“We love Summar and she takes AMAZING care of our dog and house! She sends lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay which we all appreciate so much. Thank you Summar!!”
“I can't recommend Kevin enough. He was communicative, responsive, and clearly familiar with caring for dogs. They received regular walks and affection, and I swear the place was in better shape than when I left. An excellent caretaker and sitter - highest marks.”
“Melissa took great care of my senior dog and the house while I was on a long trip. She communicated daily with photos, watered my plants and was very easy to work with. I would recommend her highly!”
“Lizabethe did a great job taking care of my Cupid. She kept me updated daily and stayed at the house to keep him company. I came home to a happy pup. I would highly recommend using her as your dog sitter!”
About: I grew up on a farm and I have been caring for pets and animals all my life. I had 6 dogs growing up on the farm and I had to care for most of them. I also have extensive knowledge on caring for puppies and elderly animals. As well as dogs in heat and pregnant. I work from home as I own another business that is completely hands off. So I love to be able to help people with their pets in the meantime. The pets will love the home we allow them to roam unless directed by owner to be in the cage. Also we have a backyard that is nice and fenced so they can poop and play.
“Andrea did an amazing job looking after Rudy. She was super attentive, caring, and provided lots of updates. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Mars was thoughtful and communicative about our little boy Benji, who can be somewhat anxious and reactive to other dogs. Mara took great care of our home and we look forward to having him back!”
“Katelyn was a perfect sitter for our 5 year old dog Waylon! She provided great photos and updates, took him for walks, and had my mind totally at ease during our weekend vacation. I could tell Waylon was very happy when we came home! She also took wonderful care of our home. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog sitting!”
“Sarah was a wonderful overnight sitter for our senior dog. It is obvious that Sarah loves dogs and that she has a huge amount of experience with pups of all ages, including dogs like mine that require daily medicine. Sara is very conscientious and carefully reviewed my written instructions before I left to make sure she was providing the care (from food to walks) that I was requesting. She also sent updates and photos while we were gone and left my house quite tidy. I was very pleased.”
“Ixchel did a fantastic job house sitting and watching our dogs. She sent daily updates with photos and videos of what they were up to all day and was communicative throughout our travels, and I would book her again!”
“Katie took greate care of our house and our dog. Our dog was happy to see us after a long weekend but also looked happy and healthy. Katie really made everything easy and gave lots of frequent updates.”
“With Wayne, both my pooch and my home were in excellent hands while I was away for several nights. I also appreciated his responsiveness to my texts and the daily updates and photos every morning. A stress-free experience that I look forward to repeating on my next trip!”
“Ashley was absolutely wonderful! Truly so sweet and made me feel incredibly comfortable. I was in a bit of a bind with my other sitter being out of town, so finding someone new was making me a bit nervous, but I immediately felt so comfortable when Ashley came for the meet and greet. My pup is deaf and can be a bit difficult at times, but Ashley had no problem jumping right in and caring for him. I was gone for 6 days and Ashley put me right at ease, which makes traveling much easier knowing my Jackson is being loved and well taken care of! She was truly the best! I have already passed her name onto a neighbor.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Stephanie. She went above and beyond caring for our Penny. We're still training Penny, who is a puppy, and Stephanie helped reinforce good behavior on walks and inside. Penny even got a nice massage and music therapy! We hope to have Stephanie care for Penny again.”
“I simply cannot express the relief I had while traveling with Vanessa as my house/pet sitter. I have 2 cats and was babysitting my daughters cat, who arrived the day I left. Vanessa sent pics everyday of the cats snuggled with her or chilling in their fav spots! My trip was very unexpected, and it was my first time using Rover. I’ve always wary booked Vanessa again for a trip I had planned and was going to take my cat to my daughters, but it was so much more relaxing for them here in their home❤️”
“Daniel took great care of Huckleberry and was an amazing house sitter as well. I think things look even better than I left them! I’ll be sure to book him again should I need another sitter.”
“Daniel absolutely rocked a 3 week session with our 95lb German Shepard. Handling working dogs requires special attention and Daniel’s approach exceeded our expectations. He is super detail oriented and very trustworthy.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Somerset is $55
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Somerset
Our dogs are a big part of our life, so much so that we regularly travel with them for dog shows. So when we have a trip where we can’t travel with them, having peace of mind that they’re well cared for is incredibly important. With Jess, I could not have asked for a better experience. Working with her as our dog and cat sitter feels like a collaborative partnership. She gets to know their personalities, dedicates time to bonding and playing, and provides great updates and photos to give me peace of mind. I would recommend her most highly!
Jennifer was outstanding with my senior dog, Dobby! She gave me detailed updates and sent lots of pictures, which I appreciated. She even was able to modify the booking and stay an extra night when I had issues traveling home at my originally scheduled time. All around fantastic, and I definitely would book with her again :)
Michaela was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our two cats over Halloween weekend, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. She was attentive, caring, and reliable, and it gave us such peace of mind knowing our cats were in good hands while we were away. We really appreciated the time and attention she gave them and how comfortable she made us feel throughout the experience. We would happily book Michaela again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy, and dependable pet sitter!
Naomi and Joseph took amazing care of our dog Dot and our home. We were gone for 5 days and felt at ease with them staying with Dot. They were communicative and left our home spotless. They provided us with peace of mind on our trip and we will certainly be booking them again for our out of town trips.
Annah and Meara were truly so great with our two girls! They stayed with them for 11 nights, and we felt so at ease, got lots of photos and updates, and could tell Pepper and Dot felt very cared for! And as a plus, they took excellent care of our place. Pepper and Dot can be shy but they immediately loved both Annah and Meara right away! We are so happy!
Rachel is amazing! We had a last minute change of plans and needed a dog sitter on short notice. Rachel was extremely communicative and kind. Our dog Barney loved her and had a wonderful time and we got such sweet pictures from her. We strongly recommend her to others and would love to have her dog sit again!!
Halle was excellent! I hired her to look after my dog Penny while I took a day trip, and Halle took excellent care of Penny. Plenty of walks, updates with photos, and she reached out when she had any questions. From the photos it looked like Penny had a very good time with Halle, and I will definitely be reaching out to Halle again the next time I need someone to watch Penny. I highly recommend her!
Toni spent three days in our apartment with our aging cavachon and it was a great success. Our dog is usually standoffish with strangers but she was very comfortable with Toni, who sent us photos and texts on how things were going, including daily medications. I would enthusiastically recommend Toni.

FAQs for House Sitting - Somerset
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Somerset is $67 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $48 and $111 per night. 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 10,451 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Somerset. 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 Somerset 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 Somerset 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 Somerset 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 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.
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.
