“Whitney did a great job taking care of my dog & cat for a few days while I was away. She was very responsive and I came home to two happy babies. Highly recommend!”
“Natalie was so great watching our dog Otto! She kept him on his normal schedule, took him on his long walks, and gave him lots of love and attention while we were away. We felt at ease with lots of updates, pictures, and communication, and really appreciated the time and effort she put in to taking care of him! She also kept everything so clean. Would definitely book her again!”
“Gregory did a great job watching our two dogs. He was dependable, easy to work with, and has a calm energy that our dogs seemed to respond to really well. We felt confident leaving them in his care and would happily have him watch them again in the future.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I’ve spent years caring for my own dog, who experiences seizures, and my senior cat, whom I lovingly cared for through his final years. These experiences taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and understanding that every pet has their own needs and personality. My passion for animals has also led me to pursue extensive academic and hands-on experience. I studied veterinary medicine throughout high school, completed an intensive summer program at Cornell’s College of Veterinary Medicine, earned a biology degree, and most recently interned rehabilitating New Jersey wildlife. I’m comfortable reading body language, recognizing concerning symptoms, administering medications, and providing canine and feline first aid and CPR. I’m detail-oriented and attentive to each pet’s needs, while also loving to play with energetic pets and keep them happy, engaged, and exercised! I’m available 7 days a week, day and night, for boarding clients, so your pet will have plenty of company and attention throughout their stay. I keep feeding and bathroom breaks consistent with their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and settled. We’ll typically go for a walk after lunch, with additional activity based on your pet’s needs. Playtime is tailored to their temperament and mood; whether they’re energetic and ready to play, or prefer some quiet cuddles and downtime. My goal is to keep their routine familiar, comfortable, and fun while they’re away from home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have an unfenced yard, so all outdoor time is kept safely on leash. Pets are supervised closely throughout their stay, and I’m happy to use their crate if one is provided and it’s part of their normal routine. I also have a portable pet gate that can be used to safely section off the kitchen or stairs when needed. I want every pet to feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in a safe and attentive environment.
“Quanece and Malik were wonderful pet sitters for our senior cat with medical needs! They texted us each morning to let us know that our cat took her meds and frequently sent us pictures of her. They arrived promptly and were very clean and respectful of our home. We will 100000% be using them for our next extended vacation!”
“Makenzi did a great job taking care of my dog & cat while I was away on vacation. I loved the daily updates & pictures; definitely put my mind at ease leaving them in her care. Highly recommend!”
“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.”
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 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: 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.
“Lucy took very good care of our dogs for 3 days. She was home all the time while we were out as one of our dogs cannot stay alone at home. She kept us updated with lots of pictures. We’ll definitely keep in touch with her for pet sitting in future.”
About: I have had cats and dogs my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. My career goal is to become a veterinarian, and I have already spent the past few years working in both critical care and mixed-animal general practice. Through this experience, I’ve learned how to recognize subtle changes in an animal’s behavior or health and how to respond calmly and responsibly in a variety of situations. Beyond my professional experience, friends, family, and coworkers consistently trust me to care for their beloved four-legged family members—both big and small. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. My goal is to provide not only reliable pet sitting, but also peace of mind for pet owners who want someone experienced, attentive, and genuinely passionate about animal care. My current work schedule is Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. I’m great at keeping pets on their normal routine. Dogs get enriching walks, potty breaks, and lots of attention. Cats get feeding, litter box care, and playtime if they’re interested. I’ll follow whatever schedule keeps your pet happiest. Safety and trust are my top priorities in your home. I follow all of your security instructions and keep doors and windows locked when I’m out or sleeping. The only exception is a dog door if your pets need yard access, and I’ll confirm that’s okay with you first. After walks and yard time, I clean up all waste to keep your yard tidy. I also send photo updates, respect off-limit areas, and leave your home as I found it.
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.

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.
