“Carolynn did a great job house sitting and caring for our senior Cat and dog while we were out of town. She did a great job with communication and pictures regarding our pets, but also did a great job with house related needs like bringing our garbage can from the end of the driveway when I forgot to ask her to do that. Highly recommend and we will use her services again.”
About: My family always had pets while I was growing up. We used to breed labradors. When I was in jr high and high school I would do a lot of volunteering at the local veterinary clinic in Cottage Grove. My family has two wiener dogs (Slinky and Dewey) and one kitty cat (Zackary Binks). My sister is a dog groomer and I have on numerous occasions gone over to help her care for her puppy clients. I currently work a full time job on 2nd shift but am home durning the day Monday-Thursday and am home all day Friday through Sunday. I have a decent sized yard alone with an empty plot next to me to play with your fur baby. I also live down the street from a dog park that my kiddos and I enjoy going to with our own fur babies and would love to bring yours with to join in on the fun.
“Preston came over prior to dogsittting for a meet and greet with the dogs. We have 3 large dogs which can be a lot. She did great with them over the weekend! We would definitely book her again!”
About: Aside from having 3 of my own, I've also fostered other dogs, and I do occasional pop ins for 3 others, actively dog sit another and work in a dog friendly brewery! I work a full time, fully flexible job in Hudson. My weekends, mornings and evenings are open. I also am able to work my schedule around whatever I need. Pets in our home get kenneled if people aren't present. We don't have a fenced in yard, but have 3 tie outs in the yard. In a clients home it would be as a "what's needed/necessary" basis per the owner.
About: I have had animals my entire life and have dedicated my life to helping pets. I have been in the pet supply industry for 5 years and connect with pet parents daily. I have 2 cats and a dog of my own. I have had cats all of my life and a dog for 3 years now! I’m able to care for pets almost every day of the week! I am very available and flexible. Pet care is something that requires routine. I make sure to keep an eye on pets and their surroundings to ensure safety as well as fun for the pet while keeping the home and surrounding area clean and as intended. I also can provide all kinds of enrichment and playtime and love to spoil our furry friends.
“Maya was totally wonderful with our 2 dogs and cat. She stayed at our house, left it in great shape, and loved on the animals. Our dogs have some unique needs - one needs to avoid greeting other dogs, and the other had some meds to take this particular trip - and Maya handled it all like a champ. We're lucky to have her as a reliable walker and housesitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 4 years now! I’m comfortable with staying in your home for overnights or just visiting during the day for walks and play time! Willing to travel to wherever you’re located. I currently have a part-time job, where I work Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. I am able to meet your pet(s) both before and after work, and if I am currently sitting, I make your animals a priority in my routine! Whether you want me at your home or just to stop-in, I will promise you your fur babies will receive excellent care. At this time I can only care for animals at the clients home! I will follow all instructions given to me and I always communicate with the client on a daily basis on how your pets are doing!
About: I’ve had all kinds of animals all my life. I love taking care of animals and enjoy the time I get to spend with them! I am currently working full time and want something to do with my time off. I would love to this more and more in future. I have a fenced in yard and 2 other dogs for your dog to play with. I also have a dog room in house with a bunch of toys for the pups to play! I kennel your fur baby if you would like as well. We have a big yard for running and playing!!
About: I’ve had family dogs my whole life and love to do things outdoors with my dogs. I have two dogs right now one old and one a puppy both with completely different personalities. I’m a student at the university of Nebraska so weekends and afternoons are when I’m most available. I don’t have many other commitments besides classes so I’m very available. I live in my family’s home in Minnesota during summer and breaks but live in apartment in Lincoln during the school year. Brining pets to my apartment wouldn’t work, so I would have to go to clients home.
“Natasha was the BEST! The dogs were happy and healthy when we got home. Brushed and clean and fluffy. The house was immaculate and smelled clean! A great way to come home!!!”
About: I have cared for animals ever since I was a child. I am a caretaker by nature after years of working in healthcare. I am now a stay at home mom to a one-year-old and a 12-year-old.

I can also leave her home with the family if care is needed at your house, I do have a one year-old who is attached to my hip most of the time.
“Scott was just awesome. The dogs were very receptive to him. He sent numerous pictures. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone. My wife and I don't go on vacation very much because of our furry friends, but we may start to go more often now.”
“Kristin stayed with our pups for three nights! She was very accommodating of their schedules and they seemed to be happy! She sent pictures daily and kept us updated on how they were doing. We would recommend Kristin to others!”
“If I could give her more than five stars I would! She was very nice and very professional! She had very very good communication and sent photos of pets often! If I need to book a dog sitter again on rover it will definitely be through her if she is available. Very much recommend Mya!”
About: I’ve worked with dogs and cats in many different ways. I have owned dogs my entire life, plus a few cats. I volunteer at the Humane Society in Kansas City while at school where I work directly with the shelter dogs. I have house sat for multiple family friends and am ready to take on new pups and cats! I am currently home from school for the summer so am looking to fill the time. I work part time as a server a few times a week. During the day I often just workout, read a book, or hang with my own dogs. I have fostered a dog before and can adjust well to your dogs needs. I’ve practiced crate training, furniture restrictions, and other small training tasks. My house has an open yard which my dogs are free to run around in when they are not on leash to go potty.
“Theresa watch my dogs over the weekend. I always love when she takes care of my girls. I don’t have to worry at all. She send me pictures and updates through her time with my dogs. She even watered my newly planted grass seed twice a day! I highly recommend Theresa!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Somerset on Rover is $65.56 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,216 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Somerset. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Somerset walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Somerset maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Somerset. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
