“Rebecca was really great with our senior Dog. She kept us updated and sent pictures on every single drop-in visit. Will definitely be using her again. Rebecca, thank you so much for taking care of our dog!”
“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!”
“Brianna is the best! I feel very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. And they are excited to see her. What better way does a dog acknowledge their love for someone. And the photos and reports definitely make me feel more at ease. Until the next time!”

“We’re so happy to have found Sarah and so appreciative for how well she’s taken care of our pups. She lets us know when she is over, checks in with us throughout her stay, and never minds spending extra time with them to ensure they have enough play and run time. We will continue to have Sarah watch our pups!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs from small to medium, from puppies to seniors! Along with that, I also have a senior dog myself, so I know best on how to handle them and care for them. I’ve interned at a doggy daycare, so I also have knowledge on taking care of multiple dogs at once and keeping their temper in check. GENERAL FYI: I will be free for services throughout breaks & holidays, but during the regular school year, I will be in state college for…you guessed it! College! I’ll have my break times listed below once I get that information in case if you want to book me ahead of time for holidays! I’m currently a college freshman working remotely! So to say that I have a lot of time is an understatement…the amount of time I have this summer is unimaginable! So whether you need someone to walk your dogs every day of the week, or watch them for days, you can be sure that I definitely have the time for that! I’ll make sure that your fur babies will have the most fun with me! I’ll make sure to match their pace with playtime, along with certain breed characteristics, or personal preferences! I tailor myself uniquely to every new 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.”
“Anastasiia was great. My dog Oliver loved her immediately. Made me feel comfortable right away. She followed all instructions. And sent me photos and videos to keep me updated.”
About: I grew up with multiple dogs, and have routinely taken care for my parents' dog when they vacation. I love meeting new animals and seem to have a sixth sense for making sure they're comfortable and happy! I'm currently a virtual student, so I have time to work and am good to travel to watch pets or watch them at my own home. At my home, I have one medium-large dog that loves to play and cuddle. I'm comfortable with bringing friendly animals home or watching more sensitive animals at the client's home.
“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.”
“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.”
About: I grew up with cats and still have cats. I had a dog when I got older and have experience with both animals. I am trustworthy and reliable. I am off from my job during the summer so I will have plenty of time to look after and play your pups and kitties. I have a cat that uses the litter that I scoop very often. When I did have a dog either he was walked or was let into the yard. I play with cat and when I had a dog I played with the dogs and spent time with them.
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 available Monday-Thursday after 4 pm and have a very flexible and open schedule Friday-Sunday. I am incredibly reliable and my only obligation is my internship that runs from 7-3 Monday-Thursday. 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.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! Growing up in a pet-loving home, animals have been a constant part of my life for over 20 years. I am completely in my element around them, whether it’s lounging with a sweet, spunky Dachshund or keeping up with the big energy of a Black Lab. Because I’ve lived with pets my entire life, I understand their body language, their unique quirks, and how much they crave routine and affection when their owners are away. I'm not a professional trainer, but I am a dedicated, lifelong animal lover who will treat your fur babies with the exact same care, safety, and devotion I give my own. As a teacher, my schedule opens up completely during the summer months! With my days wide open, I have total flexibility to provide frequent check-ins, midday walks, and plenty of daytime companionship and play when your pets need it most. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, your pet will enjoy a fully fenced-in yard that is perfect for secure playtime and potty breaks. They will also have the company of my sweet, senior miniature Dachshund, who is great with other animals and sets a relaxed, gentle vibe. Because of my experience with a senior Doxie, I am incredibly mindful of keeping a watchful eye on small dogs, managing stairs, and maintaining a calm environment. When caring for pets in your home, I strictly follow their established routines, respect your space, and make sure they get the exact exercise, feeding schedule, and love they are used to in a stress-free environment.
“Cathy was all I could have hoped for in a caregiver for my sweet kitty. She was loving and followed my directions carefully. Philly was happy to see me when I got home, but calm and content. She had eaten her normal amount of food and Cathy sent pics of Philly playing! The pics were very reassuring. Thank you Cathy.”
About: I will make sure your dog gets the love and care they deserve. I've been taking care of dogs and cats for years, including the ones I have at home. I am very good with animals, it comes naturally. I have always been an animal lover and being around animals just brightens my day! I have 1 dog and 4 cats. They are my life. I cat sit and dog sit for a living. I will take your dog on long walks to get their doggy energy out. I will give them belly rubs and play with them all day long. I'm also very good with cats if you need a cat sitter. I'm available everyday throughout the week and I hope you choose me to take care of your fur baby!
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!

Rebecca was an amazing sitter for our yorkiepoo puppy, she is very responsive and always sends lots of pictures along with summary/feedback of the drop in. She is very caring, accommodating, flexible and very pleasant to work with, very positive experience. Our puppy Z was so happy and loved her company. Rebecca went above and beyond and helped with lot of things for Z while we were away.
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.
I cannot say enough great things about Emily! This was our first time booking with her and everything was seamless. She came for a meet and greet with our crew about a month ahead, and we communicated a few days before her sitting. Pictures and notes were posted daily. Even when I occasionally didn’t have cell service, no worries. Emily treated our pets like family, which allowed us to relax 😎

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 July 2026, there are 9,794 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.
