About: I treat every dog or cat as if it’s my own. I will love on them all day long. I have a mini aussie so I’m very used to high energy dogs and keeping them entertained. I’ve taken care of all different types of breeds from small pups to large pups and I love them all. I’m very comfortable with all dogs whether they’re playful or shy. I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week. I work during the weekdays as a babysitter assisting with after school care, but get off at 6. Other than work or maybe an occasional doctors appointment, I’m free plenty throughout the day to watch your pup. I really enjoy spending quality time with dogs and want to create a safe, comfortable, environment for them to be in. I love to be able to socialize your dog with others and take them to the dog park or on walks on nature trails. Depending on what your dog’s typical schedule is, I can always accommodate it.
“I’ve had Audrina come sit for my cats two times and she’s been great each time! She’s very respectful and responsive of our cats needs. I can rest assured when I’m away and I know my cats are in good hands.”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have cared for my own golden retriever, Sunny, since he was a puppy. Sunny is now 5 years old, well-behaved, and friendly with other pets. My experience includes daily walks, playtime, and creating a safe, loving environment for dogs of all temperaments. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I walk Sunny twice daily—morning and evening—and love spending time outdoors. My schedule is flexible, so I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays. I live in a one-level ranch-style home with a fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for safe outdoor play. My home is quiet, clean, and pet-friendly. Sunny is gentle and social, making him a great companion for visiting pets. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their comfort and safety.

About: I am an experienced sitter who has cared for all kinds of pets! I grew up in a pet-loving family surrounded by different types of pets!

Southampton pet parents share their Rover experiences
Cynthia did a fantastic job taking care of my cat! She made sure she always had water, a clean litter box, and a little play time. She updated me with each visit and gave a thorough report card to let me know how things were going. I would definitely recommend Cynthia as a cat sitter and book her for future trips.
Kiera was wonderful. She bonded quickly with Cary and she would greet Kiera at the door with her “purr engine” humming. I really appreciated the pictures that she sent. I highly recommend Kiera. Her love of all animals is quite apparent. I don’t often leave on trips, but Kiera is at the top of my list when I do. Five stars. Would hire again.
Alexis went above and beyond on the tasks requested and even stayed extra time with my cats which was very kind of her! She was punctual and responsible and my cats warmed up to her immediately. I was able to have peace of mind during my trip. I would definitely rebook with Alexis and recommend her to anyone looking for pet care.
