“Erica was excellent. She gave us updates through-out the day on how Cocoa was doing. She was also very tidy and neat. The house was left spotless. I would highly recommend Erica.”
“Karachi took outstanding care of my two pups in my home while we were away. She sent regular updates with adorable pics and videos, which put my mind at ease that all was well. One of my dogs was getting over an ear infection and she dutifully administered his meds and ear wash. Not only did we return home to happy dogs, but Karachi left the house spotlessly clean. We will definitely plan to book again with Karachi and would recommend her completely!”
About: Hi everyone 👋 my name is Jenni and my experience with animals started when I was young. I grew up with dogs all my life and had a Lhasa Apso and Pitbull/Akita mix as my first dogs but now have 2 cats. My boyfriend has his own pet sitting/pet boarding business where I regularly help out. I have 19 years of experience taking care of all kinds of dogs and cats, including, young and senior pets, and bunnies/rabbits. I have experience in administering oral, ear, and eye medication. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Looking forward to working with you and building long lasting friendships and partnerships with you and your pet. 🌞 Pet care fits into my schedule very well as I work locally which gives me the option to work remotely or in person. Therefore, I have a flexible schedule to adjust to the times you need help with. The care I provide for the animals that I will be watching while in their house is following the same schedule routine and safety plans the owners have for their own pet. During the meet & greet I love to learn about the owners pets so I can make sure to give the same quality of care that the owners give☺️
“Caroline was super nice! Very flexible about a last min booking and flexible about coming later than planned. Great with our cats and she was able to give our older cat medicine too! Thank you Caroline!”
“Juna was an absolute pleasure to work with. She pet sat for our 2 dogs and 2 cats… 3 out of the 4 are seniors and take medication and one special needs dog who went blind 6 months ago. She handled our “motley crew” with such care and grace and communicated with us regularly making sure we knew they were doing fine. We will definitely be using Juna again to care for our animals.”
“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!!”
“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!”
“Melissa did a fantastic job housesitting our two dogs! Our dogs took an immediate liking to her. She sent us daily updates and pictures. She also took great care of our home. I would highly recommend her!”
“Michaela watched our nervous chihuahua while we were in town. She was great with our dog, sent lots of pictures and was great to work with. We will be using her again!”
“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!”
“Vana was incredibly friendly, communicative, and caring for her stay in our home with our (huge) pup, Wrigley. She checked in as requested and made sure to ask questions to provide him the best care. Not only that, but the house was exactly as we left it on return. We would book with Vana again in the future (and Wrigley seems like he would be a fan, too).”
“Ixchel stepped in at the last minute to watch our dog, Rue. Rue can be shy and anxious around new people, and Ixchel knew exactly how to approach her. She provided regular updates and we felt relieved knowing Rue was in good hands. Would recommend her services!”
“Vitality B. Is fantastic pet sitter. He's responsible, dependable, and our kitties love having him around. He sends us updates and we feel very fortunate to find him through Rover. This is our first time using an app to book a pet sitter. And this is our 3rd time having Vitali here at our home. You will have peace of mind if you hire Vitali. And your pets will love him too!!”
“Catherine stayed at our house taking care of our young cats Lyle and Vienna, and the house, for 9 days. She did a terrific job. The cats were in wonderful shape and so was our house. We hope to use her services again.”
“As always, Trisha is a wonderful sitter for us. In addition to providing excellent care for our beloved pets, she handled a home maintenance emergency that came up while we were away with a cool head and consistent communication. We’d highly recommend hiring her for your house sitting needs.”
About: I've taken care of many dogs, and a few cats, for many years. Friends and family know how much I love animals, so most of my past sitting experience has fallen into my lap. Once, a family friend who had moved to California flew me out to take care of her Hungarian Vizsla while she was away. I have experience with senior animals, including understanding mobility issues and giving supplements along with meals I currently work part-time and remote, so I am very flexible with my schedule. I occasionally have scheduled calls, but they aren't usually long, and I can work around them pretty easily. I'm always happy to play games with pets, whether that's throwing a ball to be retrieved, or exploring something else in the toy collection. But I'm also happy to let the dog or cat lie down and rest, while checking in regularly to make sure that they don't need an outdoor break or water refill, etc.
“Nolan was amazing. He took care of my pups like they were his own. Both of my pups are older and require medication or extra care and Nolan was able to provide excellent care to them. Will definitely book him again.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Somerset is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Somerset
Jessica is our go-to dog sitter when we leave town! She is so good with our high energy Aussie and takes great care of our home, always leaving it better than she found it. It’s not easy to leave your dog with a sitter, so trust me Jessica is the BEST and we trust her completely with ours!
Erica took amazing care of our 3 dogs, including our senior dog who has health issues (needs medications and wears a diaper). Erica was extremely professional and a great communicator during her stay (lots of pictures). She clearly loves dogs and our dogs loved her. We highly recommend!
My pups and cat love when Deniz house sits them! On her last stay most of my pets ended up getting sick and she took great care of them cleaning up and even going out of her way to pick up a prescription from the pharmacy for one of them. My senior is on several meds and she is able to follow the complicated schedule including last-minute updates when we needed to add in a new prescription.
Annah and Meara were wonderful duo! They sent us daily photos and updates, which made it so easy to relax while we were away. We could tell our pups felt completely at home with them because when we got back, they barely got off the couch to greet us! They also brought in our deliveries and left the house clean. We’d happily book with them again.
Kenneth was absolutely amazing with Bella! From the moment we met him, he was polite, professional, and clearly had a natural way with her. It was so reassuring to know Bella was in such capable and caring hands. I truly cannot recommend Kenneth enough, if you're looking for a sitter, look no further!
Gabriela did a wonderful job housesitting and taking care of my cat Bob. He’s an only cat and really thrives off of human love and attention. Because of this, I often get nervous and guilty leaving town. But Gabriela gave Bob tons of love and did an excellent job making sure he got plenty of exercise and stimulation.
Victoria was so great! She was very responsive and wonderful with communication. We had a somewhat last minute out of trip plan and she made time to come over to meet our pets before the weekend. She was prepared and had all of their info at her fingertips. Over the weekend we were away she kept in contact and sent the cutest pictures. We had a better time knowing our pets were in such good and caring hands with Victoria.
Dorothy is wonderful! She stayed with my 2 dogs for a weekend that I was away and I was relaxed knowing my dogs were in good hands. She prearranged a meet and greet so she could get to know the dogs beforehand, making sure she knew their routines and quirks. She was extremely kind and my nervous dog liked her right away! When I came home, both dogs were very happy and she left my home spotless. I absolutely recommend Dorothy for anyone looking for a reliable and kind pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Somerset on Rover is $59.94 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 10,614 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
