About: I understand that every animal has its own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply keeping their routine consistent, I treat every pet with the same patience and kindness I would want for my own two fur babies. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and dependable hands. Pictures and updates will be provided, so you can have consistent peace of mind. Im currently at home due to it being summer break so I have a lot of free time for the time being. I am very flexible when it comes to time and last minute bookings for the next two months. I have two handsome boys of my own Teddy(12) and Vader (4). I do not have a fenced in yard so they love going out on simple walks, big hikes, lakes, the beach and going to the park. With previous clients I would bring their pups with us as well or just keep them in their own neighborhood and in their routines to make sure they’re always happy and comfortable, It’s definitely all up to the parents.

About: Throughout my life, I have consistently owned dogs. I possess the expertise to train both puppies and senior dogs, as well as administer medication when necessary. Additionally, my background in law enforcement includes working with the canine unit. I am passionate about providing exercise for animals. I work full time and are available2 to 3 days a week. Mondays would be after 1pm. Tuesday are open, and Wednesdays I am open in the morning till 1pm. I have a fenced in yard for my two dogs currently. Both of them are house trained and adorable. My dogs are on a raw diet which takes a lot of prep and care. They go on walks at night with me when I come home from work.

About: With experience of caring of dogs for almost my whole life I have understood animal behavior, understanding their physical needs of being outside, and their time for cuddles on the couch. I love animals of all sizes and quantity. I currently have three of them myself and love them with my whole heart. That same passion goes into my work ethic as well when with others doggos! Pet care works into my early morning routine and as a student I keep myself on a tight schedule. Your pets routines are just as important as mine. I take great consideration into the dogs I care for. I will ensure a environment free of any harm including medications that are far from reach for dogs, food put away so they do not get sick and inspect what they are eating as well.

Celestine did a fabulous job caring for my two cats this past weekend. They took good care of them, kept them company, fed them, and cleaned up two messes they made. I really appreciated Celestine's care and would definitely hire them again.

About: I have been taking care of animals most of my life! I have my own dog her name is Revvy and she is my whole entire world! I also have experience with pigs, chickens, fish, and so much more! I have lots of love to give to all kinds of animals. I just want to be able to care for all furry kinds of friends and give them the love and attention they deserve. I work at a doggy day care and boarding facility but always make time for my dog, we always are out early in the morning to tire her out so she isn’t missing me too much when I am at work! Then we go out after work. I am mostly available early mornings and possibly late evenings. I will treat them as my own, give them lots of love and attention. I will protect them and provide them with everything they need. I just hope that they will end up loving me as much as they would be loved by me.

About: I have cared for my own dog for 5 years and I love dogs more than anything. I am kind, patient and happy to give them love and safe care I am currently available all days and hours of the week. I can walk dogs any time and give them attention, exercise and care whenever needed. I have my own dog, so I prefer not to host dogs in my home. I can care for dogs on walks or in their own homes once I know and trust the owners.

About: When a dog stays at my house I treat them as if they were my own. I have years of experience watching my sisters' dogs years ago which snowballed me into watching dogs for my coworkers, other family members and Rover clients. I have two cats who play scared but are really just dramatic and curious when a pup comes in. If your dog isn’t cat friendly I would leave them in my room and gate the dog in the kitchen when I’m not home for any reason but otherwise he will have the kitchen and entire living room with me. I work night shifts from home, so when I have your pup the longest he will be alone is an hour or two for an errand run. I always walk around my complex even when not sitting a dog, so your pup will always get good walking time with me. I have a part time job 3 days out of the month that requires 9 hours out of the house. If that day falls in between your pups visit I will let you know. I take out dogs often and have lots of park/walking area in my complex. The complex I live in is pet friendly with little car traffic.

Brooke was wonderful! She kept me updated on my guy with pics, and details for each visit. Atlas even had some unexpected diarrhea and Brooke was kind enough to make some rice and mix it in with his breakfast. My guy is busy with a lot of Big Puppy Energy and this didn't seem to pose a problem at all. I will definitely book Brooke again.

Rebecca was amazing, reliable and communicative. She gave my pom oral medication twice daily while I was away and topical treatment for her skin infection. She was attentive and caring toward my other 2 dogs and gave them treats as well. Rebecca was of major assistance while I was out of town and I can't say her praises highly enough. Definitely recommend leaving your pets on her care as she's a true animal lover and very responsible.

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.
