“Whitney stayed overnight with Bolt. Bolt immediately seemed at ease with her. She took him for his walks and fed him. We were delayed returning and she was gracious enough to stay until we returned. Will definitely book her services again. Thanks Whitney!”
“I needed a sitter with short notice and David was able and willing to come meet my 3 dogs within hours of contacting him. He was kind and gentle with my boys and knew how to approach one of them who is fearful. He listened carefully to my instructions and asked when something wasn’t clear. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with him when we met the same day he stayed overnight. He stayed longer when we were going to be home later which I appreciated. When we got back, he left a kind note and some chocolates for us. I would hire David again!”

About: I adored my puppy for nearly 13 years and I trained her as a puppy. I also had two dachshunds that I raised as puppies. I have dogs sat for many friends and I cared for each as if they were my own. Dogs feel comfortable with me immediately. I am retired and have full availability to be with your dog all day. I only need a couple of days notice to be available. I cannot have dogs at my apartment at this time as I live in a place where dogs are only allowed if they are service dogs. I can stay in your dog’s environment so they feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, my sisters will ask me to watch them if they are away and I have two cats I work full time 9-5 but have plenty of time in the morning and evenings. I am also available on the weekends. I also work from home on Fridays so my day is flexible I take care of two cats at my house, I have helped friends and family with pet sitting their dogs, giving them company and taking them on walks
“Ashiera was fantastic with Ethan! She sent pictures everyday and was good at communicating with us. This was the first time since we adopted Ethan 2 years ago being apart for an extended time. When we came back Ethan looked as refreshed and excited as we did for our mini vacation. I wouldn't hesitate leaving Ethan with Ashiera again. She will love your fur baby as if they were her own.”
About: DONT EXCEPT UN NEUTERED DOGS.

