“Michelle was prompt, kept in touch every day while we were away, and took great care of Cotton and Maizey, including making sure Cotton got all her meds every day. She was flexible when our plans had to change at the start of our trip. This was our first time using a dog sitter who stayed at our house, and Michelle made us feel really comfortable. We’ve just arrived home to two happy and healthy pups. Thanks Michelle!”
“Samantha was great! We will definitely have her back. She cared so much for our doggie, sent regular updates, and asked important questions. She took care of our home as well by watering my flowers and keeping it spotless for when we returned. She was very accommodating when we had a family emergency and cancelled one of the pets that she was supposed to watch. I was overall very impressed!”
“She was very responsive and caring for our cats. She sent pictures and the cats seemed to like her. We also had a situation happen and she acted appropriately and professionally. Thanks Paige!”
“This was the first time using Rover. I could not be more pleased with the individual we picked when we chose Josh!!! He was readily available. He kept in great communication with us throughout the entire process from booking to his departure after watching our pups. He cleaned up and left house clean and tidy. Even kept the pups safe during a tornado warning. Cannot wait to book again with Josh!”
About: I’ve been around pets my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. There was already a cat in my home before I was born, so I’ve had animals since day 1! My family got our dog when I was 10, and I’ve helped care for her ever since, including feeding, walking, playing with her, and general daily care. I’ve also cared for pets belonging to friends and neighbors. In addition, I have cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with the care, attention, and patience they need. I truly enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. I can often accept same-day requests depending on availability, so please feel free to reach out! I provide attentive, loving care and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with walks, playtime, litter box cleanup, and general pet care. I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs.
“Heidi was truly amazing… She really took great care of my little guy while he was in recovery after an unexpected surgery. She kept me in the loop on everything that was happening and really helped keep my mind at ease when I was unable to be there. Very grateful to have found her, and will definitely use again in the future.”

I have college classes and get done by 2 so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I also come home to a little dog everyday that my roommate has so I’m used to seeing pets around me!

About: Have administered specialized medicine to senior animals for ongoing diseases such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. Was very diligent nursing my senior kitty before he passed. I work and go to school so my schedule varies but I always have some nights and mornings free each week that I would love to use on animals. Constant Care policy: if you are needing constant care that would require me to not leave for more than 4 hours, please book atleast 2 weeks ahead of whatever dates you need so I can accommodate that. I would also need to adjust my rate to reflect the lost income. I understand and respect animals boundaries and try my best not to encroach them. I've also mastered the "foot as barrier" approach when opening doors.

About: I have had animals my whole life, mostly dogs. I recently was able to get my own dog for the first time as an adult. To say I spoil Burt is an understatement. We go on great adventures to the dog park, hikes and out to dog friendly restaurants. I am completely obsessed with all fur babies and will take care of yours like it was mine. Very safety orientated. I am a flight attendant currently working part time, so when I am home... I am home with lots of free time. I have recently reduced my schedule because the skies are not so friendly at the moment. I would like to supplement my income with helping others and their fur babies. I have a smaller condo which might not be condusive for larger dogs, but if they come over here we always get out for walks and dog park time.
About: I’m the most patient person when it comes to animals! I have two dogs of my own, Luna my Pug & Chopper my German Shepherd/Husky! I also have a bunny, Twix.

I have a fenced yard as well as two super sweet babies to keep your pup company! I also have many toys and activities to do with the dogs.
“I truly cannot say enough good things about Karie and the attention and care she gave our furbabies. I have never been comfortable leaving our dogs with anyone (they can be a handful) I had daily updates with pictures and knew our dogs were being carried for. I never worried about them during the 6 days we were gone. I would highly, highly recommend Karie to anyone!”

“Sarah was great with my two dogs. I received several pictures of the dogs and daily updates from Sarah. My two dogs, can be somewhat of a challenge to walk around my apartment community with how many other dogs and people there are and Sarah did a great job handling them.

About: My family used to own 7 dogs when I was a preteen! 6 were chihuahuas and one was a pit bull, so I feel comfortable with any dog size. I would feed, walk, wash, and play with them. Now, I help my friends with their dogs whenever it’s needed. I know when they need space and when they want to be playful. I have a lots of energy, so I can ply with your pup for a long time! I’m a full-time student and work part-time for two days a week, but it only takes up in the morning. On any day of the week, I am available at any time after 4pm, and before 11am except on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. I’m always observing, partially because of admiration, but also watching out for any signs of discomfort. I can recognize when they need space, are uncomfortable, anxious, or threatened. I’m cautious when it comes to interactions while walking and will walk across the other side of the street from another dog for precaution.

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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!

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 .
