About: I have been taking care of animals of all shapes and sizes for 10 years now. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and breeds. I can feed, medicate, walk, sleep over and care for your fur baby! I specialize in high energy pets that need just a tad bit more attention! I am an avid pet lover and cannot wait to meet your four legged family member! I am currently working 3 days a week and am home plenty to make sure your pet gets the care they deserve! I always check up in the morning, give them space when they’d like it, come back multiple times for playtime, make sure they ate some and do everything to make them comfortable! I do not have a fence but I do have a lot of grassy areas for outdoor loving pets! I love playing in that space, long walks and outdoor time to help get their energy out! I always take things slow and at the pets pace.
“Reina watched our dog and cat for 8 days. She showed up on time and never missed a check in with our animals. They were very happy with Reina and comfortable around her. We would definitely book Reina again!”
“Appreciated the help checking in on our pups with a last-minute booking! Isaiah was patient and understanding with us and our anxious pups while we navigated this first time Rover experience.”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs since I was 12, as well as my neighbors dogs for the last 7 years. From pit bulls to golden retrievers, I love spending time with dogs of all breeds. Whether it be going on walks, playing fetch, or giving them love and attention, I’ll make sure your dog is safe and well cared for. I am currently a college students with a very flexible schedule. I only have classes Tuesdays and Thursdays, however I am still available before, in between, and after class. I have experience with crate training and walking all kinds of dog breeds. I have a crazy lab and plothoud mix at home so I am comfortable handling energetic dogs.
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.
About: I've taken care of cats, dogs, fish since I can remember, have loved every moment! Would love to help take care of your special family member ❤️ I'm currently devoting my time to pet care, there will be plenty of time for walks and play Monday through Friday, some Saturdays. Possibly Sundays I walk any size dog, spend time in your home to have play time, grooming time. With cats I would feed, clean box and love them
“Lisa kept us updated everyday and sent plenty of photos! I’m glad to have felt comfortable leaving my fur babies with Lisa and knowing that our shy cat enjoyed her company definitely set the bar high for us that she was going to be a great sitter.”
About: I have working experience with a vast array of animals. I enjoy learning about different animals, creating species specific care guides and following them! I have experience shadowing at both a dog day care, and a veterinarian hospital. I am in college for Conservation and Wildlife Management, and have a senior dog, and a hamster of my own! I am currently taking a semester off from college, and would love to stay active throughout the fall and winter! I often love to explore new areas, and I'm sure a pet would too! I am very responsible to make sure all doors, gates, etc are closed and locked before leaving to ensure no pet escapes. Animal safety is a priority of mine, and I will be sure to follow any instructions left for this reason. I will also clean up any mess left by a pet that occurs while I'm there.
“Jeffrey took great care with our three cats and communicated with us every day, sending us notes and photos. He is a pleasure to work with and gave us such peace of mind knowing all was well at home. This is our second time working with Jeffrey and he will continue to be our first choice whenever he is available.”
About: As a young child, I grew up with five dogs in the house at a time. Three Yorkshire terriers and we rescued greyhounds. I have always had a love in my heart for animals and dogs specifically. I have worked at pet resorts taking care of dogs and cats. I have dealt with all types of dogs and their different personalities. I have training in administering medications and being precise in measurement when feeding. I am knowledgeable about different types of harnesses and precautions when walking your pups.

About: Hi my names Dana, I am full time at home, and I have had dogs my entire life. I can never recall a time in life that have not had a least one dog. I am the person who walks into a party and spends the entire time playing with the hosts dog! I worked as a vet tech in college and I love EVERY breed. If you hire me you get me and my daughter Rory who is also a dog lover. We both volunteer at the shelter in our free time and are suited to handle dogs of most temperaments. We have an active home and take dogs on several long walks a day or give them other exercise based on their needs, whether it be mental or physical. We also have a large fenced yard which is great for exercise and potty breaks. i’m home all the time so I can dedicate all of my time to taking care of animals. I work part-time from the house on my computer. I treat every dog like it’s my own. I really love dogs I have three of my own who range in size from 80 pounds down to five I’m very well-versed with every different type of breed.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was very little as I always had a special bond with dogs. I went to a tech school for veterinary science where we were trained in many things, one of which being nail trimming. I can also assist in training puppies, but I am not a professional trainer. I am currently in college with a part time job. I can stay over the weekend if needed or a couple days during the week. I can walk your dog in the afternoon or evening depending on what works with your schedule. I only have classes 2 days a week where I would be able to let your dog out between my classes if that is what was needed. My schedule is very flexible! I do not do boarding in my home, but your pet will have the comfort of remaining in their safe place at home. I will give updates on how your pet is doing whenever you want them or if you just want to check up on them.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Southampton
Sara is the best!! We have a very energetic labradoodle, and Sara knew how to handle him from the start! She is clearly very experienced and was handling all of his energy and calming him down on her first visit. She sent us photos of our dog at each visit along with regular updates. Sara is just outstanding and our dog wholeheartedly agrees!
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!
We could not be happier with Suki! She took care of our dog for one week when we were gone. Suki was an excellent communicator at every visit, and played with our dog endlessly! When delayed flights changed our timing a little, Suki was flexible and accommodating, which was so helpful to us. We will definitely book with Suki again!

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. 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 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.
