About: I have been an animal advocate since I was volunteering at the PSPCA during my childhood. I’m a former Humane Police Officer in Philadelphia. I’m a very experienced with pretty much any animal. Friendly and caring. I’m currently on medical disability and have a pretty flexible schedule minus a few appointments here and there. I am trying to get some part time gigs. I current have a cat of my own, a foster cat and 7 fish tanks. I’m highly experienced in animal care and husbandry. I have much passion, care and respect for animals. I take pride for the hundreds of all kinds of animals I rescued.
“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.”
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!
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
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.

I’m detail oriented so please leave all the things required to care for your dog, no matter how silly it may be. If your babies are anything like mine they definitely have some quirks that need to be indulged and I am happy to oblige
“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.”

I’ve done everything from the walks to the litter clean up and I love doing it for the animals that do so much for us. Would love to service all your needs!

About: I've been pet and house sitting since grade school and will treat your pet like the member of the family they are. We all love our pets and want them taken care of in the best way possible. I have a flexible schedule and will make room for what you and your pets need when they need it. I have reliable transportation and am very punctual. I'm always on top of keeping doors and gates secured so there's no danger of an escape act occurring. Leashes and harnesses are essential for a good walk.

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.
About: Our journey as a professional pet sitter began 3 years ago, and since then we loved it! We are experienced in providing care and love to a variety breeds, sizes and ages of the fur babies. Our furry guests will have the privileges of enjoying the gentle care along with the routine walks, bonding activities and musical entertainment in a clean and affectionate home. I am a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible for watching your fur babies. If I need to go out and run errands, I take the furry guests with me. We have 2 caged-in bunnies, and it's quite a surprise that they are not afraid of dogs! The bunnies can be relocated to upstairs if needed. Your fur babies will have supervised play in the backyard, and we always make sure to keep our house organized for safety reason. Please let us know your instructions from the vet for any special needs.

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.

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.
