About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.
“Cynthia was amazing! She was prompt in taking our dog for a walk everyday while we were away. Cynthia sent pics of our dog each time and kept in touch with us, which was reassuring. We would highly recommend Cynthia and would definitely use her next time.”
“Justin was wonderful! He sent check-in each time he walked and fed our dog Juni, and he clearly enjoyed spending time with her. We were happy to know he’s walked a few of our neighbors’ dogs too, so he was very comfortable with the neighborhood. I will definitely be hiring him again!”
“Hired for two walks, 30 min each. The first was fine. The second she came and went in 16 minutes and said she “made it a quick one because she had walked my dog earlier.” Huh? Not sure what that was about….”
About: I grew up in a household with rabbits, cats, and dogs. I let them sense my energy and know that I'm a safe person. I will also do pet portraits for an extra fee if interested. I'm taking a few months off work so my schedule is wide open. I'm also earning an MSW but class is remote so even on days when I have school pet sitting isn't a problem, I live alone in a one bedroom apartment so have privacy and a fair amount of space. When coming to a client's home I will respect the instructions I was given.
“Can’t recommend Madeline enough. She helped us out with regular weekly walks for my dog. She was always timely and easy to communicate with. She was very attentive to my dog’s needs. He would literally yelp for joy when she arrived he was so excited to see her. I would recommend Madeline in a heartbeat!”
About: I have taken care of various types of dogs (and many other species of animals) and have administered medications. I am a conscientious pet provider, keeping in mind the differences in personality of each pet and the approach required to earn their trust. I am always on time, and take extra steps to ensure your pet is very well cared for, and that your pet and home are secured properly when I leave. I've been around animals all my life and am an active member of the neighborhood cat coalition to assist with trap, neuter, and release (TNR) the local cat population. My patient style when approaching an animal has helped safely trap and neuter several cats in our neighborhood. Additionally, my children grew up raising animals with the 4H community - cows, pigs, sheep, chickens, so I've been involved in all aspects of animals' care and safety. I am seeking a career change and my love of animals led me to explore pet sitting and boarding. I am trustworthy and reliable, and understand the need for quality pet care. I have a fully fenced back yard that is fantastic for dogs. I have a cat who is my pet service ambassador! A truly cool cat who gets along with all animals.
About: Hi I’m Rainy! My family and I have two dogs Skip and Snow. Skip was 15 years old when she passed away and Snow is a 10-year-old gentle lady. Growing up with them has been the best thing ever for me as a child. I also dog sit for my friends and family since I was little. I enjoy being around them! I work as a full-time nurse, doing three 12-hour shift per week. My schedule depends on the staffing, working weekdays mostly with rotating weekends. But I do have 4 days off per week to be flexible. I adapt fast in different environments and can accommodate the needs of your dogs. I have experience in taking care of puppies and senior dogs, which I understand the difference in energy and needs.
“Jesica took the time to meet and get to know our dog Otter before taking him out on his walk. Jesica is prompt and communicative! Otter loves his walks with Jesica. Would recommend her to anyone!”
About: Hi my name is Destin and I’m a working professional based out of Orange County NY. Unfortunately I’m not boarding due to owning a cat myself. However, I’m always open to other opportunities! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! I always make time to care for any pet! I’ll move things around to prioritize. My daily and weekly routines are very similar with little to no changes. Unfortunately I’ve halted boarding due to owning a cat myself. However, I’m always open to other opportunities! Regardless of where I care for pets, they’re always safe, secure and will have fun!
“Chiara was great with my puppy. She responded to a somewhat last minute request and came for a meet and greet, which went quite well. She showed up on time for all of our appointments, and the puppy seemed very satisfied when I saw her next! Would definitely hire her again.”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs, and now I’m the designated ‘dog sitter on call’ for all my family and friends, basically the fun uncle for every pup I meet. I’m available pretty much every weekend, most holidays, and even some weekdays and I live in a pet-friendly building surrounded by green areas perfect for playtime. I live in a pet-friendly building surrounded by green areas perfect for playtime and lots spaces for pups to explore and have fun outdoor time
“Katie did a great job walking our dog. She was punctual. Communication was terrific. Most importantly , our dog was comfortable with her and had a really good walk. I would use her again.”
