About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family was always surrounded by pets. Dogs, turtles, bunnies and even the neighborhood squirrels and deer seemed to know our house was a safe place to visit! I truly believe every living thing deserves love and care, and that's a value that was instilled in me early on. We were never able to have a dog of our own growing up since we lived in a rental, but now that I have my own home, I'm so excited to finally be able to care for dogs the way I've always wanted to. I have hands-on experience. I’ve stayed overnight for two weeks to care for a friend’s dog, handling feeding, walks, and all-around care. My relatives also have dogs of all different sizes and breeds, so I'm very comfortable and confident around dogs of any type. I’ve also cat sat for my close teacher for about a month several times as well. Even when a dog isn't mine, I make it a point to visit, bring treats, and make them feel special and I bring that same love and attention to every dog I care for. Your pup will get lots of playtime, cuddles, and kisses, and I'll make sure they feel completely comfortable and at ease with me from day one! I am currently working and taking classes remotely and so I’ll have plenty of time to spend time and take care of the dogs. In my home, your dog gets a comfortable space, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles, just like part of the family. In your home, I follow your dog's normal routine closely, from feeding times to walks, so they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Either way, my goal is the same: your dog feels loved and cared for like their own

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of different sizes for a few years now. I love animals and since I have none of my own; I thought pet sitting would be the best opportunity for me to meet people, their families and their pets 😄 I am currently working part time now, so I have lots of time to care for and play with your cats & dogs! I love animals and since I have no pets of my own; this is the best opportunity to show my love for them!! I will definitely make sure your pet(s) is cared for with fresh food and water; also treats ( by owner direction. ) I will also make sure that the environment is safe during my visit, and will definitely reach out if I see anything questionable! I will also provide playtime with your pet(s).

About: What sets me apart is the love and attention I give each dog as if they were my own. I’m very attentive to routines, feeding, and behavior, making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I’m also organized, patient, and I always make sure they get plenty of affection, playtime, and care. I’m fully available, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I can give pets consistent attention, follow their schedule, and be present throughout the day. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, safe, and loving environment with plenty of space to explore. I’m lucky to have a large outdoor area with beautiful surroundings, including small lakes and walking paths, which allows for relaxing walks and plenty of fresh air. I always supervise outdoor time to ensure safety. Inside, I keep a clean, cozy space where pets can rest comfortably and follow their usual routines. In clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s routine and environment, making sure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away.

About: I have been petsitting for over 10 years now! I absolutely love animals, and I see it as a real gift to care for other people’s beloved companions. I’ve had the pleasure of sitting for both cats and dogs, and earlier this year I also ran a small farm on my own for three weeks, caring for goats and chickens. I pride myself on being responsible, reliable, and deeply caring; maintaining structure and routine for animals while also offering plenty of affection, cuddles, and attention. I’m really looking forward to meeting you and caring for your home and pets! I am a writer who uses petsitting opportunities to focus on my writing! I also teach yoga & playwriting and host events! My weekly routine is pretty flexible in many ways so if you have a unique time or petsitting request, please reach out! I take being in other people's homes to be a matter of great responsibility and care. I have had the honor of pet sitting all over the world now, and I really treat other people's homes as my home when I am there. I am very clean and attentive to details. I am also the type of person to go for long walks, meditate and do yoga. I don't drink, and enjoy the simple things in life. If you have a dog that love walks, we will be best friends.

About: Hello! My name is Izzy, and I'd love to help take care of your furry friends. I am a certified dog and cat groomer, and I have a lot of experience working with various animals, especially birds, and farm animals. I've gained a lot of knowledge about animals through volunteering, work, as well as through caring for my own pets. I have 2 elderly rescue hounds of my own, Walter and Rosa, as well as a Senegal parrot named Zeppole. I also have experience working with rescue dogs/older dogs with anxiety. I look forward to meeting you and your pet :) I am free to house-sit during weekends, as well as do drop-ins or walks during most days of the week. If you have a specific time-frame you need me present, let me know and I can arrange my schedule around yours to the best of my abilities. Due to my own animal's needs and temperaments, I am sadly not able to board any pets. However, I'll be happy to provide your animals with the same level of upmost care at your home that I would for my own pets.

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: I've had my own dog for the past 10 years, so I'm very comfortable with the daily responsibilities of caring for pets. I take care of everything from walking and feeding to bathing and basic training. Over the past few years, I've also looked after my neighbors' and family members' pets while they were away, making sure they stayed on their normal routines and got plenty of attention. I understand that every pet is different, and I always make an effort to provide the same level of care that I'd want for my own dog. I work part-time remotely, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time during the day to walk, play with, and care for your pet. I'll make sure they get the attention and care they need while you're away. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any specific instructions. I make sure the pet is always safe, supervised, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m careful to respect the home, keep everything clean, and communicate if anything comes up while I’m there.

Nico has walked Stormy twice now, and we’ve been very happy. He’s prompt, polite, reliable, and clearly very comfortable with dogs. Stormy took to him immediately, and we felt completely at ease sending her off with him. He also sends wonderful photos and updates from their walks, which we really appreciate. We’re very glad to have found him and would definitely recommend Nico to anyone looking for a dependable, caring dog walker.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Somerset

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Somerset is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $32 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 13,111 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Somerset. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Somerset. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Somerset after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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 walker 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.

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

  • 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 88% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers 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 walker.
