“Noah is fantastic! He dog sat for us for over two weeks and we came home to a very happy dog and spotless apartment. He was communicative the entire time (sent a picture and text update each day) and was event able to accommodate a last minute additional day when we weren’t able to get home the day we originally planned. Highly recommend Noah and will be booking again!”
“Lesley was amazing and took care of our anxious pup wonderfully. We had just lost our cat and the pup was a nervous wreck, and Lesley was able to care for her and keep her happy while we were away!”
“Summar is the best! She watched our dog and house while we were away for a week. Top notch care and top notch communication. She’s a lovely person and that comes through in everything she does.”
“Kevin was our saving grace! We had to change sitters last-minute and Kevin stepped in without a glitch. He is very responsive and attentive. He spent tons of quality time with Toby and always kept us in the loop. Good sense of humor too. Would definitely book with him again.”
“Karachi did a great job with my two block heads and take good care of my house. She sent me pictures of my fur babies daily. I would definitely recommend her.”
“Melissa was great with our dog! She was very responsive and reached out with photos and check-ins. She also left our home in great shape. We would love to have her watch Lolli again!”
“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!”
“We were VERY pleased with Jony. It was a last minute booking for an unexpected trip. He came to meet our dog and go over house/animal instructions beforehand. When he stayed at our house he left it cleaner than when he arrived! He took excellent care of our 10 yr old rescue German Shepherd and our chinchilla. Communication was excellent. We will definitely book with him again.”
“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!”
“Savannah was wonderful! She came by to meet our two dogs and learn about them before she house sat for us. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated with photos while we were away. Would highly recommend her!”
“Gabs did a great job with my pup, Lula Mae. Lu was well cared for and I got great communications & updates. Gabs also left our home spotless, which was much appreciated when I got home from my trip! We look forward to booking with Gabs again in future!”
“We are so fortunate to have found Vitali! If you want to go on vacation and not have to worry about your pets plotting your demise, hire Vitali B! Great communication and our kitties were so relaxed upon our return that they barely noticed us when we walked in to the house. Meow.....”
“Andrea went over and beyond. Kaya was well cared for and happy, the house was left in great shape, and when bad weather threatened to delay our return home, Andrea worked with us to be sure Kaya care was covered! Highly recommend!”
“Danielle was great! She scheduled a meet-and-greet in advance where she asked thoughtful questions and saw our pup’s routine. She took great care of our house and sent lots of pictures throughout the stay which was much appreciated. Would definitely book with her again. Thanks again!”
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.
“Erica did once again a superb job with my bunnies staying overnight in my house and I can highly recommend her as a wonderful, caring, attentive and professional petsitter.”
“Lizabethe was great watching Maggie and Rocco in our home while we were away for an extended weekend! She provided regular updates with pictures. We'd love to book with Lizabethe again!”
“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.”
“Katherine was fantastic with our Muffin and is a delight! We had ongoing pictures and texts from her that made us comfortable during our two weeks away. We are so pleased that we got to know her!”

Allison is the perfect dog sitter! She was wonderful and kind with our dog Blaze, taking him for long walks and taking very good care for him, while also being excellent with communication and looking after our house perfectly. We will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her. Thanks so much!
Halle watched our Pomeranian over the weekend at our house and she was fantastic. Our dog has anxiety and requires daily medication, which Halle handled well. She did a great job gaining the trust of our little Pom who can be difficult and hide away from strangers when we are out of town. She also left our house cleaner than we left it and was super communicative all weekend with updates and pics! Will definitely have Halle watch her again :)
Rachel housesit and took care of our two young cats for the weekend. It was a short time, but Rachel was terrific. She was great at communication, took lots of cute pictures of the cats, and went the extra mile to do some household chores and clean up. The cats are in great shape. We hope to use her services again!
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!!
Annah and Meara stayed at our place with our two dogs while we were on an international trip and could not have been happier with the experience! They were quick with communication and sent us many pictures and updates while we were away. They also took great care of our space and even helped with putting the sheets/towels in the dryer after their stay since we had another sitter coming afterwards. Would absolutely book them again in the future!
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.

FAQs for House Sitting - Somerset
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
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
