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!
About: I knew I had a passion for dog-care ever since I was 12 and I would beg my neighbors to let me walk their dogs every week for free. Since then, I have been of service to any of my friends/family with a dog, and I am the first person my own tennis coach goes to when he is out of town and needs his dogs watched, walked, cleaned, fed etc! Its something I find true happiness and enjoyment in every chance i get I am planning on getting a part-time job soon and working a few days a week, so I dont have my full schedule yet. As of right now I am available whenever! I live in a closed off neighborhood with no main roads around, and my house is big enough for any dog to run around, feel safe, and play 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.”
“Megan was extremely helpful taking care of our three cats while on a recent vacation. She made sure to check in and share photos of the cats while we were away. Definitely recommended for your pet sitting needs.”

About: I have been a pet owner my whole life. My pets are my family and I treat them like I do my kids. Currently I own 2 big dogs; a Great Pyr and a rescue shepherd mix. I am familiar with training modifications, along with special eating requirements. I am off all summer as I work in Special Education during the school year. Currently I am available weekends and after 3:30 pm for pet visits/walks during the week. Summer I am available as needed, as well as pet walks/visits day or night. I will follow whatever rules and care the pet owner has in place. I believe pets should be in their own home especially when the stress of their family is away. This allows for the best care.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals varying from hamsters to dogs for as long as I remember. I’ve pet sat for friends numerous times , returned strays to their rightful owners, and of course raised my own fur babies. I love interacting with animals and providing them only the best! Am someone who has always had a passion for animals, Rover has allowed me to provide the car and love your furry babies deserve when you’re away! As I currently work full time but am a very active person, I love being around animals which not only recharges my battery but is also a fun time for them! Being able to match the dogs needs on walks is very important. Whether that’s engaging and active or layed back and relaxed, it’s always a great time!
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!
About: I have helped out family and friends with their pet care needs when they need it. I enjoy walking and having the company of a dog makes it more enjoyable. I’m currently working part time in the mornings so I’m available after that to walk, pop in, feed, cuddle, clean cat litter or whatever is needed. I have a fenced in yard and a dog if my own. I also have crates available if needed. I know how important it is to have your fur baby loved.
“Jeffrey was a wonderful sitter for our three cats. He did everything we asked and more. He came by for an orientation and was warm and gentle with the cats. He kept everything clean and truly cared about an appropriate environment for our cats. He visited twice in one day and heated up the cats' food, even though we did not ask. He sent photos and messages. We could not have been happier. Thank you, Jeffrey!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southampton
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.
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 😎

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Southampton stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
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.

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Southampton with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
