About: I have a big love for dogs and inspired to work with multiple different breeds to be able to learn more about all of them. I currently work full time and get out of work at 2pm everyday, only go to the gym after work for about an hour to an hour and a half and have the rest of the day free. Weekends may vary, but typically don’t have a lot going on. Have a lot of space within the house for the dogs to play around in. Also live with my boyfriend who has a big love for dogs and has a family dog of his own.
About: I’ve cared for pets since I was 9 years old- I find such joy in connecting with animals and getting to know their unique personalities! Various close connections in my life have and continue to rely on me to care for their pets when they are away or need extra support for their pets. I am excited to meet you and your animals and build relationships with people and fur babies of all kinds! I am prioritizing caring for pets, therefore have a very flexible schedule! Reach out to me and I am positive we can find a schedule and routine that works for us both :) I can crate your dog if necessary through experience with my own dogs, and I have experience administering medication safely when necessary. I am very diligent about ensuring the safety of pets to abide with whatever their owners are comfortable with.
“Kira was a star sitter! All 3 visits were accomplished on time and above and beyond our standards! Her picture updates kept our mind at ease that our babies were in good hands! Handled the puppies mess with quickness and professionalism, again above our expectations! She was on time, attentive, trustworthy, and honest! Very knowledgeable on all types and walks of pups! We cant wait to book her again! 10/10”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the level of care, consistency, and attention I give to every pet. I don’t just stop in to complete tasks—I take the time to understand each animal’s personality, routine, and comfort level so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away. I have experience with a variety of needs, including puppy care and basic training reinforcement. I can help maintain potty schedules, crate training, and simple commands, keeping things consistent so your puppy continues learning even when you’re not home. I’m also very comfortable with senior pet care, providing a slower, more attentive approach. I pay close attention to mobility, behavior, and any special routines to make sure older pets stay comfortable and stress-free. In addition, I’m detail-oriented and reliable. I carefully follow feeding schedules, instructions, and any special care requirements, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space stay clean and well-maintained. Above all, I treat every pet like they’re my own—giving them patience, attention, and genuine care rather than just supervision. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my schedule around visits to ensure pets are fed, exercised, and given attention at consistent times. I’m reliable, flexible, and able to accommodate morning, afternoon on weekends and can provide full evening care, making sure each pet gets the time and consistency they need. For safety and trust, I always follow owner instructions carefully, keep environments clean and secure, and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. I treat every home with respect and make sure pets are always in a safe, comfortable environment. tailor my care based on each pet’s routine and the specific service requested, whether it’s drop-in visits, walks, or extended stays. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping everything as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m also attentive to litter box or yard cleanup, administering medications if needed, and maintaining a clean, safe environment. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and always make sure doors, gates, and pets are secure before leaving. No matter the setting, my goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I have had medium/large dogs for most of my life. I have taken care of a 35lb Australian Cattle dog as well as 2 pit bulls between 55-70lbs. I've also dog-sat a dog under 10lbs and walked dogs who were 140lbs. I've also worked in home with families who had cats ranging in size and demeanor. I work full time which is why I can only do sitting on weekends. I am looking to do more hobbies and this seems like something fun for me to add. I care for my dog Zelda who's partially blind so I have an awareness for disabled pups. That is also the reason I cannot board dogs in my home. I would likely spend a large portion of my day with the dog I'm taking care of, giving them some kind of walk during the day and making sure to lock up each time I leave the home. I would make sure they are fed on time and receive the same kind of loving care I give my dogs at home.
About: Calm, quiet environment with a sitter who craves doggy time. My 12 year old black lab recently lost her fight with cancer. Not ready to bring home a new dog, but would love to care for your precious fur babies while you are away. I offer patience and attention to your canine's needs. I'm a human nurse but also experienced with dogs special needs such as insulin administration. I work Monday-Friday, Home on weekends. No young children. Available for walks, dog Parks (dog park with your approval), or hanging out in the yard secured on a 50 foot lead. Dogs are not left outside unattended. You're welcome to bring your pets favorite toy for us to use during their stay. Will try to keep them on your schedule for easy transition from home to sitter. I speak to animals as of they can respond. Days are better with happy pets! Friday drop-off at 5:30 pm. Sunday pick-up by 8:00pm. I have a large yard and a spacious house. Spend weekend around the house doing small projects, crafting or cleaning. It's a quiet, stress free household with a very flexible schedule. While I miss my own pet I'm looking to offer a love-centered environment similar to children visiting their favorite Aunties house.
About: Patience. I understand every fur baby has a personality. I will take the time to get to know them. I will communicate with fur parents to understand their care needs. I can be very flexible. We can work together to meet the needs of the parents and fur babies. Multiple visits in a day are available. Walks, feeding and limited grooming available. I am a fur parent of 4 grown dogs, spanning 3 generations. Every fur baby has a personality. Mine like to cuddle and watch movies and I can’t wait to learn about your babies personalities!
“Alison is legitimately the best pet care provider I have EVER had. My cat fell completely in love with her. Every picture, Frannie was interacting with Alison. Keep in mind that Alison and Frannie were strangers to each other. Frannie was sitting in Alison's lap making biscuits on day one. Alison sent so many great photos and responded so quickly to all of my messages. When I got home the litter box was clean and the floor was clean. She literally vacuumed up all of the tracked litter. She was at our house caring for Frannie exactly when she said she would be, and I know this because we have a ring doorbell. I have already rebooked for our next trip.”
About: I've been taking care of cat's, dog's, and small animals since I did my senior internship at the local animal shelter, I have learned how to properly give animal's medication's if needed. I'd love to give your animals the same love as if they were my own!
About: Hello! I have 30 years of experience caring for pets. I own an 80lb lover-girl named Lobster and a 10lb rascal-cat named Trinity (from The Matrix!) My schedule is very flexible and I'm available for couch snuggles, energetic playdates, and walkies. My furry companions have other members of the family to care for them at home if I'm pet-sitting overnight. I can drop-in your place, go for walks, stay overnight, give your cat snuggles, or (with your approval) bring your pup(s) to my large fenced-in backyard!

