“Jennifer was communicative and flexible with our needs, making a world of difference as we went away! She sent daily photos of our kitties and noted when there was a change going on!”
“Hannah was amazing. Super fast responses! She gave us great peace of mind while we were gone for so long. She was always on time, and always sent us pictures of the things we asked her to do (food, water, two litter areas). Our cats are super skittish but she managed to snap a quick pic of one and sent that as well. Our kitties were very well taken care of and we can’t thank Hannah enough.”
“Adriana took great care of Maybelline while I was gone. She sent lots of pictures, gave really detailed updates and made sure that Maybel had everything she needed.”

About: Hello! My name is Charlotte, and I’ve been caring for pets for many years. Over this time, I’ve had the privilege of looking after a variety of animals, including my own pets and those of friends and family. I’ve worked with all types of pets, from dogs and cats to birds, small mammals, birds, horses and even reptiles. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve also worked at a pet store, where I gained hands-on knowledge about pet nutrition, grooming, and general care. I have worked with a variety of species, including dogs, cats, birds, small mammals, and reptiles, learning to understand their unique requirements and behaviors. This experience has taught me how to handle animals with patience and kindness, ensuring they feel safe and loved. I’m also experienced in handling special needs pets, including those who require medication, extra attention, or specific care routines. Whether it’s giving medication or modifying their environment for comfort, I’m always happy to help make sure they get the best care possible. At home we have rabbits, rats, guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, a dog, chickens, quails, ducks, leopard geckos, African clawed frogs, goats and a pig. needless to say I can take care of a variety of pets :) I would love the chance to take care of your pets, and I’m dedicated to providing them with the same level of care I give my own. I am currently a college student so my schedule can be a bit wonky. please reach out and let’s find a time that works! :) When I care for pets, my main goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. If I’m looking after your pets at your home, I do everything I can to maintain their routine and make sure they feel at ease in their familiar environment. Whether it’s giving medication on time, sticking to their feeding schedule, or just providing some extra snuggles, I make sure to follow your instructions carefully and respecting your space. I also love sending updates with photos or messages, so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away! Building trust is really important to me. You can always count on me to treat your pets like my own and keep you in the loop about how everything is going.
About: I've lived with dogs for several years and have experience walking, playing with, and caring for dogs of different personalities and energy levels, including plenty of cuddling. I work in person two days a week and am completely flexible the other five, available anytime for walks, feedings, and drop-in visits throughout the day. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow their usual routines, keep a close eye on them during walks and playtime, and make sure they always have fresh water, attention, and plenty of affection. I also treat every client's home with care and respect, just as I would my own.

“Anne is a gem of a pet sitter! She has helped us out in emergency situations, always finding a way to fit our cat Jack into her schedule, and he just loves her. The photos are adorable and we come home to a happy boy. I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you Anne.”
About: What sets me apart is the personalized care and attention I give every pet. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves long walks, interactive play, or simply relaxing with a companion, I'll make sure they receive the care, exercise, and affection they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel at home and give owners complete peace of mind. I’m currently working a part time job so I will have plenty of time to play and give them plenty of love while I’m there. When caring for pets in a client's home, I work to keep their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box or waste cleanup, medication if needed, and lots of attention. I also respect my client's home by keeping it clean and secure, providing updates and photos, and communicating promptly about how their pet is doing.
“I want to thank you Meg because if it wasn't for you I would have not been able to attend my grandmother's wake in NYC. I really appreciate everything that you have done for me and Jax. Once again, thank you so much for taking care of him and allowing me to put my grandmother to rest! :)”
“Andrew was absolutely fantastic! He took care of my Loki for 15 days and I couldn't have asked for better service. He was incredibly reliable and flexible, which made my trip so much less stressful. Amazing service – 5 stars!”
About: I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for roughly the last 5 years. I love how sweet and cuddly animals are and I hope you will trust me to watch yours! I currently work full time, so I am available during weekends and after 5pm! I still have plenty of time to play with your animals💗 Though I do not have any animals of my own, whenever I watch someone else’s, I treat them like I would if they were mine 💗 I keep an active eye on them and make sure they aren’t supposed to get into anything they shouldn’t be in.
“Abby is very reliable. I know my kitty is cared for as she would care her own. She reported any observations immediately and waited for my decision before acting. I highly recommend her for a week-2 weeks of part caregiving.”
“Brent is amazing, always checking in and providing photos. We have booked many times and will again! My dog can be very naughty and he takes it in stride everytime!”
“I was nervous and not sure what to expect from Rover. My pets have never stayed with anyone outside my family. I was quickly assured that my pets would be safe and loved with Mariana. She listened carefully to my many instructions and gave each of my three pets individual attention. She is very knowledgeable and extremely kind. I feel my pets will not only be safe in her hands but have fun as well!!!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 544 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Pompey. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 Pompey. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
