“Jennifer is wonderful. This was the first time she took care of our cat, and it went well. She is easy to communicate with. We will definitely request her again.”
“Victoria and her son communicated in a very timely manner. Photos were sent every visit and if something came up they addressed it with me as well. It was nice to have them as pet sitters and recommend them! Thank you once again!”
About: Hi, I’m Meriam! I work fully from home and have a flexible schedule. I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. Most of my friends have pets, so I’ve occasionally helped care for their dogs and cats when needed. I’m patient, attentive, and mindful of each pet’s personality, routine, and needs, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding or simply keeping them company :) I work fully from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and quality time on both weekdays and weekends. I’m very attentive to each pet’s individual routine, personality, and needs. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and care, while keeping their environment clean, comfortable, and secure. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos.
“Jesica took great care of our quirky elderly dog (who is slightly blind and walks slowly). Jesica is caring, reliable and thoughtful and had an intuitive sense of what was needed. Our dog took easily to Jesica (no small feat). She was even willing to deal with rush-hour traffic to get to our house. I look forward to booking Jesica again for pet care.”
“Absolutely wonderful dog walker! They are reliable, caring, and clearly have a genuine love for dogs. What really stands out is their thoughtful communication—they always keep me updated, share helpful details about each walk, and make sure I know how my pup is doing. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such attentive and trustworthy hands. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!”
“Rachel took great care of my 2 cats while I was out of town. She made sure to keep me updated after each visit and sent me adorable pictures. Would definitely recommend using Rachel!”
“Cynthia helped us out last minute, was incredibly responsive and took great care of Felix in our absence. I would definitely book her again and recommend her highly. Thank you Cynthia!”
“Sam was wonderful. We needed someone to take care of our dog on relatively short notice for a cross country trip for the holidays and Sam was not only able to come check on and walk her twice a day but when we unexpectedly needed Luna out of the house for a few days, Sam was able to bring her home as well. Really excellent caretaker, flexible, and we will absolutely keep Sam in mind for all future needs!”
“Stephanie stepped in on short notice and took great care of our dog and cat while we were away? She left helpful notes, sent photos and gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were out of town! I would definitely recommend her and will reach out to her when we travel again.”
“Trishell did a great job with my fur babies while I was away! She sent plenty of pictures and updates, was on time and very friendly! I would definitely recommend using Trishell for your pet care needs!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and children. While living in Colorado, I worked as a dog walker and nanny for families with large dogs and young children. Most of the dogs I cared for were medium to large breeds, and my experience ranges from puppies to senior dogs. Since moving to the DC area, I have continued working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also live with a cat at home, so I am comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available during weekdays and weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting visits. At this time I am not able to host pets in my home, but I have reliable transportation and am happy to travel for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting. I have a flexible schedule during the week and on weekends, allowing me to accommodate consistent routines as well as last-minute or varying pet care needs. At this time I do not have the space to accommodate pets in my house, but I have transportation to do drop-ins and house calls.
“I only have the most positive things to say about Leila! She is responsive, sweet and very caring. I feel completely comfortable leaving her in charge of my home and my cats. Thank you!!”
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.
About: I have years of experience caring for pets, so I’m patient, responsible and attentive to each pet’s needs. I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, whether that means going on walks, playing, sticking to feeding schedules or just keeping your pet company. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved and comfortable while you’re away. As a college student, I plan my schedule carefully so I can give pets plenty of attention and consistent care. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting around my classes, and I make sure to communicate clearly with owners about timing and availability. I’m responsible, flexible and happy to work with your pet’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention and exercise, and a clean environment. I’m happy to follow specific instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications or other needs. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel at ease knowing their pets are in good hands!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs in the family since I was 8 or 9. I love to play with all kinds of dogs and go on long walks. I will be available to take care of your pets anytime weekdays or weekends! I am starting a full time job in mid October but until then I am around. I have a very calm environment with a completely fenced grassy yard with lots of space to play. We have one indoor cat but she can keep to herself or play a little.
About: I raised a Yorkie from 2 months old to 16 years. During high school, I woke up at 6am to walk her. I trained her to roll over and play dead. My family loved her with all of our heart and wish to substitute her furry companionship with that of other dogs who need intermittent caring. I work full time and am available to care for a dog after work or on the weekends. I’d love to walk dogs in my spare time and care for them as they need! I have a fenced yard that holds a shed and deck—it’s plenty big for small dogs. The house has three floors and two large rooms for lounging space.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Somerset is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Somerset
Becca was great with my cat Alfred! She made sure to send lots of pictures and was able to spend some time playing with him so he didn’t feel too lonely. She also cleaned up his vomit (he often eats too fast🥲) and she notified me when it happened and cleaned it up which was greatly appreciated. When I came back from my trip, Alfred was excited to see me, but I got the sense that he didn’t feel so lonely while I was gone which is just what I wanted. Will absolutely be reaching out to Becca again next time I’m away.
I cannot recommend Jennifer highly enough! Leaving Liam is always stressful, but Jennifer gave us total peace of mind from day one. She strictly followed his feeding routine and litter schedule, and sent us updates regularly. Professional, punctual, and a genuine cat person. We will definitely be booking them again!
Gabby always goes above and beyond in catsitting my cat. She is always punctual, follows care instructions to a T, and genuinely cares about making my cat happy and pampered. Gabby also goes the extra mile to ensure my cat feels comfortable around her, hanging around with my cat until she’s happy and content. She also sends tons of cute pictures of my cat and sends a Rover Card after each visit. Gabby has helped me out so many times in watching my cat, sometimes at the last minute. I’m so happy to have her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Somerset is $29 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $42 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 16,781 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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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.
