“Candi is amazing. We have a GSD who is on immunotherapy for his allergies. Candi diligently followed the medicine protocol. During our time away, Loki exhibited signs of ear infections and irritation. She was prompt to contact us. We guided her to get the medication which she was kind enough to administer and clean his ear (not an easy task to do with a gsd) She also took Loki out on walks where she was attentive to keep him disciplined consistent to his training preventing him from walking ahead of her and correcting his behavior in response to distractions. In all, she is the next person who will take care of your pup just as well as you. I have engaged her services multiple times and full stars to her each time”

About: I will treat your pets as if they are my own. I have been taking care of pets since I was 12. I’ve fostered puppies, watched neighbors pets, worked at an animal shelter, and have training skills. I have my own dog as well! An Australian shepherd who just turned a year old! I work mostly in the afternoons 1pm-6pm I’m available for walks later in the evening into late at night! I’m available early in the mornings as well! I’m currently in grad school, doing my internship, and working full time so I can do odd hours or work around schedules pretty well! I care for pets as if they’re my own. I understand wanting someone who will treat your pet with patience and care. They are your family and should be treated as such!

About: My daughter and I are absolute dog lovers. We love playing with animals and spending time with them. Our neighborhood is perfect for walks and play time. I work full time but have summers off. I am able to come home on breaks. I am a home body so I prefer to be home with the animals. I have a dog friendly doodle and an 8 year old who loves dogs. If we had it her way we would have ten. The next best thing would be caring for your fur babies while you need it!

About: I’ve been around pets since childhood - having 2 cats, hamsters, birds and fish. I am a dog mom to a 15 year old beagle and 12 year old pittie mix both of who I adopted when they were 3 years and the other 9 months old. I walked and was also a house visitor for neighbors dogs all throughout middle school. Wherever I was there was a high possibility I was hanging out with someone’s dog. I work a Monday to Friday position but would love to spend my off hours from the office position doing house check ins and or walks for your pets. I would be able to do house check ins for bathroom breaks-feeding-loving attention-playtime as well as bringing them on walks. I am able to handle big or small & high or low energy pets.

“We’ve had Sarah take care of our kitties many times now! She’s our ‘go to’ if she’s available. She takes great care of our cats and even our shy one has warmed to her. She also came through for us during an emergency earlier this year. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

About: I grew up in a creature-loving household-- no animal too big or too small to love! I grew up mainly around cats, at one point having six at once. My mother and her mother before her never met a cat they couldn't make purr, so I truly think it's in my blood. My heart doesn't stop at cats, though! Many neighborhood dogs relied on me for their walks when I was growing up. I can also administer medicine! I grew up with a cat who had asthma and another cat who regularly needed gabapentin. Not to get ahead of myself here, but I can also administer an inordinate amount of pets and snuggles if needed, so I would absolutley love to meet your pets. I am dedicated to caring for animals. I'm just getting started, but besides Wednesdays and Saturdays, I am free most days from 9 to 5. I'm also flexible and more than willing to work out other times if necessary (with enough notice). I believe in leashed dogs and indoor cats! (Unless closely monitored outside with an abundance of permission and training/experience). I have a keen eye for knowing what a cat is going to get into and putting/throwing it away before it happens. When walking pets, I limit interaction with other pets, people, cars, etc., just as an abundance of caution (unless requested otherwise). I have the basic toolbox for pet health and safety, but I am more than happy to work with any accommodations that might be necessary

About: Whether it’s a drop in for some love, attention, fresh air, or to do business I’ll be your dogs second best friend (after you and your family, of course). Or it’s a nice walk on a sunny day to stretch our legs and sniff the air, your furry friend is in good hands. With the right amount of treats, love, discipline, and boundaries your dog and I are bound to have a grand time together on our outing(s). I have a 65lb pit mix myself. Her name is Dottie and she is 8 years old. Together we have driven across the country, gone on long hikes, and learned how to social with other dogs. While she’ll stay at home during my visit with your dog, her scent will stick with me for an intriguing sniff-interrogation by your pup.

About: In my 30 years, I have always had at least one pet in my care. Growing up, I took care of dogs, goats, chickens, rabbits, degus and more. I have personal experience with "exotic" animals such as hamsters, rats, chinchillas, etc. I have a combined 7 years of experience with animal care in a professional setting, including work at a pet store, as an Animal Care technician for laboratory animals and as a receptionist and kennel/boarding assistant in a veterinary hospital. I am a true animal lover and I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy to care for your furry family. I am available several days a week for drop in visits for new and current clients. Drop ins include let outs, feedings, play time, medications, etc as needed. I am available for live in care to current clients only. There are days that I will not be able to be full time at your home.

