“I had a last minute cancellation for pet sitting and was able to find Peter whom did a wonderful job at taking care of my dog. He took my dog on nice walking trails and gave me suggestions on caretaking him. Peter is really down to earth and I believe my dog really trusted and enjoyed his company. I am very grateful to Peter and hope he has success in pet sitting in the future!”
About: I have been dogsitting since I was about 14 years old for my neighbors, and in adulthood have become the go-to dogsitter for many of my friends. While I am not at a point in my life to have a dog of my own, I absolutely love them and have experience caring for my family dog, which is why people trust me with their babies. This started as an opportunity to get some much-needed dog time, but I have turned it into a side hustle as well! I am currently in between jobs so my schedule can be very flexible including morning, day, and night time hours. I am originally from Hatboro, PA and will be moving back there from Chicago in July. I am available beginning July 14th. I will take care of your dog or cat as if they are my own. The main reason I began pet sitting is because I love them so much, but I’m not in at a point in my life to take on having one on my own. I have extensive experience with walking and in-house sitting dating back 15 years.
About: I used to have a dog - he passed away this past year but he was a big golden retriever! I would love to get back in dog care and take care of your animal ! I am pretty easy going and fun - I love dogs - DM if you want more info. In terms of walking I love walking dogs and take them on excursions and adventures in parks and nature centers, dog shoppes and so much more. Just let me know your dogs triggers and behaviors on walks I’m pretty free during weekends but am also flexible during weekdays - currently I am waiting on starting work but it will be part time so if I am out of the house I will coordinate with you when I can sit I don’t have a fence but a big yard and a big house they can sleep wherever they feel comfortable and get lots of hugs and kissses
“Angelica was amazing! She watched over our dog, Polly, for several days and treated her with such care. Angelica was very communicative and shared lots of photos which we loved. We’d absolutely book with her again in the future!”
“Hailey was wonderful with our dog Dixie! She took great care of her, and our home, while we were away. She sent pictures and updates often. Dixie loved her walks and snuggles with Hailey!!”
“Jesse was such a wonderful pet sitter for us during a weekend away! He was friendly, clearly enjoyed the pets, and his communication was awesome— lots of pics and videos to tide us over!”
“Brian and Georgette took excellent care of our two dogs and our home while we were away. They provided daily updates and photos / videos of our pups as well, which we truly appreciated. We highly recommend them!!”
About: I have taken care of family dogs for almost my entire life. From young puppies, middle aged, and even sick older dogs. I enjoy taking care of dogs and making them feel comfortable and happy. I am experienced with all types of feeding methods, giving medication, and anything necessary for your pet to be safe, healthy, and happy. I am currently unemployed so I can help with pet care almost anytime of the day or week. I love animals and enjoy taking care of them while also helping those who need pet sitting. I currently have a fenced yard but I do not offer pet sitting in my home. I would be open to doing it in certain circumstances. I offer pet sitting in clients home and would be willing to spend hours at my clients home and even sleep over if necessary.
“This was our first time using rover and Irina made the process smooth and stress free. She gave us constant updates and spent a lot of time with our girls. Both our cat and dog were very well taken care of and definitely received a lot of love !”
“Maggie had a great time with Alex! He was very attentive, kept me updated and made my very anxious girl relaxed. We will definitely use him again to keep Maggie company!”
“Matt took great care of our pup while we were on our honeymoon. Before we left Indy had a cut on his foot that required him to wear a bag on his foot and to be wiped with medicine after returning inside. Since this happened the day before we left we didn’t really have a chance to get him used to the process. Matt went above and beyond to care for Indys paw injury and kept us updated. We would highly recommend Matt!”
“Loghan did a great job taking care of our 16 year old shih tzu. She was very kind and compassionate as well as respectful of our home. We would definitely use her services again in the future.”
“Always such a great caretaker for our animals. They have provided so much help with last minute assistance with our animals. TreDerica is incredibly communicative and has always shared so many pictures with us while we are away. Will happily book multiple times !”

We are so lucky to have found Joelle! She takes the best care of the kitties and our home - she sends updates that feels like she can read my mind. It’s such a relief to be able to go on vacation and not worry. You can tell she loves animals and cares for them like there her own. 🥰
Kate watched our two dogs and two cats for a week. They were all so well loved and taken care of while we were away. She gave our dog Mickey medicine every day, scooped the cat boxes, played with our dogs and snuggled all of the animals daily. We will definitely use her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Southampton on Rover is $38.85 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,692 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Southampton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Southampton walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Southampton maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
