Cristina is amazing! She’s got great availability and is so awesome with our kitties. She always makes sure to play with them and noticed when things are off, like a possible medical issue or piece of trash they might chew on. I highly recommend her - I always know my cats are in good hands!

Having Rebecca care for my fur baby several times shows that I trust her. She drops in to feed and care for my cat and sends pictures and narration during her time in my home.

Danielle is excellent! Since this was our first time using her services, she came over a few days before to meet my 3 cats and me. She is detail oriented and spent time with each of the cats to get oriented to their space and learn their feeding routine. She is very responsible and spent a lot of time (more than 30 mins!) to make sure they each got enough attention and pets. I will be using her again and I would highly recommend her!

Eleanor went completely above and beyond to take care of my cats! One of my cats is a too smart for his own good, and he ended up getting into a specific cabinet for the first time and eating a whole bag of treats. Eleanor found a way to keep him out of that cabinet, and she also spent extra time with him to make sure he wasn't having any digestive problems. She's also super knowledgeable about cats and was so communicative with me the whole time I was gone!

Yin was awesome! She came on time, fed my puppy, took him outside, cleaned up his messes, and washed his food bowl. She showed care and attention. She went above and beyond what I could have imagined. She communicated effectively and kept me informed. I will definitely book with her again.

Michael has been absolutely wonderful with our doggo! He has such a care and attention to her needs, and even helped out when she got into trouble and got into our pantry lol. We have a reactive dog, and he's been great with taking her for walks and managing her energy and needs safely. We can tell that she is very comfortable with him, and would recommend Micheal to anyone with a furry friend! :)

I quickly rebooked Chloe for the holiday—she is phenomenal! She really does go above and beyond to make sure my cat is spoiled and loved while I am away, e.g., she surprised him with treats and made an extra drop-in on Christmas Day just to say hi! Chloe is attentive, respectful, and bubbly. I am very grateful to have met her and cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Chloe!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. Growing up around both dogs and cats taught me how to understand their different personalities, needs, and behaviors from an early age. Over the years, I’ve gained hands on experience with pets of all ages, and sizes. I truly enjoy creating a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for them. Whether it’s going on walks, playtime, feeding, giving medication, or simply providing companionship and affection, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet who is a part of your family. I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is always to make pets feel happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I am currently a law student and will also be completing a summer internship. With a flexible schedule and the ability to work from home two days a week, I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, feedings, playtime, and companionship. I also offer overnight stays to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of reliability, communication, and consistency when caring for someone’s pet, and I’m committed to providing attentive and dependable care that fits each pet’s individual needs. I provide care for pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and stress-free environment while their owners are away. I make it a priority to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any special instructions provided by the owner. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I always take the time to build trust and make them feel safe, calm, and cared for. In addition to meeting their daily needs, I also provide plenty of attention, companionship, and affection so pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it’s keeping an energetic dog active with walks and playtime or giving a cat quiet companionship and care, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I also make sure owners feel reassured by providing updates, photos, and clear communication throughout the stay.

About: I’ve cared for pets since I was 7 years old, gaining experience as a loving pet owner rather than a professional sitter. I’ve raised dogs and cats of all kinds and truly treat every animal like family. Friends and family often trust me to care for their pets because they know I’m responsible, patient, and always make sure every pet feels loved, safe, and happy. currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 8am to 5pm, but I always make time for pets before and after work, as well as on weekends. I’m available for walks and drop-ins after 5:30pm on weekdays, and I’m fully available on weekends for boarding or extended stays. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love to make new friends. Your pet will have a safe, comfortable space to play and relax. I’m happy to follow any routines, feeding schedules, or crate preferences you have to make sure your pet feels right at home. I care for every animal as if they were part of my own family — with patience, love, and attention to detail.

We are so grateful to Jasmin for watching our cat, Riley, while we were traveling. She took great care of her which let us enjoy our trip without worrying. She even went the extra step of washing Riley’s dishes after her meals. Thank you so much, Jasmin! We would definitely book with you again. ☺️

This was our first time booking through Rover, as well as our first time hiring someone that we do not know to take care of our pets… She was great, and I feel really gave the cats a nice level of comfort while we were a lot away for so long… I strongly recommend her and will be looking forward to booking her for our next trip

I had Rebecca checking in on my cat while I was away and she was amazing! My cat is usually very shy and hides from new people but she felt so comfortable and came out for every visit. I would definitely hire Rebecca again in the future :)

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Somerset

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Somerset on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,827 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Somerset. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Somerset. On Rover:

  • 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
