Makenzie is awesome - my normally anxious and wary dog warmed right up to her. She was punctual, communicative, and friendly. I will definitely be using Makenzie again!

Aaron is awesome! He put up with my blabbering about my dogs during our meet and greet, and was very polite and kind. He didn’t mind my dogs’ high energy and excitement. He took very cute pictures of them while he was looking after them, and he kept me updated on how they were doing. He’s an absolute delight; I can’t recommend him enough!

I cannot recommend Jason enough! Jason was so great with our boys and really put me at ease! To start, he met our dogs beforehand and they immediately loved him. He was very communicative during his visits and so flexible, and from all the communication, pictures, and seeing my dogs afterwards I could tell they were beyond well-cared-for! Thanks Jason for keeping our boys so happy, and helping me maintain sanity knowing they were in great hands!

Emerson was great! She showed up on time, and followed instructions to a tea. And had zero problems with my 6 month old Malinois, and other large dog! Even in the pouring rain. Would recommend her for any of your pets needs :)

About: I have been surrounded by animals since I was little. I had cats at home and started horseback riding when I was six. Now, I am living in New Hampshire for 3 years, with my husband, our two dogs, our cat... only our mare stayed in France. I do not work, so I am available to take care of your pets. I can groom them, administer medicine (with clear instructions), walk them or just cuddle them. I may be out 4 hours max for my english lessons. We moved to the United States for my husband's job; I don't work, so I would be delighted to look after your babies as if they were my own. I take English classes twice a week in the morning, but I am completely free the rest of the time. At my home, your dogs will be treated just like mine, with access to the garden and unlimited playtime and naps. Introductions to my own dogs will be handled gently—especially with Flack, who can take a little time to warm up but is used to meeting plenty of doggy friends back in France. At your home, I will follow your instructions; since my English isn't perfect yet, please feel free to leave written notes.

If you're looking for a local dog walker who can commit to walks or drop-ins around set days every week, I'm happy to help with that. I work from home and have a flexible schedule.

About: I've had pets my entire life. Dogs and cats. They've always been family. I got my current dog, my 15 year old Maggie, when I was 17. She lived with me and my parents, and now she lives with my partner and me. I'd do anything for her, and we often have to make adjustments to schedules to make sure she gets outside on time. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm used to changing on the fly based on pets' specific needs! I also have two senior cats. I'm used to applying medicine on their ears, and I have experience with getting them to take pills. I have experience caring for a variety of other pets as well. I've petsat for friends and family numerous times with no issues. At the end of the day, I will make sure your pet is cared for exactly how you ask! I currently work full time, but my weekends are usually wide open, and I can make the occasional weekday trip before 8am and after 6pm. If you need weekday care that my profile doesnt list, feel free to reach out about it! I can't do boarding since I have a relatively full studio apartment with 3 pets already, but I can come to you and will take care of your pets in any way that you request!

About: Hello! Thanks for checking out my profile! I am a former elementary teacher turned professional dog walker, dog trainer, + pet sitter for over 20 years + counting! I am excited to provide services in my hometown of South Berwick + nearby towns: Eliot, The Berwicks, Dover, + Rollinsford but may be willing to travel outside of the range but a surcharge applies. Please read through the details + ask any questions! References are always available your peace of mind. A Meet & Greet is required prior to care. What sets me apart from other dog walkers/pet sitters? I am more than just a "pet lover." I have professional hands-on experience with countless of dogs/cats/etc due to my private business "April's Dog Walking & Pet Sitting." 👉 My availability is open on Tuesdays + Thursdays and most evenings 7 days a week 👉 Open on Saturday & Sunday My greatest strength is dog walking whether it's on trails or in the neighborhood. I am confident & well experienced in walking all dogs no matter what their size, breed, or temperament. I quickly gain their trust & establish friendships with every single dog as well. I'm also known to take detailed notes about your pets' specific care & routine & will ask all of the questions about the location of leashes, litter boxes, food, etc, to ensure that every visit goes smoothly. I will also test your key at the Meet & Greet for peace of mind. You can count on me to treat your pets as if they are part of my family. I do not rush through the visits. In fact, you'll likely learn that I will stay a bit longer if your pets need extra TLC! I know how important & reassuring it is to have detailed updates & multiple pictures & I can guarantee that for you. Communication is very important to me! Please note that I do not board pets in my home. I look forward to hearing about your pets! Providing service in my South Berwick hometown, Eliot, Rollinsford, + Dover but there may be exceptions to travel further so please ask! I adjust my schedule according to your pet's schedule as closely as possible. ✔️When your dog is triggered by other dogs, people, etc, I will reverse directions or cross the street to avoid any reactivity. ✔️ I will not take your dog to "say hi" to dogs or people including the mailman for safety + liability. ✔️Dogs must be indoors in between visits for safety reasons. ✔️Slow & safe exits out of doorways to ensure that dogs do not escape.

About: I have been around dogs all of my life and I have grown up with Boxers. When I was in high school I would watch dogs in my town very frequently, from staying overnight to just walking and letting them out during the day. I currently work full time in Portsmouth. I work in the office M-F but I can make arrangements if your pet needs to be let out during the day. I am respectful and courteous of my clients homes. I clean up after myself and I always keep my clients updated during my stay by providing pictures and reaching out if needed.

About: Hi! My name is Angie, and caring for animals has always been a lifelong passion. I previously worked as a Manager at Paw Tuckaway Pet in Raymond, NH. Currently, I am pursuing my Associate's Degree in Veterinary Technology while working locally as a Veterinary Assistant, allowing me to expand my knowledge and provide exceptional care to every pet I meet! With over 10 years of pet sitting experience, I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and small mammals, and I'm comfortable handling pets of all kinds. I have a special interest in exotic pets and since 2020, I've specialized in nail trims for dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, and reptiles. When I'm not caring for pets, you'll usually find me curled up in a book. In my spare time I also enjoy exploring the outdoors, capturing nature through photography, and spending time with my sun conure, Maui. If you are looking for someone who treats every pet like family, I may be the right pet sitter for you! I am available before and after work as well as midday on days off. A typical drop-in visit is around 30 minutes and includes feeding, walking, potty, and anything else your pet may need. Every pet and their family is different, which is why no visit looks the same. I am flexible and willing to provide whatever you and your family may need while you are away, including getting mail, putting trash out, opening/closing blinds, switching lights, etc. I am also a huge fan of sending updates after each visit along with photos of your pet!

Hiring Tara was my first experience with using Rover and I'm so happy for that decision! My other searches for finding help left me down to the wire with finding a sitter for my cats while we were on vacation. Tara was prompt with her responses and saves the day! I had not left 3 if my 6 cats alone overnight before, so I was very nervous, but she did such a fantastic job taking care of all my babies. I loved getting pictures of them every day, which also made my kiddo very happy. I'm so appreciative of the fantastic care Tara provided and we will definitely hire her again in the future.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Somersworth

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Somersworth on Rover is $26.64 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of September 2026, there are 1,005 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Somersworth. 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 Somersworth 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

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

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% 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 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.
