Cindy was fantastic with my dog! She was very helpful throughout the entire process, always on time, and a great communicator. I really appreciated how responsible and attentive she was, knew my dog was in good hands while I was gone. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.

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!

Another great visit from Jennifer. She was able to get two of my shy kitties out of hiding to have breakfast with the rest. Pets can sense who’s friendly and can be safe around. Jennifer loves pets and pets love her. Thank you Jennifer!

We cannot say enough about the wonderful job Brooke did with our two girls. She has an excellent knowledge of cats and quickly won them over. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that we can go away and leave them in such good hands. We greatly appreciated the daily updates which put our minds at ease. We wholeheartedly recommend Brooke and intend to be a repeat customer.

About: I am a Middle School Counselor off for the summer so my availability is incredibly flexible. I’ve had dogs in my family home since I was in middle school until today. My current dog Moonshine is a Beaglier who is the sweetest girl in the whole world! I have years of experience professionally working with families and children including in-home therapy, so I am comfortable traveling to homes in a professional setting. As a School Counselor, I am currently off of work for the summer so my weekday availability is very flexible. I can plan my daily/weekly living tasks around your needs. I have spent years of my professional career working with children and families. For part of my career that included in-home therapy, so I am comfortable and accustomed to entering homes in a professional setting. My top priority is respecting your home and your pet. My Beaglier, Moonshine, is happy to provide a positive review!

About: My friends and family call me Tom Care-a-lot, Tom the Mom, and The Dog Whisperer. I am often told I am too nice, but sometimes kindness and patience can be what someone needs to be a good caregiver. I have worked at East Memphis Pet Hospital & Resort as a Daycare and Kennel worker, and occasionally perform Vet Tech duties such as administering medication, which has taught me a lot about caring for multiple dogs and adapting to each dogs' individual needs. I have also worked for GoDog West Nashville and Morris Animal Inn. To be responsible for another life sometimes means that you have to be flexible, I understand if something comes up last minute, it happens; I will be as flexible as you and your dogs' needs. Your dog will be in good-hearted, caring hands while you are doing what you need to do. Your dogs and their home will be safe, you can leave it to me. I will respond to booking requests with 12-24 hours if not immediately. If something doesn’t work in my schedule I will let you know ahead of time unless there is an emergency. I work Freelance from home (remote), so my hours are flexible. I have obligations with other people and clients but I will make any booking done through the app, if they are accepted and scheduled. Failure to contact about a booking before service will result in a cancellation and YOU will be charged a cancellation fee and will take all responsibility for your pet(s). I treat them with respect, I will not hit or discipline them physically, if you instruct me to do so I will decline and cancel the stay or appointment. I do not tolerate abuse or neglect. I will clean up if they have an accident and my motto is to “leave the house roughly in the same state you came/found it in”. I will use your amenities like washer/dryer/sink/shower/dishwasher if I am staying multiple days or overnight. I will do my best to clean up after myself but I cannot conform to all expectations of perfection. Make sure there are no illegal drugs or weapons in the residence (weapons must be away and sealed in a secure location, if any are in the residence) failure to comply with this will result in an immediate cancellation and it will be on YOU.

About: Dogs have always held a special place in my heart. I grew up caring for my Shih Tzu and my pit/beagle mix, who are now happily playing over the rainbow bridge. They taught me the importance of patience, attention, and unconditional love, and I hope to share that same nurturing care with the fur babies in my community. I work a typical 9–5 job, with remote flexibility on Mondays and Fridays, and I’m happy to adjust my schedule with advanced notice to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or keeping them company, I will treat your dog like family and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to providing dependable, attentive support and regular updates for your peace of mind. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pup, and I look forward to caring for them as if they were my own. 🐾 I currently work 9 am-5 pm. In office Tuesdays - Thursdays in Princeton/North Brunswick, WFH Mondays and Friday North Brunswick/South Amboy. Flexible with advanced notice! I travel between South Amboy, North Brunswick and Princeton areas. Again, my schedule can be super flexible depending on date and time and we can arrange something! care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment. In my client’s home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions they provide. I make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a calm, clean space. I also take time to understand each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they prefer active play, relaxed companionship, or extra patience if they’re shy. During visits, I provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured that your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet by being dependable, attentive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. I have BA from Rutgers and AAS in Veterinary nursing. I passed the National veterinary technician boards in 1999. I worked at the University of Pennsylvania Veterinary School as an ICU, fluid therapy and neurology nurse practitioner. I trained veterinary students, veterinary nursing student and worked with clinical residents and attending veterinarians. I have experience with senior pets, pets with ambulatory challenges, pets requiring medications and sick pets. I’ve worked with a wide variety of pets including birds, rabbits, ferrets, snakes, hamsters, rats, mice and fish, and other reptiles. I’d love to help care for your pets! As a pet mommy myself I know how important it is to have a trusted care giver when you can’t be home. I am currently very flexible and can have plenty of availability to meet your needs. It will be easy to work with your busy schedule. I am willing to provide the care your pet needs, whether it’s walks, yard play or just sitting with them if they are older and need company. You tell me what they need or like!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Somerset on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of August 2026, there are 12,537 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Somerset. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Somerset stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Somerset with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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
  • 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.

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.
