“Amanda took care of our three cats while we were away. She kept us in the know of what was going on at home. Leaving parts of your family is stressful but having Amanda check in on them made our travel stress free! Thank you Amanda!”
About: Just moved into a bigger space for more dogs to roam and lounge around. If you're looking for a place where your pup can stay while you're working, we can definitely do daycare! If you're looking to go on vacation and rather have your pup stay with a family of dog lovers instead of a kennel in a cage, my kids would certainly love to play with your pup in our backyard! I'm also walking distance to a park where Rush and I go to run, your pup can join us too! I can also head your way to walk and feed your pup too. My main goal is for your pup to feel as comfy as possible while you're away, whether its for 15 minutes, a couple hours, days, or even weeks! I work from home, my wife and I work with pets together to make sure they're always around with someone in our home. We also make sure to follow each dogs daily routine and diet. I have a fenced yard that was installed in my home 2 years ago. We are always monitoring the dogs outside with them, each dog is different in their behavior so we try to play with them or give them their space. When inside our home we only let them roam in our kitchen and living room space, unless they need to be crated.
About: I will understand your dog's needs and take the time to make sure they are comfortable. I have experience with reactive, aggressive, and shy dogs with varieties of needs. I have 3 border collies, my daily routine is dogs. Training, playing, and adventuring is what we do. Every day has basics that need to be met, but also beyond that. My dogs get their needed play and attention in my small fenced yard daily as well as a different daily activity, from swimming to homemade dog gym time, there's always something different and fun.
“Stephanie was excellent! I had to book last minute because my other Rover Sitter cancelled, and she was able to quickly make a stop in visit to meet my cat. I received pictures and updates about everything that was going on. It just made my vacation so much more relaxing knowing that I had someone as attentive as Stephanie watching my cat!”
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.
About: I’m the owner of Gold Paw Trails N’ Tails, a professional dog walking and pet care business. I work with dogs every day and have hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels and personalities. My experience includes puppies, seniors, large and small breeds, multi-dog households, high-energy dogs, and dogs who may be shy or anxious. I provide professional dog walking, drop-in care, group play, vacation care and boarding, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual routine and needs. Safety, reliability and communication are extremely important to me. I’m experienced with following detailed care instructions, managing different personalities and energy levels, and keeping pet parents updated while their dogs are in my care. Although I’m returning to Rover, I’m not new to professional pet care. This is what I do every day, and I treat every dog as an individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Pet care is my profession and a part of my daily routine. I own and operate a professional dog walking and pet care business, so my days are centered around caring for dogs. I offer weekday walks and drop-ins as well as vacation care and select weekend availability. I keep a structured schedule so every pet receives reliable, unrushed care. Safety and trust are always my priority. I follow each pet’s normal routine and care instructions closely and treat every client’s home with respect. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, energy levels and personalities, and I adjust my approach to what makes each dog feel most comfortable. Communication is also important to me, so pet parents can expect updates and photos while their dog is in my care.
“Grace was fantastic for quick dog-sitting and walking , Grace was incredibly reliable and arrived on time. The dog was clearly happy and comfortable upon return, which is the best outcome. would be booked with Grace again for future pet care needs." Thank you Grace”
“My weird cats and I adore Allie. I volunteered at a couple of shelters / rescues and truly have some quirky cats, but Allie acted like they were as normal as they come. She was not fazed by their individual eating preferences, oral meds, and sometimes cranky attitudes. Allie also sent daily updates with photos and I have not felt this at ease traveling in a very long time. I'm sure Allie is excellent with dogs, but if you are looking for someone who is amazing with cats, this is your sitter!”
“This was the first time I used Danielle and would absolutely recommend!! She took great care of my little girl, Luna, and went above and beyond in spending time with her. She kept me informed with photos and the house was as tidy when I returned as when I left it. Will definitely be using in the future...”
“Laura was incredibly responsive and communicative from the start, and she was willing to take care of my dog on very short notice. My dog was well cared for and happy when I returned. I truly appreciate her flexibility and professionalism. Highly recommend!”
About: I am looking forward to hosting dogs in my house. I have a 4 year old dog I recently adopted. He enjoys having other dogs come to visit! I'm a teacher so I am home weeknights and weekends to care for and play with your dogs. Your dog can sleep in my room or can be crated if that is preferred. I am also excited to explore my new neighborhood with dog walks in the evenings. I have recently moved to a new home that has a small front yard. There are trails nearby that I can use for dog walks.
About: Hi there! I have 4 years of experience caring for my own sweet Maltipoo, plus two senior Chihuahuas (13 and 9 years old) in my family. I’m confident working with dogs of all ages and temperaments—whether they’re energetic or need extra patience. I provide loving, attentive care and treat every dog like family💛. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities! I work full-time on Rover, so I’m very responsive and usually reply within 5 minutes❣️. I’m available every day, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Early mornings, afternoons, and evenings all work for me—I’m flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s routine. Last-minute bookings are welcome! At home, I create a cozy, safe environment for all pets. My 4-year-old Maltipoo is well-behaved and friendly, and he loves company! I ensure pets have plenty of playtime, relaxing moments, and space to feel comfortable. I’m very attentive to their needs—whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, or giving extra love. Your dog will be treated like family, with all the attention and care they deserve.
“It seems like our puppy had a great time with Mr. Fernandez. He sent us pictures and gave us updates in our puppy during his stay. He was very accommodating and was available on short notice. He will now be our permanent doggy sitter.”
“Isabelle is excellent. She was on time for our meet and greet and for all drop-in visits. Isabelle took terrific care of Sadie and is an excellent communicator. This was my first time with Isabelle and I am hoping she will be available in the future to watch Sadie. I highly recommend Isabelle.”
“Peggy was AMAZING. I hired her last minute because my sitter bailed. She was able to come over and meet me dog, who has special needs, and learn how to diaper and care for her. She came over and cared for my dog the way I needed someone to care for her. She was awesome and I will be using her again for sure. She's incredibly patient and kind.”

Rebecca has been such a blessing to have for our sweet pup! She gives us the peace of mind that our girl is taken care of and is having some fun while mom and dad are off at work! She leaves detailed reports and I can truly tell she enjoys her time with our girl and that makes us so happy. I appreciate how communicative and personable Rebecca is and I’m so happy we found such a great fit for our little family! 💛
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Southampton is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $39 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 9,066 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Southampton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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.
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 .
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 , 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.
