“It was my first time using rover and I was very happy with it. Kathryn was great with my dog with the drop ins and it helped me with my anxiety about leaving my dog. I would definitely use her in the future.”
“Brenda took great care of pur Goldeen pup. She played with her, walked her and loved her up each day we were away. This is just what she needed to get her snuggles in and energy out!! Thank you so much!!”
“Kayla was great with my dog. He is older and can be a little stand-offish but she was very patient and understanding. She was communicative and let me know exactly how they were doing. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Kaylynn did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and cat while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared for them like they were her own. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We wouldn't hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: I have over eleven years of personal experience caring for my own dog, and I truly understand how important it is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine, exercise needs, and personality. I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own, and during every visit or walk, I’ll send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well looked after. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I keep my calendar updated and do my best to accommodate both regular bookings and occasional requests. Please contact me to discuss the time that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions, make sure doors and gates are securely closed, and keep dogs safely leashed during walks. I respect every client’s home and will provide photos and detailed updates after each visit, so you always know how your pet is doing.
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.
“Another great experience with Jeffrey! This was our first time being away for two weeks and Jeffrey took wonderful care of our cats while putting us at ease. He is very attentive to the cats' needs and made a point of coming at the same time daily for consistency. He shared at least one photo daily and provided updates. Jeffrey is kind and gentle. We are so grateful for him.”
“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.”
About: I’ve had the incredible privilege of caring for my own dog, Miles, for almost 18 years. Over those years, he became so much more than a pet—he was truly a member of my family. Caring for him throughout every stage of his life taught me the importance of patience, love, consistency, and paying attention to the little things that make a pet feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also cared for my sister’s dog when she needed a sitter. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I will treat every pet in my care with the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own. While I’m newer to pet sitting professionally, I bring nearly 18 years of hands-on experience, a genuine love for animals, and a commitment to making every pet feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re in my care. I am currently available on weekends and evenings. I am also usually free on Fridays. I could do morning visits before I go to work if needed. I have a fenced in yard at my home. I recently had to put my 18 year old dog down and the home has been very quiet and lonely. I would love to have the company of your dog. I have dog beds, bowls, leashes and treats but feel free to provide your own! I also live in a large neighborhood where I could take your pet on many walks.
“I felt confident that my pet was safe and content as Antonia seems to be a natural with dogs that aren’t perfect. She also altered her schedule and allowed me to have Additional care with no notice! So grateful…. I will definitely rebook!”
“Meghan provided excellent care to my two kitties. She was very conscious about keeping the food dishes clean and keeping the litter box clean. She spent time with them , giiving some love and comfort. I have reserved Meghan for multiple trips during the next year.”
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Diane to check in on our dog, Riley, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, Diane demonstrated a genuine love for animals and a high level of professionalism. She was in tune with Riley’s needs and followed all the instructions we provided for feeding, watering and caring for Riley. Diane sent photos and an update from her check in visit which gave us peace of mind, knowing Riley was in good hands. I highly recommend Diane Hanna to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you Diane for taking such good care of Riley!”
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.

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!
Maddie took great care of our 2 cats while we were away, especially our one kitty that requires a daily medication pill. Although the daily pilling was not a favorite activity for our cat, Maddie showed patience and did her best to gain her trust. I felt at ease knowing Maddie works as a Vet Tech and has experience with animals. She made sure to give treats and participate in daily playtime. We will request Maddie again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet 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 9,402 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southampton. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
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.
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 .
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.