“Alexis was incredibly kind and understanding. We had a dog sitter cancel and she agreed to help with our brother’s dog alongside ours on Thanksgiving day. She took good care of the boys and was good at updating us.”
“Rob was truly exceptional, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly. He watched our two girls for 9 days, and from start to finish, he went above and beyond in every possible way. He took incredible care of both dogs, even going so far as to buy them extra-special treats to celebrate their birthdays while we were away which was such a thoughtful and unexpected gesture that meant so much to us. Our dog Winnie has anxiety, especially during bad weather, and Rob was unbelievably patient, attentive, and gentle with her. Knowing she was in such caring, capable hands gave us complete peace of mind. Rob was kind, thoughtful, and communicative, providing great updates throughout our trip that reassured us our girls were happy, loved, and well cared for. On top of that, he treated our home with the utmost respect. He clearly took pride in being a responsible and considerate house guest. It’s rare to find someone who cares this deeply, not just about the dogs, but about the entire experience. We came home to two very happy pups and a perfectly cared for home. We would trust Rob again in a heartbeat and feel incredibly lucky to have found him!”
About: Along with working in the animal field for over 15 years, I'm also a dog and cat foster for 2 different rescues for 10 years. My experience expands broader than Rover, so don't let the lack of reviews fool you. I am currently working from home, so I have plenty of time in my schedule to add in walks, visits, playtime, or anything else that is required. I have been fostering dogs for over 10 years. Although we don't have a fence, we have a double gate system at each door to ensure there are no risks of bolting. (Each room with an exit outside is gated by a tall, locking baby gate that is ALWAYS shut behind us when we exit.) As for the clients, home, I am willing to do what the client desires in order for their pet to feel as happy and comfortable as possible while their owner is away. All prices are negotiable.
“Emily did great at watching both my dogs. She was great at sticking to my dogs medicine and feeding schedule. Followed all instructions I had left about them. Took them on a walk when she didn't have to. I trusted her completely in my house while I was away as well. She seemed to enjoy being around my dogs which always helps ease anyone worry that a sitter would treat them kindly. My dogs also seemed to like her as well, which is helpful. In fact, I have actually hired for two more over night occasions this month. I would highly recommend her.”
“Amazing sitter!! This is the first vacation i’ve taken in a while where I haven’t felt on edge leaving my two cats behind because of Amanda! She sent me updates and pictures which I highly appreciated. Would absolutely rebook! thank you (:”
About: I have worked at an animal shelter and an animal Hospital. Your animal will be in great hands! I will love them like I do my own! I am working full-time at an animal hospital but will pick up on days I’m not working to help where I can! It will be on different days throughout the week because my work schedule is not consistent. I am comfortable going to client homes. I don’t have a big enough place to host unfortunately. I do have my own German Shepherd mix and ask if I can bring him along while I work, if not that is okay too!
About: I’ve grown up with many pets from the age of two. But since I was probably 13 I’ve been pet sitting for family friends, family members, and neighbors. I currently have 3 dogs, a cat, and a rabbit. And I am always learning about animals and how to best care for them. I am currently working part-time. But my job is very flexible. I don’t have a specific set of days that I have to work- it will be sporadically in the week. But I am always able to discuss scheduling. My three dogs have a big fenced in yard and get lots of exercise. Sometimes we go to the dog park for some socialization. At my clients homes, I walk as many times as they need, feeding, and medications (if there are any). For cats, I will clean litter, feed, do medications as needed as well, and playing if they like that!
About: I have been taking care of animals for 5 years i also just joined :) Please supply food and equipment thank you so much heart Pet care is ingrained into me I was raised taking care of pets growing up so the routine for me is simple dot dot dot I care for pets all the same in every environment no home is any different than the other so i feel very comfortable in every environment
About: Good Morning! I am Janiya and I’m excited to introduce myself! As an animal science graduate student, my journey with dogs began at a young age. I have been caring for my own dogs since I was just 10 years old, which has given me a deep understanding of canine behavior and needs. My academic background in animal science has equipped me with a solid foundation in animal care, health, and behavior. Through my coursework, I have gained insights into various aspects of veterinary medicine, nutrition, and training techniques. This knowledge allows me to provide not only basic care but also specialized attention tailored to each dog's unique requirements. In addition to my studies, I actively engage in clinical hours at a local veterinary clinic under the guidance of a certified veterinarian and vet tech. This hands on experience is invaluable. It has allowed me to observe and participate in real-world scenarios involving pet health care. From administering medications to understanding common health issues, this practical exposure enhances my ability to recognize signs of distress or illness in dogs while I am sitting or walking them. I’m currently working during the week so I’m available currently on the weekends anytime and will update my hours if need be due to obtaining a set schedule for clinical hours. I believe establishing a consistent daily routine is crucial for both dogs. This includes regular feeding times, exercise, and bathroom breaks. For my husky, who is energetic and playful, I ensure she gets at least an hour of vigorous exercise each day. This includes walks, runs, or playtime in the yard. My cockapoo also enjoys playtime but requires slightly less intense activity due to his smaller size and older age. I ensure that my home environment is safe for both dogs by removing hazardous items such as toxic plants or small objects they could swallow inside and outside. Additionally, I use baby gates if necessary to restrict access to certain areas of the house where they might get into trouble. I have learned by following these steps consistently in caring for my husky and cockapoo at home, and applying similar principles when caring for clients' pets, I’ll create a nurturing environment that supports their health and happiness.
About: Caring for animals has been a passion of mine since I was a young child. I grew up in a household where we always had at least two dogs. I have experience caring for both small and very large dogs and several different breeds. I am a Certified Veterinary Assistant as well, so you will never need to stress or worry about your precious pets well being while in my care. I promise to treat your pet with love and kindness as if they were my own. I also love to walk and get out in nature so your pet and I will have a blast going on long walks and trips to the park. I cannot wait to meet you and your 4-legged friend. I’m a full time working mama with a 4-legged friend of my own to care for. My widest availability occurs on the weekends but I welcome you to reach out to me if you need anything in the evening. For dog walking services, we will decide what you’re comfortable with in terms of time and frequency of the walks. If there is a specific loop you prefer. I will always avoid interaction with other pets during our walks as a precaution. Inside the home, I’m happy to follow any instructions. If you prefer your pet be fed or given water. I can perform maintenance such as cleaning the eyes or folds and giving medications. It’s truly up to you.
“Jen was a great sitter for our pup! She came over early in the morning twice to keep him company while we were away. We will be requesting Jen’s assistance when we need another sitter. Thanks Jen!”

Madison was great with our dogs. She is kind, thoughtful, responsive, and respectful. Our dogs loved her . I have a reactive senior chihuahua and she did so well with her . She took very good care of our dogs and home . We will book her again . Thank you Madison ♥️🤗
Margaret was great caring for our babies Faith and Hope. When we came home from 8 days in Italy our pups were happy to see us but not anxious. This was a first for us. From the minute they met Margaret they took to her! Margaret cared for and respected our home which was an added plus! We will definitely call on her again and hopefully she will be available.😁

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,817 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Southampton Township. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Southampton Township 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 Southampton Township 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.
Tip: 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 Southampton Township 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