About: Trusted by friends and family, now ready to care your furry one too! I have been doing dog walking and sitting regularly for over a year now. Also, I have taken care of friends and families pets and grew up in an animal friendly family. Had a cat growing up and family members have dogs who I provided care for when needed. I currently have availability so have plenty of time. Pet care fits perfectly in my weekly schedule and am have been doing it regularly for over a year now. I provide a caring environment that makes your pets feel safe and follow instructions that you provide to take the best care of your pet and keep them safe.
About: I have pet sat for my neighbors since I was 15 years old, professionally so for a collective 8 years. (from childhood to today totalling 21 years) I grew up with at least one dog in my parents household, loved both our family dogs through their senior years and beyond. I am pet cpr/ first aide certified, currently own a 9 year old Grey Domestic short hair cat, Thor, and my 28 year old horse, Riley. I am looking to head back to school for veterinary medicine with focus on large animal sports medicine/orthopedics. Eventually mixed practice too. In the horse world, I have 33 years under my belt, with my godmother introducing me at age 3. I am passionate about pet care, large and small. Most experience with cats, dogs, and horses and looking to expand. From the toy breeds of canine, to the extra large goofs, I enjoy caring for your loved ones as if they were my own. Shy guys? No problem! I take my time letting them get to know me without offense. Need a little extra help on training homework from your professional training team? Walk me through and I am more than happy to continue with their routine. I'm a softie for seniors. Looking forward to meeting you all and your pets! Available for walks, pop ins now! Currently in the process of signing up to renew my pet cpr and first aid certification. And I hope to start vet med prerequisites online at NoVA Community College. The later I am able to balance with all the attention on your pets. My neighborhood is nearby Scott's Run, Great Falls Park and Riverbend Park here in McLean and Geat Falls, Virginia. If ok with pet parents, I can take them for a walk (one at a time) during in home boarding. We don't have a fenced yard but our neighborhood offers plenty of walk routes. At client's home, I try to keep our walks with in the neighborhood and no socializing due to safety, even if your pup knows a neighbor's pup.
“Leila was very nice and efficient she was able to get to my very complicated apartment with no issues. Fast response time and was very detailed with her interactions with my dog . 10 out of 10 easily”
About: In addition to caring for my own dogs since I was a child, I've been the go-to petsitter for my family and neighborhood throughout high school. Now that I'm in college, I miss fur babies dearly, and I'm excited to get back into the business! I'm at school full-time, but my weekends and Mondays are completely free, plus Thursday mornings and evenings are open as well. I'd be happy to look after your pets during weekend getaways, or stop by as needed when evening events take you away from home. Your home is yours, and I'm more than willing to follow your routine and rules so that your pet feels secure and you need not worry while trying to enjoy some time away. I also tend to be very communicative, so that you know exactly what's up and can rest easy.

Ariana walked Major a number of times over the last several weeks when his regular walker was out of town and I can't say enough about what a great job she did. She agreed to meet on very short notice, was extremely responsive to messages, and provided immediate and substantial updates after every walk. I had complete peace of mind on the days she walked Major and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a worker who's flexible, reliable, and easy to work with.
DJ does an amazing job with Wrigley. We did our initial walk and she was very observant of his behaviors and able to adapt to put him at ease with a new walker. She is always on time, communicates very well, and genuinely enjoys being with Wrigley. He loves being with her on his walks.
Benny absolutely love spendong time with Grant, he's so sweet, caring, and attentive. It’s clear how much he loves what he do, and it makes me feel so comfortable knowing my boy is in such good hands. I couldn’t be happier with the care and attention he provides. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️
I consider myself very lucky to have had Christopher take care of my 10 year old dog Abbey. I could not have asked for a more dependable, kind, and thoughtful person to be with Abbey and, as a bonus, provide love and affection to our elderly cat Indy! Christopher has a “way” with animals, and they connect with him instantly. He is an absolute gem.
Elizabeth has been a wonderful help with my little dog, Pepper, as I recover from knee replacement surgery. She established a good relationship with Pepper right away, and Pepper, who usually resists walking g with anyone but me, trots right out with Elizabeth. In addition, she is right on time each day, and has been flexible about exact timing of their daily walks. I highly recommend her!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Somerset is $24 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Somerset. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Somerset after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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.
Every walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Somerset. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
