“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.”
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. 🐾
“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!”
“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!”
“Alex was great! Our dog was under a lot of stress. We had just moved to a new home and then had to leave him for 5 days, just 3 days after moving. Alex was patient and kind with my dog. He had a couple of accidents on the carpet due to stress and Alex was patient, and went out and bought calming treats for him. 10/10 would recommend Alex for every dog.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with 6 years of hands on experience caring for my own dog, Marley. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, keeping routines consistent, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’ll always follow your instructions and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m especially patient with energetic dogs and happy to use basic cues or routines your dog already knows. I have a flexible schedule and will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and playtime. I’m available for scheduled walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting depending on your needs. I take pet safety very seriously and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I’ll keep your pet supervised, comfortable, and secure and will provide updates so you know how they’re doing.
“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 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!”
“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.”

“Chrissie is so incredibly sweet! I have really enjoyed having her a ls a consistent sitter for my cat with all my trips. She’s experienced, dependable and loves on my boy giving him the nurturing social interaction he needs. Definitely recommend her services!”
“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.”
“Kate was awesome! She provided Drop-in visits for my dog Bella. Bella is very timid and usually takes a bit to adapt to a stranger. But Bella loved Kate the moment she saw her. This was my first time using Rover and Kate made it a great experience.”
“I was kept updated & received pictures of my senior girl when while we were away for 12 hours. She was happy & content. Becky & Christian are great to deal with!”

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.

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.
