“Joanne was a great sitter, she watched our dogs for two weeks and did an awesome job. Sent updates and pictures and even took one dog to the vet when she showed signs of a UTI.”
“We’re very happy with the care provided by this wonderful family! They took great care of our three dogs for three nights—sending regular updates, photos, and feedback every day. The dogs were comfortable and happy, and we could truly relax knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of breeds and sizes, from two Shih Tzus at the same time to a 90-pound Boxer, and now my lovable English Bulldog. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, exercise, and lots of affection while their owners are away. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and I'm available for early morning and evening walks, daytime boarding for pets with light activity needs, and boarding on weekends. I'm also available for weekday care and boarding after 5 PM. Because I'm home most of the day, pets can enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection in a calm, comfortable environment. Pets in my care are treated like family. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a friendly English Bulldog who gets along well with other pets. I typically accept dogs under 50 lbs but am happy to care for other pets as well. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs, including administering medications when needed. For boarding, pets are rarely left alone for more than an hour, and I do my best to maintain their normal routines so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you're away.
“Thana & Subangi were wonderful! They treated my pets like one of their own. All pictures and videos sent throughout the 9 days showed happy, well taken care of doggies. Plenty of outdoor fun and extra care taken during meals. Dogs were given alot of attention. I am so pleased and will definitely leave my dogs in their care again!”
“Julia was an amazing dog sitter! She was communicative and gave us frequent updates and pictures. She treated our pup like her own and we’d definitely love to work with her again. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Mallika was amazing. She really took the time to get to know Coco and help her feel at home. She was in communication with us and gave us updates. I would highly recommend Mallika to anyone looking for a caring sitter.”
“Karina was absolute amazing with our senior dog. She took such good care of her and sent us pictures with updates! We would highly recommend her to anyone who wants a loving place for their dog to stay!”
“Emma was amazing! She was responsible, caring, and responsive. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our dog had a fantastic time and got along wonderfully with her dog, Mac, which made the stay even better. We’re so grateful for her care and will definitely book with her again!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life—from raising rabbits, ducks, and parrots as a kid to caring for my own dogs today. I currently have two: a 12-year-old Pomeranian and a 4-month-old Border Collie puppy. Caring for both a senior dog and a high-energy herding breed has given me experience across all stages of a dog’s life—from patient senior care to structured puppy training. I’m very observant of each pet’s needs and behavior, which helps me notice if something seems off and respond with care. I’ve also cared for various breeds, including English Pointers and toy breeds, and I understand that each dog’s personality and routine are unique. I’m beginning formal obedience classes with my Border Collie to expand my training knowledge and apply positive, engaging methods with all the pets I care for. My goal is to make sure every animal feels safe, loved, and happy while their owners are away—just like I would want for my own pets. Caring for animals is part of my everyday life and something I truly enjoy. I’m home full-time, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. My routine already revolves around caring for my two dogs — a senior Pomeranian and a young Border Collie — with regular walks, playtime, training, and affection. Adding pet sitting and dog care to my daily schedule feels like a natural extension of what I already love doing. I make time each day for exercise, mental stimulation, and rest for the animals in my care, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether pets stay in my home or I visit theirs, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would with their own family. I follow each pet’s routine closely — from feeding and walks to playtime and rest — and I always keep their comfort and well-being in mind. In my home, pets have a calm, clean environment with plenty of supervised playtime and affection. For in-home visits, I respect the owner’s space and care for pets according to their regular schedule to reduce stress and maintain consistency. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep them mentally and physically active, and send frequent updates so owners always know their pets are happy and in good hands.
“I feel bad for myself when my dogs have a good time without me. - but THEY LOVE GOING TO DEB’S! An overnight and no problems, no starving themselves, no crying all night. Just a regular day only without me. How lucky am I to have access to this help for my furr babies (and for my soul)!”
“Jaimie provided wonderful care to our two dogs, Penny and Hugo. She helped them to feel safe and comfortable (and got them through all the scary noises of a loud thunderstorm!) We all appreciated the regular photos and updates that Jaimie sent to us.”
“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!”
“Very happy with Foxy first visit. Just as anyone, I was concerned leaving my dog in a new home, specially mine that is a bit scared of things and people. Charlene was very helpful explaining how things were going, how the adaptation was evolving, sending pictures and notes. Overall, extremely happy and I will leave my dog with her for another 2 weeks, which should speak by itself.”

Jenny and her family were great caregivers. We left our 1-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel for an entire week, and we could not have hoped for kinder and more loving care. Her home is safe, clean, and gracious, and she has a large, fenced-in yard. Jenny sent us pictures every day, which was so reassuring to see our pup happy. We were worried having to leave our baby for the very first time while we were overseas for 7 days, but it all worked out very well. Thank you, Jenny!
kumud is a great dog sitter ! she took amazing care of our dog & treated him like family ! she knew we were nervous to leave our dog (first time with a rover sitter in a new state) & she sent us updates every single day; allowing us to enjoy our trip without worrying ! thanks kumud !
We had a wonderful experience with Stephanie! She took such great care of our dog and treated them like family. We received regular updates and felt completely comfortable knowing our furry friend was in such loving and responsible hands. Our dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed their stay. We truly appreciate the care, attention, and love they provided. We would definitely recommend her! 🐶❤️
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.

There are 5,417 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Somerville. About 89% of Somerville sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

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.
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.
