk is included within the booked 60 minutes when we agree on a nearby destination in advance. This is especially great for active dogs who need real physical and mental stimulation. My Service Area I intentionally keep my service area relatively small so I’m spending my time with your dog rather than driving all over the valley. If you’re roughly within a 15-minute drive of me, you’re probably within my regular service area. What You Can Expect Your dog’s safety comes first. Before our first walk, I want to know about your dog’s personality, leash behavior, recall, triggers, medical needs, favorite things and anything else that helps me understand them. For trail adventures, I’ll also make sure we’re a good match before heading out together. And yes — expect pictures. ❤️ I know what it’s like to love a dog like a member of your family. When your dog is with me, I’ll treat them that way. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks, longer adventure walks, and cat drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m already an active walker and hiker, so getting outside with dogs fits naturally into my routine. I intentionally keep my service area fairly small so I can spend more time caring for your pets and less time driving. I’m available for both regular weekly clients and occasional care when you’re traveling or simply need an extra hand. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. For dog walks, I’ll learn about your dog’s leash behavior, temperament, triggers, energy level and any medical or behavioral needs before we head out. For longer Adventure Walks, we can discuss whether your dog is a good fit for a nearby dog-friendly trail and agree on the outing beforehand. I’ll always keep dogs securely leashed unless we have specifically discussed otherwise. For cats and other in-home visits, I carefully follow your feeding, medication, litter and household instructions and make sure doors and windows are secure before I leave. I understand that some pets want lots of attention while others need space and patience, so I let each animal set the pace. Whether I’m taking your dog for a neighborhood walk, heading out for a trail adventure, or spending time with your cat at home, I’ll treat your pet like I would my own and send you photos and updates so you know exactly how they’re doing.
“Oh gosh where to start! She was amazing. Definitely wore the boys out which they LOVED. She even left the boys some toys and treats. Would definitely use Pricilla again!”
About: Ive had a pet my entire life. I grew up taking care of dogs and cats and love them both very much! I know how much care and reassurance I would need trusting a stranger with my pet, so I hope to provide that in anyway possible. My work schedule is generally 8am - 5pm Sunday through Wednesday. I’d be happy to chat about what your pet might need, and how I can accommodate that. I take care of pets the way I’d want someone to take care of my pet. I think it’s important to spend quality time with them and be attentive to their needs always.
“Our two pups liked Kimberly from the moment she walked thru the front door. We felt very comfortable having her at our home. When we returned the dogs were happy and our home was spotless. Very pleased”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 147 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.