About: I’m not just a dog sitter—I’m a partner in your dog’s happiness. With the experience of training and graduating three service dogs, I bring patience, compassion, and structure to every pup I care for. Your dog isn’t just another appointment on my calendar—they’re family, and I treat them that way. From walks to training to daily love, I help dogs feel safe, confident, and understood. Caring for dogs isn’t my side gig—it’s my full-time commitment. As a business owner, I have the freedom and flexibility to dedicate my days to providing top-quality care for dogs. That means your dog isn’t squeezed into a busy schedule—they get my full attention, patience, and time. This isn’t just a job, it’s my life’s passion, and it shows in the way I care for every pup as if they were my own.” Full-Time Care, Full-Time Love—Because Dogs Deserve More Than a Side Gig.” Every dog in my care gets more than the basics—they get a home. At my single-family house, dogs enjoy a safe, spacious fenced-in yard where they can run, play, and explore freely. Inside, they’re treated like part of the family, with comfort, structure, and plenty of attention. From walks and playtime to training reinforcement and quiet downtime, I tailor the experience to each dog’s personality and needs. Whether your pup loves fetch, belly rubs, or simply lounging in the sun, I make sure they feel secure, happy, and cared for—just like they would at home.”

About: I miss being around dogs! I gained a lot of experience with larger breeds after adopting my two high-energy puppies—a Labrador/Pit and an Australian Shepherd—about five years ago. I’ve also spent several years dog and cat sitting for friends and neighbors. A couple of my close friends needed someone to consistently walk and feed their dogs when they started full-time jobs, and I was happy to help thanks to my flexible work schedule. One of the dogs I cared for daily was a Cattle Dog with extremely high energy and strong working-dog instincts, which helped me build even more confidence in handling driven, active breeds. In addition to my dog experience, I worked at an adoptable cat café (which I miss dearly!) where I cared for cats with a variety of backgrounds and personalities. My own dogs are full of quirks and boundless energy, so I’ve become very familiar with different behaviors, temperaments, and activity levels. I’m extremely comfortable with all types of dogs—from shy and nervous to bold and snappy- and Im comfortable handling each dog where they are. Whether it’s helping an anxious pup feel safe or matching the energy of a high-drive dog on a fast-paced walk, I’m adaptable! Im currently working part-time, with days off during the week being fairly consistent. I am extremely flexible when it comes to location and times needed. I am capable of caring for pets in any type of home, and can be punctual with directions and requirements in another's home. In my home, I have a fenced-in small yard, no other pets, living in a street level unit of an apartment.

About: Dogs have been the heartbeat of my life for as long as I can remember. From my childhood pup who lived to be 17, to my first adult dog who gave me 16 years of unforgettable adventure, I have deep experience caring for canines at every stage of life—from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Currently, I’m the proud parent of two incredible doodles, Macchiato and Noisette. They are well-socialized daycare veterans who absolutely love welcoming new friends into our pack! After a rewarding 25-year career as a hairstylist, I am slowly pivoting to include my passion for detail and customer care toward pet care services. I can’t wait to treat your pups like family! With advanced notice, my schedule is incredibly flexible. When your pups are staying with me, their comfort and safety are my top priorities—I ensure they are never left alone for more than 4 to 5 hours at any time and provide tailored care to each dogs needs. To make things as convenient as possible for you, I also offer pickup and drop-off services. I proudly service the Aquidneck Island and East Bay communities, including Newport, Middletown, Portsmouth, Bristol, and Tiverton. Your pups will be treated exactly like members of my own family. I live on a spacious half-acre of fully fenced yard, offering plenty of room for your dogs to stretch their legs, zoom around, or just relax in the sun ( new PUP DECK coming soon). As a dedicated dog parent myself, I completely understand how tough it can be to leave your fur babies with someone else. That is why I am highly receptive to your specific routines, preferences, and instructions. I pride myself on being a clear communicator and highly dependable because I know that when it comes to your pets, trust is absolutely everything.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Somerset

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Somerset is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $47 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 5,742 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Somerset. 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 Somerset. On Rover:

  • 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
