“Samantha took great care of Hank during her first drop-in visit last week. She was timely, reliable, and communicative before and during the visit. She sent photos and a thorough summary of the visit, which we really appreciated. Hank looks forward to seeing Samantha again soon!”
About: Im comfortable working with friendly dogs of different ages, including puppies who need extra attention and older dogs who may need a slower, more gentle approach. Plus, my dog is very friendly and enjoys the company, which can help other dogs feel more comfortable and social. I've always loved being around animals, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Whether it's walks, sticking to their normal routine, I'll treat your pet with the same love and attention I'd give my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, so I'll keep you updated with messages and photos while you're away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way. I care for pets in both my home and my client’s home, depending on the service. I make sure they have a safe, clean space, follow their feeding and walking routines, and give them plenty of attention. When I’m in a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to keep their pet comfortable and cared for.
“Marley takes notes, listens, and communicates. She's very obviously invested in understanding how you need your pet cared for and then goes out of her way to show you she's going the extra mile. I couldn't recommend her services enough. Thank you, Marley!”
About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I've grown up with them and have over 16 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Along with having dogs of my own, I've also had the opportunity to pet sit for others, from energetic puppies to adult dogs and even some seniors! I know every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know them! Whether it's going for walks, playing, feeding, or just spending quality time together, I want every dog in my care to feel safe, happy, and loved. As a dog owner myself, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I promise to treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own! As a dog mom myself, caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily routine! My schedule is currently pretty flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they get the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I also understand how important consistency is, so I do my best to work around each dog's usual routine and schedule! As a dog mom myself, caring for dogs is already a big part of my daily routine!

About: I have loved and taken care of my 3 dogs during the past 10 years since they were puppies. In addition, I have also taken care of my friends' pets while they were traveling. I enjoy spoiling and caring for pets and will make sure they are happy. I'm currently working part-time time and I am available during a variety of times throughout the week to help care for your fur baby. Every day, I feed and walk my dogs in the morning and in the afternoon and spend time playing with them throughout the day. I regularly check if they need anything and make sure they get their medications on time. I will make sure to take care of my client pets in a caring manner similar to my own fur babies and follow all of my client's care instructions
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 16. Mostly cats and dogs, not just my own! Baths, feeding, walking, occasional medicine and especially playtime! I have my own business and I’m looking to do this on the side for whoever needs some help for their furry friends! I love animals! So I can’t really host your pet in my house because of my 2 dogs but I’m more than willing to come to yours and help care for your pets.
“Jason was fantastic! Needed last minute help and he was able to look after my two crochety 13 year old dogs with complex medical needs! Would not hesitate to book again!”
About: I have over 40 years experience caring for dogs and animals. My experience includes employment with a veterinarian, employment at a kennel, and a lifetime of dog ownership. We custom built our home to be a perfect paradise for a dog's life. We have a beautiful fenced in private backyard that offers a grass area, deck area, and a woods area for those adventuresome puppies! We have a dog door for those dog guests that want frequent outings or door service by us for those less ambitious doggies. A typical day at doggy paradise includes numerous supervised romps in the fenced in backyard, walks in the neighborhood, lots of love, and plenty of water and meals as per owners instructions. As a little background we just lost our last two dogs within the past two years, one to old age, and one young to cancer. We still want dogs in our life so we are now boarding. Note: An additional daily surcharge will be collected for dogs over 55lbs, details will be addressed at booking depending on dogs weight and age. Thank you Full time care. We will take great care of your pet in our home and fenced in backyard. Typically there is an adult present for full 24 hr care. I have a fenced in yard where dogs are let out. I follow your specific dogs instructions and routine, depending on what they are used to.
“It is the first time that Jodie did drop-in-visit for Oskar, my 10-year-old Cairn Terrier. She seems dependable and caring. I will use her services again when needed.”
About: From my experience growing up with dogs, I will adequately walk, feed, and care for medium-small dogs. I have also provided in-home catsitting services while family-friends are away for up to two weeks at a time (feeding, playing, litter). I'm currently a college student at Sacred Heart University and I'm looking for a job in pet care during the school year and during breaks (between semesters in the winter, over the summer). My landlord does not allow animals in our house, but I will gladly care for your pet in the comfort of your home and walk your dog in your neighborhood.
“Olivia is amazing! She watched our three high-energy dogs. We have a small Doodle, a medium Doodle, and a very large Golden Retriever. They loved her! She was always on time and shared great photos and updates during her visits. We will definitely rebook Olivia for future visits as she is wonderful with our boys and a great communicator. Thank you, Olivia!”
About: I previously co-founded a dog training business, managing client relationships and operations, but I have since stepped away from it. Prior to that, I worked for Coaching for Paws, a renowned dog training business in northern Connecticut. I have been working with dogs for around five years and have experience with training basic obedience, dog walking, dog sitting, and overall care. I am currently a senior at Fairfield University, however I have most of my weekdays free to dedicate to your pups’ needs, which allows me to provide consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means going on walks, playing, feeding, or simply keeping them company. Because of my flexible schedule, I am able to accommodate different care needs and maintain reliable routines for pets, helping them feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owners are away. I have lots of experience with different dogs and understand the needs of dogs and owners. I am able to meet any needs or criteria.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for animals, starting at an age 12, I looked after small, medium, and large dogs, as well as parrots and fish.

My building has green areas downstairs for frequent potty breaks, ensuring your pet gets plenty of fresh air and personalized attention. As a student, I have a very organized routine. On Tuesdays and weekends, I am available all day for daycare. I’m Fridays, my pet care schedule starts at 3:00 PM, which is perfect for evening daycare or overnight stays. During these times, I am mostly at home studying, so your pet will have my full attention and frequent potty breaks in my building’s green areas! Safety is my top priority. In my apartment, I ensure all areas are dog-proofed and free of small objects. Since I live in a building, I always use a leash when taking pets downstairs to our private green areas to ensure they are safe and secure. I never leave pets unattended and I follow any feeding or medical instructions provided by the owners. I also love sending frequent photo updates so you can see your pet is happy and safe with me!

I am very comfortable working with dogs of all sizes and breeds and will be sure to keep your dog safe and comfortable if you choose to work with me!
“Jay is a very personable and responsible person who endeared him self seamlessly to our cats and dog with his calm and attentive approach. We were very comfortable leaving them in his care. Jay kept us updated on his drop ins, followed our protocol when a storm was approaching, setting our pup up to be comfortable despite his storm anxiety. My pets were very relaxed and happy on our return. Our senior dog was checking our front door anticipating Jay's arrival the first morning we were home, a clear indication that he very much enjoyed his visits. We highly recommend Jay.”

Oscar was very professional and quick to respond. Our two boys felt very comfortable with him. If we ever need someone to help out with them again we will definitely choose Oscar. We told all of our friends and family in the area that they should reach out to him if they ever need assistance with their dogs.
Charlotte was great! So dependable and easy going letting out our precious Pomeranian who is anything but easy going. Charlotte persisted to earn her trust and slowly Poppy warmed up. We will absolutely use Charlotte again. We feel very lucky to have come across her wonderful Pet Sitting Services.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Southport is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $19 and $41 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 November 2026, there are 4,503 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Southport. 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 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 Southport. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
