About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and I’m always excited to meet a new furry friend! I grew up with dogs and have cared for pups of all different sizes, ages, and personalities. Whether your dog is full of energy and ready for a long walk or would rather spend the day playing, getting belly rubs, and hanging out, I’m happy to keep them company! Friends and family have trusted me with their dogs when they’re away, and I genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality and routine. I’m always ready for walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. My goal is to make sure your pup has a fun, happy day while you’re away! ♡ I’m currently working towards a masters and my classes are all at night. This gives me lots of flexibility to spend time with your pets during the day! I’m available for walks, drop ins, and visits throughout the weekdays, times when your pet might otherwise be home alone. Weekend availability varies, so feel free to reach out and I’ll be happy to let you know what I can accommodate. ⚠️ Quick Note on House Sitting | Boarding My standard overnight house sitting rate includes overnight care and plenty of time with your pet throughout the day, as long as they’re comfortable being left alone for up to 3 hours. This allows me to occasionally step out for groceries, errands, or other short bookings. If your pet needs constant care and cannot be left alone due to medical needs, recovery, puppyhood, or separation anxiety, just let me know before booking! I’m happy to discuss their needs and arrange an hourly rate for constant care. I have pets of my own, so I know how important it is to leave them with someone you trust. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and whatever care they need. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. 🐾
“Katie was great with our 10 year old Havanese Bailey. She was always on time and sent pictures and videos of him for every visit, which gave us peace of mind that he was well taken care of. She communicated in a timely manner and got back to us with any questions. This was our first time using Rover and we will definitely use Katie again in the future.”
“So happy to have found Brenda on Rover! She is super reliable and manages to interact with all four of my dogs and sends me a little blip of their time together and fun pics! I couldn’t have picked a better person to be with my fur babies. Thank you!”
“Kristi took very good care of our cat when we were away. We will definitely keep her in mind for next time and appreciate all the beautiful photos of her while we were away. Mind was at ease knowing she was getting good care.”
“Stephanie was very good with my two cats. She brushed them inorder for them to get comfortable with her. She also asked for their favorite toys and played laser light with them. Also, she followed all my instructions and sent pics and a video. I would definitely recommend Stephanie for cat care.”
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 have classes Tuesday-Thursday. So I am still available Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. 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.
“Melina was so great with my dogs! I have a huge 120 pound dog who can be a little naughty and a little bulldog mix and she was incredible with them both! I came home from my trip and they were content and not stressed out at all. Highly recommend Melina and I will definitely be using her again :)”
“Sarah was excellent with our dogs. Very communicative, and even offered to visit more if needed. She provided exceptional care of them and was respectful and thoughtful of our home. Would highly recommend”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 13. I have 5 years experience working in 2 different dog daycares watching dogs from all sizes, providing meds, cleaning up after them, and feeding them. I am also dog behavior certified. I am currently a full time student completing my masters degree online so that means plenty of flexibility within my schedule. I am able to work M-F from 7-5pm and can stop by for night check ins for up to 30 min to an hour for dinner feeds and nightly walks. I care for your pets by stopping by up to 3x a day for tummy rubs, daily feedings and snacks, and lots of walks to get both our steps in!
About: Hello, My name is Jayne and I would love to help you! I’ve had cats and had a childhood dog my whole life. 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! I work the typical 9-5 but would love to talk care of your animal companions beforehand or in the weekend. I am flexible on the weekend. I can feed, provide water, clean litter, walks, and overall companionship in your home or mine. Would love to provide a safe environment with any animal.
“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.”
“I have been using Brianna’s services for a year now and love her! Her personality, kindness, punctuality, the way she handles and treats my dogs, is nothing but stellar!”
“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!”
About: I am a dog fanatic, looking to give your pooch the love, care, and attention he/she deserves. With four dogs of my own, (ranging in sizes from small to large), I am very experienced at caring for all dogs from walking and feeding, to administering medications and making vet visits. If you are looking for a kind, responsible sitter to give your dog the love they deserve, I'm perfect for the job! I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits in your home. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide reliable, loving care while you’re away! I believe the best pet care starts with keeping your pet comfortable and sticking to their normal routine. During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet’s personality and needs, whether they’re energetic and ready for an adventure or prefer a little extra patience and a quiet visit. I’ll also make sure they have fresh water, meals as needed, and a clean, comfortable space before I leave. Most importantly, I’ll treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“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 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.

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!
This was our first time using Suki for our cats and she was GREAT! She said she would do evening feed at 5 pm and morning feed at 6:30 am and she arrived at exactly those times. She fed everyone, changed waters, cleaned litter boxes, cleaned up cat bowls from prior feeding and left everything exactly as she found it. We would absolutely recommend Suki and will use her as our petsitter again!
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.
Nikki, was great ! My one cat is very shy when anyone comes in the house she hides. Nikki was able to get her to come out a little bit. My other cat is a senior and very friendly and loves affection. Nikki was very friendly and helpful with the girls. I would have her take care of them again.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 9,433 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Southampton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
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 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Southampton. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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.