“Alexis went above and beyond to make sure our two cats were happy and cared for while we were on vacation for the week. Loved the daily updates. We felt so relaxed knowing our guys were in great hands! Thanks for everything Alexis!”
About: We have a combination of 20 years of lovingly caring for dogs of different personalities. We have a friendly and playful whoodle who will be happy to have a buddy for playing in the yard and who also doesn’t mind giving other dogs space if they are less playful.

“Anna is absolutely amazing! I was so nervous to hire a “stranger” last minute for my trip but Anna made everything soooo stress free!!! She took perfect care of my pup, sent daily updates & was easily accessible via message! Anna is the best of the best!! ♥️♥️ so happy she is no longer a stranger !”
“Anna was fantastic! Really went above and beyond with our two cats (who can be a little hornery), but they quickly fell in love with her visits and the extra time she spent with them. Would book again!”
About: I believe in treating animals humanely and as we would want to be treated. Dogs get the same affect from exercising outdoors as humans do, maybe even more. So why not give them what is good for them? I know you love your pets as a family member and would do anything to keep them healthy and happy however, I understand life just gets in the way sometimes. Allow me to be there to take care of them and give them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s taking your pup on a wellness walk in the outdoors, playing laser tag with Mr. Meowgi, or keeping your house pets company by staying the night, no request is too big or small to keep your floofs happy. I am just as flexible with taking care of any animal (take a peek at some of my pics) as I am with what I charge. Please do not hesitate to reach out. And always remember, A happy pooch is a happy parent! I am patient, understanding and love all animals. I work full time as a waitress in the evenings and attend online college during the day. I have availability most days and can be flexible (: I have grown up with pets my whole life. I currently live with 2 dogs and a parakeet. I have cared for pets with anxiety, senior animals, farm animals and baby animals.
“Saktah is an amazing choice for anyone looking for pet care. She's incredibly timely with updates and great pictures to let you know your pets are safe and secure when you are away. We have one older cat with medication requirements and another with a special diet. Saktah took care of everything and then some! Her photos, videos and messages about your pets are second to none. Would use her again and recommend to anyone wanting the best for their pets. A++”
“Hannah was awesome dropping in to feed and care for our two cats. She was able to handle our cat’s medication and subcutaneous fluids like a pro, and was very communicative with updates. We would book her again no doubt. She is a top notch pet sitter! Thank you so much Hannah!”

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 Southampton 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!
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.

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 .
