“Micheal is a great sitter. Before the first time boarding, he did a thorough walk through with me on my usual routine with my pet and my expectations, and he also provided the detailed information on the environment he provides for the boarding. His schedule is really flexible, is easy to reach and quick to respond. He took great care of my dog and my dog was really happy and relaxed while boarding. He updated me everyday on the status of the dog and also send great pictures. Thanks Micheal for providing a comfortable environment for my dog.”
“Charlene took great care of my Zoey! After a successful daycare session and trial overnight, I was at ease leaving Zoey with her for an extended period. She loves playing in her yard with her dog, Jack! Charlene made sure Zoey was comforted during the fireworks on the 4th and continued monitoring her for any signs of distress. She also tolerated Zoey digging in her garden (sorry!). Zoey loves being there and looks forward to going back! I highly recommend Charlene!!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover and reliable pet caregiver with years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Before fostering cats, I fostered dogs and I even had two “foster fails!” My two sweet pitties stole my heart and became permanent members of my family. Over the years, I’ve fostered numerous cats and kittens, including seniors, shy cats, and young babies. Fostering has taught me that every pet is unique, and I love taking the time to build trust, help them feel safe, and provide care that fits their individual personality and needs. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply having a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and patience. I’m also comfortable giving basic medications when needed, but my greatest strength is creating a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax and be themselves. My professional background has strengthened my patience, reliability, and attention to detail, and I bring those qualities to every visit. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I’ll always treat them like they’re part of my own family. You can also count on regular photo and video updates, so you’ll always know your furry baby is happy and well cared for! I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I currently work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the day. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I’m able to provide dependable, attentive care while keeping your pet’s schedule consistent. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn their routine, respect their personality, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Whether in my home or yours, I provide plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so they know their furry family member is happy and well cared for.
“Stephanie and her family are such great pet sitters! My pup came home tired and happy after two days with their family. I received tons of photos and communication during his stay. They’re the best!”
“We are so grateful to Sayak and his family for the great care they gave Bailey while we were away. We loved the daily updates and photos and could tell from the photos how comfortable Bailey was staying with them. We will definitely use Sayak again & would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“As always stellar service and Ruby has become an extended part of the hosts family! Daily texts with video and photo updates put my mind at ease that Ruby is being well taken care of. She even has a little “boyfriend” Sebastian that they follow each other around and take naps together. In terms of flexibility, communication and professionalism, Isbath, her family and fur babies deserve more than 5 stars! She comes highly recommended!”
“Lineth did an amazing job taking care of our cat! She kept us updated with plenty of pictures, and it was clear our cat felt so comfortable and happy with her. Lineth was so thoughtful and attentive that we never had to worry while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Stefanie was really great with our dog and made the entire experience stress-free. She was incredibly communicative, sending frequent updates and photos of potty breaks, walks, meals, and how he was doing throughout his stay, which gave us great peace of mind. We brought home a happy, healthy pup, and it was a wonderful experience from start to finish—we wouldn’t hesitate to book with Stefanie again!”
“Lulu and I met Ji and there was an instantly connection. As she had never met Ji and was in a different environment, Lulu seemed content. Ji kept me updated on Lulu’s adjustment, which stated was going well. I truly appreciate Ji being able to take care of Lulu on such a short notice. Hopefully in the future if needs arrives Ji will be able to take care of Lulu again.”
About: Fostering through Cold Nose Warm Heart NJ allowed me to fulfill my passion for working with dogs, but unfortunately I am no longer able to keep pets at the house. This has not stopped my love of dogs! I’d like to be a dog walker to have the opportunity to continue to spend time with dogs whenever possible! Fostering has given me experience with all kinds of pups - puppies (8 weeks+), small dogs, big dogs, shy dogs, playful dogs, … I work remotely and have a flex schedule. Able to accommodate different schedules, and willing to work with you based on what is most optimal for you and your pup! I have two dogs of my own (1 and 2) who love playing and would welcome guests. I very much understand the importance of keeping pups on a schedule, so will dutifully follow such plans.
“This is my second time boarding my dog with Grace and she is AMAZING! She takes such amazing care of my baby and always sends pictures and communicates. Grace is flexible and considerate. Could not recommend her more to anyone looking for quality pet boarding. Thanks Grace!”
“Anny was wonderful with our dog Simba! She was kind, polite, and professional from start to finish. We especially appreciated the frequent updates and photos she sent while we were away — it gave us total peace of mind. Simba came home happy and healthy, which says it all. We would absolutely book Anny again and highly recommend her to any pet parents.”
“We had a lovely experience with Bhavani! She was very flexible and accommodating our our slightly uncertain drop-off/pick-up times. She was also very responsive to our texts and sent several videos unprompted to show how well Tala was settling in for her short stay. This was great for our peace of mind!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Somerville
We were very pleasantly surprised by how professional, kind, and attentive this couple was while caring for our dogs. Since we’re not from the Northeast, we were a little nervous about leaving our pups in an unfamiliar area, but they immediately put our minds at ease. They were incredibly welcoming, communicative, and genuinely caring. We felt confident that our dogs were in great hands, and we’ll absolutely book with them again the next time we’re in the area. Absolutely recommend!
Jenny and her husband were absolutely outstanding hosts for our dog while we were in the middle of moving. They were incredibly friendly, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind during a hectic time. Their massive fenced-in yard was also perfect for our dog to run around and enjoy. We would book with them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them!
Nala had a wonderful time at Pardeep's. Pardeep sent pictures with clever captions. He kept me updated on how she was doing. I really appreciated it. Nala seemed to have enjoyed her stay there and seemed to have gotten on very well with Pardeep's dogs. I would absolutely recommend Pardeep for boarding.
Kumud provided a wonderfully safe environment for our dog Harper, as always. We love getting all the photos and updates during the stay. Harper has stayed there so many times, she excitedly jumps out of the car when first arriving to play with the other dogs and get attention from Kumud's family. We couldn't recommend Kumud more!
We have used Brittany multiple times now to take care of our dog. We appreciate her flexibility with our schedule. She has always been very attentive to our dog and provides us with daily updates which is great. Celia seems to truly enjoy her stays there each time she goes.

There are 5,444 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Somerville. About 89% of Somerville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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 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 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.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NJ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
