“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.”
“Rebecca was an amazing sitter for our yorkiepoo puppy, she is very responsive and always sends lots of pictures along with summary/feedback of the drop in. She is very caring, accommodating, flexible and very pleasant to work with, very positive experience. Our puppy Z was so happy and loved her company. Rebecca went above and beyond and helped with lot of things for Z while we were away.”
“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.”
“Stephanie understands cats, and it shows! From the get-go, at our meet and greet, she took the time to make friends with my cats and learn about their behaviors and interests. She was a very professional, thorough, communicative, and caring catsitter for my two kitties, and I'd absolutely hire her again!”
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, even when their family is away. Whether it’s a relaxing walk, an energetic adventure, or a drop-in visit filled with playtime, belly rubs, meals, potty breaks, or quiet companionship, every visit is tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Building trust with both pets and their families is my top priority. I take the time to make sure every dog and cat feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while keeping owners updated with plenty of photos and messages along the way. I have occasional time off, which I will be available to walk your dog or feed your dogs/cats and provide them with quality care. I have my own pets and love animals, so they will be in good hands. I will go to homes to feed or walk pets.
“Melanie was fantastic! She arrived right on time, took great care of our dogs, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. We have a large puppy who's still a bit skittish around new people, but Melanie was patient, calm, and took the time to earn his trust. She handled both dogs wonderfully, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: Throughout high school, my family fostered dogs through a local rescue, where we had the opportunity to take in dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’ve grown up with dogs and around animals and I have always been the go to pet and house sitter for friends and family! I have taken care of my own dogs in addition to fostering dogs for about 2 years and dog sitting for families for over 3 years! I am currently a college student at Lehigh University living on campus and I do have a car, so I am more than willing to stop by and care for your pets or dog and house ist for longer times if needed! Having experience in dog sitting in addition to fostering dogs and cats, I have a good understanding of how to care for a pet and how to cater to their needs and their environment, no matter their size, temperament, or age!
“This is our second time having Heather as our cat sitter. I am so glad we found her! Our cat gave her kisses and that melted my heart. Thanks again for taking such good care of our little sweetie.”
“So happy to have found Brenda on Rover! She is super reliable and manages to interact with all four of my dogs and sends me a little blip of their time together and fun pics! I couldn’t have picked a better person to be with my fur babies. Thank you!”
“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!”
“Hailey did such a great job with my two cats! She’s so sweet and attentive. She even washed the cat’s bowls for me! (I feed them canned food and told her I could just wash them when I got back from my weekend trip). She left my place better than what it was when I left. I will definitely re-book with her in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
“This was the first time I have used Peggy and she was the best! My babies loved her and I could tell she loved them too. She is definitely going to be my "go-to" for now on!”
“Kaylynn did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and cat while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for them like they were her own. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Amber traveled to check in on our feline babies and it was much appreciated! We had to go out of town on pretty short notice for an ailing family member and it was great getting updates during each visit to know our family at home was safe.”
“Heather took such good care of my fur baby Raz While I was away. She always goes above and beyond in caring for him! He definitely loves her and I trust her implicitly.”
“Alex came over for a drop in visit. Our dog has some fear/anxiety issues so we were a bit nervous. He was so great with Dierks and Dierks even ended up falling asleep right next to him. Thankful to have found Alex on here and look forward to future visits!”
“Kerri and Harry are so awesome! They really understand all types of dogs. They are so great with our dog (also named Harry) who is a little quirky and doesn't like just anyone. Very accommodating and always answer very quickly. I very highly recommend them to take care of your pet!”

This was our first time using Suki for our cats and she was GREAT! She said she would do evening feed at 5 pm and morning feed at 6:30 am and she arrived at exactly those times. She fed everyone, changed waters, cleaned litter boxes, cleaned up cat bowls from prior feeding and left everything exactly as she found it. We would absolutely recommend Suki and will use her as our petsitter again!
Rebecca is a treasure! She took amazing care of our two kitties (one being a senior cat that is 16 years old and requires a special diet and thyroid medication twice daily). She gave wonderfully detailed notes and pictures with every visit. We couldn’t be happier with her service. We will definitely use her again and would recommend her to anyone who needs an exceptional pet sitter. She is kind, intuitive, and responsible. Thank you so much Rebecca!!
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.
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Southampton on Rover is $24.42 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,486 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.
