“Rebecca was really great with our senior Dog. She kept us updated and sent pictures on every single drop-in visit. Will definitely be using her again. Rebecca, thank you so much for taking care of our dog!”
“Katie was great with our 10 year old Havanese Bailey. She was always on time and sent pictures and videos of him for every visit, which gave us peace of mind that he was well taken care of. She communicated in a timely manner and got back to us with any questions. This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely use Katie again in the future.”
“I am so happy to have Brenda to help care for our family’s new puppy. It is very reassuring to me that he has a scheduled playtime with Brenda when we have other commitments. I especially love the pictures that she sends after the visits so that we can see how much fun our little guy had. She is a wonderful sitter!”
“Brianna was the best. We had great communication before, during and after the drop-in. The photos were unexpected and gave me peace of mind. And thank you for doing this last minute. I don’t know what I would have done without you. Will be seeing you again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs from small to medium, from puppies to seniors! Along with that, I also have a senior dog myself, so I know best on how to handle them and care for them. I’ve interned at a doggy daycare, so I also have knowledge on taking care of multiple dogs at once and keeping their temper in check. GENERAL FYI: I will be free for services throughout breaks & holidays, but during the regular school year, I will be in state college for…you guessed it! College! I’ll have my break times listed below once I get that information in case if you want to book me ahead of time for holidays! I’m currently a college freshman working remotely! So to say that I have a lot of time is an understatement…the amount of time I have this summer is unimaginable! So whether you need someone to walk your dogs every day of the week, or watch them for days, you can be sure that I definitely have the time for that! I’ll make sure that your fur babies will have the most fun with me! I’ll make sure to match their pace with playtime, along with certain breed characteristics, or personal preferences! I tailor myself uniquely to every new animal!
“Anastasia was a great dog sitter for my 3 dogs, one of which was a new puppy. She handled everything wonderfully. She is prompt to reply and to arrive, she is very pleasant, resourceful capable and she is a natural with dogs. She gets 5 stars from us. She inspires great confidence / we were delighted to meet her.”
About: I grew up with multiple dogs, and have routinely taken care for my parents' dog when they vacation. I love meeting new animals and seem to have a sixth sense for making sure they're comfortable and happy! I'm currently a virtual student, so I have time to work and am good to travel to watch pets or watch them at my own home. At my home, I have one medium-large dog that loves to play and cuddle. I'm comfortable with bringing friendly animals home or watching more sensitive animals at the client's home.
“Maddie took great care of our 2 cats while we were away, especially our one kitty that requires a daily medication pill. Although the daily pilling was not a favorite activity for our cat, Maddie showed patience and did her best to gain her trust. I felt at ease knowing Maddie works as a Vet Tech and has experience with animals. She made sure to give treats and participate in daily playtime. We will request Maddie again in the future.”
About: I grew up with cats and still have cats. I had a dog when I got older and have experience with both animals. I am trustworthy and reliable. I am off from my job during the summer so I will have plenty of time to look after and play your pups and kitties. I have a cat that uses the litter that I scoop very often. When I did have a dog either he was walked or was let into the yard. I play with cat and when I had a dog I played with the dogs and spent time with them.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! Growing up in a pet-loving home, animals have been a constant part of my life for over 20 years. I am completely in my element around them, whether it’s lounging with a sweet, spunky Dachshund or keeping up with the big energy of a Black Lab. Because I’ve lived with pets my entire life, I understand their body language, their unique quirks, and how much they crave routine and affection when their owners are away. I'm not a professional trainer, but I am a dedicated, lifelong animal lover who will treat your fur babies with the exact same care, safety, and devotion I give my own. As a teacher, my schedule opens up completely during the summer months! With my days wide open, I have total flexibility to provide frequent check-ins, midday walks, and plenty of daytime companionship and play when your pets need it most. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, your pet will enjoy a fully fenced-in yard that is perfect for secure playtime and potty breaks. They will also have the company of my sweet, senior miniature Dachshund, who is great with other animals and sets a relaxed, gentle vibe. Because of my experience with a senior Doxie, I am incredibly mindful of keeping a watchful eye on small dogs, managing stairs, and maintaining a calm environment. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow their established routines, respect your space, and make sure they get the exact exercise, feeding schedule, and love they are used to in a stress-free environment.
“Cathy was all I could have hoped for in a caregiver for my sweet kitty. She was loving and followed my directions carefully. Philly was happy to see me when I got home, but calm and content. She had eaten her normal amount of food and Cathy sent pics of Philly playing! The pics were very reassuring. Thank you Cathy.”
About: I will make sure your dog gets the love and care they deserve. I've been taking care of dogs and cats for years, including the ones I have at home. I am very good with animals, it comes naturally. I have always been an animal lover and being around animals just brightens my day! I have 1 dog and 4 cats. They are my life. I cat sit and dog sit for a living. I will take your dog on long walks to get their doggy energy out. I will give them belly rubs and play with them all day long. I'm also very good with cats if you need a cat sitter. I'm available everyday throughout the week and I hope you choose me to take care of your fur baby!
“Kristi took very good care of our cat when we were away. We will definitely keep her in mind for next time and appreciate all the beautiful photos of her while we were away. Mind was at ease knowing she was getting good care.”
“Steph has taken care of our cat several times. Always professional, sends lots of pictures, and gives details on how the cat is doing. My cat loves having her cat sit.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13. I have 5 years experience working in 2 different dog daycares watching dogs from all sizes, providing meds, cleaning up after them, and feeding them. I am also dog behavior certified. I am currently a full time student completing my masters degree online so that means plenty of flexibility within my schedule. I am able to work M-F from 7-5pm and can stop by for night check ins for up to 30 min to an hour for dinner feeds and nightly walks. I care for your pets by stopping by up to 3x a day for tummy rubs, daily feedings and snacks, and lots of walks to get both our steps in!
“Our cat seemed to do very well with Dana's care. Her schedule was flexible and she kept us updated and provided pictures that made us feel well connected. When we arrived home every thing was perfect and there were no issues to deal with.”

Anastasiia has watched my baby cat Valentina for about 1.5 years, and I cannot trust anyone else as much as her! She follows all instructions, makes me feel at ease while I’m away, and is so kind to my baby. She also does not complain if I ask her for some requests. She willingly and happily treats all her clients amazingly. She also sends food of her cleaning the bowls, videos of playing with my baby, and even takes picture of the litter box because I am an anxious cat mom. She is amazing and I will always go back to her!
Nikki, was great ! My one cat is very shy when anyone comes in the house she hides. Nikki was able to get her to come out a little bit. My other cat is a senior and very friendly and loves affection. Nikki was very friendly and helpful with the girls. I would have her take care of them again.
I cannot say enough great things about Emily! This was our first time booking with her and everything was seamless. She came for a meet and greet with our crew about a month ahead, and we communicated a few days before her sitting. Pictures and notes were posted daily. Even when I occasionally didn’t have cell service, no worries. Emily treated our pets like family, which allowed us to relax 😎

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Southampton on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 4,462 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Southampton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southampton. On Rover:

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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
