About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle senior dogs. Over the years, I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, playtime, and overnight care. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, whether that means sticking to a specific feeding schedule, administering medications, or providing extra patience and comfort for shy or anxious animals. I work full-time from 8–4, which means I’m available for early morning walks or drop-ins before work, as well as evenings for dinner and playtime. Weekends are much more flexible, so I can offer longer visits, walks, or house sitting. Caring for pets fits naturally into my daily life because I truly enjoy spending time with them, it’s how I unwind and bring balance to my week. Depending on your location I may be able to stop by for mid day potty breaks, or to check in on your fur baby. In My Home: Pets get a safe, cozy space with plenty of attention. Dogs enjoy walks, playtime, and rest, while cats have fresh litter boxes, toys, and their own room to relax. A crate is available if needed. I have 2 friendly large dogs who can play together inside if you like. In Your Home: I follow your pet’s routine to keep things stress-free—walks, feeding, play, litter care, and cuddles included. I also keep your home tidy so you return to happy pets and peace of mind.
“Melissa was excellent with our three dogs! She handled everything perfectly, and even with two of them being foster puppies who are barely trained. She was patient, caring, and kept us updated throughout. We came home to happy, relaxed pups. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and loving sitter!”

About: I’m a young professional that just moved into the area and looking for some part time work.. I’ve always loved and cared for animals my entire life, and it’s something I truly enjoy. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have watched and taken care of my friends and family dogs since I was young. I’ve had close friends go on trips for weeks / months and would take care of their pets with great care. know how important it is to find a right person to watch your pet, and with my background and my professional nature, I know you’d feel More at ease knowing everything will be okay. Would love to help out when you’re in a tough spot and for you not having to worry about the care of your pet.

I currently work during the week until 3 pm, but have the ability during lunch to check in and tend to the animals. I’m available after 3pm any day during the week. There are currently two dogs and a fenced in backyard at my property. Ideally would rather pet sit at your location but in tough situations I can use my house.
About: I've worked at an Animal Shelter for about 7 years. I've also worked and The Animal Advocate for about a 4 years. My duties were to walk them, bathe them, feed them, play with them and etc. I loved my job very much. I’m self-employed so I’m available when need to be. I will always make it my best to work around your schedule I know how important it is to be flexible. I treat all pets like they are my own pets. I really have a passion for animals. I can’t even describe how much love and passion I have for fur babies. I treat all animals with kindness and love because that’s what it’s all about.
“I literally can’t say enough about Heather. I had to go to CA for a doctor’s appt and had to be gone for a week and right before I left, my dog became really sick and needed IV for 3 days. Heather didn’t hesitate. She went above and beyond and took Maggie to the vet to make sure she got exactly the care that she needed. I wouldn’t have left my dog period, but I had that much faith in Heather and the doctor’s appt was beyond a need for me.”
“I can't put into words how absolutely AMAZING Tara was!!! My pups *adored* her! Both of my pups can be quite a handful, yet Tara handled them seamlessly and I could tell she truly loved them. Because of Tara, I was able to enjoy my honeymoon without worrying about my dogs, since I know they were being cared for so well. Tara provided thorough updates everyday, including cute pictures and funny little tidbits about them. :) She communicated so well if she had any questions, and she took top-notch care of them. In addition to daily mobile updates, she left behind a detailed spreadsheet with hourly updates to read through when we returned, and this absolutely floored me! Tara also went above and beyond to give my pup a bath (she asked my permission first) and she even cleaned, did the dishes, and did the laundry... so I came back to an immaculate house after a long day of travel!! As a part-time dog walker myself, I have very high standards and Tara exceeded them by miles!! She is the absolute best, and I would definitely recommend her!!!!!! Thank you Tara!!!!”

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 Hampton 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 Hampton 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Hampton 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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
